Former Vice President Fairbanks was
given the first ovation as he entered
the hall
1t was 1925 O'Clock before the first
feeble cheer for any candidate was
given. The demonstration was so fee
BILE that those outside the section OF the
gallery where the cheering started
could not tell what candidate was
cheered
By 1880 o'clock the confusion had
grown into the hum of a great gather
ing. The spectators flowed into the
gallery in streams, while most of the
delegates had already reached the floor.
When Mr.. Fairbanks appeared there
was a scattering of handcla piping and
cheers as he made his way from the
main entrance to his place in the In
diana delegation and took his seat,
smiling his acknowledgment of the
greeting.

Constitution Not
Aimed at Women. :"

MY belief is based on former opin-
ions of the supreme court, in which
it was said that ali men have a right
to the pursuit of all avocations, all hon
ors and all professions, and that be-
fore the law this right to the choice of
an avocation can not be said to be
abridged on account of sex.
Certainly the trainers of our con-
stitution intended no such results and
surely the legislature never intended
any such purpose. 1t is not possible
for us to believe that the legislation
was enacted in reliance upon any sup
posed rule of the common law, which
would exclude women from the enjoy
ment of any such rights"

Mrs. Georgia Wright TO Storm
Legislature For Permit To
Practice Law.

Mrs. Georgia Mcintyre Weaver, of $40
CORTLAND street who graduated at the
Atlanta Law school last night, is today
planning a fight for admission to prac-
tice on the Atlanta bar that may reach
the supreme court of the United States.
The first steps Mrs. Weaver will take
will be to have a bill amending the
present law introduced in the state leg
islature the latter part of this month,
and if it passes her fight will be of
short duration. But a similar bill was
introduced last session and was receiv-
ed unfavorably. and if the same fate
befalls the new one Mrs Weaver will
apply to the court for admission to the
bar Failure to secure place will
bring an appeal to the Georgia supreme
court. and if the petition is refused
there it will be carried to the United
t.nA

trouble of the sergeant at-arms began.
Colonel Stone, his coat and hat laid
aside and his sleeves rolled up, stood at
the very front of the speakers plat
form and shouted his orders 10 his as
sistants to keep the aisles clear.
The assistants none too familiar
with the arrangements of the seats,
were slow in finding the chairs the
tickets called for, and the crowd in the
main aisle crowded forward. The po-
lice had the first work then. Part of
the first row guards were sent to push
back the struggling intruders. For a
time it looked as though the steam
roller would be the only engine capable
of accomplishing the task, but finally
the officers prevailed and the people
were forced back of those chairs just
as Colonel Stone directed.

Declares Men of
Georgia to Blame.

Il am going to have a place on the
bar if ! have to work ten years to
get it," said Mrs Weaver. Women
have just as much right to practice law
as men, and ! mean to take the lead in
giving them this right.
"They are allowed to practice in all
but three states of the Union, and in
most cases the petitions for admission
reached the United States supreme
court. l mean to carry mine there if
necessary.
Il believe l would win there, for IT
is not so much the law that keeps
women from the bar as it is the fight
the men lawyers make to keep us from
it, They may prolong the effort to
keep this privilege from us, but l think
we will win in the end.

AT THE THEATERS
FEATURE BILL OF STARS
MAKES HIT AT FORSYTH


TriXte Friganza received a warm well
come to Atlanta upon her appearance
at the Forsyth last night. Both Miss
Friganza and her audience laughed
throughout the extent of her stay on

has jolly laugh end smiling eyes that
would bring response to any one
who looks at her even If she did not
say anything and she has quite a bit
to say. and some fetching little sing
let's and even essays a few steps Of
what everybody Is doing. One of Miss
Friganzas songs in which she calls
ooh Henry In a beseeching tone,
caught the popular fancy, in an es :
pecial manner, and after the show. one
heard the call. "Oh. Henry" on every
side Trixie is a popular favorite here,
and Is sure to draw a crowd this week
at the Forsyth.
Beside Miss Friganza, the bill at the
vaudeville house is unusually good.
There are several out of the ordinary
features. Joe WEIGH, the well known
comedian, has many admirers in At
lanta, and his act. on the opening night
vas received with enthusiasm
Then there is the "Up-to date Mis-
sionary," a miniature musical comedy
that goes well. Tom Upton. assisted
by Grace Lindquist. as the Zulu queen,
and number of pretty Zulu girls, gives
a series of songs and dances, with
funny sayings and situations. the scenic
effect being especially pretty also
Another novel act of unusual merit Is
the Japanese wonder worker billed as
The Great Asahi" Some wonderful
dancing is done by one of the two
blackface comedians, HILBERT and War

pleted by Les Montforts in a tip-toe
act Of its kind and the Three Bel
monts, in a singing and dancing trio,
the feature OF which is the scarecrow

Shop and Fifteen Workmen
Are Idle Today.

Fifteen printers, pressmen and book
binders are on strike today at the job
printing shop of Blosser & Company
on Walton street.
President Still. of the Typogra phical
union. declares the men were locked
out of the Blosser shop when they APP
peared there for work yesterday that
they were told by Superintendent Kay
sor that they could return to work
only upon the understanding that they
work nine hours day hereafter for
the same money they were getting, and
that the shop would be an open shop
hereafter. They refused.
The men declare that the Blosser
company joining the ranks of the Ty-
pothetae or non union bosses in this
city, has agreed to a plan whereby
the iourneymens hours of work shall
be increased ard the price of finished
work to the consumer advanced. They
say this movement on the part of the
Typothetae has already driven several
large printing contracts from Atlanta to
other Georgia cities. They declare that
the non union bosses organization has
entered into pool to bid for all job
printing contracts and distribute all To-
cal contracts equally among their shops
at an extra peice than would prevail
| if the printers trust" had not been
formed
Manager Denies Charges.
Manager Kaysor, of the Blosser COM
pany, denied these charges. He issued
a statement in which he said the Bios
ser company was manning half its ma
chimes with men today in spite Of the
strike. He added that hereafter the
company would operate its plant as an
open shop with nine hour workdays.
He said the company extended hearty
invitation to its men to return to work
by o'clock yesterday. that having re-
fused the men would not be taken
back.
The strikers declared this afternoon
they would remain out indefinitely, and
that the International Typogra phical
union had promised them aid in not
only breaking this lockout" but in
bringing into the union the other rat"
job printing plants in Atlanta.

The EditOr-POstmaster's
Troubles

The editor who takes a post
mastership embarks on a trickish
voyage.
If you doubt it, ask Editor Nc
Hargue of theMontanaEcho, pub
lished at London, KY.
The Montana Echo is a Repub-
lican paper, and Editor McHar-
que is a Republican so faithful
that he was given the postofice
at London.
His Republicanism got sadly
Jared when the Chicago conven-
tion was held. He didn't like the
way Taft got his nomination, but
he was postmaster as well as
editor, and his duty was to the
administration. So he determin-
ed, nevertheless, to support the
blackjacked nomination. and this
is the way he did it.
Yes, we are still for Taft. even
if he was made the receiver Of
the stolen goods in the form Of
illegal delegates. What if his
nomination is tainted? There are
men in the house and senate
whose titles are also tainted, and
we have upheld them all along.
One more will not matter much,
and then Mr.. Taft accepted the
stolen delegates so gracefully
that one could scarcely help ad-
miring his nerve.
Yes, you bet, we're for big
Bill" and Sunny Jim,' Boss
Barnes, Penrose, the high finance
of Wall street. and all the other
embellishments that will add lus-
tire 20 the Taft campaign. Let
'er go; it's a great ticket, and
we have fallen for it strong.
Support more sturdy and un-
compromising it would be hard
to imagine. Surely Editor Nc
Hargue met the most. exacting
needs of his embarrassing posi-
tion Of postmaster-editor.
But what was his reward?
By order of the president, says
a dispatch from Washington,
Postmaster McHargue of London,
KY, has been. discharged forthe
good Of the service.
So now he is just an editor. It's
a shabby return for his unfench-
ing acceptance of the Chicago
burglary, but, anyway, now that
he is just an editor he is free
again. Douglas Dispatch.

LEAD is UP

The price OF lead has been advanc-

the highest in some time. 1t Is be
lieved that the future price of the
metal will be in this neighborhood.
The investigation OF the lead trust
has sent the price up. The lead min
ers throughout Nevada will appre-
ciate the advance. With copper and
lead up many OF the low grade prop
critics should be put on dividend
