The Very Best Way to Make Dreary Homes
Bright Is to Fill an Empty Stocking, Is the
Santa Claus Girl’s Philosophy.
By THE SANTA CLAUS GIRL.
Can you look back over your life
today, Mr. Atlanta, and remember
dust which of all the good deeds you
ever did brought the most happiness
to other people? If you can think of
that and measure correctly the.joy it
gave and multiply that joy by ten or
twenty or even fifty, you will come
pretty close to the amount of hap
piness you can give the children of
Atlanta by contributing to The Geor
gian’'s Empty Stocking Fund.
Giving to children is the most com
pensating kind of giving in the world.
It takes so little to make them happy
—the gilt isn't rubbed off the ginger
bread yet, you see—and they dre so
grateful for anything that is given
them that they make a whole lot of
happiness for the giver, too.
And the children that the Empty
Stocking Fund gives to haven’t had
quite so much in their short lives as
some of the children you know. They
know what it is to want things they
can’'t have and to wait and wait,
sometimes for months, for the things
they can have, so that when Christ
mas finally comes around and The
Georgian Santa Claus really and truly
stops at their door, they get ten
times the happiness out of the toys
he brings than the kids you know can
get out of the most expensive things
to be found in the shops.
The Saddest Thing.
The Georgian made up its mind a
long time ago that the most pathetic
thing in all the world is the kid that
Santa Claus forgets. That idea was
the starting point of the Empty
Stocking Fund, and because a lot of
people agreed with The Georgian the
fund has prospered and thousands of
dollars have been donated and spent

is needed if all of the appeals are to'

in Atlanta can help. You may not be'

be a bit hard with you, too, but each
tiny contribution is just that much

whose heavy artillery is now well
within the range of the Bucharest
forts. From Turtukai to the capital
is some 32 miles. But the mission of
the Turtukai yforce, if it has really
crossed the river already, is to head
due north toward the Bucharest-Cer
navoda Railway, less than 28 miles
away.
This railway. covering some 3838
miles, appearsnow the sole avenue of
escape for the Roumanian forces
driven from Wallachia and not evi
dently making a last standing before
Bucharest. To cut this railway, thus
“hagging” not only the capital, but
the bulk of its defenders, is the chief
task ahead of the Teutons. The rail
way running north from Bucharest no
longer offers a chance of escape to
King Ferdinand’s forces, since it leads
into the Parahova and Buzeu Valleys,
where Falkenhayn’s northwestern
armies are pushing steadily forward.
Of the Russian offensive in the Car
pathians, the A ustrian War Office said
yesterday afternoon that it continues
with “undiminished violence,” but that
“everywhere the enemy was bloodily

Former Congressman Makes
Striking Address to Law
yers of Atlanta.
The members of the Atlanta Bar
Association who attended their annual
banquet last night at the Piedmont
Hotel received the nominations of JW,
Carroll Latimer as the new president
and of the other officers, and then lis
tened to an address by William M.
Howard, former Georgia (ongress
man, and now a leading attorney of
Augusta, which everyone present
agreed was one of the most interest
ing ever delivered before the asso
ciation.
Mr. Howard traced the progress of
labor, as an entity, through the vari
ous economic changes in this country
up to the present time, when, he de
clared, it had become the most domi
nant force in the Government.
The conclusion of his line of thought
was expressed in these words:
“In public life today, no other than !
these dre in control vTheodore‘
Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, LaFol
lette of Wisconsin, Bryan of Nebraska
and Samuel Gompers. And the might
iest of these is Gompers. |
“Wilson Has Temporized.” |
“President Wilson has temporized
with and got re-elected by the mighty
forces that Gompers personifies, Andi
he has done this in spite of the car-|
dinal Democratic principle that there
shall be no legislation for one class
against another,
“It is, therefore, time that we should
come to realize that Democracy no
longer signifies that it is a party rep
resentative of the individual in Amer
fca.”
His speech created a profound im
pression. The dining room of the
Piedmont rang with sustained ap
plause from the more than 200 law
vers present. Many made their way
to the speaker’s table to give personal
indorsement of his views, ‘
Mr. Howard was the sole speaker of
the evening, excepting the retiring
president, Luther Z. Rosser, whose
brief observations took the form of a
combined leave-taking of the order as
its head and an introduction of the
former Congressman
A nominations committee, after
“much arduous labor,” its chairman,
Shepard Bryan, pointed out, reported
the following nominations within five
minutes after its appointment:
\\'.)’arrnll Latimer, president; Har
rison’ Jones, first vice president; Cam
D. Dorsey, second vice president; Rob
ert S. Parker, secretary and treas
urer; John Y. Smith and Edgar Neely,
existing vacancies on the executive
committee.
~ Applause greeted the words of the
committee chairman as he read each
‘name.
At the outset Mr. Howard declared
he was speaking as an old-line Demo
crat. He declared he addressed his
hearers not as lawyers, but as men
who, by reason of their profession, are
fully acquainted with the structure of
government.
Three Periods of Change.
There have been three distinct pe
riods of economic change, he said.
These were the first 60 years follow
ing the Revolution, when government
‘wns controlled in the interest of sla
very, out of which grew an intense
feeling of individualism; then 50 years
during which sentiment was for pro
tection of definite economic interests
in the country, and finally, recently,
when feeling swung around to the in
terest of labor.
He cited specific instances, such as
passage of the Adamson eight-hour
bill, in proof of his ‘declaraticn that
labor now is dominant and is rapidly
increasing in power. He argued that
the effect of this latter condition has
been to set aside the theory of gov
ernment for the protection of the in
dividual in favor of government for
the protection of a class, the laboring
people.
The speaker recalled the Haymarket
strikes, of Chicago, in 1894, the first‘
in this country, and called attention
to President ('leveland's announce
ment that he would send as great a
detachment of soldiers as necessary
to enforce a Federal Court injunction
against a continuance of that strike.
Completing his point, he told of the
agreement of President Gompers, of
the labor forces, recently to an en
largement of the army if the militia
shall not lose its local status except
in time of war.
“Is there any significance to Gom
per's statement,” tHe speaker asked, |
“when viewed in the light of Presi
dent Cleveland’'s action?” |
Between the Haymarket strikes and
the general railroad strike that was
threatened three months ago there
were no attempts to launch a national
cessation of labor to carry a point,
the speaker pointed out. The consti
tution forbade strikes through its def
initéiéns of the rights of property and
life,”” said Mr. Howard.
. “Labor had to know=.it would be
lawful to strike,” he declared.
| Clayton Act Exempts.
| This was accomplished, he said,
through the Clayton act, “passed dur
‘ing President Wilson’'s term,” which
exempts labor organizations from the
operation of the law of injunction as
regards strikes.
' He declared that socialistic prin
’cipl@s are being embodied in the pres
ent system of Government in so far
as its form will permit, and that tax
ation of inheritances is based on the
same principle as is the socialistic
'doctrine that there shall be no in
heritance; and that the nation has
;approached Government ownership of
'railroads through railroad regulation.
1 “Roosevelt took the first action to
‘ward Government ownership,” he
continued, “when he had passed, sev
en years ago, a bill increasing the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.”
He then made his conclusion with
naming the men now actually in con
trol of the Government.
The formal adjournment was fol
lowed with many personal congratu-
Jations on the address.

The auto bandits who yesterday
morning slugged A. H. Boykin, pay
master of the Martel Cotton Mills at
Kagan, and robbed him of a payroll
fund of nearly $1,260, last night were
still at large, the posse of county
police chasing them having lost the
trail about two miles this side of
Griffin.
The posse, which consisted of Po
licemen Haine, Stoval, Hornsby
Wells and Cates, and Papmaster Boy
kin, returned to Atlanta late yester
day afternoon, after having for hours
scoured the country between Atlanta
and Griffin and then over to Fayette.
ville in Fayette County. The pursuers
were close behind the fleeing bandits
on the Atlanta-Griffin. road, but the
latter, speeding in a Ford car, man
aged to increased their lead.
They were believed to have changed
their course just before reaching
Griffin, making a detour around that
city. They evidently reasoned that
‘(;rlmn had been notified, and that
officers there would be waiting for
them, which reasoning was abse
lutely correct.
The Atlanta officers continued a
short distance beyond Griffin, and
then cut across ten miles to Fayette
ville. Nothing more was heard of the
fugitives, however, and the officers
finally abandoned the chase.
Towns and villages between At
lanta and Macon and in other direc
tions were notified yesterday of the
robbery, and the officers in these
places were furnished a good de
scription of the two bandits, one of
whom is a small red-headed fellow,
and the other tall and dark haired
Because of the full description given
by Paymaster Boyvkin, the police were
confident the bandits would be run to
earth shortly. News of their capture
was anticipated hourly.
It was the generally accepted theory
last night that only two men were
implicated in the robbery.. Boykin
at first said he thought there were
three men, then later he was satisfied
there were but two.
