I made it a rule never to drink any thing at all during the day while on these trips and rarely anything at any time What I did take on such trips was invariably on the advice of my phy sician. who always accompanied me. Attorney Andrews for the defense con ducted the cross-examination. He asked olonel Roosevelt if he was paying the expenses of the prosecution of the libel suit against Editor Newett, or if the Progressive party were hearing it. Colonel Roosevelt shouted his denial that any one except himself was paying. Sight of the colonel displaying his feel ings caused a commotion among those in the court room, and Judge Klannigan ordered a bailiff to rap for order. The direct examination then continued.

The itching palm. Judas Iscariot had it. Thirty pieces of silver upon his hand, and Judas betrayed his Lord. Poor Judas, learning too late the curse of the itching palm, threw away the money and killed himself in shame and sorrow. j Notwithstanding itching palms are here to-day. And again and again would they betray Christ, our saviour, and rear for him a cross. Their pay coming from the betrayal of girls matters not to them. If they get their hire, they care not that their success would mean the dishonoring of motherhood, the blinding of babies, and the spreading of disease, insanity and death among innocent children and women. These they ignore with a sneering curse. But you do not; you care and understand; you recall. Annually seven hundred thousand dollars and more poured through the white slave market of Atlanta into the itching palm. The lie of segregation so prospered seven houses that their reputed owners received forty-three thousand and seventy-four dollars in the form of rent every year, more than twice as much as the rental of thirty-three other houses scattered throughout the city. Chief Beavers closed them all and ended the ghastly farce of segre gation. Eight months have passed and the owners of the itching palm have become frantic. For eight months the ‘‘unbreakable bank of the corrupt politicians” has been hampered by the honesty of a man whose palms will not itch. How much have the owners of the houses and the liquor dealers lost? Eight months is two-thirds of a year; two thirds of seven hundred thousand dollars is four hundred and sixty-six thousand, six hundred and sixty dollars and sixty six cents. How their palms do itch! And they have despaired of corrupting the Chief. They have to get rid of him, if they ever open again their market with its unspeakable pimps and procurers plying their trade of debauching girls. IS THIS CONNECTED WITH THE RECENT STUDIED EFFORT TO DISCREDIT THE CHIEF AND ATLANTA’S POLICE DEPART MENT IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD? Consider this before you answer. f The Chief can be removed from office only for inefficiency proven by trial before the Police Board. » , Incorruptibility is not inefficiency. And an unwillingness to violate one’s oath—a refusal to let crimi nals live upon the shame of women is no evidence that a man is incom petent to be Chief of Atlanta’s Police Force. Hence the plight of protected vice and its servants. THEY CANNOT CORRUPT; HENCE, THEY SEEK TO RUIN WITH LIES. Their itching palms know not how to labor honestly, though they are skilled in squeezing money from helpless fallen women, their “meal tickets.” 4. Being hungry, they snarl and snap. Cod pity them and open their eyes to their unutterable degradation! The outside world is pointing to the fearless honesty of our Chief of Police and the efficient way in which he is handling the most difficult of all city problems. And in this age of graft he will not be sacrificed to put into office a dishonest man satisfactory to the owners of brothels and bars and their henchmen. Never! ” AND ATLANTA WILL REMEMBER FOR FUTURE RECKON ING THOSE MEN, IN OR OUT OF OFFICE, WHO TRY TO HAM PER THE CHIEF AS HE DOES HIS DUTY. Recall the itching palms of the servants of protected vice and be on your guard. “A lie turned loose put Christ on the Cross.” Nail their lies! Note those who are trying by the most foul of all means, character assassination, to bring back upon Atlanta the disgrace of a traffic which demands for its existence the sacrifice of innocent girls. For the day of accounting is coming. Vice is fighting to regain the privilege of making dirty dollars by de filing women. Chief Beavers is battling for decency and health, the welfare of our families and your loved ones. He does not fight alone. You are with him. » Thank God! You are awake and watching. Chief Beavers and his men will be upheld by Atlanta. The Executive Committee of the Men and Religion Forward Movement a
