WOODWARD AND CHAMBERS LEAD MMRAGE Mrs. George Brown, Wife oft Candidate, One of Most Ac tive Campaign Workers. Although the city primary is but ten g a vs away. October 2, the race for the mayoralty nomination Is as quiet as a contest for office in a secret order. All four of the candidates are very busy, but they are "gumshoeing" around the city in their searches for votes, rather than employing the time-honored meth od of appealing to “the people - ’ with inspiring oratory. It Is pretty clear today, however, that the real contest is between James G Woodward, former mayor, and Council man Aldine Chambers. The hope of the friends of both the other two can didates, Steve R. Johnston and Dr. George Brown, is that no candidate will get a majority of the 'votes In the first primary, and that their man will be one of the two highest to run in a second primary. There is lots of real human interest In the campaign methods of "Uncle Jiru*’ Woodward, as he is known politi cally. and Dr. George Brown. "Uncle Jim" said today that he al reeAy had personally seen a majority of the registered voters of Atlanta and that he would see them all before the date of the primary. He said he did not think he would hold a single public ■moating. He said he had the race tvon. end he did not want any unnecessary noise. Mrs. Brown Aiding Hueband. Probably the most active individual In the campaign 1a Mrs. George Brown. She tea pretty woman and a vivacious talker, and Is making a canvas for her hue'bartd. t'Mnncflma.n Chambers Is running on a platform of municipal improvements. He announced that these can best be obtained through co-operation between the varfoua city departments and the cetmcil and the county commission. The principal plank in the platforms of both Mr. Johnston and "Uncle Jim" Is that a "ring" Is in control of city atfklrs. Dr. George Brown’s platform deala particularly with the health and sanita-, tlon of the city. But the real issue in the campaign Is the personal equation. There are a number of rather splr-, Itnri contests for council. Tn the Sev enth ward A. R. Colcord is running against Councilman J H. Andrews. In the Third ward Councilman Carl Guess Is opposed by Sam S. Shepard. Joseph Nutting is running against Councilman W. G. Humphrey tn the Eighth Ward. Tn the Tenth ward J. T. Kimbrough, D. ■1 Lee and A, W. Calloway are candi dates for the councilmanto seat now held by D. J Baker Hot Race for Electrician.- For the eity ministerial offices there We only two contests. The race for ctty electrician between R C. Turner, the incumbent, and Fred Mlles, former ctty electrician, has heated up to a point of bitterness Thomas Evans, city warden, is op posed by S. 8. txtSalle. The date of the city primary Is also the date of the state genera! election. Besides the formal election of John M. Slaton to the governorship and the other state primary nominees, five con stitutional amendments will be voted on. The amendments, requiring a ma jority vote of the people to make them laws, aret To aboneh justice courts In all cities of more than 20,000 population, with the exception of Savannah, and estab- Hah city courts in lieu thereof. To create Bleckley county. To increase the borrowing power of the governor that he may better be able to meet financial emergencies. To require taxes to be paid on or be fore September 1. To permit the establishment of a thorough system of common schools throughout the state. HE WIPED HIS SHOES ON HER HAIR. WOMAN SAYS o ■' I LOUTS.

PERKINS. I RECENTLY saw a statement to the effect that there were about 14,- 000,000,000 telephone calls made in the United States during the past twelve months. If that means anything, it cer tainly means con centration con . centration of most practical, virile, far-reach ing sort. It means that 14. 000.000,000 mind; were, for all prac tlc a 1 purposes-, emancipated from the bodies tha; they inhabited, given wings and allowed to fly through the air to some local or far distant point to I' ' hold intercourse with 1 4.000.000,000 oth er minds, return to their bodies and then perhaps the next minute go oft' in some other direction and do business or have social intercourse with still other minds. Telephone Responsible For Problems. If we could see, with the naked eye, the minds that are nowadays Hying through the air in every conceivable direction, we would perhaps be better able to realize the perfectly stupendous progressive strides made within a mere handful of years in the matter of in tercommunication between human be ings. The telephone, with all that it im plies in the way of improved inter communication. is far more responsible for many of the problems of the pres ent day which require solution than any trust magnate. Some of our Democratic friends are saying that the trusts would not be in existence were it not for the tariff. We have had a tariff in this country for more than a century, and yet who ever heard of any trusts prior to a few years ago? No; the most important factor in bringing the “trust” into ex istence has been the stupendous devel opment in means of intercommunica tion. The first requisite for doing business is to be able to get at a customer. The more customers you can readily, in stantly get at the more business you can do. Has brought New Relations. The Twentieth Century Limited, the telegraph and the telephone have anni hilated space, have wiped out state lines, commercially speaking; 'have brought us all together within one in closure, so to speak, and our problem is to learn how to get along with each other in this newer, more intimate re lationship. We can not destroy this tendency to concentration unless we destroy the in struments that have brought it about If we are willing to get rid of steam and electricity and go back to the ox team method of inter-communication, we can solve our present-day problems very promptly; but if we are not willing to do this, then we must face our prob lems like 'twentieth century men, and the greatest of these problems is io THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND yEWB. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 23, 1912. learn how to minimize man’s power for evil and maximize his power for good. We have expert boards of health and quarantine commissions in our differ ent states and take health precautions which never were taken 100 years ago. Surti boards and commissions were not necessary 100 years ago because of our comparatively small and scattered pop ulation in those days. today, with our large and. in many ; cities, congested population, it is im perative that such precautions be taken in order to protect the entire commun ity. Regulation Everywhere. If a man has smallpox in an Isolated place in the Rocky mountains, scarcely any one is affected except the man himself, but if he get- smallpox wiiih in a city of three or.fou: million people there is at once danger of contagion spreading to hundreds and thousands of people. Everywhere we go nowadays we feel the necessity for regulation and control. A man can be one kind of a “free agent” in the Sahara desert, but he has got to be quite a different kind of a "free agent” in the city of London This new order of things calls for a constructive program based on an intelligent com prehension of the newer conditions un der which we live and the future which we are facing. Tile Republican and Democratic par ties are both harping on the past ami sneering at anything that resembles a constructive program dealing with the new order of things in which we tirfd ourselves living. The Progressive party, on the other hand, is boldly facing the present and is looking to the future. It offers a constructive program that will help solve our present problems and yet per mit us to retain the telephone, the fast train and the ocean greyhound, and thus continue to lead the nations of the world. Reply to Wilson on Tammany. P- 8-—Those that have seen Profes sor Wilson’s comment may be interest ed in this reply, which I have sent to various newspapers: “September 14. 1912. "Dear Sir—ln your issue of this morning you quote Governor Wilson as saying. ‘Mr. Perkins is one of those gentlemen who do not know the differ ence between the Tammany Society and Tammany Hall. They are abso lutely distinct organizations.’ "Governor Wilson is right. I do not know the difference, because there Is no material difference I know that Mr Gustavus Myers, in his book entitled The History of Tammany Hall.’ says: ‘My research has shown me the ab surdity .of the pretense that any vital distinction exists between the Tam many Society and the Tammany Hall political organization.’ "I know that Mr. Charles F Murphy is the head of Tammany Halt I know that Mr. Charles F. Murphy is one of the principal officers of the Tammany Society. 1 know that the leaders of lammany Hail and Tammany Society are largely the same. I know that when Governor Wilson sent hl- congratula tory letter to the Tammany Society on the Fourth of July, 1912 (to which let ie; I referred yesterday) he sent it to and it was received by practically the •j. Italian Street Vender Has Pet Names for All His Little Feathered Pals. Drive your motor to the Peachtree curb before the governor's mansion some day Just before noon. Observe the pigeons, strutting and.cooing in the mansion's eaves and circling around the tall Masonic temple. Then watch the peanut vender on the corner. Pasquale Lambo takes from a sack ■ at tin' bottom of his wagon a quart or two of peanuts and popcorn not fresh enough for the Httle girl trade. Ht raises his hand and calls something in liquid Italian. Then there Is? a finite: of wings from four corners of the street and a cloud of purple feathers and whit<4 as the birds hurry to their din ner. It is Pasquale's one happiest mo ment of the day. For many months the peanut and popcorn man has been feeding the pig eons. Thel were wary at first, but soon the bolder spirits among them ventured within reach of their bene factor and nothing dreadful happened. Now they fly about his head, settle on his wagon, climb all over him with their pink feet as he stoops to pet some favorite. They are not mere pigeons to Pasquale: they are individuals and al) his favorites have names of their own. But Pasquale Lambo has a bit of tragedy to relate when one wins his confidence. He was feeding his pig eons a few days ago when a passing boy observed their tameness, returned with a broomstick and killed three of Pasquale’s pets with one blow The an American, in school and well dressed; Pasquale, an Italian, un lettered, lagged. But he would have cut off his hand rather than kill for pure wantonness the birds which trust ed him. "It make-a me so (rid. It hurt-a me so,” he said, simply. "Me. I would also like-a to keel." "Why didn’t you give the boy a beat ing?” asked a sympathizer. Pasquale shook his head. « "Dey make-a me arrest," he said. Dey believe-a da boy; dey no believe-a me. Dey lock-a me up. My pigeons dey fly away. No.” And he scattered the last of his pea nuts among his feathered friends and I turned back to his wagon. HE LOSES WIFE'S RING ON KING-HIGH FLUSHES KANSAS (TTY, Sept 23. —A story of a poker game, tol.d by a player who says he lost SIBO and a $lO5 diamond ring, for which he got SIOO, resulted in his arrest today. The complaint was made by the wife of the unlucky play er. According to C. .1. Butz, the husband Who lost, the game was a dazzling one. He said that four times in the game he held a flush with the king for a high card, and that each time his hand was beaten by an ace-high flush held by a player who held four aces on the first hand. After losing his money. Butz put his wife's diamond ring into the game and continued to lose. “GRIZZLY BEAR” DANCER IS DYING AFTER FIGHT ('Hit’AGO. Sept. 23.

There was a fight, in a strug gle with Weibush, Youngvist was shot through the head. PREPARING FOR METHODISTS. CARROLLTON. GA., Sept. 23. Car rollton is making great preparations to entertain the North Georgia Methodist conference on Novelnbei 20. Plans are already being perfected to take care of the more than 450 preachers and as many laymen. same leaders that he refused to recog nize at Syracuse day before yesterday'. “What I and other voters in New- York city have a right to know from Governor Wilson is whether, in ease he were "leeted president of the I’nited States, he would recognize ami treat with Mr. Murphy and his associates if they came to him as representing the Society of Tammany, but would retuse to have anything at all to do with them if they came to him as repTvsentlng Tammany Hall?

Sept, 23. —ln an address on "The Natural Forces in America Working Toward Interna tional Peace." before the International Poacij congress in session here. Mrs. Elmer Black, chairman of the propa ganda committee of the American P ace and Arbitration league, declared toduy that war as a means of settling differences between nations will soon be abolished. She said that there were certain invincible forces working to ward this end with little noise, but with Irresistible power. I slug conditions in America as an example, she said in part: I here are certain great natural forces working in America toward the final consummation of world peace. I hese natural forces are developing the processes of social and economic evo lution, through which we are working out our (tart in the world's destiny. I'i'st among these I place the re markable awakening of our peoj>le to the general subject of conservation. "We ate unquestionably alive to the importance of conserving our material and human res mrces. and this i- a con i dition opposed to war. i \V c are seeking riches and honor in fields of commerce and science instead of through military channels, and this also is opposed to war. "We have burned the great powht of co-operation in busines- dealings be tween individuals and this is opposed to war between nations.

Bretz was divorced from his wife be fore he left. Two sons brought suit to recover certain valuable property which their father once had held and which their sisters had deeded away.

Melvin Trotter, of Grand Rapids. Mich., who declared that the souls of professional men are hardest to save. "The professional man is too inter ested in his business to go to church, and too full of intellectual objections w hen he getst here." said Trotter. "His soul is hardest to save. It doesn't do any good to argue questions of dogma with him. You muSt get him inside the mission and show him results.” Tj-otter declared that the drug fiend ranked next to the professional man because of his untrustworthiness. The scarlet woman, he said, was third. "Women of that sort are so sure there is no hope for them that they are hare' to reach," he said. “Another obstaclf between them and salvation is the fac' that no one will give them hoqpst em ploymenf."
