W|FE'S CHARGES
UNTRUE, SAYS
CAPT. WEST
Says He Twice Saved Her Life
and ChiId'S-DeCIareS He
Was on Water Wagon.

This is a strange anniversary, your
honor. Just a year ago today. while
lay under arrest awaiting courtmar-
tial in the Mare Island navy yard, my
wife took the boy and came to Atlanta.
Today we meet again in this court room
and seem no nearer a solution Of the
child's custody than we We're a year
ago came East with hopes Of OBJ
tanning a reconciliation and I have no
intention Of taking the boy away from
his mother, but I think I should have
the right to see him"
Captain Ernest z. West, L. S. NJ. c.,
Familiarity known as "Pikie" West, q
former teacher in an Atlanta school,
who yesterday sought by writ Of ha-
beas corpus to secure possession of
Ernest Reid West, his seven-year-old
son, and was in turn arrested on a
peace warrant sworn out by his father
in-law. John II. Jones, spoke thus
mournfully to Superior Judge w. D.
Ellis today.
Captain West, as member Of the
Georgia bar, practically conducted his
own case. Hamilton Douglas, his at
torney, pleaded that he was not IA
miiiar with the answer filed today by
Mrs. West. Mr. Douglas asked for a
postponement Of the trial after consid-
cradle Of the evidence had been heard,
and Judge Ellis reset the hearing FOR
January 81 allowing Captain West to
visit the child on an arrangement
agreed upon by the attorneys.
In her answer to Vests allegations
as set forth in his writ Mrs. West said
She left her husband at Mare Island
navy yard only after he had been sent
to the hospital for alcoholism. She told
the court that his treatment Of he.
proved SO cruel that she was forced to
appeal TO his commanding officer for
protection.
AS q result OF his actions, she said,
West was tried for INSTRUMENTATION and
drunkenness by courtmartial and re-
duced twenty numbers.
q want to tell my wife that I haven I
touched drop Of liquor for seven
months, and / deny that I was ever a
victim OF alcoholism" interposed West
The courtmartial resulted from a mis-
understanding over a telephone mes
sage"
In his plea to convince the court that
he was a fit person to have the custody
Of the child, or at least to see 1t, Cap
tain West said:
During my career as a school teach
er, your honor, it was part Of my bust
ness to make a study OF child nature.
Twice l have saved the life of this boy
and twice I have saved my wife's life.
I had hope this time that I could effect
| a reconciliation and my reason for
coming East at this time was to do So
Mrs. West asserted that her husband
had attempted to kidnap the boy this
summer while she was on a visit to her
sister in Birmingham.

strange has happened. The unbeliev-
able has come to pass At last doctors

For are not an artist and a poet doe
tors-that is, authorities-in beauty?
Two of these have agreed as to what
constitutes beauty In women. Harrison
Fisher, portrayer of thousands of beau
tiful women, asserted two weeks ago
that beauty is in expression. And now
Arthur Stringer, the poet, himself an
example OF beauty of the sturdy mas
culine type, says that Nj Fisher is
right.
we agree as to the truth, and are
merely clothing the truth in slightly
different language" said the poet.
Beauty is of two kinds. and to my
mind only one kind Is worth considera-
ton The two kinds are pictorial and
latent.
Pictorial Beauty.
The pictorial beauty is one who is q
moving living picture. Her good looks
challenge one as does huge poster on

capes sight of IT, and no one denies it,.

Save The State

Every county, every town and
every village has some self-im-
portant individual who believes
himself to be second George
Washington, destined to be the
saviour of his country although,
as a rule, said Jr. G.. w. has
been somewhat of a failure at
everything else. Worcester
County has them. Of course
they are modest men, who never
herald their supposed greatness:
who never try to impress upon
the public their fitness TO be the
leader of men-who spurn any
inquiry into their moral recit-
itude; who think they can fool
the people into believing the
world is made of green cheese;
who pirate about 1.-THE good of
the people" who talk glibly
about rings; and who endeavor
to form one of their own for the
selfish purpose of getting an
Office for themselves. The way
such people will save the State
and stand for the defence of the
"people" is to move heaven and
earth to get a job for them
selves. That's their whole OBJ
ject.

Quiet on the Tariff

Had it been predicted even a
year ago, when the great par
ties were manoeuvring for posi-
ton in the National campaign,
that tariff reduction could be
discussed all Winter with as
little public excitement as has
actually been aroused, the pro-
phet would have been generally
derided. Since the opening of
the session of Congress hearings
have been held continuously.
Not many have attracted atten-
ton. The newspapers, even
those most earnest in their
views on one side or the other,
have neglected them and the
readers have not complained.
The hearings have closed and
Mr. Underwood and his associ-
ates announced that they will
have the requisite bills ready
by the middle of March for
introduction at the extraordi-
nary session. And the country
which has seen tariff reduction
defeated over and again for
thirty years, for fear of'distur-
bance of business" awaits the
action of Congress with calm
and with something like in
difference. The fact is that
the restless debate of all these
years, though the debate has
seemed futile, has taught the
people as a whole that there is
really no danger of serious dis
turbance from any probable
reduction of the tariff. 1t has
taught them that the enterprises
most protected from foreign
competition need not and do not
fear competition, and are fully
able to meet it in foreign mar
kets, with all the conditions
against them. The people have
seen also that many of these
enterprises have steadily tended
toward monopoly and have out
rageously abused the privileges
accorded to them.
Especially change has taken
place in the views of manufac.
turers. They have come to see
that their own resources and
capabilities have far out-grown
the narrow and hampering re-
strictions of the tariff, and that
in fair field with no favor they
can command not only the
home markets but their share of
the markets of the world.
Those who see this are, natur-
ally, the most vigorous and
advanced. They are those who
see that efficiency, not pam
pering, is the source of success,
and in the long run they will
shape the business of the nation.
