WHAT HAS BECOME OF LACY?I
QUESTION NOW "A HAS BEEN
NO LONGER CAUSES UPLIFTING
OF EYEBROWS OF THE WISE
WHEN ASKED, BUT SEARCH
CONTINUES
by L. $. BETTY

Montgomery. July 2.-(S (SpeciaL)-
What has become of Theo Lacy?
AT one time as common as queries
concerning the weather or as to wheth-
er or not Conner would run for gov
ernor, this question now rarely evokes
an answer in official circles. One can
not tell by single lift of an eye
brow whether or not the query has
been heard. There are times when the
question. If asked in a crowd pro-
vokes laughter, but 1t is usually an
indication that the little throng of Of
ficials are preparing to disperse and
that they are now ready to take up
the consideration of less weightler mat
ters than questions concerning the
Whereabouts of the absconding chief
clerk in the convict department
And no one attempts to answer the
question. There were times when opin-
Ion largely prevailed that Lacy was
hiding in Dallas county. In fact, there
was some very conclusive evidence pro-
duced to show that Lacy did go to
Dallas county after having stolen near
1y 100000 of the states funds, but how
long he remained in Dallas county or
when he left, or to what parts, are
4bcSAlOuS lHdl OHly the Delpu1S oracle
could solve
Dallas Searched
Practically every corner of Dallas
county has been searched by detec-
tives and officers employed by the gov
ernor reports indicating that Lacy was
in Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans,
st. Louis, Raleigh and other places
have all been Investigated and every
other conceivable rumor and clue have
been followed and traced to the end
So far as Goevrnor ONeal or any
state official knows, Theo Lacy may
be in Honduras, in Australia, or fol-
lowing some lonely caravan across the
Sahara desert.
Still the search for the absconding
clerk continues and will continue, de-
clares the governor, until Lacy has
been captured Time has not shaken
the governors determination to place
Lacy behind the bars and the search is
as systematic, as perseverng and as
faithful as during the first two or three
weeks of the defaulting clerks disap-
pearance. Only there is not so much
noise" now. not so much publicity,
which is probably destined to accom-
plish better results.

PIONEER PAPER OF THE COUNTY

Conditions do not appear to be i'm.
proving in Mexico. At present thu
president of the United State,
appears to be waiting for an an.
nouncement from Huerta, the assas.
sin who holds power in a part Of
Mexico-a power he secured by
causing the murder of the elected
president, Madero. President Viii.
son has been extremely patient with
Huerta. That is right. War is toe
serious proposition to be lightly
entered into. But this country, OF
any other civilized and Retrospect.
ing nation. cannot stand everything.
Thousands of Americans have been
compelled to leave Mexico, sacrific.
ing their property, in order to save
their lives. Several citizens Of the
United States resident in the
southern country have been murder
ed; and still there has been nothing
stronger than protest. 1t would be
an impossible condition for this
country to have a nation adjoining
it by long frontier line in q chronic
state of war-and that, too, war
that was really series of assas-
sinations and court.martial exc.
cutions. If it was impossible for the
United States to longer bear the
situation in Cuba-a province
separated from this country by
several miles of ocean-it certainly
will not be possible to be satisfied
with a chronic upheaval in Mexico,
which in many parts of its frontier
is separated from our country by
only row of border-marking monu.
ments. If President Wilson soon
loses his patience with Huerta and
asserts the dignity and power OF
this county, he ought to have-and
will have-the loyal support Of
every American worthy Of the name,
regardless of politics or political
faction.

seems probable credentials as
United States senator would be
given to the winner at the election.
Even il every provision of the state
laws had not been complied with.
it is not likely that the Senate Of
the United States would refuse
to seat such winner; and the Senate,
like every other legislative body in
this country, is Judge Of the qualifi.

members Of the legislature who,
like the writer, have their business

be absent without much drawback,
q sojourn in the Capital City for
from q week to q month would be
anything but q hardship; but the
fact remains that legislative sessions
are IN expensive tter-particular-
ly for the taxpayers Of a state with
less than q million population-and
If there is any legal, or near legal,
way Of avoiding it, no session
should be held.

petition for 4 proposed change 10 the
constitution, such PER cent to be
obtained in at least half Of the
counties Of the state. This does not
mean that rs per cent Of the voters
in each of the counties Of the state
embraced in half the counties must
be obtained, but the names obtained
in at least half the counties Of the
state must make total Of Is per
cent of the votes cast in the whole
state at the preceding election.
Really, the only difference Of i'm.
portapce between the successful bill
and the defeated bill is the matter
of percentage Of signatures; and
it seems to the writer that there il
very little choice. because. If people
advocating a measure cannot get Is
per cent of the voters to sign petit
ton for a vote thereon, how may
they expect upward Of SO per cent
at the election. which is necessary
to give it a majority? There are
other differences between the pro-
visions Of the two bills, but the one
above outlined is the important one.
As these measures have passed
two sessions Of the legislature, they
will, under the provisions of the
constitution, be submitted to the
voters at the regular election next
fall. Both amendments will be on
the ballot, and the voters can make
choice. In case the provision allow
ing amendments to the constitution
prevails. it will, Of course. be two
years longer before q vote can be
taken on amendments to the
constitution.

purpose of making a statute provid.
ing for the placing of the names Of

ing that senators shall be chosen by

ney General Miller, at the request
of Governor Hanna, rendered an
opinion that the state laws are
elastic enough to authorize the
placing of the names on the ballot.

The Socialistic political party has
Jared badly in practically oil Of the
elections this year. whether for
large or small positions. The few
cities and towns of the country that
had mayors and aldermen of that
faith seemed to be all but unaEi-
nous in unloading them. 1t was
supposed that at the recall election
in Minot, this state, the Socialists
would cut quite a figure, as they
more than once had had a majority
in the city, and their leader had at
one time been president Of the city
commission, a position correspond
ing to large extent with that Of
mayor in cities working under the
old plan. But the Minot candidates
of that political organization were
showed under by a vote of two to
one. At the recent state election in
Massachusetts the vote Of the
Socialists fell from the ii. 493 of the
1912 election to 1887, while there
was no corresponding decrease in
the total vote Of all parties cast in
the state. When one thinks of the
attitude Of Socialists as whole. it
is not remarkable that they lose
their voting power just rs soon as
they have reached a respectable
total in an election. When they
cannot agree among themselves as
to their demands-when scarcely
two of them advocate the same
measures-how can they expect the
great voting public to take them
seriously? The fact is that the
Socialists have more than once
apparently been on the way to
success, only to drop with the pro-
verbal "dull and sickening thud."
Thirty-five years ago the Socialist
organization became very strong in
the big cities. The writer then
lived in Chicago, and had knowledge
of conditions surrounding the labor
movement. A minority of the dele
gates to the trades.union central
body represented unions that had q
majority Of Socialists. These dele
gates were, sub rosa, unfriendly to
the trades-union movement, believ-
ing that it was not sufficiently
radical. Later, they attempted to
capture the central organization.
They were defeated, and their
action made bitter enemies of the
real Observation-Disclosures men and
women who were earnestly seeking
by organization to hold their own in
the contest with organized capital.
and who marched in their pro-
cessions under the flag of their
country, and who had no use for
red flags and other insignia of
treason and disorder. 1t will be
many long year before the
Socialists will obtain political power
in this country.
