The question | s asked why if President Taft is a progressive, he opposes the Initiative and referendum It 7 and the recall* It I,.cause Presi dent Taft is ; genuine progres sive that he op pose,c these things and maintains that so far as hu nt a n experience has disclosed, tht Republican f<> > tn of government is the most eff. < tlv a n d satisfactory the one which will come nearest to securing for alt mt-n the tights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness A Republican government, as distin guished from a pure Democracy. Is the government of thought and delibera tion. That radicalism which, in both the Democratic party and the Third Term party. Is masquerading as pro gressive is opposed to thought and de liberation, is antagonistic lo efficiency. In our modern civilization no man thinks of being his own carpenter, his own doctor, his own stone mason, his own lawyer. Why not? Because he hits found by experience that he gets better service when he employs men who are expert in those lines to serve him than lie would if he tried to do all those things himself. He knows that they have both time and opportu nity to study and to think, and thus perfect themselves in the peculiar line of service of which he Is in need. He prefers a specialist to a novice Experts in Legislation, Too. So. too. In tile case of government. We select men for our legislatures not because we believe they have more abil ity than ourselves but because we ex pect them to give thought and study to the subjects with which they are to deal, and we pay them for the time they devote to such thought ami study. Were we to devote the same time and study to the same subjects perhaps we could do equally well, often we could do better, but In our complex civilization men do not have time to think and con sider and deliberate on all the subjects which concern their welfare They must economize time by employing one set of men to render one set of serv Ices, and another set of men to render another. Why Is President Taft to the initiative, the referendum and Hie recall? The recall. a.s applied to the judiciary, Is so large a subject that I prefer to discuss it by myself But what I have said applies especially to the first two named. The real pro gressive opposes the initiative and the referendum because he does not believe the; win make for progress, because he Is convlncd they impose on the voter responsibilities which he is not pre pared to discharge-not because he lacks the ability, but because he has not the time. We have universal male suffrage In this country, and all men should be prepared to vote on the questions which are submitted to them with intelli gence and with knowledge, and after due deliberation. This is essential to the welfare of the nation But if all laws are to be submitted to the votei under the referendum sys tem. It Will be Impossible for him to give to them, before he votes upon them, that deliberation and thought which are essential to intelligent de cision. What 1 have said about the recall ap- IHE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AM) NEWS. SATURDAY. AUGUST 17, tyi.. t,in only slightly less degree to the initiative. Even now. v. ithout the Ini tiative, the demand for new laws is in A large part created by the newipa pers. Your newspaper suggests to you a law. and on its face it seems plausi ble and desirable. But have you time land opportunity to investigate the sub ject? I have seen President Taft de vote days—yes. and nights—reading, thinking, examin 1 .,g the effect of simi lar statutes, to the consideration of a single, comparatively simple law. Have you the time to do that? t’ertainly I have not. and 1 know of thousands who have not Nor are the newspapers al ways a safe guide. If you wilt watch'the deliberations of any legislative body you will observe men of absolute honesty, long experi ence and wide knowledge of their pro fession making serious blunders, enact ing laws which serve a desired purpose only to find that the statute they have devised has failed utterly of its pur pose Or, again, you will find these same men opposing laws which time proves would have been most benefi cial, and opposing them not because of any improper motive, but because they can not perceive the benefits of the proposed measure. The fact that men choose certain of their members to make their laws is no more a reflection of their own intelli gence and good sense and ability than Is the fact that men choose other men to conduct their lawsuits, heal their Ills, build their houses or construct their railroads. As you charge your son to learn to do one thing well before he attempts to do many things, so the voters must charge themselves with the task of do ing the one thing, the selection of com petent representatives, well before they undertake a great variety of tasks, most of them far more difficult than the se lection of a single honest and able rep resentative These are the reasons that President Taft Is opposed to the initiative and the referendum. He opposes them be cause they do not constitute progress, but instead are specious makeshifts. Q SHOP TALK |B Wfl » ft® 'Wi 1 THOMAS H.

BIG WELCOME FOR ROOSEVELT IN; MUND Bull Moose Chief Greeted With Wild Din- Forced to Speak in Streets. BOSTON, Aug. 17.—Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt the Bull Moose candi date for president, came from Provi dence to Boston today after opening his campaign there denouncing the Nev. England opposition to the third party movement. Colonel Roosevelt arrived in Boston at 10 a m. and was given a great ova tion. He will speak at the Point of Pines this afternoon and from a band stand on the common tonight. He leaves on the midnight train for New .York. Colonel Roosevelt and his partv will have luncheon at the home of Dr. Wil liam Sturgis Bigelow, 56 Beacon street. Conversation with the local Progressive leaders will follow, and Colonel Roose velt will then be driven to the Point of Pines. A band concert and the singing of campaign songs, and an address by the Rev. Allan Hudson, of Brooklyn, will keep the crowd busy until Colonel Roosevelt arrives The Progressives expect to have 25,- 000 at the afternoon session. when ad mission will be free to all. After his first speech the colonel will go to Oak Island Park, and be present for a few moments at a church picnic. The next appearance of Colonel Roosevelt will be at a banquet tender ed him by the Progressives at 6 p. tn. Matthew Hale, the Progressive state chairman, will be toastmaster and will introduce Mr. Roosevelt. Greeted With Dm in Rhode Island. Colonel Roosevelt was welcomed with a din in Providence, R. 1., yester day. He expressed his welcome as one that would have done credit to Kansas. The station was thronged with eager bull moose fans, and the streets to his I hotel were blocked. He had to make | several short speeches en route before ! the frenzied crowd would allow him ■ to proceed. Outside the armory, where he made i his principal speech at night, he was forced to talk to several hundred ad- I mlrers who were unable to gain en hance to the crowded hall. In his speech at night opening his I campaign Colonel Roosevelt declared i that the ordinary voter htrd nothing to 1 hope for through success of either the I Democratic or Republican patties, which, he asserted, are equally boss- • ridden. He said in part: ■ 'The Progressive movement is aimed lat the rotten machine, the rotten boss systems of both parties. Only by sup porting the Progressive party can you I strike any effective blow against boss 'rule and machine ring polities. The success of the Democratic na tional ticket means enthroning in power one set of bosses; the success of the Republican national ticket means en throning in power the other set of ■ bosses. Opposed by Crooks. "There is good reason why many men should bitterly oppose the Progressive party Every political jobber, every crooked business man. every beneficiary of privilege and every paid employee of such beneficiary -all these are na turally against us. But 1 hold that every selt-respeeting. ordinary citizen should be for us. The men for whom we are making the tight are not politi cians and ate not of great wealth. The Progressive platform has really faced the real issues of today. It has done this as regards the trusts, as re gards the rights of labor, as regards the tariff. I do not see how the people of New England can support either the Republican or the Democratic tariff platform Remember that when I use the word Republican now I do not re fer to the tank and file of the Republi can party, but to the bosses who have usurped the control of the machinery of the party The Republican proposal is a tariff for privilege in industry. The Democratic proposal is a tariff for the destruction of Industry. The Progres sive proposal is a tariff in the inter est of labor and industry.” FOUR PELLAGRA DEATHS. ROME. GA Aug 17.

He was captured by Turnkey Bran nan, who placed him in a cell. The ne gro was in the main corridor with a number of other prisoners, while the cells were being cleaned. He reached the matron’s ward by running up the inside stairway. Brown was trapped this morning by Detectives George Bullard and Doyal at the plant of the Willingham-Tift Lum ber Company. He appeared at the lum ber company offices yesterday afternoon with a check and aroused the suspi cions of the officials.

Pinkerton and city detectives have been on the trail of the black penman for several weeks They regard him as one of the shrewdest and cleverest forgers who has operated here.
