4 dramatic criminal lawyer.
By John T. Boifeuillett, in Atlanta Journal.
Some Far Eastern writer said: “Ev
ery man is as God made him.
The late John Randolph Cooper, of
Macon, the notable criminal lawyer
was a picturesque type; “none but
himself can be his parallel.
In his early years he was as poor
as poverty," familiar with privations
and no stranger to hardships. But
his will was indomitable, his energy
was untiring, his heart was brave,
and his spirit as free as the winds
that blow over the fields he plowed m
his bare feet. .
Born on a farm and reared in the
open, he was strong, healthy, vigor
ous. “He labored like an ox, but
through all his struggles and trials
and discomforts there shone the in
extinguishable light of a character
illumined by ambition. He read and
ctudied in the glow of burning pine
knots, when the other members of
the household were asleep, and thus
obtained quite a supply of useful in
formation.
On Wings of Ambition.
Cooper was determined to succeed
in some other channel of activity than
that of a cotton furrow. He resolved
to get out of a plow trench. He pos
sessed a serene confidence in his fu
ture. He was firm of conviction. He
exclaimed:
“Oh Abner, I fear God, and nothing
besides.”
His voice rang true. Cooper left
his plow in the row, and went forth
upon life’s sea, heir to no estate ex
cept a good name and sturdy virtues.
Marabeau said of Robespierre.
“That young man believes what he
says; he will go far.” The same might
have been said or predicted of John
R. Cooper. He finally reached the
University of Georgia, and in that
great institution his first distinctive
success was as a sophomore declaim
er at commencement exercises. The
large and cultured audience thun
dered its applause upon the aspiring
youth. The man and the hour some
times meet. And so it was with the
farmer boy from Gwinnett and that
eophomorical occasion. Cooper’s dem
onstration of remarkable oratorical
of Cooper in court. My frequent laud
atory mention of him aroused the
envy of some of the other young, and
perhaps brightly, members of the
bar, and one of these gifted and as
piring attorneys said to me, in quite
a resentful tone: “Why are you con
stantly writing about Cooper and
never say anything regarding me?”
I replied, “Because he deserves it.
Whenever you justify words of praise
I gladlly will inform the public.” I
heard nothing more from him on the
subject.
Cooper Was a Tree Lance.
My sympathies were with Cooper,
■who was struggling for a foothold,
which he finally got, and held it fast
and firm, until suddenly stricken
down a few days ago by the hand of
death, with the spirit of battle on
his lips, and in the plenitude of his
powers.
Cooper was a free lance in the legal
gifts was entirely unexpected by the
assembly of applauding auditors.
Beneficiary of the Brown Fund.
Mr. Cooper completed his course at
the university, and also graduated in
law there. He attended the university

as a beneficiary of the Joseph E.
Brown fund, wihtout which assist
ance he would have been unable to
obtain a collegiate and legal educa
tion. .Very soon after he commenced
the practice of his profession at Ma
con he repaid the money that had
been advanced him from the Brown
fund. In fact, I have heard that Mr.
Cooper returned the amount more
promptly than any other person who
had been the recipient of the fund.
When Mr. Cooper began the pur
suit of his profession at Macon I
was conducting the Evening News in
that city. I was aware of the hard
ships he had experienced in his early
years, and the obstacles he had over
come, and it was always a pleasure to
me to give him publicity in the col
umns of the News to any appearance
arena, tilting against any comers.
He scorned quarter from any gladia
tor. He hurled defiance at the great
est intellectuals he encountered in the
courtroom. The argument of an op
ponent had no more effect on him
than “a sprinkle on a fish.” He dis
comfited numerous attorneys that
had theretofore been victorious .in
many legal battles.
Cooper and Napoleon s Lieutenant.
Cooper made innumerable rich fees,
but did more pauper practice than
any lawyer of whom I have ever
heard. He got just a little closer to
a poor man than another, !ew at
torneys in this day and time have
defended so many alleged criminals
and few have obtained so many ver
dicts for their clients. Sometimes
when I have seen Cooper in action I
have thought of what Napoleon said
of his celebrated lieutenant: “In the
midst of the dying and the dead, and
of balls sweeping away those 'who en-.
circled him, Massena was himself,
and gave his orders and made his
dispositions with the greatest sang
froid and judgment. It was truly
said of him that he never began to
act with skill until the battle was
going against him.”
Cooper never followed the course of
the great Kentucky advocate. Clay
gave up criminal practice, so 1 have
read, because of his success in de
fending persons accused of murder,
not one of whom was convicted when
Clay appeared in his behalf. It is
said that Clay once remarked: “I
fear I have saved too many who
ought to be haged.”
The Spain Incident.
Cooper was representing a man in
Bibb superior court that was charged
with murder. He wanted a witness
who resided in Alabama, that he
considered highly essential to the
defense, but the judge trying the
case would not issue a subpoena for
him to appear because he was a citi
zen of another state. Cooper’s client
was convicted and sentenced to death.
The case was appealed by Cooper,
and finally reached the supreme court
of the United States.
In this exalted tribunal Cooper
pleaded that his client had been de
prived of his legal rights, the due
process of law, in that the lower
court had refused to have the Ala
bama witness brought to Georgia,
whose presence and testimony would
have cleared the defendant.

Mr. Cooper: “Suppose this person
living in Alabama had lived in Spain,
do you claim that the court would
have the authority to send to Spain
for him ?”
Cooper, trembling all over with
emotion, his face red as the setting
sun, and both arms waving on high,
exclaimed in thundering tones that
reverberated throughout the corridors
of the capitol:
“Spain! Spain! Who is talking
about Spain? lam talking about
America and one flag.”
Associate Justice Shiras threw up
his hands, and fell back speechless in
his chair.
His Word Was His Bond.
I was told a few days ago by an
official of the United States district
court at Macon that Mr. Cooper’3
promise was regarded as pure gold
by the officers of that tribunal. If
he asked that some defendant-client
of his, who might be at work on the
farm, be not arrested, and that he
would have him at court on a certain
day; or that imprisonment be not im
posed in lieu of inability to furnish
bond for appearance at court, Cooper
never failed to fulfill his agreement
in the matter. He regarded his word
as sacred, and the officers of the
court had absolute confidence in any
personal assurance he made. John
R. Cooper regarded truth as the es
sence of the highest manhood.

PASTEURIZED MILK.
Pasteurization is nothing new, yet
it has not been fully understood and
appreciated in certain cities and locali
ties. It has passed the experimental
stage and has been advocated in the
United States for more than thirty
years. New York, Chicago and other
large cities enforce pasteurization of
all milk except grade 1 or certified
milk. In smaller cities pasteurization
Is recommended and in many cases
the milk is required to be pasteurized
or be produced by tested cows under
inspected conditions before such milk
is allowed to be sold within said
cities. Practically all physicians rec
>mmend it, and especially is this true
in prescribing diets for patients who
need the most wholesome food ob
tainable.
In pasteurizing milk it Is heated to
a temperature of about 145 degrees
Fahrenheit; held at that temperature
for 25 minutes and cooled quickly to
a temperature of 40 degrees. By this
method of treatment the possible dis
ease producing bacteria present are
destroyed and the milk is left in a
safe and wholesome condition. This
treatment is the cheapest and the
only safe insurance to be had in
avoiding the possible spread of infec
tious diseases through milk.
The value of milk as a food is well
known. In fact, it is nature’s best
food, and when it is made safe it may
be regarded as the only perfect hu
man food. It contains the different
food dements in proper proportion
for normal development and is essen
tial for infants. Until they reach the
age of from five to seven months they
cannot digest anything dse. Milk is
rich in vitamines and mineral matter
and Is especially valuable in furnish
ing the essentials so often found short
in diets not including it.
The average person always wants
to be on the safe side of everything
and practically all persons prefer not
to take chances on their health. The,
average person carries insurance on
valuable property which is in danger
and on his life as a pro lection to his
family. To be careful in selecting a
diet which supplies the needs of the
body is advisable, and it is also ad
visable to insure such a diet against
possible infectious diseases.
Under existing conditions there :'s
little pro-spect that milk producers
will ever be able to prrovide proper
barns and equipments for insuring a
supply of safe raw milk. It is to be
doubted also, even if such provisions
were made, whether the general pub
lic would be prepared to reimburse
the producers for the cost involved.
Safe raw milk produced under such
conditions would cost so much that
only rich people could afford to buy
It. This is not intended as a crit: ris/n
of nature. Nature’s way of using
milk as a food was to have it trans
ferred directly from the producer to
the consumer without exposure. We
have changed this plan and are re
sponsible for contamination due to
exposure in handling and delivering
milk and milk products. It is left
with us, therefore, to handle these
products in the most satisfactory
manner possible and deliver them in
a safe and wholesome condition. Un
der present conditions this can be
done by pasteurization.
Our large slaughter houses are
provided with United States govern
ment inspectors for the purpose of de
tecting diseased animals and protect
ing us from getting unwholesome
meats. After this special care is
taken, most of the meat produced and
sold it cooked before it is consumed.
Milk is even more widely distributed
than meats, and it seems advisable to
provide inspection for it wherever
possible. In addition to the inspec
tion so highly desirable, milk should
be pasteurized to insure safety.
