FREE TRADE NOT 1 OF WILSON, HE ASSERTS We Must Weed Out Industrial Garden That We tyave Been Cultivating. He Says. * * CLEVELAND, OHIO, Oct. 12. —Gov- ernor Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate for president., in a speech IPI r denied that he was an advocate of fee trade. He said there can not be free trade in the United States so long fi , the established fiscal policy of the federal government is maintained. The Federal government,” said the governor, “has chosen throughout the srcnerations that have preceded us to maintain itself chiefly on indirect in terest of direct taxation. I dare say we .hall never see a time when it can alter that policy in any substantial degree, nn<i there is no Democrat of prudence, or thoughtfulness, that J have met who contemplates a program of free trade.” The candidate devoted most of his thought to what has now become known as his pet theme—special privilege. He spoke with more than usual ear nestness and eloquence on this subject an 1 roused his hearers to a high state of enthusiasm. In a burst of generous spirit, not al ways encountered in candidates, Gov e nor Wilson declared that he yielded t- no man in his.personal admiration o f President Taft. This sentiment elic ited rounds of applause. He also paid s warm tribute to Senator LaFollette, tgain applying to him the term of “The Little Giant of Wisconsin” —the candi date declaring that he felt a kindred spirit t< all those in the ranks of pro- K '-c.-«ive Democracy, regardless of their labels In outlining the tariff policy of the Democratic’ party,* Governor. Wilson spoke in part as follows: Weed the Garden of Industry. What we intend to do. what the house of rep'esentatlves has been at tempting to do and will attempt to do again, and succeed, is to weed this garden of industry that we have been cultivating, ft we have been laying at the roots of our industrial enterprises this fertilization of protection we have found that the stimulation was not equal In respect of all the. growths in the garden, and that there are some growths which every man can distin guish with the naked eye, which have so overtopped the rest, which have so thrown the rest Into destroying shadow, that it is impossible for the industries of the United States as a whole to pros per under their desolating obstruction. In other words, we have found out that this that professes to be a process- of protection has become a process of favoritisnj, and that the favorites of this policy have flourished at. the ex pense of all the rest. We are going into our garden, therefore, and weed it. »We are going to give the little plants air and light in which to grow. We are going to pull up every root that has so spread itself as to draw' all the nutri ment of the soil from the other plants "'■ are going to see to it that fertiliza lion of intelligence, of invention, of o'igination. Is once more applied to a «-t of industries now threatening to be f'agnant. because threatening to be too much concent:ated. That is the policy n f the Democratic party in regard to the protective tariff, as I understand it.” About Taft’s Vetoes. In speaking of the present condition of the government, Governor Wilson said that it was neither flesh, fish nor f°" so far as parly control is con cerned. He said that in the senate, a union of Democrats and so-called Re nans have been sending a Repub president. measu,ies which are consistently vetoed, and arguing, from hypothesis that the next congress | )P progressive, m both the house so.; the senate, he said that it would be so v to have a president that would not rvn with them, no matter how admtr f" " is character, or high and patriotic his purposes.

DENEENINT.R.’S "ANANIAS CLUB" Assails Governor for “Willful Perversion of Truth”—Calls Him Lorimer Ally. • 'HK’AGO, Oct. 12. —Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt today assailed Govern or Charles S. Deneen for “deliberate and willful perversion of the truth” sh a recent speech In which the governor charged the colonel admitted that only 34 of the contests brought before the Chicago convention were mdde in good faith. Roosevelt also denounced De neen as a friend and ally of ex-Senator Lorimer. Roosevelt declined to address the Italian societies engaged in the celebra tion of Columbus day, in conjunction with the Knights of Columbus. The colonel had been invited by Thomas O'Shaughnessy to take part in the pageant and make an address. Presi dent Brown, of the Knights of Colum bus, objected on the ground that the Knights took no part in politics and that O'Shaughnessy was the artist in charge of the pageant, I -it had no au thority to invite any one o make an address. When he learned the facts, the colonel said he could not consider the invitation. Tile attack on Governor Deneen was made in a statement issued after a conference with local leaders. The colonel spoke to a crowd jam med around the LaSalle hotel when he arrived from th«- station. "This fight is the fight of the peo ple,” he began. An enormous crowd greeted tlie colo nel and cheered him as he motored from the station to the hotel. Democratic and the Republican parties, or rather between the Democratic party and those various other groups and parts of parties that are masquerading under all sorts of names, is that they are willing to accept the discretionary power of individuals, and we are not willing t<f accept anything except the certainty of law. That is the only thing that has ever afforded salvation or safety.” Governor Wilson affirmed that the problem confronting the American peo ple was not one of revolution, bus of readjustment. “And what I want to suggest.” said he. “is that the only basis, the only standard of readjustment, proposed or suggested by our opponents is the standard of principle. The expediency of the situation is merely to see to it that those who receive speciaFxprivi leges behave themselves, whereas our principle is that nobody ought to re ceive or retain special privileges at all; that every special privilege shall be de stroyed. not with a ruthless hand, not In such a fashion as suddenly to upset the conditions of business, but. never theless, with the firmness and kindness of the judicious parent.

But the beauty of Democracy Is that when you ate reckless you destroy your own established conditions of life; when you ate vindictive you reek your vengeance upon yours< If, and tiiat the whole stability of Democratic policy rests upon the fact that each interest Is every man's interest." After outlining the conditions of mo nopoly which preclude from the field of commerce all small competitors, the candidate said: “1 want conditions created which will permit a man to begin business on ever so. small a scale and let him be safe in beginning ft on a small scale He Is not safe now became if he enters the field where a great combination has established a market, that combination will und'-rsell him in his local market, which is his onl> market, making Its necessary profits In other parts of the country, until he Is killed off, and en te prise after enterprise is nipped In It* Infamy hv the monopolistic control of our industrial market- I would -'em as if America weir about to see x generation mow up whh a musi h> a generation of employees. unless il J HE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND N LVTS.SATTUD \V. OCTOBER 12, 1912. In planning a raid one afternoon the lads went out to the vicinity of the water works and entered a house, taking cof fee, bread and other food. M. King, a man living near the waterworks, missed a cow valued at $45 shortly afterwards and notified the police. The. animal was located at the Union stockyards, where a stockman said that he had bought it from some boys for sl3. The daring downtown operations began September 26 and for days the police were puzzled over the peculiar character of the thefts. The boys W'ere arrested a week ago and have been held at the de tention home in Central avenue, pending further investigation by children’s court authorities. Parents of the boys asserted that they thought they were in school dll the time. The lads explained that they had been faking excuses. The "Boston" gang, according to the description given the authorities, is an organization of about 25 or 30 boys mak ing the corner of Simpson, and Spring streets their redezvous No action was taken in the case of young Moore.

Oct. 12.—Ragtime music, which some hold first flowed brokenly out from the darkies' cabins in Amer ica’*- Southern states, seems about to conquer the world. This fitusic of the syncopated time has already captured England. It has been said truly that “the hard est thing in the world is to persuade a Briton to do anything he never did before and the next hardest is to get him to quit doing that thing after he has once started." The Briton scoffed at ragtime for years; now it has become a craze, a passion with- him. Most gravely the London newspapers are discussing analyzing this nervous brand of mu sic. Heading them, an American brought up on ragtime has a mental picture of an old man dissecting a butterfly. ■* The London Daily Standard prints a column story, headed “The Psychology of Ragtime." and gives interviews with many London musicians on the “fas cination of this new and wonderful lilt. America has again turned a trick and the whole busy world is humming its new music, which rushed just as fast as its modern hustling life.” The Daily Mall in a column article on its editorial page refers to it as “the musical ideal of American life,” and goes on saying: “A craze, a boom if you will, but nevertheless a force in our social life. Every tune is like a live current switched on to the emo tions and, with all its eccentricities and novelties, it contains the virtue of vi tality.” • The ability to sing and play ragtime has cost the British army a fine sol dier—Captain Arthur Wood, son of Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood and nephew’ of Mrs. Charles Stewart Par nell. who was known as Kitty O'Shea' before she married the famous Irish leader. The stage has won him from the army. Captain Wood, who has a good voice and plays the piano well, used to revive his fellow officers by singing to them around the camp fires of Cole-nso and Spion Kop during the Boer war. He accompanies himself on the piano and is loudly applauded. His salary is five or six times the amount he drew as a captain. BECOMES R. R. SUPERINTENDENT. COLUMBUS. GA., Oct. 12.—W.

I confidently predict, where America will allow itself to be employed and patronized and taken care of." Must Redeem Our Trust. After declaring that the people of the old world had realized their dreams of liberty in America, mentioning particu larly Hungary and Italy, the governor concluded with the following eloquent words: "We are trustees of the confidence of mankind in liberty. If we do not re deem th* trust, if we do not fulfill the pledge, then we are of ail nations the most to be pitied, for the more high you: aim, the more disastrous your fail ure to reach It; the more glorisus your program, the more contemptible your failure. "Why did we lift this vision of peace before mankind if we did not know the terms on which peace could be realized'.'

Scores Conduct of Accused Jurist. Judge Augustus W. Fite, of the Cherokee circuit, came to the bar of the court of appeals today, in answer to a rule for contempt, and entered a con fession and plea in evidence. The judge admitted the things the court charged him with saying, but de nied that he meant to be contemptuous in saying them. During the morning session by far the most impressive feature of the healing was Judge Samuel B. Adams’ plea in behaif of the court. In that plea he unmercifully scored Fite, charging him with criminal con tempt against the court, and vehement ly protesting his attempt to saddle upon the court of appeals presumption of sympathy for a negro would-be assail ant of a white woman. Judge Adams address was listened to atnid breathless silence, and evi dently impressed the crowded court room tremendously. Judge Fite listened to it, pale of face and plainly nervous. Fite Late in Appearing. 1 he respondent was not in court at the hour set for a hearing, because of a late train, and postponement was made for one hour and thirty minutes in order that he might be heard in order and in full. Judge Kite was present in court, but responded through his attorneys, T. W. Milner. George W Gober. Sam P. Mau dox and .1. M. Neel. The court, of its.own motion, was rep resented by Judge Andrew .1. Cobh and SAmuel B. Adams. Judge Fite's newspaper card, to which the court of appeals took exception, was read in full. 1 he court of appeals, in its rule against. Fite, set up that Fite’s newspaper card was contemptuous, and calculated to bring the court into disrepute and to em barrass it and impede it in the adminis tration of justice. A second newspaper article from Judge Fite was then introduced by the court's attorneys, and which appeared several days after the first card appeared, to show the deliberate intent upon the part of Fite to be disrespectful and contemptu ous. “No Direct Contempt.” Fite's attorneys, after the introduction of this evidence, asked time to amend their answer to meet it, but this was de nied by the court. Respondent’s counsel argued that there was, at least, no direct contempt of the court, but that it was constructive and indirect, and not a proper case for the court’s indignant attention. It was contended that any man. judge or private, has a right to criticise courts, and that Kite's card was well within that rule -that he had the right as a man to criticise the court through the newspaper, and that he did that, and that only, with in reasonable lines, and tiiat he had dis claimed any intent to be contemptuous or disrespectful in his articles. Adams Grills Fite. Judge Milner insisted that any citizen has the right to criticise any court, save in pending cases, but not to insult it, and that Fite positively denied in his answer all intent to insult. Judge Samuel B. Adams, for the court, contended that Ihe contempt was not only well defined but positive or criminal He said it was not a question of con tempt against persons, nor was it any thing in the nature of a civil contempt, which was a much less serious offense, and that it was particularly outrageous in that it raised the race issue and the sanctity of womanhood to the prejudice of the court and its malicious embarrass ment. Judge Adams said that no more repre hensible case of criminal contempt could hardly be imagined. He denied the con tention of respondent's counsel that, at the time of Fite's contempt, the McCul lough case still was pending in courts, and that the defendant s case was not legally concluded. Judge Adams quoted numerous rulings of other courts to show that Fite's not only was direct and not constructive, but, criminal and subject to the court s au thority. He said that Fite’s assault upon the court of appeals was particularly vi cious in view of the fact that he himself is a judge and charged above all men. therefore, with maintaining the dignity of the courts. Judge Adams said that no man had a .right to call a court corrupt and dishonest, and then say he "didn’t mean it" and that that was all Fite did. Emphasizes Contempt. He particularly emphasized the con tempt of Fite's attempt to raise a pre sumption of sympathj upon the part of the court for a negio assailant of a white woman, and said that was the most in s„,ir)g !in ' l contemptuous utterance of all 1-ite said. Judge Adams' address was delivered with extreme dignity and listened to iv breathless silence by an evidently pro foundly Impressed audience At the conclusion of Judge Adams' ad dress. the court adjourned until 3 o'cloel this afternoon. Retracts “Pitiful.” Judge Fite, in his reply, said that he intended no injustice in not having the jurx polled, but wanted to expedite mat ters to appease mob passions tmong other things, he said: "It is probable that this honorable court did not recognize, as did your re spondent, the necessity for prompt ami immediate action upon the rendition of the verdict, or the existence of such ne cessity as a reason why this respondent overlooked the right in defendant of hav ing the jury in that case polled If he so desired. It will be recalled that this de cision was quoted at length in the dallt papers of the state, with various criti cisms of the same, not all of which were calculated to engender in the public mind that respect for your respondent as a court, so essential to everv trial court who directly seeks to administer justice to the litigants in his circuit.

' PDINGEOFW COMING TD U. 5. Heir to Great Britain’s Throne Is Due to Arrive in City of New York in 1914. LONDON, Oct. 12. —It is now pretty definitely arranged that the Prince of Waleta will visit New York, as his grandfather, King Edward, did when he, too, was Prince of Wales, Should the young prince set foot on American soil he will be the guest of Ambassador and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, who, in New York, entertained the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and their captivating daughter. Princess Patricia. So. of the three women to whose motherly care Queen Mary will have in trusted her first horn, two are Ameri cans. The prince went to Paris as the guest of Marquis De Breuteulle, whose wife was a Miss Garner, of New York. Mrs. Whitelaw Reid will be his host ess in New York. In Ottawa he will be under the ma tronly eye of his grand-aunt, the Duch ess of Connaught, who . was Princess Louise Marguerite of Prussia. Brother Coming Too. It wias arranged within the last few days that the prince will visit Canada during 1914. On condition that he goes there, the Duke of Connaught is ready to remain longer as governor general. Accompanying the prince will be his brolhet . Prime Albert, not yet 17 years of age. It was Queen Alexandra, always so gracious and friendly to Americans, who suggested that the heir to the throne go to New York. Or, as the queen mother expressed -it. laughingly: “It would be discourteous for Dave to call next door and not to drop in on New York." With all his high sounding titles, the Prince of Wales is “Dave" in tlie inti macy of his family. Queen Alexandra thinks he should have a free foot; she strongly disap proves of the almost puritanical strict ness his mother exercises over him. He is a chap of 18, agile and pleasant look ing, but very young for his years. His favorite adjectives are “awfully” and "jolly,” often in conjunction.

The failwwing tation is exactly what Mr. Chambers published, and can be found in TS-point type in a fcaif. page advertisement in either The Journal or Georgian of October 1, 1912: HERE IT IS WITHOUT A SINGLE CHANGE: This campaign is simply an issue of decency against Indecency and involves mere ly the question of whether a common blackguard, who will stoop to any unscrupulous slander, and who hafc adopted such methods in his race for mayor as to almost frighten any decent man from entering a race against him, shall be placed by this city at the head of its government, and thus advertise to the world that a majority of her people are of the Woodward type.” (Signed) ALDINE CHAMBERS, STOP AND THINK IT OVER Is Mr. Chambers, who stoops to such methods in his political gymnastics in order to gain votes, big and broad enough to be your chief executive?

Mr. Woodward and this committee extend their most sincere thanks, and deeply regret that Mr. Chambers should so lar forget himself as to openly insult them for their loyalty to Mr. Woodward.

Falls on Bellevue boulevard and stole $12,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry, court has excited much comment in so ciety. The Earl of Antrem’s brother, long principal secretary to the Earl of Salisbury. Sir Schomberg, is in the prime of life and ambitious. But King George and Queen Mary will have no one near them or even serving them in directly in the government whose moral character has been impugned. Sir Schomberg lias been cited as co respondent by Major Harrison in his pending divorce suit. Mrs. Harrison, a pretty little woman, is well known in society; her father, Henry^Davies, has a villa at Naples, where many Americans have enjoyed his hospitality. Major Harrison, w ho was devoted to his wife, is in the depths of grief and shame. Tlie fact that their majesties should so punish a government official is caus ing agitation. Rabid Tories are scruti nizing' the private life of Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer, and other men they hate, in the hope that they may be compelled to resign office.
