JEL I®// * I— V ,I ■ L Today's Sidelights On S ite Politics By JAMES B. NEVIN. AViliiam H. Fleming has, withdrawn from the race for congress in the Tenth district, and thus insures Mr. Hat-dr wick's unopposed return to Washington as his own successor. ■ ' , in withdrawing, Mr. Fleming gave to thJH,public a particularly frank, lucid and manly card. He found that it would be impossible to continue his fight without intensifying the bitterness already rampant throughout his dis trict. In retiring he seeks to deliver a message of peace and good will that should, and doubtless will, commend him most cordially 'an'd sincerely to the high esteem and respect of, his con stituents. In his card Mr. Fleming pays a re markable and splendid—and deserved tribute to Tom Watson. He and Wat son were for years the most implacable of enemies—Watson. Indeed, was the direct influence: that repioved Fleming from congress just wnen his career was rounding into its finest forni. Du-ing all these years of retirement Fleming -has asked no quarter, of his enemies. He- has lieid a dignified silence.'and trusted tiine to right the wrong of the long.ago. AVhen recently Watson, of his own accord, came to Fleming and asked forgiveness for the injury of the past and sought to right it in such measure as he might, it touched a tender- spot ' in Fleming's heart, and he responded to the advances of toe "red-headed one." and agreed -to let bygones be bygones. William H Fleming is one of Geor gia's brainiest and soundest men. He deserves much more than he ever has received. Georgia would profit by Fleming's presence in congress, and thousands of Georgians would have been pleased to see him returned, How ever that may be- —and some will view it one way. thezwhile others view it another —it will seem to -many that Mr. Fleming's recent brief participa tion in the politics of the Tenth was worth while, after ail. for it has cleared up the atmosphere down tha; way. tn a measure—and that was something worth the trouble of doing. In retiring. Mr. Pielining takes high and dignified ground. He gets out gracefully, and with added prestige. It costs a pretty penny to p'ay the game of politics nowadays, any way you look at it. < >ne would think that so, high and mighty an office as United States sena tor. with all of its great dignity and so forth, might be sought with compara tively little expense—if one were care less in his thinking—but It Is not so. it costs to b“ a senator, —'even to ask io be made a senate*.

N. Jackson, pastor of St. Anthoriys, has taken a firm stand in the matter. He believes that these vanities have no place in the ceremo nies of the c hurch. He believes that if the-women are forbidden wearing such raiment in church they will cease wear ing them on the s'treet. When they cease wearing them in the street, >he thinks, a great good -will be done wom anhood. Immodest Clothing Worn. Therefore, he Has announced that in the future there will be no persons pos sessed of “peek-a-boo" in the pews of his church, w-hile the hobble skirt wili be greeted with equal disfavor. "It i$ a deplorable fact that there are many young women in Atlanta streets daily who wear immodest cloth, ing," said Father Jackson. "The Cath olic church-is against such a custom, and I mean positively to forbid such dress in my church. "By immodest clothing I mean the clinging skirts and low -cut or sleeve less waists often seen in the most pub lic places. Such drosses will not even be allowed in a church reception here. "When in the business section of the city-.] have often seen young women dressed in costumes that are little Ips.- than shocking. They bring remarks from men on the streets when lite wearers step into street cars 01 even pass down the street. Want to Show Pretty Necks. "1 think the women do not intend.to do the harm their suggestive costumes bring .about. They are vain—have pretty shoulders, a beautiful neck or. shapely, arms, and simply like to show them. Fashions are formed by this same vanity. New dresses are some times introduced for no other reason than they display the graceful lines of. a woman's form—and a dress that does, this is always a popular one. "A suggestive dress is jnore harmful than a vulgar costume. The latter would arouse disgust in men. As it is. some dresses of the latest fashion bring ideal; of lax morals to the young men who view them. That is why they wjll not be allowed in my church. At serv ice worldly thoughts should not be aroused, and I believe one of the most common causes for them is the dress of some of our women. Tney must have the entire body covered w ith the cloth ing approved of by our modest people, if they wish a part in St. Anthonys church." Father Jackson spoke of the present day costumes of .women upon learning of such dresses being barred from services by Cardinal Cavaliari, at Vienna, recently. The cardinal spoke from his pulpit and stated that lie would in future bar such dresses from his church. rules committee to fix it so that mem bers will be refused permissTon to ex plain their votes—that will get the old man, for if the house refuses him per mission to cX-plain, he wili explain every vote he casts, in spite of the warm place and high' water!” Am) the thing was fixed so tliat mem bers could not exp'ain their vote- -and true to prediction.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13—Two hun dred person- were killed, one hundred of them townspeople, following an at tack on the town of Ixtapa, in the state of Mexico, by Genevevo De l<a Or’.-; band of Zapatists. Today the soldiers have withdrawn from the town and are marching toward Toluca, the capital ot the state, which is only fifteen miles distant. The fight and massacre at Ixtapa oc curred late yesterday after the rebels had been repulsed by a garrison of 600 federate at Teriancino, a town in the vicinity of Ixtapa. A garrison of 100 rurales guarded the latter place. The rebels charged and drove the rurales back into the narrow streets of the vil lage. There they began a murderous fire, and hardly one of the rurales es caped. Thon the rebels marched through the streets, shooting and -tabbing any one they met. Among the dead, it is said, are a few women and children. Two hundred bodies lay in the streets, ac cording to reports today, after the reb els had withdrawn. Rebels in the vicinity and at Toluca are in a state of panic because of the activity. There is only a small force of federate at Toluca, and it is believed they can not withstand tiie rebel attac k.

Says Lynch. CLEVELAND. OHIO. Aug. 13. -Dis cussion of the Chicago newspaper strike had a prominent place in the annual report of President James M. Lynch, of the Typographical union, at its conven tion here. The report, although not naming the Socialist-, refe" reel to them by un-I mistakable inference, criticising them Sha ply. Regarding the Chicago strike. President Lynch said: "1 have no intention of ‘criticising any member's political belief or at tempting to influence- his political opin ions; those are sacred and they are for rhe individual to form. "But where the questionable phase of politics is Injected into trade disputes, where, in fact, politics is responsible for those trade disputes, whee indus trial disturbance is fomented and prop agated in order to advance or disas trously affect the political fortunes of some particular party or individual, then those members of the trade union movement who allow themselves to be used for sinister purposes are open to i > iticism. if not contempt. "Malicious Revenge." "If the Chicago situation, to which I refer exhaustively in this report, was not caused in the first instance by un de:-the-Surface political effort, then the slimy hand of the professional poli tician and the venal labor leader was in evidence before the incident had progressed very far. Opportunity was presented for the w reaking of .malicious revenge against one publisher who is prominent in national politics. "I i are not the pa ty w hich stoops to avail Itself of the tactics I outline; that party or those members of it who are responsible should be promptly con demned. The International Typograph ical union is the tail of no political kite." One of the Chicago delegates asked that L. P. Straube. of the Chicago Stereotypers union, be given tlie privi lege of addressing the convention on the pr'essmen’s st: ike. President Lynch ruled that L. P. Straube was not a member in good standing of any trade union. I DEAL FOR STATE’S MANSION DEBATED IN LEGISLATURE With the senate and house commit tees playing at cross-purposes, it is doubtful if the present legislature will hit upon a scheme for the disposal of the executive mansion at Peachtree and Cain streets. Several arrangements have been pro. posed and at least three of them are now before the lawmakers. Senator Copelan. chairman of the committee on public buildings in tile upper house, wants the state to swap the mansion for the Peters property in Peachtree street adjoining the Georgian Terrace hotel. Representative Allen is urging a resolution for the sale of the''man sion at public auction for a sum not less than $400,000. If this plan fails, Allen wants to lease the mansion to the B. M. Grant Company and purchase the English property at 468 Peachtree street. It is evident that the Copelan plan to swap for the Peters tract and a boot of SIOO,OOO will receive consideration in the senate and may pass, but the rules committee of the house has failed as yet to listen to Allen. His resolution has not been placed on the calendar. In view of the fact that the house is I; aded with senate bills still to be acted on and that the senate will have its hands full with the special appropria tion bills soon is come from the house a settlement of the mansion dispute is ver., doubtful. Legislator-, at least those members of the public buildings committees who have wrestled with the disposal ques tion, are w illing for a succeeding legis lature to settle the matter.

It is instinc tive in Money to make slaves of men. Money. in Republican control, used and still uses the party to drive the people to the shearing sheds of criminal priv ilege. The Demo.-fa’s protested and still protest against this in their plat form and from thei- stumps. But the Democrats are no more to be trusted than the Republicans. They promise, they protest. But when, from 1893 to 1897. they had not only the white house, but both houses of con gress. they most carefully did nothing. They have shown that as a whole party they are as much beneath tite callous, calculating thumb of Money as are or eve: were tne Republicans. Where fore. for one at least, my preference goes in this campaign to the new third party and to Mr. Roosevelt. Government Is business: president picking is business. The country is but a corporation, a company: the citizens ate the shareholdcis. An election is the shareholders’ meeting. The com pany, the country, is intended to pro duce in favor of the shareholder-citi zen protection to life, limb, liberty and property. Questions For the Citizen. Upon a plain business principle of the most and best for the least, the citizen-shareholder in casting his bal lot should consider government from the standpoint of what he pays and w hat he gets, what it costs and w hat it comes to. As to what the citizen shareholder Is getting in this year of political ungrace—l9l2-you may form your own conclusions by reviewing the conditions—the higher tost of living, for example—which surround you. By casting a wary eye abouk you van -ct tle, in that matter of government, questions of quantity and quality for yourself. Am I not right In comparing the country to a corporation? What is it, indeed, but a merest stock company in which each and all of us hold equal shares? And a president, what is We but the country's business manager when all is in? Also, the post of busi ness manager is of all positions that one where an iron courage and a swe: veless honesty should mokl abide. A feeble or dishonest congressman should mean no more than just a rat aboard a liner. A feeble or dishonest president might well become the' leak that sinks the ship. Here lies the trouble: The every-day American is politically lazy. It ‘grows each year more and more difficult to make him work at his politics in per son. His public idleness arises doubt less from the fact that. with the mounting census of the country, ht feels of less and less account. His self importance gets swamped in a popula tion of 96,000,000. He owns not one twentieth the weight that was his a century ago. The Idler in Politic!. Our duty-shirking idler o' politics is right go far as lie seeks to measure his own shrinking importance to govern ment. And yet lie should remember that while his importance to govern ment has diminished, not a splinter has been whittled from the importance of government to him. The citizen, with 96,000.000 for the country's population, should feet as much concern in select ing a right president as was felt by those who voted for Mr. Marli.on 100 years ago. As practiced and taught by the pat ties. politics becomes the art of arous ing the ignorance of mankind, in this ignorant particular I shall not follow the parties. For myself I am glad that Mr. Roosevelt was robbed at Chicago. It compelled him to create a third party, a party of progress, which is w hat tlie age demand-. True, there are Demo crats who will hesitate to abandon their old pa' ty standards, just as there are Republicans who will find it hard to break their own old party ties. They should not hesitate for that. They should put aside a sentiment which i« eosting them their liberty. Who would tail to pull down a bastMe lest be kilt the ivy on the walls? Parties are like st-’cet cars: no one not a fool will stick to one after it ceases to carry him in the di: ection he shoulei go. The man who is always a Democrat, like the man who is through thick and thin a Republican, is the sheet anchor of the scheming trick turning, managing politician—of the Boss Murphys and the Bois Barneses, who in their evil turn ate but the merest packmasters of criminal privi lege. Also, these changeless folks of party have the same place in politics that the balls have in a game of bil liards; the bosses acting for criminal privilege, knock them about and count off them. Against Petrified Politics. Politics stagnant and without a cur rent. is disastrous for the individual.

Own your party; don't let your party own you. A healthful uncertainly, a hopeful ability to abandon a party going wrong or decline a candidate who lacks fitness, should work for good— good for the public—good for the indi vidual. In politics, as in commerce, no one buys his own. but sells it. Where fore. if you would be listened to and not ignored, enriched and not stripped, become uncertain. <'ease to think that progress consists in standing still or your politics is better for being petri fied. Because I feel that Mr. Wilson and Mr. Tift are too small for the white house. I am opposed to them. They aren't, in my opinion, white house size. Mr. Taft has been weighed and found wanting Mr. Wilson has not been weigh'd; but. judging by what he has w ritten and w hat he has said, by his shifts of principle and corkscrew twists of feeling. 1 should say that, considered from the standpoint of a. white house, mankind would find him only inches where lie should be feet, ounces where he should be pounds. Not that I impute to Mr. Wilson and Mr, Taft their innate smallness as a moral fault. Rather, it should be. charged to the thronged conditions into which they were born. Big populations bear fruit in small mfn. In a crowd the infinitesimal finds its opportunity. To herd men stunts men. Big trees re quire loom and what plant subsists itself upon a fool of earth will never kiss the 1 c louds. It may do for a fish ing rod: it will never furnigh timber for a bridge Not that Mr. Taft and Mr. AVil-on should find fault with their own littleness, it was their littleness, their lack of height and weight and strength whic h gave them their nomi nations. Roosevelt Defies Environment. As a mere man-producer an elder day was a better day than this. As lately even as 50 years ago, there were bears and panthers in the political hills. Those bears and panthers of politics have passed away. Commercialism and the press and crowd of population provided for their disappearance. Commercialism fears the bears, avoids the panthers; population refuses them room. They go. and in their stead come rabbits and Wilsons, red squirrels and Tafts, offending no one, threaten ing nothing. Mr. Roosevelt is big. ir defiance of an environment. After s fashion he is a throwback of politics, and would have better matched a Jack son clay than this. Mr. Roosevelt would fit into the white house day like a picture into a frame. The demand is for laws and e scheme of courts to bring about ai equality of right. We make laws t< prevent the physically strong from beating the physically weak. Shall wt not make laws to prevent the finan cially strong from beating the finan daily weak? The law should be as s pot in the hand of man, s< that when one dips up more than the justice of nature intended, the unfai excess will instantly overflow and re turn to the common store. Os the three named. Mr. Roosevel' is the only one whose force and cour age are equal to the white house work ahead. Also, he knows the peo ple. knows where they and their inter est belong in the procession of govern ment. And he is equal to saying “No!" whenever a negative would make sot popular right. T. R. Strong »nd Bold. Moreover, Mr. Roosevelt is not toe nervously nne. The white house is like unto a stone quarry. It is a place for drills and giant powder. Nothing is honestly done there save by heavy lumbering work —work for the crowbar not sot the lancet. All is as ruoeij coarse as any’ canebrake bear. It it no place for wool-foot weaklings or ar tists of the back stairs. Tour great president will be on< whose nature is not too sensitive!’ clrawn. Ho will possess qualities of the buffalo-bull kind. In the white house quantity is often greater than qualitv and momentum counts for more that being quick. lor myself, give me men of the Itooievrlt type. They always fight an< never skulk. They are firm in friend ship, fierce in war. To come withit eyeshot is to know -the worst and the best of them. And to know it once is t< know it al 1 ays. It is their boast tha they would sooner do good than de light, that they prefer a white purpo.=' to a white principle. It was while he was on the civil serv ice commission that I made the ac quaintance of Mr. Roosevelt. Common iy. I much dislike you;- officeholder since commonly he is overblown, pomp X oue, self-glorious and stands stiffly or the toes of what he conceives to be hi cflenlty—like a dog proud of its bras collar. Taking officeholders as they run. th< caste shows a strong per cent both o fool and hypocrite. Especially the iat tor. when one compares what they de with w hat they say. Wherefore, I "keej aloof from them, it being part am parcel of my religion to avoid a foo and hate a hypocrite. 3
