CHAPTER XII.
Jailed.

SdbSo
Gainesville nestles close between
the points of two outlying foothills,
and it is delightfully."- lazy and old
fashioned town. For the most part it
is made up of gabled old brick houses,
which have pretty settings of green
lawn, roses, honeysuckles and trees.
Even in the small business district,
the streets are lined with trees. They
have electric lights there, and water
mains, common school and a high
school, courthouse, Jail and a
theater
II was a little after nightfau when
Dale and the other two men rode
through the shaded streets. Dale noted
that the people they met under the
swinging lights spoke cordially and
with marked courtesy to his compan-
ions 1t was very evident that the of
ficer and Major Bradley were in high
standing in their home town.
Sheriff Tom Flowers drew in before
n hitching-rack that stood in front of
the courthouse, q great old wooden
building with a clock in its tower.
"We1l dismount here" said he.
They did. The major took the rein
of DaIe's horse.
"rll see that the animal is well
cared for. SIR" he said to Dale. "And
as soon as 1 have seen to our horses,
I'll be with you, / wish to talk mat
ters over with you. Suppose l bring
supper for us both. eh?'
Dale thanked Bradley, and turned
away with the officer. They walked a
short block and entered a low. square
building Of brick and stone of which
the windows were small and high and
barred with iron. Dale knew that II
was the Cartersville jail, and his heart
sank In spite OF him. Just as death

The Sport

One of this country's prominent
physicians recently probed into the
question why men smoke.
He turned a deaf ear to GLIB preju-
dices and to accepted but half-thought-
out notions. He based his conclusions
upon careful study Of the use OF to-
bacco by our men during the War.
He diagnosed smoking as being
clearly diversior which helped
rather than interfered with . mans
performance Of his duty.
Smoking is not vicious practice
but a happy sport. II it were not, this
expert declares, men would long. ago

BARRIERS ARE ENJOINED

Sioux City, Iowa-Judge Sears has
enjoined BARRIERS union No. 81 from
picketing non-union shop. The
court acknowledged that there was
no threats or violence by the union
lists, or intimidation in any form, but
he said "picketing is unlawful" The
employer testified that the boycott
injured his business and that this
seemed sufficient reason for Judge
Sears to act, as injunction judges be-
lieve that business men have a monop-
oily on the public's patronage, when
organized workers attempt to divert
it to other channels.

Conference Is Called
LABOR TO CONSIDER ATTACKS
ON TRADES UNIONS
GOmpers Orders Meeting of a. F. Of
l.. Affiliates at Washington 10
Consider Methods of OPP
posing Anti UniOnistS

Washington-Und instruction of
the executive council, President Com
pers has issued call for conference
of representatives of the 100 n4tional
and international affiliates of the A.
F. of L., to be held in this city; We'd
nesday, February %, to consider
publicity and other methods to meet
the opposition of anti-unionists.
The caiis,is the result of action
taken by the executive council at its
last meeting, when President Com
pers was authorized to confer on this
subject with trade unionists and
others in sympathy with the trade
union movemnet. On December 20
President Gompers discussed the
question with score of men, and
one of the recommendations included
a conference that President Gompers,
with the approval of the executive
council, now calls.
The purpose of the conference,
says President Gompers, will be "to
consider generally the movement to
undermine and destroy the efforts of
the workers through the campaign
for the establishment of the non-union
shop, the movement unwarrantably to
reduce wages and to close entirely
many large industrial establishments,
and as special order of business to
consider methods of publicity de-
signed to meet the needs of the time,
as we'll as the means whereby such
plans as may be thought wisest may
be put into operation.
"The situation is crucial An un-
reasoned and unreasonable attack is
being made upon the trade union
movement. The welfare of the men
and women of labor and the welfare
of our republic are at stake. The
battle must be fought by the organ
lied workers and the best brains in
our movement must devise the meth
DDS and policies to be followed"
Since the formation of the A. F.
of L., in 1881, there have been four
other conferences of this character
called because of unusual national,
economic or political conditions con-
fronting the workers.

Uplift Laws Fail

New York-"The willingness with
which we undertake to regulate by
law the personal habits of private
citizens is source of perpetual as
tonishment to Europeans" says Ray
mond B. Fosdick in his book on
"Ameri-sn Police Systems"
During the world war the author
was chairman of the commission or
training camp activities of the war
and nav departments.
Nowhere in the world" he says,
"is there so great an anxiety to place
the moral regulation of social affairs
in the hands of the police, and no.
where are the police so incapable of
carrying out such regulations. Oar
concern, moreover, is for exte. nal
things, for results that are formal
and apparent rather than essential.
"We are less anxious about pre-
venting a man from doing wrong to
others than in preventing him from
doing what we consider harm to him
self. We like to pass laws to com Del
the individual to do as we think he
ought TO do for his own good. We al
tack symptoms rather than causes,
and in doing so we create a speres
of moralistic despotism which over
rides the private conscience and de-
stroys liberty where liberty is most
precious"

Illegal Deportation
Claimed by Preacher

New York-Criticism of the meth
DDS used in ridding the country of
persons supposed to be undesirable is
made by the commission on church
and social service of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America. Facts for the report were
gathered by the Rev. c. M. Panunzio,
who began his study in 1919 when he
went to Europe as steerage pas
senger to learn the reason why many
of foreign birth were returning to
their native lands. His canvass
shows that the majority thought they
were being prosecuted. Of Ameri-
cans in general the common saying
was: "They don't want foreigners"
and "the America of mems dreams is
vanishing"
Returning to America the clergy
man questioned many aliens held for
deportation in detention camps. They
were arrested mostly in groups while
attending meetings in public halls
and were forced to sign statements,
which were later used as evidence
against them, the report says. Only
small number could be classed as
dangerous radicals. Most of them
asked not to be deported, saying they,
would gladly abide by the laws.
The report urges that, with respect
to what are known as political of
fenses, no act or utterance, which at
common law would not amount to a
solicitation or an attempt to commit
crime, should be held as sufficient
ground for deportation. To deport a
person for his ideas, however objec-
tionable, is declared to be not only
illiberal, but a futile method of di-
recting intellectual development.
The report condemns the govern
ment agent who instigates unlawful
acts for the purpose of trapping the
perpetrators.

Vast Sums For War
Little For Education

Washington-Ninety-three per cent
of the peoples money is used for pur-
poses of war and per cent for pur-
poses of education, said Congress
man Mansfield, who called attention
to scientific study made by DR.. Rosa
of the United States buerau of stan
dards on expenditures of our govern
ment for the year 1920. DR., Rosa
showed that SO per cent of the total
appropriations last year were for war
and preparations for war, per cent
for public work and l per cent for
research, education and development.
"When Germany was using prac-
tically all of her resources in build
ing up great military and naval estab
lishments," said Congressman Mans
field, "the entire civilized world stood
in awe at her until the opportune
moment arrived for forming vast
coalition to encompass her defeat.
We now find this nation following in
the footsteps of Germany and pur-
suing the same course, which we con-
demned in that nation as being a
menace to mankind. And, strange to
say, we find men high in the counsels
of our government of both political
parties who, then loudest in their con-
demnation of Germany, are now
longest in their advocacy of having
this country pursue the same course
that led to that nations downfall.
Instead of taxing our people to
the verge of slavery to fill the Golfers
of those who profit in the building of
great naval and military establish
ments, let us divert a reasonable pro-
portion of our funds to the more use
full, necessary and humane purpose
of the rehabilitation and comfort of
those who were made suffereds by the
late war;"
