Have Plenty OF Optimism
Money Easy,Says Atkinson.
Atlanta's Bank Claims
Endorsed.

Report of optimism among fin
anciers in the east is brought to
Atlanta by HIM. Atkinson, chair
man of the board of directors of
the Georgia Railway and Power
company, who returned Saturday
night from a stay of two weeks
in New York on business Of the
company.
Money is easier now than be-
fore in some time" said he Mon
day, 'and conditions governing
financial market are growing
better every day. The new
banking and currency law has
been accepted with very good
grace by the financial powers up
there, and the general opinion is
that it will work out well. It's
theory is recognized as sound,
with the qualification Of a very
natural difference among individ-
uals as to details; and all are
agreed seemingly that if it is adj
ministered wisely it will do much
/ good. They are quite hopeful
that the reserve board will show
wisdom in it's administration.
Il was struck very much by
the hopefulnezs of the feeling
generally in New York with re-
gard to the immediate future.
The bond market is confident.
The stock market exchange is
discounting tn improvement
which it's members foresee. +"
Mr.. Atkinson continued that
Atlanta's claims upon one Of the
new regional banks are discussed
and acknowledged in New York.
Several men high in finance
took it for granted. in CONVEX
sation, that one of the banks will
be located here.
81 heard a number of express
sions, too about the south's
future. One very well informed
man declared his belief that the
south faces the brightest future
among all sections Of the country.
The confidence in our future
down here was more general and
pronounced than l ever had
noticed it as being before"

What is home without u paper?
Well, it amt no home at all;
Just a sort of dreary s~tay-place
Where 1eas hop and bed-bugs

Where the inmates have no knowl-

Where they keep no sort of records,
And don't know their date of birth.

March II, 1914.
Comrade Pearson:
Up here in this part of the "Skeet-
err" State I'm sort of held response
BILE for The Fool Killer, and a month
or so ago some were worrying, not
about their money, but they were
very anxious about their paper.
They have all got it now and are
easy.
The purpose of this letter is that
I and my friends think-and think,
too, that we speak for the host of
other subscribers-that The Fool
Killer is our paper and that we
should have a word in shaping it's
policy. Therefore
We object to a certain class of adj
vertising matter-that of patent
Medicines" When you spoke one
time of taking advertising l wrote
you and referred you to the Ameri-
can Medical Association, advising
that 0 cur a copy of their
"Great American Fraud" This AND
other books and pamphlets expose
these frauds, and the ad you ran al
the top of fourth column on thirC
page of your February issue is one
of them.
Now don't come back at me with the
old platitude-"Other papers prin1
EN-" I know it, and l kick to them
too. But The Fool-Killer isn't suppos
ed to be like the the rest of 'em
The Menace, The Appeal, and others
are full of this class of stuff. The.
propose. to tell us the truth abou
the plutes, and they do tell us lie
about cure-a1ls. How can we hav'
faith, knowing that we expect NOR,
Of your paper?
Yours very truly,
R. H. PETERS

kind Of medical adsI would
accept were certain remedies for
the liquor and tobacco habits.
But further investigation of
their claims has convinced me
that they, too, are mostly frauds
and humbugs and that their on
ly object is to get the poor
dupe's money and leave him
perhaps in worse fix than before
And SO the Liquor and tobacco
cures will be classed with the
other patent medicines and bar
red from the advertising col
umns Of The Fool-Killer from
now on.
So much for that. And now
just a word about the American
Medical Association, to which
you referred me in your letter
Has it ever occurred to you that
a thief is sometimes very willing
to testify against another thief,
especially if the business Of one
thief completes with the business,
Of the other thief. Hence we.
can readily understand why the.
American Medical Association
is advertising and selling it's
"Great American Fraud" and
other books condemning the patent
medicine trade. But one fatal
omission in all these books is that
they do not include the Ameri-
can Medical Association among
their list Of frauds. Is it posi-
BILE, Comrade Peters, that a man
Of your intelligence could be ig-
norant OF the fact that the reg
ular' medical doctors who are
represented by such concerns
as the American Medical Asso-
citation are just as big frauds
and humbugs as the patent med
icine concerns? The poison
dopes that the big orthodox NJ.
ID. pumps into a poor sick mans
system are, nine times out Of
ten, not only worthless but alb
solutely harmful. The only diff
ference is that enc bunch of dope
dispensers have got organized in
to a great medical trust with the
laW-making bodies under their
thumb, and have thus managed
to get their graft legalized.
While the patent medicine fakir
has got to go it alone and pad
die his own canoe. But some of
the outside gang are getting so
smart that their trade is injur-
ing the medical trust, and the
latter is getting as Jealous as the
very devil. And that what all
this fuss is about. It's merely
a case Of the. pot calling the ket-
T, tie black.
1t is enough to make the an
gels weep to see the medical
trust go galloping around with
a shlrt-tail full Of pills and pow
ders trying to create the impress
sion that it is the BIG IT and
that everybody else are frauds.
