Woodrow Wilson"

Woodrow Wilson is quite we'll to-

year-old physician could possibly be.
Following the water cure admins
tered TO him by the little maid at the
Terminal station YESTERDAY during
which employees Of the depot were or
dered about mighty imperiously,
woody" began showing signs Of i'm
provement. and reports from Indian
Springs to-day say he is as lively a
fox terrier as may be found.
Illness of the dog caused almost as
much excitement as if It had been the
great man for whom he was named
who was ill., sitting upright in his
little mistress lap. the dog took his
medicine obediently from the spoon
which Martha Jones had ordered the
station caller to get.
Little Martha was spending d few
hours in Atlanta with her mother on
the way from Aragon to Indian
Springs The dog developed a sad
look while waiting at the Terminal,
probably an attack of homesiCkness,
and his little mistress became greatly
distressed.
But apparently he needed a little
caressing to bring him to rights. like
the CAV soubrette who needs "A little
lovin' now and then" for in a short
while after being cuddled i'm little
Martha's arms he displayed symp-
toms Of being an unusually healthy
puppy and as ready for action as the
other Woodrow Wilson.

WEALTHY j. 6. GIRL
MISSING IN LONDON
Lucy Dodge, Granddaughter of
John BigeIow, Is Believed to
Have Joined MiIitants.

Special Gable 10 The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, April S.-What has be-
come of Miss Lucy Dodge, the 81
year-old daughter of the rich Ameri-
can family There is the question
which is to-day agitating the Ameri-
can section OF London society, just as
the disappearance of Miss Dorothy
Arnold disturbed New York
The offer Of a reward for informa-
ton leading to the whereabouts Of
Miss Dodge. published in newspapers
here spurred amateur detectives 10
the chase and various theories wee
pursued in hope of winning the re-
ward.
An anonymous letter received at
Scotland Yard to-day suggested that
Miss Dodge has enlisted her sympa
thes with the Woman's Social and
Political Union. OF which Mrs Emme-
line Pankhurst is president. TINS
letter, which purported to be from
member OF the violence squad. stated
that a girl answering the description
for Miss Dodge had made application
for work At the headquarters Of the
Woman's Social and Political Union
She was remarkable for her excep-
tional beauty and for the marks OF
refinement and culture which were
unmistaka BILE
The girl told chance aequslutan =
that she was tired OF a life of tdleness
and ease and wished to earn her liv-
ing.
Miss Kenny. one Of the chief lieu
tenants Of Mrs. Paukhurst. who talked
with the girl, said;
Il know of no better future for
young woman than that OF suffrage.
II young woman IS wearied Of an
idle. useless life. let her join one of
our active squads and she viii got
enough heart interest in the welfare
Of her less fortunate sisters to keep
her mind busy
Scotland Yard men and private de-
fectives seeking Miss Dodge attempt
ed to learn from the Woman's Social
and Political Union where the young
woman had gone, but they got LITTLE
satisfaction.
Miss Dodge is a granddaughter OF
John Bigelow, former United States
Minister to France.

TAFT'S LATEST VETO.

IL the veto by President Taft of
the Webb bill. the retiring execu-
tive manifests once more his belief
that the people should be saved from
themselves. 1t Is simply another
demonstration of his conviction-un-
questionably honest--that it is by no
means sufficient ground for the
enactment of any law that a clear
majority of the people favor it. This
is because Taft was so long a Judge
that IL is second nature for him to
ignore popular will.
In this particular case, Taft vetoed
the Webb bill, which prohibited the
transportation of liquor from one
state into another that has prohibited
the sale of liquor. for the avowed
reason that he questioned it's con-
stitutionaaity. Well, what is the
supreme court for? Is it not enough
that that tribunal should have APP
propriateo-without any authority in
the constitution-the right of declar-
ing void any laws it considered in
c~ontravention of the provisions OF
the constitution? Must the president
also assume the prerogative of inter-
preting the constitution, without
even giving the courts a chance to dc
so?
1t seems that the president is TAX
ing a great deal of responsibility up
on himself when he not only over
rides the votes of a majority of both
houses of congress but in order to
do so encroaches upon the functions
of another branch of the federal gov
eminent.

spite the disasters that have come to
the party since his inauguration-be-
gun when the democrats won the
lower House of Congress while
Roosevelt was 10 a political factor
no one has ever seriously questioned
Mr.. Taft's honesty.
II ought to be clear now that the
one great reason for Mr.. Taft's fail
nre to carry his party TO victory dur
ing his administration, is that Mr..
Taft took the unpopular conservative
end of the contest that has been GO
ing on in congress and in the whole
country for at least a decade. While
old conservative leaders were being
retired from congress with a regular
ity that spoke fixed determination on
the part of the voters, Mr.. Taft es-
poused their cause and when he sub
mitted his candidacy for reelection,
he met with dismal defeat. The
same controversy is going on within
the democratic party and Mr.. Wilson
will find it necessary to join one side
or the other. If, as seems likely now,
he should align himself with the
progressive element, We shall have an
opportunity to find whether this suits
the voters of the country any better
than did Taft's conservatism.
