upon by censors, whether in New
York or San. Francisco, In Chi
cago or Seattle, are plays in one
form or another calculated to ex-
pose the evil, to show it for what
1t is, evil and nothing but evil,
scandal and a menace.
They do not make vice attrac-
tive. They throw no glamour over
lives lived in shame. If they did
they would stand condemned.
They reveal facts as they are.
They show them as repulsive
facts. They fire in the breasts of
decent men and women a hatred
of the evil, calling for private

NEGRO MAKES SLEEPIN6
PORCH OF SIDEWALK

Atlanta, July 3.-The hot weather
problem has sent all Atlanta to sleep
ing porches, but that didn't warrant
Cleveland Walker, colored, in going to
sleep on a curbstone and permitting
his feet to obstruct traffic, according to
Officer Pearson.
Pearson awoke the slumberer and
hailed him to the station and then be-
gan to wonder what charge to make.
At last he entered this Constructing
the public highway without hanging
out a red lantern" The recorder dis
missed the case.
While the policemen was wrestling
with the negro question Atlanta society
women, inspired by the heat, began a
movement for more public drinking
fountains for man and beast. They
progressed very nicely until they
found that no business firm or res
idence owner in town would permit q
sloppy fountain to be erected in front
of his property. Now they are trying
to find way to solve the difficulty.
