~
General Nelson A. Miles, [. S.
A., retired, in the Cincinnati En-
quirer Sept. Sd, gave out scorch-
ing statement in which he scores
former President Roosevelt, who
is a candidate for a third term in
the presidential chair. General
Miles said:
"No usurper or despot ever sue
ceeded until the people Of the
country were in condition and
mood to pass under the tyranny
of a dictator. The change from
servitude and oppression on the
part Of the people to liberty and
independence is wrought by
violence, heroic deeds and great
sacrifice.
"The change from democracy
to despotism is slow, subtle, III
sidious and fatal. The usurpation,
the tyranny, the spoliation of the
Caesars, the two Napoleons, Crom-
well, Robespierre and Diaz, was
all accomplished under the name
and pretense of a republic.
"False prophets have arisen
and demagogues have fourished,
but never before has one appeared
in our country possessing the
worst elements Of both, and at the
same time consumed with his own
selfish ambition. This is the true
character of Theodore Roosevelt.
the present candidate Of his own
misnamed progressive party.
"The American citizens need
only to look at his record to recog-
nize the most colossal fraud that
this country has ever produced,
and the most unfit man for the
responsible and dignified office of
president. Lacking the qualities
and characteristics requisite to a
proper discharge of the duties of
that high office, and having an
excess Of such as positively dis
qualify him. In order to deal fair
ly with him on basis of facts
undeniable, it is necessary to pre-
sent him in his true light, as:
Roosevelt, the lover of strife
one who pretends to despise men
who do not love to fight, with
whom virility lies only in the de-
sire to kill something, inspiring in
the minds of our youth a most de-
structive and demoralizing dis
position.
Roosevelt, the pretender-
claiming honors he never won,
depriving worthy and heroic men
of just fame and credit they had
earned by noble deeds and great
sacrifice.
Roosevelt, the adventurer-
delighting in hot-headed, reckless,
insane acts; hence most unsafe as
the official head Of a great nation.
Roosevelt, the reckless whose
violations and disregard Of GUS
toms, statutes and international
law were conspicuous and no.
torious.
Roosevelt, the insolent-who
dictated and interfered in the poll

take his fight for a thorough investiga-
tion Of the states printing to the leg
islature and ask for a special legis-

not printed according to contract. is
not at all satisfied with the report filed
with the governor by Frank Cohen

he found no padding in the work.

II am not ono Of those pestiferous

the guest with the red necktie and pur-
pie hose. to a group Of interested listen
ers in the Kimbal house lobby this
morning
Il observe that airy fairy Lillian
Russell has taken unto herself another
husband-her fifth, or sixth. or some
thing. ! forget which. l also observe
that various people and certain news
papers are making great to do and
having much to say about that
why I wonder2
IF Miss Russell-or Mrs. Whatever
was-wished to do that. and was
able TO afford IT. considering the high
cost Of living. and all that sort Of
thing think she should have been
permitted to go her way in matrimonial
peace so long as peace was on the Job.
Marriage is merely a matter Of
taste, anyway Some people are glut-
tons for 1t. others find an infnitesmal
fraction more than lifetime sufi-
cheney.
Miss Russell evidently believes in a
variety Of matrmony So far, how
ever, she has appeared to like it best in
homeopathic doses She has been
married, I understand, less than fifteen
months all told, and no one attack has
lasted more than six months 1t also
has been a long time between various
engagement rings
II may be that she IS determined to
settle down now for long. steady,
happy run hope so, for my part, at
least She is a mighty pretty woman,

MEMS DRESS SHOWS
STEADY PROGRESS
TOWARD NEGLTGEE

LONDON. June lS-The fine wealth
er has brought with it a new develop
msnt in the now constant process of
relaxation in mems dress.
The new polo collar is the final step
taken in the reaction against the stiff
ness of the mid Victorian age. It is
made Of soft linen or silk, with two long
points tapping out from the safety pin
that holds them together. Its effect
is to lend to the most roughly hewn
face an expression of quite childlike
ngenuoqsness.
Soft shirts too, have ousted the old
ephod Of starched linen. The top hat
has become almost a sacramento gar
ment, reserved for weddings, funerals
and Sunday morning service The frock
coat is now mainly remembered as a
Victorian mode.

WATSON IGNORES
MI RCER THREAT
Editor Fires Return Broadside
at Commissioner, But Does
Not Mention Cowhiding.

Apparently Thomas r. Watson. tho
'red-headed person" from Thomson,
isn't even a little bit worried because
Of Fish and Game Commissioner Jesse
Mercer's threat to come down Thorn
sonway and "cowhide" Watson II Wat
son fails to right an alleged financial
wrong inflicted upon his late law part
ner, James W Green, and since upon
his widow
Mr.. Mercer SAYS the Thomson man
instigated, on behalf of the heirs, a
fake" lawsuit against Mercer, as exec
utor Of the estate Of the late +. e. Boyd
and that after grabbing big fee, he
appropriated most Of it to his own use
despite the fact that his then dying
partner Green, was entitled to half Of
IT,
1t is the righting Of this wrong that
Mercer says Watson must come to- or
face a 'cowhiding"
Mercer says but for Watsons inter-
ference in the settlement of the Boyd
estate the heirs would have received
much more than the $4,000 they did
receive
Fee Satisfactory to Clients.
Commenting upon this matter, Mr.
Watson says
James w. Green lived practically
within my own family circle, and l
never knew a soberer or more in
dustrious lawyer,
AS to the fee we took, it was
strictly In accordance with the con
tract, and was perfectly satisfac-
tory to our clients. Had we not
interviewed in their behalf, Jesse
Mercer and his brother would have
stripped them of everything.
Reckless in his mendacity. Mer-
Ger accuses me of having robbed
James W. Green and practically in
Inmates that this wrong, inflicted
upon the unfortunate man by me,
caused his death
The truth is, he himself fixed my
share of the fee, sending me the
check, and also returning to me
the amount which | had voluntari-
~ paid to keep up his insurance
policy, when he Vas confined to
mis- bed with the dropsy that killed
Hiil, anu was unable TO keep up
the insurance himself This fact
can be verified by any one who will
inquire of the president and cashier
of the McDuhie bank, or who will
write to the former cashier, Mr..
William S. Lazenby, of Harlem,
Ga
Doesn't Refer to Threat
The red headed person" doesn't seem
to consider the threatened Mercer
"eowhiding' as really worthy of mo-
tice. Anyway. he doesn't refer to it,
and hasn't in any communication di-
rected to The Georgian
Maybe that is because he has not
been profoundly impressed with the
earnestness of MERGERS threat or
maybe it is because Mercer never has
said when the "cowhiding' is to be
pulled off
Whatever his idea is, Watson is
showing no undue excitement.
