VOTERS CAN OUST
BOSSES, SAYS
SEN. OIXON
Have First Real Chance to Rule
With Roosevelt. Progressive
Chairman Says.
By SENATOR JOSEPH M. DIXON,
Chairman of th# National Progressive
Committee,
NTW YORK, Aug. 31 —No one 4-111
dispute that the people ought to rule
this country No sane man will admit
that they do rule It. Under the old
party governments there has been a
continual struggle on the part of the
people to put aside the bosses and take
the government In charge Sometimes
there has been a little yielding When
public demand for this or that measure
became Insistent a modified form of It
has been granted grudgingly.
But never before In the political his
tory of this country has a party led
by a man experienced in government
undertaken a program which, enacted
into law will put the people really in
charge of the business of the nation,
which is emphatically the business of
the people.
The reason for the overwhelming
victories of Colonel Roosevelt in Illi
nois, in Ohio, in Pennsylvania, in Cali
fornia and other states was not en
tirely personal Men voted for him
because they believed tn the principles
he enunciated. Honest political lead
ers gave him their support. Why?
Because they knew that the time has
come at last when the way Is open to
real popular government At last they
have a chance to really get at the
bosses.
Bosse* See the Danger.
Public sentiment has awakened the
latter to a sense of their danger. They
know that what the people want must
come, and they must get out of the
way and let it come
Twenty, ten, even five years ago, such
a movement as that we are in could
not have been successful. Buttressed
by selfish interests, they blocked the
way. They controlled the machinery.
Without it no popular movement could
be successful. .
Now defeat after defeat has loosened
their grip. Whan an oligarchy like that
of Pennsylvania can be broken down,
there is hope for the people In any
state in the Union.
Men read, think and know about
politics and issues. They know what
tnea-sures they want They know that
conditions are wrong Better still, they
know how they can be made right
A scientific program of government
" hich wilt give the people the real
power to rule has therefore been wel
comed with enthusiasm. From every
quarter we find that our cause is grow
ing.
No Hostility To Overcome.
When our speakers go out they find
audiences in sympathy with them.
There is no hostility to overcome. There
is little prejudice to sweep aside
The time for a change is ready. The
old parties have promised and prom
ised; they have never performed. Year
after year they have refused to let the
people have any real hand in conduct
ing the affairs of the nation. And that
ir merely taxation without representa
tion—a thing the people of this country
will never tolerate for long
Knowing, as all thinking men do.
that a change must come, they welcome
a plan to bring it about peacefully and
quietly. That Is why our party is
growing so tremendously. That l s why
we feel confident that it is going to
succeed

Pederal Prisoners Laud “Man-to-Man ” Policy
SQUARE DEAL IN PRISON
Sweeping reforms made by Warden
Moyer, suggested or approved by At
torney General Wickersham, and a
'man-to-man square deal policy” in
augurated by Deputy Warden Wilbur
C. Hawk, have worked remarkaßle
transformations among the prisoners at
the Federal penitentiary.
A tribute to the effectiveness of the
changes is voiced by Good Words, the
interesting little paper published by the
prisoners It says.
During the fiscal year several
changes have been made, in the
methods previously In vogue in this
penitentiary. These changes were
made either at the suggestion or
with the approval of Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham and have all tend
ed toward sending the discharged
prisoner out into the world with a
sincere desire for his own im
provement rather than with a de
sire for revenge upon society for
either real or fancied grievances.
The early part of the fiscal year
w itnessed the advent of a new dep
uty warden, who inaugurated a hu
mane "man-to-man” square deal
policy in handling refractory pris
oners. a civilian musical director
of recognized ability was appoint
ed about the same time, and with
in the year he has succeeded in or
ganizing and educating an orches
tra which is probably the equal of
any orchestra in any similar Insti
tution In the country
Allowed to Play Ball.
Then came the permission for the
prisoners to play baseball every
Saturday afternoon. Regulation
grounds were prepared; up-to-date
baseball equipment was purchased,
and late In the month of Septem
ber the first game was played, and
from that day the games have
proved of absorbing interest. Dur
ing the ball games the prisoners
are permitted to smoke, play musi
cal instruments, play games, cheer,
laugh, talk and mingle freely, pro
vided they refrain from profane or
SACRED HARPISTS
TO HUE SINGING
Three-Day Convention of Har
mony Opens Friday at the
Broughton Tabernacle.
Sweet singers of the Sacred Harp
will gather at the old Broughton Tab
ernacle next Friday for a three days
convention of harmony. Circulars are
out announcing the time and the place,
and an invitation Is extended to al!
Sacred Harp conventions, associations,
annual singers and oilier singing bod
ies to lend their voices to the good
old hymns
.1. S. James, president of the United
Sacred Harp Musical association, with
other officers, signs the Invitation to ail
who sing from the tld-fashioned
square-note singing book Among the
officers and executive council appear
the names of men from Carolina to
Texas
There will he some singing at the old
Tabernacle when the big chorus gets
together The Sacred Harp folks scorn
the organ and throw quartets and
trained choirs Into the discard. They
care naught for oratorios. What they
want Is harmony, chords, volume and
enthusiasm None of the new-fangled
hymn-tunes mars the pleasure of the
Sacred Harpists. Nothing but the
good old “Rock of Ages," “How Firm a
Foundation" and hymns upon which
the ages have stamped their approval
will be on the program. But if you
want to heat singing—not bel canto or
coloratura, but Just real singing—be
sure and go to the Tabernacle

vulgar language and rowdyism.
Early in March a league of eight
clubs was organized.
March, 1912, also witnessed the
initial number of Good Words, .a
paper printed and contributed to
by the prisoners.
Upon Thanksgiving day the war
den made the announcement that
the prisoners would be allowed to
converse freely during meals, there
by abolishing the "rule of silence.”
About that time the warden issued
an order granting such prisoners
as desired it the opportunity of
having a private interview with
him on stated days of the week.
The prison school began holding
sessions five afternoons each week
during the fall term.
During the fall. Saturday .became
a day set apart for bathing, shav
ing, exercising and recreation.
Stripes Arg Abolished.
An order was issued abolishing
the stripes, even as a punishment,
the present regulation uniform for
prisoners being of light blue cloth.
An oculist Is employed to visit
the prison one-half day each week,
giving the prisoners’ eyes the nec
essary attention and providing
them with glasses at the govern
ments expense.
A dentist is also employed for the
purpose of giving the teeth of the
prisoners the necessary attention,
extracting, filling and filate work
being done at the expense of the
government.
The prisoners are furnished with
plain paper upon which to write
their outgoing letters. A part of
the orchestra furnishes music at
the mid-day meal, and last, but not
least, the old style desklike tables
have been removed and ordinary
dining room tables substituted. The
dining room itself has been entire
ly renovated and repainted, the
wooden floor having been removed
and a concrete one substituted.

MAIL WINDOWS
CLOSE SUIM
No Distribution at General De
livery, in Accordance With
New Postal Law.
Atlanta men and women who are ac
customed to call at the postoffice for
their niail on Sundays will find the gen
eral delivery department closed up tight
tomorrow so the first time in years.
Labor day comes on Monday, and
there will be an early closing of the
postoffice on that day. Two deliveries
will be made in the business district and
one in the residence, and the "general
delivery" window will be closed at
noon Just how large the mail sacks
will be on Tuesday can only be esti
mated.
The action taken by Postmaster Hugh
McKee in regard to the Sunday distri
bution of mail is in accordance with the
recent change in the postal laws, and
unless further instructions are received
by him before Sunday, only those who
rent boxes, or whose letters bear a
"special delivery" stamp will be able to
get them.
Expect "Special Delivery” Increaee.
Postmaster McKee is not sure wheth
er the distribution of Tnail to the boxes
will be kept up after this Sunday, but Is
waiting for further advice in regard to
this. For the present he will have the
usual distribution of mail to all boxes.
On account of the fact that letters
address to a street and number can
only be received on Sunday when the
additional "special delivery" stamp is
attached, the postoffice officials believe
that there will be an increase in this
class of mail and are preparing to put
on a larger force than usual for Sun
day.
In the instructions about closing th*

it will be worked out has not been fur

Scale of Popular Prices to Ob

Each Month.
The Alkahest lyceum course enter

held in the new Baptist Tabernacle's
main auditorium. Arrangements to
this effect have been completed. It
was necessary to move from the Grand
opera house because this will be used
for vaudeville exclusively the coming
season, and hence will have no open
dates The auditorium of the Baptist
Tabernacle is especially fitted and con
venient for the lyceum patrons. It is
arranged so all seats can be reserved
for the season, and its seating capacity
is nearly twice as large as that of the
Grand, which will enable the manage
ment to put the prices for the lyceum
course back to the popular rate of JI.
11.50 and $2 for the entire seasons
course—ten numbers.
Th? season tickets have been printed
and will go on sale soon. With the ex
traordinary list of talent which the Al.
kahest is offering, it is expected that
the entire capacity of the Tabernacle
will be sold out in a week.
The series of entertainments will be
gin about October 1 and will close in
April, giving about two attractions a
month. It will be composed of four
great lectures by the leading orators
and thinkers of today, four great musi

Lawrence undertaker and school com
mitteeman who paid a fine of SSOO after
being found guilty of planting dynamite
in Lawrence during the textile strike
there, received S6OO or S6OO for his work,
it was stated today.
William M. Wood, president of the
American Woolen Company, has been ar
rested on an indictment in connection
with the "plant" and gave $5,000 cash
bail. Dennis Collins, of Cambridge,
is in jail unable to furnish similar bgtl,
having been named in the same indet

District Attorney Pelletier is planning
to push bis investigation of the "plant"
still further. When the grand jury meets
on Tuesday he will summon before it at
least two other witnesses. The district
attorney has information bearing on the
inception of the plot.
Break's story of the plot is a remark
able one. He says he got about SSOO or
S6OO. but the amount included services
he had rendered in other ways for the
person or persons who employed him. He
told the district attorney that one of the
defendants paid him. He claims he paid

CHAFIN SCORES T. R.
FOR NOT ATTACKING
LIQUOR INTERESTS
PLYMOUTH N. H. Aug. 31.—" Mr.
Roosevelt's solution of the high cost of
living simply is to induce the poo:
I farmer to work a little harder and
j longer so that he might produce a lit
hic more.” said Eugene W, Chafin, pro-
I hfbition candidate for president, in an
I address here. "He did not dare say a
word about brewers, distillers, saloon
keepers, bartenders and others engaged
in the manufacture of liquor who do
not produce anything contributory to
happiness. In-tead of prodding the
farmer to make him produce more, why
does Mr. Roosevelt fear to point to the
vast army which produces insanity,
poverty, crime and dependents?
“The fact is that theso old-party
candidates are simply feeding the
American public with buncombe on
this high, cost of living issue. The
middleman, inadequate soil culture and
tariff may have something to do with
it, but you could eliminate all of these
factors and the cost of living would re
main a burden. The man who doesn't
work at the production of something
useful should not e&t and *wear what
more useful membys of society have
produced. The people are entitled to
be treated as though they had intelli
gence. and Mr. Roosevelt is not treat
ing them that way."

JEALOUSY, HE SAYS
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 31. —When you find

When you have her, live for her; she

When she arouses your jealousy, beat

If she betrays you, kill her; she de

These are the maxims that govern
a man in his relations with his wife as
expounded by Dr. William F. Waugh,
of Chicago, in the current number of
The Alienist__and Neurologist.
'There is a constantly thickening
coat of the varnish of civilization
formed over the man and the woman,
but underneath It they are identical
with the cave man and woman, un
changed at heart,” writes Dr. Waugh.
"The simple maxims that ruled the
cave dweller govern humanity today.
Every woman sits and waits the com

when he beckons. He is masterful. He

assertion was made today by persons fa

certain high officials of the police de

selves being compelled to pay heavy toll
now to keep from District Attorney Whit

to them.
Men who for years have been paying
graft are now said to be collecting it
in big sums as the price of their silence.
Some of them are said to have demanded
regular incomes until the storm blows
over and the gossip of the underworld is
that they are getting it.
Counsel for Lieutenant Charles A.
Becker, the official indicted for Herman
Rosenthal's murder, will attempt to delay
Becker's trial as long as possible. If
they can get a postponement when Whit

set next week, it is planned to make
a request for a change of venue because
