COURAGE BORN OF FAITH
GREAT mem of history hare been men of
courage, but only those whose courage waa
founded upon faith in God were able to carry their
Lfsofnnr with them to the grave, and leave on the
tablets of history a record unblemished by defeat.
Abraham is ranked by many as the greatest man
the world has ever known save only the Spot of God
who became man in order that a way of salvation
might be ntade plain to all the nation* of the earth.
Others think Moses was the greatest of men; and
•UU others seek,to place Paul upon the highest pin-
nacle. All are agreed, however/ that Abraham is en-
titled at least to a place among the thfee or four
of the world’s greatest; and It is of Interest to study
l|ls character with a vie* to learning his secret of
greatness. Called a friend of God. lie possessed
many characteristics without which he could not
have achieved true greatness; and undoubtedly his
Unswerving faith in God was the foundation which
sustained all h|f*oth«r traits of

federal aid to roads
Atlanta Constitution: It is now csrtaln that a
formidable drive te on to reduce and soon abolish
all'federal aid to the states fof building their high-
way systems. Gov. Ritchie of Maryland 1* tbs Dem-
ocratic author and chief advocate of thC drive. Ho
folds that, under the stale rights principle, every
state should finance Its own roads and not A dollar
should be given to it for ructa work from the com-
mon Federal Treasury.: . i
That contention exactly suits the present Federal
administration, and President Coolldge has argued
with his party leaders of Congress to cut the roads
a’d for next year to $50,000,000. which is one-thUd
less than for this year. That would mean a loss
Georgia roads of $666,666 next year, probably
"that much more next year, and nothing all years
thereafter. And the likelihood of that condition is,
not imaginary? it is the fixed aim of those Demo-
crats and Republicans who are following the lead-
ership of Ritchie and the President. Tbs prospect
of losing all Federal aid for road building in Georgia
should be jubilantly looked upon by nil of our citi-
zens Who are opposedto bonding <the state for road
purposes. It fits In perfectly with the pay-as-you-go
program. The people will continue to pay over
$10,000,000 cf federal taxes each yriar and cheerfully
give up the drawback of $2,000,000 for roads that
they now get; all to please the peanut. cluese-par-
ing, du!*t-throwiug politicians who adorn the tall |
cad of the procession of progress.
Our federal aid for roads ia in real jeopardy.
Should It eventually be ditiied all the more reason
is put behind the bonding proposition. The agita-
tion for it. the education to win it. should be car-
ried to every crossroads and cabin from Dade to
Tybee, and lit us hope there Is enough public spirit
and liberality among progressive Georgians to do
that while it is yet due time.

Cleveland Plain Dealer - Again It is prove^ that
terican youth I whether "flaming'' or lambent or
never ignited at all) finds the bigness of talk and
the large melodramatic performance and deft fourti-
es of humor and pathos in Rostand's "Cyrano d«
Bergerac” most ideally to Ua liking. A^vole of this
year's Yale class in modern drama* under the emi-
nent Dr. Phelps discloses that “Cyrano" Is the fav-
orite and that there is really no second choice.
Of 12m members of the class, no less than 165 voted
for "Cyrano." One other play received seven votes,
another "received three votes, and there were a few
scattering twos aud ones. j j
Most of the plays studied are extremely modern.
Ibsen. Strindberg. Guitry. d’Annunzio. Hauptmann.
Maeterlinck. Shaw. Chekov, Gorky. Schnitxler, of-
fer dramatic fodder fit only for
Rostand, on the qtlf'r hand, tells
old way. There are ho modernistic tendencies in
‘Cyrano.” Except for the fact that romantic drama
was not (tern in France till the beginning of

ECONOMIZE IN PARKING SPACE
. * ^ ^ j
^ARKING apace In the downtown section o:
• Brownwood and in most other thriving com-
taunities is scarce. Those who are well acquainted
with tbe city can usually find a place to park some-
where near where they desire to stop their cars,
but a stranger, or a farmer who visits the city-w
casionally. is at a loss to solve the prdblem of
f)i$iiag a place to park a flivver while shoppiu*
or attending to other business. * y
* .Statistic* show—the.statistics are home-made but
reliable—that a vast majority of the cars parked
in the downtown streets each day belong to city
dweller^ who ride to . town from their homes and
blithely exempt the best parking places on the
theory that the yearly riser gets first choice. Others
who come to town to shoa must hunt for parking
spaces. The suggestion ha., Ixen made by a member
of the Police Department, and is passed on with
endorsement, thgt those who can avoid bringing their
cars to the downtown section, to occupy precious
parking space All day. should do so in order that
strangers and others may have a chance. If the
enr must be brought to town, it should be parked
i* aide strfets if it is to be left there for a long
time;
l" The only other renjedy for the present situation
the application of a time limit to parking privi-
leges on business streets, and all of us want to
avoid that if possible.

A hew Inquiry that probably has merit has been
ordered by the House Judiciary Committee at Wash-
ington. Representative Blanton charges that Com-
sMasioner Frederick A. Penning of the District ok
Columbia has deliberately imposed upon and de-
frauded a large number-of insane war veterans who
are wards of the government under his care, and
the charges are to be investigated. The chances are
that Mr. Blanton has some proof to offer in substan-
tiation of bis charges.
