MEXICO'S REPLY
UNSATISFACTDRY
Promise Protection for Ameri
cans as Demanded. But Fail
to Support Assertions.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11—Mexico’s
reply to President Taft’s note, written
in September, demanding that Ameri
can interests in Mexico be ) rotected,
was received by the state department
today, and is not regarded by the ofii
cials as satisfactory.
There will he further passage of dip
lomatic reports at once. The text of
neither President Taft's note nor the
Mexican reply has been made public,
but a high official of the state depart
ment today made the significant remark
that Mexico’s best reply' would have
been to protect American Interests,
which she has failed to do.
It is known that President Taft made
a very plain remonstrance against the
treatment accorded Americans and
American property b.v rebels, and indi
cated with equal plainness that the
United States expected the Mexican
government to assert its authority in
behalf of Americans. The Mexican re
ply contains promises of protection, but
these promises are not backed by ac
tual protection.
Aside from whatever action President
Taft may take, the state department
will continue to make remonstrances in
every' ease of damage to AwMMtican in
terests, and the clalnis>of DSKcountry
will be filed with the assul*Mce that
they will be pressed with vigor. It is
said claims for reparation already Hied
amount to more than 153,000,000.
The reply of the Madero government
was considered carefully by the state
department and the president, with a
view to outlining some method of pro
tection for American interests, rather
than what points of the note are satis
factory, as it is plainly stated that mere
promises, not supported by actual pro
tection, would receive little considera
tion from the government.

GOOD SHOES AT
LITTLE PRICES
That Is What the New
Lower Floor Department
Brings
These good shoes at little prices is not
just a matter of words—it is a matter of
fact. Before we opened this department we
saw to that. Fact is, that is the reason it
was opened. We saw that we could sell bet
ter shoes for the same money than are
found in the average store. We saw how wo
could do the people of Atlanta a real service,
how we could broaden our field.
And by good shoes at little prices we
mean not only that they are made of good
leathers, but also that the styles are right.
\ ou will be surprised to see just how closelv
they do follow the lines of the more expen
sive shoes here in this store—this in men’s
and women's and children’s. And at the
same time you will have the courteous, effi
cient help of capable salesmen. You will be
fitted properly.

WOMAN. 60, IS HELD
FOR SLAPPING COP SO
HARD HE “SAW STARS”
For soundly slapping the face of Po
liceman W. L. Payne, in an effort to
rescue her son. Mrs. N. E. Manning, 50
years old. 328 Cooper street, will be ar
raigned tomorrow morning before Re
corder Broyles.
Officer Payne declares the aged wom
an struck him so hard “he saw stars.”
The officer had gone to the Manning
home after the boy to take him out for
Identification In a robbery case*. The
mother, defending her boy, is said to
have defied the officer, and declared lie
should not take him out of the house.
When Officer Payne instated that he
would have to do this, Mrs. Manning, he
says, struck him across the face with
her open hand.
He took the boy and made a case
against the mother for disorderly con
duct.
SANITARY INSPECTION
OF BARBER SHOPS IN
ATLANTA PROPOSED
Atlanta barber shops are due for sani
tary inspection if the plans of J. C.
Shaughnessy, national organizer of the
Harbers' union, carry. Mr. Shaughnessy
touched this question this morning before
the Southeastern laibor congress, which
concludes a three-day session tonight at
the capitol. He believes that the barber
shops should be Inspected regularly to
insure sanitary towels,
equipment, and the like.
Another speaker was George Berry,
president of the International Printing
Pressmen’s union, who dealt with the
question of whether the congress should
be permanent. There was much discus
sion pro and con, but the sentiment of
the delegates seemed to be in favor of
perpetuating the institution.
WESTERN UNION NOTIFIES
STATE OF CONDEMNATION
Governor Brown today was served with
official notice by the Western Union
Telegraph Company, through its local at
torneys, of its Intention to go forward
with condemnation proceedings along the
right of way of the Western and Atlantic'
railroad, for the purpose of erecting poles
for its telegraph service between Atlanta
and Chattanooga.
The governor was necessarily served in
this matter, as the road is the state's
property. He referred the notice to the
attorney general, after acknowledging its
service by the Western Union’s lawyers.
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1912.
From The Nett York Press
HEARST SAYS REPUBLICAN
PARTY IS UN-AMERICAN
Organization That Confuses Majority Rule with "Mob Rule”
Was Repudiated by Voters. He Explains, Because
Leaders Lost Faith in the People.
On Saturday evening Mr. Frank Moss
made a speech at the Young Republi
can club, in which he discussed the re
cent disaster to the Republican party.
Mr. Moss’ speech was illuminating,
not perhaps so much on account of
what he meant, but at least on account
of what he said.
Mr. Moss spoke with sorrow of the
great defection of the radical or popular
vote from the Republican party at the
lute election.
He paraphrased the farmer's descrip
tion of an automobile, and said that the
Republican party reminded him of a
"pair of pants” walking down the street
without anything inside of them.
Then Mr. Moss continued his speech,
and in the course of it made another
noteworthy remark. He said that he
did not believe in the recall of judges,
and the reason that he did not approve
of this idea was because he did not be
lieve in “turning the 1 courts over to
mob rule.”
There is a lesson In these two para
graphs of Mr. Moss’ speech which Mr.
Moss teaches to the discerning, but
which he himself.and most of tiie Re
publican leaders seem t,oo obstinate and
opinionated to recognize, even in the
face of the educational experience of
the recent election.
Why does not Mr. Moss realize that
there may be a very definite connection
—a certain consecutiveness of cause
and effect —between the two paragraphs
in his speech?
Why can not Mr. Moss see that the
reason there are no popular legs in the
"pants” of the Republican party is be
cause of the unpopular, un-Republlcan.
un-American actions and opinions and
expressions of the leaders of the Re
publican party?
Perhaps it is useless to attempt to
approach or affect the mind of the old
fqshioned reactionary Republican. That
mind is hard set in the grip of his prej
udices. It is like the skeleton of some
extinct animal, burled in the stratum
of a geological period that is past. It is
like one of the fishes hidden in the
darkness of the Mammoth Cave—a fish
which has been so long without light
that it has lost the means of detecting
light if ever a ray should reach it.
But Young Republicans have as yet
the eyes to see and the ears to hear,
and I would like to place before them
some plain facts in contradiction of
Mr. Moss' sentiments.
The initiative, the referendum, the
recall, direct primaries and the other
items of the Progressive program are
only exercised in practice through the
political expression of the will of the
majority, and the majority pf the Amer
ican people is not a mob and majority
rule is not mob rule.
The whole government of this Ameri
can nation is based on the principle of
majority rule, and the whole of major
ity rule is based on confidence in the
wisdom and intelligence and patriotism
of the mass of the people.
If you, Mr. Moss, anti many other Re
publican leaders, consider majority rule
“mob rule,” you naturally hesitate to
allow a majority of American citizens
the same control over their public prop
erty and public employees that all in
dividuals are allowed in their private
business.
Therefore you object to the referen
dum and the recall.
If you Republican leaders believe that
the majority is a mob and that ma
jority rule is mob rule, you naturally
object to a free expression of this ma
jority rule in the nomination of your
candidates.
Therefore you oppose direct nomina
tions and popular primaries.
Therefore you hold packed conven
tions.
Therefore you nominate men that the

people do not want and reject the men
that the people do want.
If you Republican leaders are con
vinced that majority rule is mob rule,
you naturally oppose the unhampered
operation of that principle in politics.
Therefore you have depended in
elections upon the power of money, the
pull of political machines and the sinis
ter secret influence of tljp privileged in
terests.
Therefore you have been guided by
tin- selfish shrewdness of the favored
few and not by the wisdom and the
judgment and the patriotic spirit of the
majority of the people.
Therefore you have been disastrously
ami deservedly defeated.
Mr. Moss and gentlemanly leaders of
the Republican party in general, the
reason there are no popular legs in the
Republican pair of “pants” is because
the people have no confidence in the pa
triotism and capacity of the Republi
can party.
And the reason the people have no
confidence in the Republican party is
because the leaders of the Republican
party have no confidence in the pa
triotism and capacity of the people.
It was not Mr. Roosevelt who defeat
ed the Republican party at the late
election.
It was not Mr. Wilson who defeated
the Republican party at the late elec
tion.
It was the well considered determina
tion of the competent and conscientious
voters of this nation to repudiate a
party which had repudiated the people,
to rebuke a party which had ceased to
serve the people, to depose a party
which had lost faith in the people.
The first great leader of the Republi
can party led his party to a splendid
and supreme success because he had an
abiding and impelling and inspiring
faith in the worth and wisdom of the
people, in a government of the people,
by the people and for the people.
• You Young Republicans have heard
that final phrase fall so often from the
lips of shallow and insincere politicians
that it has become almost a meaning
less commonplace.
Imagine what those words meant to
Abraham Lincoln, and what they should
and would mean to you if you heard
them for the first time, uttered with all
the fervor of conviction and inspiration
by the man who not only gave freedom
to the slaves, but restored popular lib
erty and civic conscience to the nation,
and established the eternal right of the
majority to rule —by the man who not
only retained our territory undivided,
but preserved the principles and pur
poses of aur republic undefiled. -
It is impossible to conceive Abraham
Lincoln referring to majority rule as
"mob rule,” and the difference between
the Republican party of Lincoln’s day
and the Republican party of today is
exactly as great as the difference be
tween the ideas and Uf Lin
coln and the and utterances qf
the Republican'leaclers of today;
There will never be any popular legs
in the Republican pair of political
“pants” until,.there is a change in the
pattern of thV'“punts," until there is, ft
change in the character of Republican
principles, until there are Republican
leaders who do not believe that a gov
ernment of the people, by thb people
and for the people is “mob rule.”
The Republican party and the nation
need leaders who, like Lincoln, have
confidence in the capacity of the peo
ple to regulate all functions of gov
ernment, to control all public officials
and to direct the destinies of this great
nation for the best intesests of all.
When the Republican party can fur
nish such leaders, if may hope to re
gain its place in the public confidence
and esteem.

MRS. DUGAS Iffl
SUE FDR ALIMONY
Confers With Attorneys Rela
tive to Court Decree Over
Tillman Children.
COLUMBIA, S. C„ Dec. 11. —Dissatis-
fied with the decree of the South Caro
lina supreme court for the custody of
the Tillman children, Attorneys A. C.
Depass and S. M. Simpkins, represent
ing Mrs. Lucy Dugas, are today con
ferring with her in Edgefield as to
what steps will be taken toward a set
tlement of the Tillman-Dugas ease.
The attorneys would not state what
their plans are and when asked if Mrs.
Dugas would sue for alimony, replied
that they did not care to make a state
ment.
The decree of the court does not pro
vide for the support of the Tillman
children and it is likely that Mrs. Dugas
intends to sue for alimony. When
asked if Mrs. Dugas would abide by
the decree of the court, her counsel
stated that she would make an honest
effort to do so.
The prime motive for the meeting of
the counsel today is to arrange the
times when Tillman will see his chil
dren and for carrying out of other fea
tures of the decree. The attorneys are
meeting in Edgefield with Mrs. Dugas.
