As it is, Atlanta has been advertised
to the world as a modern Sodom,
whereas there is probably not city of
its size that was better regulated be-
fore this discussion began.
Whatever may be said of the mis-
takes of Mr. Woodward am not his
apolOgist, and am not a member of his
committee-it is a fact that his cam
paign letters, so far as / have read, are
in striking contrast to those written by
his opponent. So it is not Mr.. Wood
ward or his committee that has Haunted
hurtful information about Atlanta to
the outside world. The responsibility
must rest upon them who have used
this questionable method of campaign
ing to encompass him in defeat
The effort to make it appear other
wise but impresses the Biblical quota
ton: Woe unto them that are wise in
their own eyes and prudent in their
own conceit.'
The Pharisaical bearing of some Of
them who are directing Mr.. Chambers
campaign, as exhibited in the unchar-
liable criticism of those voters who do
not see the question as they present it.
is suggestive of an inspired story:
Two men went up into the temple to
pray-the one a Pharisee and the other
publican.
THE Pharisee prayed thus with him
sell. dOu, tfduh Iue6 IHdl am not
as other men are, eXtortioners unjust
and adulterers, or even as this pub
lean
And the publican, standing afar off
would not so much as lift up his eyes
unto heaven. but smote upon his breast,
and said: God, be merciful to me,
sinner"
Christ adds: 81 tell you this man
the publican-went down to his house
justified. rather than the other"
In all kindness. | commend this beau
tifully natural story to the Incorporate
and uncharitable controversialist-an
this:
If you forgive not men their tres
passes, neither will your Father forgive
you"
The people may we'll view, with just
alarm, the tendency of some of our
ministers to use the church and the
pulpit in a way calculated to embitter
those whose violence should be held in
gentle restraint.
1t is an awful thought that good men
of the Gospel will allow themselves to
be so SWayed by politico religious zeal
as to have not even a word of charity
to utter in behalf OF a fellow man
scourged for no other reason than he
has exercised the constitutional right
of aspiring to public Office.
But the people are holding the scales.
fair play still wells in the breasts of
men, and the voters of Atlanta will to-
morrow put a bride on the Venomous
tongues and stay the pen of bitterness.

Ben BLACKBURN SAYS
STOP PAINTING ATLANTA
AS A MODERN SODOM
. Atlanta. Ga. Oct. IA. 1912.

Atlanta, Ga. Oct IA, 1912.
TO the Editor of The Georgian:
One could not have read with dis
eliminating eye the arguments to the
voter in behalf of the two candidates
for mayor in sundays papers without
pelns impressed with marked differ
ence in controversia tone.
The committee representing Mr..
Woodward presented its argument in a
way TO direct the attention of the voter
to his opponents reversal of position on
the sociological question, and to sim
pie discussion Of material needs.
The committee representing MI
Chambers presented its side of the
question in vain attempt to brow
beat the voter into timid acceptance. \
1t is probable that there has never
been campaign, waged for municipal
or other office. in the history of the
country, wherein SO many designs were
employed to becloud the thought, throt-
tie the expression and intimidate the
decision of the voter.
And this, / may add, in deliberate
conservatism, is responsible for the pos
tive manifestation of a sentiment of
rebuke which will elect Mr.. Woodward
on Tuesday.
The people of Atlanta will not have
notions of propriety beat into them by
harsh blows from men who have en-
dangered standards of delicacy by their
own broad references to social evils
which should have never fallen under
the eyes of innocence and purity
The occasional misStep Of weak hui
man nature is not near sol threatening
to that indefinable essence which is
drank in around the gentle fireside as
is the salacious stuff that comes
through the publicity agencies of So
Geological bureaus, used as stalking
horse for the qualification of political
ambition.
Mr.. Chambers was right in his first
answer to the gentlemen who are in
teresting themselves with mistaken zeal
in the work of correction, when he con-
tended that the suggested method of
regulation was wrong, and that he did
not propose ever to be party to such a
procedure
But he made mistake when later in
answer to insistent demands. he in

Gently denounced as fanatics"

course in this matter is not helped by
unnecessary display of personal bitter
ness
What the people wanted was a con-
test of education on lines of Atlanta s
material needs. All other questions
should have been reserved for deliber-
ate solution at the hands of the home
lover, at a time when personal political
ambitions were not involved in the set

ARE MANY ANIMALS
IN ALP MOUNTAINS
Early Season Producing
Young Fox, Deer and
HareS

Zurich, July 7.-(Special)-Thi season
in the Alps has been not only very early,
as In England, but also very favorable 10
the increase of wild Alpine animals. Not
for a long time have there been SO many
deer foxes and hares, and farmers and
foresters are constantly tumbling over
fox cubs and fawns.
The other day peddier appeared at
Zurich with a basket full OF baby foxes,
about as big as kittens. He did good
business with the bushy-tailed little
creatures, which, truth to tell, were ex-
ceedingiy pretty. They fetched from 40
cents to 81 each.
He might have been selling fox cubs
still had not the police unfortunately for
him, got wind of the kind of business he
was carrying on. They first endeavored
to find out who had bought the cubs and
then visited the purchasers depriving
them of their newly acquired pets.
Another animal which has also been full
fillings. the precepts to be fruitful and
multiply and replenish the earth this
spring is the deer and motherless fawns
are constantly found which the foresters
take home and contrive to bring up by
hand, often feeding them from baby s
bottle.
Chamois, too, have greatly increased.
chiefly owing to the rigorous way In which
they are now protected by the state, and
to the VARIOUS reserves in which no one
is allowed to modest them.

S22,5OO,0O0 FOR
PATENT MEDICINES
Medical Secretary's Report
Shows Enormous Growth
in Its Popularity

Rome, July 6.--tSpecial )-Onorato Roux.
nous growth in the popularity of patent
medicines was revealed in the evidence
the British Medical association. before
the select committee of the house of COM
MONS when he stated that it was es-
timated that no less a sum than So, 500, 900
was spent every year in Great Britain on
patent medicines. This amount, he de-
clared, was sufficient to maintain 10000
beds in the hospitals
But oS this amount, an authority ex-
planned, considerably over a million
pounds worth of patent medicines come
from America and Germany. There are
In the United Kingdom no fewer than 49,,
600 licensed vendors of patent medicines.
So great is the variety that one firm
alone manufactures lis different RENE
dies. which, judging by the advertise
ments, should promise a cure for almost
every i'll that flesh is heir to. 1t is as
founding the amount of faith that is
placed in well advertised patent medi-
cines.
Many of the proprietary medicines are
good, certainly, but there are others
which are placed before the public with
grossly exaggerated statements as to their
curative properties, which, indeed, as Dr.
Alfred Cox said, are a fraud on the pub
lie.
Ii will be interesting to see what re-
suit the insurance act will have upon the
sale of patent or proprietary medicines
1t will almost for a certainty have the
effect of diminishing their sale as In
stead of purchasing one or other of the
thousand remedies now on the market the
insured person will save the expense by
consulting his or her doctor. Another
sequel will be that the revenue will suffer
considerably by the loss of stamp duties.
The outcome of the proceedings of the
committee, over which Sir Henry Norman
Is presiding. is being watched with the
iiveliest concern, not only by the medical
faculty, but by all those connected in any
way with medicine. and the recommended
tions of the committee viii be awaited
with the keenest interest.
