United States marshal, nor of District Attorne\ Tate while I was in Washington with the president." said Henry S. Jackson, collector of In ternal revenue and Republican nation al committeeman from Georgia, who returned from a conference with the president and his political advisers. For several days rumors have been current In the Federal building that Mr. Jackson s trip to Washington was for the purpose of removing the postmas ter, the district attorney and l’nited States, marshal. He also Is said to have been using his Influence to pre vent the nomination of Clark Grier as postmaster at Dublin. Ga. The same attaches of the Federal building who have put these reports be fore the public have been open In their declarations that Mr. Jackson was •eeking the office of postmaster for himself and that C. P. Goree, a promi nent lawyer and Republican leader, would be made district attorney. John Martin, assistant revenue agent, was named as the man to succeed to the office of collector of Internal revenue and custodian of the postofflce and cus toms house. "I am seeking an office In the United States consular service in Cuba,' said Martin today, "and have no intention of trying to be appointed collector of interna! revenue The postmaster, the district attorney and the United States marshal all are out of town and could not be reached for their statements.

Mr. Jackson has little to say regard ing the condition of affairs In the Re publican campaign headquarters ex cept to state that everything points to the success of President Taft at the November elections.

SAYS SENATOR DIXON By SENATOR J. M DIXON. Chairman of the National Progressive Committee. NEW YORK. Aug 22 I welcome this opportunity to tell the readers of The Georgian the truth about the Pro gressive party. This camj>aign Is un like any campaign in the history of the republic, for the reason that the Pro gressive party Is unlike any other po litical party that has taken part in h presidential campaign What we are seeking to do is not only to elect to office a man and a set of men, but to solve by the application of scientific principles the problems that are behind that unrest and dissatisfac tion with conditions which, if left alone, will culminate in socialism, or even anarchy. Our platform is more than a reaffir mation of the commandment “Thou Shalt Not Steal." It is an assertion of the doctrine that the people are fit to rule, and ought to rule this country. And it undertakes to remove from their path the obstacles raised by law writ ten by men who lived in a day when our present problems dM not exist, and could not even by Inspired eyes have been foreseen. Would Make Platform Law. We mean to write that platform into the statute books of this country, and to make It the law. We mean to make it possible for men to be humane, to consider their fellow men, and their fellow women without violating the constitution of the United States. We mean to enable honest business to pros per by making the other kind of busi ness not only dishonest, but Illegal. We mean to return to the government of the founders of the country—that is, a living, practical government of the liv ing by the living, not a government of the living by the dead. It is because our purpose Is so plainly expressed in our platform that we are meeting with a response that is almost universal. It Is because wo propose to raise la bor.

Recognize Female Equality. It is because we recognize that the women who bear the men of the na tion are fully as worthy as the sons they rear that we have wakened the in terest not only of the women, but of every broad-minded man who has thought at al! upon human equality. You can read our platform from one end to the other. You will And no empty phrases In it; no dodging of any issue; no attempt to catch votes from both sides of a line-up by steering an evasive middle course. In favoring the initiative and the ref erendum we would give the people the power to legislate directly if it becomes necessary for them to do so. Our advocacy of the recall is due to our conviction that men sometimes prove false to the people, and to our be lief that such men should be taken out of office and replaced by men with a higher sense of their obligations. The awful horror of child labor Is a thing on which there can be only one opinion. Yet with every opportunity to stop It neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have done so. We will stop it, and at once, if the people intrust our party with the direction of legisla tion. Reduced to its simplest terms, our platform is but paragraphed common sense. It Is scientific, but it Is not com. plex. It Is easily understood easily ap plied. And yet because It will divert il legal gains from the pockets of a few crooks who have intrenched themselves behind archaic statutes it Is denounced by their kind as socialistic. J want to say Just this: Sooner or later In this present century’ there must be progress, as there has been in every century since the first group of tnen established the first primitive govern ment. Either this progress will come stead- BANK DEFAULTER TRAPPED 81 ‘AD’ Kansas Cashier Caught in New York After Eluding Capture Two Years. NEW YORK. Aug. 22. —Trapped by an advertisement after he had eluded capture for two years, John A. Flack, former cashier of th'- Abilene State bank, of Abilene Kans., is a prisoner today in the Mulberry street police sta tion, pending the arrival of officers from Kansas, who will take him back to save the charge of stealing SBO,OOO. Flack declared he would not compel extradition Detective J. J. Allen, of the National Surety Company, and A. M. Birdsall, manager of the claim branch of that company, trapped Flack at Third avenue and Twelfth street by a carefully worded advertisement. Flack made no attempt to deny his identity. When he was taken to police headquar ters but three cents were found in his pockets. Flack said he had been wandering over the country for two years, work ing at whatever he could find, and changing his name frequently. He spent the money which he is charged with embezzling in real estate speculation He does not drink or smoke. ly with the planks of our platform, and bring it about, or it will come vio lently. Dammed up public opinion, like dammed up water, is dangerous. There comes a time when the dam will break. Later I hope to deal more particular ly with the planks of our platfor. and more intimately with the course of the campaign. Today I will content my self by prophesying that within a very few weeks leaders of the two old par ties will be astonished and dismayed by deflections from their ranks to ours. For I know that the voters of this nation are long suffering; but I know that they are tired and disgusted by promises that are never kept, and when on election day they find the recall in their hands they will use it to good purpose. MEN AND RELIGION BULLETIN NO. 14 “The Houses in our Midst” The Policeman and the Procurer "She was dressed in a red calico. ’’’MVWFjWJW "She had comely features and looked the picture of health. "She was willing to cook, clean up house, and wash and iron." A well-dressed woman with jewelled hands met her on the train coming to Atlanta. She told her new-found friend her object. It was to get work in the city. "The woman pictured to her the only way she could ever make money." Her reply was, "I would rather starve." And she came to Police Headquarters, Wednesday morning with her story, leading to the suspicion there, so The Journal states, that agents of the White Slave trade are at work in Atlanta. Probably she would have hesitated to come, had she known th© truth, that our police force night and day knowingly protect more than forty houses dependent for their stock in trade upon the betray al of women and girls. This working woman is only another illustration of the mir acle of the age. That is the purity inherent in girls and women of her class. Despite their inadequate wages, their lack of recreation and le gitimate amusement, and their hard, grinding toil, it requires all of the ingenuity of devils equipped with modern business methods to keep the houses supplied. Stanley W. Finch in not a fanatic. He is Special Commissioner of the Department of Justice of the United States Government for the suppression of the White Slave Traders. In an authorized statement, he says: "Their business methods have been so developed and perfected that they seem able to ensnare almost any woman or girl whom they select for the purpose. "The idea which prevails among many persons is that the vic tims are simply girls who are naturally vicious. 1 "This is very far from the real truth. "The great majority consists of young women and girls who have either beon led to such lives by deception and trickery, or who have been driven to them by force and fraud." Think this through! * -- And you will revolt at the idea of Atlanta’s police force giving protection to the sale of women. The Chief of Police knows the houses. He has the names of the owners. He has the necessary evidence. The ordinances are simple. If for two days after notice given by the chief of police, the own er fails to abate the nuisance, he is subject to both fine AND impris onment in the Recorder’s Court. No tedious delay for indictment by the grand jury. No chance for a mistrial by a jury. * / And no need for sensational raids on the women. All necessary is a simple little proceeding before our Recorder, who knows the law and does not fear to enforce it. And again we offer help and protection to the woman willing to leave their bondage. None would harm them. And properly the law gives to the landlord an opportunity to clear himself. His failure to accept it justifies both the fine and imprisonment imposed by the ordinances. Atlanta should and will close the Houses in Our Midst! THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Os the Men and Religion Forward Movement
