LSON AND ROOSEVELT.

The fact that Roosevelt is seeking and may
cure, the Republican nomination for 1912 makes 1t
especially advisable that the Democrats choose, as
their standard bearer, Woodrow Wilson. OF all the
candidates in the field, he is best fitted both by the
popular confidence he inspires and the sound policies
he represents to oppose and to defeat such man as
Theodore Roosevelt
Governor Wilson is an exponent of all the truly
progressive principles for which Roosevelt is sup
posed to stand; at the same time he is stanch de-
fender Of constitutional government and of states
rights, both of which Roosevelt would destroy. He
represents the antthesis of Roosevelts autocrat1c
and destructive course just he represents the an
tithess Of Tafts lethargic and reactionary record
Under his leadership, the country would turn to the
Democratic party for relief from the ills it now suf
fers also for protection against those which four
years more of Roosevelt would entail
Governor Wilson's peculiar fitness in this con-
nection forcefuy expressed in an interview with
Senator Gardener, of Maine, which appeared in Mon
days Journal. Senator Gardener is the second Dem
ocrat ever elected by Maine to the United States
senate He is particularly keen observer of polit-
ical conditions in his state and the country over
He speaks advisedly when he declares:
"If the Republicans nominate a Progressive like
Colonel Roosevelt and the Democrats nominate Rep
resentatiUe oscar Underwood or Speaker Clark, or
Governor Harmon Roosevelt t0iH haze every chance
to Sl0eep the country overwhelmingly"
This opinion is all the weightier because as Sen
ator Gardener declares he has high personal admira-
ton for Mr. Underwood and Mr.. Clark, but this does
not prevent him from seeing that neither of them
stands before the people OF the entire nation with
such strength and such power to lead does Wood
row Wilson 1t is because he is broadly representa-
tive Of the best thought and the deepest political
ideals of the American people whole that Gov
Wilson is Democracys most advisable candi-
date.
AS recent events have shown, Governor Wilson
has large and enthusiastic following in the west,
where Roosevelt is supposed to be strongest His
substantial and progressive record as governor of
New Jersey is well known beyond the Mississippi
as in the east or the south The fact is, Woodrow
Wilson has done for really popular government
and the square deal during his first year chief
executive of New Jersey than Roosevelt accomplished
during his two terms in the presidency.
Regardless of whom the Republicans may nomi-
nate Woodrow Wilson is the logical Democratic
leader in the approaching campaign. Whether he OPP
poses Taft and high tariff Roosevelt and the New
Nationalism he is competent in every to lead
the party to victory.

MOTHER SUICIDE

If felt any uneasiness about writ
ing on mother suicide (as distinguished
from race suicide) some weeks ago,
the letters I get from appreciative
mothers would convince me that the
subject is a live wire.
/ have a letter in my hand from a
woman who has borne nine children and
expects to become the mother of anoth-
err one Her youngest is now five
months old, has cut no teeth yet, and
a hot summer IS to be dreaded for the
child. She has had to wean two others
at eight months old, and one of the two
died with cholera infantum. The other
child came very near dying after strug-
Cling through the hot weather.
She says her heart fails her to look
ahead, under these conditions, and she
thinks race suicide Cor fewer children)
would be much better than this con-
tinued struggle with difficulty and dam
ger to both the born and unborn, not
to mention the mothers inability to do
justice to herself or the children she
brings into the world.
I know this is a delicate subject and
there are many and diverse views on
the question of collaborating, but pub
lie thought is being awakened on the
subject, and you must arouse public
opinion, agitate and discuss vital ques-
lions to make an impression or work
any reform.
I trust nobody will be unjust enough
to say that infanticide is even sug
gested by my attention to this subject.
1 abhor such violence as much as any
one, but do say there should be some
relief given to suffering women and
their enfeebled Offspring.
The world is filling up rapidly with
ailing women. A feeble exhausted
mother cannot piUa vipOr n child
because she has none to give the in
FAINT. As 1 look on this subject, 1 have
the opinion there is entirely too much
mother suicide.
1t is evident that the race of man
kind will decrease in physical vigOr
and size If the mothers are not kept up
to the maximum in health and endur-

friends of the successful candidate and the conven
ton will elect the delegation.
Or the successful candidate may himself or
through designated friends appoint the delegates to
the National convention.
Under either plan the delegates thus selected
would go instructed to vote for that candidate who
was the choice of the people in the primary. We
presume that these instructions would be binding
upon the delegation as long as in the opinion of
majority there any chance to secure the nomna-
ton of the candidate for whom the state had voted
Whenever majority of the delegation determined that
all opportunity for nominating the candidates whom
they were supporting was gone, then doubtless the
delegation would be free to vote their personal
preferences.
These are matters, of course, to be regulated by
the state Democratic executive committee. The
mittee will probably convene in few weeks for the
purpose of ordering the primary and the details of
this primary we'll plan of selecting the deega
ton to the National convention matters of inn
portance which it viii be necessary for the committee
to consider
There is no occasion for discord in Georgia this
year, particularly the presidential nominee.
There is opportunity to elect a southern man; we
should concentrate our strength and harmonic
differences so to give the greatest moral support
the candidate of the peoples choice If the of
choice cannot be nominated it is quite possible
that another southern can be nominated by har-
monious action the part of the southern delegation
The Journal prefers Governor Wilson to all of the
candidates that have been named. IT, however, Gov
ernor Wilson cannot be nominated, perhaps Mr.. I'm
derwood Mr.. Clark If of these southern
men can be nominated, Mr.. Harmon can.
We believe that Georgia and every other southern
state should send solid delegations to the National
convention instructed for Governor Wilson because
he is clearly the most available candidate that we
have and because he is probably the only candidate
whom we could elect
The presidential primary in which the people di-
recty express their choice and by whose action the
delegation is named by of the plans sug-
gested instructed to carry out their choice is of the
very essence Of pure Democracy.

THE INDUSTRIAL BUREAU

One of the most timely and promising move
ments yet undertaken for Atanta's development
is the Industrial Bureau planned by the Chamoer
of Commerce. It's purpose is to encourage the
manufactures already established and to open
way for the introduction of new plants.
The distinctive feature of this particular ef-
fort the fact that it will be pressed along thor
oughly definite and systematic lines Few, If any,
cities offer richer natural advantages to manutac-
turing interests than does Atlanta and the Cham
Der Of Commerce has heretofore done good work in
exploiting this fact. There has not however,
been a Sufficiently we'll organized and aggressive
movement to attract and compel the notice of the
country at large.
The Industrial Bureau now projected will, for
one thing, gather complete and precise statistics
concerning the ctys inducements to investors and
will give this data the widest possible publicity.
That alone will mean vast deal, for capital will
not respond to mere hearsay or enthusiastic APP
peals A man with money to invest in a manu-
featuring enter rise must be shown definitely
wherein a particular location will prove advanta-
geous It matters not how fertile the citys re-
sources in this particular, they will not arouse due
interest until they presented in exact and au-
thentic form.
In addition to compiling such information, the
Industrial Bureau will keep vigilant outlook over
the manufacturing field and will be ready to turn
opportunities to practical account. If particular
concern is contemplating a change of location, the
bureau will set vigorously forth to bring it to At
lanta. 1t will have specific inducements to offer
and according to a corollary plan suggested, if not
yet perfected f. will, under certain conditions, aid
the particular in re-establishing itself and

THE VALUE OF CHARACTER AND

lI1E NALOE OE OI1<AIN<AOI AMI
ITS BESETTING DANGERS
AS my journey of life has perhaps
been longer than many OF those who
read these lines, my long experience and
observation should give me vision clear
enough to tell younger people of what
has been taught me by these valuable
aids to a clear understanding. There
are some few things that stand out in
such bold relief that 1 will notice them
because of their prominence and author
ity.
First-The habit Of liquor drinking
will grow until it will absorb all the
valuable qualities of either men or
women, and it will lead into tempta-
lions that eventually will destroy char
acter. 1 have watched it's effect for
long time. 1t becomes the open door to
every sin in the calendar. Why? Be-
cause it makes the drinker insane for
the time being An irrational being
cannot be trusted to preserve anything
that has value. For this reason rail-
roads will fire a drunken engineer and
bank will dismiss a clerk that tipples.
These drinking men cannot be trusted
in places where either risk or tempta-
ton may bring all concerned to grief
and disaster
Second-While dancing is very fasci-
mating and in itself harmless, dance
halls and promiscuous dancing parties
are dangerous and alluring to weak
minds and unstable principles. For
more than a half-century the orthodox
churches of our country have discounte-
nanced dancing frolics, as well as gam
bling places, but there seems to be a
reactionary wave which is flooding the
country with both of them at this writ
ing Card parties are almoste universal
with society people of the present day.
Young children are going to take on
the gambling mania as a duck takes to
water, because they see card playing in
the homes of their parents.
Tfird-The increase of the drink hab-
It has kept pace with the gambling hab-
1T, and when young men flock TO dance
halls and pool rooms the liquor habit
will be there to greet them. 1t has
never yet failed to lend it's help to the
breaking down of character in loose as
semblies.
Because of these facts. that 1 know
to be truthfully presented, plead with
the sober people of this present time to
consider what is going on, and what
the end will be. Some things have come
to my ears lately that convince me that
the liquor habit, the dance habit, and
the card-playing habit have altogether
assumed such proportions to warrant
me in asking all parents and guardians
to look about them and to find out
where their own offsprings are, in the
evenings
Character once destroyed can never
be re-established. God may forgive and
heart-broken parents may still protect
~ and shelter the erring one, but the fact
remains, the jewel is lost, and lost for
ever

ance In the days when domestic work
was close and compelling the women
were obliged to take exercise and keep
regular hours. They were warmly clad
