Trammell and Committee Will
Work Hard to Wipe Out Re
publican Victory.
DALTON. GA.. Sept. 17 Hon. Paul
B Tranrnu.il. of this city, the nevi'.'
elected chairman of the Seventh dis
trict Democratk executive committee,
statee that the committee will prose
cute an aggressive campaign for Wil
son and Marshall in the approaching
national election, having determini <1
not to allow the Republicans to dupli
' cate their feat of four years ago, when
they carried the district in the national
election. Speaking of the outlook, Mr
Trammell says:
"We are going to get down to work
in earnest and see that the Seventh
district Is in the right company this
year. The district is not Republican—
there is not a Republican county among
the thirteen which form the district -
notwithstanding the fact that the Re
publicans were victorious four years
ego.
"Then it was the indifference of the
Democrats which permitted the Repub.
Leans to carry the district; the Repub
licans voted while thousands of Demo
crats remained away from the polls.
"Our efforts will be mainly directed
toward getting the Democrats to vote
this year, and we are going to keep so
(busy that they will vote. We are go
ing out after them, there will be no
Indifference shown, and the result Is
going to verify my prediction that the
Democratic ticket will roll up a big ma
jority in the district in November.”
Four years ago the Republicans car
ried the district by a plurality approxi
mating 1.000 votes. Less than half the
a registration participated in the elec
tion. Mr. Trammell conducted the
campaign when Senator Hoke Smith
defeated Governor Brown for the gov
ernorship. anci this year he conducted
Tils own campaign for state railroad
commissioner, leading all candidates
for the commission.
He will prepare a personal appeal to
the voters of the district to give the
Democratic nominees their active sup
port in the approaching election.

The opening bill was a notable one
Several high lights could be selected
from the bill, which struck a high av

tastes—the cunning little animals of
the Klutings, well trained and beauti

Max Ford, the quick change work of
('aesar Rivoli, the funny sketch pre

when absurd antics and hilarity reign
supreme, the winsome little come

a lot of foolishness touched with the
humor of life. Dooley and Miss Sales
are local favorites, and their first ap

applause. He is a born comedian, with
an inimitable air all his own, and “my
little partner is all to the good, sweet
and pretty and as jolly as can be.
Miss Heather was well received, and
both she and Mr. Dooley felt called

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17. 1912.
8«w of the present cast are not entirely
equal to their very trying roles, it makes
an interesting and absorbing plot.
T he first two acta, devoted to the devel
opment of the plot and story drag con
siderably, but the last two —and particu
larly the third redeem any discomfort
previously experienced.
Briefly, Thomas Bartlett is accused of
the murder of his friend, found dead in
the st firm from a shot from Bartlett’s
gun The real murderer, a communicant
>f the church over which Father Bartlett,
brother of Tom, is the priest, confesses I
to the murder to the priest-brother and
seeks absolution. The priest then learns
his brother is acc used of the murder, but
by lis oath his lips are seated And be
cause of his regard for his oath as priest
h< would have seen his brother executed.
A public confession by the guilty man
saves him from this, but it comes only at
the last moment, and by’ this time the
horror of the priest’s position is realized
by the audience and a real sigh of re
lief goes up when the truth at last tri
umnhs.
The real triumph of “The Confession"
is a court room scene which is realistic
interesting and not ridiculous. The
author in this scene has weeded out every
unnecessary word and bit of action, and.
thanks to William Ingram as the judge,
Martin .Malloy as prosecutor and Charles j
Canfield as the defendant’s attorney,
three splendid actors, the act is made a
really great bit of work.
The company as a whole is very good,
and the play is worth seeing for its story
alone, which is a daring one, but well
worked out by the author.

“NAUGHTY MARIETTA" IS
NEXT SHOW AT ATLANTA
Oscar Kammerstein’s comic opera,
“Naughty Marietta.” with Florence Web
ber. his new and successful young Ameri
can prima donna, and a company of 60
vocalists assembled from Mr. Kammer
stein's grand opera enterprises, will play
the Atlanta Friday and Saturday. The
reports from cities wherein Miss Webber
has appeared and the general opinion of
the critics proclaim Miss Webber an
artiste, fully capable of displaying the
many vocal beauties of Victor Herbert’s
music and of portraying the different
emotions in the difficult role of Marietta
as written by Rida Johnson Young, the
authoress. \ special orchestra has
supplied as well as a splendid production.
Seats are on sale beginning today.
“SEVEN DAYS" AT LYRIC
PLEASES BiG AUDIENCE
“Seven Days” and nights, principally
nights drew a good audience to the Lyric
Monday evening, and the patrons of this
play house were well pleased with the
show.
The company’, taken all the way
through, is one of the best seen in At
lanta in some time at popular prices; in
fact, it is just about as good as the one
playing at the higher-priced theaters last
season.
There was action from the wine supper
to the bird seed breakfast, and there was
humor in every line. If there is a play
on the road today where there are more
ridiculous situations or room for more real
mirth it has not visited Atlanta.
"Seven Days" will be the attraction at
the Lyric all this week, with matinees
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
FORSYTH BILL THIS WEEK
EQUALS REGULAR STANDARD
Splendid crowds visited the Forsyth
three times yesterday, and were rewarded
with a bill the equal of any produced at
the busy theater since the change of
policy.
The Heidelberg Four and Minnie Vic
torso and company, the one in quartet
work and the other in a sketchlet, vied
for headline honors, and to Judge from
applause the race was a dead heat. The
Victorso company present an act of com
pelling dramatic interest, which rivets
the attention from curtain to curtain.
The bill also presents the Musical
Vynos and a splendid act of acrobatics,
presented by’ Aldro and Mitchell.
It's a good bill —but go and judge for
yourself. 1

belle Anderson Arnold, 29 years old,
whose wide circle of acquaintan< es re

year-old husband, to Bliss,'Okla., last

then filed suit for divorce.

medical college. x

from Kansas City to St. Louis to study
medicine,” Mrs. Arnold related. "We

Arnold are not congenial and divorce
is the only course left to her.

“The Houses -In Our Midst”
Aiderman Candler Hits the Nail on
the Head and Drives It Nearly Home m
the Coffin of the Social Evil m Atlanta
Alderman John S. Candler is a member of the Vice Commission
of Atlanta.
1
In addition to being one of a clear headed family, he has had
years of experience as a judge.
He knows law. *
‘‘There are state laws against the evil and also city laws against
it,” he says.
“Therefore, we members of the commission as citizens and as
officials sworn to enforce the law can not recommend anything ex
cept that these laws be enforced.”
The Mayor, the General Council, of which Judge Candler is a
member, the Police Board, the Chief of Police and Policemen should
consider that sentence.
The sacred oath of office compels the recommendation.
Even more so does it demand that the recommendation be put into
force and effect.
Otherwise, the oath and the recommendation would be hypocrit
ical absurdities.
The Judge is also familiar with criminals and the effect upon
them of the certainty of punishment.
He says, If the owners of the houses were prosecuted it would
come mighty near breaking them up.”
None doubts that it would break them up.
The white fingered and musky gentry who now live in Atlanta on
the shame of women by the unlawful permission of her officials
would never knowingly run the risk of having to hurt their delicate
hands with a pick and shovel in the chain gang, where they belong.
The simple steps necessary to end the city’s shame are well
known to the Judge.
Without question, when on the bench, he was often hampered
by the cumbersome machinery of indictments by the grand jury and
trials by jury, where one corrupt rascal could prevent justice being
City ordinances remove these difficulties.
The Chief of Police knows the houses and the owners.
He has the necessary evidence.
He need only give the notice to the owner. »
Upon the owner failing to abate the nuisance within two days,
he must come before the Recorder for trial.
The punishment provided by law is both fine and imprisonment.
Again we ofiei help and shelter to the women willing to leave
their bondage. °

But let justice be done to the criminals who live bv buying and
selling them. J J 6
