The Herald is mistaken in Its pri mary statement, and the same mistake has been made by others. Governor Brown Is a lawyer—was regularly admitted to practice J*ear* I ago. and could take up law as a ■ profession after the end of his term in the governorship, if he so desired. He never has engaged actively in the prac tice of law, however. Gordon Lee will be unopposed for congress Not even the Bull Moosers. said at one time to be contemplating the idea of running somebody against Lee, will protest his unanimous election for a fifth term. • W. McClure, of Atlanta, head and front of one wing of the Roosevelt party in Georgia, was in Rome the day Mr. Lee was renominated, and had a chat with the congressman. H* told Mr. !.»*■ that the Progressive Republi cans in Georgia would not oppose him. "I heard down in Atlanta," said Mc- Clure, "that we likely couldn't beat you. anyway!" Mr. McClure, however, expects to give the Woodrow' Wilson electors a big run for their money in Georgia. Colonel Dan Fogarty, dressed all In white linen, after the fashion of Au gusta folks at this season of the year, breezes into the governor’s reception room this morning, and shed the sun shine of his presence around and about most engagingly. "How do you manage to come all the way from Augusta and never get even one speck of grime or dirt on a suit of clothes like that, Dan?" inquired John T Boifeuillet, who was present. "Well, ' smiled Fogarty. “I suppose it Is an art. although we Augusta folks think we just come by it naturally. "It Is accomplished by not trying— that’s all. You simply don your rega lia, step aboard the train, sit down carelessly, forget that you have on linen rags, take things easy, and you will arrive in Atlanta as spick and span as if you had just stepped from a band box. You see. don’t you, John?" “Yes, I—don't!" said John, who is some dresser himself, moreover, and likes to pick up sartorial information a* he goes along. Then Fogarty went in to see the gov ernor, and in a minute or two the gov ernor signaled Jesse Perry to cut off the electric fan in the executive of fice. as between it and Fogarty’s breezi. ness the governor was afraid of catch ing Ills death of cold. William Schley Howard, of DeKalb, congressman from the Fifth, spends much of his time nowadays in Atlanta. The gentleman from the Fifth is very sanguine of Wilson’s election, and has the "dope" always ready and willing wherewith to convince the most ob streperous Doubting Thomas in the world. "Wilson will win in a walk." said Howard today, “From everywhere the same information comes to the cam paign committee. He will sweep the nation, carrying heretofore Impregnable Republican strongholds.” T ARMY ORDERS WASHINGTON, Sept. 18—The fol lowing orders have been issued: First Lieutenant Elsworth Wilson, medical reserve corps, from Fort Hua chuca, Ariz., to Benicia Arsenal, Cali fornia.

I was converted from a vision into at certainty at a banquet at the Piedmont hotel la«t night, when more than SIOO,- 000 In gifts was announced. Directors were elected and plans begun for active work for the university, which will be ali-Southern in scope. Those present represented the first 100 gifts of SI,OOO or more each. Most of the donations ran to $2,000. while one person whose name was withheld has promised $25,000 and perhaps $50.- 000 to the fund. Secretary Thornwell Jacobs announced that an institution with an endowment of $650,000 already has taken up the question of amalga mation with the new Oglethorpe. It was decided to extend the scope of the university to the whole South and six teen states will be asked to co-operate in its building. George W. Watts, of Durham, y. C„ a well known philanthropist, was elect ed president of the board of trustees. Senator Hoke Smith was named vice president. C. E. Graham, of Greenville. S. C., second: H. K. McHaarg, Stam ford, Conn., third, and L. C. Mandeville, Carrollton, Ga., fourth vice president. John K. Ottley was made treasurer of the board and Rev. Thornwell Jacobs secretary.

Secretary Jacobs, who presided, an nounced that 55 acres of land on Peach tree road, running back to Silver Lake, had been made a gift to the university by the Silver Lake Park Company, William Owens, president, and C. H. Ashford. Perpetual right to the use of the lake is guaranteed. To avail them selves of this gift the incorporators must begin actual construction by May 1. 1913. and expend SIOO,OOO within the first year. The movement to found a new insti tution of learning which shall carry out the Ideals and perpetuate the name and memory of old Oglethorpe unlver-* sity, long defunct, has been given en thusiastic support by many well known Piesbyterians in Georgia. It is now assured that a university, long needed by Atlanta, will be built in a few years. A vast amount of ill health is due to Impaired digestion.

Right is common sense. Sodom suggests hideous vice. Capernaum was famous for its beauty, wealth and culture. Notwithstanding, Jesus said that, in the day of judgment, it would be more tolerable for Sodom than for Capernaum. The reason is common sense. Capernaum had had better opportunities to know what was right than Sodom had, and rejected them. Nicodemus, like many another so-called eminently respectable citi zen before and since, did not dare to come out openly for the right. After sunset, he sneaked through the shadows of Jerusalem’s streets to see Jesus. Much of that prominent citizen’s pride of position must have oozed away in the night, when he heard Jesus say : “This is the judgment, that the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.” Jesus voiced only common sense. Vice honestly viewed in the light can not live. Hence the desire of some for silence with reference to the social evil and the Houses in our Midst. Honest study, knowledge kills it and them. Apply sincere thought to the facts. Nothing more is asked or expected of you. Until they investigated, some of the members of this Executive Com mittee believed in segregation. Today, they are as one in asking the suppression of these houses ille gally protected by the police. The members of the Chicago Vice Commission were: Dean Walter T. Sumner, William Healy, M. D., Judge W. M. Phinckney, W. L. Baum, M. D., Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin, Alexander Robertson, David Blaustein, Rev. Abraham Hirshberg, Julius Rosenwald, . Rev. J. F. Callaghan, Prof. Charles R, Henderson, Louis E. Schmidt, M. D- Anna Dwyer, M. D., Rev. E. A. Kelly, Bishop C. T. Schaffer, W. A. Evans, M. D., Rev. John G. Kircher, Hon. Edwin W. Sims, Rev, Albert Evert, Louis O. Katz, Edward M. Skinner, Rev. Dr. Frank Gunzaulus, P. J. O’Keefe, Prof. Graham Taylor, W. W. Hallman, Judge Harry Olson, Prof. Herbert L. Willett, Prof. William J. Thomas, Prof. Wm. I. Thomas, Abraham W. Harris, LL.D., Hon. John L. Whitman. At the first, many of these believed in segregation. After investigation they were a unit in recommending the suppres sion of the houses. The members of the Minneapolis Vice Commission were: Rev. Marion D. Shutter, Prof. John H. Gray, Nicholas C. O’Connoo* Eugene T. Lies, Prof. David H. Painter, Charles M. Way, Rev. Father James McLeary, Herbert 0. Collins, M. D„ Gilbert L. Byron, Judge Edward F. Waite, Max P. Vander Horck, M. D., Stiles P. Jones, Edward J. Davenport, Mrs. Mabel S Ulrich, M. D., Mrs. Mary L. Starkweather. At the outset, the majority of these were opposed to trying to sup press the houses. The chairman, a minister, says in their report: “The chairman has yielded the theory which he had on becoming a member of this commission to the overwhelming evidence which he dis covered against it.” Like the Chicago Vice Cftmmission, without a dissenting vote, they recommended the suppression of the houses, declaring the public houses of prostitution the center of the evil, the market place for the white slave trade, and “the source of most of the loathsome disease which afflicts so ciety.” New York’s Committee of Fifteen had the following members: Wm. H. Baldwin, Jr., Wm. J. O'Bryan, Jacob H. Schiff, Felix Adler, Alexander E. Orr, Andrew J. Smith, Joel B. Erhardt, . George Foster Peabody, Charles Sprague Smith, Austin G. Fox, George Haven Putnam, Charles Stewart Smith, John S. Kennedy, J. Harren Rhodes, Edwin R. A. Seligman. They put the emphasis upon the enforcement of existing laws. They recommended the punishment not of the women, but of the men higher up who live upon their shame. Many of the members of the Chicago, New York and Minneapolis Committees were and are men of more than national reputation. Their attitude before and after study is significant. But more so are developments in France, cited by many from hear say as a model for the scientific handling of the social evil. Scandals in connection with their systems caused the French Parlia ment to appoint an extra-parliamentary Commission of 75 members. Among them were legislators, doctors, prefects, mayors, publicists, and professors of political economy. Their sessions lasted three years. At the start, those in favor of abolishing the whole French system as a failure were in the minority. The force of their arguments and the facts presented by them was such that at the end of their deliberations the Commission voted by a considerable majority that the entire system of regulation as practiced in France was so defective and on the whole so immoral that it ought to be entirely abandoned.” They recommended that all ‘‘tolerated and licensed houses” be pro hibited. r Not yet has their report been adopted by the French Parliament. Like America, France is cursed with not a few politicians to whom protecting the virtue of girls and the health of their country is nothing in comparison with the importance of keeping their masters pleased. But all the great chiefs of the medical faculties and all the import ant heads of hospitals have now become converted” to the views of the Commission. The adoption of their report in the end is inevitable. In Ameiica, the nation wide fight against men living by buying and selling women is being led by David Starr Jordan, President of the Le land Stanford University; His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons Very Reverend Dean Walter T. Sumner, Dr. Charles W. Eliot President Emeritus of Harvard University; Julius Rosenwald, of’ Chicago; Miss Jane Addams, Dr. 0. Edward Janney, of Baltimore, and others who are officers and directors of the American Vigilance Association, the object of which is to stamp out houses of prostitution and the white slave trade. Consider and choose! Such men and women on one side with God. On the other are the pimp, the procuress, the corrupt politician, the landlord and other criminals with Satan. Where do you belong?
