Page Four 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 it) This Week sussr.

And as the tig iceberg moves, the little cutter broadcasts warnings, telling ships to keep away. That’s a sign of civilization. Mr. Le Boutillier is president of «he Long Island Railroad.

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.

We can’t afford it. They CAN’T So much the better for peace. The learned M. G. Kyle, on be half of the Xenia Theological Sem inary of Missouri, has carefully and scientifically explored that pari of Palestine 'around the "Lowe* Dead Sea. and announces discovery of the location of Sodom and Gomorrah. Some graves there date back to Abraham. The discovery should fully confirm the Bibical story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, says Mr. Kyle. First it’s the jaw bone of the missing link. You’re told the gorilla is your cousin. Then comes proof of Sodom and Gomorrah, and you are comforted and so is the gorilla. In the Sing Smg death bouse, where murderers are kept, lives Mrs. Annie Buzzi, convicted of killing a man named Schneider. She has appendicitis, so a first class surgeon will operate on her, and endeavor to save ber life for the electric chair. That reminds you of the little boy scolding bis sister for killing a big bluebottle fly. H# wanted to kill the fly himself. If Mrs. Bnsai had killed no one and were living at home she might die of appendicitis forty times, foe all great New York 'State would care. Bet when she’s sentenced to death If* different. She mast not flpeD that plan 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.

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. D. G. SULLINS, Animal Husbandman.
