4 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 VENEZUELA BUYS OLD VESSEL TAKEN FROM SPAIN BY U. S. IN 1898 CHARLESTON. S.

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 LAD SLAYS PLAYMATE WITH GUN IN QUARREL OVER PIGEON THEFT CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—Police today are seeking Tony Bruno, aged fifteen, who shot and killed Solomon Golep, aged fourteen. In a quarrel at the playgrounds. More than 100 children at the grounds at the time saw the crime. Bruno accused Golep of having stolen his pigeons. Golep denied the charge and said he could whip any boy who called him a thief. A fight started and in the midst of it Bruno drew a re volver and shot Golep three times. Then he fled. GOV.

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. These changes are mentioned ’’LEST WE FORGET ” 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* general delivery" department on Sun days. the postmaster general said pro vision probably would be transients. What this will be and how it will be worked out has not been fur nished the local postoffice SAVED PENNIES TWO YEARS TO GET MARRIAGE LICENSE INDIANAPOLIS, Aug 31.—" Charles and I each saved one penny a week for two years during our engagement, with which to buy the marriage license." said Miss Muriel Poe, 25 years old. as she handed Louis Koerner, marriage license clerk in the court house, a handful of 208 copper cents t’hatles Hinehley. 25 years old. the Charles in question, blushed and shift ed from one foot to the other, and said, “Yes. we thought it would be fun for each one to put away one cent every week for two years, with which to get married. This is Miss Poe's birthday and it is to be the day." Yes' said the marriage clerk, but marriage licenses cost 92.50.'' Then the couple realized that they were 21 weeks, or 42 cents, short of enough to buy necessary credentials. A friend con tributed the necessary 42 -■ - gi,. ~~| TRAIN WRECKED: NONE HURT. LONDON.

The Alkahest lyceum course enter tainments the coming season will be 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 cal attractions, a humorist and a ma gician. Among the attractions for which dates already have been fixed are the following: Dr. Thomas E. Green, in his new lecture, "The Burdens of the. Nation#.” Dr. Green prepared this lecture during his sixteen-month tour around the world. ( Dr. Hillis Has New Lecture. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, the noted pastor of Plymouth church. Brooklyn. N.

John .1 Breek. the 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 ment. 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 Collins SIOO for aiding him to carry the dynamite from Boston to Lawrence.

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." wife needs Beating WHEN SHE AROUSES JEALOUSY, HE SAYS ST. LOUIS, Aug. 31. —When you find your mate, take her, she awaits it. When you have her, live for her; she wants that. •» When she arouses your jealousy, beat her; she needs it. If she betrays you, kill her; she de serves it. 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 ing of her lord. She is ready to follow when he beckons. He is masterful. He woes not He takes his own when ne finds it; he commands, knowing he will be obeyed, and that is the sign for which she waits. His ancestor simply caught his woman, knocked her down if slie re sisted and dragged her. none too gently to his lair. The nearer the modern ap proximates this type and method, the better it suits the woman." GRAFTERS NOW PAY BLACKMAIL TO KEEP TENDERLOIN SILENT NEW YORK. Aug 31.—The startling assertion was made today by persons fa miliar with underworld conditions that certain high officials of the police de partment and others who are alleged to have exacted protection tribute are them selves being compelled to pay heavy toll now to keep from District Attorney Whit man information that would, be disastrous 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 man asks to have a date for the trial set next week, it is planned to make a request for a change of venue because of the state of public feeling “Initials Only,’’ by Anna Katharine Green, author of •The : Leavenworth Case,’’ “The Fili gree Ball,” one of the most en thralling mystery stories ever written, will begin in The Geor gian next Tuesday.
