URGE VOTERS To
END J.P. COURTS
Members of Bar Association
Appeal for Adjustment of
Minor Tribunals.

The Atlanta bar today issued an ap-
peal to the voters of Georgia. urging
reasons why the amendment to abolish
the present justice courts system in
large cities should be ratified at the
polls tomorrow. Here 1t is:
The most important measure before
the voters of Georgia tomorrow is the
ratification of the justice court amend
ment. The candidates for state Offices
have been determined. Their election
is mere foTmality. But the system Of
courts for the larger cities to be de-
cided upon tomorrow will be that I'M
DIRE which the people of those cities will
be governed for the next decade.
IF the voters are Indifferent. or re
they are satisfied with present condt-
tons, and if they fail by their votes to
ratify the constitutional amendment
giving the legislature the right to es-
| tabltsh other courts in lieu of Justice
courts in the large cities then the peo-
pie for the next ten years may count
upon continuation of the gross abuses
which have been condemned by almost
every element OF our civic body.
Would End Many Evils,
| But il, as we believe, the people are
dfssatisf with the present system
and if they register that dissatisfac-
ton at the polls by a ratification Of
this amendment. then we can count
upon the establishment by the legisIa-
ture of a system of municipal courts
IN such of the large cities as desire the
same, particularly In Atlanta, that will
wipe out most of the evils. put the
| judges and constable on a salary ba.-
sis. guarantee speedier trials and the
administration OF Justice to al1-that
justice which Is now denied to rich
and poor alike under the present sys-
tenn of eXtortion and corruption
Therefore, we ask you to go to the
polls and vote for the ratification Of
this amendment. Let us take a step
forward and wipe out rather than per
petuate an iniquitous system The
smaller towns are with US because thew
are neither afflicted by the disease nor
affected by our remedy. Remember
that this amendment is Endorsed by the
Georgia Federation of Labor, Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, grand turies
of Fulton county, the Atlanta bar the
Atlanta press and the public generally"

Athletic Feat.

When the army of the allied powers
battered its way from Tien Tsin during
the Boxer rebellion just in time to re-
iieve the beleaguered legations in Pc
kin it was the walls of the enemy and
not their bullets that proved most trou-
blesome.
And the careful training OF the troops
Of the American contingent on this lit
tie art Of warfare known as wall seal
ing" gave the American soldiers the
first call
As they will tell you at Fort Nc
Pherson, where a squad Of eight men
from Company f recently lowered what
is claimed to be the army record for
scaling, this job Of eight men getting
over ten or twelve foot wall in about
the same time that il takes one man to
run 220 yards is more than a mere
military tactic. 1t is an athletic feat,
timed and oiled to go like clockwork.
