that enemy is the corrupt politician. He must be driven out of the office which he holds, not only by virtue of his own merit, but because of the apathy of his opponents.
 The present outlook would be discour- aging, and the future more so were 1t not that somewhat similar conditions ex- isted in Athens when Demosthenes aroused his countrymen to a sense of the calamities which would follow the arrival Of Philip If we found our selves" said he, ''in our present miser- able condition in spite of all our efforts to prevent it then Indeed our case would be hopeless, but when we remember 1t IS because of our own apathy and our own failure to discharge our public duties that we have allowed these things to happen l feel assured that If we rouse ourselves there Is yet time to secure our defense" If the people of America will cease to be indifferent about elections and candidates; if they will shake off the apathy so generally existent there will be little occasion for complaint of misgovernment or political rottenness.

 JUVENILE CASES

Atlanta, November 18.-(Supecial.) .)-At- lanta has finally completed arrangements for the detention of Juvenile offenders separate and apart from the criminals and nnar criminals who are held at the police station, and after Monday.

 Witness added that he made weekly reports to places in which handbookS were in operation and that the list was sent to Chief New eeney and Inspector Hunt but none of the places were closed up to September l. t'
 Brotasxy referred to Police Inspector John Wheeler as being responsible for the protection of gambling in Chinatown. He mentioned one Chinese gambling house where 160 tables were operated. He said the gamblers paid the police sS per day protection for each table. Brotasky said he had been informed that Michigan avenue resort which was open until last night had been paying s500 a month to the police for protection.
 The money was collected by woman he said. The witness said that Mont Ten- his had monopoly of furnishing hand book operators with racing news.
 Brotasky referred to collections made from West Side resorts by Mike Depike Heitler, and said to be for Chief of Po- lice McWeeney." Witness said he had been told of s250 being collected from this source supposedly for Chief Me- Weeney.
 Did Heitler take it to McWeeney's of- flce?" asked Attorney Wheelock.

RELIGIOUS CENSUS
 IN FEDERAL PRISON
Warden Movers Report Shows Re- ligious Preferences of the
 Various Inmates

Atlanta, November 1S-(Special.)-Tae fact that Baptists predominate among the inmates of the federal prison near At anta may be interesting without neces- sarily demonstrating anything. But 1t is a fact. according to the official prison records summarized in the report Of War den Mover just published.
 Out of 1920 prisoners dealt with during the current year, each of whom was asked es to his religious belief or preference, 352 stated they were Baptlsts. Next in order came the Catholics, with 235, and then the Methodists with PA. There were 2G4 who had no religious preference at all while the remainder were apportioned anong the various religions know in this country, about everyone of them being represented. Christian Science. for in stance. has two advocates there; IS are | P:esby yterlans, 50 are Episcopalians, A | are Jews, Lutherans, Quakers, Unitarians. Mormons Moravians and Greek Orthodox | are all represented.
 | Religious services are held regularly In
 tho prison chapel, but they are of non- denominational character. Just as every religion Is represented among the inmates
 so Is practically every profession and ous- l mess calling within It's walls. Farmers.
 laborers. mechanics, bankers, merchants
 lawyers, doctors and even newspaper men and preachers are there squaring them. selves with justice and the law.
 | A prisoner who enters the federal pen
 is soon forgotten outside. Warden Moy- ere policy of refusing to give informa-
 ton to anyone regarding individual pris-
 cners is having its effect. and now lhe-e
 is scarcely a prisoner in the institution
 outside of Charles W. Morse whose in- | generation there is known or recalled by the general public.
