Here is little Dorothy DeLeon, who is mighty gltitl her papa is home once more after the
I strangest of trips.
Family and Companions All
Eager to Aid Builder Who
Vindicates Their Faith.
By Evelyn Wren
In these days when pedantic people
cry that commercialism rules, the fas
cinatingly interesting ease of Moise
DeLeon, the Atlanta contractor, stands
boldly out and gives them the lie. If
tin much-repeated wail that friendship
is a virtue buried with the last century,
if the claim that man has forgotten that
all men are his brothers are true, the
Moise DeLeon case is a striking exam-
I pie of “there’s an exception to every
rule.”
The "kick - him - when - he’s - down"
I spirit, which we are all too prone to
I believe exists universally, has never
I appeared since DeLeon appeared, since
j he awoke in a sailors’ hospital in the
| Antipodes, since he returned to take
| his place as the head of his family and
j re-establish his business. But the
| “helping hand" has been extended with
■ all the fervor that the receptive hand
inns given when the contractor was a
I newer in Atlanta'.- financial world.
A Story That Tells
Os Good Will to Men.
DeLeon'.- home-coming reception is a
; tiling to make all the world feci het
i ter. It's *t story that tells that the
“good-will-to-men" spirit of the ap
! prottcliing I’hristmas is not an empt_.
j thing, but a vivid realism. “Mans in-|
; humanity to man" ha- no place in its
I narrative. |
DeLeon disappeared, and there was
I im question in the mind of Ills loyal
' wife. From the first Mrs. DeLeon de
i elated and believed that something un
foreseen and something that could not
be prevented had happened to her hus
band. and it was only a question of time
I before he returned to bls family and his
business. Her joy was unbounded when
I she was told he was safe in Sydney,
j Her weieome was profound when the
I shadow of the once aggressive, eonfl
dent Atlantan e im< home a nervous
wreck.
Ami the faith oi' his children was
sublime. Never for a moment did they
I doubt that their father would come
j home. Through the weary months of
j waiting, every foolstep on the sidewalk

la tnes.-age to them that soon the la-
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1912.
miliar footfall of their parent would be
heard on that same pavement. And
when he did come in Thanksgiving
night, what a Thanksgiving day it was
for those children! The father had been
kind, had been lavish with the little
ones in his days of health and pros
perity. And when he returned broken
in strength and ‘in fortune they en
deavored to repay him with the lavish
ness of their love.
All His Friends
Remained Loyal.
Then comes the feature that should
make every man have greater confi
dence in his fellows. A wife is natur
ally loyal. The love of a child is nat
urally the parent’s. But business men
arc supposed to be hard, sordid people,
who think only of money, who know no
such word as friendship, who can think
only in dollars, who are willing to
crush a man when his fortunes have
fallen.
When DeLeon disappeared, though,
this spirit was conspicuously absent!
His interests were large. His absence,
made them involved, but the men whose
dollars were threatened raised no wail.
They expressed their confidence in the
missing man. Then oly took legal steps
to protect him.
When he returned they rushed to the
front to tell him that every opportunity
would be given him to retrieve tbe for
: tune that had been affected by his ab
sence. And they assur ’d him of their
aid in every undertaking.
DeLeon's lie-ti I must hat e leaped
high when he was told that his reputa
tion bad suffered nothing from his ab
sence; that his affliction had caused
only sympathy and hope that the dark
days were destined to be few.
There are those who scoff at fraternal
orders. It is too frequently said that
the men who take these oaths know
that they are meaningless when they
pledge themselves.
Justifies the Faith
Os His Friends.
Again the DeLeon case comes to givi
it the lie. When news of his disap
pearance was- first received the Elks of
Atlanta instituted a world-wide search
for their brother. When he came back
thej gave him every fraternal greeting.
When fiiendless anil alone in the far
off Sydney hospital It was the fact that
he was a Mason that gave DeLeon con
stant friends instead of suspicious
st: angers It was the fact that he was
a Mason that enabled him to borrow
funds to hurry bat k to his waiting wile,
to Ills loving ciilldfeii.
ARMY AVIATORS SETTLED
IN AUGUSTA WINTER CAMP
AUGUSTA, GA., Dec. 3.—The United
, States army aviators have at last set
tled dowm to business, after working
for a week unpacking their aeroplanes
and other paraphernalia and assem
bling their machines at the hangars of
the winter camp on the Barnes farm.
Lieutenant T. DeWitt Milling was the
first of the aviators to make a flight.
Within the next few weeks a half
dozen monoplanes of the Moissant make
will arrive, and a strong effort will be
made by the Moissant people to sell
their machines to the government.
DOCTOR, ARRESTED IN
VICE. CRUSADE. GUILTY
OMAHA, Dec. 3.—Dr. B. Prebbenow,
arrested November 20 in a country-wide
vice crusade for misuse of the mails, will
serve 45 days in jail. He was sentenced
by District Judge Munger after he
pleaded guilty. He is 67 years old, and
was granted clemency because of his
feebleness.
NICKEL MAN TRIED TO
REGAIN COSTS HIS LIFE
ST. LOUIS. Dec. 3.—Joshua Gerry, 52
years old. died at the City hospital after
being unconscious for 84 hours from the
injuries suffered when he fell from a
Hodiamont car as he stooped to pick up a
nickel that fell to the platform.
780-POUND WOMAN DIES:
WAS LARGEST IN WORLD
MONTREAL, Dec. 3.--Justine Massen,
said to be the largest woman in the world,
is dead here. She weighed 780 pounds,
and had been insane several months.
It’s a wonder story, and when some
cynic tells you of the commercialism of
the age. when he tells you that man no
longer loves man, but only dollars, just
mention the name of Moise. DeLeon. He
can have no' better answer.
And the most impressive part of the
story is that all this loyalty of wife,
love of children, faith of friends was
not misplaced* As their faith told
them, DeLeon has returned. They are
sure he will make good. They know
lie will be, as he has always been, loyal
husband, loving father, faithful friend.
It is the duty of every Atlan
tan to vote in tomorrow's city
election.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
William Charles Adamson, of the
Fourth Georgia congressional district,
will stand prominent in Democratic
<
councils under
President Wood
row Wilson.
As chairman of
the powerful house
committee on in
terstate and for
eign commerce, he
inevitably is a
member of great
influence and au
thority. as the
congress is organ
ized today: and
under a compact
Democratic ad
ministration. all
the way through
from president to
the house of rep
resentatives, he is
destined, of course, to become an even
more important factor in national leg
islation in Washington.
Mr. Adamson on March 4 will begin
his ninth term in congress, and he
shares, therefore, with Congressman
Bartlett the honor of being the oldest
member, in point of service, on the
Georgia delegation.
Mr. Adamson’s committee on inter
state and foreign commerce is inti
mately associated with the construction
and prospective regulation of the Pan
ama canal, ano, next to the president
and the secretary of ivar, he will figure
most prominently in the Opening of- the
canal. ‘
Under the leadership of Judge Adam
son, the interstate and foreign com
merce committee’s most important bill
was passed by congress last year, ac
tually as written by the Adamson com
mittee, over the protest of the senate
committe on Isthmian canals. The bill
was designed to break up and avoid
in the future the practice of railroads
owning and operating ships on waters
whereon ships ought to compete with
them. Its object, of course, was to
foster competition in freight rates and
to prevent monopoly in canal com
merce.
Judge Adamson’s committee also put
through, within two weeks after it was
demanded by tVie Democratic national
convention In Baltimore, a strong pub
lic health bill, which gives the Federal
government wide authority in the mat
ter of sanitary control throughout the
nation.
Tlie next important piece of legisla
tion that the Georgia member expects
to put through the house is a bill pro
viding for the physical valuation of
the properties of all common carriers—
a measure that has been demanded by
the intertsate commerce commission
continuously for twenty years, but
which never before has reached any
thing like its present stage of advance
ment.
Judge Adamson is entirely unostenta
tious. He is known as a working con
gressman—a hard-working congress
man at that —and he delivers the goods!
It would require a search warrant
from a source of very high authority
to find in Georgia a greater friend of
the common people than is Thomas G.
Hudson, late commissioner of agricul
ture.
And then, in all probability, the
searcher wouldn’t find him.
Tom Hudson holds the common peo
ple right jam up close to his heart of
hearts—he never forgets that he is hold
ing them right there. He sits up nights
thinking how much he loves them, al
ways has loved them, and always will
love them!
Hudson visited the agricultural de
partment today, and had a look in on
his former field of activity.
Fie viewed J. J. Brown's manly form.

and sighed. He peeped in on Commis
sioner Conner, and sighed some more.
And then he said: “It makes me
sadder than I can say to see you fel
lows here, playing politics, while I am
out mingling with the common people,
and just loving them—that’s all—just
loving them!"
“The —the underworld—that’s accord
ing to the new Bible—you say,” was all
Brown would reply.
And Conner wouldn't say anything at
*all! He ”jes’ laffed.”
Those misguided ones who labor un
der the impression that the Bull Mose
party is defunct in Georgia, or that it
has ceased its activity, are mightily
mistaken.
There is a big Bull Moose movement
on in the Adairsville district of Bartow
county, and the prize contended for is a
justice of the peaeeship.
The fight is a three-cornered go, and
the Bull Mooser is running on his own
party showing, while the other two
candidates are splitting the Democratic
vote.
In these circumstances, the betting is
that the Bull Mooser is to win tho
plum.
Governor Joseph M. Brown is in
Richmond attending his third national
convention of governors.
The Georgia executive believes that
the "house of governors,” instituted by-
President Roosevelt, may be—and has
been, in many instances — made a power
for good iil these Ufctted State®, and
he never has missed a cont3re nc ® called
during either of his administrations.
The governor finds it a greater satis
faction to deal with an executive of al)”
other state, known to him personally
and associated with him in one of these
annual conferences, than to deal with
one a perfect stranger. Moreover, the
Georgia governor thinks that the meet.
Ing of the “house of governors” tends to
keep alive the doctrine of state’s rights,
in which he. like his distinguished
father before him. ardently believes.
In accepting the original invitation
from Governor Mann, of Virginia, who
will be the host of the visiting gov
ernors, Governor Brown said that he
“might” bring his daughter, Miss Cora
Brown, along with Mrs. Brown and
himself, this year. Promptly by return
mall he received a “command” front
Governor Mann to do that very thing!
On Saturday the governor, with al!
the visiting governors and members of
their families accompanying them, will
be the guest of President and Mrs. Taft
at the white house in Washington.
It was entirely characteristic of the
late Joseph M. Terrell, twice governor
of Georgia and some time United States
senator, that in arranging for the dis
tribution of his modest fortune after
death, he should so have fixed things
that three of the more prominent edu
cational Institutions within the state oi
Georgia should come in for a generous
share of it.
The dominant note of his two admin
istrations as governor was education
of the masses —the proudest achieve
ment of his five years In the governor
ship was the institution of the eleven
district agricultural schools in Georgia
Governor Terrell's will provides for
eventual legacies of 15.000 each to Mer
cer, the Tech and the Normal and In
dustrial school at Milledgeville.
Joseph M. Terrell began life as a
farmer lad. He came from between the
plow handles to the governorship. He
knew’ the people of Georgia, and he
grieved that national statistics for a
time put Georgia so high in its per
centage of illiteracy, as compared with
other states. He set about lifting that
pall of illiteracy in such wise as he
might—and into the great beyond he
carried this compelling and noble ideal.
It takes eight long hours to affix the
great seal of the state of Georgia to
certain documents.
That is one entire working day—and
what real good purpose the great seal
serves that might not be served without
it. nobody knows.
It gives a state document a more or
less Impressive appearance, perhaps,
but beyond that —why the great seal of
state anyway?
