COL, ROOSEVELT'S CRY,
SHALL PEOPLE RULER"
CATCH -PARASE-- AILLES

Nor will any change in the system
remedy this defect. Government can
no more rise above the demands of the
people than water can rise above its
source.
Insult to Thinking People"
Shall the people rule makes a
good slogan for a party which appeals
to thoughtess people, people who will
not think 1t is an insult to the intel
lgence of the people who do think, who
do have a comprehensive conception Of
their government. who know, il they do
stop to think, that they rule now, There
never was a political boss" who did
not draw his power from the people
and never boss-eVen the boss of the
third term party-WhO perverted his
power to evil except through the intel
Hgence OF the people. Intelligent men
know that there is no necessity for
wholesale innovation in order to make
them the arbiters of their fortunes so
far az government can make them that.
Every argument which has been adj
vanced in support of the recall OF
judges and of judicial decisions is based
on the assertion. or the broad intima
ton. that there is no method of rcmov-
ing from judicial Office men who some
times prove false to the people" no way
in which they shall he taken out of
Office and replaced by men with a high
er sense Of their obligations" Argu
ments like that are an insult to the in
telIigenCe Of the men to whom they are
addressed when only within a few
months have impeachment proceedings
been instituted against Judge Robert
w Archibald, Of the Federal commerce
court, while a congressional investiga-
ton has resulted in the resignation of
Federal Judge Cornelius H. Hanford
and the appointment of his successor.
No one believes in retaining on the
bench or in any other office, a man who
has proved false to the people. No one
could be more jealous of the good name
Of the judiciary than President Taft
No one. even the third term candidate,
has any copyright on the command
ment. Thou shalt not steal or any
monopoly on the determination that
only men of the highest probity shall
serve on the bench. either state or Fed
eraL Neither has any one monopoly
on progress. and if deeds-pot words
are to be the test. no one has accom-
pushed more for progress than Presi-
dent Taft

SLATON VICTIM IN
PLOT To AVENCE
MILEAGE VETO
Plan to Pack Convention for
Platform to EmbarraSS Him
as Browns Friend?

Notwithstanding John NJ Slaton's
overwhelming victory in the governor
ship race. and the alleged bipartisan
character of his support in the main,
some of his friends today are in
measure disturbed by reports that have
reached Atlanta to the effect that a
deliberate attempt is being made to
pack" the convention to meet in Ma
con next Wednesday to Mr.. Stations
embarrassment
1t is reported that delegations are
being framed up in many counties of
Georgia, known generally as "Hoke
Smith" counties. whereby a platform
may be promulgated in Macon which
will include many of the so-called
"Hol<e Smith" policies. and particular
~ as they seem opposed to the So
called Joe Brown policies" in Geor--
gia.
The present county executive COM
mittees of Georgia are said to he gen
orally more favorable to the Smith end
of recent Georgia political endeavor
than to the Brown end. They were or
ganized Immediately after Mr. Smiths
last victory for the governorship and
were composed in their majority as
pect, by the known friends of Smith.
Plan to Denounce Brown.
1t is being specifically charged that
a strenuous effort will be made to as
semble a convention in Macon that
will denounce openly Governor Browns
recent veto of the mileage pulling"
bill, passed by the legislature. and dis
approved by the executive.
If that is done. it will embarrass Mr..
Slaton necessarily. as the governor was
known to be Mr.. Stations avoWed friend
in his race, and when Mr.. Slaton's cam
paign was in its infancy and the Brown
support gave it tremendous prestige To
run Slaton for governor on platform
openly denounCing an act of the pres
ent executive would be very distastefu
to Mr.. Slaton. AS a matter of fact,
Slaton likely would refuse emphaticaI-
ly to stand for it. thus, if the conven-
ton insisted, putting the question
squarely up to the people Of Georgia.
The present state executive commit
tee is Hoke Smith committee and as
such will have an influencing voice in
shaping matters at Macon, particularly
in the preliminary work.
Chance For Plan to Succeed.
If the state committee lends itself to
the effort to embarrass Mr.. Slaton. and
any considerable number of county
committees also take a hand in the
matter, the effort may succeed
The convention is to be composed.
under the ruling of the committee. Of
| friends of a various gubernatorial can
Ididates. according to the way the sew
eral counties went. Under this ar
| rangement Mr.. Slaton should have a
clear and @Indisputed control But the
election was very one-sided, and an eff
fort to pack" the convention might
succeed. unless Slaton's friends keep
their eyes open and watch what is GO
ing on
The alleged effort to hit Brown ovel
Slaton's shoulders, because of Browns
veto of the mileage bill is the real
thing, so many of Slaton's friends say
today, that is in the wind, and to which
the county committees quietly are be-
| ing asked to lend themselves.

"Yes, I want you to collect a bill

twenty years. If you can get the
money I will give you half"

place of Mr.. Sawyer and found him
among a group of clients.
"Mr. Sawyer" said he, "Mr. Jones

Before Electricity Came.

Few, indeed, are left to recall
those distant days preceding the
application of steam engines to rail-
road and steamboat work. But there
are plenty who we'll remember when
electricity was considered but natu-
raj phenomena and a plaything OF
nature during terrestrial storms.
1t seems almost incredible, yet it
is true, that but thrifty years ago
electricity was unheard of outside of
scientific laboratories.
We had no telephones.
No electric railways.
No electric fans.
No electric elevators.
No vacuum cleaners.
No electric lights.
No trolley cars.
No electric ranges.
Few electric motors.
We had to walk the city streets or
ride a horse car The suburban resi-
dent sections of to-day were un-
dreamed of and everyone tried to
live as close to the business section
as possible. Hacks did a thriving
business.
We could not call any one up on
the telephone. The mails and mes
senger boys did the work. The tele-
graph was in use but the lines were
few.
All housework was done by hand,
without the handy electric stoves,
the motor driven appliances now in
use.
In hot days we sweltered for the
electric fan was undreamed of.
We read by Pickering candles or
oil lamps and there were no arc
lamps to illuminate the streets after
dark.
There were no motor cars because
the gas engine would be impossible
without electricity for ignition pur-
poses.
There were no electric door bells,
no buzzer communication from Of
flee to Office, no electric f1atirons,
no electric chafng dishes, toasters,
grills, etc.
Factories ran by steam or water
power. Cities were covered with a
pail of black smoak. Railroads could
not run through tunnels without
the gravest dangers. Electric venti-
lating- systems for large buildings
were unheard of. Electric signal
systems for railroads were not used
and the trains ran a good deal on
luck.
Such were the good old days we
hear so much about. The folk who
lived and worked then did not miss
these things inasmuch as they had
never enjoyed them, but one of the
greatest hardships which might be
inflicted upon us to-day would be to
deprive us of electricity. Without
it we would be put to the greatest
inconvenience.

ALLEN CAUGHT IN GAFFNEY?
Man Said to Resemble Virginia Out
law Held by Police.

Gaffney, April 1S.-A man, giving
his name as J. J. Maloney, was ar
rested on the outskirts of Gaffney
this evening about o'clock, suspect
ed of being Sidna Allen, the fugitive
Virginia outlaw He was coming to
the city and stopped to. talk with
mill employee. After discussing sew
eral questions with him, he asked II
there had been any talk Of the AL
lens in this neighborhood. The man
the stranger had accosted had al
ready detected likeness to Allen,
and he at once turned in call for
the police. The stranger made no
resistance when arrested.
When seen in a cell in the city jail
tonight, the man claimed that he
had been living in Atlanta, but that
New York was originally his home.
He claimed that he had been travel
ling salesman and was down on his
luck. In appearance he tailed with
the description sent out of Allen.
His hands and feet are small, and ne
does not show evidence of work. His
clothes are torn and he seems to
have had little to eat.
He denied any knowledge of the
Aliens, but his actions aroused sus-
picion. Notwithstanding the fact
that he claimed to be headed north,
it was near the outskirts of the nor
thern part of the city that the arrest
was made, and thus he seemed to be
going south. Very little information
of a satisfactory nature has been OBJ
tained by the police.
When questioned as to his address
in Atlanta, Maloney gave a number
of different places. He claimed to
have been associated with some sort
of business in Atlanta, with an at
torney named H. J. Boswell, whose
home, be said, was in Greensboro,
N. C. Maloney next stated that he
himself had never been in Green's
boro. He said that his idea for get
ting to Charlotte was that there
might possibly be some mail there
for him

THE LAST OF A RACE.
Crazy Snake, the Aged Creek Indian
Chief and Fighter.

Because it compels a comparison
between the conditions which he
witnessed in his closing years and
those which he saw in his early
prime, the death of Crazy Snake, the
aged Creek chief, will be of interest
to the country, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. If he himself knew
his exact age he never told it to any
body, but he was active as a fighter
long before the opening of the Civil
war His own tribe belongs to the
five civilized clans who were located
in the Indian territory, now the State
of Oklahoma, three-fourths of cen
tury ago, but civilization, or the thin
veneer of decorum superimposed
over savagery which masqueraded
under that name in the old Indian
Territory, had no attractions for
Crazy Snake. Rather was he, so far
as circumstances permitted, spirit
ual descendant of Weatherford, Os-
ceola and the rest of the fighters
produced by the great Mukogee con-
federation of Georgia, Florida and
Alabama of century ago and later.
When, in 1908, Crazy Snake rails
ed his little rebellion against the ac-
ceptance by his tribe of the condi-
tions drawn up by the white man for
land allotment and government un-
der white mans law, he found that
the situation had changed since the
days when he could go on the war
path with a powerful band behind
him whenever the whim seized him.
His rising attracted comparatively
few of his tribe. For few weeks
he kept the field, with some of the
Oklahoma militia on his track, and
then his band gradually dispersed.
His tribe had lost it's old fighting
edge" because there was no longer
excuse or incentive to fight. Rail-
roads were running through their re-
gion. The small band of implacables
to which he belonged were only a
little oasis of savagery in a vast sea
of civilization. His tribe had lost
the nomadic habit. The frontier had
vanished, the buffalo was quite ex-
tinct, and great commonwealth con-
fronted them whichever way they
turned.
n Crazy Snakes own State of
Oklahoma, which was making it's ad-
vent just as the old Creek reaction
ary was starting on his last war
foray, are 100000 people. Among
them there are $4,000 Indians, all
except $4,000 or $4,000 of which
belonged to the five clans-Chero-
KEGS. Choctaws, ChickasaWs, Greeks
and Seminoles-Which he tried to
array against the new order. Indians
are engaged in all the pursuits
of the white man. Among them are
merchants, farmers, bankers, miners,
stock raisers and lawyers. Three of
them-Senator Curtis, of Kansas,
and Senator Owen and Representa-
tive Carter, of Oklahoma-are in
Congress, and assist in making laws
for white men and red. The day of
King Philip, Pontiac, Tecumseh and
Black Hawk had passed when Crazy
Snake started on his last raid, and
even Red Cloud and Sitting Bull had
been knocked obsolete.
