‘TORT’ JUST MEANS A
WRONG ONE PERSON

__ _
(By the Atlanta Bar Assn, and
Lawyers’ Club of Atlanta.)
The word “tort” is such a common¬
place term with the lawyer that he
seldom stops to realize that the ordi¬
nary citizen often does not even know
what it means.
The word itself is from the French
and means a twist or torque, or, in
effect, a “wrong.” In legal terminology
it means a private, civil wrong com¬
mitted by one person against another.
The laws of torts, therefore, is that
body of law which defines those acts
which constitute a “wrong” and for
which the aggrieved person may re¬
cover damages. Smith strikes Brown
For example.
and breaks his nose. This is commonly
known as the tort of “assault and
battery.” Theoretically, at least, Smith; Brown
has a cause of action against
that is, by bringing a suit against
Smith he can force Smith to pay him
money damages. This is a civil action
and would be referred to as Brown
vs. Smith. Brown is the plaintiff, and
Smith is the defendant.
The same act which constitutes a
tort in the civil courts may also be
a criminal act, as defined by the crim¬
inal statutes. If it is, then the wrong

by the prosecuting attorney If the
of the people of the state. pros¬
ecuting attorney pressed criminal
charges against Smith in the above
case, the action would he called State
vs. Smith, and instead of having to
pay for a broken nose, Smith would
face a possible jail sentence if he was
found guilty.
The bringing of a civil suit by
Brown does not prevent the state from
prosecuting Smith criminally. would The
criminal action, if brought first,
not preclude Brown from instituting
his suit. One does not bar the other.
A tort may be an intentional act,
as in the example above, or it may
consist of an unintentional act such
as negligent arising wrongdoing. Most of colli¬ the
actions from automobile
sions, for instance, come within the
latter. Other examples of intentional
torts, besides assault and battery, are
false arrest, libel and slander, mali¬
cious prosecution, alienation of affec¬
tions and false imprisonment.

AS TED’S DOG DIED,
THE FAMILY WEPT
By PIERCE HARRIS
Unless you live -in the Southwest
section of the city, you probably don’t
know Ted Thomas.
Ted is 14 years old, carries a paper
route, hasn’t missed Sunday school in
seven years, plays on a football team,
Pierce Harris’ column appears reg¬
ularly in the daily Atlanta Journal,
and is one of my finest and firmest
friends.
YOUNG FRIENDS
I’m making me some young friends,
if you don’t want to go down that
lonesome road with a bundle of mem¬
ories under one arm and a bundle of
regrets under the other, friends you’d will better die
do the same. Your old
off and leave you.
The other Saturday night L was in
my study, when the phone rang. It was
Ted. He was upset. He was in tears,
and when he asked, “Can you talk to
me a minute,” I had the minute right
there at hand. Actually, I didn’t talk.
Ted did. Somebody had poisoned his
dog. He told me in detail how the poor
little thing had suffered, how the
whole family had cried when Spot
shivered and died.
He told me how they put him in a
nice, clean, pine-board box lined with
wrapping paper, and how they’d had
his funeral on the hill back of their
house and buried him with a marker
over his grave.
While Ted was talking, 1 thought,
“I should be running those Bible ref¬
erences, but there is nothing more im¬
portant than listening to a boy talk
when he is mourning over the death
of his little dog.” So I listened.
Then Ted asked, “What do you
think about somebody who will poison
a little boy’s dog?” It He wasn’t wanted just a
rhetorical question. an
answer. So this is how I answered
him.
“Ted, I know how you feel. I once
had a little dog named Shorty and
somebody poisoned him. Whether they
did it intentionally or accidentally, I
don’t know. If it was an accident, they
should have been more careful with
their poison. If they did it intention¬
ally, then they should be avoided like
you would avoid a rattlesnake.
“Anybody who will poison an inno¬
cent little dog without provocation- will
under very slight provocation
poison you!” TREMBLING VOICE
HIS
Ted said, “That’s what I think.”
And his trembling young voice said
a lot more than just that. Then he
wanted to know what he should do.
“Get you another dog,” I said, “and
get him as soon as you can. Every
boy needs office a dog.” wall, picture
On my 1 have a
my wife kept hanging at her It dresser is
mirror for nearly 40 years. a
picture of me carrying the Atlanta
Journal up at Buford 50 years ago.
You can see the date on the front
page of the paper I have under my
arm and my dog, Spot, is sitting there
at my feet, proud to be part of the
team. You can see the pride in his
eyes. When kill boy’s kill
you a dog, you
something in the little boy, and that’s
hard to live with and especially hard
to sleep with. 1 hope the man who
poisoned Ted’s little dog will re¬
member.

A GOOD NEWSPAPER
Editor Floyd W. Shaylor of the
Plain City, Ohio, Advocate, has some¬
thing important to say about news¬
papers: “A strong editorial policy is
the best indication of a good news¬
paper. It matters not whether an in¬
dividual agrees with what a newspaper
says editorially — whether it does the matter reader, a
great deal as to
through the medium of the editorial,
gives consideration and thought to the
subject at hand. If he strongly opposes
a newspaper’s opinion, it is all for the
best since it indicates that he has read
and considered the subject and has
found it to be contrary to his own be¬
liefs . . . We will never complain be¬
cause we have that accomplished our read real
purpose — of causing you to
what we have to say!”

WHAT IS A MAN AT HIS BEST?
Speaking before the youth at a
fathers’ day dinner the head of one of
the big schools of the country had tliis
to say:
To be a cultured gentleman, one does
not need to wear clothes cut in the
latest fashion, or to be able to judge
the vintage of a choice wine. He does
not need to command a nicety of lan¬
guage, gathering. or a superior manner at a social
1
spirit Basically, he needs to have a deep
of altruism, an urge to aid his
fellowmen, and especially thus to aid
by his depth and breadth of thought
and his skill in imparting his ideals
to those about him. He may not call
himself a cultured gentleman, or allow
others to do so; he may dislike the
term — he must aspire to be a leader,
and a leader whose eminence is not
based on low cleverness, or dema¬
goguery, or financial power, or clan¬
nishness in any form, but which rather
is based upon presenting to his fellows
ideals and programs which they will
recognize, and be willing to follow be¬
cause of their inherent merit.
He needs to be a forceful individual
to he heard amid the discordant clam¬
or. Above all, he needs to be one who
will have the interest, the patience, the
perseverance to attain a broad and
deep grasp of the current scene in all
its complicated ramifications, and to
ponder thereon as the true basis for
wisdom.
This is an ideal which can be honest¬
ly and emphatically held before our
gifted youth with the firm conviction
that it is worthy of our steel, and that
if they fully grasp it, they will then
be inspired. Throughout our history we.
have had many citizens of this stamp,
otherwise we would not now as a na¬
tion be what we are.
They are all about us today, in posi¬
tions of eminence, and in humble sta¬
tions where their influence is bounded
but none the less salutary. Whether
we continue to prosper, whether we re¬
main secure, whether we develop in
this country a life truly worth living,
depends upon whether in the next gen¬
eration there are enough such men,
sufficiently articulate, sufficiently pow¬
erful in honest and admirable ways, to
guide us around the rocks in our path
and lead us to the heights.—Ft. Mor¬
gan (Colo.) Times
ARE WE WORRYING ABOUT
WRONG DEBTS?
Even though most of the things in
this country were built on credit, debt
is still looked upon as being the road
to ruin. It is a favorite whipping
boy of the demagogue and the politi¬
cian. And the statement that a federal
debt in this country exceeding $75,
000,000,000 would unquestionably lead
to complete national insolvency is still
well recalled—even though our debt
is now more than three times that
figure.
But we seldom worry about the
right debts.
Because it is all pulled together in
one place, our net federal debt is
usually looked upon as the one most
likely to knock the bottom out of our
boat. Yet on a per person basis, our
federal debt has actually declined
slightly during the last ten years. In
1947-49 the net federal debt, on a per
person basis for our labor force aver¬
aged $3,500. By 1956-58 it had de¬
clined, on a per person basis, to
$3,240. Actually it had not declined
of course. Our population, had grown
and the debt per person was less than
it had been ten years earlier.
But during that same period, a pri¬
vate debt in this country had in¬
creased on a per person basis, from
$3,140 to $5,900—a whopping 58 per
cent increase. That seemed like a lot.
But take a look at state and local
government debt where in 1947-49 it
averaged $260 per person. By 1956-58
it had increased to $610 per person—
an increase of 135 per cent in ten
years whereas on the per person basis
the federal debt has actually declined
7 per cent during that period.
This is not to prove the debt—be
it state, local, private or federal—is
good or bad but these figures do reveal
some trends worth bearing in mind
as we go about this business of de¬
ciding what we can afford to do our¬
selves and what our governments can
afford to do.—Iowa Falls (la.) Citizen.
