A 6 -r (ri- THE ATIfANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1913. ^OUAITRY fjOME timely TOPICS CONDUCTED Bl HKS. \T. HJELTD/I < GIRLS ARE NOT SAFE IN THE CITY’S PUBLIC STREETS. I T has been known foi* a long ttnie in Georgia that young white, girls are not safe on the country roads and rural byways, but the brutal murder of that fourteen-year-old girl in the very heart of the city of Atlanta convinces u:; that no young girl is safe on the open streets of our towns and cities when unattended. The particulars of Mary Phagan’s murder have been extravagantly ex ploited in the various newspapers of the state, and up to the time of this writing the murderer and rapist has not been exposed. Perhaps he never will be, because hiding places are so many anti, vice so well entrenched and so de fiant in large cities. It is the lesson which Mary’s murder teaches that I purpose to write about, and the need of the lesson is so ap parent that I am sure I have only to name it to obtain the public’s ap proval. The young girls of any large town or city should be indoors when dark comes, and there should be sufficient legislation .to /compel all youths of both sexes to go home, after sundown, under the dread of pains and penalties of the law. We house our valuable cat tle and lock them in safe places when night comes, and surely there is enough invested In human flesh and blood to insure that ’much caution for the chil dren. No girl child ite safe after dark, when lust and liquor have* the right of way, even in houses where a procuress can enter, and certainly she should be led, to her home by the police when she is caught wandering ^alone in a. town or city, and there should be a legal en forcement of what is known as the “curfew law” in certain states, and that “curfew' law” should be enacted in every large town or city, not only to save the youths of the city from violence and de basement, but to abate the hordes of lascivious men who seek whom they may devour, and are willing to spend, money to secure fresh women and girls who can be decoyed into a life of sin to gratify‘their own illicit-desires. With popular soft drinks at every street cor ner. it is the easiest thing in the world to dope such drinks until the dazed vic tim can be led to her ruin—even in broad daylight—but the celerity of such destruction after dark is too evident to call for further explanation. Some have said to me, “What are mothers thinking about that they do not forbid their young daughters from going on the streets after dark?” In this age of irreverence and undu- tifulnesb 'the youths of our land who “take the bit in their own teeth” and go their own fast pace are in a majority. Pass a general “curfew law” and any boy or girl who is on the streets alone after dark should be led home by the authorities and a tine placed on the parents who are indifferent to their absence, or who send them abroad. We are* educating the youth of the land in books by taxation as a pre ventive to crime. Why not apply some tax money to saving the lives and virtue of those who are being thus educated? (Ke published by Request.) • SHALL WOMEN PRAY IN PUBLIC? A subscriber of The Semi-Weekly Journal down in Alabama desires to know if it is proper for women to pray in public. She finds some objectors in her neighbor hood and seh asks for my views on the sub- ject. She belongs to a prayer circle, where the friends meet at different houses, and the women have been praying when called upon. But there are persons who seriously object to* hearing a woman pray where men are pres ent, and ^Jhe desires my opinion. 1 aiu not sure that I shall please anybody but myself in what 1 am going to say, be cause I think there is entirely too much flip pant praying—no matter who does it. It is a very serious thing to get on one’s knees even at our bedsides and ask for an interview with the Maker of heaven and earth. There should be a great need* felt, an imperative necessity, or the petition will be too flimsy to be listened to. And a person who presumes to pray for a congregation ought to prepare for it, get a train of thought ready which will move the hearers to profound amens! You have listened to petitions I know that might have been copied out of a book, they were so lifeless and formal. They evidently were set up for the hearers in the pews, rather than the Fa ther above. Prayers in public should be made by consecrated persons and not as lip serv ice. If the woman is asked to pray, why shouldn t she do so? If she feels a movement in her heart to cry aloud to her Maker, and has the burden of souls on her mind, why not? If the house was on fire she would be expected to sound an alarm, and the world is as full of sin and wickedness as of fire. Now, who would gag her mouth, in either case, wh e h tl* e danger was upon her? I have always thought that a good man might be as good as his good mother, but never thought he was any better. And I have always felt that a good mother’s prayers might ascend to heaven. Haven’t you? And if the Lord bends a willing ear to tlie sincere mother’s prayer, why may we not have these clean-handed, pure-hearted women to cal! on the name of the Lord? We strain at gnats and swallow famels. If a woman can speak in a missionary meeting, can’t she pray as well? It makes me tired to hear people placing limits and bounds upon this great privilege <>* worshiping God, out of pure minds and hearts. If the world is never worse hurt than by a good woman’s petitions at a throne of heav enly grace, the millennium is surely near to this old .planet. E POSTOFFICE INSPECTORS Postmaster General “Fires” One Inspector and Scores of Others Are in Line BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, May 5.—The activity anrl usefulness, or. rather, uselessness, of many postoffice inspectors has chal lenged the attention of Postmaster Gen eral Burleson, with the result that al ready official heads have begun to fall, ff. J. Lamonr, of Michigan, was the first postoffice inspector to be lired by the department. He was removed a day o*r two ago. Others are expected to share Lamour’s fate. Lamour, it is explained, walked the planked “for the good-of the service.” An .investigation has disclosed that out of the 380 postofficie inspectors em ployed under the Hitchcock regime only 38 were Democrats, yet politics was supposed not to play any paj’t in the appointment of inspectors. The post- office department, of course takes no official cognizance of the poltical affilia tions of its employes, hut the disparity between Republicans and Democrats in this particular branch of the service could not escape notice. Democrats in congress are pleased with what they believe a determination by the postoffice department to relieve several score or possibly two or three hundred of the Republican postoffice inspectors. They are confident that very little investigation will be required to satisfy the department that many of the inspectors have been guilty of fla grant abuses of their power and privi leges. MRS. WILSON INTERESTED IN PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 6.—The subject of pensions for indigent widows is being considered today by the local Associ ated Charities as the result of the in terest taken by Mrs. Wilson, wife of tne president, in the subject. Mrs. Wilson appeared unexpectedly yesterday at the conference of the as sociation in which the question was dis cussed. Two cases of destitution were under especial discussion. While no definite plans were made lookin?? toward the pension system, it was determined that gratuities would be granted only aftere the exhausting of possibilities of aid for the unfortunates from relatives, former employes, churches or other or ganizations. It also was held that a thorough investigation into the scheme and expenditures of eac h case should be made. Mrs. Wilson and her daughters have Vken a personal Interest in uplift work since they came to the White House. ' SIX DROWN WREN ROST TURNS OVER Three Boys and Three Girls Meet Death When Boat 7 Sinks in Charles River (By Associated Press.) BOSTON, Mass., May 5.—When an overloaded rowboat sprang a leak in the Charles river and sank tonight, six of its youthful occupants ,three girls and three boys, all of Cambridge. wprfe drowned. Two other boys, the only ones ir*. the party fible to swim, were saved. Those drowned, all between the ages of eight and sixteen years, w'ere: ANNA CABNEY. FLORA SILVA. MARY SHAW. FRANK MURPHY. JOHN COONEY, and JOSEPH BURGESS. Those saved were: John Walker, teen years, and Antonio Monesky, teen. Walker, Monesky and Burgess were hosts of the little party. They hired a boat made to bold only four or five, crowded their friends, in it and then started down the river. The children had rowed to the West Boston bridge and were on their way back when the boat began to take in water rapidly. Everybody screamed and the rowers headed frantically for the river wall. They were within twenty feet of the embankment when the boat went under and all of its occupants. «were thrown into the water. Most of the bodies had been recovered at a late hour tonight. six- fif- LEADER OF CLAN IS BURIED BY NOMADS John Sherlock, Who Died Near Atlanta Is Buried at Nashville (By Associated Press.) NASHVILLE, Tenii.. Hay 5.—Today is burial day for a clan bf nomads whose members travel far and wide over .the south trading horses. Large numbers of the band have arrived from Florida, Georgia and other states for today’s cer emony. The body of John Sherlock, for years a leader of the clan, is the only one to be buried today'. Sherlock died several months ago near Atlanta and his body has been in a vault here since awaiting the coming of burial day for interment.

Many in their effort to look youthful resort to t he“beauty doctor’s” prescriptions.Their m is- take is that they visit the wrong department in the drug: store. Beauty depends upon health. ' Worry, sleepless nights, headaches, pains, disorders, irregu larities and weaknesses of a distinctly feminine character in a short time bring the dull eye, the “crow’s feet,” the haggard look, drooping shoulders, and the faltering step.

SUFFRAGETTE PAGEANT STIRS NEW YORK CITY 20,000 in Line of March as Parade Passes Up Fifth Avenue Saturday (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, May 5.—The woman suf frage army marched up Fifth avenue this afternoon. 20,000 strong, to the mar tial music of the Marseillaise, blared from forty bands. In uniforms of wiiite, gleaming with yellow streamers they pa raded in the heat of a midsummer sun for three miles from Washington square to Fifty-ninth street. A forest of yellow banners appealed for “votes for women” to an unbroken wall of spectators esti mated at a quarter of a million. Inez Milholland, riding astride a met tlesome chestnut cob, directly behind an escort of monunted police led the marchers. v Behind her walked eight girls* in blue with silken flags; after them came two women in yellow With the suffrage map and its nine “yellow” states. And then came the long line of the rank and file, marching resolutely, unsmilingly, “for the cause.” NEGROES IN LINE. Women with snow white hair, children not yet out of rompers; girls from Swe den, women from New Zealand; negroes from the northern states, cow girls from Oklahoma; newsboys from the east side, Wall street brokers, these and the artisans of many tra’des and callings marched in unbroken lines, eight abreast, disbanding finally at the Fifty-ninth street plaza to overflow into two great mass meetings. The women’s political union, thou sands strong and broken into many de tachments, was in the forefront of the line. Their banners bore many mottoes. Some of them were: “More ballots; less bullets,” “One sex bears arms; the othe,r soldiers,” “Peace and persuasion,” “getting there after fighting forty years,” “Pioneers against the white slave traffic,” “Let the people rule; women are people.” Throughout the line there was borne aloft on banners the roll of wome^ who have achieved great things. “General” Rosalie Jones and her little band of pilgrims that blazed the suffrage way from New York to Washington were, too, clad in'their marching togs and heraldejl by a brass t*and of boy scouts. " Then followed teachers, students, sculptors, decorators, social workers and musicians. When the latter came abreast the reviewing stand they wheeled, a dark haired girl of sixteen stepped from their ranks and blew oil bugle a bar of stirring music. Stopped by the maneuver the line behind mark ed time while the little group sang the Marseillaise amid a thunder of ap plause. Bookkeepers, stenographers, milli ners, dressmakers and white goods workers—bearing their motto: STRENGTH IN UNION. “In union there is strength” came next. Then followed the army uf the Political Equality association, a ’thou sand white clad women. The New York State Suffrage association with its banner ^’Victory In 1913.” The New Jersey association “Victory in 1914.” Greek, Jewish, Italin and Syrian so cieties fur suffrage came next. Toward the end. of the line marched, forty-seven girls carrying an outspread yellow flag, nine starred - upon which were showered thousands? of coins. Brookyn’s thousands came next. Then came the college women, mure than a thousand strong, whose members com posed the Wellesley, Smith, Barnard, Byrn Mawr, New York University, Vassar, Radcliffe, Adelphi, Cornell, and many other universities. ANGLO-AMERICAN PEACE TOPIC IN PEACE CONGRESS ST. LOUIS, May. 5.-—A century of “Anglo-American peace" was the general topic for consideration at. the fourth American peace congress. William Rid dell, justice of the supreme court of Ontario, reviewed the history of British- American relations for the last hundred years, and said that questions more dilii- cult of settlement than any settled by- war had been adjusted peacefully be- tweeh the United States and Great Brit ain. John Lewis, editor of the Toronto Star, spoke on the identity of the in terests of the United States and Canada. Justice Benjamin Russell, of the su preme court of Nova Scotia, said it was a settled understanding among the Eng lish speaking peoples of the world that no possible question could arise between them that was not capable of adjust ment without recourse to the sword, "That being so,” he said, “our first duty is to have this understanding formulated in a treaty from the provi sions of which there shall be no ex cepted questions. “The proposed reservation of ques tions affecting ’the ’ honor of the na tion,’ which figured so largely in re cent discussions of arbitration, is noth ing better than that notion of honor that formerly obliged a man to present his body as the target for a duelist.’’ MINERAL BLUFF SCHOOL HOLDS COMMENCEMENT (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MINERAL BLUFF, Ga., May 5.—Much interest was manifested in the com mencement exercises of the Mineral Bluff Industrial school, which was found ed and is being maintained by the South ern Mountain Educational association. Twenty-for young la«3ies received di plomas. Rev. C. H. Yearby preached the com mencement sermon, which was a splen did effort and a fitting cloke to the very successful exercises, ' The secretary of, the association, Mrs. John R. Dickey, of Atlanta, was pres ent and expressed herself as being de lighted with the work of the school. WAR COLLEGE STAFF ON LONG HORSEBACK RIDE (Ey Associated Press.) FREDERICKSBURG. Va., May 5.— Four hundred And twenty-five miles will be covered in the twenty-day horseback ride of the war college staff cavalcade which- rode from here today on a journey over the Civil war battle fields of Virginia, Maryland and Penn sylvania. Two British army officers of high rank were among the horse men. BIRD COLER CONDEMNS (BY BISHOP AMERICAN EDUCATION W. A. CANDLER T HE interest of the American peo ple in the matter of education unprecedented in the history of nations. Beside the vast sums, ap propriated by .states and municipalities for common schools and the legislative appropriations to state universities, im mense gifts are made every year by private individuals to institutions of learning and boards of education. Such gifts are without precedent in» ancient or modern times, and the volume of these gifts grows greater with each passing year. Let us note a few which have been made since thd opening of the year 1913: Mrs. R. N. Carson has left by will $6,000,000 for Carson Col lege. Mr. Ferris Thompson has left $3,000,000 to Princeton University. The will of the late Robert P*. Doremus, a business man of New York City, was recently probated and it was found that his entire fortune of between $3,- 000,000 ‘'and $5,000,000 had been left to Washington and Lee University. Other gifts besides t'hese have also been made; but these are sufficent to show how strongly the current of the generosity of the rich among us sets toward edu cational institutions. All of this is certainly creditable to our country. It sho\Vs that other "mo tives than the motives of commercial ism are operating in the hearts of at least some of our people of wealth. Evidently many of them believe that there Is something better than money, something into which money can be turned and thereby its value be in creased. By these great gifts the giv ers declare their faith in the truth that “man shall not live by bread alone.” But, while recognizing the generous purposes which inspire such gifts, it is not improper to ask, Are the givers doomed to disappointment in the fruit of their giving? Is such of the educa tion given in the United States result ing in the good which it should accom plish? Many thoughtful men are an swering flatly and positively, “No”. Here, for example, Is the Honorable Bird S. Coler, a notable political leader in New York City, who in his recent book entitled “Two And Two Make Four”, denies outright that our educa tional work is promoting the welfare of the nation. He says in one place in his book, “The public schools in this country are not making for righteous ness. There is not an educator of any note in this country who has not ad mitted this. The metropolis of this country is thug-ridden. It has devel oped a nlw type of criminal^ a con scienceless. fearless young brute who murders for hire, and recognizes no moral accountability and no social ob ligation”. Mr. Coler attributes this re sult to the godliness of American edu cation, and he says “The relationship of the godless school to the growing vi ciousness among our people did not come to me as a religious .man but as a practical man, a public officer admin istering a municipal office”. Mr. Coler not only condemns the common schools because religious in struction is excluded from them; but he is even' more emphatic in his con demnation of colleges and universities which exclude Christian teaching. He insists that morality can not exist if religion perish, and that no sort of eth ical culture can take the place of posi tive faith; and deprecates the creation of “a great fund for such colleges as shall abandon Christ after having been founded in His name”. • However one may differ with some of the things which Mr. Coler puts into his book, his conclusion that irreligious education results .in immorality can hardly be denied. In this view he is supported by both philosophy and his tory. Historians and philosophers, in cluding even some sceptics, have reach ed the same conclusion. Thomas H. Huxley said, “There must be a ’ moral substratum to a child’s education to make it valuable, and there is no other source from which this can be obtained at all comparable with the Bible”. Vic tor Cousin asserted, “Any system of school training which sharpens and Strengthens the intellectual .powers without, at the same time, affording a source of restraint and countercheck to their tendency to evil is a curse rath er than a blessing”. So Archibald Al ison declares that the spread of knowl edge detached from religion depraves any people. He says “The reason of its corrupting tendency in morals is evi dent—wheri so detached it multiplies the desires and passions of the heart without increasing its regulating prin ciples; it augments the attacking forces without strengthening the resisting powers; and thence the disorder and li cense it spreads through society. The invariable characteristic of a declining and corrupt state of society is a pro gressing increase in the force of power and a progressing decline in the influ ence of duty”. Certainly our civilization shows many HUSBAND NAILED NDBBEN ONCATES Wife so Weak and Nervous Could Not Stand Least Noise — How Cured. ‘HOLY ROLLER” CASE HAS BEEN CONTINUED (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 5.— United States Judge E. T. Sanford ..ranted a continuance today in the cele brated “Holy Roller” case, in which Wil liam Bryant, of Cleveland, Tenn., la charged with using the mails to de fraud. Bryant, it is charged, victimized northern philanthropists, securing sub scriptions for his sec., but appropriat ing them personally. Munford, Ala. —“I was so weak and nervous while passing through the Change of Life that I could hardly live. My husband had to nail rubber on all the gates for I could not stand it to have a gate slam. “I also had back ache and a fullness in my stomach. I noticed that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound was advertised for such cases and I sent and got a bottle. It did me so much good that I kept on taking it and found it to be all you claim.

A Root and Herb medicine orig inated nearly forty years ago by Lydia E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass., for con trolling female ills.

Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman, and held in strict confidence. marks of such a declining state of so ciety. The increase of murder, divorces, and defalcations of every sort, points us to tendencies of the most unrestrained passion. The sense of duty seems to have dropped out of the lives of many of our people; and this lack of the sense of moral responsibility <is not ob served in the uneducated classes alone, or chiefly. Those classes who claim the highest culture show many of the most serious departures from common morality. They are educated, hut they neither fear God nor regard man. Some of them affect to lament the degradation of the slums, even while they are them selves practicing the vices which have led many thousands of fallen people into the slums. It is evident that we are not deriv ing from education all the good which it should yield. When popular intelli gence and popular immorality increase together, it is manifest that some ele ment of a proper education is wanting. That element Mr. Coler thinks is re ligion; and he is right. ‘Knowledge is pow^r", but power may be good or bad; and it te clear that in crease of knowledge with’ increased im morality is bad power. Impotent ignor ance is better than insurgent intelli gence. But the American people are not going to be content to live in ignorance, or to have their children grow up without education.

Wherefore it behooves all patriots to concern themselves about some way for imparting the indispensable t religious element in education which ls now conspicuously wanting. There seems to be no practical way of doing this ex cept by magnifying and strengthening the schools of the Churches. Our rich men should lay down on these altars their offerings for education. Both their duty and their interests should impel them to this course. Secular education is begetting all sorts of godless aspira tions find socialistic ambitions. Another twenty-five years of the kind of educa tion which has prevailed during the last twenty-five years will menace the very life of our social system and our free institutions. The Honorable Bird Coler is no alarmist and no pessimist. More over, he has been in position to ob serve the effects of schools thoroughly secularized. He boldly proclaims the conclusions to which his observations have led him. Let any man study care fully the facts of the case, and doubt less he will reach similar conclusions. Another thing needs to be said: Col leges which profess to be religious in stitutions must make good their pro fession. It is nothing less than edu cational simony for a school to feed, upon the Church, and claim a religious character, in order to secure the sup port of the Church, and then do its work in a worldly and godless way. Religious colleges must answer to the public candidly and honestly the ques tion “What do ye more than others?” It were better to have schools downright irreligious than to have hypocritical es tablishments which deny or dishonor the cause for which they were founded. FriecFFisK To-day; Cottolene is better than butter or lard for frying because it can be heated about 100 degrees higher without burning or smoking. This extreme heat instantly cooks the outer surface, and forms a crust which prevents the absorption of fat. ’Cottolene Fry fish with Cottolene and it will never be greasy,* but crisp and appetizing enough to make your mouth water. . * Cottolene is more economical than lard; costs no more, and goes one-third farther than either butter or lard. You are not practicing economy if you are not using Cottolene in your kitchen.
