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 ' , ‘ .id .'l^l.lhslrles to the effect that Pope S.

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.

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. ---• Hfforts-of-the State Federation of iVqmea'e Clubs, the stato D, A--R-. tU° SWte.CoHegarfjWoijion.rthe United mugnterejJf fhq uonfetfetfey. 1 the ■MkM? ‘Wdmcirl'UliHatfirf ’fcUpbraiKjq' .Unlqn, tjwt yorth ; Georgia , Moth- odist Cpnferancer.thb stall*''Federation of Labor, the state section of'the United American Mechanics, the farmers of the state, and a Host of other organizations are now being concentrated upon the passage of a com pulsory school attendance law, such as nearly forty of the leading states now have.

' 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.
