DIVINE RIGHT Of JUDGES IS.
LIKE THAT Of KINGS, SAYS.
T.R. IN sOC|AL|ST|C SPEECH

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BUENOS AYEES, Nov. Using
the word "collectvist" for socialist.
and "inGividualist' for capitalist,
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in his
speech here to-day went on record as
being heartily in accord with most OF
the doctrines OF such Socialists as are
radical social reformers and not gin
lister revolutionists who advocate pol
icies which are not merely unwork-
able, but odiously repulsive because OF
their sordid immortality
Several thousand miles from home
Colonel Roosevelt discussed and out
lined what he hopes to- accomplish
with the National Progressive party
probably more in detail and more In
timately than he ever has before. He
went at length into the recall of the
judiciary and judicial decisions, and
said that q free democracy can no
more recognize the divine right Of
Judges than the divine right of kings,
adding that the people must have the
right 20 make and unmake their pub
lie servants.
Calls Socialist "Misused."
The colonel said that instead OF the
word "collectivist" he would use the
word Socialist" but for the fact that
many good people misunderstood the
meaning of the word and the fact that
II Is misused by many other people
who advocate governmental philoso-
phies some of which are not only
chlmerical, but would be wholly I'M
desirable even II they were not Chi
merical."

Aged Housewife Battles Desper-
ateIy With Highwayman Who
Takes Purse and $50.

Mrs Jessie Latham. so years old.
was choked and beaten almost into
insensibility Friday morning at 8
o'clock by a negro hignwayman, who
attacked her as she passed the mouth
Of McNefu's alley, within 20 feet Of
her home at No 50 Hood street.
After a desperate struggle, the ne
grow threw the aged Woman heavily
to the ground, wrenched her purse,
containing between $40 and $50, from
her hand. and fed up the alley. Po-
lice officers and neishbors who an
swered the woman's screams for help
were unable to find any trace OF her
assallant.
1t has been Mrs. Latham's custom
for years to leave her home about G
o'clock every morning, and go to the
grocery store about a block away
where she purchases food for her
breakfast. She always carries her
purse, usually containing about $50.
Street Was Deserted.
ID Friday morning she stepped from
her home and started walking brisk
~ IN the sharp morning air uncon-
scious of the negro lurking in the
alley The street was deserted save
for Mrs. Latham, though all of her
neighbors had arisen and We're busy
preparing their morning meal.
A high board fence on either side
hides the approach TO the alley, and
in the shadow of the fences the ne
gro hid. AS Mrs. Latham passed the
mouth Of the alley. the negro, hat
pulled down over his eyes, darted out
of the shadows and seized Mrs. Lath-
am by the arm. He whirled the aged
woman around and made a desperate
grab at the poCketDooK.
Mrs. Latham started 20 scream, ana
the negro with an oath released his
hold on her arm and gripped her
throat with both hands. As she CON
tinued to struggle, the negro dragged
her into the alley and a desperate
battle followed.
Mrs. Latham struck and tore at the
negro with all her feeble strength, but
she wac powerless to escape. The
hfghWavman choked and struck the
aged woman in the face until she
was almost unconscious. She struck
him time and again in the face with
her clinched fist. and at each blow
the negro pressed his fingers deeper
into her throat.
Passerby Fails TO Sec Struggle.
Footsteps were heard on the side
walk and the negro placed one hand
over Mrs. Latham's mouth and
crouched with his victim in the shad-
ows of the fence. A workman passed
the mouth Of the alley without seeing
them
The negro then resumed his efforts
to wrench the pocketbook from Mrs.
Lathams hand, but she fought des-
peratcIy. Finally the womans eyes
closed and her body relaxed. The
highwaymau. with an oath, threw the
body Of his victim heavily against
the fence, wrenched the purse from
her hand and fed up the alley.
Mrs. Latham lay on the ground for
several moments before she recOV-
cred sufficiently to make an out
cry. Then she screamed and neigh
bors came running. Crowds of infu-
rated men scattered over that sec
ton of the city, Nowing vengeance
on the hiehwayman, Call Officer
Watson came out from police head
quarters and Joined in the search. but
no trace Of the negro could be found.

Of iudividualism up to the point where
it ceases to produce the highest ca
paCity among the people as "a whole

Here are some striking passages
from Colonel Roosevelts speech.
Entirely unregulated and uncon-

tons of modern industrialism would
lead to a condition of anarchy"
Small enterprises can be left as yet

great Industrial enterprises which ii

be subjected to thoroughgoing
governmental supervision and con-
troll"

"The citizen must be so trained that

The City Manager Plan

Though the latter long step in the direction municipal form, experience has disclosed which might have but feverish hurry to get away the old spells system.
 Under the commission form the business of the cits divided into departments, each which d commissioner is assigned Of this arrangement, the Outlook says: The commission, using members agents for the execution of municipal policies repeatedly finds it necessary to order by majority vote the oing of certain things which tbc commissioner who execute that order is op- posed.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED
(RN John l.. IrA-inl


 There be a feeling n Phoenix that. under the proposed charter, the HuH Moose are endeavoring to get strange-hoId the city gov errment Do not be deceived The enemies of the commission form of government aeftating this, hoping to stir up enough prejudice to defeat the charter Ihe facts are, the manager feature is not idea Moose. but was written in the first charter before the Bull Moose party born Some of the gentlemen who afterward became B. M, favored it. while many them opposed it. Judge Ainsworth and myself were the first and strongest advocates or the manager form and one will accuse either of being in any way re- lated that party.
 The manager idea was taken from the I-oclport N- Y, charter, and it appears being the most sensible plan the business Of the cor poration. The city government shoiIJd be con,,arod to q big business concern; the commissioners should take the place directors, the manager as super fntendent As for politics in city affairs. l think as President Wilson expressed himself about the money trust, that any man who tries inject par tsan politics into city affairs should higher
 The city manager was not eliminated from the first charter until after that document had been printed Then the streetcorner politicians and one of the Phoenix papers began bowling and scared enough of the framers of the charter to get the manager out
 It's very important that this charter be adopted and if it is not better than the old form, will be the fault of the people and it would to con ceve of worse form than the present
 great deal depends the kind Of men elected on the first commission, and broad-minded busi- ness man should be employed as manager his head to come off the first time he showed any political preference.
 Have you ever stopped to think what it means to the Pacific Gas X Electric company to have this charter defeated? However I am not accusing these people of being openly opnosed to if \at,r,I7, t, are not anxious for change of tract they have with the city Phoenix to furnish cectrlclty. Said contract was made for five years with a provision that it might be terminated upon the change to a commission form of government Now do you see any reason for them opposing the charter? The city, under the cntract is paying nearly $l00o per month for lights at the of , cents per kiloWatt, the government-in other words the people-deltvering the juice the P G. S F. Co in Phoenix for 1h a kiIowatt. This looks like handsome profit to be paying for distributing your own goods. If this charter adopted, and the right kind of commission is elected Phoenix will have its own lighting system and buy the juice direct from the government at 11@ cents kowatt hour or less.

The Sc ensational

There is a theory that newspapers should fur n.sh readers with the kind of journalistic entertainment they desire there be taken into account that readers desire decency and some do There is trial at Los Angeles the of Long Beach millionaire charged with contributing to the delinquency several young girls These girls who are witnesses for the peo- pie, are of peculiarly low type. The story is a most sordid involving bestality, conspiracy bBackmaiI
 The newspapers would be justified from newspaper point in failing to make a decent presentation the facts in this case. In deed, on moral grounds, that becomes a duty, for if absolute newspaper silence regarding such mat ters maintained, they would become more ire quent The shame of publicity acts as a deter rent to certain kind criminals It is more dreaded by such the accused millionaire than criminal prosecution.
 But think that the could be presented in way not particularly offensive to decent read CTS Instead in this instance, some of the Los An geles newspapers gIoating the trial The descriptions of the girl witnesses and their con drct on the tand elaborate and are ilIu- trated by large photographs them.

 Newspapers are driven this kind of sen sationalism in the fever of circulation extension tbat the value of their advertising columns may increased.

 We believe majority of the voters of Phoenix good citizens have an interest in good eovernment-that they expect to have q voice the adoption of the charter.
