Should the Peopla Govern
Or Be Governed?

We now have a question be.
fore US, that, the great minds are
divided on. Roosevelt has de-
clared in favor of Recall of
Judges. And not only a Recall
Eof Judges, but that the people
should say when a judicial deci
slon came in question, whether
1t IS right or not. And Arizona
adopted in their Constitu tion
Recall, But President Taft ve-
ICED it, and decl red against a
Recall, But the greatest minds
are for Recall. Taft's mind is
more to the interest of the mon.
ey power of the East. Roose.
velts' for the people. A Recall
is in favor of the. farmer and
wage Garner. But'with Taft and
no Recall it puts US in mind of
the words of the Wise man, when
completed.
THE rich ruleth over the poor,
and the borrower is servant to
the lender. PRO. 22-7,)
Bot on the other hand, the
words Of Roosevelt, brlhgs to
our mind, those words.
Behold, the hire of the )ahonr-
ers who have reapeo dawn your
fields, which is of you kept back
by fraud, crieth; apd the cr,es
of them which have reaped are
entered into the ears of the Lord
OF Sabaoth." flames. 81
Yes we must say tco, the people
by a majority voice should rule.
For we honestly believe that
whenever thA people elects to
office: a man to serve them, and
he betrays his trust, in any way
knowingly, 1t should be the
people right'to recall him. The
majority voice of the people
should be the ruling power in
Law and judgement. That No
hle man Abraham Lincoln de.
clared this fact in words and
deeds. He declared that Every
man had right to Life, Liberty
and the persuit of happ'ness.'
and that the people should gov.
ern," He said again: II regard
II as a comp etc negative of our
whole system of government,
and it it becomes the dominant
position in this country. 1t
would mfan the absolute upset
ting of both lhe rights and The
rule Of the people, Z. ~
Again he said, This country
with it's institutions belongs to
the people who inhabit it. When.
ever they shall grow weary of
the existing government, they
can exercise their rights of a.
mending it," This Roosevelt in
his speech at Columbus on Feb.
22rd, 1912 declared the same
to be the rights of the peop'e.
This de:'arl'i>n SHOW his
great manhood for the people.
1t is true that we do rot hold
that Roosevelt is a perfect man
ana has never committed an 'er.
ror, But we do claim, that he
has been showing himself a
friend t. the people. And we
farther hold, that at this time he
is the man who the majority of
the people need. Inorder to
meet the hand of oppression.
And stay the black hand of tare-

rob them Of their children. If
we did not think that Roosevelt

The campaign of 1912 marks a
crisis in rational life-a crisis
which, if not met with wisdom
and strength and dealt with in
the spirit of progress and right

disaster as surely as night fol-

And we consider it a brave
thing that Roosevelt has done in
.striding back into the battle line.
He has tasted more of world
wide adulation, has gathered
more of worldwide honors than
any other man in all the record
Of human activities. Another elec.
iion to the presidency can add
nothing 10 the pages he is to

and nothing 70 gain by this bat.

But Theodore Roosevelt has
never shirked a duty or task
and he stands today ready
to risk the hignest place in the
minds and hearts of men ever
yet won ready to go to defeat if
iced he, that he may serve the
people who have trusted him.
'Ofhis outstanding, magnificent

Il am opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt,
first, because of the character of the
campaign that he has been carrying
on.
Il am opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt
also because of the unsOund consti-

that he promises to put into state
constitutions, and if he puts them
into state constitutions they necessa-
rily will go into the federal consti-
tuition.

And finally | am opposed to him
because his nomination will be a de-
parture from a tradition that has
been recognized by Washington, by
Jefferson, by Jackson, by Lincoln, by
Mckinley and was preserved in the
case of Grant by the people against
the will of Grants friends, and has
been approved by Theodore Roose-

Efforts of Defeated Faction to Pre-

Underwood Men Have Failed.
ATLANTA The various grand,
gloomy and peculiar efforts to pre-
cipitate a row between Thomas E.
Watson and his Underwood friends
in Gerigia seem completely to have
failed. The Atlanta Georgian, which
is not supporter of Underwood,
says:
There is nothing whatever doing
in the row business.
Mr. Watson is not hunting trouble,
and has not been hunting it. He
never has been known to run from
a row that seemed determined to
come his way, and he has been
known to go down to the gate and
meet trouble on the threshold there
of. But invariably when he has
fought or elected to fight there has
been something real and substantial
in sight to fight for and about.
The so-called anti-Watson fight
among the Underwood leaders has
never progressed much beyond the
tempest-in-a-teapot stage, anyway.

DOG CAUGHT A FISH.
A Remarkable Story Comes From
the City of Valdosta.

the O1Jy OF talUOSCas
The following remarkable fish
story was taken from the Valdosta
Times and is interesting, inasmuch
as it furnishes a fresh start for fish
yarns and is also out of the ordinary
of it's kind. The Times is sponsor
for its truthfulness:
Rural Mail Carrier Scruggs has
seen a good many things in his life
that surprised him, and he has heard
good many things that he did not
believe, but he saw something yes
terday that not only surprised him,
but he would not have believed it if
he had not seen it. Down near Mr..
John Carrroll's place some boys were
catching fish that had run out Of
the bay into a small stream. There
were plenty of fish in it, and the
boys were having a lot of sport
catching them. A dog watched the
performance for a while and then
took part in it. The animal ran
along the stream and caught plenty
of fish, lifting them out of the water
and laying them on the bank.
Mr.. Scruggs says that he has seen
dogs catch chickens and run after
rabbits, but he never saw one run
along a stream and catch fish before.
The fish were not killed, but were
gently taken out of the water and
laid on the bank, where the boys
could get them If they wanted

FLOOD SWEEPS AWAY HOUSES
THE ALTO CREVASSE is CONTIN-
UALLY WIDENING.
ment Being Used by Families
as Temporary Residences.

MELVILLE, Lat was estimat-
ed today that the Alto crevasse in
the Atchafalaya river levee, twenty
miles above this place, had widened
to more than fifteen hundred feet
and is still widening. An immense
amount of water is pouring through
the break and is spreading rapidly
| over the country Two houses in
the path of the crevasse waters We're
swept away like chips and have dis
appeared.
Back water continues to rise mere
/ at the rate of an inch an hour. The
tops of fences have been submerged
and numerous piles of firewood and
lumber have foated away. The tel
ephone exchange is flooded and the
switchb board is being moved from
time to time to keep it above the
level Families have moved into
Texas and Pacific station and many
freight cars on the high railroad
embankment are being used as tenn
porary residences. The railroad has
been washed out at several places.
Several houses near Bush Bayou,
drainage canal town, have been
swept away. Two militiamen at
tempted to shoot the rapids in the
bayou late yesterday and came near
drowning. They were rescued from
tree after three hours work. The
troops will probably be recalled to-
day, the mayor saying that the wa
ter had risen to such height that
little remains to be done.
Lieutenant Weeks arrived yester
day with the United States ship Min
netonka and began distributing ra-
tions. The officer expressed the be-
lief that this was his last trip here,
because of diminishing supplies and
available appropriations for relief
work. 1t was said that the Red Cross
society might be appealed to to take
up the relief work in the event the
government withdrew.
