MAYORALTY LOST THROUGH
CORN AND ROCK"

Aayoralty-nominee Woodward, Of
Atlanta, explains away his recent
drunk on the score Of i'll health. He
was suffering from a bronchial trou-
bic he says. The doctor prescribed
the good old remedy of corn whis-
key, well aged in the barrel, with a
minimum adulteration of rock candy
He does not state how frequently the
medicine was to be taken, but it was
doubtless in tabIespoonfuls once
every hour. Not being accustomed to
rock and corn, which differs material
". experts say, from rock and rye.
the ex-mayor and mayor-to-be, fell By
the wayside
The charge is made that the nomi-
nee did not content himself with get
ting his bronchial troubles relieved
in this fashion, but created a scene in
a disorderIy house. The mayoralty
nominee glides over this portion Of
the charges like a professional roller
skater over a polished maple floor
He is evidently sorry but not repent
ant, and defantiy asserts that other
citizens Of Atlanta, even including
some mayors whom he does not
now name suffered moral lapses"
which have moi been heralded to the
world
There may be, doubtless is, con-
siderable politics behind the attacks
on Woodward. Yet the time has
come when decency in public men IS
insisted upon The day when men IN
high Office could frequent places Of
bad character, drunk or sober. has
passed away, never. We hope, to re-
turn. Woodward's Iapses have been
frequent in the past, he has several
times brought humiliation upon the
city that had honored him, whether
it honored itself or not, by elevating
him to the mayoralty. and it does look
as though public patience by this
time would be exhausted
As private citizen Woodward can
relieve his bronchial troubles at any
time with his corn and rock candy
prescription, and take the conse-
quences OF his fndiscretions like any
other man But when he becomes
mayor Of the great city Of Atlanta
his position is materially changed.
We doubt if the people of that town
viii permit themselves to be further
Inundated in such a fashion. We can
all feel sorry for Woodward, but that
sentiment should not relieve him
from the punishment that his recent
lapse from the path Of public pro-
priety entails The outlook is that
Woodward will lose the mayoralty as
the penalty for his recent indiscre-
tons
