4 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, Nitro Cartridges Kill Zapatists MEXICO CITY.

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. (Advertisement.) SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS By JAMES B. NEVIN.

The obvious ex ception immedi ately occurring to the average mind, of course, is the white house; but it must be re membered that Mr. Roosevelt does not propose going | there soon, unless it be as the presi dent for another 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 tion) and so forth and so on.

Nine people out of ten think he coined the famous sentence. "Don't be a mollycoddle," but he didn't. He gave it currency, however. He could take on of Aristophanes' most ancient Jests, apply it neatly, and make 2,465,756 people believe he— Roosevelt—invented it! Recently he put Armageddon hack on the map! Jt took a real putter to dn that! And, anyway one looks at it, the colonel is a great show, and more than worth the price of admission.

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.

Dann A H Stevens John I. Miller, Jr. 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.
