Woodward and Rev. Lincoln
McConnell
Stop the Seasitaonxl Controversy Over a Very Unfort-jnate Young
Wocus.
The Georgtiz politely requests Mayor Woodward and Rev
Lincoln McConnell of the Tabernacle to end the sensational con
troversy they are now engaged in over a very unfortunate young
woman—unfortunate because she has been made the victim of
undue and undeserved publicity. She is the one person to suffer
most from the controversy and who, even if she had been guilty
of spooning on the Capitol steps, should have been helped and
, shielded, instead of being made the butt of ridicule of the entire
city.
AS A MATTER OF FACT THE POLICE CHARGE
AGAINST HER WAS NOT SUSTAINED' JUDGE BROYLES
DISCHARGED HLR! SHE WAS NOT GUILTY BUT SHE
HAD BEEN TERRIBLY HUMILIATED'
The Georgian offers the above suggestion in all friendliness
'because we believe it is no part of the duties of a newspaper to set
itself up as a court to try cases and pronounce sentence on men
and women Neither is it the duty of the Mayor. And least of all
is it the duty of the pulpit
The Georgian has the utmost respect for the new pastor of
the Tabernacle. We wish him the largest measure of success.
Uns newspaper will help him m every way possible to bring
about better conditions in our city. No man in the entire South
has so large a field to work in. No man is more respected
One of the most important duties of the pulpit is to throw
its protection around those who need it. The never to be changed
law of the Divine Teacher is to help the helpless, start them on a
new and higher path, with the admonition. Go. and sin no
more ”
Mayor Woodward is always has been, and probably always
will be the stormy petrel m Atlanta's public affairs. He occupies
the highest office m the gift of the people of this city He has
great and important duties to perform. The people will sustain
him so long as he performs hrs duties ably and conscientiously.
We urge him to turn his attention to more important things
than writing abusive letters to ministers.
It has been pointed out repeatedly that the police depart
ment of Atlanta is, in the mam, capably administered Individual
members of every police force make mistakes
It ic the duty of the courts to rectify these mistakes prompt
ly and decisively, instead of permitting them to lapse so that
" * letter writers and would-be-orators may dispose of them in their
own peculiar and sensational way
The duties of policemen are clearly defined Few police
men know what these duties are The liberties guaranteed to
citizens under the Constitution are also clearly defined Few citi
zens know what these liberties are And so it has come about
that a wrong police system has been built up, because citizens
will not protect their own rights, and the police become arrogant
and frequently act unlawfully
It is the duty of the judges of our courts when these cases
n are brought to their attention, to define the law clearly show the
c errors of the police and explain the rights of citizens
B . We appeal to Mayor Wood-ward and Rev Lincoln McConnell
* »%o put an end to their unfortunate controversy
Nothing is to be gained by pursuing it further Atlanta
has suffered too long from senseless quarrels and squabbles
about trivialities, which lead other cities to believe Atlanta to
be a veritable pesthole when as a matter of fact. Atlanta is going
forward by leaps and bounds, in good, progressive civic work.
Ladies and Qentlemen-=-Meet
Mr. New Tariff
You Will See and Hear a Good Deal ot Your New Friend as
Time Passes, and the Better You Know Hm the
Mere You Wil! Like Him—Perhaps.
We have a new tariff law Just passed by the Senate
President Wilson says the people have won a fight that has
lasted a long generation. ’
Maybe they have The frogs wen a long prayerful fight
when they persuaded Jupiter to send them a stork for king, in
place of the peaceful log
A little later the people AND President Wilson will know
more about the results of the new tariff It may be found that
there was something after all m the old theory that it is gcod
“to keep the money m the family and let work FOR Americans
be dene BY Americans, rather than invite competition from
abroad.
Many possibilities—some of them unpleasant—reside in
this tariff bill passed so gallantly by Mr Wilson of Princeton
and by Democrats of large confidence and small exper.ence
The one certain result of a lower tariff is this MORE
AMERICAN MONEY WILL GO ABROAD AND MORE WORK
FOR AMERICANS WILL BE DONE ABROAD
Not even the ingenious mind of Professor Wilson can get
away from that fact
Foes cf Massachusetts elected as a Democrat, has gone
back to the Republican party That is NOTHING
He has moved his great factorv from the United States to
Canada. THAT IS SOMETHING '
The —ork that American citizens did here in the United
States for Foes will be done by Canadians in Canada They
will get the work and the wages—and we in the United States
will pay the bill*.
Think that over!
Under this new tariff manufacturers MAY be forced to sell
us goods cheaper And they MAY do this without actually los
ing money. Let us hope so
If they lose they will stop manufacturing or. like Foss send
them factories to a country where labor is cheaper where money
can be borrowed more cheaply where rents are lower—and
they’ll bring the goods to sell here

THE MISSION PLAY
And the Enthusiasm It Arouses.
Father Junipero Serra in 1913.
By DR. CHARLES F. AKED
Wr»t?en ‘or Tke AtlinM Georpias.
IT is yreaily to the credit of I
the proprietors of the Coins- '
b<a Theater San F*ancisco, that
they rectored to offer to the thee
-.---coizr pot’.zc the "Tiissioo Play '
This paseant-pAy is sweet and
pore and charming—and deeply
religious It is greatly to the cred
it of the theater-going public of
San Francisco that on the opening
n-.zht 1 enwded house received the
play with vnanimous approval and_
fine enthusiasm.
The dartng vzich t reduced the
piece, the crowded boose, the pro
found enjoyment of it tn an its
par's ire significant. These things
are immensely ermurThey
j-is'ify our belief tn the essentiai
rightness of oar rocnx human
nature. They stimulate every
movement directed toward the
elevation ot taste and the improve
ment of character They ’end Uro
and wings to oar conviction that
the great majority of tnea and
wemen at the present time would
rather have the xoed than the bad.
and rather do the right than the
wroog—the choice put sqtsarely
before them One remembers w-.-.h
more than 1 thrill of satisfaction

It is the same all over America.

here will go out of the country under the new tariff. We mar
feel the need of that later.
Merchants will be able to sell some thing* more cheaply
They -nil come from abroad and be the product of labor t'-a
costs less or of other cheaper foreign conditions. That will be
very nice—cheap shopping is a delight—lF YOU HAVE THE
MONEY WITH WHICH TO SHOP'
But for all work dene abroad some one must. lose his iob

And we may see in office a little later some individual csp

mcney out of this country. Let's hope «o.
Hitting workingmen on the head with a club is surely not
the ONLY possible method of discouraging the trusts.
They say a low tariff, or free trade. ~m discourage trust*.
Possibly that is so.
If you take the tariff off steel, wool. etc., you may discour
age the steel and wool trusts, and so on.
But when you do that, what happens?
Those discouraged trusts as a first step
shut down their plants and discharge men.
Might it not have been possible to discourage trust thieverr
WITHOUT sending American work abroad—and servi-ng
American dollars with it to pay foreigners for the work 4 "
