2 T.R. HITS BOSSES IN FIGHT FOB VERMONT If You Want to Rule Yourselves You’ll Have to Come With Us, He Declares. BENNINGTON. VT„ Aug. 29.—Colo nel Roosevelt rtarted his three days campaign in Vermont, today with a bristling speech at the ball grounds | here, in which he attacked the Demo cratic ano Republican parties for thr-ir boss rule "If you want to govern yourselves and not ha v <*the venal boss —such as the Penrose type—do it, then you will have to come with us," exclaimed the colonel As Colonel Roosevelt stepped to the platform to face the 5.0Q0 people in the ball park, /tome one cried, "Give it to ’em.

Th rowd laughed and the colonel plunged into his speech. No Ambition to Serve. "I happ n to stand today symbolizing a movement that is to make for im provement of our national life,” he said. •'We stand f-.r the forces that make for progress. I'm using myself in this fight merely to lead I've no peisonal am bition to serve." Roosevelt spoke of getting letters from Republican admirers who were anxious to vote for him for president, but felt a reluctance tn leave the Re publican party. "Now. it Is quite true that many of us may feel a stretching of heart strings to leave the old part v," he went on. "Abraham Lincoln felt it when In 1856 he had to break away from the "Whig party to go into the new ly for rued Republican party. A demand existed I for a party that would more closely 1 represent the people then, Just as th< I demand exists today for a new party." I The ex-president Jumped into the I Penrose-Archbold-Standard Oil contro. ! versy. "For some time I have been dwelling upon the alliance of crooked polities and crookad business.” said the colonel. "1 have been saying that such a < look ed alliance exists Now comes Mr. Pen. trosc and Mr Archbold, and they Jump up ami say it's all true." , • Issue Won in Pennsylvania. “I want to call your attention to the significance of their action.

That's all over now. I'm willing to stand on the unconscious recommendation Penrose and Archbold have given me “They say I could not be influenced to serve the Standard Oil. Stripped of the verbiage. the testimony of Penrose and Archbold Is not unlike some eases of police corruption of the underworld of our great cities. "They also allege that Mr Bliss, the national campaign treasurer, trie! to blackmail them in my interest. Mr. Bliss is dead. Thee never made the ac cusation in his lifetime. I have pro duced letters to show that if any money was received from the Standard Oil Company it was in spite of my ex press prohibition against it Mind you. I don't say that none was received. 1 can't testify about that but I did ex pre-siy forbid that it be taken. Archbold Didn’t Get Immunity. "Mr Archbold doesn't complain, you see that he was blackmailed into giv ing the Standard Oil Company, as he sg l . s. promises of immunity No. he complains that he didn't get the goods. We went ahead with our prosecution against Ute Standard Oil anyhow. Mr Archbold writes his own condemnation.'' Roosevelt declared that the Standard Oil had not complained of the outcome of the government's action under Pres ident Taft "No." he cried. "Mr Archbold said he thought of darkest Abyssinia whew he thought of the attitude of nil ad ministration toward htn not that of Mr. Taft. He was frightened by the prospect of my having another admin- ' istration ” "You will, you will." chorused the crowd.

THURSDAY. AUGUST 29. 1912. I Prominent Manufacturer Able: to Run a Convention or a Shoe Machine. Whether It s the running of compli cated shoe machinery that has made J. K. Orr, president of the company that bears his name, an expert runner of conventions, or vice versa, hasn't been settled, but both come as easily to the president of the Southern Mer chants association. Mr. Orr, who is prominent in frater nal as well as business circles, is an other striking example of big Atlanta business men who know their trade from the ground—or rather the sole— up. If hard put to It, he could himself turn out a.boot that would suit a Jim Jeffries—or one that would tickle a princess. The glimpse of him shown in the ac companying picture isn't at all an un usual view, for no shoemaker who ever obeyed the ancient injunction to stick to his last ever got better acquainted with his machine than the man who owns enough of them to shod most of Atlanta.

T Daniel in his charge to the August grand jury of Monroe superior court "What is the difference? The laws of the United States are enforced, and the state laws are not enforced. The greatest deter rent to crime is a brave, fearless, vigt hint grand jury." Judge Daniel appealed to them to wage a relentless war against vice and mime of every kind.

Owing to Milliners' Fads. PARIS, Aug. 29 In France during the last seventeen years the importa tion of hair has gone up by leaps and bounds. In 1894 some 150,000 pounds weight of hair was imported. In 1899 the imports had more than doubled and the crescendo continued until last year France was importing over a million pounds weight of hair, mainly from China and Japan. It is true that not all of this is for home consumption; a fourth is re exported Still, the figures are formid abh What Sots it mean? Is the Frenchwoman losing her crown of glory? Nothing so serious as that. The milliners, with tiie immense ,hats they die tate. are responsible. One might almost suspect them of collusion with the halt importers, for their pyramidal confections require to be propped and bolstered with -urls innumerable if they are to keep their equilibrium. This maze tor borrowed plumage has given rise to a new trade. There are men who. working chiefly in the great shops, make a comfortable living by picking up ami reselling the curls shed by eager bargain hunters.

W. M. Slaton, superintendent of At lanta’s- public schools, announced to the board of education yesterday aft ernoon that Dan Cupid had again made serious inroads on his teaching corps and then proceeded to read a list of resignations. But he did no/ explain whether all of them was quitting school work for matrimony. Following the suggestion of W. R. Daley, president, the board declared itself in favor of a university plan* for the four city high schools. A resolu tion was prepared to be presented to council Monday urging that the Boys High school property, the Boys Tech High school 'property, the Girls High school property and the English Com mercial High school property be sold and that the city stockade building and sufficient land around it be donated to the School department for the loca tion of a city high school university. Four new high school buildings are needed badly. The city has prepared to build an English commercial girls high school on Washington street. The city also has purchased a lot at the corner of Fort and Gilmer streets for a new stockade. Board Seeks Prompt Action. The plan of the board of education will not interfere ’with any of the other plans. Several of the leading members of council have already declared in fa vor of it. The board is simply crying for prompt action. They declare that the sale of the old properties will bring in sufficient money to build the new schools. The board of education has re established the Seegmiller system of drawing and manual training as a part of the Curriculum of the public schools. But the system is to be conducted in a more simple manner than formerly. The report of the board's special committee on drawing was that this system be retained and that the selec tion of the head of the drawing depart ment be referred to a special commit tee. Members of the board said that Miss Elizabeth Getz, the former direc tor of the department, would not apply for re-election. The report of the com mittee was adopted. By the adoption of a resolution the board declared that Children w’hose homes are not in Atlanta would not be admitted to the public schools. A num ber of applications from children who want to live with relatives or friends in Atlanta and attend the public schools were turned down. But the board adopted a resolution admitting the chil dren of the employees of the Federal prison to the public schools, although the prison is outside the city limits. The following new teachers were named by the board: Bor the Girls Night School—Mrs. Os car Gamble and Miss Eva Motes. Grpde Teachers for the Grammar Schools—Misses Ena C. Proctor, H. C.

The early morning quiet of Marietta street was broken today by a sudden shriek which pierced the- atmosphere from Five Points to the trolley build ing. broke up a cow auction in Forsyth street and spoiled the gossip in the city hail. It was followed by another, and then another, as though a woman were suffering all the torments of a June bug down the back of her neck. Every body dropped work and ran to the street. The shrieks came from a theater near the Five Points and the more they came the worse they got. The first cry of deepend into a long, elastic wail, like a steamboat blowing for a wood yard. This was interrupted as suddenly as though the fine Italian hand of the villain had closed upon Tessie's windpipe. Horror-stricken, the mob rushed wildly toward the scene. Then the shriek switched into an ear splitting note such as a 60-horsepower clarinet might produce, reached its crescendo, fluttered a bit and came down like a Jap acrobat doing the slide for life. The amazed listeners had reached the door by this time. Some hesitated, but a few hardy spirits went boldly in. The man was putting a new rinky dink on the rag-time orchestrion in the lobby. And "Everybody's Doin' It" was the only victim.

Analyzing health conditions in At lanta today Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacteriologist, declared that one of the greatest sources of contagious diseases was the homes of negro servants. He urged stricter building and sanitary laws. "We hate ignored the home condi tions of the negro." said Dr. Smith, "when they are closer to us than the members of our family. They do our , laundry, our cooking and nuise our children. But we close our eyes to their health and living conditions. "Many of the negroes don't care how they live. Many of their homes are , steeped in disease-breeding filth. The well and personally clean ones associate with tubercular and other contagious disease infected negroes. We seem , ingly don’t care if they live in holes in . the ground and we ignore their asso ciates. “One remedy is more strict building and sanitary laws,” he continued. "The present building code permits the erec tion of almost any sort of a structure f in some sections of the city. But the greatest need is to arouse even our most intelligent people to their own ; apathy regarding these conditions. Fight Disease in Dark. ’ “Every person thinks that his serv ' ants are all right. People laugh at any suggestion for bettering these condi , tions as they did when campaigns were ‘ first begun against flies and mosquitoes But until we give our negro population t more attention we are fighting disease j in the dark." Dr. Smith said that the campaign for better milk was showing better and better results. He said that a number of cases had recently been made against ] dairymen as a result of the bacteria .test and a great deal of milk that had j been shipped to the city had been con demned for the same reason. j The city ordinance provides that all milk sold in the city must be below 55 degrees in temperature to prevent growth of bacteria. He said the ordi nance ought to be changed making it 50 degrees. And he urged all con sumers of milk to secure a thermome- Iter and test the milk when it is deliv ered to them. Dr. Smith said that none of the milk 1 sold in Atlanta was very bad, but that i when the bacteria was not kept at a 3 minimum the milk was dangerous for 5 young babies. When there is an excess 3 of bacteria it has a general debilitating effect on the babies and often pro ' duces serious intestinal trouble. ANDERSON TO TAKE STUMP. ' SAVANNAH, GA., Aug. 29. J.
