IMN BEFORE CAMERA 2 QMS Democratic Nominee Having His Picture Taken for Campaign Posters. SEAGIRT, Aug. B.—Governor Wilson left here on the 9:42 train for New York this morning to have his portrait done by Seymour Thomas, the artist who contributes the governor’s portrait to the Democratic campaign fund. The governor will give a series of sittings for the next two days. He expects to return to Seagirt tomorrow evening or early Saturday morning. The portrait will be used for the re production of campaign lithographs. The governor will see Chairman Mc- Combs and the other members of the campaign committee while in New York. Chairman McCombs breakfasted this morning with Governor Plaisted of Maine, who is very anxious to have Governor Wilson make a few' campaign speeches in his state the first week tn September. Chairman McCombs took lunch with Governor Marshall, the vice presiden tial nominee, who has offered to go to Maine in place of Governor Wilson. Governor Wilson was in good spirits after the ordeal of yesterday’s noti fication ceremonies. Just as he was boarding the train his secretary handed him a large batch of congratulatory telegrams. Wilson’s Speech Pleases Watterson LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. B.—Com, menting on Woodrow Wilson’s speech -if acceptance, Henry Watterson says: "It was a day of good w’ords and good imen at Seagirt yesterday. There was tbout the formal opening of the Demo, ■ratic campaign an air that was any thing but perfunctory, that was charged with significance of great and vital things. “It is not exaggeration to say that Governor Wilson’s address in accept ance of the nomination of the Balti more convention was exceptionally im pressive and inspiring. That it would be scholarly, thoughtful and well ex pressed was expected as a matter of course. That it would be marked by the ability of the man of intellect, the student both of books and affairs, was equally anticipated. But with all this its real force was the force of the in telligence, the acuteness, the clarity with which the student has analyzed conditions, and the courage, the sin cerity and sanity with which he ap proaches the responsibility of their rec tification. With a thorough apprecia tion of the fact that there has been a great awakening of the people and that the country is at the beginning of a new epoch, he defines his conception of the responsibilities which the voters of the United States are to place upon his shoulders with no suggestion of cow ardice, yet no taint of demagogy. In his masterly treatment of the tariff and trusts he urges that our policy in work ing reform should be neither rash nor timid, and this lack of both rashness and timidity characterizes the defini tion of his attitude on the various im portant questions touched upon in his address. "The party to which the country is to intrust the administration of its government next March is fortunate in having so lucid and forcible a spokes man, and the country will be doubly fortunate if, under the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, it shall see realized the soundly progressive policies enun ciated by him at Seagirt yesterday.” ACQUITTED OF KILLING THEIR BROTHER-IN-LAW HARTWELL, GA., Aug. B.—At the preliminary trial of Henry and Ellis Nixon for the killing of John Heaton on Friday night, August 2, the Nixon boys were exonerated of the charge and left the court house free men. It appeared from the testimony of witnesses that John Heaton was the aggressor. Heaton had attended revi val services on the night of the shoot ing. Heaton, who had been drinking heavily during the afternoon, went to the home of the Nixons to see his nine-months-old baby. Mrs. Heaton before her marriage was a Miss Nixon, and on account of a misunderstanding some weeks previous she had been living at the home of her father. Mrs. Nixon ordered him to leave the house, when he threatened to shoot her. The Nixon boys interfered, the killing being the result.

None the Less It Is Well to Have the Old Ideas and Principles Put Out Under New Names. The Bull Moose political baby is born—a healthy baby, and an enthusiastic birth. The people will hear more of this baby, and more of the new party as the campaign progresses. Newspapers that belittle the Roosevelt movement and believe that they can obtain results with insincere criticism and sneers will be disappointed. The people of this country are ready for something new. some thing different from the old machine routine. And Roosevelt, in spite of past mistakes, sudden shifting, proba ble future blunders and much public misgiving, will have an attentive hearing from the ninety million of citizens, wotpen. babies. Indians and idiots in this country. Readers of the Hearst newspapers, more than any other body of citizens, will consider with interest the Roosevelt program which is.handed out as NEW. The ideas that Roosevelt now offers to the nation with his in dorsement, readers of the Hearst papers have discussed and indorsed for years past. Roosevelt, before he made his speech and enunciated “his” ideas, expressed his belief that many would call him an anarchist or a socialist when they learned what he thought. Hundreds of thousands of our readers can remember the day when Mr. Roosevelt himself used to call the Hearst papers anarchis tic and socialistic because they expounded and indorsed the very ideas which he gives out today as NEW. Mr. Roosevelt indorses the plain truth that women should be allowed to vote and have their share in the government of the country. Our readers have long discussed and indorsed that plain truth. Mr. Roosevelt demands the election of United States senators by the popular vote. For years, in this newspaper and other Hearst newspapers, our readers have followed editorials demanding that the election of sena tors be taken away from a handful of purchaseable legislators and given to the people, who alone should have the power. Mr. Roosevelt indorses the Initiative which would let the people start legislation for themselves; Referendum, which ivould compel legislative bodies to give the people a chance to pass upon important legislation, and the Recall, which would permit the people to dis charge unfaithful servants. Our readers know how long and how earnestly we have x insisted upon those measures. The strengthening of the pure food law is one of Mr. Roosevelt's “'New ideas.” . Insurance, old age pensions for employees, Mr. Roosevelt thinks are needed. Regulation of the conditions of labor, limitation of the hours of work for women, prohibition of child labor, those are some of Mr. Roosevelt’s exciting “NEW IDEAS.” Our readers have discussed and thought and talked upon those subjects for many years past. Mr. Roosevelt advocates “Internal Waterways Improvements.” Our readers advocate such improvements. And in New York city the readers of the Hearst paper. The Evening Journal, actually passed the canal bill—and appropriated the money that is now building the barge canal from Buffalo to New York. And every politician in New York knows that was done by the readers of The New York Evening Journal. Mr. Roosevelt believes in government ownership of Alaska rail roads. Our readers will smile at that feeble dose of public ownership doctrine. But they will be thankful for small blessings in new' par ties. Mr. Roosevelt demands a larger navy. We have so often discussed that with our readers and advocated peace through preparation that we scarcely venture to mention the subject again. Mr. Roosevelt demands “fortification of th? Panama canal.” The Hearst newspapers did more than demand it. The Hearst newspapers brought about fortification of the canal by campaign that began the instant the impertinent suggestion was made that the new' door to our nation should be left unguarded. Mr. Roosevelt’s “new' ideas” are interesting, and they are also dear old friends. They are ideas that will rule in this country, eventually, although Mr. Roosevelt may not be at the top of the ad ministration that shall apply all of them or any of them. Women will vote and have their share in the national work of legislation, taxation, initiative, referendum and recall. Governments will w'isely, judiciously and conservatively acquire more and more control and ownership of natural monopolies. The public will be strengthened and protected through effective pure food law's. The government,' that has hitherto confined its interests in health to hogs, young colts, sheep and poultry, will eventually interest it self in the NATIONAL health and do as much for the human baby as it has done for the babies of swine. Old age will be protected against poverty, against hunger and the sorrows of anxiety. The old will no longer be left at the mercy of grafting politicians managing poor houses. They will be protected and made happy in their old age—and the public will be richer in stead of poorer as the result of the transition. Labor conditions will be regulated by the nation, and wages will be regulated as regards the minimum. Women who create the race will be protected against shame fully long hours, and eventually, let us hope, relieved of all hard, manual labor. Children will be protected against the vultures that have exploited them and turned their young blood and bones and life into dollars. These things will be done by men greater and abler than Theo- THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1912. THEY COMPLAIN THAT COL. ROOSEVELT CROWNS HIMSELF—BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS? it uL• An indignant newspaper shows Theodore Roosevelt in the act of crowning himself president of the United States. That may offend certain demure citizens. But we submit that there is something worse in a republic than to see a man make himself president. That which is shown in this picture is infinitely worse—the crown of power put on the head of a public official by money. dore Roosevelt; by a public enthusiastic again, earnest and en lightened. These ideas are old, old to our readers, and old to men that died before our readers were born. Every repetition of such ideas is a blessing and a help. And, therefore, Roosevelt, taking as his own that which he formerly de rided, offering as new that which is as old as human justice, is a public servant and a useful man. His success or failure is not important. But the success of the IDEAS upon which he seeks to build another lease of power is vitally important. And if his personality can bring new thought to bear upon great subjects, if his voice and manner can attract attention, SO MUCH THE BETTER. He will help to sow the seed and the harvest will be good— WHATEVER MAY HAPPEN TO HIM. YOUNG WIDOW SUES BRIDEGROOM TO GET GEMS AND COIN BACK J. F. Mayer, recently married to Miss Lulie Simmons, of No. 10 Williams street, and shortly after arrested upon complaint of a young widow, Mrs. Ger trude Frazier, of LaFayette, Ala., is to day facing other charges of the young Alabama woman, and is under S4OO bond as a result. Mrs. Frazier entered suit In superior court against him late yesterday after noon for recovery of a S2OO diamond stud and a cash loan of SSO.

REMOVAL OF ERSKINE FOUNT TO PIEDMONT PARK IS NEWEST PLAN The park board and the streets com mittee will recommend to the council that the location of the Judge John Er skine memorial fountain, at the junc tion of the Peachtrees and Baker street, be changed. A number of citizens peti tioned for the action, and the council is expected to adopt a resolution request ing the park board to find a more suit able location. Forrest Adair, who spoke for the cit izens at a mass meeting, said the foun tain should be taken better care of and that in its present location it had become an undesirable loafing place. It is expected that the fountain will be placed in Piedmont park. The fountain is one of the most beau tiful works of art in the city. No ap propriation has been made for its up keep for a number of years. In Pied mont park the regular appropriation for the park would be sufficient to beautify its surroundings with a grassy plot and keep the fountain in working order.

Fulton county’s plan to take part In the primary in the Thirty-fifth sena . torlal district failed to materialize yes terday afternoon when the district ex ecutive committee met to arrange de tails. Instead of opposing Cobb and Clayton counties, the Fulton members decided to co-operate with the repre sentatives of the other counties to w’ork the state legislature for separate sena- I torial district for Fulton.

B.—The United States senate defied Great Britain in her Panama canal protest when, by a vote of 44 to 11, about midnight last night it refused to strike from the Pan ama canal bill the provision exempting American ships from payment of tolls for passage through the Panama canal. The defeat of the Burton amendment to strike out the discrimination in fa vor of American ships was the senate’s answer to the protest of Great Britain against the legislation. It was this clause of the bill which led Great Britain to send a formal protest to the state department. The failure of the amendment means that the provision will be kept in the bill. The only senators to vote for the Burton amendment were Brandegee, Burton, Crane, Fall, Gronna, Lodge. Nelson, Oliver, Penrose, Root and Wet more. The vote was reached at 11:30 p. m.. following eleven and. a half hours of debate. ; Hoke Smith’s Amendment The senate also adopted an amend--. rnent offered by Senator Hoke Stnltih, of Georgia, providing that the only ships to be exempted from tolls Ws thos£ engaged “exclusively” In the. coastwise trade. This would bar Ships which engage partly in the foreign trade and are thus brought in competi tion with foreign ships. He added a provision that sueh ships when exempted from the payment of tolls should relieve the government! from all liability for damage to ship* np-gsengers and crew while passing through the canal. As first introduced, the amendment would have required American coast wise ships to pay the actual expense, of this passage, but Senator Bristow ob jected that if the cost of operating ths canal was $3,600,000 a year and only one ship went through, its tolls . would be $3,500,000.
