Why Baldwin Dropped Suit
Against Roosevelt.

New York, Jan. 26-The Outlook
will publish this week the letter Of
Theodore Roosevelt to Governor Bald
win, of Connecticut, on the strength
of which the governor receded from his
announced purpose of bringing a suit
for libel against the colonel In the
last campaign Col Roosevelt attacked
Governor Baldwin for a decision in n
labor case. After the election Cover
nor Baldwin wrote to Mr. Roosevelt
suggesting that they settle their differ
ences without the publicity incident 70
an action at law, submitting the ques-
ton at issue to some Judge or lawyer.
Mr.. Roosevelt declined. Governor
Baldwin then submitted what he con-
sidered a satisfactory apology. The
colonel rejected it, submitting
counter proposal, which in turn the
governor rejected. Then followed the
letter shortly TO be published on re-
Celpl OI WHICH GONGTuOT IdlQWlu all
nounced that, although he still held
that there was an issue as to the
facts and the law, he had become con-
vinced of the sincerity of Col. Roose-
velt, and would not proceed against
him
'If the letters which I sent to you"
wrote the colonel, and in which I
quoted your exact language and ad-
ded my comments are libellous, then
every labor leader who ventures to agi-
tate for reform in accident law is also
in danger of libel and every man who
in an efficient and effective instead of
half hearted fashion agitates for re-
form will be in a very real danger ii
a libel suit, provided the interest at
tackled is sufficiently powerful to un-
dertake the suit

ical opponents may make such capital
out Of it as they choose"

Col. Daily Announces That
Teddy Told Him So.

New York, Jan. 26-All doubt that
Col Theodore Roosevelt has determin-
ed on having Taft renominated for
president was removed when Col
Michael J. DAILY, of Brooklyn, repub-
l;csu state committeeman, was moved
to tell all. He revealed the truth III
a speech to his fellow members of the
First District Republican club.

Roosevelt is for Taft in 1912
The colonel was asked how the in-
side facts had been barred to him.
Col. Roosevelt told me so himself,
he said.
Atler hearing this, Brooklyn republi-
cans who had been trying to guess the
purposes of the new National Pro
gressiye Republican League accepted
it as a movement to boom Taft for a
second term.

TO renew The
GREAT SEAL
OF GEORGIA
Will Once More Have Clean
Cut Impression.
Justice Lamar Removes the Trouble
Under Which Sect. Of State Cooks
Mind Seemed to Be LdbOring-.-Leg-
iSIdtuFG Will Authorize 1t.

ATLANTA, Ga, January 26.-It re-
manned for Joseph R. Lamar, of Au-
gusta, now associate justice of the
United States Supreme court, to point
out to Secretary of State Phil Cook
a precedent whereby he might Sc
cure a renewal of the life of the great
seal of state.
Some time ago a newspaper cores
pendent here sent out a story calling
attention to the fact that the great seal
had worn so smooth with the constant
use of more than a century that it was
practically ilIegible In the same con-
nection attention was called to the
fact that the secretary and no one
else had been able to find any author
iity for securing a new seal or having
the old one re-engrayed, it having
been ascertained that this process
would make it good as new.
Justice Lamar read this story with
interest, and his wonderful mind re-
called having seen somewhere some
1 thing relative to the matter. He f.
nally located in the acts of the legisla-
ture OF 1868 a resolution, passed by
both branches, empowering the secre-
tary Of state to have the seal mace
perfect For some reason that off
cial did not do so and the matter
drifted on without any action ever hay-
i%g been taken.
But it remained for Justice Lamar
to point the way to have the trouble
remedied Secretary Cooks efforts for
some years to get either the legisIa-
/ ture or the governors to authorize
him 10 have the work done, have prov
en- unavailing. Everybody seemed
afraid to monkey with anything so sa-
cred as the great seal of the state. But
with this precedent of 1858 in eXis-
tenCe, Secretary Cook will go before
the next legislature and ask for the
passing Of a similar resolution. With
this precedent before them, the law
makers will not be so shy now. So
/ before the year is out Georgia's old
seal will probably be made as new and
Cleal -cut as when it was first turned
out by the engraver more than a cen
tuTy ago.
4 am certainly due thanks TO the
papers for printing that story, because
it called the matter to the attention
of Justice Lamar, and he gave up the
clue by which the trouble may be rem
odied, said Secretary Cook
