lutism Would Kesult
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 27. --"Roosevelt-1
ism would mean absolutism" declared
Henry L. Waterson, editor of the Lou
Uville Courier-Journal in an interview
today in which he expressed the belief
that the long-hoped for change of par
ties io power wan at hand. "If they
put him in the White House again we
will never get him out except feet fore
most. "I believe that the party discipline
and organization will be strong enough
to secure Mr. Taft'a nomination; itill a
stan-pede for Mr. Roosevelt ia not im
possible. It looks as though his friends
are playing a very wary fume to that
end.. It is my opinion, however, thp.t
what Mr. Taft lacks at one end Mr.
Roosevelt lacks at the other. No man
can ride two horses going in opposite
directions at the earn" lime. In seek
ing to ride the proletariate of the West
while making his peace with the inter
ests of Wall Street Mr. Roosevelt is
attempting this pass. There in a yet
greater dragon across his path than
any of the lions he encountered in Af
rica. That is the third term issue.
"The limitation set upon the occu
pancy of the Presidency oilieo is all that
stands between us and Hie tenure. The
election of Roosevelt, in JV would
mean an exigency in Will xnd a Diaz
election in 1920. Now, when we on
sider that the President of the United
States has more power t han any s v
ereign in the world it in easy to see
that the abrogation of the third term
tradition would mean something little
short of absolutism. On that issue.
which would become immediately para
mount in the campaign. I do not be
lieve Mr. Roosevelt, with all his extra
ordinary ri sources ami popularity.
would carry a single ntai o in the
Union."

A Score or More Lined Up Before
Mayor McCarthy Tuesday
Afternoon.
A score or more of offenders, some
watery-eyed and still weak from the
effects of the whiskey they had imbibed
of during the holidays and which had
caused their downfall, "some defiant and
presenting a countenance wh ca clearly
avowed that they thought tbey had been
outraged by being; . brought into court,
lined up before Mayor McCarthy Tu -
day afternoon and answered for their
tranRgresstogs, .
Green McDaniel, colored, could doubt
less be classed as the leading man, in
the "mellow drama" which .was. ena-.t-ed
before the large .audience. The
scene was set on plctureaqne Long
Wharf and McDaniel was ably support
ed by a capable company of players.
The first act showed the star engaged
in pummelling several young men who
happened to be in ;that locality at that
time. Of course the scene would have
been imperfect without some- retaliat
ion on their part and the curtain fell
(amid much applause) on a scene de
picting the stellar performer In ignom
ius retreat. The second and laataH
showed the interior of a .colored wo
man's cottage and the star crouched in
one corner of the room. A knock at
the door and the strong arm of the law
appears on the scene (more app'auae.)
The truant is placed under arrest car
ried to the dungeon (city lock up) and
allowed to sleep off . the 18 karat, jag
with which he is hindered. Mayor Mc
Carthy decided that as long as McDan
iel ha I been the aggressor in all the
trouble he could pay $3 and the coat of
the case.. This he did and was auowed
to go in search of a more appropriate
vehi&le for his next appearance.
Walter Jones, colored, started out
early Monday morning equipped with
what he thought, two very necessary
articles, viz; a revolver and a' quart of
whiskey. During his Tambling he pur
chased a box of blank cartridges and
proceeded to enliven things in his lo
cality by a fusilade of shots. Officer
McDaniel happened along about that
time and Jcnes was piloted toward the
rendezvous of othei celebratora. He
explained things to the Mayor and was
dismissed with a severe. reprimand and
a warning about discharging firearms.'
Emma Cooper, a colored danjsel, who
had bien there before, was the next of
fender. She was charged with (hoot
ing a revolver, but it turned out that
she was on her own premises and she
wls dismissed.
Bob Phillips, colored, called upon a
friend of his while in an intoxicated con
dition and told him tht. his hour had
arrived. However tie friend called the
bluff by going for an officer,' but not
before Pnlllipj had U4d considerable
vile language on other's premises. For
this indeseretion he was taxed with the
cost of the cse.
Taken as a whole there was compara
tively little disorderly conduct during
he holidays and the Mayor felt inclined
South Will Derive Great Benefit
From Distribution of Pealiody
Fund.
New York, Dec. 27 An appeal to
friends of education in America for $1,
000,000 to make the George Peabody
College for Teachers at Nashville Tenn.
a great final memorial to Mr, Peabady's
beneficent service to the South and I he
educational crown of the system of
schools now established in that section
is embadried in a legthy statement from
the trustees of the Peabody Education
Fund issued tonight.
The trustees give notice of having
voted to close the trust pursuant to the
permission given them by the founder
after distributing millions in building
up State systems of public sebools, aid
ing the development of rural schools
and establishing departments of edu
cation in the State universities.
"Since 1865," the statement contin
ues, "the Peabopy Fund has a id ad in
maintaining the Peabody Normal Col
lege at Nashville, Tenn., as the cen
tral and leading normal school for the
South, in closing the trust, the trustees
have undertaken to found as a succes
sor to this the George Peabody College i
for Teachers." !
The statement goos on to explain
that this institution is to be for the I
higher education of teachers through '
out the South.
To this end the trustees have f iven n
sum of $1,000,000. concurrent with gifu
by the State of Tennessee, county 1
Davidson and the city of Nashville, I
amounting to $650,000, and 16 acres of!
land, with buildings, by the Univor:i-'v
of Nashville, In the final dissolution
of the Peabody fund the trustees have
offered to endow the college with ..
additional $500,000, provided that with
in two years from November 1, l'.'li.
the college raises $1,000,000.
"All experts on the subject," the
statement continues, "know that, sueii
a college is the greatest crying d of :
the South today. The Southern States), .
with a courage and self-sacrifice arely
if ever equaled, are devoting every
vear from 35 to 40 ner cent, of the
amount raised by taxation to the edu : I
cation of both races, wisely recognizing
that this is their best hope for tie In
ture. But these sums must go to the
public schools and State institution!.
Much as this central teachers' college
ia needed to do a work which no State
are barred by constitutional limitations
from contribution to its maintenance."
