Forty-five Daily Papers Printed
in New York City.
(From the New York World.)
How many daily papers do you think New
York reads in this twenty-fifth year of the
greater city? You’re wrong, f6r you’re think
ing only of those that come up on the dumb
waiter or that you see displayed on the stands
you pass between home and the subway. In
number there are twice as many published in
foreign langauges as theYe are in English,
thirty to be exact, and printed in fiftedYi of the
thirty-five mother tongues that go far toward
making New York literally capital of the
world.
The circulation of these foreign-language
dailies totals nearly 1,000.000. At the head'
of the list comes those in Yiddish, five of them
with a circulation of 390.000. Next comes the
two in Italian, reaching 175,000. The three
in German are third, with more than 110,000.
Two in Russian have more than 72,000, and
two in Greek, with more than 55,000.
In Slovenian, Slovak, Serbian and Croa
tian are five with a circulation of 55,000. Next
comes two in Hungarian with 47,000. Three
in Polish follow with 26,000, and then one in
French with 17,000, one in Bohemian with
12,000, and one in Spanish with 7000. Quaint
est of all the list are the three printed in Ara
bic, with a circulation of 9,000.
These newspapers are printed at strange
times. Some come out in the morning, some
in the afternoon, some at night. One boasts
that it is issued at noun. The time of publica
tion depends upon the chief industry in which
each one's readers find employment; the prin
cipal support of them all comes from the colo
nies to which the immigrant first turns.
“Hall of Fame" No Longer
Segregates Women.
When the seven new busts in the Hall of
Fame wer e unveiled this week, it was noted
that at last “fame” is to be accorded without
making a distinction in sex. Heretofore there
have been two Halls of Fame—one for men
and one for women. This thoroughly stupid
arrangement has now been abolished.
The busts which were unveiled last Tues
day were those of Gen. Robert E. Lee, Abra
ham Lincoln, Alexander Hamilton. Gen. U. S.
Grant, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Ward
Beecher and Frances Willard.
Dr. George Bolling Lee, a grandson of the
great Confederate chieftain, unveiled the bust
of General Lee, which is the gift of the New
York division of the Daughters of the Confed
eracy. Mrs. R. W. Jones, late president of
the New York division, made the presentation,
and the address was by Martin \\ . Litteton,
president of the Southern Society, of New
York. .
The Lincoln bust is the work of Saint-Gau
dens, and is a gift from the Union League
club. It was unveiled by Mrs. Mary Lincoln
Isham, granddaughter of Lincoln. The French
ambassador, Jules J. Jusserand, delivered a
tribute to Lincoln.
Miss Mary Schuyler Hamilton unveiled
the Hamilton bust, which is a gift from the
Alexander Hamilton Institute. It is the work
of the Italian sculptor, Giuseppe Geracchi. Dr.
Talcott Williams, of the School of Journalism,
delivered the address.
The bust of General Grant is by James
Earle Fraser and Thomas Hudson Jones, and
is to replace the one by the late Henry M.
Shrady, which was unveiled in the Hall of
Fame a year ago by Marshal J off re. The work
of Mr. Shrady was a small sketch bust from
which he intended to model a larger bust for
the hall, but this work was prevented by his
death. The new bust is the gift of a group of
citizens who were represented at the unveil
ing by Herman L. Satterlee. Major General
J. G. Harbord unveiled the bust and spoke of
Grant as a soldier. . .
Daniel Chester French is the sculptor of
the Emerson bust, which was unveiled by Dr.
Edward 1 W. Emerson, son of the p°ei anu
sage. The Authors’ Club of Boston, donors,
was represented by its president, Miss Alice
Brown, and other members. Dr. Henry Van
Dyke spoke.
Col. William C. Beecher, son of Henry
Ward Beecher, unveiled the bust of the fa
mous pulpit orator, which is the work of Mas
sey Rhind. The address was by the Rev. New
ell Dwight Hillis, Beecher s successor in Ply
mouth church, Brooklyn.
The Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union is the donor of the Frances Willard
bust, which is the work of Lorado Taft. The
unveiling was by O. H. Willard, a kinsman of
MiL Willard Mrs. Ella A. Poole, vice pres
of thi N.Sm.l W. C, T. U nrnd. the
presentation, the address being by Miss Anna
A. Gordon, president of the organization.

Sex Lure.
What qualities in women are most attrac
tive to a man? All women who are not inter
ested in this question may pass on and read
something else. What? You’ll stay? All
right:
Before us is a copy of a matrimonial pa
per in which thousands of lonesome souls ad
vertise for mates. While aware that beautiful
women are as numerous in America as flakes
in a snowstorm, we had no idea that there are
so many super-beauties until we began read
ing the lady-advertisers’ description of them
selves. Here’s a typical ad: \
Greenville, Tenn. —Am liberal-minded, and men
tell me I'm a wonderful pal. and sweet and womanly,
love the outdoors, am a beautiful girl, attractively
dressed at all times; aged 22, feet 6 Inches, 120
pounds dark-blue eyes, dark hair, fair complexion,
superbly formed, stenographer, Chistian, American,
wish to hear from men of education and refinement,
with matrimony In view.
Another modest young lady advertises:
Indianapolis, Ind.—Everyone seems to enjoy be
ing iivjny company and am told I'm very good look
ing; was wealthy, but met with reverses, so now
have only myself; am we(] educated, a nurse by pro
fession, age 30, height 6-7, weight 120, brown hair,
hazel eyes $ fair complexion, slender form; splendid
personality; American. If I nv.et the right man, would
marry.
Some of the ladies who advertise for hus
bands print their pictures, shrewdly realizing
that “seeing’s believing.” Striking an aver
age, the adversers* seem convinced that the
womanly qualities appealing most to men are
these:
Beautiful face. Attractive figure Clean
character record. Educated and experienced
enough not to be a dumbbell. Good pal, not
a nag, willing to let husband retain some of
his bachelor freedom.
It is characteristic of the young generation
that ability to cook, sew and otherwise keep
house are considered secondary by the adver
tisers.
Among the advertisers who have had ex
perience in the love lottery—widows—the
word “jolly” seems to be considered as much a
lure as “beauty.” Incidentaly, these experi
enced ones are almost unanimous in demand
ing that applicants be “sober and indus-
How about the woman of advanced years?
What can she ofFer that is alluring? Alas, a
perusal of the ads indicates they never get so
old but what they believe they still are beau
ties. An old lady of 72, craving a mate,
writes:
San Diego, Cal—At my ago, could not, marry a
man without means. Own my own home and do all
my housework, have one son with me at present; am
a widow, age 72, height 5-8, weight 175, hair Is silvery
white, good looking; pleasant and jolly disposition.
Have $7,000. Will exchange photos.
You’ll note she has a dowry. At least half
of the advertisers hold forth similar lures,
usually with the string that they will “inherit.’
The dowry, you know, is an ancient lure, most
men wanting to get by without working.—

World Grow* Older; Criminals
Appear to Be Younger.
Criminologists are seriously disturbed over
the recently growing tendency of wrong
doers toward a lesser age than was the case’
a half or even a quarter century ago. Recent
ly a county official declared:
“The average age of the criminal in Los
Angeles county fifteen years ago was over 41
—today it is less than 25.”
Then he asked the pertinent question, in
the light of these facts:
“What will it be in another fifteen years?”
Many who have thought lightly on the
subject, but still have thought, dismiss the
question by attributing present conditions to
the aftermath of a great war, with its exalta
tion of the militaristic spirit, its disregard of
human life and property, its attendant train
of unemployment and unrest and disease —in-.
evitable, unavoidable, but explainable.'
Yet this “explanation”—plausible as it
stems, and containing, as it does, a modicum
of truth —is not satisfactory to the citizen who
seeks to get beneath the surface- of things.
True manhood includes the ability to resist
unusual stress and a failure to do so indicates
a weakness somewhere in the character, rath
er than merely a change in environment.
The probe must go deeper and farther
back in the life in order to find the real reason
for the present condition of things. Marty of
the parents :f the rising generation have suf
fered a letting down of morale which has
communicated itself to the children. Evasion
of law. often in an attempted spirit of bra
vado, has permeated the nation.
Laxity in the training of children has
grown to large proportions, until often there
remains little semblance of control on the part
of parents in dealing with their offspring.
When a child ceases to respect the parents
there is little hope of seeing such respect in
regard to others far removed from the family
circle.
However, this is no time for pessimism
There are just as strong influences for good
in the world nose as there ever were. Great
opportunities in business may have for a time
clouded the vision so far as our children are
concerned, but parental love is still as strong
as ever. It will require merely a clearing
away of some of the “rubbish” of life which
has been unconsciously accumulating, when
the pure gold will again be apparent.
Present situation as regards youthful
criminals is serious, of course. It will require
a waking up on the part of parents in order to
bring about betterment. But, parents, it can
be done! The boy and girl now in the school
period must be shielded and not permitted to
become the teen-age criminal of tomorrow.
Meanwhile, efforts must be increased for
the reclamation and salvation of the 25-year
old wrong-doer of today. At that age life
should be a glorious adventure of the right
sort, full of visions of future worth and
achievement, rather than a dull, drab condi
tion of fellowship with the morally impotent
or repugnant. And to that purpose every
man and woman in the city and the nation
should bend his efforts for the next quarter
century, if need be.—Los Angeles Eveninz
Herald. *
THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA., JULY 5, 1923,
Hit the Nail
On the Head.
Thos. W Hardwick, in*his
farewell message to the Geor
gia legislature, hit the nail
squarely on the head, in our
humble opinion, when he gave
utterance to the following wor
thy sentiments:
“We have no room in Geor
gia for invisible government of
any kind or character.
“Government in Georgia
should be in the open and
above-board. I have no objec
tion to the existence of secret
fraternal organizations, whose
sole purpose and practice is the
cultivation of civic virtues and
social relations; but I do object,
with all of the force and em
phasis of which I am capable,
to any secret organization that
assumes to censor tHe conduct
of other persons or to sit in
judgement upon their actions.
Men who follow *uch pra
ctices are themselves the
worst of criminals, and strike
at the very foundation of all
government. They would
subvert the courts, and en
throne the mob.
“Men who are trying to
walk right, in the sight of
God and man, do not need to
cover up their faces, in this
state, while they are doing it.
“The general assembly of
this state should pass a statute
making it unlawful, under
heavy penalty, for any man or'
woman in Georgia to wear a
mask over their faces on the
public streets or the roads of
the state, or in any other public
place. <
“The general assembly
should also pass a law requir
ing every secret order in Geor
gia, Gentile or Jew,'Protestant
or Catholic, white or black, to
file with the clerk of the sup
erior court of each county in
which s,uch organization main
tains a lodge or local unit, a
full list of all the officers and
members of such local unit, a
and the list of officers and
members should be kept by the
clerk of the superior court for
purposes of inspection and pub
lic information, at all times.”

ANANIAS GAY.
Clifford Gay is his real name,
but he is known as Ananias be
cause he is believed to be the
chajnpion liar in existence. I
must qualify this seemingly
brutal statement by saying that
he specializes in a brand of ly
ing that is strictly harmless. He
is a traveling salesman, weighs
about two hundred and twenty
pounds, dresses in an immacu
late, fashionable manner, and
there is not an ounce of him
that is not one hundred per cent
good nature-
Everyone takes it for granted
that Ananias must lie; in fact,
his acquaintances would be bit
terly resentful if he failed to
live up to his reputation, for he
can tell one with such a solemn
expression upon his jovial
countenance that it is a joy to
give ear unto him. He fools and
injures nobody, and is a prince
of good fellows. When he tells
a lie about anyone, it is always
strictly in the nature of a joke,
and no one enjoys his stories
more than his victims them
selves. To tell the truth, to re
fer to Ananias as a liar is not
strictly the truth, itself, for he
fools no one, and he knows he
is not being believed. He sim
ply spreads sunshine by fol
lowing the line of least resist
ance. and makes a virtue out
what would be a vice in another
One of his favorite stories is
told by him on Lawrence Smith,
the cashier of the Jogville bank
as well as a deacon in the
church. Ananias says that he
attended divine service at the
church wherein Deacon Smith
was an officer. Ananias says
the deacon met him at the door,
srave him a hearty grasp of the
hand, ushered him to a com
fortable seat, and, in substance,
said as follows:
“Brother Gay, I am delight
ed to see you out this beautiful
morning, and I trust that you
will enjoy the services, and de
rive much good as a reward for
your attendance.”
Then obtaining a song book
and placing it in the hands of
Ananias, he said:
“I hope that we shall have
the pleasure of your attend
ance again. It is a pleasure to
give you a hearty welcome,
and” leaning over and speak
ir*£ in a confidential whisper, I
sincerely trust that you will not
forget the fifty-dollar note,
signed by yourself, that will
mature at the bank next Tues
day.
Ananias may be a liar, but
he is a cheerful and a harmless
one. and that his tribe may in
crease is the general wish of all
who know him.

JUL.Y FOURTH, MASONIC CELEBRATION
Fremasonry a Dominating Force in Revolu
tionary Days.—AH the Leaders Masons.
Independence Day is celebrated through
out the Masonic world as a Masonic festival,
not only because the great principles of hu
man rights for which the fathers fought—
liberty, justice, equality, popular sovereignty
—are distinctively Masonic, But because the
foremost leaders in the struggle for freedom

The magnificent Masonic memorial to
Washington now being erected at Alexandria.
Va., is a noble tribute to the Great Emancipa
tor, who at one time presided as Master over
a Masonic lodge.
That patriarch of liberty, popularly
known as the Father of the American Revolu
tion, Samuel Adams, was a Mason.
Patrick Henry, whose fiery eloquence
swept the Virginia House of Burgesses into
line, belonged to the Craft.
Paul Revere, whose midnight alarm arous
ed the Middlesex farmers, was at one time
Grand Master of Masons of Massachusetts.
Robert Newman, who hung the signal lan
tern in the old North Church tower in Boston,
was a member of the Fraternity
General Joseph Warren, one of the first to
give his life for liberty and in whose memory
Bunker Hill Monument was erected, was at
one time Grand Master of Masons of Massa
chusetts.
The first Continental Congress was com
posed largely of Masons. In fact, the state
ment has been made that with fiv e members
absent the Congress could have opened as a
Maosnic lodge. Peyton Randolph, the pre
siding officer, was Past Grand Master of Vir
ginia. John Hancock, who succeeded him,
and whose signature on the Declaration of In
dependence stands out boldly so that. The
King of England could read it without spec
tacles,” was a Mason.
Benjamin Franklin, whose statesmanlike
sagacity, irresistible personality, and rock-like
character, added force and power to the Rev
olutionary cause, was Past Grand Master of
Pennsylvania. _„ r , .

Sam Jones Has a Would-Be Visitor
The crank is a singular piece of creation.
The obscure are safer from his violent intru
sions than those-who become noted. Garfield
was killed by one, and every president has
been besieged, more or less, by them in their
wild peculiarities.
It will be wonderful if one as noted as Rev.
Sam Jones should be free from their atten
tions. Mr. Jones has no doubt met many in
his movements over the continent, but a
unique case, certainly, was the fellow who
came to Cartersville Monday to see the Rev-
Sam, and “get satisfaction” for an offense ex
iting only in the individual’s brain. On the
morning train he came, and began inquiry for
Mr. Jones. Mrs. Jones being in her carriage
near the depot, the man went to her and told
her his mission. He told her Mr. Jones had
called him a thief, and he wanted satisfaction.
That he had written him, but that he would
not retract what he had said about him, and
he finally came to see him. • Mrs. Jones told
him Mr. Jones was away from home. He
then said he would go toiler home and remain
until he returned, as he must see him
Mrs. Jon(js had the mayor and marshal no
tified, and the man was watched and told not
to leave the depot until the first train, which
he must board, or be locked up. The man
obeyed, but rather sullenly.
The man, who later proved to be J. F.
Risse, was arrested shortly afterwards in At
lanta. He is a German citizen, and is said to
be a victim of the wildest delusional insanity.
Fcr nearly five years Risse has been firmly
convinced, he says, that Mr. Jones was en
deavoring to ruin his character and his fam
ily. Mr. Jones replied that it was all a mis
take, but the deluded man looked upon the
disavowal as a subterfuge, which only
strengthened his belief, that Mr. Jones was
persecuting him

ens bathed the earth in golden hues. Oh, it
was a pleasant scene! Such a scene as we
often read of, but seldom see. We thought,
if earth can be made to look so beautiful, how
glorious will Paradise appear.
Anthony Wayne, Light Horse Harry Lee, who
in honor of Washington coined the phrase,
first time flung Old Glory to the breeze from
of his countrymen”—read the roll of the men
whose names are forever glorious as com
peers of the Immortal Washington, the great
majority of them were Masons.
Lafayette has been quoted as saying that
Washington never gave his confidence to any
of his generals unless he knew them to be
Masons.
The infamous quartet of major generals
whose treachery, ingratitude and selfishness
jeopardized the cause of the colonists were
not Masons: Lee, the traitor of Monmouth;
the contemptible Gates, continually plotting
Washington’s downfall; the arrogant adven
turer Conway; the conspirator Miflin.
General John Sullivan, the liberty loving
Irishman, was Grand Master of Masons of
New Hampshire.
General Joseph Reed-, who w T as offered
$50,000 and the best post in the British gov
ernment if he would turn traitor, cried, in
dignantly, “I am not worth purchasing, but
such as I am, the King of England is not rich
enough to do it ” —Reed was a Mason.
John Paul Jones, recognized by all com
petent historians as the father of the Amer
ican navy, whose splendid heroism is the in
spiration of America’s youth and who, for th e
first time flug Old Glory to the breeze from
the mast of his ship, was a devoted Mason.
John Marshall, our first Chief Justice, and
the greatest jurist ef the world’s greatest tri
bunal; Alexander Hamilton, the founder of
our national monetary system, and the su
preme financial genius of our early govern
ment; Haym Salomon, the Polish Jew of Phil
adelphia, who gave all told $658,000 to the
cause of freedom, ail were members of the
Craft.
So runs the story. Wherever Masonic
lodges meet this week and next, tributes will
be renderedjto the heroic men, members of
the mystTc tie, who in the days that tridd men’s
souls gave freely, and some to the uttermost
sacrifice, to the principles of human freedom.
Many lodges bear the names of these famous
Masons of Revolutionary days, and this is a
custom worthy to be widely followed.
The Masonic apron in all ages has been the
symbol of liberty, justice and human rights.
