FROM THE SON OF FRED

Editor The Georgian
Mr.. Graves great editorial in
recent number OF The Georgian
upon the relations existing in the
South between the races. is. to
my mind, the fairest and best
expression on that question that
has vet appeared in any OF our
leading papers, North or South.
1t states the case clearly. con-
servatively and without preiu-
dice. It sounds q new note that
will go far to inspire the best
element IN both races to settle
themselves down to the convic-
ton that racial sntagonism must
pass out, II peace harmony and
their best interests are to be con-
served. Sincerely,

FROM ONE OF THE SOUTH'S
GREAT NEGRO PREACHERS,

Editor The Georgian:
Your recent editorial on the
problem OF the races was great.
Every word In it rang true.
Printed simultaneously through
out the country in your associat-
ed system Of papers, it can but
have ar instantaneous national
effect. 1t takes this question out
of the realm of the academic and
places 1t In that of the practical.
The one great thing needed now
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-01-10

This editorial. coming from the
pen of such a distinguished rep
resentative of the South, will give
new hope to the negro and serve
as an inspiration to him for
higher achievements.
The negro asks for no special
consideration. only asks that he
be granted an equal chance in the
race of life, for with it the so
called negro problem vanishes.

bitten that good anti mill
tant Anna Shaw

TIME militant madness has
bitten that good anti mill
tant, Anna Shaw.
All America admires Anna
Shaw. Everybody who knows
her respects her. She has united
great ability with fine character
and unswervingly consistent de-
votion to great ideals. And it is
to be hoped that she will think
better of her published resolve to
refuse compliance with the de-
mands made upon her by the new
income tax law. If she persists
in her determination to offer
passive resistance" then Ameri-
can women ought to turn a deaf
ear to her appeal to go and do
likewise"
DR.. Shaw will refuse-so the
report goes-to fill in the sched-
ules and render the accounts
asked by the collectors. Presum-
ably, she will refuse to pay the
amount of the tax arbitrarily lev
led. And, if need be, she will go
10 prison for her contumacy.
In prison-if the newspaper re-
ports may be trusted-she will
start no hunger strike. Sensible,
even in the choice of a mistaken
policy, she concludes that she is
worth more to the suffrage cause
as a strong, healthy person than
as an invalid reduced to semi
insanity by starvation and tor
ture. But with the prison before
her, she chooses passive resist
ance" for the purpose of voicing
in this resounding manner the
protest of women against being
taxed by a Government which
they do not help to elect Taxa
ton without representation is

Votes Are Needed.

DR.. Shaw's example should be
repudiated by suffragists through
out the United States on two
grounds. First, because such a
course will do little good; second,
because it may do great harm.
Votes are needed, the votes of
men. Before men give their
votes their opinions must be
changed. Will convictions be
changed by the course on which
DR.. Shaw has resolved?
For the purpose of the inquiry
we may divide the opponents of
woman suffrage into the thought
full and the unthoughtful-not
necessarily the, educated" and
the Ignorant" vote, though in a
measure they correspond to these
distinctions. Both types of OBJ
lection were in evidence during
the campaign for woman suffrage
in California in 1911. 1t is a pity
that some alice in Wonder

could not arrange that the cam
paign should come after the cleo
tion-for we could all fight the
campaign so much better if we
had the information before
which we had after.
On election day we learned the
secret of the opposition as we had
never learned it before. Three
men were spoken to, one after

GRAND DUKE" WITH A REAL
"SKIN GAME" TRACED HERE

kept in the Hotel casually remarked
that he was the agent of a Russian
grand duke travelling incognito who
was hard up and willing to allay his
present financial stringency by selling
some of his wife's valuable Russian
sable and ermine furs.
"Bercovich asked to see the furs
and was shown beautiful ermine,
like muff and cape. After some barter
ing he brought the price of the "furs'
down from $500 to $50 and the Rus,
sian with the remark that grand
dukes must eat as we'll as other peo-
plet let them go at that price.
The 'furs' were greatly admired by
the women guests Of the Hotel Oak
land and the agent Of the Grand
Duke soon disposed CT some choice
sets of the mysterious grand Ouch
ess'' wardrobe
1T was not until Bercovich's 'furs'
were caught in a rain storm that the
cigar magnate's suspicious were
aroused.
The set lost it's beauty and lustre
and he took it to a taxidermist He
was told the .furs' were worthless
The news spread and in several pro-
minent families about town there is
weeping and crashing of teeth.
Efforts to find the agent of the
grand duke were fruitless and pri-
vate detectives were engaged to run
down the swindlers. They were trac
ed as far as Honolulu.
"E. L. Ormsby, secretary of Fried
mans, concern that deals largely in
high grade furs, stated that DR.. w. J.
Smythe of this city had also been
made the victim of the fur swindlers
who represented themselves as desert
ers from a Russian war ship
This thing has been going on for
some time" said Ormsby. "A swim
ding gang from Russia has been
palming off weased hair doctored up
like genuine ermine and sable on so,
ciety people right and left and we
merchants are now hearing the re-
suit of it.
These Russians are running a skin
game On skins, just plain skins with
few cheap hairs. They have more
victims than their victims are willing
to admit"

More foreign "title-bearing sc1ons
of some of the best families" of the
Old World may be in Honolulu but,
being Of retiring dispositions probably
are refraining from becoming too con
spieuous and consequently travelling
under assumed names. Russia this
time enters the local field as a con
tender for honcrs in the titular line,
grand duke" having been traced
here through the efforts of Oakland,
Cal, detectives, where all efforts to
locate him have proved unavailing.
The particular grand duke is ac'
cused of running real skin game,
his specially being furs.
Sheriff Jarrett and Captain of De-
tectives McDuffie state that they have
heard nothing of the gentleman in
question, the Oakland officials having
failed to notify the Honolulu depart
ment to be on the lockout for their
man. .
Following is the report s. Of the
grand dukes" escapades in the coast
city, as related in the Oakland En-
quirer:
Descending on Oakland with the
story Of a hard-up Russian grand duke
selling his wife's valuable furs, two
men believed to be members of gang
of fur swindlers operating all over
the United States, victimized some OF
Oakland's prominent society and bust
ness folk and fled to Honolulu.
Private detectives have been en-
gagged to run them down and put a
stop to their operations. Among the
Oaklanders who are in possession OF
fake Russian ermine and sable furs
are William Bercovich, owner and
proprietor of the Hotel Oakland cigar
stand; DIR. w. J. Smythe, prominent
society man of this city and several
fashionable women guests Of the HO-
tel Oakland.
The victims complained TO several
big stores in the city whose firm mem
bers are associated with the CONNER
cial club, chamber of commerce and
merchants exchange and steps are be-
ing taken by the business men to
bring the matter to the attention OF
the various organizations.
"Bercovich was approached by a
sauve Russian who after buying the
most expensive brace of cigars he
