of the United States mint at San

BACK
Declares Chief Is Secure, and
IntimateS War on Certain
Near-Beer Saloons.

Marion NJ Jackson, author Of the
famous Men and Religion Forward
Movement bulletins, in an interview
Saturday, declared there was not the
slightest chance to recall Police Chief
James l.. Beavers because Of the
adoption Of the initiative, referendum
and recall amendment to the city
charter
Mr.. Jackson welcomed the adoption
Of the amendment on the idea that
it has made Chief Beavers security
doubly sure What is more signiti-
cant, he says, is that the moral forces
would enroll TO recall the man who
tried to knife Chief Beavers" and he
intimates that the Men and Religion
Forward Movement may invoke the
initiative and referendum to recall
certain "near-b beer" saloon permits
and to forward the cause of reform
generally

Mr.. Jackson's Statement.
His statement follows:
You would not sign a petition
to establish a house of i'll fame.
For your children. you would
refuse that marked disgrace.
And all but a pitiable, blinded
few in Atlanta would do like
wise.
Not 500 men in this city would
petition to deliver ito turn
their homes over to the tender
mercies of those who believe that
men have the right to live by
buying and selling women, that
commerce which can exist only by
the seduction of girls.
But there are thousands who
would be glad to enroll to recall
the man who tried to knife Chief
Beavers for holding his oath of
office and his honor superior to
the wishes of those who have
gotten rich or who desire to get
rich by virtue Of the white slave
trade and the liquor traffic and
their friends.
And they would not stop with
signing the petition.
They would vote.
They would so effeCtually retire
the man who tried to dishonor his
home in this way that he would
go down in history as the be
sotted one who thought honor
dead and Christianity a farce in
Georgia.
Recall Was No Accident.
The adoption of the recall, the
referendum and initiative was no
accident
Only another evidence that God
rules in Atlanta.
one man said one thing An
other another.
None claimed or urged this
greatest of weapons yet devised
for clean and honest government.
But when the votes were count
ed. in some way somehow, those
who believe in deCenCy and hap
piness for all and oppose inde-
CenCy and license for the few at
the cost of misery for the many
found themselves armed with the
same measure that cleaned up
Seattle
They had the red light district
in Seattle.
Mayor Gill believed l. it and
fostered it.
Three years ago the recall end
ed the disgrace. They retired
Mayor Gill. The pimps and pan
derers had to leave. No one has
petitioned to bring the criminals
back.
1t is significant that the right
of recall is given us just one year
after Chief Beavers closed our
white slave market. God be
thankful for this anniversary gift.
II was the one thing needed
The Chief is safe.
Fight Is Just Begun.
But the fight for clean living
and right thinking has only be
gun. And here consider not only
the recall but the initiative,
Ordinances can be prepared by
the people.
And there are many thousands
who will count it an honor to
sign a petition TO institute legis-
lation that will make it impossi-
BILE to maintain a barroom on the
street that leads to the Young
Mems Christian Association and
the Baptist Tabernacle.
