Colonel Saffold Thinks Mrs.
Flanders’ Trial Will Clear
Condemned Physician.
•Joionei Prank Saffold. of Swainx
boro. one --f Di McNaughton « attor
neys, talk* .1 most intereatlngiy today of
the famous poisoning case, and the di
rection t’> be given it by the prison
board, after having heard the plea for
executive clemency.
< 'olonel Saffold said
"All we ask is justice for Dr. Mc-
Naughton. and we are gratified beyond
measure that the prison board is to
recommend tha - the doctor he respited
until his alleged accomplice can be
tried, and that th* governor is to lend
a favorable ea: to the recommenda
tion
Dr McNaughton can not he guilty
of poisoning Fred Flanders. unless the
woman Jointly Indicted with him also is
guilty If the state can not convict her.
It must have erred in convicting the
doctor. Her trial will throw a bright
and illuminating light on the Mc-
Naughton case It tnay—and 1 believe
will—clear the doctor absolutely of all
suspicion of crime
"Dr. McNaughton should be kept
alive at least until after the trial of
Mrs. Flanders, in order that he may tes
tify. if necessary. In the case against
the woman. We realize that we have
lost the doctor's ease In many courts,
hut we invariably have lost on techni
cal points of law, and not on the facts.
It is for Just such cases that the rem
edy of executive clemency Is provided.
"The prison hoard and the governor
will be rendering the state, which
stands for exact and impartial justice,
a high and patriotic service tn insisting
that McNaughton be not executed, in
any event, until hfs alleged accomplice
in crime who never has been called to
account, and who is now at large on a
paltry $2,000 bond, has been convicted
or acquitted."
It is understood in view, of the di
rection to be given the McNaughton
case by the prison board and the gov
ernor. that a strenuous effort will be
made to call Mrs. Minnie Flanders to
trial at once —possibly within the next
two weeks
If there Is no violent opposition to
that, and her trial may be brought
about without further delay, the famous
McNaughton case tnav be. at least,
nearing its end
In any event, the doctor will not hang
so long as the rase against the woman
Is pending in the courts.

“THE BLUE PRINT CITY"
By MRS. W. L. PEEL.
Once in an Eastern city a man asked
his friend whom he was going to vote
for. out of several candidates. "1 don't
know." he said, "but I thank God I
can't vote for but one of them."
There are just
i.
two kinds of men
and women in the
world —the effi-
cient and the in
efficient. There is
one universal call
for the efficient
in church, in phi
lanthropy, in all I
business concerns
—most of all in
civics. With ig
norance and inca
pacity at the helm,
no city can pro
ceed. No citizen
is too small to as
sist in process of
trying to help
things along.
Road this story
While men are trying to eradicate
graft and protected vice from New
York, Philadelphia and other great
cities, the example of Virginia Brooks,
of West Hammond. Ind., should not he
overlooked.
Miss Brooks is only a girl in her
twenties, who inherited property In
West Hammond. At the time she was
a resident of Chicago. In looking after
her inheritance she discovered that the
assessment was very high and went to
see about it. She was soon on the
trail of graft. The 5,000 inhabitants of
the town are nearly' all poor people,
most of whom have an imperfect
knowledge of English, and the grafters
found them easy marks. Practically
single-handed and alone, the girl be
gan to investigate and soon found that
thousands of dollars were being taken
annually from the taxpayers. Vice and
gambling were protected and flourished
on the main streets; the town was
overrun by saloons; the white slave
traffic was in full for<;e. and generally
the place was not only "wide open,"
but the bosses were reaping the profits.
Girl Elects Reform Mayor.
Miss Brooks made her first trip to
West Hammond only about a year ago.
and yet recently, through her efforts, a
reform mayor and aiderman were
elected, and a vigorous attempt is going
forward to clean up the town. Through
letters to the Chicago papers and by
other means this young girl has gone
forward in a task that many strong
men would have hesitated to undertake.
Best of all, she is winning out. We
need a Virginia Brooks in every city In
tho land
The first thing behind any great
movement must be public opinion—
never sea demand for men will
create men. Never yet was there a
great occasion, a great opportunity but
some hero arose to fill the place de
signed for him.
People sometimes ask: "What leader
have we got?" And the answer is—
any number of successful captains of
industry, men of ability, high-minded.
God-fearing, who are only waiting for
the call. The Chamber of Commerce
has a great opportunity and a great

Funds mentals are accepted rules that
have become reconciled by mutual
agreement. No question is understood
thoroughly until the for and against
are heard
It is difficult to define truth, because
truth to one man may not be truth to
another, and yet both may be right. It
is- the same with wrong However,
there are two universally recognized
spirits in this world that are diametri
cally opposed to each other. They are
called Good and Evil. Whatever their
source may be we- shall not attempt to
explain. It is sufficient for us to know
that they are here.
Power of Good and Evil.
<>n the side of Good we find right
eousness. justice, tolerance, knowledge,
love and happiness. On the side of
Evil there are ignorance, superstition,
intemperance, misery and selfishness.
The individual who rubs against the
destructive forges and overcomes them
with Good grows stronger with every
stroke. The one who forsakes the voice
of the conscience grows weaker.
Now, some people argue that certain
evils have prevailed since the days of
Moses, and will ever prevail. Not so.
Nothing is done as it was in the days
of Moses. The world has progressed
Science and religion have come to the
rescue, and by the force of an enlight
ened public opinion we restrain our
brother from harming himself—in a
way that, like a. pebble cast in a pool,
would leave an ever-widening circle of
misery, harming others also.
We congratulate the gentlemen of the
Chamber of Commerce they have
taken the affairs of our beloved city in
hand —as the whole city is stirred by
recent events. Let’s eradicate the old
landmarks and have a new, clean, beau
tiful city rising again like a Phoenix—
a blueprint city, with lines drawn and
definite plans made for all time, that
even the women will approve of.
And can you guess what the blue
print man will do the very first thing?
He will take in the whole of Fulton

“The Churches in Our Midst” r
- -
“1 Know That in
Ignorance
Ye Did It.”
-Acts 3:17
The Churches in Our Midst are not in politics.
Their Committee, the Executive Committee of the Men and Reli
gion. Forward Movement, is not in politics.
Therefore, believe no man who tells you that this organization, as
such, is supporting any candidate for office.
It is not; it will not.
But this Committee and the Churches to which it owes its life will
keep before you facts which are vital.
Prior to the action of Chief Beavers in closing the houses and end
ing “protected vice” in Atlanta, Mr. Woodward now a candidate for the
office of Mayor, stated publicly that he was in favor of a policy of
strict segregation.
/
The other candidate, Mr. Chambers, made no public utterance in
this connection other than a general statement that he favored the
enforcement of the laws of Georgia.
Neither candidate has made a public statement, since the action
of Chief Beavers, with reference to him and his position.
Chief Beavers, as an honest man, had no alternative.
•
The simplicity of the ordinances of the City of Atlanta makes the
existence of protected vice impossible in the city, so long as the chief
of police regards his oath of office as superior to the clatter of poli
ticians.
Neither candidate iur the office of Mayor of Atlanta has stated
that he will support Chief Beavers in doing his duty, as it is set forth
in the Code of the City of Atlanta.
Why is such a statement necessary?
An Atlantan, who knows the world and the history of reform
movements, one not in sympathy with this Committee, when he heard
of the action of Chief Beavers, said:
“An honest police official could have done nothing else, but it
means the end of the chief. You crazy reformers forget. You urge a
man to do his duty, then go to sleep and leave him with the bag to
hold. The people back of these houses never sleep, never miss a trick.
In less than two years, when you church folks are chasing another
fad, the chief’s head will be taken off. They won’t strike openly now.
But watch the line-up. They will get him!”
The cynic is mistaken. ~~
This will not, can not happen in Atlanta, if the men in it are
awake and watching, not for.some great explosion in which to rush
amidst tumultuous applause to the rescue, but for every movement
in the leaves of the political jungle.
The snake in search of its prey, scarcely stirs the grass and leaves.
Be on your guard and crush its head.
This city and the men who owe an eternal debt to Chief Beavers
will never tire, will never sleep.
And those who persistently demanded that the chief do his duty
can not, with honor, knowingly support for public office any man or
men who, for political reasons or otherwise, deliberately refuse to pub
licly pledge themselves, if elected, to support him in his present course.
The question is one only of law and honesty.
Chief Beavers did not make the law which forbids the existence
of these houses.
His oath requires him to enforce the law, which leaves to him no
discretion.
Shall a man, solely because he regards his oath as sacred, be con
sidered such a character that men running for office in Atlanta dare
not publicly say that they approve his honesty and obedience to law
and pledge themselves to back him and all other such officials?
Keep cool.
Think of the significance of such a situation.
More is involved than appearances. " '3®
The hour is critical.
Without fail, Sunday, go to your church and pray for God’s guid
ance of people and candidates.
Neither candidate has declared himself.
We ask that they do so unequivocally.
Atlanta should and will indorse a man who does his duty with
out fear.
