GROOMING ROOSEVELT
FOR OWN SUCCESSOR
Three Arguments Advanced
For Such Course.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 3D.
Especially Slowly, but surely, the
light is penetrating the fog which
for many months has enveloped the
Republican Presidential situation, and
reveals what appear to be the definite
outlines of plan to make President
Roosevelt his own successor. Like
anything devised by human agency, it
may prove abortive, but just at pres
ent it is developing in such way that
those standing sponsors for it be-
1ieve it will materalize successfully.
One reason for their optimism lis that
they are confident they have attain
ed the first object essential to their
ends, and that is silence on the part
of the President on the subject of
another nomination.

Will Maintain Silence

1t was reported last night upon
authority too closely traceable to the
White House to be impugned, that the
President is going to disappoint the
people who have been anticipating an
announcement similar to the one he
voluntarily made on the night of his
election, in November, 1904.
Whether the President will prove
responsive to the third term senti-
ment is another matter, however. He
has yet to indicate in manner which
is incapable of misinterpretation that
he will be persuaded into yielding to
it. Nevertheless, the tempter is at
work on him, though he would be the
first, perhaps, to resent the intima-
ton that he was not absolutely sim
cere in his declaration of three
years ago. Mr. Roosevelt was in dead
earnest when he handed out to a
group of newspaper correspondents
on the night of his election a state
ment that under no circumstances
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-11-14
would be be a candidate again or ac-
cew nomination.
Three Reasons

Arguments adroitly constructed and
foreful in their al1urement are adj
vanced with the view OF impelling
him to reconsider. These are the
paramount reasons presented:
]. His election is absolutely es-
sentia1 IN the consummation of his
policies, and consequently, to the well
fare of the nation.
2. His denomination is vital to Re-
publican success at the election in
November, 1908.
8. His election would assuredly
break the solid South and result in
building up the Republican party in
responsibility and yigor.
These arguments, in fact consti-
tute the platform of the men behind
the movement to force the Presidents
nomination; not the men who are
shouting third term from the house
tops, but those who are in a position
to deliver goods at a convention, and
have been obstructing the progress
of other Presidential booms, includ-
ing Secretary Taft's-

Industries ON Southern

That the territory adjacent to the
Southern Railway and Mobile IL ONO
Railroad is not only maintaining its
splendid industrial growth but is
making new records along manufac-
turing Tines is again shown through
the figures compiled by the Land and
Industrial Department of these lines
and which appear in its recent an
nual report, covering the fiscal year
ending June 30. The statistics tell a
most interesting story and are re-
markable tributes to the enterprising
forces working continually for the
development of important resources
and the growth and progress of a
section having many and diversified
interests.
The report shows that 989 new in
dustries, with a capital of $54,726,0O0
were completed and put into opera
Ition in the territory tributary to the
Southern Railway and Mobile &
Ohio Railroad during the twelve
months ending June Both, gain Of
many millions of capital over the pre-
vious year. In addition 220 industries
made important additions to their
plants materially increasing their
facilities at an investment of 81 3d.
300, and 80 industries, with a capital
of $7,120,500, were reported as under
construction. These figures show
the investment during the year of the
great sum of $73,286,800 in industries.
IN addition to this there was ex-
pended for general investments in
cities and towns, such as buildings,
street improvements, street rail-
ways, water and light plants $58 $780,

Inception of Disease

A sailor crossing the Bay of San
Francisco May q last, on a crowded
ferryboat was suddenly overcome
with bubonic plague He was re-
moved to the United States Marine
Hospital, where his disease was inn
mediately recognized. No other case
appeared in month and half and
then on Aug. IL, case occurred IN
the Latin quarter of San Francisco
The patient was removed to the City
and County Hospital and was placed
among the ordinary fever patients,
his case having been improperly dag
nosed or the danger from infection
moderated On August 20, the usual
length of time for incubation having
interviewed, five cases of the plague
broke out in the hospital. Two men
attendants, a woman nurse and the
house doctor, all contracted the dis
ease. The men attendants died within
the next four days.
Within the following month thir-
ty-seven cases occurred, and the dis
ease increased with such virulence
that it looked for time as if the
city were to be decimated as was medi-
aeval Europe The newspapers said
little about it, but it became generally
known nevertheless that the plague
was walking the streets. People here,
however, had become so hardened to
sensation, to murder, fire and sudden
death, in the last year and a half,
. that they went on their gay way,
knowing that there was no use to
worry. AS an enemy it walked in

Death Comes Quickly

Plague gives it's victim little
chance after its period of incubation
The first sign of the disease shows
within seven days after incubation
then it comes suddenly, with pains
in the back and head, a fever of 1884,
and in many cases only few hours
to live. That is what has given it a
reputation for horror. Physicians
here have been able to cure most
of the cases, but very few more than
a majority.
The history of the plague when it
was in San Francisco before shows
the difficulty in getting rid of it. 1t
appeared among the Chinese in
March, 1900, and was finally complete
ly stamped out in February, 1904.
During that time it was among the
Chinese only, with the exception OF
one or two cases in the immediate
neighborhood There were 122 cases
cases in all. In 1903 it because UNI
usually virulent and the city, State
and Federal authorities combined, as
now, to eradicate it. The campaign
was directed solely against the rats.
Every building in China town was
made rat proof by tearing out the
floors and cementing the Easements
no place was left for them to get in.
They always enter a building by bur-
rowing. Houses with cement base
ments in consequence never have
rats. BY poisoning the rats them
selves at the same time, the city got
rid of the plague at that time, al
though it was then in the heart of a
thickly populated portion of the
city. With the city scattered it will
be a different kind of task.

KILLING RATS TO

Terrible BubOniC Plague
Started There.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov 10
(SpeciaD This city is just emerging
from the shadow of the terrible bu-
bonic plague. The horror of it is
passing, but people are still badly
frightened.
Rats are the spreaders of the dis
ease and against the rodents a war

With San Francisco half-built, this
is no easy task. They run abroad at
night and scatter throughout the
city. In their bodies and in the fleas
they carry on their backs is the pla-

the plague will not be thoroughly era
dicated until every rat in San Fran

INVOKING THE "REcALL."

That is a curious spectacle that
Fort Worth presents for public con-
temptation. The police commissioner,
George Mulkey, an honest, upright,
christian gentleman, has been petit
toned by some 1,200 voters to resign.
Mr.. Mulkey's offending lies in the
fact that he has placed famous HelPs
Half Acre under the ban of the law
and there seems to be an element OF
Fort Worth's population that doesn't
like it. Some men of responsibility
have signed the petition because they
believe that a ''wide-open town
makes for business prosperity and
that certain laws ought to be winked
at in order that prosperity may not
be interrupted.
Anybody acquainted with Fort
Worth-even the most liberal minded
can tell the people of that thriving
CITY that Hell's Half Acre has never
contributed to their prosperity. 1t
has done everything else, however, ex-
scent that. It has produced murder,
rape, arson, burglary and every coli
ceivable vice that ever planted its
hideous outline in the pathway of civ
ilization and righteousness. To wipe
it out and dedicate its blackened area
to honest industry and legitimate
commerce were an objective which
might well challenge the efforts of so
splendid a gentleman as George Null
key.
OF course, the people of Fort Worth
do not want Mulkey to resign, aud he
will not resign. Under the terms OF
Fort Worth's new charter, however, ii
becomes the duty of the city council
to call an election for his successor.
Herein we have a practical illustra-
ton of the recall" principal which
has found its way into some of our
municipal systems. Twenty per cent
of the voters have the right to order
an election to put out of office man
whose offense is discharging his duty |
The other eighty per cent may only
wait until the election and then pro- |
coed to vindicate Fort WOrth's good |
name, as they will certainly do But |
the same 20 per cent may again force |
an election and keep the city in tur-
moil indefinitely.
The Fort Worth council should not |
hesitate to call this election, however, |
for the opportunity to proclaim to the |
world that the city does not subordi- |
nate its moral welfare to purely mer- |
cenary considerations should not go |
by default. The election will entail |
considerable expense-and to many 1t |
will seem unnecessary-but IL will |
be worth the money to Fort Worth. |
