ATLANTA LAWLESS CITY, DECURES JUDGE
DANIEL IN 6HAR6E ID MONROE 6RAND JURY
Flint Circuit Jurist Attributes Disregard of Laws to
improper Training in Homes and Schools—Con
trasts Atlanta With Winnipeg, Canada.
According to the statement made
in his charge to the Grand Jury at
the opening of the February term
of Monroe Superior Court on last
Monday, Judge R. T. Daniel con
tends that the people of this coun
try have little regard for law or
respect for authority. The reason
for this he believes to be due to the
fact that our children are not prop
erly trained in the homes and
schools. In support of his asser
tion, he compared Atlanta with
Winnipeg, Canada. Said the
Judge:
“I never saw or appreciated the
power and benefit of the proper
training of children in obedience
to authority as I witnessed last
summer in Canada.
“I was in Winnipeg attending a
large Convention. There was a
parade in which 15,000 persons
participated. There was estimated
to be on the streets about 50,000
persons. The sidewalks were pack

vast number of people the city au
thorities, instead of tying a rope
from post to post, and having a
large number of extra policemen
to press the crowd back, simply
laid down a rope on the sidewalk
about twelve inches from the edge,
and, in a drive of about three miles
through that great crowd, I never
saw a man, woman nor child step
over that rope.
“What a wonderful exhibition
of obedience to authority, respect
for law! These people from child
hood had been taught to obey, re
spect authority. They had been
told one time that they must not
step over that rope in reviewing a
parade, and that was sufficient.
“Tvfro years before, that same
TO HELP WOMEN EMPLOYEES
That every shop girl and woman
employee in Georgia has a statu

when she is not working, and that
her employers must provide her a
chair or bench for the purpose, is
the substance of a ruling by Com
missioner of Labor btanley, which
will probably affect a large num
ber of department stores in Geor
gia and other industries employing
girls and women.

The inspectiou of the Jackson

the officers as well as the local
company.
The boys, rigged out in their best

convention met in Atlanta. About
the same crowd of people in num
ber were on the streets. Large ropes
had been tied from post to post to
keep the crowd back. An extra
number of policemen were on duty,
and yet the crowd ran over the ropes
and the policemen in such a man
ner that the carriages could hardly
get through the streets. Now, what
|is the result? The people of At
i lanta have no respect for law or
| authority, and the city is reeking
, with crime, 55 homicides having
been committed there last year.
The people of Canada respect law
and authority and there are few
crimes.”
