WOMEN DETECTIVES
AIDATLANTA RAIDERS

ATLANTA, Ga, April Women
detectives employed by the United
States government in the campaign to
enforce the moral zone law for pro-
lection of soldiers are taking part
with Atlanta detectives in raiding dis
orderly houses
Three raids were made yesterday
morning at very early hour in which
the women detectives went with the
detectives, and it is claimed by the
police that abundant evidence was Sc
cured in each raid to make a convic-
ton.
1t is believed that the efforts of the
women detectives to spot houses of
this character will prove more effective
than those Of men.

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS
ON WAR SITUATION

PORTLAND, Me. April /. - Prema-
nent preparedness after the war, and
the vital need Sor beating Germany to
her knees to win lasting peace stood
cut today as some of the strongest
points in Colonel Theodore Roose-
yelt's address before the state repub-
lican convention here.
War is won by brains and steel,
not by kid gloves and fine phrases, I"
Colonel Roosevelt shouted. Some Of
the most important branches of the
government he declared, are almost
chemically pure Of efficient organiza
ton"
Republicans in congress since the
war have sought to serve their party
BY making it serve America. he said.
The former president declared: "Un-
less we war on Turkey precisely as We
war on Germany, we show we are in
sincere when we say we wish to make
the world safe for democracy"
Speaking of Americas part in the
war, Roosevelt said:
IF we had even begun seriously to
fight last September, Russia probably
would not have broken down and vic
tory would now be in sight"

GOVERNOR DORSEY
NOT HARD-HEARTED

ATLANTA, Ca, April If any
body expected Hugh M. Dorsey to show
the marble heart, refusing to exercise
his prerogatiye- of executive clemency
in any case that came before him, no
matter how deserving the applicant
might be, then they simply "doped OUT
tie governor wrong
Some people seemed to think, in the
memorable gubernatorial contest two
years ago that executive clemency
would become thing of the past when
Solicitor Dorsey, the prosecutor OF
Leo Frank, became the head of the
government, but they reckoned wrong
on the brilliant young lawyers char,
acter and personality.
Governor Dorsey, of course, has not
abused the clemency prerogative, but
on the other hand he has not hesitated
to exercise it when he saw fit. Hard
ly week passes without a parole, q
Communication OF sentence, a respite or
a pardon being issued from the office.
Executive clemency is almost as old
as the law itself. To attempt to de-
stroy it would be a strike at the very
foundation of government Being a
lawyer and man of ability we'll vers-
ed in government. Governor Dorsey
understands this fact thoroughly, He
will exercise clemency when he thinks
il ought to be exercised just as all
governors 10 in all states, preconceiv-
Cd notions to the contrary on the part
of some persons of radical views on
the subject, notwithstanding.
