Chief of Police Beavers and Ills
secretary. W. T Morris, have en
larged their fund of religious knowl
edge within the past few weeks.
A newspaper man with a propen
sity for religious arguments left a
copy of the Koran, the Mohammedan
Bible, in the ehrief’s offleo the other
day. and after Mr Morris got through
reading it If*' turned if over to the
chief and the chief read it. from the
creation of man from clots of blood
down to the aura about the sow. Ami
then the chief locked the hook in the
bottom drawer of ids desk so none
of his men could read it, for there
are p;r-sages iri tie- Koran that con
flict with some of the chiefs most
positive ideas and declarations.

up Peachtree to the Piedmont, and

then, of course, lie joined the 200,000
other people who chuckle with pride
when you mention Atlanta, and who
will g" without their dinner to ex
plain why Atlanta is the greatest city
on earth. Mr. Osborn Tuts been here
now five days and vows vehemently
that he is a first-class Atlantan from
the tips of his fingers to the tips of
I.ls shoe.
"For." he says, "you’ve got to boost

liyre five minutes. 1 never saw Huch
a bunch of boosters in my life; ev
erybody’s doin’ it all the time. Which
is all right and proper. because
they’ve got something worth boost

Take it from us, who used to know
Mr. Osborn in Illinois, that he was a
live wire in his home town, and if he
boosts Atlanta like lie did Quincy—
Atlanta’s going to get an awful lot of
first class and productive boosting.

oner, the court should wash its hands
of the matter altogether
"In this case Judge Roan should
have cleared the courtroom. fb
should have summoned sufficient force
to keep the crowds from collecting in
the street. He should have punished
to ’ c extent of the law. by imprison-
merit, every person applauding and
stamping his feet and crying out in
the courtroom; and, finally llie.se
measures failing, lie should have
granted a mistrial, and nave held tin*
trial i^t a time and plate tChen if
would be free from such unseemly
influences.
The turn which this case took un
der the evidence of the negro Jim
Donley, who testified to acts of tier-
version, brought this case squarely
under section 5885 of the Code of
Georgia, as a case where the evident e
was vulgar and obscene and tended
to debauch the morals of the young,
and the judge had the right, either in
his own discretion or »»n motion of
either side, to clear the courtroom
from all members of the public.
"That Judge Roan did not meet the
occasion with sufficiently, drastic ac
tion is held, we think, by a number
of cases Judge Roan never once took
any action, but merely stated in a
very mild way what he would do if
the disturbances occurred again. He
admonished the crowd once or twice
that he would clear the courtroom,
but the disturbances were repeated
! and the courtroom never was clearer
Referring to the demonstrations
| that took place while the jury was
I being polled, the argument says:
"It is perfectly obvious that if poll-
! ing tiie jury is a substantial right, it
amounted to nothing imthis case, b* -
cause of the demonstration which not
, only overawed the jury , but made L
almost impossible for the court to

"A verdict is not complete when ;t

i lias the opportunity to dissent in open
court from the verdict, upon being
polled. The verdict is still in the
making before the jury is polled:
nothing could be more Important than
r tie utmost freedom of action while

Throughout the argument bitter at-

I which Solicitor Dorsey conducted tin-
prosecution. He is charged with
warping and misrepresenting the tes

SWEEPING across the Continent
like a huge eagle, a Wright aeroplane
safely carried Galbraith P. Rodgers
in Ids world-beating flight from New ^ ork to I asadena,
Cal., “lighting” at Tournament Park November 4, 1911.
Rodgers tripled the longest continuous flight in the
history of aviation. Although 59 days were consumed
by the trip, th6 actual flying lime for the
4,231 miles covered was 4,924 minutes. The
longest single flight was 133 miles through
Arizona.
For more than 50 consecutive days,
Rodgers was “Away Above Everything.” For
nearly 50 continuous years, Lewis 00 Rye has
been “Away Above Everything.”

Rodger's record sooner or later will be beaten, but the
record of Lewis 66 Rye NEVER will be eclipsed. It’s the
