IT'S NAKED ISSUE
OF RIGHT AND
WRONG
—SAYS ROOSEVELT.
Fails to “See How an Honora
ble Man Can Profit by
Such Trickery.”
NEW YORK, June 11.—In an arti
cle entitled “A Naked Issue of Right j
and Wrong." which appears in the cur- I
rent issue of the Outlook. Theodore
Roosevelt discusses the situation at
Chicago in part as follows:
"The contest for the Republican nom
ination has now narrowed down to a
naked issue of right and wrong: for
the issue is simply whether or not we
Shall permit a system of naked fraud,
of naked theft from the people, to
triumph.
"I have made this contest on two
great principles—first, the right of the
people to rule, and. therefore, in the
exercise of their deliberate judgment
to control their government and their
governmental agents: arid, second,
their duty so to rule as to bring about
not only political but social and in
dustrial justice.
Will Not Submit to Bosses.
"I have endeavored everywhere to
Appeal, not to the politicians, but to
the people themselves, and to get.Jheir
judgment, stating scores of times that
J would do my best to convert them
to iny way of thinking', that I should
acquiesce as a matter of course in their
judgment, if it was adverse, but that
if their judgment was favorable. I
did not intend tamely to submit to an
effort by the politicians to throw aside
the verdict of the people and substi
tute a fake verdict of their own. This
Is precisely what Mr. Barnes, Mr. Mc-
Kinley and their associates and repre
sentatives on the national commit
tee at Chicago are now attempting.
“Honorable Man Would Not Profit.”
“Ohio went by over 30,000 majority
against Mr. Taft at the primaries, but
the Taft managers had refused to per
mit a vote to be taken at the prima
ries for the delegates at large, and in ;
the state convention by adroit polit- |
leal trickery they sent six Taft dele- •
gates to vote at Chicago for the man
whom his own state had just repudiat- 1
ed by 30,000 majority.
“I fail myself to see how an hon
orable man can profit by or take part |
in such a piece of trickery as this |
Ohio stale convention ‘victory.' In the
same way, 1 fail to see how an honor
able man can profit by or connive al i
or approve of the farcical New York
county primaries.
“But the caste was far worse in
Washington, in Indiana, in Michigan.
In many of these cases the Taft dele
gates represent absolutely nothing but
fraud, as vulgar, as brazen and as
cynically open as any ever committed
by the Tweed regime in New York
forty-odd years ago.
"Mr. Taft can not be nominated un
less he getet the overwhelming ma- 1
jority of the rotten borough states j
which never cast a Republican electo- ,
ral vote, and in which the delegations |
represent only the office-holders.
“Even if he gets practically all the |
delegates from these states, he can not I
■be nominated unless, by deliberate
fraud, in such states as Indiana. Mich
igan and Washington, not to mention
others, the Republicans are defrauded
out of their right to express their
preference as to who is to get their
votes. He can be nominated only by
disregarding the expressed will of an
overwhelming majority of two and a
half million of Republicans who. from
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania to
Illinois and California, have voted as
to their choice for president.’

GEORGIA PEACRES
SPEEDING NORTH
Movement of Trainloads of Iced
Fruit Now on in Earnest.
Receiving Good Prices.
The Georgia peach is flying North
ward this week. 'The movement has
almost reached its height and the rail
ways between Atlanta and the East
are being taxed to handle the enor
mous shipments.
Special trains, operated on passen
ger schedules and cutting the time
from Atlanta to New York to 26 hours,
are carrying the cars of iced fruit.
The peaches, by car lots, are coming
to Atlanta*daily. and the yards ar'
busier than at any time in the imst
year, making up fast trains for Easr
bound traffic. Atlanta is the corner,-
tration point for all fruit from south
Georgia points, and most of the wmk
Is done at night, when the daily busi
ness is out of the way.
Plenty of Cars Readv
The Southern and other rilwaj-.j
anticipating a big crop, have been pre- I
paring for weeks, moving < rnpty ears.
Southward and storing them in y,
enlarging the icing plant in . Inman
Yards. Atlanta, and arranging sched
ules which will cause no delay in the
transmission of the perishable freight.
It is believed that there will be an am
ple supply of cars this season. e\,n
for the phenomenal crop exnected.
The icing plant in Inman Yards Ir.d
been enlarged and overhaulec. Tracks
and platforms have been extended to
permit the handling of 24 cars at one
time, and only 15 minutes is required
to ice this number properly. The dou
ble-tracking of the Southern railway
is expected to be conrideted this week,
giving the road great facilities for the
rush fruit season.

A Pitiable Domestic Tragedy,
in Which One of the Inno
cent Is Scalped.
Little Minnie Caverly went out for a
1 walk with Dora on Peachtree street
: today, and that's how the tragedy oc
curred. Perhaps there wouldn't have
been a tragedy if Minnie hadn't been so
careful of Dora. But she was afraid to
brav the terrors of the motor-crowded
str. el with her best-beloved child in
her arms, so she laid Dora on the
balustrade of the front steps. And Dora
fell off.
Total loss of scalp and all its really
truly hair. Several severe contusions
and | rhaps nervous shock were the
casualties shown after a close exami
nation. Minnie took the victim in her
arms and sat down and wept.
Fm- fifteen minutes Minnie poured
out her soul in catchy sobs. Tiien she
clasped Dora closer than ever and ear
rie'd her into the house for surgical
treatinc nt.
A needle and thread, a bit of glue and
a deft hand compl. ted the operation
and then Dora sat up and opened her
eyes as though nothing had happened.
She couldn't smile any wider than be
fore. But Minnie did.

Funds Are Available.
Despite the alleged inability of coun

SCRIBES INSPECT
TALLULAH FALLS
Officials of Power Company
and Local Newspaper Men
Make Trip to Falls.
Atlanta newspapermen, piloted by
Milt Saul, publicity director of the
Georgia Railway and Power Company,
left for Tallulah Falls today to go
over the great work now under way
which will develop the water power of
the Tallulah river and convert it into
electrical energy for turning wheels in
Atlanta. The party left early this
morning and will spend the whole day
at the plant.
The Georgia Railway and Power
Company, the great merger into which
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany and a dozen smaller concerns
were amalgamated some time ago, and
which is capitalized at $57,000,000, is
developing 90.000 horsepower at its
Tallulah plant, which will be only one
of several water power units now un
der construction or planned for the
future. It is believed that in a few
years Atlanta will be offered electric
power so cheaply that the use of steam
coal will be to a large extent abandoned
land that the use of the electric cur
i rent will go a long way to solve the
smoke nuisance problem which has giv
en the city so much trouble.
One Dam Over Half Done.
Two great dams, a tunnel and a
power house are the chief feature of
the work at Tallulah. The lower dam
is about two-thirds finished. It is be
ing built by the Hardaway Construc
tion Company, and all the rock used
comes from a quarry just below the
dam. The tunnel, which carries the
water, is to be about 6,660 feet long.
12 feet wide at its widest point and 14
feet high at the top of the arch. It
will be lined with 12 inches of concrete.
The tunnel is now about half finished.
The development of Tallulah Falls
will cost the company about $11,000,000,
and the work will be finished in about
a year. It is expected to furnish elec
tric current to Atlanta. Cartersville,
Rome, Gainesville. LaGrange and other
Georgia cities. It will be the largest
hydro-electric power unit soutli of Ni
agara Falls, and the greatest plant In
the Southern field now being developed
by the Georgia Railway and Power
Company.
Reduced Rates Promised.
.1, sharp reduction in electric rates,
as soon as the power from Tallulah
reaches Atlanta, hast already been
promised by the company, and is ex
pected that in a year or two after the
plant is completed Atlanta will be truly
an “electric city” with motors taking
the place of private steam plants and
the use of soft coal almost entirely
abandoned.
LAWYERS PLEADING
CASE BEFORE JURY
IN HAWKINS TRIAL
HENDERSONVILLE. N. C.. June 11.
By late this afternoon the Jury will
have the case of the seven defendants
on trial here charged with being firin-
Clpals and accessories in the death of
Myrtle Hawkins, who mysteriously dis
appeared in September. 1911, and whose
body is alleged to have been recovered
from Lake Osceola. All testimony has
now been heard and the lawyers are
making their arguments. J. E. Ship
man, for tlif- defense, concluded his ar
gument Monday, after having spoken 30
minutes on Saturday afternoon. The
chief speeches are being made today by
A. Hall Johnston, for the prosecution,
and Thomas Settl«. for the defense. S.
S. McCall spoke for the defense yester
day afternoon, he being counsel for
Mrs. Lizzie Shaft, and Mrs. Nora Britt,
two of the alleged accessories. Attor
ney Shipman, in his address to the jury
today, declared that there was more
real suspicion against the Hawkins
family than against the defendants on
trial for the disappearance of Myrtle.

NEWS, IS COURT RULING
RICHMOND. VA„ June 11. Con
temporaneous reports of testimony
taken in open court, however objec

mate and may be circulated in tile

While specifically upholding the free
dom of tin- press, the court suggested
that reputable newspapers would be
governed by common decency in acting
under that confirmed right. The in
dictment was ordered quashed.
The case grew out of the publication

Peachtree
Milt Saul, Auto-Crat,
Hunts Joker With Club.
Milt Saul, who is prominently con
nected with the electric company, as
the society department always says,
bought an automobile this season. Miit
used to be a newspaper man, and a trol
ley ride on his expense account repre
sented his idea of luxurious transpor
tation then. But circumstances alter
finances, and Mr. Saul invested in a
runabout.
The first day he drove down to his
office he left bis car in front. n f t |le
building. That evening, when his la
bors were over, he absent-mindedly
climbed aboard a trolley and started
home. He was nearly there before he
remembered his gas wagon. Back to
town for him.
But tlie car wasn't there. Milt toid
the janitor, the police and the govern
ment secret service department, but
they couldn’t locate it.
Next day it turned up in an alley
around the coiner, where some playful
friend had driven it for a joke on Milt.
But he says when he finds that guy the
bump of humor on his head will look
like a hollow spot compared to other
-ans Xiueppns upw qjiq.« saauaose.i.ixa

Chinese Laundrymen
Adopt Business Names.
There is a Chinese laundry near the
Imperial hotel, run by a Celestial who
jubilates in the name of Num Lee.
There is nothing astonishing or re
markably peculiar about that, to be sure,
but it started one of the guests to talk
ing, and this is what he said:
"Ever since my student days I have
hail my doubts about- Chinese names—-
or rather, the names Chinamen employ
for commercial purposes in this coun
try.
"In the little town where I went to
college there was a Chinese laundry
with a sign hanging out in front read
ing 'Wall t tee.’
“It is said that one of the college
students fixed up that laundrynian s
sign, when the almond-eyed one first
opened shop in that town: and that
when the student came to painting it
tile Chinaman merely told him to tlx up
some name that would get the business
—and ’Wan Shee" was wiial the Chink
drew. The Chinese, however, always
denied the story.
“Os course, everything may have been
all right and his name may have been
‘Wah Shee,’ but —well, I’ve had serious
misgivings with respect to Chinese
nomenclature ever since, nevertheless!”
Society Hoodwinked
By Former Chauffeur.
This is the sad, sad story of a man
who was not what he seemed, and the
moral is that you can go a long time
without being found out if you'll only
keep your mouth shut.
He was well dressed and quiet, and
altogether gentlemanly in appearance,
and when he turned up at one of At
lanta’s best hotels as the agent of an
automobile factory he made friends
readily. He was excessively modest:
even diffident; but several society folk
took him up.
"Where have I s--en that face before?
And then s something about the back
er his head that’s familiar,” some of
the women remarke' 1 . But the s'ranger
w is politely positive that he had never
been introduced io any Atlantans in
the past.
He had a ear, and one afternoon he
took several new-found friends to
drive. One of the guests suggested that
they stop at a fashionable club for al
tea and highballs. They did.
N< xt day th-' Atlantan received a
card from the club.
"Please do not bring Mr. Blank to
the club again,” it said.
The Atlantan was shocked. He was
pained. He was sore. He called up
the steward.
"What's the objection to Mr. Blank?”
he asked.
"Oh, nothing, except he is '.hat high
priced chauffeur Mrs. Peachtree
brought down from New York last year
and then fired,” was the reply. “He
drove her out to the club very fre
quently. Maybe you didn’t recognize
him without his livery.”
That afternoon the ex-chauffeur,
who had blossomed into an auto sales
man, faded from the hotel.
Girls Buying Sox—For
Brothers, of Course.
About every third young woman who I
goes into a Peachtree department store |
these dais purchases -not silk, lace or |
taffeta, but an abundant supply of half- i
hose —sox. And she doesn't purchase]
ordinary kirn..--, - it'o- . \\ lien it s not j
pure silk, it's fancy styles and open i
works. She says they are for "broth- j
er.”
Just why brother should need s-. '
many sox at this particular season of
the year Is the cause of much puzzle
ment to the clerks. Ami why should :
brother be paying a dollar per pair t
when he ordinarily employs only a
quarter —or al the most a half-dollar? !
In addition to this, the young women
have been purchasing a very ornate
style of garter which brother might
wear, of course, but which he never has
worn so far as the records go.
This fact, coupled with two others,
has aided the puzzled clerks in arriving
at a conclusion, which conclusion, by
the by, will go unmentioned here.
The facts are these: Firstly, ex
tremely tight skirts are still in vogue;
secondly, half hose are much cooler
than whole hose.

Thomas Stevens Also Finds
Much Material in Atlanta for
Historical Review.
Members of the Atlanta Art associa
tion are awaiting with keen interest
the appointment of a committee by
Mrs. S. M. Inman, the president, to
consider details of the great historical
pageant to be held in Atlanta. When
the committee is appointed it will pro
ceed to take up plans for the event,
considering the cost of carrying It
through, the revenue that may be ex
pected and the details of its arrange
ments.
Thomas Woods Stevens, of the Chi
cago Art institute, in an address to
the association in the Capital City club
told of the important points to be
brought out in the pageant, and the
no.st striking scenes and the best way
to present them. He declared Georgia
ind Atlanta, offer more dramatic his
torical scenes than any state and city
he has visited.
“Probably the coming of Oglethorpe
from a debtor's prison to free Amer
ica to make the place in history he
did is of more dramatic Interest than
any part of Georgia’s history.” said Mr.
Stevens.
Not Me-ely a Street Parade.
“In the pageant fve want to bring
out such points. We do«not want to
have merely a street parade. We want
lit'■ and reality in it from the start to
the finish, and should bring out char
acters and events. Pick out some of
the great, accomplishments of the city
and present them in a dramatic man
ner. Make each scene a place in it
self. separate from all the rest, that
every important part of it may be
presented in Its entirety.
“Amateurs can carry the parts as
well as professionals. When they ap
peal* in a pageant they are before the
people only a few moments and in
that time, even if their power of rep
resentation of a character is limited,
the parts are interesting through the
short scene."
A number of scenes were suggested
by Mr. ritevens, including the landing
of DeSato and Oglethorpe, their march
I across the wilderness, and later his
torical events of Georgia and Atlanta.
Mr. Stevens returned to Chicago last
night, where he will begin the work
of writing the play on which the pa
geant is to be founded.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
