SUMNERS LEAVE
Chief Raban Stevens Marvels at
Beauty of Dixie Women—Con
clave Plans Made.
Delighted with the beauties of At
lanta and more than satisfied that
this city won out in the contest for
the 1914 convention of the Shriners,
the delegation of the Imperial Council
which visited here to perfect arrange
ments for the great conclave is now
on its homeward Journey after a tour
that included a trip to Panama and
the Canal Zone.
Only W. TV. Irwin, imperial poten
tate, remained until Thursday. He
stayed as the guest of Potentate For
rest Adair, of Yaarab Temple, and
was at a dinner given in his honor at
the Piedmont Driving Club Wednes
day night.
While the other members of the
delegation were praising the- advan
tages of Atlanta as a convention city
before their departure. J. Putnam
Stevens, chief raban, of Dewiston,
Maine, remained in meditative silence
which he broke finally with a panegy
ric upon the charm of the Southern
women. Mr. Stevens spoke with elo
quence and fervor worthy of a true
Southern gentleman.
Great City and Beautiful Women.
He conceded the advantages on
which the others had dwelled, but
submitted that one of the chief joys
that the visitors from the North would
experience would be in having the
delightful privilege of seeing—perhaps
meeting—some of the famed Southern
belles of whom so much has been
written.
“You have your historic associa
tions. I grant you that, sir,” began
Mr. Stevens, impressively.
"You have a beautiful and enter
prising city. Anyone can see that
with half an eye. You have a city
that rose from the ashes of the Civil
War and has become the center and
capital of the South. That is a won
derful achievement and a tribute to
the spirit of your citizens. You should
be proud of It.
"But you have more than this. You
have, sir. the most beautiful women
on whom I ever have set my eyes. J
am from bleak old Maine. Its a
mighty good State and I don’t want
to be disloyal. I am not saying that
It has not its charming women. It has
plenty of them, and that Is why my
admission now. that I must take off
my hat to the women of Atlanta and
the South, has all the more weight.”
Promises Friends Surprise.
Stevens accompanied his dec
laration with a sweeping bow that
had all the gallantry implied in his
remarks.
"If my good friends frdm (he North
aren’t surprised—most delightfully
surprised—I’m greatly mistaken,”
continued Mr. Stevens. “Of course,
they’ve read of the beauty of the
Southern women, but they regarded
this as more or less the product of
literary and imaginative license. But
T just want to stand on Peachtree
wtreet with som'e of them on a pleas
ant afternoon during the convention
and see them change their minds.
"I admit that I was made a captive
within the first few minutes after I
ventured on Peachtree street to-day.
J was held in chains of respectful, but
none the less powerful, admiration.”
Mr. Stevens had to hurry to catch
his train.
“I mean every word I have said,”
he laughed In departing, “but some
one up in Maine is apt to get mighty
Jealous if she ever hears what I have
said down here.”

been recorded on the subscription
books.

Alderman and Former Supreme
Court Jurist Defends Police
Anti-Public Spooning Edict.
John S. Candler, city Alderman and
ex-judge of the Supreme Court, on
Thursday gave a lucid interview to
The Georgian on the rights of the
State as opposed to the right* of in
dividuals.
It was given as a result of the out
cry against infringement on persona!
liberties in the police anti-kiasing
crusade.
Alderman Candlbr explained that
the very basis of our State and Fed
eral Constitutions was individual
rights. He said that a lack of per
sonal 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 never
dreamed of. And in this great change
individual privileges have perished in
the interest of the rights of the ma
jority.
Revenue Laws an Example.
“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 which
if enforced 1(H) 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 a? 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 iD
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
they are right. But all such issues as
that, I think, finally are up to the
people to decide. In the end the will
of the majority will prevail.
“Undoubtedly there are abuses of
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-
Caminetti 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 man 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.”

called ringworm of the scalp contracted
from a house-cat they were playing with
The ringworm formed on their scalps about
the size of a silver dollar and their hair fell
out, leaving a round scale or crust on their
scalps. Their hair fell out in round spots
There was terrible itching and they scratched
till the blood came. They were very fretful
and could not sleep at night and they were
very cross.
“They were treated for several months
with no improvement whatsoever. Instead
of Improving they were getting worse and
the ringworm was spreading and getting
larger. I was told they would never have
any hair and would always be bald Then
I began using Cuticura Soap la connection
with Cuticura Ointment and the first week
I could see the wonderful remedies were
doing all they were claimed to do and in six
weeks' time they were entirely cured. They
all have a beautiful growth of hair.”
