$4,000 ARE LOST EVERY YEAR
Hundreds Are Located, But Many
Mover Return Home.
ATLANTA J%ournal.)

The recent disappearance Of Noise
DeLeon, the Atlanta contractor, calls
to mind a government report that
shows that about $4,000 people dis
appear every year in the United
States just as effectively as Mr., De-
Leon has done.
Of this number many return after
periods ranging from a few DAYS to
many years, but In many cases it re-
mains a ceaseless search and ever
bathing mystery.
But OF those who never return
TO whom they confide the tragedy of
their lives, whether they meet with
sudden death, or perhaps robbed of
their memories, oam the country as
a new personality, will always re-
main unknown in hundreds of CASES.
In 1911, out Of the $500 reported
missing in New York, 1900 were
never located, and in smaller cities
the proportion Is almost as big. The
continual lure of the footlights" Is
given AS n Of the biggest causes fol
premeditated departures of young
girls from home circles, but hun,
dreds drop out Of sight from as many
causes. The big cities and the vast
Northwest are every year swallowing
up thousands.
Next to, and sometimes ahead OF
the police, the public press is the
most effective medium of locating
missing nes Almost every week in.
Quiries or lost ones come into The
Journal office, and in many cases pub.
Lefty reunites the home. But many
through the fear of publicity, largely
are eve found.
The disappearance of Noise De,
Leon is still a mystery, although
many Of his friends contend that he
has merely buried himself in the
hills or a vacation. But mysteries
like that Of Dorothy Arnold and SINH.
lar cases continue to battle.

FOUND HER MOTHER DEAD.
locked Herself In Bathroom and
Turned on Deadly Fumes.
ATLANTA Constitution, 6th.)

When 1~6-year-old Minnie caves
returned from her work to her home,
1888 East Georgia avenue, late
Thursday afternoon, she found her
mother, Mrs. Katie Eaves, locked in
the house, and a suicide from gas
asphyXiation.
Mrs. Eaves was As years old, and
had a husband. No cause could be
assigned for her act at a late hour
last night.
When Miss caves reached her
home, about dusk, she was surprised
to find the front door locked and the
house apparently deserted. After
Knocking vainly, she tried the back
door, but without avail. Finally she
was able to gain entrance to the
house through q back window. No
sooner had she entered than she was
aware Of the presence of gas fumes
In the house, and began searching
for the source.
She finally ascertained that the gas
was issuing from the bathroom, the
door Of which she found to be lock-
ed. While she was trying to open
the door, by some strange Fremont
ton the terrible truth began to dawn
upon the lone girl. But her frantic
calls for her mother rang through
the empty house unanswered, and
h beat upon the bathroom door in
vain.
When at last the door was opened
her mother was found sitting up
right in a chair, and had already
been dead for some hours.

and the father was too i'll to move.
They were carried to the farm house,
where they are in a serious condition.
The father had been in good cir

when his wife died. Later he be-

Too proud to seek charity the father
took his little ones to the fields,
where at night they slept undo trees.
During the day the father hunted for

and his offspring we're about ready
to die when their condition was dis

She was found lying unconscious
upon a bed by occupants OF the resi-

Hospital, but had not gained con-
seriousness at a late hour last night.
Physicians at the hospital believe
she Will recover. The cause Of her

tude Of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
g. B.. Brogdon, who opposed her
marriage.
At the age Of 16 Mrs. Watson was
married to Max Miller. They we're

Mrs. Brogdon carried her to Texas

WHERE DEMOCRACY STANDS.
Comparison of Parties and Men, and
What They Represent.
tBy Senator e. ID. Smith,

New York, Sept. 9.-Special: The
line Of cleavage between Democracy
and Republicanism has been, and is
now, the question OF the tariff.
There seems to be some question
as to why the country has prospered
under the protective system. 1t must
not De forgotten that, in the incip-
iency OF the protective policy, there
WaS NOT that vast accumulation OF
.apit@l nat now cha]racterizes it. For
mo or ihree decades it was in the
process ot development and accumu-
!"tion and organization. It's ulti-
mate baneful effect could not be felt
until the sinister purpose that under
lay all protective legislation reached
its full fruition. During its progress
OF development it was subject to
more or less domestic competition, as
well as foreign. Gradually the wall
Of protection was raised; different
articles were brought within its in
f1uence, until at last the Mckinley,
Dingley and Payne-Aldrich bills
reached the high water mark. In
every department of manufacturing
enterprise its influence was felt; in
spite Of improved machinery, in
spite of the modern scientific appli-
ances, protection still scared. Vast
individual wealth was accumulated:
vast corporate wealth, until the
cloud Of 1929, no bigger than a
mans hand, spread and spread un-
til, in 1909, it obscured the whole
commercial and financial horizon,
shutting out practically every real
hope Of the wage-earner.
So long az protection affected
clothing and shoes, household fur
n%ishings, building material, construc-
ton material, the American people
somehow did not realize the cause of
the high prices, the enrichment Of a
few and the impoverishment of the
masses. But when the greed and
avarice of the protectionist, through
dc storage, the organization Of the
meat trust, the organization of the
trust on foodstuffs, emptied the "din-
ner pail" adding to the burden of
the price of clothing the burden Of
satisfying the appetite, America rose
in revolt, and in 1910, with the first
opportunity after the passage Of the
Payne-Aidrich bill, registered their
protest against this iniquity by elect
ing a Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives, and, as far as opportu-
