If City Commission Doesn't Get

Unless the vice commission appoint

win take up the fight themselves, their
leaders say.
\ thorough investigation of condi-

by three prominent young Atlantans
under the direction of Joseph c. Logan
They discovered "a public houses in all
parts of the city They discovered

prosecute the owners in the courts I'M

places to train them in industrial arts

Owners Are All Known.

houses. about one half are shown as
members of prominent churches. The
ministers have declared that these men
must give up this business or resign
from the churches
The report shows that the women are

Question Grew and Grew.
d. Hanscom had asked himself the
question many times. He had often
wondered if the popular belief that
every public man was more or less cor
rupt was correct. Could a young man
go into politics and be successful with
Out adopting compromising political
eXpedients? Could man in public life
draw up code live up to it rigidly,
and keep his head above the political
waters?
The question in his own mind grew
to a discussion with members of his
congregation. 1t was finally agreed that
the question would be put to men in
public life, and a sermon be woven
about their answers. similar to another
sermon he had preached on The Young
Man in Business"
Many of the writer's use a plain
Yes in answer to the question. 9th
ers go further A letter characteristic
Of all was the one written by c. Muir
phey Gambler.
Good men can succeed in public
life, writes Mr.. Gambler The diff
Guilty with our government is not that
the good man can't succeed because of
his principles and life but that he de-
clnes to give the use of his life for
the good of society"
His letter reads as follows

But Listen to Taft:

1T is A dangerous thing to put
in the white house a man for
third term with his views of the
constitution and his views of him
self"
Did you ever think what an
awful thing it would be for this
country if the Lord were to reach
down His hand and lift up Mr.
Roosevelt to the realm of the
blessed and deprive US of his COM
pany?'
"Mr. Roosevelt does not under
stand what. the nature of our gov
eminent Is, because he does not
know what liberty, regulated by
law. is"
Theodore Roosevelt's hands are
not red with the blood of bosses.
"Mr. Roosevelt likens himself to
A braham Lincoln more and re-
sembles him less than any man in
the history of the country"
