T. R. HITS BOSSES
INFIGHTFOH
VERMONT
If You Want to Rule Yourselves
You’ll Have to Come With
Us. He Declares.
BENNINGTON. VT . Auk 29. Colo- j
nd Roose'elf started his three days!
rampatrr in Vermont todat with a
hrfst ing speech at the ball grounds,
her* tn w hi< n he attained the Denin- |
cratit an<l Republican parties for their |
boss rule
"If you want to govern yoi)rs< ve«
and not have the venal boss such as
the Penrose type do it. then you v. ill
hate to come with us." exclaimed the
colonel
As Colonel Rooseve't stepped to the
platform to face the 5,900 people In the
had park, some one cried, "Give it to
’em Teddy. '■
The colonel grinned.
"Pm flourishing under their attack,"
h» replied. "I’m not a« thin a.a I was
in Cuba, anyway.
Frazer Metzgc. the gubernatorial
candidate, forgot to introduce 'he colo
ns so Roosevelt exclaimed. "J,ook here,
I guess I’ll have to Introduce myself."
The crowd laughed and the colonel!
plunged into his speech.
No Ambition to Serve.
"1 happen to stand today symbolizing
p movement that is to make for im
provement of our national life," he said.
"We stand for the forces that make for
progress I'm using myself in this fight
merely to lead I've no personal am
bition to serve "
Roosevelt sjaike of getting letters
from Republican admirers who wet,
anxious to vote for him for president,
but felt a reluctance to 'eave the Re
publican party.
"Now. it is quite true that many of
us may feel a stretching of heart
strings to leave the old pa r t'." be went
on "Abraham Lincoln felt It when in
1656 he had to break away from the
Whig party to go into the newly formed
Republican party A demand existed
for a party that would more closely
represent the people then. Just as the |
demand exists today for a new part,' '
The ex-president Jumped Into the,
Penrose-Archbold Standard Oil contra,
versy.
"For some time 1 have been dwelling
upon the alliance of crooked politics i
and crooked business," said the colo'nel
"I have been saying that such a crook
ed alliance exists Now comes Mr. Pen
tose and Mr Archbold and they jump
tip and say it's all true."
Issue Won in Pennsylvania.
1 want to call your attention to the
significance of their action. They have
shown that the corrupt Pennsylvania

had it out with Mr. Penrose We whip

of carrying Pennsylvania fol Mr Taft,
and he knows It That's all over now.
I'm willing to stand on the unconscious
recommendation P< nrose and Archbold
ha ve gi' en me
"They say I could not tie influenced to
serve the Standard oil Stripped of
the verbiage, the lestitnonv of Penrose

of police corruption of the underworld
of our great cities.
They also allege that Mr Bliss. the
national campaign treasurer, tried to

'Mr Archbold doesn t complain, you

ing the Standard Oil Company as he
says promises of immunity No, he
complains that he didn't get the goods.
We went ahead with out prosecution
against th. Standard Oil anyhow Mr

Roosevelt deelaied that the Standard
Oil had not complained of th, out, out,

Education Board Has Plan for
High School University. Us
ing Old Stockade.
W M. Slaton, superintendent of At-I
lanta’v public schools, announced to
th'* board of education yesterday aft
ernoon that Dan c'upid had again made
sei ions inroads on his teaching corps
and then proceeded to lead a list of
resignation.-. Hut he did not explain
whether all of them was quitting
school work for matrimony.
Following the suggestion of W. R.
D'aley. president, the board declared 1
itself in favor of a ut.iversity plan for
the foti" city high schools. A resolu- i
tion was prepared to presented to
council Monday urging that the Boys
High school property, the Boy s Tech j
High s hool property, the Girls High
school property an 1 lite F.nglish Com
mercial High school property bo 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
need -d 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.
Soard 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 brine
in sufficient money to build the new
school s.
The board of education has re
established the Seegtniller 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
mote simple manner than formerly.
The report of the board's special
committee on drawing was that this
sy stem b - retained and that ’he 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
itor of the department, would not apply
lor re-election. The : eport of thecom-
I mittee was adopted.
B.v the adoption of a resolution the
| board declared that children whose
| homes are not in -Atlanta would not be
I admitted to the public schools A num
ber of applications from children who
I want to Hve 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 tlie employees of the Federal
prison to the public schools, although
line prison is outside the citv limits.

Up and Down
Peachtree
Shriek Sends Shivers
Up and Down Marietta.
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 E’orsyth
street and spoiled the gossip in the city
ha‘l. 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
i street.
I he shrieks came from a theater near
the Five Points and the more they came
the worse they got. The first cry of
anguish deepend into a long, elastic '
wail, like a steamboat blowing for a
wood yard. This was interrupted as
suddenly as- though the fine Italian
band of the villain had closed upon
Tessie's windpipe. Horror-stricken, the
‘ mob rushed wildly toward the scene.
Then the shriek sw itched into an ear
: splitting note such as a 60-hOrsepower
I clarinet might produce, reached its
crescendo, fluttered a bit and came
| dow n like a Jap acrobat doing the slide
for life. The amazed listeners bad
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.

Expert Declares Filthy Negro
Homes Are Greatest Menace
to Public Health Here.
Analyzing health conditions In At
lanta today Dr. Claude A. Sinitli. city
bi'.eteriologist. declared that one of the
greatest sources of contagious diseases
was the homes of negro se.iants. He
urged stricter building and sanitary
laws.
"We hare Igno, d the home condi
tions of the negro." said Dr. Smith,
"when they are closer to us than the
membets of our family. They do our
laundry, our cooking and nu se our
children. But we close out eyes to
their health and living con litions.
"Many of the negroes don't care how
they live .Many of their home- are
steeped tn disease-breeding filth. The
well and personally clean ones associate
with tubercular and other eotitagmus
disease infected negro, s. We seem
ingly don't cate if they live in holes in
the ground and we ignore their asso
ciates.
"One remedy is more strict building
and sanitary law.*," he continued. "The
present building code permits the erec
tion of almost any sort of a structure
|in some sections of the ci;.- . r.ut th„
greatest med is to arouse even on'
most intelligent people to their own
apathy regarding these conditions.
Fight Disease in Dark.
"Every- person thinks that hi- s- 'V
ants are all right. People laugh at any
suggestion for bettering these condi
tions as they did when campaigns were
first begun against flics ami mosquitoes
But until we give out negro population
more attention we are fighting disease
in the dark."
Dr. Smith said that the campaign for
better milk was showing better and
better resuits. He sa'ld that a number
of cases had recently been made again.-:
dairymen as a result of the bacteria
test and a great deal of milk that had
been shipped to the city had bw n con
demned for the same reason
The city ordinance provides that aU
milk sold in the city must be below 5.7
degrees in temperature to prevent
growth of bacteria He said the ordi
nance ought to be changed making it
50 degrees. And lie urged all con
sumers of milk to secure a thermome
ter and test the milk when 11 is deliv
ered to them.
Dr. Smith said that none of the milk
sold in Atlanta was very bad. but that
when the bacteria was not kept at a
■ minimum the milk was dangerous for
, young babies. When there is an excess
. of bacteria it has a general debilitating
effect on the babies and often pro
duces serious intestinal trouble.
