Cites Law Violation.
•*ln your own State a few days ago
an offi- er of the law declared that by
common consent in certain cities of
the State there were certain laws that |
should not be enforced, and this .
prosecuting attorney deflect the law
and openely declared that he would
not enforce it. If I were Governor of
this State of Georgia, the prosecut
ing attorney who would not enforce
the law should not hold office in this
State.
"The only thing I admire about this
Solicitor Is that there are hundreds
of public officials who believe as he
believes and acts as he acts, but who
have not his manhood to proclaim it
to the public. A man is elected to
office to enforce every’ law. No man
has discretionary power."
Attorney Wright paid tribute to
Chief Reavers in the elimination of
the red light district, and said it was
a demonstration that laws unpopular
in many quarters could be enforced
if there were a few men with back
bone. strength of character and con
science to see that they were not vio
lated with impunity.
Scores “Necessary Evil.”
"I rejoice," he said, "that the me
tropolis of the old South, the fairest
city in many respects in the whole
Commonwealth, has decided that the (
greatest crime shall not go unpun
ished. This nation la going to learn
that there Is no 'necessary evil.* We
are going to team that the real basis
of prosperity and progress la not In
palaces, not in banks, not In trans
portation systems, but in s clean,
pure, virtuous citizenship.’*
Mr. Wright asserted that the great
est problem before the American peo
ple was that of law enforcement and
the elimination of anarchistic tenden
cies among those in high places.
Dr. Dußose said that the whole
question of good government was
embraced In this trinity—the citizen
voter, the officeholder and the su
premacy of the law. He declared it
the duty of every citizen to cast «
vote, to see that It Is counted, and to
follow It up to see that It Is enacted
Into a law, and, when a law, that It
ngoroualy Is enforced.

"Each man should have what he

which in Its natural state is necessary

Dressmaker at Chicago Conven
tion Declares Hoopskirts of
1860 Will Return.
It is no more immoral or im
modest for a woman to show two
•egs than one.
The present styles are the best
and most artistic ever worn by
woman.
The slit skirt is passing.
The manufacturers and design
ers have decreed that more cloth
must go into dresses and gowns.
And it will go.
In five years women will be
wearing semi-hoop skirts similar
to those worn in 1860.
At the same time they will be
wearing five times as much cloth
ing as they are now.

The manufacturers and designer’s

that more material must go into

In five years the. women will be

Before taking the platform. Madam
Ripley said:
"In five years women will be wear

Not because it is best, nor because it
is more healthful, but because the
manufacturers and designers will
compel It.
"The petticoat makers are going
broke. The silk and other textile
ma kt rs are suffering sad cuts in their
business because of the small amount
of cloth now used in the actual build
ing to-day of milady’s gowns.
"The dressmakers and the patrons
have no voice on the all-important

of wheat between the millstones of

elightly lower on June 15, 1913, than
