The Menace of the. Dime Novel.
While the effort to victimize one of the fcadftig business men of
Atlanta by the method of extortion peculiar to the Black Hand lias been
nipped In the bud by the vigilance of the detective officers, the Incident,
nevertheless, furnishes an excellent text for sermonizing upon the pernl-.
clous effect of the dime novel. i
The subject may be a trifle frayed at the elbows, but the circum
stances of this particular episode bring It home to us In a manner which
is somewhat startling; and we can not resist the Inclination to point the
moral.
It seems that the author of this foul plot to wrest from Mr. Asa G.
Candler the sum of $35,000, under the lash of threatened assassination, Is
a youth, of beardless face and of handsome figure. At least the self-con-
festetr (Jerpetrafor of thd crime, who Is today under arrest, .tollies with
this description; and the appearance which be presents behind the bars
-Itt prepossessing. He la not a lad upon whoso forehead Is stamped the
brand of the criminal. His features tell of gentle rearing. Hla parents
are pious people, who, both by precept and by example. hRve trained'
him In the fn'lth of old John Wesley; and the evidence shows that ho was
not only 111 the habit of treading the religious paths but was a member of
Mr. Candler’s Sabbath scliool class.
Emphasis Is put upon -this fact not for the purpose of casting the
least reproach upon religion, but to show how a boy of the’ very purest
and best Instincts may be ensnared by the vile literature of tho day.
The downfall of young Daniel Johnson was wrought by the dime
novel. ’* .
'Every detail of tbe’sensatlonal story goes to show that he was a boy
of correct habits until his brain was fired by the Incendiary exploits of-
piatgphfDlck. ■ . • , . . V! . if
."Why, I suppose f. ha.vo read a million," said 'he, In boyish exaggernl-!
tlon, speaking of the number of paper-back novels which he had liter
ally devoured. '
And no wonder he was Incited to the raab act. \
In the feverish delirium which was wrought by this constant Indul
gence In-the penny dreadfuls, ho fancied It easy enough to extort a for
tune from his wealthy Sabbath school teaoher; but he awoke from his
dream of riches to find himself behind the bars of the police station—
hla good namo besmirched—hla old father and mother disgraced.
Tho bold extent to which the boy was carried by his mad Infatuation
Is shown by tho fact that even after writing the letter which was de
signed to entrap his friend and benefactor, he had the temerity to at
tend Sabbath school and to hear bis teacher’s exposition of the lesson.
It U wel | for the moral, which this unhappy affair teaches that tlje
' youttiwA detected In tt e very act'of pdrpetratlng hisev0 deed, .' ’ |
Let It be a 1 warning to other boys. •
We would blast If we could the vicious Industry which Is yearly
blighting this country with, tho flood ot paper-back novels. -They, are
breeders of disease, compared with which the gegns of smallpox and yel
low fever are harmless. They are text-books In human depravity, which
ought to be outlawed. They are Incubators of crime which ought to bo
suppressed. ,
But since they 'are here wo can only entreat the youth whose feet
are In danger of the pitfalls to profit by the sad experience ot this-boy,
whose Incarceration for crime la a signal which says “Beware!”
Not Suicide, But Murder. ; * 7 . ii ■ i ' , ‘

I9(^0s fdqath at McRae, Ga;, last Sunday night by the rash act of the sui
cide have been abandoned In the light ot conclusive evidence, which
points to the work of on assassin. I
The fact that this Is not the first, but the sixth, murder which has
been committed In connection with the famous Dodge land case, which
haa been the bone ot contention for years, Is calculated to open the eyes
' of the people of this state to a condition ot affairs which Is fast making
Georgia simply notorious.

Dr. Brown on Compulsory Education.
Dr. Elmer Ellsworth Brown, United States commissioner of educa
tion, la to apeak on "Compulsory School Attendance'' at the meeting of
the Southern Association of College Women, to be held In Atlanta next
Tinirii&iy;afternoon, April IS. . ' \
The address will be delivered in tho smaller auditorium of the Audl-
tor|pra-Armofy (ljilldlng,. oo Gilmer-st,, . ] r '[\ *
’ u This distinguished 'speaker, who will bo present for tho meeting ot
tfift association ami for’the conference for education In the South, has'
chosen this subject by request ot the college women of this state, and tho
widespread Interest which la felt In this public question will make the
discussion of great popular Interest and value.
Few questions affecting education bore roused more popular Interest
than this problem of reducing illiteracy by protecting the community
against the criminal Indifference of parents.
That Georgia’s millions spent each year on dducatlon have made so
painfully small a.reduction In her comparatively great Illiteracy has been
the subject of much recent comment.

COLUMBUS DAY
By WEX JONES.
C OLUMBUS was a mariner at
whom the people grinned
When h*» said by sailing westward
he could reach thv. shores oflnd.
But Columbus was a sticker, and he
talked the queen of Spain
Into soaking nil her Jewels for his trip
across the main.
Then he left the land behind him where
familiar stars had shone,
A greater star to follow and to go
where none had gone.
He sailed along for ages, tha his sailors
muttered, "Back!
The bats are in your belfry and'your
wheels are off the track.”
"Oh, no,” Columbus said, "my men, 1
hear an awful shout;
It seems to me that MatthewAon must
have struck Hans Wagner out.
We must be near America." And as he
spoke the loom
Of that undiscovered country was ypot-
ted thru the gloom.
The deed was clone. Columbus had
. given to the old
A world all new, and bursting with
helrejcsea and .gold.
Canned beef and steel and cotton,
divorces, laws and graft -
Timber, Rough Riders, cocktails, and
suffragettes and Taft.
Jferettf the dhafing school;boy hasn’t
tho.ught Columbus much;
He fhbught most any ohe'could ramblo
Into continents and such;
But now the name Columbus, he greet*
with loud hooray'— . /;
He’» discovered the discoverer haa

We Iharn.frem parties living in the
neighborhood that a certain man In the
Eltabelle district, who had more of
the stuff called “moonshine" than ho
cared to keep for his own use, decided
that he would tell tome of It He let
the fact be known and late In tho
evening a buyer called and procured a
quart. About dark another party came
along who wished to procure a little of
the same medicine, but when they went
to the place where the ten-gallon keg
had been left It had disappeared. AI
mule and buggy were tracked away
from the place, hut the “moonshine" at
last accounts was still mlsslnr.—Meigs
