Charged With Abuse of Poles

fresh from their homes across the
sea and ignorant of conditions In
this country. have stirred up a storm
OF Indignation in Georgia against the
alleged tnhuman methods of a New
York employment agency, says an
Atlanta special.
Alleging gross Misrepresentation
OF conditions under which they were
to labor at Nackson, Ga, whence they
were sent by the employment agency,
compelled to work out their transpor-
tation. offered wages less than the
$3.50 day promised, given nothing
but crackers to eat, and finally club
bed and otherwise mfstreated by arm
ed guards when they rebelled against
the treatment. the men have appealed
to the Federal authorities for protec-
ton. They claim that after being
beaten by the guards, they were told
they would have to pay the bills for
the medical services necessitated by
the wounds inflicted.
The Poles left the construction at
night In small squads. making their
way afoot to Atlanta and other Geor-
gia cities. and have been given en-
pEoyment upon public works until
they can secure the necessary money
to defray their transportation TO
Washington, where they plan to lay
their grievances before President
Taft and the Immigration Committee.
1t is not unlikely that the Federal
grand Jury Will be asked to make a
thorough investigation OF the charges
of the Poles.

OPPOSITION TO

DIR. Geo. w. Mcdaniel Makes Re-
ply to Objections Raised to
AUTHORIZATION.

Opposition has Unexpectedly sprung
up to the measure providing for State
aid for the proposed home for way

ton Williams viii tight the bill on the
ground that II is unconstitutional.
Rev. DR.. Geo. w. Mcdaniel. of this
city who is deeply interested in the
subject. was asked for his opinion
Monday. and to a representative Of
the Virginlan. said:
THE opponents of the bill appro-
priating fifty cents per capita, per
day. with maximum not exceeding
$4,000 per year. for the Virginia
Home and Training School for Girls
admit the equity OF the claim. They
doubt its constitutionality and the
ability of the State In view of its
present financial condition to make
the appropriation. The appropriation
Is not asked for under the section of
the constitution covering educational
institutions The institution is in fact
a reformitory. The law permitting the
appropriation Is in section 81 of the
constitution. which permits the Gem
era ASSEMBLY 'in its discretion to
make appropriations OF non sectarian
institutions Tor the reform of youthful
criminals. AS TO the States ability to
make the appropriation, claim that 1t
is public economy. The home viii be
established by private subscriptions
and the State thereby saved the
amount which IL would have to ex-
pend in founding the home There are
now three hundred girls in Virginia,
according to an authoritative estimate
that ugoft TO be in a reformitary,-A
bad girl is worse than bay boy and
one can scarcely estimate the evil
which she Will do. II behooyes the
State for the best interest of all the
people to put such girls under proper

boys surely it can easily give a ma XII

Bill Comes From Newport News
Where Theatre Going Public
Has Been Much Prosecuted.

No more shall the dainty vaudeville
actress pause in her dance to take a
crack at the baid-headed man in the
parqlette: no more shall she hail with
delight the big nose of the man In the
dress circle; no more shall She i'm
proyise special songs dedicated to him
OF the carrot colored hair occupying
conspicuous seat in the third row
no more shall any of these be done,
for bill has been drawn, and, by
special request, introduced in the
House of Delegates of Virginia by
Colonel l.. p. Stearnes. of Newport
News, making such offense punish
able by fine of from 500 to S20o,
and falling to pay such penalty the
actress Is to be hauled to JAIL where
for many days she will be forced to
sit behind iron bars and eat bacon
and beans and weep.
Accompanied by letter this bill was
received by Mr.. Stearnes-It came
from Newport News, where 1t is re-
lated, there are many red heads,
many fat men, many bald-headed
men. and they are all tormented by
sharp-wttted actresses who sing the
most laughable songs about them.
Sang u Song To Him.
The climax was reached a few
HiSutS ago. however, when a certain
very dignified citizen carried his red
head into one of the theatres intent
on an hours recreation. He knew
his hair was red. He had known II
all his life. He would never forget
it. Many times his friends had men-
toned its peculiar tint. and really
he was bashful about 1t. He was
called the Bashful One by several
of his contemporary red heads. In
other words, he was sore, dead sore.
Scarcely had he seated himself
comfortably In the body OF the house
so history relates. before witching
little lady in spangied tights skipped
to the footlights and took a decided
crack at a certain bald-headed indi-
vidual in the gallery.
Then-horrors! The great search
light was focused on the brilliant
mop of the Bashful One, the little
actress laughed gleefnily. perched
herself on one toe. pointed out her
dainty finger, and s,arbIed forth this
touching ditty:
Il see man right over there.
He has ii red face, and he has red
hair;

He might be fat, but he is too thin"

The Stew.

From the Columbus Journal
We propose to help along the idea that
the cheap cuts Of meat are the thing to
buy, and 50 copy this from Miss Emma
Sickel's lecture at Chicago:
A knowledge Of the proper method Of
cooking albumens would teach the house
wife to cook the stew In water a little
less than boiling. which would produce a
juicy, tender dish, as palatable as the
incest porterhouse and mushrooms. This
same stew embellished with two cloves
for each five pounds Of meat. one bay leaf
and few dried celery tops will put an
end to a husbands daily demand for the
choicest cuts Of meat.
The lecturer said in preparing a stew
don't pour boiling water over the meat or
cook 1t in boiling water. We note the OBJ
ject Of all this careful instruction is to
put an end to the husbands demands
for sirioin and porterhouse. There is
something very sly about this wifely in
terest in the husband. for If he wanted
the dear outs and was willing to pay for
them. what Is the use Of pokinE around a
simmsring stow? Tho fact Is, the stow
properly regulated and lovingly tinged
with q Glove or q bay leaf Is q delightful
morsel for an amiaLie evening meal, and
makes one forget the roasts and broils.

SATISFIED WITH TAFT
SENATOR WARREN SAYS THE
WEST ADMIRES PRESIDENT.
Praises Tariff Law and Declares It
Will Be Receiving General In
dorsement Soon.

when election time comes President
Taft will be more firmly established than
ever in the confidence of the people and
the admirable workings of the new tariff
law will be generally admitted"
This is the prediction of Senator War
rem Of Wyoming. who has just returned
to Washington from trip to the west,
during which he made inquiries among
republicans as to their feeling toward the
administration.
"Out in my section the people are thor
oughly satisfied with President Taft
Senator Warren says. "They regard him
as a safe and conscientious President,
who has the interests of the people upper
most in his mind. He is constantly add
ing to the number OF his friends"
Says Tariff Law Works Well.
Senator Warren, in answer to ques-
ton. declared that the tariff law was
generally satisfactory.
1--WE must remember that no tariff bill
ever was enacted which pleased every
body. If individual opinions were to be
consulted. a tariff bill would have a
million different schedules. Consequently,
after the passage of a new tariff law we
are bound to encounter fault-f1nding.
THE fact is. however, that this new
tariff bill is producing a greatly increased
revenue and is cutting down the federal
deficit. In addition to this the percent
age of goods coming in under the free
list is larger today than ever before, ex-
cept under the Wilson-Gorman law. The
new law, therefore, is accomplishing two
things.
ut is giving the people smaller per-
centage of taxable articles and is increas-
ing the revenue, and these great results
are being reached without detriment to
the capital which has been invested in
American manufactures. People In the
west are beginning to realize the new
tariff law was framed with wisdom, and
as this feeling becomes more and more
universal. as will be the case. we will
find the people everywhere indorsing the
new law
