THE COMMERCIAL swINDLERs.

Then there are the swindlers who make their
money by means of those commercial frauds
which are so cleverly devised and ingenious
as to render ii wellnigh impossible to obtain
conviction that will stand. They skate along the
border line of crime frequently dipping over the
edge. but vet never in such fashion as to ad
nit of their being brought to Justice They are
the pirates of finance and of trade. against
whose plots and conspiracies the police must
forever be on the qui vive, for We look to the
police not merely to bring criminals 10 justice.
but also to prevent the perpetration of crime.
Now In order to do this with any degree of effi-
otency the guardians OF the law, the district at
torneys and the police must be equipped with
every vestige of information that they can
secure concerning these marauders.
There are also the card sharps. Here, again. 1T
is welinigh an impossiDilty to obtain a convic-
tion for the reason that the men who have been
foolish enough to play with professional gam
blers and with strangers prefer to pocket their
losses in silence rather than to 'squeal." The
victim who invokes the aid of the police and
who seeks redress in the courts in such matters
as these feels not only that he has written him
self down as a fool. but likewise that he has
adopted an unsportsmanlike method of evading
obligations which may may not have been
contracted through fraud These card sharp
men require watching. and although there has
been a great deal of fuss in New York lately In

Alfred Monson, scion of that we'll known Court

Edinburgh for the cowardly murder of his ward
and pupil, Cecil Hambrough-a trial which re-
suited. not IN acquittal, but in verdict of
mot proven"-the police predicted that before
many years were past he would once more land
in Jail. The verdict Of mot proven meant that
the jury morally convinced of his guilt Of
the murder but did not consider that they had
legal evidence enough 10 warrant their consign-
ing him To the scanold. Four years later Alfred
Monson was sentenced at the Old Bailey in
London. to long term of penal servtude for
forgery and fraud. The success of the police in
bringing him to justice this occasion was
due to the fact that ever since his trial for mur-
der at Edinburgh he had been subjected to their
surveillance. and that they had retained in their
possession MS photographs, his measurements
and all sorts of useful information concerning
his characteristics and habits

 "I presume every one is familiar with the fact that the state of Georgia some years ago leased the convicts. Now they are using them to put down roads. They have bought all necessary ma- ohinery and have a system that Is working we'll It will take some years to complete the system of good roads they have now mapped out, but when they are completed person can make a trip any time from one city to an other in motor car, almost as quick ly as he could by rail.

We observed a number of squads of convicts in the different sections, strengthening the roads, making them wider and putting them in excellent condition.
 At the rate the state of Georgia is going, they will have the best roads in the southern states in the next few years The property holders along tho highways that have already been put down, state that their farm lands have increased from 20 to 80 per cent on the dollar; that they are now in easy reach of the cities and that they can drive tn ere and back in much less than they could before, and can carry larger loads, while the injury to their stock is not so great"

 L. A. whitehead, who made the trip to Atlanta with the pathfnders via the Anniston route, had the fever so bad by the time he reached the Gate City that he proceeded to tour the state of Georgia. He returned to Birmingham last week, coming back via the Gadsden route. He kept a splendid record of both routes and suggests the Gadsden route, though stating that the Annis- ton one is the most direct and could be placed in good condition with a little ef- fort. Work on the Gadsden route is also badly needed, he states.
 He was very much struck with the system and large amount of road building in Georgia. He also took note of the fact that Atlanta and Fulton county had splendid oiled roads, which had not been thought of until an At lanta delegation had inspected an ex- pertinent of Street Commissioner John McCartin's in Birmingham, while Bir- mfngham and Jefferson county still has only this experimental strip.
 Tn discussing his trip beyond At lanta MT. Whitehead said
 We left Atlanta via Buckhead and found excellent roads, well macada- mixed and a machine could make 50 or 60 miles an hour for several miles. After leaving that road, we entered into new road which had recently been graded out by convicts. We found on the way to Macon a small country road being a 30-foot highway. This road is already graded half way to Macon, and they have taken out tn @ small roads, filled up the hollows and have made an excellent road bed.
 Not only in this section of the coun- try, but we found that they are build1 ing similar roads throughout the en- tire state. from city to city of any
