GIVE Tilt PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT
Council should go slow in spend
ing the people's money for some-1
thing the people don't want. It
money is spent to widen Candler
street, then the host result for the
‘expenditure of the people's money
should actuate council. 'The re
"Wioving of that eyo-9ovo at the cor
ner of Church street and 1 ig lad al
ley is of more concern to the resi
dents of this street and the citizens
generally than the simple widening
of the alley. Council well knows
what the people want, .and what
they don’t want. Then what is the
■game it is'playing? Was the reso
lution passed and the sticks placed
iu yanls along Candler for the pur
pose of raising a howl and delaying
this needed improvement. tan- i
dler street should Ik* widened, and
the corner at the MeKlroy lot round
ed off in a deeend shape. If coun
cil means business it should go ahead
with the work with an eye-single to
the public weal Fix the street as
it should bb fixed, and if any citi
zen is damaged, pay the bill. All
have agreed to the improvement as
outlined by the street committee
when in session at the corner some
weeks hack, except the estate of
Aunt Polly McElroy. No one agrees
to the widening of the street as con
templated by council, except one
individual who may or may not be
interested only as a public servant.
If council makes the improvement
as desired by the residents of the
alley, a half million dollars will he
pledged to insure the city against
damage. What will you do, gentle
men? The people want the corner
rounded? One man objects. W ill
you serve the people or will you
obey the one man?
[HE ASTOR DIVORCE.
Commenting on the ease and soe
nry with which the Astor divorce
secured in N w N ork last week, 1
John Temple Graves, in 'The York
American, write-:
“Not one line of publicity shone
upon the process. Not a day of un
necessary waiting. No journey to
distant states. Not even the pres-
cnee of both parties seemed neeea- |
aary to the suit. The lawyer of one j
great party and the lawyer of the j
other great party meet in a tra-nquil,
quite conference and agree upon the
terms before an almost unnecessary
referee. They meet the judge,
l as it were, upon the wing. Ah a
bow from the plaintiff s attorney and
bow from the defendant’s attorney,

ing his stately robes to solemnize
the surgery of broken low, sets his
naive- to one paper, then to another
p ; i P■, hows his final apology owr
the ‘necessity of detaining for a
moment’ the eminent attorneys,
who ‘had to catch a train,’ and
those twain, who had once been
nobly one, were for all time to come
distinctly two strangers to each
other- ’’
To this indictment of the courts
of justice, The Syracuse Herald
adds:
“The granting of a decree of ah
solute divorce to Mrs. John Jacobs
Astor under conditions of the dark
est secrecy has invited attention to
what is apparently a serious lapse
from the impartiality of justice, to
the advantage of rich offenders
against the mavrige contract. Ihe
New York World Cites seven cele
brated divorce cases of tne same
description which have occurred
during the last two wars cast sin
which a mystery surrounded all ;
the proceedings until a dissolution j
of the marriage tie was pronounced.
In th<* Astor affair not even the
beginning of the suit was noted on
the public records. Everything
connected with it was literally a
‘sealed book.’
‘"lt is opposed to public policy to
relieve the culdable parties to di
vorce actions of any penalty save
the bare announcement that their
marriage contracts have been judi
cially annulled. There is no reason,
reconcilable with the social welfare,
why the way of the transgressor
should be made easier in this de
partment of wronaajoing than in
others. And apart from all this,
there is something radically amiss
in any judicial system which favors
the rich, as the expensive facilities
for preventing publicity do in di
vorce procedure ”
The North Georgia Conference of
the Methodist church is now in
session in Atlanta. Bishop Hen
drix, of St- fiOtiis, Mo., is presiding
over the conference.
The American Federation of
I„al>or went on record at 'Toronto,
Can., yesterday as determined to
light to the last for the right to
boycott. If isth is free America, why
shouldn't [ spend my money with
whom 1 please-
Ileniv Watterson, the veteran
editor of tin* Louisville Courier-
Journal, says newspapers are drift
ing more each day toward sen
sationalism. Si>me of the Ameri
can papers can't drift much further
and come under the pure food law.
The automobile is revolutionizing
the method of hunting wild game
in Western Kansas. No true sports
j man now starts on any kind of a
1 hunt out there without an auto-
The old way of hunting from a two
j horse spring wagon is entirely too
slow now.
Winder is the best town in north
east Georgia. If you don’t believe,
