THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN A VO NEWS.
Alderman and Former Supreme
Court Jurist Defends Police
Anti-Public Spooning Edict.
John S. Candler, city Alderman and
K-judge of the Supreme Court, on
Thursday gave a lucid interview to
The Georgian on the rights of the
State as opposed to the rights* of in
dividuals.
It was given as a result of the out-
■ rv against infringement on personal
liberties in the police anti-kissing
crusade.
Alderman Candler explained that
the very basis of our State and Fed
eral Constitutions was individual
rights. He said that a lack of per
sona! liberties and rights brought on
the Revolutionary War, and that our
colonial forebears believed in those
principles of government as intensely
as they believed in God.
“But times have changed since
those days,” he said. “We confront
conditions our forefathers nev^r
dreamed of. And in this great change
individual privileges have perished in
the interest of the rights of the ma
jority.
Revenue Laws an Examnle.
“What would the gentlemen of the
old school have thought if they had
been prevented from taking their ap
ples and peaches to the neighborhood
distillery and having them made into
brandy?
“When Toombs and the other dis
tinguished Georgians drafted our
present Constitution in 1877 they
never dreamed of the State giving
children anything more than a com
mon school education
"We have many law’s to-day w’hich
if enforced 100 years ago would have
caused a second revolution. Think of
our great railroad systems. To-day
they are run by the labor unions and
the Government. The Individuals who
own them have little to say in their
management.
“Individuals’ rights as to morals has
changed from a basic national princi
ple of government to a local Issue.
Issue Up to the People.
“While 50 years ago the interfer
ence of the police with a woman for
wearing a hoop skirt would have
caused a riot, to-day it is not unusual
for the police to arrest a woman on
account of extreme dress.
“Different sections differ in their
regulation of morals. We don’t have
the same attitude to many things in
Atlanta that the people in New York
have. We enforce certain laws in
Atlanta that are not enforced in Sa
vannah. Yet the same general prin
cipal holds true—the rights of the
individual are curbed in the interest
of the whole community.
“The police have now decreed that
there shall be no public kissing or
spooning in Atlanta. I rather think
ihey are right. But all such issues as
that, I think. Anally are up to the
people to decide. In the end the will
of the majority will prevail.
“Undoubtedly there are abuses ot
the laws affecting individual rights.
Officers sometimes go too far. You
rarely hear complaints against
sheriffs; they are directly responsible
to the people, and are more con
siderate.
“But officers of the general gov
ernment and city police have no di
rect responsibility to the people, and,
therefore, sometimes go to extremes
In enforcing the law.
“I have no doubt that the enforce
ment of the Mann act in the Diggs-
Caminettl case is not accomplishing
what Mr. Mann intended it to.
“The sacrifice of individual rights
at the demand of the majority has
been for the public good. We never
could have made the progress we
have on the old principle that the
individual was the biggest thing In
the Government. We take the view’
to-day that the Government owns all,
controls all.
“If a yuan went into a foreign
country years ago he took his chances
on his own responsibility. But wher
ever one may wander on the earth
to-day the strong arm of the United
States is there to protect him. We
all know we have the greatest coun
try on earth.”

an who forgot her wedding day,
forgot her husband, forgot she
was getting a divorce, then met
her husband in the street and
rushed up and kissed him? A

BRIGHT DAYS AHEAD | J.M.IllGH COMPACT.
History Is Being Made
Every Day Now in
This Country
Congress lias nearly completed its
work—at least the tariff adjustments set
tled and the merchants and business peo
ple know on what basis they will operate
for some years to come. The manufactur
ers will decide now what they can do. A
tremendous buying power will be in the
markets* for goods and almost all will de
mand immediate filling of orders. We our
selves, while having made huge purchases,
find, in some lines, difficulty in getting
everything on the spur of the moment.
Never before did the future promise so
well for Atlanta and the State of Georgia.
You have but to read the papers to know
this, and they are making no idle boasts.
The big crops of cotton wall go to market
at prices to hugely swell the pockets of the
growers. The Government report on crops
and conditions of this great State of Geor
gia, just issued on the 8th instant, points to
wealth and prosperity to the farmers. All
this will come into labor’s hands as the fac
tories and places of employment get busier,
making for a buying power of tremendous
activity.
So we tell you to-day we think it ad
visable to begin at once early purchases for
your homes and families. Our buyers have
worked with great energy completing every
known want for all departments of our big-
store. Our Eastern office has worked daily
and overtime to capture for us the very
cream in everything.
Women’s coats, suits and dresses, dress
goods and silks, millinery, underwear,
staple dry goods are here now in great
abundance, so w r hy not make up your buy
ing lists, secure fine selections and know you
are in on the ground floor, no matter what
may happen.
Our furniture buyer has stocked two
huge floors and the warehouse full of the
very best in this line for home furnishing.
Why not buy early? Our “Divided Pay
ment Plan” you can use for making such
purchases extend over quite a period if you
haven’t all the ready cash. Anyone of good
credit can buy from us. A call at our credit
office on the second floor and all will be
quickly and nicely explained to you.
We never before were so well equipped
to serve you in every department as now,
and v/e wouldn’t feel we had done our whole
duty until we suggested vour making-
early purchases. Day by day our publicity
department tells you of what is offered and
you read them eagerly, we know. Friends
in Atlanta and outside in the State know*
we are ever seeking the best in the mar
kets of the world for them.
Tell your neighbors and others. Did
you ever stop to think what would become
of things if there were no electric lights,
electric car service, etc.? Then more so
would the lack of the big department stores
be felt. Supplies for homes and personal
wants must be had.
Atlanta’s Best Store is at your service.
We repeat, “Buy Early,” don’t leave any
needs for coming months to the future.
JUST FOR FRIDAY
From to-morrow we are going to make things
very interesting for Friday shoppers. Why not?
Every big city and every big store in the United
States treats their customers to “Money Saving
Items” on Friday. Why not in Atlanta? Who
better to do it than Atlanta’s Best Store?
