Steve Ryan, the broken Atlanta mer
chant, is in jail, and may remain there
-during his life-time.
The charge upon which Ryan was
-committed is one of contempt of court,
iuasmuoh as be refuses to deliver to the
duly constituted receiver of the defunct
business the sum of $120,400.79, or in
substance his refusal to disgorge for the
benefit of his host of creditors this com
paratively small amount of his ill-gotten
wealth, which was directly traced to his
possession by the expert employed in
the matter.
It is time that such fraud and robbery
should be checked by law, for If there
was ever a systematically arranged and
shrewdly perfected plan of theft, it was
that of Steve Ryan.
More richly does he deserve the con
vict’s garb than the professional cracks
men, who with his pal holds a revolver
to the head of ttie trembling cashier and
forces him to open the bank safe.
Raised amid squalor and vice these men
have become familiar with crime and
hold os naught individual rights But
when a man deliberately sots about for
the sake of sudden wealth to tarnish a
fair name, hoping to escape the conse
qtiences of his iniquity through legal
tesbnicalitics and the power of his
fraudulent ilches, trading upon the
confidence of those who havo trusted
him, swindling indiscriminately friends
and foes alike, then he should even he
brought below the level of the common
thief, who desperate and distrusted of
mankind, goes boldly forth and plies hi,
trade.
Judge Clarke, in his refusal to enter
tain the petition of Ryan's attorneys de
serves and will receive the praise and
honor of all who hold integrity and hon
esty as essential in the counting room as
in the pulpit.
It wm moved one day last week, in
the House of Representatives, that ex
Speaker Reed be allowed to select his
seat in the ball without the usual for
mality of drawing for It. This notion
was bitterly opposed by a Southern
member upon the ground that such
thing as courtesy to the opposition was
a foot unheard of during Czar Reed’s
ruling. The Democratic members were
not only subjected to the grossest un
fairness of rule during the last term,
but often to absolute insult. Therefore
why show to him a delicacy of feeling
which be by his action has shown him
self utterly Incapable of appreciating.
His occupancy of tbo speaker’s chair
was one continual course of tyrnnyand
abuse of power, aod such a courtesy as
the one proposed was one which would
never have suggested itself to his nar
row mind had the position of affairs been
reversed.
Another crank lias called on Ur.
Sago In Now York and pleasantly Inti
mated his Intention of visiting uttor and
complete annihilation upon the premises
If his modest demand for 82,500 was not
complied with Instanter. 7 his time he
called at tho millionaire's home and was
plnckily ejected by Un. Sage herself
Hereafter the house will be constantly
guarded. This business la becoming

Georgia editor should keep himself con
stantly surrounded by a brave and trusty
body-guard, admitting no stranger to
within bomb-throwing distance of bis
person until he has been thoroughly
searched for hidden explosives.
•‘Peace on earth, good-will to men,”
was the burden of celestial soog years
ago, and down through the Intervening
ages it has come to ns in all its beauty,
love and glory. Let your hearts expand
with affection for all. Grasp your ene
my’s hand with a hearty pressure and
meet him half-way in reconciliation.
Look leniently upon yonr neighbor’s
faults, and try to see thst you yourself
are not perfect. Remember that He
whose birth is commemorated by the
day gave His life to save those who
sought His destrnctioii.
Suoci.ii it happen that Judge Crisp’s
physical condition will preclude the pos
sibility of his being able to come home
during the holidays, the disappointment
In Americus and throughout Southwest
Georgia will be intense. His people
here have looked forward with glad an-
ticipation to the time when they might
assemble to do honor to the worthy suc
cessor of the iDustrious IIowcll Cobb,
and. give to him the homage due his
loyalty and fidelity to the beet Interests
of the state and people he so nobly rep
resents.
