Regular Correspondent.
I “Citizenship”
On the front page of the AtlnP
j in Journal it few days n ' > appear
ed portions of a Sneecti that had!
been made by Judge Nash R '
Broyles to the young men of I is I
home city, Atlanta.
Tlie thoughts to wh’cii he g ve
utterance and the facts he express
ed are Wvlthy of the consideration
of al' those who really know what
citizenship demands.
After being judge of the Record
ers Court for about a score of years
le is well qualified to give advice
on! fou'd it on facts; but frag
nents of the speech are as follow i:
"The time of adouple standard
■ I morality for man or woman lias
laseed. It has come to a point
vhere a young man sin,old ae, p
lis uindas clean as he exspecte
his sister to keep hers,” said City
Recorder Nash R. Broyles in an I
iddress g’ven under the auspices!
if tlie Christian Endeavor society ‘
of the Inman Park Presdyterian i
church Thursday night.
The subject of Judge Broyles’
address was ‘‘Citizenship”
J Citing actual instances from the
police court, he made a strong
plea for upright living. He aim
ed his remarks for the ears of the
youths presant, but he was ap
plauded by old and young alike.
In his address tlie recorder took
an opportunity to pay a tribute to
Cheif of Police Beavers.
“Chief Beavers/ be said,
J “proved himself a greater mini
Caesar when he elosed the
'noti6 c 'e in the eegregarecl ffisu let.
I He took his job and probably
i his life in his hands when he did
it. It was a feat greater than
than Caesar’s mossing tlie Rubicon
to capture Rome. For Caesar
made himself a law breaker to bat
tle for hie cause, while Cheif
Beavers simply upheld the law
.which bis constituents had made.
He became a defender of law-”
Judge Broyles also criticized the
system of ministering justice
through courts in the United
States and condemned the fre
queiit lapses in its application by
the courts.
He said that as long as the ap
parent leniency of the American
sex scheme exists, crime will be
rampant.
‘ In London he said, “according
to statistics, there wire only
twenty murders in 1912, while in
Birmingham, Ala. there were JOG
in tlie same space of tune. Lon
don has a population of 7.000.000;
Birmingham, 140,000.
"We find a low percentage ot
crime all ov< r British territory,”
be continued. ‘The reason is that
technicalities and legal battle back
ed by money do not retard th*
word of the courts. In British pos
sessions 80 per cent of the crimi
nals arrested are punished In
America the percentage is 20. Io
four-fifths of the cases crimes go
unpunished in this country.”
! Come to Colquitt.
The weather has settled, and the
farmers should get busy in their
crops.
