caution In the admonition:
Let well enough alone"
This is particularly true when
applied to the outrageous pros
titution Of justice in the policy
of Atlanta's detective department,
which resulted in a so-called
raid on seven locker clubs Of At
lanta in the downtown district,
when the same raiders, knowing
of seven locker clubs in the up
town district, deliberately gave
them immunity.
It is true when it is possible to
apply it to threatened invasion
of personal rights. and confisca-
ton of property interests, as these
belong to one class OF citizens,
and the protection of these same
rights and interests as they be-
long to another class of citizens,
should our courts of so-called
justice allow this wanton class
ism in arrests to go unrebuked.
1t is likewise true when applied
to the overzealous efforts of q lot
of professional uplifters, who
would. by arbitrary insistence,
endanger the peace, the liberty
and the business veal OF the city
and State, merely to carry their
mania for reforming things.
A Fable.
These methods strikingly suy-
gest the fable Of the dog CROSS
ing a foot log, with bone in
mouth. Upon seeing It's shadow
in the water, the greedy animal
let fall the substance in an ef-
fort to mouth the reflected bone.
The radicals who, through leg
islatlve hold-up, secured the pas
sage of an act prohibiting the
sale of liquor in Georgia, upon
finding that public sentiment,
which had never been tested,
would not stand for the undesired
legislation, passed tax act,
which liberalized the measure so
that the law abiding citizen
might enjoy himself under rea-
sonable restraint.
They would now make nuga-
tory the tax act, close every
locker club and beer saloon in the
State, and deny the public treas
ury the money that comes through
these sources for the support OF
our eleemosynary Institutions.
They see the shadow Of reform
in the deceptive waters Of prohi-
bition, and would let go the sub
stance Of control in their eager
desire to revel In empty conquest.
Never content with victories
won; never considering that any
contract, whether expressed or
implied, is binding. except on the
opposition: always demanding
that some new screw. 1t matters
not, be borne down into the lid
of restraint; these overworked
zealots would throw their cause
into the maelstrom Of vicious
conditions, in an utterly foolish
effort to control the human appe-
tie and legislate the throats of
men,
That whisky is a curse no sane
man will deny. Morphine and
cocaine are curses. They are
likewise great blessings Wheth-
er curse or blessing, intoxicating
fluids have been used for a time
whereof the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary. It has
been demonstrated that legisla-
ton does not and can not prevent
the use Of whisky. Christ did not
prevent ii.

IT HE young girl who has come to the great city
hears many voices. Two speak loudest. One
is the voice of her mother, bidding her watch her
steps carefully avoiding the glitter Of temptation
and the lure of the wealth she sees about her. the
other is the voice of the tempter who may come in
many forms, and who tells her that beauty will
bring pleasure and happiness, and that the doors be-
hind which the brightest lights CLEAN will swing
for her if she will but knock on them.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-01-13

There are many ways she may take in great
contentment the other may lead for little time
through pleasure to SORROW but most often it leads
directly to bitterness and despair Dreadfully
mistaken is the girl who thinks that beautiful
clothes and pleasant society follow the slightest
yielding to the tempter. AS thousands of poor girls
can testify the empter has the key to door only
and that is the door to immediate and abect misery

Copyright, 1914, by the New York
Evening Post co.,
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.--The two
salient incidents Of the day--each of
them bearing very directly on the
financial position OF this country
were the further sharp decline in ex-
change on London to Assn, the low
est rate touched since last February,
and the further rise in the wheat mar
ket, where prices for December de-
livery today went above the highest
figure reached In the spectacular
movement of September.
Great interest attached TO the move
ment of sterling, which is now nearly
half. way between the par exchange
and the gold.import point. That so
rapid drift In this markets favor
should be occurring at the moment
when New York money rates are fall
ing TO really low figures. undoubtedly
serves toaemphasize the significance
OF the movement. The sales Of our
stocks reported to have been made a
week ago by London. have thus far
found no reflection whatever in ex-
change-a fact which more or less
confirms the testimony OF banking
houses. that the amount of securities
actually shipped TO us is much smaller
than Wall-st. had imagined Ex-
change on Paris and Berlin moved
similarly to exchange on London.
AS for the new high record" set in
wheat. that was quite naturally
ascribed by the market to the con-
tinued enormous European buying, to
the uncertainties thrown over next
years American yield by last weeks
government condition estimate and
therefore to the possibility OF deficient
food supply for the world.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.--Harry X.
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, to-
day lost his fight for liberty in the
supreme court His extradition to
New York state from New Hampshire,
following his escape from Matteawan
asylum. was ordered by the court.
Thaw must stand trial for con-
spiracy to escape from Matteawan, for
which he was indicted In New York.
following his sensational flight to
Canada and thence to New Hamp-
shire.
The high court reversed the de-
cision OF Federal District Judge Aid
rich, OF New Hampshire, who granted
Thaw a writ OF habeas corpus.
Whether Thaw Is returned to Mat
teawan depends upon the New York
authorities. His attorneys declare,
however, that II he is not tried on
the conspiracy charge, or should at-
tempts be made to hold him as an al
legged lunatic In the asylum. another
habeas corpus proceeding win be
brought.
Nearly all OF the points made by
rhaw's counsel, former Atty. Gen.
Philander c. Knox, and former Gov.
Stone, OF Pennsylvania, were over
ruled In the opinion, which was hand.
ed down by Justice Holmes.
"Thaw was fugitive from justice:
