8 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.

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.

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 I~ QnSavin js A Christmas Message A gift that will build Character and give your boy or girl permanent Hap piness is an ideal gift.

Georgia 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. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST. LIABILITIES.

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. TWO SCHOOL GIRLS SEE BLACKHAND MURDER CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—Two school girls today saw what is believed to have been a deliberate black hand murder. A well dressed man, apparently an Italian, as yet unidentified, was shot and killed by an assassin who crept up behind him in the street and fired two shots. A number of persons saw the killing, but the school girls, Agnes and Mabel jWey ers, were the only ones close enough to give the police a description of the as sassin.
