THE CHAPMAN AFFAIR
Numerous articles and editorials have appeared
in the press of the country touching on the' escape of
Gerald Chapman from the federal penitentiary in
Atlanta and later from a local hospital where he. was
confined as a patient. Probably the most ludicrous
nf all the newrpaper accounts comes out in editorial
form in a paper published in Brooklyn, N. Y-, called
the Standard Union. We quote in full:
Georgia Sport
Perhaps to some minds there may seem to be
a mystery in the continual escapes of Chapman,
the robber, from whatever places they put him
into down in Georgia. On the other, hand, some
people wonder why they keep putting him back
again. Perhaps the answer is that after letting
him have a run and shooting him, they put him
back somewhere for a little while in order to
start another run.
In some states they have laws against putting
pigeons in a box, pulling a string and then shoot
ing at the pigeons as they fly out. It was thought
to be inhumane; so clay disks have to be sub
stituted for the birds.
Could not some humanitarian society take an
equal interest in the case of Chaprqan? First
they put him in the federal penitentiary at At-,
iapta. Somebody let him out from there and
there was fine shooting for a while. When they
brought him down they put: him in a federal hos
pital at Athens. Twice the trap has been
sprung from Athens. Each time’Chapman came
whizzing out as if propelled by a spring. Once
he was winged and brought back. The second
time, they have not retrieved him yet.
After a while they will, use up Chapman. No
man can last indefinitely serving as the pigeon
in the Georgia variety of live-bird trap-shooting.
A better way would be to use clay pigeons for
shooting in Georgia, and keep New York bandita
and other federal prisoners locked up until the
president pardons them out.
People of intelligence in the North will place no
odetice in articles of thia kind and we will not
crodeticc in articles of thia kind i
dignify it with a reply. .
While discussing this matter we i
i discussing this matter we might say that the
' blame for the escape of Chapman (that is, if he has
really escaped) rests on one agency and that alone.
That agency is the branch of the U. S. Government
having in charge the confinement of criminals.
The local hospital accepted this undesirable pn-
i tient as a .matter of accommodation to the federal
• - authorities. Chapman was received in th“ hospital
with the distinct understanding that the hospital au-
' thorities wouid in. no wise be responsible for him.
One man was employed by the government to do a
ten day .watch over him, twenty-four hours a day; a
physical impossibility apparently to any man of or
dinary intelligence.
Certainly the experienced officers of the govem-
' ment knew'that one man on continuous duty for two
hundred and twenty-four hours could not prevent
the escape of a criminal as cunning and daring ns
Chapman is reputed to be. He was surrounded with
every condition to invite an easy escape.
Chapman stole a million dollars in cash and con
vertible securities from the government No part of
this monoy has been recovered. It is reasonable to
suggest that Chapman is now bclhg trailed by fed
eral detectives, having in mind that Chapman will
work his way to the place he has secreted the securi-
ties and government sleuths will then effect the
capture of Chapman and the recovery of the securi
ties? At any rate we can entertain, for the timo
being, this rather charitable view of the whole affair
and await developments.
MAKE IT UNANIMOUS
The Australian ballot law would be cither a good
thing or a bad thing for the whole state of Georgia
to adopt If it is a good thing for a single county, it
must be a good thing-for all the counties in the state.
It is a noteworthy fact that many counties in Geor
gia are now recommending through the action of their
grand juries the adoption of the Australian ballot
law.' »
. The law becomes effective in a county only when
two auccessive grand juries have approved its adop-
tion for operation in that county. A number of years
} ago the grand juries began to,recommend the secret
ballot aa conducive to clean elections. This was a
step in the right direction. On the same line, the
grand juries arc now going on record as favoring a
better election law. Nothing can be said against
clean elections and all is to be said in favor of them.
But the law should be uniform throughout the state,
, not clean in one county and foul in another. Several
'counties have already adopted the Australian ballot
law and arrayed themselves on the side of pure elec
tions. But there are a large number of others yet to
come.
Women voters and their national organizations
_ arirproperly showing intense interest in our foreign
relations. They should be on guard, however,
against cunning politicians who might keep their
attention too much abroad, .not enough at home.
Foreign affairs are very important, ladies. Give them
a fair share of your time. But don’t forget that the
most important situations needing your housecleaning
are right.here at home—child labor, minimum wage,
prohibition grafters,'better schools and others of a

My Dear Gen. Headquarters:
My husband was induced into
the BU**face long time ago, I ain’t
received any pay from him since
he was gone. Pleaso send me my
elopement as I have a to re-months
old baby and he is my only sup
port. And I wed it to buy food
and keep us enclosed. I am a poor
woman and all I have is at the
front. Both sides of my parents
are very old and I cannot suspect
anything from them as my mother
has been in bod thirteen years. Do
I get any more than I am going to
get'! Please send me a letter and
tell me if my husband made appli
cation for a wife and child and
please send me a “wife” form to
fill out. I have already written
to the presidcirt and got no ans

I will write to Uncle Sam about
you and him. Yours truly.

As • reminder—Thursday
will be Memorial Day and
those who own lots in the
“City of the Dead” should aee
to it that they are cleaned from
grass and beautified with flowers.
Oconee cemetery could be made a,
most attractive spot by the spend-1
ing of a small sum and. if at any
time it is to be improved, certain
ly it should have attention for
Memorial Day. Those in charge of
the cemetery will, no doubt, dq
their part and those who own Iota
we feel certain will co-operate in
the movement to beautify this sa
cred resting place of the dead.
Florida is all stirred over
the convict system now in
vogue and it Is believed that
the legLiature will abolish the
lease system. An investigation is
now being carried on by the legis
lature of the unmerciful and bru
tal beating administered to Mar*
tin Tabert. North Dakota youth
who was serving a sentence Jn a
lumber camp in that state. If re-,
>orts are true, the whipping boss
s guilty of mutder and nothing
short of tho hangman’s noose
should be administered to him. Not
only Tabert’s case, but many oth
ers have bce.i brought to light of
a criminal character and brutali-:
ty. Leasing convicts by tho state
1s wrong in principal and should
be abolished. Georgia took an ad
vance step when the lease system
was abolished and now those who 1
are serving in the gang receive
humane treatment. The opposi
tion of Governor Hardwick against
the use of the lash irt this state
was another humane advancement;
in the conduct and control of the
convict system and one which
should be adopted and carried out
for all time to come. While it' is
not wise to discontinue punish
ment in the convict camps, yet
such punishment should be admin
istered in some other form than
by the use of tho lash.
