‘Equal Suffrage Pure Democracy’
•!•••!- +•+ ■!•••;• •!•••!•
So Declares Miss Fola LaFollette
INTO STATUTE Talks to Women's Political Union
Enacted Under Two Administra
tions After Being 13 Months
Before Georgia Legislature.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Governor Brown’s now famous
.Msei’li, "The Supremacy of the haw,”
recently sharply criticised by the
Georgia Federation f Labor in AU-
K ista. and by Judge Emory Speer,
was the outcome of a certain legisla
tive act that has q^ther a remarkable
history.
Whatever the merits of the legisla
tion in question, the statement that it
was "slipped Into the statute books"
is hardly warranted, since it was en
acted under the eye of two separate
administrations, and after thirteen
months r. consideration
in order that the records of this
legislation may be kept perfectly
straight, and the absolute truth of it
be preserved, may be written that
the bill enacting this military legis
lation, under which the troops were
ordered out in Augusta, was intro
duced by Senator Spence, of the
Tenth District, and was read the first
time July 18, 1911—when Governor
Smith was in the executive office.
Senator Spe .ce was a Smith partisan
in that legislature.
Ttie bill was read the second time
July 21, 1911, and read the third and
last time in the Se..ate August 1,
1911, and passed by a vote of 37 to
It was read in the House the first
ime August 4, 1911; read the second
ime August 10, 1911; and finally read
nd passed August 13, 1913, a year
iter, by a vote of 11« to 9 When it
assed. Governor Brown was in the
xe .jtlve ( "*ce.
The hill was enacted, therefore, by
n almost unanimous vote of both
louses of the legislature, and after
3 months of consideration.
It figured in two administrations,
nd was introduced by a partisan of
Tie executive and supported by par-
isans of another.
That it is legislative history—differ
bout It as people may, and as to the
visdom of it.
Editor Henry McIntosh, of the Al
bany Herald, is not mightily im-
Ipressed with some of the airs office
Iholders give themselves nowadays.
In a recent issue of his newspaper
[Editor McIntosh sets forth his views
in this regard, in somewhat pietures-
|<iue language, saying, "In this day
[and time, the public official who
i learly grasps the condition which
|inakes him a servant of the people
. trifle rare. The spectacle o' an
officeholder presuming to maintain
himself as a sort of superior being,
whom the public must di homage,
[is familiar ii our country and our
day. It is refreshing to encounter
he occasional exception to the rule.”
William J. Nunn ally, of FlSyd,
Imember-e’ect of the incoming legis
lature, proposes to introduce some

Mrs. W. R. Hearst Acts as Hostess
in Rooms of New York
Municipal League.
NEW YORK, April 23.—More than
two hundred members of the Wom
an’s Political Union gathered In the
rooms of the Woman’s Municipal
League, 46 Blast Twenty-ninth Street,
to listen to Miss Fola La Follette on
the question of suffrage. Mrs. Wil
liam Randolph Hearst acted as hos
tess and served refreshments to the
assembled guests.
In introducing Miss La Follette.
Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatch Presi
dent of the Union, said:
Praises Mrs. W. R. Hearst,
“We are fortunate in having rep
resented with us to-day two of the
most important professions in the
country: Mrs. William Randolph
Hearst, cur hostess, whose influence
for good is felt in newspapers that
carry a greater conviction and influ
ence than any ever known, and Miss
La Follette, who represents the
stage, another tremendous influence
in the country'. T will not introduce
Miss La Follette to you as the daugh
ter of any Adam, but as a daughter
of Eve.”
Miss La Follette paid a high trib
ute to Mrs. Blat h as JTpioneer in the
j cause of suffrage, and then said:
Calls Suffrage Democratic.
“There is one aspect which I can
always discuss with fresh joy, and
that is the democracy of equal suf
frage. It is not a question of a
fight between man and woman, but a
movement all over the world for
equal democracy.”
She declared that about one woman
in every four is a wage earner, not
because of some abstract idea of in
dependence, but of necessity and
added:
“Just to the degree that women are
pushed into industry, Just to that de
gree are they a part of the communf-
ty and have a right to the orfly weap
on of power in that community—
the little piece of paper put in the
ballot box once a year.”
Tells of Sweatshop Horrors.
Miss La Follette spoke of tlie
sweatshops of New York and other
cities and told of the awful exam
ples of poverty she had seen.
“Out in the West a while ago,” she
more or less far-reaching hotel legis
lation in the ne::t house.
It is his intention to submit a law
requiring all hotel keepers to have
on public display at all times a plan
or map of their rooms, with the rate
asked for each, both for American
and European service. He will de
mand that these rates shall not be
changed without 60 days public no
tice.
His idea is that these regulations
would prevent the sometimes sharp
and unannounced advance in rates
occasioned by conventions and other
functions temporarily overcrowding
the cities and towns of Georgia.
Judge Nurnally also favors the ex
tension of the parole system in Geor
gia, and will warmly support the
proposition to aw’ard the family of
convicts a certain proportion of their
earnings while in the State’s cus
tody
While Judge Nunnally will be one
of the new members, he is sure to
take high rank in the house, as he
is An experienced man of affairs, and
one of Northwest Georgia’s best
known lawyers.

ticular drawing power for members

continued, “a lady told me she sym
pathized and felt sorry for such
things, but that they did not particu
larly cortcefn her, as she had ‘a fine
home and riches and a good hus
band.’ A good husband is a poor
substitute for the ballot, and I told
that woman that the conditions of
any community, whether good or bad,
must of necessity be felt by every
member in that community.”
torium Monday night failed to dis
close the presence of so many as one
representative or senator-elect, save
those of the immediate vicinity
However, they will all be here soon,
when their own big show opens up,
under the dome over on Capitol Hill.
A strong petition from the Savan
nah bar, a majority of members
signing it, has been sent to President
Wilson in behalf of Charles D Russell
for the position of assistant district
attorney. In case Senator Bacon de
cides to endorse some one outside of
Savannah for district attorney, Rus
sell's chance for an assistant’s place
would be improved. He was an ac
tive Wilson man and an effective
worker.
The news that Senator Bacon
might not press the nomination of
Joseph S. Davis, of Albany, to be
United States marshal for the
Southern district, has caused ihe talk
to start again about that ofirhe. It
Is rumored that Thomas Halligan, an
active and influential Wilson man,
may file his application for this posi
tion. Halligan is now clerk of coun
cil, and presumably would have the
endorsement of the city administra
tion, not as an administration, of
course, but as individuals.
In his youthful days, the Honorable
Joseph Mackey Brow n used to be an
adept at tripping the light fantastic
toe, and generally was more or less
in demand as a partner at terpsieho-
rean divertisements. Once upon a
time, however, he came mighty near
breaking up a fashionable soiree in
Atlanta, and some of his friends are
laughing about it yet.
Back in the ’80’s Colonel and Mrs.
Robert T. Lowry gave a big dance
one evening, and Governor Brown
was a guest. As was the custom in
those days, the carpet on the drawing
room floor was not removed for the
dancing, but canvas “crash” was
stretched tightly across it, and upon
this the dancing was done. About the
middle of the evening it was dis
covered that the “crash” was becom-
( ing covered all over with red tracks
| as though somebody with very
'muddy shoes on had walked across
it a few’ times. Investigation dis
closed the fact that Governor Brown,
in his hurry to get under way danc
ing, had forgotten to remove his rub
ber overshoes, and as the night was
rainy, he had left a red and muddy
trail everywhere he waltzed!
The Governor temporarily was
much embarrassed, but eventually he
returned to the ball room, and was,
in a way thereafter, the hero of the
evening. But he never forgot to re
move his overshoes indoors again
especially on rainy nights.

King Nicholas, at Head of Troops,
Enters Ottoman Stronghold Af

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
VIENNA, April 23.—Monte
negro will not be allowed to keep
Scutari. This is the ultimatum
of the powers. Diplomatists here
announced to-day that the de
cision of the European powers
to retain Scutari as an Albanian
city would not be altered. It is
certain that Europe’s tiniest
kingdom will continue to defy
the powers.
CETTINJE, MONTENEGRO, April
23.—King Nicholas, of Montenegro,
accompanied by Crown Prince Danjlo
and the Montenegrin staff, entered
the captured city of Scutari in
triumph to-day. ^ After a long siege,
which began October 20, when ^Mon
tenegro declared war against Tur
key, the Montenegarin-flag finally
flies over Scutari.
Three thousand Montenegrins were
killed in the final assault Tuesday,
and 5,000 Turks fell. Twenty-*wo
thousand Turkish prisoners were
taken.
Since the siege began 10,000 Monte
negrins have been killed or wounded.
The assault upon the Turkish city
was cnie of the most remarkable of
modern times. Despite the repeated
demands the European powers made
that the bombardment cease, the
Montenegrins grimly continued their
attacks upon the city, assisted in
the last few weeks by the Servians.
Servians’ Shelling Effective.
The final fall of the city chiefly is
due to the Servian artillery. The
Servians moved several batteries of
powerful siege guns to the firing line.
Alifiost continuously day and night
for fchree weeks the Servian guns kept
up a terrific fire upon the fortress
surrounding tlie city.
The Montenegrins fought with des
perate bravery. In the repeated at
tacks upon the citadel of Tarabosch,
the Montenegrin soldiers saerified
their lives with a recklessness wWch
commanded the admiration of all Eu
rope. A corps of 200 Montenegrins
climbed the steps of Tarabosch to
cut the wire fences which the Turks
had erected to impede charges. Each
soldier knew he was going to his
death, and not a man of the 200 sur
vived.
Scutari fell before a grand assault
made by the Montenegrins and their
BLEASE SCORES
BROWN FOR RIS
“Compare Number of Lynchings
in Georgia With Those in South
Carolina,” He Says.
AUGUSTA, GA„ April 23.—Gov
ernor Blease, of South Carolina, who
is in Augusta to-day en route to
Aiken to attend the South Carolina
Confederate reunion, tak^s issue with
Governor Brown on the pardon ques
tion. In discussing an interview,
given by Governor Brown to Hearst’s
Sunday American last Sunday, where
in Governor Brown took issue with
Blease’s stand on the exercise of exec
utive clemency, as published in The
American of the preceding Sunday,
Blease to-day came back with this re
joinder:
“The besf way to settle that>nat-
ter is lo compare the number of
lynchings in Georgia with ihose in
South Carolina, and also the*amount,
of lawlessness in the two States.
Georgia has eight or ten lynchings zo
South Carolina’s one.
Releases Three To-day.
“I am going to continue to exercise
the pardon and parole power when 1
see fit, and only to-day I turned loose
three. The severity of the judges in
imposing sentences is one of the rea
sons why 1 pardon or parole so many.
In our State if a man steals $20 it
is petit . larcehy, and lie gets thirty
days; if he steals $40 it is grand lar
ceny, and he gets a long sentence.
“One of the men I pardoned to-day
was a man who had stolen $40 sev
eral years ago. He was sentenced to
serve five years, and had already
served two and a half. I pardon d
him on the condition that he leave
the State, and he went to Alabama
and will live with his parents. That
man had suffered enough.
Says He’s Labor’s Friend.
“You say that the criticism comes
from Georgia that we turn loose our
criminals from the penitentiary and
they come over here. That is not iny
fault. I cannot control their move
ments after 1 turn thenvout.”
Referring to the resolution adopted
by the 'Georgia Federation of Labor
last week, commending him for not
calling out the South Carolina militia
during the Augusta-Aiken street car
strike last fall. Governor Blease said
he had received a copy of it. and had
informed the labor men that he had
been and always would be their
friend.
Wants to Protect
Perilous Crossings
Commissioner Headdcn, Cobb County,
Prepares Bill Providing for
Underpasses or Bridges.
A bill for the construction of bridges
or underpasses at all dangerous rail
road crossings in the State mAy be
introduced in the Legislature at the
next session. The measure is being
prepared by W. J. Headdcn, County
Commissioner for Cobb County.
Under the measure, tlie State Rail
road Commission would decide what
crossings are dangerous and also
what share of the expense should be
borne by the State and the railroads.
Mr. Headden admits the initial cost
of the undertaking would run into
millions, but declares the railroads
would be amply repaid byxthe relief
than balanced by the saving in human
from damage suits, and the money
spent by Uie State would be more
lives.

Statistics Show That People
Who Eat Meat Are Susceptible
to Typhoid Fever.
The death rate of Typhoid hab
been 10 per cent for many years.
Even if the patient recovers, there
is danger. Weakened constitution,
languidness, 103s of energy and
other after-effects.
In a majority of cases typhoid
fever is directly traceable to an In
active liver which has left masses of
meat particles undigested In the
alimentary canal. This mass putre
fies and sends out death-dealing
poisons, to result In typhoid fever.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is the
greatest known liver stimulant. Its
action is gentle, yet effective. It
draws water to the alimentary
tract, flushes stomach and bowels,
washes away the undigested meat
particles and removes the danger J
of fermentation. The blood is puri
fied through the renewed activity of !
the liver.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT does not ;
cause nausea and vomiting; no dan
gerous after-effects as with calo
mel. Don’t take an inferior substi
tute; many imitate the name, but
can not produce the same natural,
flushing action of the genuine JA
COBS’ LIVER SALT. At all drug
gists, 25c. If your druggist can not
