5 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.” COURTESY and EFFICIENCY Go hand-in-hand in the Atlanta tele phone exchange.

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.” Grant’s Telegraph Operator Is Dead JERSEY CITY, N. J., Sept. 11.— George E.
