Former President Theodore Rooseveit
has announced in a letter to seven Re- l
publican Governors that he will accept !
the Republican nomination for presi- |
dent ‘if it i t>nderea’” him. It is not
generally believed that Roosevelt can
override the republican machine and |
win the nomination, but it seems to he'!

In the cour-e of his sjeech Col. i
Roosevelt said : |
“‘My position is simp'e Itis, that if
the people knew envugh to make the
constitution, they knew enough in the
last regort, to cay what it was that
they meant when they made it.”

““My proposal applies only to the legis

constitutional. I refer specificaly to laws
in the collective interests of tKe whole
community, passed by the legislative
body, in the exercise of the power to
promote the general welfare, in the ex

‘“lt has been stated that this will‘
substitute popular whim, the whim of

My propo-al i< that then, if the court |

MR. ED HIRSCH
DIES IN ATLANTA.
Mr. Ed. Hirsch died last Friday in
Atlanta, after a long illness, and was

former merchant of Marietta, and a
nephew of Mrs. B. Schoenthal. He was
‘born here, but had lived in Atlanta
‘about twenty years. He was a Knight

BRYAN COMMENTS ON

-~ ROOSEVELT'S ACTION
Says. His Candidacy Was
Foreshadowed at Co
| lumbus, Obhio.
~ Ogden, Utah, February 26.—William
J. Bryan commenting on Theodore
‘Roosevelt’s declaration of his candida
¢y, said today:
‘“The announcement of Mr. Rodse
velt’s candidacy for president is news
that is news, except it was foreshadow
ed by his speech at Columbus, Ohio,
and by an Outlook editorial on a third
cup of coffee.’”’
Mr. Bryan added that it would be an
!interesting fight which the democrats
would watch intently.
Mr. Bryan said he would ‘like to
know why Mr. Roosevelt should be
called back into the ring after he left
(it to give place to Mr. Taft. It would
seem that Mr. Taft has thrown the re
lpublican party into political bankrupt
cy, and Mr. Roosevelt is being cailed
back in an effort to make good the
mistakes of the man he selected as his
SUCCessor.
*‘Surely Mr. Taft could not have re
ceived the nomination for the presiden
cy had it not been for Mr. Roosevelt
four years ago, and he could not have
been elected had it not been for the
help of Mr. Roosevelt.
““There is much humor in the situa
tion for the democrats. The republicans
have long watched wlth pleasure, our
internal controversies, and now we are
watching with considerable interest the
troubles within their own ranks.

HAVERTY AIDS |
STRICKEN HOMES
Houston, Texas, February 26.—J. J.
Haverty, President of the chain of
Haverty stores scattered throughout
the southern states and one of which is
located in Houston, is at present a vis
itor to the city.
Mr. Haverty's visit has been result
ful of his announcing that all homes
demoiished by fire containing furniture
secured from his store, and on which
all deferred payments yet to mature
would be cancelled. ‘
When it is considered that there are
between one and two hundred such out
standing accounts it will be readily ap
preciated that this is quite an unusual
and magnanimous concession, and one
for which the city, as a whole, should be
deeply grateful.
ROAD BUILT ACROSS
COUNTY IN ONE DAY.
In Lincoln county, Oklahoma, recent
ly, a road 33 miles long was built in
one day of eight hours. Several weeks
had been devoted to preparations for
the actual building in which 3,000 men
and 2,000 teams took part. Business
was suspended in the county seat and
men of all professions reported for
work. The ladies met along the road
side at noon and served a dinner that
included pots of hot coffee at frequent
intervals. Capable bosses were in
charge and the construction was fin
ished on time. It was a perfect picnic
for the entire county and proves the
value of organization and co-operation.

COUNCIL WILL PASS

b ———
EAT REGULAR MEETING
‘ ON MONDAY NIGHT.
|Gas Franchise and Schoet
g Bond Issue to be
| Passed Upon.
! e
| Two matters of great importance will
[ come before the regular meeting of the
anyur and Council next Monday
!night. The application for an elec
!tinn to pass upon the $20,000 bond
|issue for a new school building and
ithe guestion of granting a franchise
(for a gas plant in Marietta will be
| decided.
l The new school building is needed
tand it is likely that the election will
| be called but the matter of .a gas fran
ichise has been found a hard one for
lthe ordinance committee which has
it in charge. The advigability of
!gmntinu the franchise has been thor
roughly gone into but it is not known
;'what recommendation will be made
(to council. The g« plant would be a
!gumi thing and a valuable asset to the
icity as a drawing card for population
I'but it is feared that it would interfere
| with the new municipal electric light
:plant to the extent of makingiit an
lunprotfitable investment for the city.
}Thifl is the only objection to granting
"the franchise that has been advanced
| which is worthy of consideration and
!if it is found that the gas plant wiil
not materlally affect the electric light
' plant it is probable that the franchise
iwill be granted.
