THE DEATH OF SENATOR BACON,
The death of Senator Bacon brings a distinct losj
to the state of Georgia and to the Democratic leadership
in the United States Senate. No Senator better exempli
fied the traditions of that body—none were so familiar
with its customs and precedents in the history of the
country.
As President Wilson has declared, Senator Bacon's
wide experience and as chairman of the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs has been invalnable to the Admin
istration, and his loss will be severely felt.
Georgia will be hard put to fill the place of Senator
Bacon with a representative who will so worthily wear the
senatorial toga or so faithfully live up to the duties and
responsibilities of this high offioe.
THE NEW AUGUSTA
With two office buildings going up on Broad street—
with the New Post Offioe building and a new hotel going
up near the depot—with the magnificent City Hospitals
nearing completion—with the great work of the levee
steadily being pushed to completion—with the Barge Line
to the sea getting ready to let contracts and to ensure
for all time cheap freights to this city and to this section,
and with the celebration tonight to signalise the turning
on of the power of the $2,000,000 hydro electric power
plant at Steven’s Creek just above the city, one may well
indeed get ready to welcome the New Augusta that is be
ing rapidly built by the concerted efforts of our citizens.
Already the signs are showing of the new spirit that
is animating the people of Augusta. The reorganization
of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association on prom
ises much for the future growth of the city.
Augusta is going to be a Real Estate town for the
future, instead of a stock and bond town as she has been
in the past. Much activity is to being shown in the real
estate market, and more and more dollars are going to
be spent in Augusta Real Estate in the near future.
It is the best place for home dollars and is attract
ing more and more dollars of outside capital for safe and
steady Investment.
HELP AUGUSTA GROW ought to be the slogan of
all our people. Every one can do his share and part in
this great work. What helps the community is going to
help every citizen. Work and confidence in the future is
what makes cities grow. Augusta has just begun to grow.
CRITICISMS OF THE MEXICAN POLICY.
The fundamental point of divergence between those
who uphold and those who criticise the administration's
policy with Mexico seems to be in their convictions re
garding the right of the Mexicans to struggle for consti
tutional government.
The argument of those who think the President and
State Department have made a horrid snare of the whole
affair is based always on the contention that the Mexi
cans are unfit for any bet- ter government than that
of a dictator. They desire to see order maintained in
Mexico, even though it be at the price of the develop
ment of that country into a free and self respecting
people.
For this reason they would gladly have seen this
great and honorable country give its endorsement to the
treacherous assassin, who after reaching eminence through
murder has splendidly ignored the constitutional rights of
the people of Mexico.
Because they believe the people of Mexico to be un
fit for an even running and orderly self government, they
would willingly shut them off from further struggles to
ward this end and would see these people kept in a sort
of rotting order of complete subjugation so that American
and other foreign exploiters of their land might not be
interrupted in the interesting pursuit of making fortunes.
We do not know that any people are ’•fitted" for
self government, if by being fitted for self government is
meant the abilty to run along with rubber tired smooth
ness. Our progress in this country is not without its
disorders and we can scarcely hope to see Mexico
govern itself in a way which will give pleasure and sat
isfaction to those who go there to make money and are
in no humor to concern themselves with the rights and
wrongs of the people among whom they settle.
Nevertheless, as the people of Mexico have an idea
that thev want to govern themselves, and as thov

gone to far as to eitablitb a constitutional form of gov
ernment, it certainly does seem that they can only become
fitted for it by keeping on trying for it. •
Gcrtainly the United States of America should exert
whatever influence It does exert in favor of Justice and
constitutional law, for certainly this country’s position in
sustaining the rule of a dictator who has won his place
by foul means would be a most ignominous and un
worthy one,
Wc do not, however, see that any very grave situa
tion confronts us. The constitutionalists are now getting
more equal chances and the downfall of Huerta is to be
expected, though it may not come quickly enough to sat
isfy impatient onlookers. It is always possible that in
tervention may become imperative, but so far as it is pos
sible to see ahead and to know present conditions, there
does not at this time seem to be any particular excuse
for discussing it.

London. —Many of her old literary
and theatrical friends will be painfully
surprised today to learn that Miss Ka
tie Reade, the adopted daughter of
Charles Reade, the famous novelist, is
at present an Inmate of Sunbrldge
“Workhouse Infirmary, near Revenoaks,
completely destitute and penniless.
Katie, was the wife of John L. Shine,
the actor, whom she divorced
‘T am Charles Reade’s great niece,"
she told an interviewer today, “and he
adopted me as his daughter when I was
quite a little tot? ,
"When quite a small ajiild I used to
sit nnder his desk while he was en
gaged in writing his most famous
works. He would write from early
morning until about 12:30, when he
would Jump up and say Now Froggle,
(his pet name for me) let’s out and
play.’ Then he would carry me out
through the French windows leading
to the garden which overlooked Hyde
Park, and for an hour we would play
battledore and shuttlecock, or else he
would Join me In shipping or some
other childish game.
She married her husband in defiance
of her foster-father's wishes, saw lit
tle of Charles Reade afterwarls, and
at his death was not even remember

SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
VETERANS MET SUNDAY
Tto regular monthly meeting of
Arcme Butt Camp, United
American War Veterans, wag held at
3 o’clock yesterday afternoon at the
Knights of Pythias Hall. The Past
Commander's Jewel was .presented to
Past Commander Charles Sanchen.
The presentation speech was made
by the commander of the camp. Col.
Claude E. Sawyer, of Aiken, S’. C.
There was very good attendance.
After a few applications for member
ship were considered the meeting ad
journed.
THE BIJOU
There 1s not a dull minute In "The
Ci>baret Girls." which Is being pre
sented by a strong company of per
formers at the Bijou the first part of
the week.
The show Is Just deliciously refresh
ing and is brimful of tuneful music
and catchy dancing.
To begin with, the company has
some splendid feminine voices and
their selections are greatly enjoyed.
It is not a one man or a one woman
show. No one Is the whole show but
everyone In It contributes some thing
to the enjoyment. That Is something
thi\t distinguishes the company from
most other ’tab' shows.
The leading soubrette has an unusu
ally good voter. A pretty little blonde,
she has a voice that gives promise ot
splendid accomplishments in the vau
deville line, .as she has splendid
range.
Some enjoyable freak dancing Is
presented as well as some of the old
line stunts.
The tittle brunette's rendition of
Helkie is excellently done and in fact
her other songs are well received. The
quartette and quintette work Is also
unusually good.
The comedy is also up to the stand
ard, a silent impersonation of a draw
poker game in Which one of the come
dians tries to make the other one "lay
down" a "pat" hand with two deuces
is well done.
The special scenery and costumes
carried by the company adds to the
general effect very much. The com
pany Is one that deserves a splendid
attendance as all are entertainers of
first class ahllttv. |
