WASHINGTON. Dec. 23.—Presi- j
dent Wilson to-day renominated Jud-
son O. Clements, of Georgia, as a
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The President believes that Mr
Clements’ long service upon the com
mission deserved a reappointment,
and especially in view of nia expert
knowledge of railroad conditions
Governor R B. Glenn,, of North
Carolina, had been persistently men
tioned as President Wilson's choice
for the position, in connection with
rumors that he had determined not
to give the Georgian another term.
Friends of Judge Clements, however
have been assured of his reappoint
ment for some weeks.
The Georgia member was appoint
ed originally by President Cleveland
1n 1893. and bas served continuously
ever since, having been chairman
part of the time. He is 67 years of
age, and before being named to the
( nmmission served as Congressman
from the Seventh District for three
t erms.
He was indorsed by all the Geor
gians in Congress when it became
known that he was to have an oppo
nent. Personal appeals were made to
the President in his behalf. The po
sit i«m pays $10,000 a year.

“Treasury of Atlanta Safe With
Woodward Guarding.” Says In
scription on Timepiece.
The City Hall wan filled with the
Christmas spirit Tuesday when n
committee representing friends of
Mayor Woodward called at his off! e
and presented him with a handsome
gold watch as a token of their regard
for his services as Chief Executive if
the city of Atlanta.
Friends of the Mayor who had been
informed of what was to take placo
gathered in the outer Office. Mayor
Woodward walked out w ith a cigar tn
the corner ofihis mouth, and, leaning
against a chair, crossed his legs In
ease, then turned to Captain James
W. English, the spokesman for the
committee. #
T know 1 have not been selected to
speak to you because of my chili'' u>
express the meaning of this act,” Cap
tain English said. "I suppose it is be
cause 1 have known you so long
Mayor Woodward, my acquaintance
ami association with you dates back
to the sixties. We have differed on
issues and clashed in official bodies,
but 1 want to f.y that during all those
years there has never been any doubt
of your honesty of purpose.
Unique Inscription.
“In recognition of your service to
the city, prompted by that element of
honesty In your character, I want to
present to you, on behalf of your
friends, this beautiful gold watch.”
Mayor Woodward look the watch
in silence and slow ly read the inscrip
tion.
On the hack a safe was engraved,
under which were the words, “Treas
ury of Atlanta.” In a circle around
the top was the inscription, “It Is
Safe With Woodward Guarding.”
Those gathered around saw Mayor
Woodward more moved in a senti
mental way than usual.
“1 don’t know how to begin to
thank you," he slowly began. "That
inscription on that watch is worth
more to me than all 1 possess. I will
’ carry the memory of this occasion to
my grave, and when 1 am gone 1 am
prouder to be able to leave it to my
! family than all else 1 possess.
Sorry Because of Friction,
i “The hardest thing in the world is
! handling other people’s money. In my
! life 1 have been most careful with it
l nr more than w 1th nj own.
I "I am sorry there has been friction
[ during ibis year of my administra-
j tion. Council should be as zealous of
j the people s welfare in expending
! money as the Mayor. If I have been
j firm and seemingly severe, it was
i necessary.
| "I hope that we can have a year of
( harmony next year. Without wishing
to criticise anyone, I will state that
w hen I came into office I found $700.-
000 of illegal debts. When my two-
I year term is up I hope to have It
wiped out.
"I promise you I will continue to
guard vour treasury. If any money
should be spent wrongly over my pro
test, I will let yml know where and
how it is going. Publicity is the
greatest thing in the world.”
The other members of the presen
tation committee were John E. /Mc
Clelland, J. Y. Smith and Samuel
Venable.

Mentenegrin Queen
Is Dangerously Ill
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
ZURICH. SWITZERLAND. Dec
Queren Milena of Montenegro,
mother of Queen Helena of Italy, is
understood to be dangerously ill in
tlie capital of the little Balkan king
dom.
Dr. A. Genhart. of this city, re
ceived an urgent summons to-day to
go to Oettinje to attend her majesty.
The Queen has been indisposed for
several days, but yesterday the
symptoms suddenly became very' se
rious.
Teacher Gives Xmas
Dinner to Negro Boys
A free Christmas dinner for the ne
gro newsboys of Atlanta will be given
in Bethel Church, colored. Wednes
day at 3 p. m. under the direction of
Alice D. Cary, a teacher in the Mor
ris Brown University, Houston street
and Boulevard. This is the ninth an
nual dinner given by the teacher.
. The Georgian’s big Christmas tree
on the City Hall plaza will be trans
ported Friday to the campus of the
Morris Brown University, and there
will be used as a Christmas tree for
the poor negro children Friday and
Saturday.
“Stone walls do not a prison make”
—that is, when they hold your hus
band, too, at Christmas time.
Anyway, that's Mrs. M. E. Manley’s
idea of it.
And so, with her bond signed, and
at liberty at any moment to walk out
with her baby girl to freedom, the
wife of the young man accused of
check forging has sent for two trunks
and a suitcase, and she and the baby
are just going to stay in that old jail
until the husband and father can
leave it with them. And if her hus
band goes to the clraingang she will
go. too.
That was the situation Tuesday.
Clark Howell, deputy clerk of the
Superior Court, had read in the pa
pers about the imprisonment of Man-
Ley, charged with passing a bad
check, and how his young wife had
smuggled a file and two saws into
his cell, “so he could be at home for
Christmas,” and how the Recorder
had tried them both Monday morn
ing and bound them over to the high
er court under a $500 bond apiece.
Howell's Heart Touched.
Mr. Howell’s heart was touched by
the young wife’s devotion. He thought
it was a pity that she should be in
jail—and especially with the 6-
rnonths-oJd baby girl—all through the
Christmas season.
So Mr. Howell called Judge Broyles
by telephone and told him if he would
reduce Mrs. Manley’s bond he would
sign it.
The Recorder did his part. He put
the bond down to $200. And Mr.
Howell signed it.
And about noon Tuesday J. T.
Golden, the jailer, conveyed the glad
tidings to Mrs. Manley that she and
the baby were free.
At least, it was Mr. Golden’s idea
that they were glad tidings.
Mrs. Manley didn’t see it that way.
“Can my husband go, too?” was her
first question.
Mr. Golden said he could not.
Mrs. Manley’s lower lip quivered.
But her decision was swift.
Refuses to Leave Without Him.
“Then I won’t go, either!” she said.
“You’ve got me in a different ward,
on another floor, and I don’t suppose
I can see him—I haven't seen him
since the trial yesterday. But as long
as he’s in this place I’m going to stay,
too. Freedom, and Christmas, and—
and everything else doesn’t mean
anything to me as long as he’s in
jail.”
Well. w T hat to do?
Mr. Golden for the first time in his
varied career as jailer was confront -
I ed with a prisoner who declined ab-
j solutely to be released. There was
no precedent to go by. He couldn’t
j very well eject Mrs. Manley ungal-
| lantly. Mr. Golden essentially is a
man of warm hospitality, though his
guests don’t always appreciate it
properly.
Brings Trunks to Jail.
Anyway, Mr. Golden, at the wish of
Mrs. Manley, sent for her two trunks
and a suitcase.
And by noon Mrs. Manley was pre
paring to make her stay as com
fortable as possible.
But she did wish she could see her
husband!

“ What made you
reject that man?”
I asked an army sergeant
on recruiting service, as a
broad shouldered -would-be
soldier was turned away.
“Bad teeth!” replied the ser
geant. You would be surprised
to know that from six to eight
percent, of the recruits apply
ing for enlistment in the U. S.
Army within one year were re
jected because of defective teeth
alone. And that thirty-five per
cent, of the catarrhal cases ir^ha
U. S Army were directly trace
able to diseased oral conditions.”
Perfect cleanliness of the
teeth is absolutely essential to

way to perfect cleanliness is the

Pigeon Methods
In a City
That’s Growing Better
One of the most discouraging
signs in the steady improvement
of a great city is to be observed In
the unholy staging that profession
al reformers give to Atlanta
through the stool pigeon tactics of
self-advertised incompetents.
Heralded on jaunts abroad as an
exemplar of civic virtue and ma
terial advancement, while at home
advertised as a modern Sodom cf
moral filth and civic degeneracy, by
crap-detectives and hysterical pub
licists.
This is the campaign of consis
tency by which the self-acclaimed
moralist would attract the home-
seeker arid capitalist to Atlanta.
Building great universities by
such methods? No; these corned
through agencies whose patriotism
does not glow in the breast of nar
row cant.
Attracting new industrial enter
prises, with their thousands of
honest workmen who demand a
day of recreation now and then?
No; these factories come in spite
of the handicap of them, whose,
thought and existence seem to start
and to end with a stern-faced seat
on the lid.
Corralling great conventions like
that superb body of men, the
Shriners, who never visit a city
where very day is a Sahara? No,
indeed. The great htman heart of
such an institution does not im
bibe pleasure from the somber at
mosphere of fanaticism.
Impelling other bodies of men
that represent the thrift, the brain,
the binding forces of development
to meet in annual conclave in our
city? No. They are too busy en
couraging some silly detective to
slip-up on innocent love as it dese
crates the Capitol’*, steps, or in
hiring some miserable stool pigeon
to sneak a half pint from some
locker club whose rule Is to con
form to the law and respect the
officers of the law.
Atlanta is growing by prodig
ious strides, in spite of these se
rious handicaps to her growth.
What might she do if the press
of the city should combine to make
eternal war on the “Paul Prys
and Small Frys” of reform?
Some day Atlanta will be a
great metropolis. She is heading
that way. Isn’t it time that the
broad minds and great developers
who have surrendered the reins of
moral control to petty reformers,
take them in hand again, so that
industrial a*d moral expansion
may be had on those lines of sym
metry that count for stable better
ment?
This is a thought that should
compel action from the banker,
the manufacturer, the merchant,
the citizen. And in this great
work, which is needed to-day, the
press and the representative min
istry should lead.
Atlanta is already too great to
tolerate any small espionage of
her resorts of pleasure, such as
locker clubs, dance halls and pub
lic parks.
There are too many types in
Atlanta to say that all shall laugh
and pray in unison.
Strength of soul and breadth of
mind are not built upon lines of
dogmatic command.
There is a time to work, and
there is a time to play—but every
man should work as best suits
his energies, and every man should
play as best suits his healthy de
sires.
No small body of men should be
allowed to preside over the
thought and the conduct of an
entire community.
And yet this is the Chinese shoe
which a brow-beaten people are
allowing narrow officialdom to
fasten on the head of Atlanta.
What do you think of the pre
sented situation — self-respecting
citizen, who claims to have a mind
and yet afraid to express it?
What do you think of it, much
acclaimed editor of the influential
paper—quietly acquiescing in the
threatened confiscation of the
property of the citizen, and tim
idly condoning tne abuse of the
freeman’s rights?
Was it consistent with any hon
est view of equal rights for the of
ficers of the law to hale before the
courts seven locker clubs of the
downtown district while they grant
ed immunity to seven locker clubs
in the uptown district?
Can the sense of justice of an
official be defended who performs
or allows the arrest of certain
locker clubs while he neglects or
prevents the arrest of certain oth
er locker clubs?
Will the press and the citizens
approve the conviction of the man
agement under indictment unless
the officers responsible therefor
indict and convict those clubs that
have been outrageously and Inde
fensibly favored?
Is there any justice in such a
travesty on administered law r ?
Is there any moral defense to be
offered In behalf of a judge or
other officer of the law belonging
to an uptown locker club, either by
membership or courtesy of admis
sion, that may not be urged in
behalf of the citizen who happens
to belong to some club less fa
vored by the self-righteous stand
ard of comparison? If so, why?
Can any club that pays city,
State and Federal license be oper
ating as a blind tiger, so long
all these constituted authorities
write receipts that indicate the
place of the sale and the manage
ment that sells? Can anything be
legally blind that legally sees?
Is this Americanized Atlanta or
Russianized St. Petersburg?
Chief Beavers, in preliminary
annual report, felicitates himself
and Atlanta by referring to the
decrease in the number of mur
ders as compared with 1912
He also recites the “significant
fact that but 57 women of the
streets have been arrested during
the whole year, against 46 sue
women arrested in 1912, during the
time the ‘red light’ districts were
open, and when no special cruaa «
was being waged by the police
against vice.”
All this is superficially encour
aging. Yet In view of the genen
impression as to the numerical in
crease in “such women,” it is JJ
improbable if the Detective De
partment should try the "
pigeon tactics that have b^*
adopted with “certain” ‘ oCK '_
clubs, the result might tax the c
