THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1913. ‘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 606 SALVARSAN 914 Neo Salvarsan The two celebrated German preparations that have cured per manently more cases of syphillis or blood poison in the last two years than has been cured In the history of the world up to the time of this wonderful discovery.

North Broad St„ Atlanta, <5*. Opposite Third National Bank. 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.

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.

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.
