SENATE PROBERS
TO RECOMMEND
INTERVENTION
"
Sub-Committee Sent to Mexi
can Border Now Compiling
Report to Congress.
LOS ANGELES. CAL.. Sept. 28. In
tervention in Mexico by the United
States to protect Americans and Ameri
can interests in the southern republic
is to be recommended by the sub-com
mittee of the United States senate,
which has been investigating affairs re
lating to Mexico for the past two years,
according to reports here today.
The sub-committee has practically
finished its labors and is preparing its
report, which will be voluminous. Evi
dence brought before the investigators
is said to have proved conclusively
that no American money was used to
finance the Orozco rebellion, but that
Yankee money financed the Madero
revolution. The report will mention
two large corporations in this connec
tion. The committee has until January
4. 1913, to complete its work, but it is
believed it will report to the senate
committee on foreign relations much
earlier. >
Analyzed, the evidence shows that
during the past two years ten million
rounds of ammunition went into Mexi
co from El Paso, and 80.000 rounds
from Los Angeles. It also shows that
from El Paso 40,000 rifles had been
sent across the border, and 100 from
Los Angeles. More than 500 tons of
dynamite went Into Mexico during the
periods of revolutions The dynamite
whs used for mining and blow ing up of
bridges. No dynamite is allowed to be
shipped into Mexico at the present
time,

FOR CITY WARDEN
VOTE FOR LASSALLE.
As election day draws
nearer, everything points to
my election as city warden.
Everything looks good to
me, and my friends are sure
of victory. All I ask is that
they keep up the good fight'
until the last vote is polled.
Mr. Voter, I want to say
to you that I am acquainted
with all the duties of the
city warden office, and if
elected I can assure you
that I can fill all the duties
that are required of me, re
gardless of what my oppo
nent says.
I further say that is one
city office that should be
filled by a married man. be
cause most all who apply to
that office for help are
women, and I say a mar
ried man under those con
ditions, is the best man for
the office, and if you think
so, then vote for me, and I
will thank you for your
kindness and vote. My op
ponent is a single man and
has been in office nine
years. Yours truly,
S. B LASSALLE.

Mr. Roosevelt does

it be as the presi

term
Whether he gets there soon or late in
that capacity is a story yet to be told.
The former president makes himself
welcome now and then where he ordi
narily might not be expected to win
particularly high favor. He is a re
markable men—which is an observa
tion trite enough, at that—and he
knows how to adjust himself to his im
medlate environment.
The hope of the Progressive Repub
lican party is a. consummate politician
—North or South, East or West, he
plays the game incessantly!
It has been said that to be known
generally by a nickname rather than
one's real name is an evidence of per
sonal popularity, unmistakable. Wheth
er the rule holds good or not. it is a
fact that Mr. Roosevelt is possessed of
a most diversified collection of substi
tutes for his real name.
One rarely heard Mr. Cleveland or
Mr. McKinley or Mr. Harrison called
"out of their right names,” but Mr.
Roosevelt revels in "Bwana Tumbo,"
"T. R.,” "The Colonel," "The Rough
Rider," “Teddy," "The Bull Moose.” "T.
Rozonfelt” (there isn’t a newspaper
correspondent in Washingion that calls
him anything else In private conversa

Nine people out of ten think he
coined the famous sentence. "Don't be

Some recent more or less illuminat
ing animadversions in this column of
uplift, anent the subject of Senator
Bacon’s whiskers long ago dispensed
with, have been commented upon ex
tensively by some esteemed contem
poraries. and particularly do they seem
to be interested in finding out why the
senator shaved them off one bright and
sunshiny day in June
The Valdosta Times thinks the sena
tor dispensed with them because he be
lieved they handicapped him in his po
litical ambitions, and calls attention to
the fact that his political career ever
since the shaving has been uniformly
successful.
That really is not conclusive, be
cause the senator’s political career pre
vious to his unwhiskered estate w’as
rather evenly successful, save in his
endeavors to reach the governorship—
and neither Bacon nor any other man
could go up against the old "rebel yell"
and get away with it, and that is pre
cisely what the senator undertook
to do.
The real reason why the senator
shaved his whiskers, perhaps, is be
cause of th§ rampant rise of Populism
in the late eighties.
Whiskers were an agreed part of a
Populist's regalia, and as Bacon never
was any part of a Populist, he took
those whiskers off in order to avoid
even the merest appearance of evil.
WOMEN IN KANSAS TRY
TO GROW HAIR ON BALD
HEADS TO WIN VOTES
TOPEKA, KANS., Sept. 28, The femi

hair and hair tonic for votes. The wo
men who are leading the Kansas Equal
Suffrage battle are reaching out for the
bald-headed men.
Listen to what Mrs. Lilia Day Monroe,
foremost suffragist of Topeka, has to say
about it.
"If we can make hair grow on every
bald bead in Kansas before the fifth day
of November," she declares, ''we will win
this battle for the ballot and for justice.”
Mrs. Monroe wants to vote. Therefore,
she is willing to make and sell hair tonlo
to the man who is as hairless as a Mexi
can poodle. She wants this hairless per
son’s gratitude; therefore she maneuvers
through his gratitude for his vote.
“We have tried every plan we could
think of to get ba'd-headed men interest
ed, now we are going after him wl.th the
promise of hair. Yes, hair, that Is the slo
gan of the Kansas Equal Suffrage battle
from this day and date until the polls

WHY MR. WOODWARD
SHOULD BE DEFEATED
(From The Atlanta Journal.)
Atlanta is soon to choose new city officials for a term
of two years. Chief among these will be a mayor, the
head of the municipal government. Whoever is named
to this office will, by the very fact of his election, bear the
stamp of the community’s approval as a true type of its
thought and purpose; be will stand before the state and
the country-at-large as the chosen representative of our
people s business interests, their social standards and their
civic ideals. By his deportment at home and abroad, by
his record and his character, the people of Atlanta will very
largely be judged; and properly so, for it is within their
power to say what manner of man their mayor shall be.
If he is of good repute and wears worthily the honor
accorded him. his election will then be a credit to the
community. But if he trails his high office through ways
that are foul and smirches the public lionor with his
private misdeeds, then his election becomes a shame and
rebuke to the city that intrusted its good name to his
keeping. Nor is this all. For, a mayor who is morally
unfit and who is faithless to social and official standards
not only stains a city’s reputation, but he also menaces its
very character. From the prominence of his position, his
bad example becomes a thousandfold worse in its effect
His office itself is degraded in the public mind and the
man who should be an inspiration to good citizenship be
comes a snare of cynical distrust. Any city where such
a spirit prevails is built upon fateful sands and will fall.
A mayor of Atlanta should embody the best traits of
the people he is to serve: otherwise he could not really
represent them or do their will. He should be mannerly,
high-minded, dependable, competent and, above all, his
moral character should be beyond reproach. Certain it is
that wanton and notorious disregard of decency in public
and private life utterly disqualifies any man for the re
sponsible office of Atlanta's chief executive.
In the forthcoming mayoralty election, The Journal
has no more interest than that which any true citizen
should fee! in his community’s welfare. We are not even
remotely concerned with the individual or political for
tunes of any candidate. Only to the extent that these can
didacies bear upon public interests and public honor is it
our business or our purpose to discuss them. We should
very much prefer to let this election come and go without
a word of personal comment But we can npt escape the
fact that the city of Atlanta again faces a decision on
which its continued prestige and well being vitally de
pend; and at such a juncture silence would be nothing
short of treachery.
It is a regrettable circumstance that Mr. James G,
Woodward should again have embarrassed this city by
seeking the mayorship in defiance of the community’s
emphatic opinion as recorded at the last two elections.
Let us make it clear in the outset that we are dis
cussing Mr. Woodward not as an individual, but solely as
a candidate for mayor. He has qualities that well deserve
the regard and friendship of those with whom he deals in
business and personal relationships. For all such traits,
we cordially give him credit.
But the stubborn fact remains that through his own
conduct, Mr. Woodward has fatally disqualified himself
for the mayoralty of this city. There is no pleasure in
recalling the circumstances under which the people of
Atlanta rose virtually as a unit four years ago to assert
their civic conscience and self-respect. But Mr. Wood
ward himself has provoked the very issue that existed
then. Evidently heedless of the people’s judgment as it
was rendered in 1908. he thrust himself back into the lime
light two years later and forced the same campaign to be
fought over with just the same result.
Surely, that should have sufficed. But in the utter dis
regard of the community's sentiment as expressed at two
successive elections he now comes forward for a third
time, asking the citizens of Atlanta to cancel their former
pledges and. in fact, to repudiate the stand they have taken
upon an issue that has its beginning and end in a ques
tion of civic decency.
1 he facts and reasons that barred Mr. Woodward from
the suffrage of good citizens in 1908 and 1910 are as im
perative today as they ever were; and a disregard of
those facts would be as calamitous to Atlanta now as then
It is not a question of whether the moral record on
which he was repudiated has been atoned. It is simply a
question of whether a mayor who has repeatedly disgraced
the city at home and abroad should ever again be in
trusted with that high office and placed before the world
as the representative of Atlanta people.
If Mr. Woodward has forsworn the ways through which
he dragged the city's name, when he was in office, that if
distinctly to his credit as a man. but it in no wise change?
his status as a candidate.
In no circumstances can the people of Atlanta afford
to re-commit their city’s interests and reputation to an
official who made himself notorious throughout the Union
by a flagrant disregard of decent and moral conduct.
lor. to do this would be to invite the censure and
scorn of upright citizens everywhere and again to expose
this community to the humiliation it so bitterly suffered
in the past.
I he Journal, we repeat, has no interest in the mayor's
race, or in any of the candidates except in-so-far as the
public s welfare is concerned. But it is so evident a fact
that the election of Mr. James G. Woodward would be a
public misfortune that no true citizen can remain indiffer
ent in these circumstances.
We, therefore, urge upon the people of Atlanta, as a
matter of community pride and in behalf of their own
deepest interests, to see to it that the city is spared the
humiliation and the injury which Mr. Woodward's election
would inevitably entail.
And to this end, they should concentrate their support
upon some other candidate, that candidate who gives the
clearest and surest promise of being elected and of mak
ing a satisfactory mayor. The representative sentiment
of Atlanta people should not be divided at. such a tint"’
and on such an issue. The good name, the moral health,
the continued prestige of their city are in the balance. For
the sake of all these interests and their vital bearing on
our business and our homes, Mr. Woodward must be de
feated.
Let all good citizens take the surest course to thM
all-important result.
