SWEDES ENTHUSE
OVER ARMAMENTS
80, 900 March to Palace and
Pledge Themselves to
Country's Defense.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Feb. g.
Striking success, both spectacular
and material, attended the monster
demonstration today in favor Of the
increase of Swedish ornaments. The
$4,000 participants were told by King
Gustave that the problem of Swedish
defense must be settled without loss
of time.
The army of patriotic petitioners
which had waited on the outskirts Of
the Swedish capital since yesterday
was greeted with enthusiasm by the
entire population of Stockholm, as 1t
marched through the streets to the
palace, where King Gustave was wait
ing to receive it.
The procession was a very pictur-
esque one, composed of small land
owners and farmers from every part
of the kingdom. All of them We're
dressed in holiday attire and wore en-
blems representative of the districts
from which they came. Some OF them
had Travelled 700 or 500 miles, in order
to take part in the demonstration.
The peasants were warmly well
coined by the king, who stood on the
portico of the palace. Their petition
stated that they were ready to make
all the necessary sacrifices to defend
their country and to assure It's inde-
pendence, and demanded that the
matter be taken in hand forthwith.
The king replied that he was in hearty
accord with the desire of the pilgrims
and shared their opinion that the
problem was one which must be
solved without loss Of time.
On that point" he declared, Il am
determined not to yield. The fleet Of
Sweden must also be strengthened"
Each of the men who marched in
the procession was presented with a
small portrait of his majesty and as
the demonstrators left the precincts
of the palace they were again loudly
cheered by the populace.

Revolution Forces Mexico's
John D. to Earn His Living
Alberto Terrazas Whose Family Fortune Estimated Be-
tween $35ooo,ooo to $4oooo,oo Is Now PennIess.
Says He Does Not Mind Going to Work.

ceeding. revolutions have practically
lived on the Terrazas fortune. I'm
mense sums we're contributed by the
family to favorite causes or were ex
torted by the enemy.
A recent instance was the million
dollar ransom demanded for the re-
lease of Luis. jr. He was incarcerat-
ed in the municipal palace at Chi
huahua, but declined to contribute
until he was taken out, beaten with
the fiat of a sword and'a moose placed
around his neck and gently tight
ened. In this predicament he con-
tributed $590,000, all the ready money
at his command.
Held as Hostage.
He vas then permitted to Join his
family and Is still there. The addi-
tional ransom now demanded is $780,
900, but 1t is believed that General
Villa prefers to hold him as a hostage
to deter other members of the family
from financing a new revolt in the
north to harass the rebel rear on its
march to Torreon.
In the early days of armed disorder
In Mexico those of the Terrazas fam
lily who came to the United States
travelled in almost regal state. Num-
pendents came in their traip and
whole floors of hotels here, IN Los
Angeles and other cities were re-
served for the party. This time,
however, they have been living very
moderately. How much money the
elder Terrazas has on this side OF the
border Is not known. but his intimates
say it is comparatively little.
He, like his sons, always had an
anchor to windward in the way of
investments in the United States, but
heavy expenses have eaten them al
most to the bone. Alberto, 1t is said,
would not accept aid from his
fathers reduced store, preferring
rather to fight his own battle with his
own hands When he and his wife
and their children boarded the train
the only servant in the party was an
old nurse.

mense income tied up by three years
of revolutions. Alberto Terrazas, OF
the family whose name in Mexico is
a synonym for great wealth, has been
compelled to seek a. means of liveli-
hood.
This information, as astounding in
Mexico and along the Rio Grande as
similar news affecting a Rockefeller
or a Vanderbilt would be in the
United States, became known here
today with his departure for Pasa-
dena. Cal. He was accompanied by
his family, but not the usual retinue
of servants.
Near Pasadena Terrazas expects to
buy or lease a small farm where he
can make modest living. He Is one
OF those who sees no prospect OF
peace in his native land. and until
tranquility is restored the income of

at do not mind going to work; 1t
may be a good thing" he said to
friends before his departure and then
smiled at his own remarks, for his
prodigality with money has been a
story, chapters of which have been
on two continents-in London and
Paris, In Mexico, Texas, California,
New York and in Chihuahua.
Terrazas has always worked as rich
men have to and once he was Gov
ernor of the State of Chihuahua, but
he did not work for a living.
Now, according to himself. he is to
labor for bread and butter.
He learned much of farming and
the breeding of horses and cattle on
his own ranches, and his friends say
he will be able to hold his own In
wrestling an income from the soil.
His Domain Immense.
The Terrazas fortune was founded
by Don Luis Terrazas, now an octo-
genarian refugee in this city. In land
grants from Presidents Jaurez and
Porfirio Diaz. These holdings have
been augmented constantly, until
now, as train schedules are in
Mexico, IL would take a passenger
train three days to travel the boun-
diaries of this domain. It stretches
from Jaarez 375 miles~south to Jin1i-
nez and west to Casas Grandes.y On
it are towns, hamlets, mines, factories
and fertile farms. All this was the
property of the senior Terrazas and

As To The Question OF Residence

The firm of Hardwick and Fielder
urges against me the accident of resi-
dence. They say Atlanta should not
have two Senators. l reply that Meth
er Atlanta, nor Sandersville, nor Ma
con, should have even one Senator,
Georgia should have them both.
The appeal of these gentlemen to
the logic of geography would imply
that, if elected, Mr.. Hardwick would
consider himself not a Senator from
Georgia but a Senator from Washing
ton county, and likewise Mr.. Fielder
would not feel that he should repre-
sent all the State but only that part
from which he halls.
/ advance no such narrow doctrine.
If they can point to acts of mine as
legislator, speaker of the house, or
president of the State Senate, where
by have ever shown undue partial
ity to Atlanta as against the state,
they might have ground for the OBJ
lection made. But they can show no
such act. 1t is pleasing to reflect that
each time 1 was elected presiding Of
1cer, my strongest support came
from the small counties because they
knew they could get square deal
from me.
AS Governor the bulk of my APP
pointees, including a United States
Senator, two judges OF the Court OF
Appeals and an Attorney General,
came from South Georgia.
While a legislator ten of the eleven
new counties were created from South
Georgia with the, immense increase of

1 do not fear that the people +
Georgia will countenance such men-
ace. A menace it is, for if we had not
put the states finances on a stable
basis, teachers soon would have gone
without any pay, Confederate veterans
would have died while waiting for
their pensions, the educational and
eleeymosynary institutions would
have been paralyzed and the refund
ing of the bonded debt would have
been impossible.
When the crisis came, as it certain
ly would have come as the result of
tremendous deficit, the men of prop
erty would have suffered from confis-
catory legislation born of hysteria.
I urged economy as much as the
payment of debt and this law will in

GOVERNOR sLATON WRITES A
CARD TO GEORGIA VOTERS

one of his stepping stones to Con-
gress. How far has he proceeded
during his twelve years, in repeating
them? How many times has he OBJ
tanned favorable, or other, reports
from committee? Has he ever got
the question to a vote? Is it natural
TO expect that he would be more sue
cessful in the Senate?
Mr.. Felder-junior member of he
firm-urges poverty as prime quail
dfication. l believe that from poverty
have proceeded the best and noblest
of the world. 1t is a good school, as
know from long experience.
But is poverty any reason, of itself,
why Mr.. Fielder should be sent to the
Senate? l marvel that any self-re-
specting Georgian would make a
draft on sympathy in appealing to
the voters of his native state for
this sigh Office.
Every dollar l possess came from
the practice of the profession which
MIR. Fielder and l follow. Before en-
Gering college I earned by my own
labor the money with which to pay
my way.
If 1 can meet the legitimate ex-
penses of a campaign, while nothing
in my favor, does not argue against

form the public of the purposes for
which their money is spent, and will
fortify the economical legislator by
the approval of his constituents. In
1915 and possibly this year, the tax
rate will be reduced below the five
mills limitation, and woe to him who
appropriates eXtravagantly on the one
side and cuts the revenue on the other.
Mr. Hardwick's record as a member
of the Legislature proves his attacks
on the tax equalization act to demand
much explanation.
In 1899, as member of a special
committee he urged the adoption u
an act on which the present law is All
improvement (See House Journal
1899, Page 1922
His bill did not pass, but, being q
member of the succeeding Legislature
he joined with others in re-introduc-
ing his equalization bill, and unsuc-
cessfully urged it's passage. (See
House Journal 1900, Page 3OO.)
As To Not Resigning.
AS a climax to the campaign of in
constituencies, consistent in nothing
but joint attacks upon me, the people
are told l should have resigned as
Governor.
Mr. Fielder holds up his act of res
ignation as a great patriotic move.
Yet he fails to see anything improper
in his running-mates deserving the
halls of Congress on the eve of threat
ened war, to pursue a campaign a
thousand miles away. Could any Sc
verer commentary be offered upon Mr..
Hardwick's boosted influence in Con
gress than he himself has afforded in
his assumption that all his duties to
the country and the president may be

performed at juncture so critical as
the present by the simple expedient
of pairing" his vote?
Nor does Mr.. Hardwick find aught
to censure in Mr.. Felder's' deserving
the Office of Attorney General for per-
sonal ambitions sake at time when
important litigation of the State, his
client, rendered his experience in that
Office most necessary. Why did Mr..
Fielder abandon the people just when
the Supreme Court of the United
States refused to grant his motion 20
enjoin the Ducktown Copper Com
pany, a Tennessee corporation, from
damaging the property Of Georgians
by showering it with destructive
acide? Was it because the case should
have occupied most of his time until
September? And thus he left his
client to the mercies of an attorn ~
they could not select, and who must O.
necessity have been unacquainted with
the litigation.
Messrs. Hardwick and Fielder pro-
nounce eulogies upon Senator Hoke
Smith and President Wilson. Did SEN
ator Smith resign even after being
chosen? Did either Mr.. Hardwick or
Mr. Fielder criticise him for not re-
signing? Did not President Wilson re-
main Governor until the day before his
Inauguration? Did or does either Mr..
Fielder or Mr.. Hardwick criticise him
for so doing?
Let me repeat that l regard public
office as a sacred contract between
the official and the people electing
him to be abrogated only by mutual
consent.
l have never criticised any one any
where or at any time for submitting

Dean Summers address last night
was one or n most interesting that
has been heard on the Citizens Lee
ture course this year. His subject was
Some Aspects Of Social and Civil

Owing to the deans great activity in
Chicago as a member of the Chicago
board Of education and countless 9th

nations OF that city and the state of

ant with such a topic.
Keen competition compels man to

"One thing that commands respect for
a man, next to honor, is efficiency. Ask
yourself do measure my eftici-
ency as a citizen?
There are three requisites for q
citizen. One is knowledge. There is
no excuse for the lack of knowledge
these days. The other two are loval-
ty and action.
All of the problems that are fac
ing us today group themselves around

Next m the child in the home. The
