CAN'T DRESS ON S1,OOO9
NOW HERE WE co!
Say Mrs. Wilson Cannot Possibly Econ.
OmiZe SO Much.

Atlanta, Feb 27.-Atlanta society
women take issue with the social lead.
ers of Washington who say that Mrs
Woodrow Wilson cannot possibly dress
on $1,000 a year as wife of the presi-
dent.
A Georgia bred woman, they say
can look like queen on 81 900 a year
by exercising the ingenuity and econ
omy that the women or nearly all the
best Georgia families learned in the
period of financial depression that
followed the civil war.
There are Atlanta women who dress
beautifully and deliberately on $1,000 a
year, and that amount permits them to
have, they say, by exercising economy
in details, three or four more or less
elaborate evening gowns, costing from
$50 to 500 a piece.
"A Georgia woman, even as the wife
of the president of the United States.
can dress in good taste on $1,000 a
year, if she is the type of woman Mrs.
Wilson is" said an Atlanta lady to-
day who knew the wife of the presi.
dent-elect as a girl
Those society leaders in Washing
ton do not make allowance for he
fact that Mrs. Wilson is a woma !
whose ready hand and artistic eye can
help her over difficulties that would
be unsurmountable to a woman of q
different type. They forget, too, that
he was once preachers daughter"

\ = 4 = \ \ + 4 4 4 4


"Commercialized vice" is an intol-
cradle, preventable menace to the
public; and when the truth takes full
hold of the American mind extinction
of it will be inevitable.
AS to the general peril, we have no
intention here to harrow the feelings
of our readers. We shall simply give
paragraph more from Miss Adams
work:
Experiments in segregation, in licen
ed systems and certification have nol
been considered successful The med
ical profession, hitherto divided in OPP
inion as to the feasibility of such un-
dertakings, is virtually united in the
conclusion that so long as CONNER
cialified vice exists physicians cannot
guarantee a city against the spread o.
the contagious poison generated by ii
which is fatal alike to the individual
and his offspring.
"The medical profession agrees thai
as the victims of the social evil newt.
ably become the purveyors of germ
diseases of very persistent and incur
able type, safety in this regard lies
only in the extinction of commercial.
lied vice. 1t is at last taking the po-
sition that the community wishing t.
protect itself against this contagior
will nthe end be driven to the exter
mination of the very source itself"
Economic waste and the dictates 81
decency and humanity have not been
sufficient to cause a general demand
for the stamping out of this mons.
trous evil. Civic indifference has toll.
Grated it, depravity has fattened upoH
it and official ignorance, made worst
by prurient curiosity, has committed
such disgracefuly follies as treating il
with regulations as to music, closing
hours and the length of the garments
to be worn by the victims.
Now society is being awakened by
an alarmed sense of self-preservation
and when that is thoroughly aroused
nothing, short of extension will satisfy
the demand This evil will in time be
virtually obliterated. And the work
VIII be done just as soon as public
opinion reaches decision that it is t.
be done-Philadelphia North Ameri-

AS TO BLIND TIGERS

Gratifying to every loyal and law
abiding citizen of Americas and Sum
ter county must be the action recently
taken here in the enforcement of the
law against blind tigers. 1t has been
manifest that there is need in Ameri-
Gus and Sumter county of the enforce
ment of this law. The recent vigil
ence of both city and county author
tiles in this particular is to be COM
mended.
After repeated prosecutions had been
directed against him by the city au-
thorities for violation of the prohib-
ition law, resulting in his moving out
side the city limits, H. D. Frazier has
at last been prosecuted by the author
tiles of the county at the instance of
certain residents in that section of the
county, just outside the city, where he
resides The action of the authorities
of the Superior court was requested
by certain residents of the county
against Frazier on the ground that
his place of business is a public
nuisance.
Never was the truth of the saying
that eternal vigilance is the price oil
liberty more applicable than in thu
case of blind tigers in city and coun,
ty. Enforcement of the prohibition
law can be accomplished in no other
manner, it would seem. 1t is only by
the eternal vigilance of those upon
whom the enforcement of the law de-
wolves that violations of the law can
be corrected This is true not only OF
the prohibition law but of every Law
upon the statutes.
Defiance of the prohibition law OF
any other law is likely to be bred
when a violator of the law sees thai
he may tresspass and not be punished
for it. Enforcement of the law is as
absolutely necessary as is the creation
CT law Respect for the law is ac-
complished only through its just and
impartial fglfillment. In no other
manner can Americas and Sumter
county be rid of the nuisance whic1
by their very claims certain citizens
of the city and county have declared
to have existed for some time.
If the police will continue vigilant
it may be that they can find blind IT,
gers within the city limits. There is
nothing that will aid the enforcement;
of the law so much as the vigilance OF
the authorities.
