SAVINGS STAMPS A GODSEND
Thousands in Sickness, Buying
Homes and Paying School and
College Expenses.

Savings Stamps have been a God
send to the people," said Boiling H.
Jones. Postmaster at Atlanta. GIN
completing the payment for homes
bought, in meeting the expenses of
sickness and in paying the school ex-
penses of boys and girls at high
schools and colleges, Savings Stamps
have done wonders" continued Mr..
Jones.
This was found to be rue all over
the United States during the first flu
epidemic during the fall of 1918
and has been equally so this year dur
ing the trying weeks of January and
February, when our second flu cpl
demic came on, causing so much sick
ness and expense to the people.
In Atlanta, where ten thousand
young men and women are at college
or in technical schools, hundreds of
them have been able to pay their way
largely with Savings Stamps bought
in previous months. Thus the saving
habit is helping to educate worthy
boys and girls in a practical way. In
the high schools of Atlanta the at
tendance is four times as large as it
was fifteen years ago, although there
is no such increase in population.
Thrift has helped the people to edu-
cate their children better.
In the meantime the same Thrift
in the purchase of Savings Stamps
has helped hundreds of people to &C
quire homes and complete the pay
ments on homes already bought, at a
time when it was almost impossible
to rent comfortable homes.

A WISH.

I'd like to be a boy again. a care-free prince
of joy again,
I'd like to tread the hills and dales the
way I used to do;
I'd like the tattered shirt again, the knick-
ers thick with dirt again.
The ugly. dusty feet again that long ago
I knew.
I'd like to play first base again. and Silver's
curves to face again.
I'd like to climb. the way I did, a friendly
apple-tree:
For. knowing what I do today. could / but
wander back and play.
I'd get full measure of the JOY that boyhood
I'd like to be a lad again. a youngster. wild
and glad again.
I'd like to sleep and eat again the way I
used to do;
like to race and run again. and drain
from life its fun again.
And start another round of Joy the mo-
ment one was through.
But care and strife have come to me-. and Of
ten days are glum to me.
And sleep Is not the thing It was and
food Is not the same:
And I have signed. and known that I must
journey on again to sigh.
And / have stood at envy's point and
heard the voice of shame.
I've learned that joye are feeting things:
that parting pain each meeting brings
That gain and loss are partners here. and
50 are smiles and tears;
That only boys from day to day can drain
and fill the cup of play;
That age must mourn for what is lost
throughout the coming years.
But boys I'M appreciate their priceless
Joy until too late.
And those who own the charms I had viii
soon be changed to men:
And then. they. too. viii cit. - I and back

And share my longing. vain. 70 he . care

A young travelling salesman, happily married and well start
ed on the way toward at least a reasonable measure of success
in life, becomes entangled in the tolls of one of the open and
notorious gambling resorts of the community. He visits this
place repeatedly, in the desperate hope of winning back what
he has lost, until, after gambling away his latest salary receipts
and expense money, he takes his own life.
In such a situation what shall be said of the published view
that There would be no gambling resorts if there were no Har-
ry Smarts to patronize them" and that the solution is not sup
preston" though no other course is offered? Such a callous de-
nunciation of one of the principals in this tragedy that seems
to have awakened the conscience of the community accomp-
fishes worse than nothing.
Only half of the statement is true and that half can be ap-
piled to any conceivable form of vice, crime and sin. There
would be no theft if there was no property to steal. There
would be no intoxicating liquor if there were no people who in
if there were no men to patronize them and no women to oc-
'cupy them.
The analogy can be extended indefinitely. Yet who would
seriously suggest that the suppression of thievery is not the So
luton of the thief-problem, rather than the suppression of
property? Who would seriously suggest that suppression of
disreputable houses is not the proper solution of the problem
of cOmmercialized vice, rather than reliance on "educatiOn,"
the evolution of the moral sense and other chimerlcal ideas of
some reformers? Who would seriously suggest that prohibit
ton of traffic in drugs is not the proper solution of the drug
evil, and who will stand theoretically beside the dead body of
this young husband and father and agree with the serious sug-
gestion that the suppression of these infamous and notorious re-
sorts is not the paramount thing to do?
1t is a VICIOUS, an inexcusably vicious, commentary on the sit
uation that all the blame for weakness, in men and women,
shall be visited upon them alone and not shared with those who
are primarily responsible for the opportunities for yielding &c.
such weakness? No one can possibly deny that if everybody
stayed away from gambling dens, from houses of il-fame or
from booze dives these evils would disappear. But that is only

We are not surprised that the legislature should halt about
voting large sums for tick eradication. BY this we do not
mean that we do not endorse tick eradication. But in many
counties, Grenada for instance, there was much to substantiate
the idea that the work was unnecessarily prolonged to give jobs
to federal inspectors. It took almost as long to kill the ticks
as for the seven year itch to run it's course.

Father Burke of Chicago Turns Back
Mob of Five Thousand and
Turns Men Over to Police.
(BH Associated Preas1

Chicago-One small priest with a
smile and the word Sanctuary" on his
lips did more than squads of police
last night in preventing the threath-
ened lynching of three negroes who
took refuge in his church. He is
Father Thomas Burke, pastor Of St.
Gabriel's church. When Father Burke
reached the church a mob estimated
to number 5000 was packed about the
doors and hundreds more had entered
in the search for the negroes. Forcing
his way in the priest shouted: What
is this sacrilege? Whot are the rowdies
that storm the house of God?" Some
one explained. "That makes no diff
ference" the priest cried, "This place
is sanctuary. / order every person in
this building to leave immediately, and
quietly" The crowd broke and filed
out. The last man had left when a
police riot squad arrived. Taking the
police inside, Father Burke called to
the hidden negroes to come out from
confessional. A pile of Cassocks in
robing room yielded a second aid
the third appeared from behind the
altar rail. One knelt and kissed the
priests hand as police spirited them
out side entrance. With the negroes
safely away, Father Burke, smiling,
went out to address the mob.

TWO SHOTS HALT
"PEEPING TONI
Sec'y Meissner of Police
Dept. Gets Man Who
Had Bothered People.
BANISHED FROM CITY

Kenosha lost one undesirable citizen
today when Joseph Thanas, 81 years
OF age and an alleged "Peeping Tom, =
was banished from the city by Judge
Tully in the municipal court after he
had admitted that he had peepe6 into
windows and after he had paid fine
of $25 and the costs of the action.
The arrest of Thanas by Secretary
Emil Meissner of the police depart
rnent put real thrills into the night
life of people who live on JENNIE street,
for Thanas was not taken into custody
until two bullets had been sent flying
after him. The shooting and the cap
ture of the man who is declared to
have been a first class nuisance to the
JENNIE street neighborhood for months,
caused great excitement and drew
great crowd of the residents of the
district into the streets at midnight.
Many Complaints Filed.
For months the police have been re-
ceiving complaints of "Peeping Tom"
working in the Jenne street neighbor-
hood People had made futile efforts
to capture the fellow, but he always
managed to escape. Secretary Meiss-
ner has been watching for the fellow
for several nights and he was hidden
on one of the porches just before mid
night Monday night. He did not have
to wait long.
Slipping along like cat, Thanas
came up to the very house where the
officer was hiding and began peering
into the window. Meissner made for
him and Thanas started to run. The
officer drew his revolver and opened
fire. On the second shot Thanas
pitched forward on his face and the
people who had joined in the chase be-
lieved that he had been shot. There
was not a mark on him when he reach
ed the police station. Thanas was all
logged out for "peeping"
Sneak Shoes as Evidence.
He wore what the police called
"sneak shoes" They were lined with
lambs wool and over the soles of them
had been drawn pair of rubbers.
Thanas, after he was arrested, admit
ted that he had been peeping into win
dows and he could give no excuse for
his actions. The police declared that
he was abnormal" but just thee same
he was taken to court and arraigned
He paid the fine of $25 and costs and
promised to get out Of the city today
and stay out. If he is seen about the
city again, an effort will be made to
have an examination into his mental
condition.

SAF'TIG TO STAY
AS COMMISSIONER
Council Rescinds Action on
Accepting Pauper Com
missioner's Resignation.
IS BACK ON THE JOB

BY practically unanimous vote, the
city council on Monday evening re-
scinded its action accepting the resig-
nation of Jacob Saftig as pauper COM
missioner and by this act authorized
him to remain on the job as director
of the work Of that departm Com
missioner Saftig's resignation was to
become effective today but as result
of the action of the city council he
was back at his usual place this morn
ms carrying on the work Of the pauper
commissioner.
At the last meeting Of the council,
Commissioner Saftig without assign
ing any reason asked that his resigna-
tion be accepted. Later he was ap-
pointed to become probation officer to
succeed Miss Laura Hahn by Judge
Tully, but he had not formally accept
ed this position. When the time came
to elect successor for Commissioner
Saftig, Alderman Roberts introduced a
resolution that the action of the coun-
ell be reseinded in accepting the resig-
nation and after lengthy discussion,
this motion was passed with but one
dissenting vote.
Saftig Explains Action.
Commissioner saftig was invited to
come before the council and explain
whether or not he wished to have his
resignation reconsidered. He explained
that since the last meeting he had
been approached by many persons to
continue his former work and that he
now believed that it was his duty to
remain as pauper commissioner if they
desire to retain him. He expressed his
willingness under the present financial
situation of the city to accept the same
pay which he has been receiving
$4,000 a year.
Many members Of the council before
voting on the proposal pointed out that
it would be of great advantage to the
city to have Pauper Commissioner
Saftig reconsider his proposition and
keep on the job. They praised his
efficiency and declared that the break
ing in of a new commissioner would
cost the city several thousand dollars
L.
There were five applications for the
position of pauper commissioner but
with the resembling of the action Of
the council the place was declared not
vacant and all of these persons will
be disappointed.
Leaves Probation Office Vacant.
The decision of Commissioner Saftig
to continue as pauper commissioner
again leaves the position of probation
officer of the county vacant and it will
be necessary for Judge Tul1y to name
another successor for Miss Hahn.
There was considerable discussion at
the council that the possibility that
the county board might withdraw the
appropriation for the probation officers
salary had made it difficult to secure
anyone to accept the appointment.
Judge Tully had no announcement to
make this morning regarding the prob
able successor.
