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 both frequent and serious and evei^r 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.
