A PERTINENT QUESTION,
Editor The Georgian:

Editor The Georgian:
Reading your account of the sor-
did tragedy in which one of At
lanta's policemen met his death at
the hands of his drink -crazed COM
rade, | am particularly impressed
with one feature of the case, in
which | think the municipal honor
of Atlanta is at stake.
Your issue of the 21st inst. states
that the author of this shocking
murder, one of our city's guardians,
had been drinking heavily during
his vacation. and was intoxicated
at the time of the shooting. OBJ
viOusly, the man has been a habit
ual user of intoxicants for several
years. Drunken murderers are not
developed during the debauch of a
ten days vacation. Yet you also
tell us that this man has been, con-
tinuously. a member of the police
force for the past eight years.
In the light of these facts, At
lanta, who highly prizes her good
name, may with propriety ask of
the police board and the chief of
police this very pertinent question:
Why are men, known to be not only
habitual users of intoxicants, but
frequent victims Of their excessive
use, retained on the police force? Is
a place among Atlanta's "preservers
of the peace of so little honor and
significance that men who have
the progressive paralysis of whisky
in their brains and the fruitful
seeds of murder in their hearts are
to be made welcome there? We
wait for your answer. gentlemen.
And while you formulate it may we
suggest that a thorough house
cleaning in the home of Atlanta's
boosted finest" might not be
amiss.
Our sincerest pity. as well as
our Mortified condemnation. must
extend to the unhappy perpetrator
of this awful deed. Our heart
felt sympathy goes out to the rela-
tives and friends of his victim
But for those responsible for the
personnel of our police force we ex-
press our indignant censure that

But This Wasn't All.

This increase of the original cent
was not all that he had He had
learned a good many things. He
had seen radishes, beans and kale
grow but he had also seen the
smallest coin OF his own realm in
crease four hundred and fifty times
right before his own eyes.
In the next four years, by follow
ing the same process in his spare
time, the Four Dollars and Fifty
Gents increased to over Two Hun
dred Dollars. With this money he
bought a piece of land and went
into the small gardening business
called truck farming.
His experience. up to date. began
with a one-Cent piece, and it has
brought him to the point of owning
a piece of land There is no rea-
son to suppose he will stop where
he is. On analyzing a case of this
kind we always find that the thing
the person is interested in is not
the increase of money alone, but
PROGRESS.

by doing things systematically one
can build a fortune and have a
good time doing it.
Success in fortune building, as in
everything else, consists in sticking
to business and taking ten times
more trouble than seems necessary.

~ ONE years ago, at party for
boys and girls, the hostess pre-
scented each guest with a new
cent. She requested each one to
report the following year, when the
party met again, on the use of the
cent.
Only one had report to make
the next year. This was a boy.
He had bought a package of rad
ish seeds. He planted the seeds in
the back yard at home. and by the
end of June he sold his crop for
Eighty Cents.
Next he asked permission to use
a vacant lot, where he invested his
Eighty Cents in planting late beans
and kale. When this crop was
gathered and sold the boy had a

The room was crowded with
handsomely dressed women and
their escorts, drawn by the stor-
les of horror that already had
been told in that room.
John Knebel, of Philadelphia,
was on the stand. Knebel went
to Lawrence to take a number of
children from the strike-ridden
city to comfortable homes in
Philadelphia.
Knebel had told how he led the
women and childre nto the Law
renee station. He had told how
when they arrived there, they
were stopped by the soldiers, and
how the clubbing and mauling of
women and little, helpless chill
Eren had gone on.
Some of the women in the
room were sobbing. Mrs. Taft's
face was white and strained.
\ "And I saw other things, too
horrible to MENTION" said Kne-
bel. .
What were these things
asked Representative Hardwick,
Of the committee. %
Knebel was silent for a mo-
ment. Then he looked directly
at Mrs. Taft.

man draw his club and strike

Toice.

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
WHOSE GIRL 1T is, INDEED

Some years ago, in a Wisconsin city,
there lived a certain rich man. father
OF an only and beautiful daughter.
During one of the Christmas seal cam
paigns he was approached for con
tribution by one of the workers. His
refusal was needlessly curt and cut
sharply into the spirit of the pretty
young campaigner. For, after all. the
work meant nothing to her but an op-
portunity to show her interest.
Within the year, the grim White De.

and seized her to it's bosom. The man
fought back, as men will fight for
the things dear to them, but the fight
was an unequal one. Like the flower
she typified, the daughter drooped and
Withered before the Soaring enemy,
and with swift and merciless cruelty
the scythe of death swept her to The
harvest of eternity.
1t was then hard upon a new seal
campaign and in the source of events
another worker approached this GER
tain rich man. Crushed and humbled
by the burden of his sorrow, he reach

Now, this mans check a year before
wouldn't, of itself, have wiped out the

written in the wealth of a Rockefel-
Ter. Nor, perhaps, would it have saved
his daughter-though who can say as
to that? Who can say what lives have
been saved because a group. of two
listed fighters have gone forth and
forced sanatoria onto a complacent
people, and put visiting nurses at work
cleaning up the pools of disease? Per-
haps you are one of these, who, going
your careless way, have been saved

who didn't even know you, was
