—? Mrs. Caroline Smith, 56 years old, of 4017 North Eleventh street, died of hy- drophobia at 11 a. m. Monday at the hospital from the effects of bites inflicted on her left hand and right wrist four months and a half ago by a pet fox terrier. She was in convulsions when she was taken to the hospital Sunday night, and her death followed a series of violent paroxysms. Mrs. Smith had five sons and two daughters, most of them grown. Last winter she became very fond of the fox terrier, which belonged to a neighbor, Mrs. Michael Sullivan, and which the children of the neighborhood called “Sport.”’ On the evening of April 14 Mrs. Smith picked up the dog to carry it in from the street. It snapped at her, biting her right wrist and two fingers of her ‘left hand. Her sons, John and Ed Smith, carried the dog to the Angelica Street Police Station, and their mother went to a neighborhood physician, who cauterized the wound. At the police station, according to an official report later made, the dog was tested for rabies by policemen, who of- fered it a drink of water. It broke the “tring by which it was tied, snapped at one of the policeman and ran out be- ' fore it could be caught. Mrs. Smith’s wounds seemed to give no more trouble. Mrs. Smith got a let- ter from City SBacteriologist Harris, who had been notified of the occurrence by the police. He asked her to call at the city hospital;for Pasteur treatment, but she thought it unnecessary to do so, Last week she began to have severe pains in her arms. She and her daugh- ter, Mrs. C. Opel of 406 Worth, Twen- tieth street, thought the paina due to rheumatism, and it was not until Sun- day that they seriously connected the new trouble with the old injury. By that time she was beyond help. The City Bactertologist said that if his advice had been followed, the develop- merit of rabies could probably have been averted.

I WOMAN RUNS AUTO OVER JUDGE’S HAT Judge Eugene McQuillin of the Cir- cult Court believes a woman automo- bilist deliberately destroyed his $8 Bang- kok straw hat while he was on the way from his home in the St. Regis Apart- ments to the Municipal Courts Building, Monday. The Judge was in an automobile with Recorder: Charies F. Joy and C. B. a Nicholson wher his hat blew off, at Lindsll and Newstead avenues. A wom- an in an electrit coupe was driving west on Lindell boulevard. As Judge McQuillin told of it on his errival in court, he started back to get the hat but before he could reach it.a passing coupe’ turned. from its course and ran over the hat. A boy’on a huckster wagon followed the coupe and told Judge McQuillin that the number on its State license tag was 70% and that a woman was running it. | nuon Records at the city hall show that this license was issued to 8.

Virginia, 7 years old, from _ infantile paralysis, Dr. Robert Edward Wilson of 4295 Lindell boulevard, in his grief declared he would give a fortune to any physician who would save the lives of the other three Wilson children, who are all ill of the same disease, at the Wilson country home, ‘‘The Oaks,’’ Pat- tonville, Mo. “T will give $10,000 to the man who can save my children,’”’ was Dr. Wil- son's cry after his daughter’s death The scene in the little girl’s room was so touching just before her death, Sat- urday night, that Dr. Wilson was fran- tic and’‘two other physicians who had been in attendance were so touehe:l they had to go out of the room. Bit ecwsare eee for Virginia’ s funeral, to

Two other nurses were caring for the baby, Grace, 2 years old, and her sis- ter, Ellen Marie, 11. The older girl apparently is recovering but little Grace, who was the first to de Stricken by the disease, is in a serious condition, her attendants say. Virginia was-ill only four days.

These differences are usually based on personal feelings and fomented by jeasously, but know that this is not the case with Mrs. Kreis- mann, “I cannot believe that fault should be found with President Crawford, because he has worked conscientiously for the good of the club. He was averse to accepting the position at the last elec- tion, but he was pursuaded to continue in directing the affairs. Some members of the society do not enthuse over Mr. Zach, but I have found no deep-seated dissension based on the continuation of his services. “I hope Mrs. Kreismann will recon- sider the matter and withdraw her res- ignation.”’ ; “Plans Are Well Made.” Mrs. Philip N. Moore, a member of the board, said that she had not heard of the resignation of Mrs. Kreismann. “The plans for this season's entertain- ments seemed to me to be well made,”’ Mrs. Moore told a Post-Dispatch re- porter. “I am ‘surprised that Mrs. Kreismafin should resign. She has been @ faithful worker, and if she has in fact submitted her resignation I am sure she has a good reason to do so. “IT have not received a call for a meeting to consider such a withdrawal and hope Mrs. Kreismann will recon- sider before such a meeting is called. There are no dissensions within the so- ~tlety concerning its management that I know of. We seemed to be getting aiong splendidly. We have all worked hard and hoped that the public would appreciate our efforts. “There must be some mistake about internal factional strife.

Democratic Nominee Tells +. Buffalo Labor Day Cele- brators Progressive Plat- form Legalizes Monopoly ‘and Permits Capital to Take Workers’ Liberty. ~ ASSAILS COMMISSION AND MINIMUM WAGE ‘Saye-the Great’ Democratic i: | Thinkers Hold Monopoly | Should Be Destroyed and » Promises They Will Not s ‘By Associated Press. ‘ BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 2.—Gov. ' ‘Woodrow Wilson today analyzed the “third party platform in its relation to ‘the laboring man. The occasion of his _— “apeech was a Labor day celebration un- der the auspices of the United Trades and Labor Council. , Tt was the first expression from the ‘Democratic candidate on the merits of the progressive platform. The Governor ‘said that while on the one hand was tod/™ be found “warm sympatby with p © Pe ARE A DF ED: gt ich Man’ S sK nowledge of Telegraphy Wins a Bride : tically every project of social better a «ment,” that part was merely ‘‘a proc-; © ; Jamation of sympathy,” while the rea) E Gaderean lay elsewhere ‘‘where the tariff a and the trusts are spoken of.” ke ‘ The Governor assailed the minimum os. {wage idea, declaring that employers ‘would take e-tasion to bring their wage wcale as nearly as they could down to ‘the level. of the minimum permitted ‘in the law. ; Assatis Federal Commission, * With the idea of a Federal commis- » sion to regulate monopoly, the Governor ~ ‘took erfiphatic issue. He declared the Pplan_suggested not only would legalize ‘monopoly, but also would give the chief employers of the country a “tremendous “authority behind them.”’ “What the employers do will have .the license of the Federal Gevern- ‘ment,’ said Gov. Wilson. He pointed _out that it always had been the policy of “the Masters of Consolidated In- ‘dustries” to undermine organized “labor in a great many ways and that 7 of Federal control as advocat- the new party “systematically - rdinates workingmen to monop- elies,” and “looks strangely like eco- | mastery over the very lives i ik.

I have searched his program very thor- oughly for an indication of what he ex- pects to do in order to see to it that a larger proportion of this ‘prize’ money gets into the pay envelope, and I have found only one suggestion. — “There is a plank in the program which speaks of establishing a minimum, or living wage, for women workers, and i suppose that we may assume that the to be confined in his application to women only. Perhaps we are justified in assuming that the third party looks forward to the general establishment by law of a minimum wage. It is very likely, I take it for granted, that if a minimum wage were established by law the great majority of employers would take occasion to bring their wage scale as nearly as might be ‘own to the level of that minimum, and it would be very awkward for the working man to resist that process successfully, because it would be dangerous to strike against the authority of the Federal Govern- ment. “Moreover, most of his employers, at any rate, practically all of the most powerful of his employers, would be wards and proteges of that very government, which is the mas- ter of us all. The Government is to set up a commission whose duty it will be not to check or defeat it, but merely to regulate it under rules which it is itself to frame and de- velop. Se that the chief employers will have this tremendous authority behind them; what they do they will have the lHcense of the Federal Gov- ernment to do, including the right to pay the wages approved by the Gov- ernment. “And it is worth the while of the workingmen of the country to recall what the attitude toward organized la- bor has been of these masters of con- solidated !ndustries, whom the Federal Government is to take under its patron- age as well as under its control.

It is like coming out of a close and stifling air into the open, where we pcan breathe fully again and see the free spaces of the heavens abdéve us, to turn away from such 4 program— the identical program suggested to committees of Congress -by Mr. Gary and Mr. Perkins. The great Demo- cratic thinkers of the country offset and oppose such a platform. Demo- cratic leaders turn away from any plan to legalize monopoly and give a Federal commission leave to say how much of it there should be, be- cause they know exactly what that would mean. What they propose is the restoration of freedom. What we need is the regulation of competi- tion and the prosecution of what has created monopoly. When you have regulated it you have in effect re- stored it.” WILSON GAINS SEVEN POUNDS IN WEIGHT Candidate Finds He Has Become That Much Heavier Since Nomination. NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Gov. Wilson weighed himself at Seagirt yesterday on the scale in the station and found himself tipping the beam at 177 pounds. “I’ve gained seven pounds since my nomination at Baltimore,” said the Gov- ernor, laughing. ‘‘and I. guess I'll have to go Into training. I used to keep down to 156. The gain has been only recent.” When he reached New York the Gov- ernor ‘went to the University Club and left at 11:35 for Buffalo, where he will deliver two speeches, one at the Labor day celebration of the United Trades and Labor Council and the other at a citl- zens’ mass meeting in the evening. He will algo attend a reception tendered by Norman E. Mack, former chairman of the National Committee, and then will return direct to Trenton to attend to some business Tuesday morning. COUPLES ARE CONSTANT NEWPORT, R. I., Sept. 2—Among the most interesting members of the Newport colony are six very well- knowa persons who have come to be known as “The three constant couples.”’ They are Harold G. Vanderbilt and Kleanora Sears, Herman Oelrichs and Margaret Andrews, and Maurice Roche, son of Mrs. Burke Roche, one of the handsomest bachelors here, and Inez Milholland, the militant suffragette. While no engagements have been an- nounced each couple has been seen to- gether virtually every day atid evening. Mre.

HUSBAND PURSUES Mrs. Nora Sellers, Victim of Strange Somnambulism, Found in Street in Collapse. IN NIGHT CLOTHING ONLY Trifling Incident in Daytime, Brings on Prequent Attacks, Always at Night. Harassed by nightmares, in which she dreams of being pursued by her husband, from whom she is separated, Mrs. Nora Sellers, 22 years old, of 8904A North Grand avenue, has become the victim of a strange form of som- nambulism, which causes her to go long distances at night, clad in her sleep- ing garments. Fear of her husband and the exertion of running produce, she says, «mn each of her trips, a hemorrhage of tre lungs which leaves her in a state cf cvi- lapse when she is stopped and awak- ened. Such trifles as a scene in a motion picture show or a sentence recalling her former life in Topeka, where her hus- band is, weigh on her mind, she relates, until she goes to sleep and then send her forth in terror to run from the imaginary peril. Feet Wounded in Runaing. In an extremely nervous state, and suffering from wounds inflicted in run- ning barefooted through the streets, Mrs. Sellers, Monday, told a Post-Dis- patch reporter about her strange afflic- tion. Mrs. Sellers is residing temporarily at the Grand avenue address with her aunt, Mrs. Fannie Pyeatt. Her last crip began at the Pyeatt home about 11:30 p. m., Saturday, and ended near- ly two hours later when Sergt. Fleming caught and aroused her at Linton and Florissant avenues, about a mile f:om Mrs. Pyeatt’s residence. When stopped by Fleming, Mrs. Sel- lers was almost exhausted. A ialge hound, belonging to the Pyeatts, went with her on the trip. “Just after going to sleep,” said Mrs. Sellers, “I dreamed that the doorbell rang and that my husband came in when the door was opened. As soon as I looked down the stairs and saw him I ran dowa the back stairs to get away from him. “I dreamed that I floated over the back fence and started running. My husband pursued me and “(finally I dreamed that he put his head over my shoulder and I felt his hot breath on my chin and breast. At last he caught me. I fought him and woke up to find a policeman holding me.” Unlocks Doors in Sleep. Sergt. Fleming took Mrs. Sellers to the office of Dr. W. C. Lewis, 3004 Filoris- sant avenue, and later to her. aunt’s home. In order to get out of the Pyeatt home, Mrs. Sellers had to un- lock..two..doors. Her aunt and her cousin were sleep and did not detect her absence until she had been gore a long time. ““T began walking in my sleep about a year ago, just after leaving my husband the fourth time,’’ said Mrs. Sellers. ‘I got out of my room in Topeka ons night and ran five blocks through the streets before I was caught. “A month ago I went to the home of my grandmother on a farm near Bland, Mo.. While there I received a letter from a friend, telling me that my hus- band had been married again. That night I left tke house in my night clothes, ran two miles into Bland and fell on the street, exhausted by the run and a hemorrhage. “T came to St. Louis a week ago last Tuesday. The next night I went to a moving picture show with my cousin and saw a film in which a skeleton was one of the actors. On retiring I dreamed that a skeleton with my husband’s face Was after me. “IT ran to Fairground Park and was dimly conscious that I was approach- ing the lake. I wanted to jump into the water, as I can swim and my husband can't. At the edge of the lake, he overtook me. J fought him until T awoke and found myself in charge of a park watchman.”’ Struggles With Policeman. Two nights later Mrs. Sellers, after attending a band concert, dreamed that her husband, in’ a’ bandmaster’s uni- form, was pursuing her. She ran that time to the far side of Fairground Park, where the police stopped her and aroused her after she had struggled with them several minutes. They sent her to the city hospital, where she re- mained until last Thursday. Mrs. Sellers says she believes the hem- orrhages are caused by three pins which she swallowed several years ago. It is her theory that they are working their way out through her chest and have cut the lungs so that they bleed’ whenever her circulation is accelerated by emo- tion or exercise. Mrs. Sellers was married three years ago. Her husband, she said, failed to provide for her. In a letter written to Mrs, Pyeatt and received by her Saturday morning, Sell- ers announced that he would come ‘to St. Louis as soon as possible and get his wife. This caused the latest dream, Mrs. Sellers said.

She shot him in the left side with a revolver, killing him almost instantly. He was 16 years old. | Following the story the negro girl told at the inquest the county authorities de- clared they would not prosecute her. The Coroner’s jury, after hearing the evidence, decided that the shooting was accidental, and that the girl was justi- fied even if she had shot him deliber- ately. The girl told the juny that she was alone at her grandmother’s home, iron- ing in the bedroom, when the Washing- ton boy entered and attacked her. She had been an invalid for several years, she said, and was barely able to defend herself. Girl Tells of Attack, “He came in with a wild look in his eye and attacked me," the girl testi- fied. “I struggled with him for several minutes. He overpowered me, and as I fell backward my arm was accidentally thrown into a trunk, in which my grand- mother had placed her revolver. She had cleaned and loaded ths revolver a few days before because there had been a& robbery in Elmwood, and she wished to be prepared for burglars. “I clutched the revolver in my hand. When Washington saw it he released his hold on me, and I warned him to leave, Imstead he sprang at me and tried to get the revolver. I fought with him until my strength was ex- hausted. I did not know whether the revolver was really loaded. I know that he had hold of it, and I felt my grip slackening on it and was sinking into unconsciousness when I ‘heard a report.: Commended for Pluck. “I opened my éyes and saw Frank drop to the floor. Not knowing wheth- er he had been killed I went to Olivette and telephoned to Dr. Eggers. When he came he said Frank lived but a few minutes after he was shot. I do not know wherther I shot hom, or whether he accidentally discharged the revolver in his struggle to get hold of it.” Constable Bode, after an investigation, refused to arrest the girl before ths inquest. Justice Werremeyer, who con- ducted the inquest, said the girl's clothes were torn and that she was in- jured when he first saw her an hour after the killing. He commended her for her pluck in defending herself. DAUGHERTY’S BODY _ HELD FOR AUTOPSY ates Planned After ingur- ance Companies, Who Issued, $20,000 in Policies, In- vestigate. Pending any investigation insurance companies desired to make, ths body of John W. Daugherty, who died a week ago in a berth on a Big Four train at the Indianapolis Union Station, has been kept at the Wagoner undertaking room, 8621 Olive street. It was stated Monday at the Wagoner place that Daugherty’s body would be cremated late in the af- ternoon, é Attorney Thomas T. Fauntleroy, rep- resenting the widow, formerly the Coun- tess de Brie, said that he knew nothing about the order to cremate the body. He said that, by his advice, the body was held to give insurance companies in which Daugherty held policies an oppor- tunity to make an autopsy. So far no autopsy. has been asked. Daugherty, who was in the insurance business in St. Louis, is said to haves carried about $20,000 on his life. On the day after his death his two brothers obtained letters of administration on his estate. At that time it was stated that the estate was not more than $1000. He was married Aug. 12 in New York and his widow is staying at the Jefferson Hotel. Funeral services were held at the Wagoner Chapel Wednesday under the auspices of Tuscan Masonic Lodge. FIRE IN AN ORGAN LOFT Damage in West Presbyterian Church Put at $1000. Fire in the organ loft of the West Presbyterian Church, discovered at 11 & m. Monday, was extinguished after damage estimated at $1000 had been done to the organ and the building. Richard Gartland, a young man living near the church building at Maple and Maryville avenues, saw the smoke rising from the roof and gave the alarm. The pastor, the Rev, Francis W. Russell, is out of the city. Miss Carolyn Allen of Webster Groves is organist.

BLISS RECORDS IN HAND Books of Treasurer Said to Shww Standard Oil’s $100,000 Contribution. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—William Loeb Jr. and George B. Cortelyou, both former private secretaries to Col. Roosevelt when he was President; Wil- liam Randolph ‘Hearst and John D. Archbold have been asked to appear before the Senate committee investigat- ing campaign contributions when it re- sumes hearings late this month. Efforts are being made to find the men who handled campaign funds for the recent presidential primaries. The books kept by Cornelius N. Bliss as treasurer of the Republican national campaign fund of 1904 are now in pos- session of George R. Sheldon, the present treasurer of the National Committee. They were turned over to him in 1908, when he succeeded Bliss as campaign treasurer. Archbold Gift on Record. These books contain entries which show $100,000 was received by Bliss from John D. Archbold, as vice-pres- Lident of the Standard Oil Co., and that the contribution was received and spent before the letter warning against the acceptance of any contri- bution from Standard Oil and its re- turn, tf such had been received, was written by Theodore Roosevelt to George B. Cortelyou, the national chairman. Senator Penrose is aware of the ex- istence of these books and of the fact that they are in Treasurer Sheldon’s possession. It is understood that Shel- don will be asked to produce them be- fore the Clapp commission at its next session, and he will do so under sub- pena, though he would not volunteer to offer the books because of his of- ficial relation to the Republican party. Charles H. Duell, who was assistant treasurer of the Republican campaign in 1904, said that while he had no per- fgsonal knowledge of the Standard Oil contribution, he was sure a record of it would be found in the books now in Sheldon’s possession. Sheldon ac- knowledged last night that he had the books, but declined to discuss the mat- ter any further. After he had seen the printed receipt of the Republican National Committee for $100,000 from the Steel Trust and the acknowledgment of the receipt by Stotesbury, Col. Roosevélt changed his mind as to his first recéllection regard- ing the affair. Saturday night he thought it must be a mistake or that the receipt referred to an individual con- tribution by Andrew Carnegie. ‘TIT see that could not have been cor- rect,”” he said last night at Oyster Bay. “Tt appears that such a contribution must have been received. I have never said the Campaign Committee did not receive contributions from corporations. In fact, I presume there were many others. Regarding this particular con- tribution I can say that I had no per- sonal knowledge of its receipt.” Roosevelt called attention to a report in which James Boyle was quoted as having said that he had heard President McKinley assert the Spanish-American war might have been prevented but for Roosevelt’s influence. “I might as well confess,” laughed Roosevelt, “that I am the man who blew up the Maine and the man who in- troduced the serpent into the Garden of Eden.” He said he had read a report that Ja- cob F. Schiff had said, “A vote for Taft is a vote for Roosevelt.” POLICEMAN SHOOTS SELF IN WIFE’S VIEW Louis Andreas Apparently in , Good Spirits; Recently Suf- fered Breakdown. Capt. Wilson, commanding the Mag- nolia Avenue Station, said Monday he was. unable to account for the action of Louis Andreas, a patrolman attached to that station, who shot himself in the right temple at his home, 1309 South Boyle avenus, Sunday afternoon, inflict- in a wound which city hospital physi- clans said likely would prove fatal. Andreas shot himgelf in the presence of his wife, Emma, and their three chil- dren, Grace, 5 years old; Charles, 3 and »Lilian, 1. He had made preparations to take the children to a summer gar- den and had been apparently in the best of spirits. Returning from a chat with a neighbor he declared to his wife that he was tired of life. Mrs. Andreas followed him to the front room, where he picked up a _ revolver and fired a bullet Into his brain. Early in July Andreas suffered a slight nervous breakdown and was sent to the city hospital. He was discharged in a few weeks, apparently as well as ever. Capt. Wilson said Andreas re- cently was greatly worried by a slight fines of Mrs. Andreas. “I wouldn’t want to lose her,” he frequently re- marked, according to vapt. Wilson. ts Bros. on credit Battieship Alabama to Dock. NEW YORK, Sept. 2—The battleship Alabama is at the Brooklyn Navy yard today, preparing to go inte drydock.

ITH the exception of two or three somewhat elever character-types 0% of criminal life, “A Romance of the Underworld,” in which Holbrook Blinn opened the Shubert’s new season _Stmday night, is a weak play of much Muster and little actual achievement in ma. +The pity of it is that Holbrook Blinn himself, an actor of genuine power, finds his talents utterly wasted in the role of m McDermott, a newspaper man ned lawyer, who saves the heroine’s brother from being sent to Sing Sing éh a false charge of bribe-taking “framed up” by a rascally contractor in revenge for the refusal of his love by the heroine. This new role of Mr. Blinn’s playing i« made so sheerly puppet-like in its sub- ordination to the mechanism and de- tailed operation of the criminal law that the star walks through the piece more fh the adpect of a wooden man manip- ulated by marionette-wires than a yital human being of natural initiative base‘ pon the emotion of the moment.

On account of the donna’s illness—notwithstanding t she essayed the role—and the ex- theme heat, which affected the players Be well as the audience, the play lacked over of yim it may have had under Siore favorable conditions.

Following precedent here established of adding © popular tities.we may soon expect to ee “Uncle Tom's Cabin Unroofed” or “Hamiet Stung ‘| Prince Danilo is the leading male role im this new opera, as in the original widow. He sings in rather tame fashion if going back to Maxim's. That is about 1 there is to the new play that is re- ndful of “The Merry Widow.” Prin- Vanna has none of the dash and thfulnees that characterized the fa role in its predecessor, and one Metens in vain for something that might | e in part, at least, a substitute for waltz that made “The Merry Wid- ow” famous. ‘shat Adelaide Norwood is popular in ‘#t.

The miniature circus parade in the sec- ond act, with its Shetland ponies, came), sacred cow, amimal cages and _ real clowns, adds a charm to the story built around show people and amusement park attractions. The parade is kept moving with such precision across’ the stage that the audience is forced to wonder where there is room behind the curtain for all the animals and para- phernalia to be handled. Jamet Priest is given an opportunity to display delightful simplicity and sweetness in the part of a young gir! attending a fashionable boarding school. When she discovers that her father’s fortune has been lost and that she can- not afford to remain at school, she re- tarns to her father’s friends on the Pike at a pretentious summer garden. When one of the attractions, a mechan- ical baby doll, elopes and the success of the opening show is endangered, the young miss acts the part of the doll and brings success. Edward Westfield as “Frederick Mul- len,” the showman, deserves special mention, and is a competent assistant to Miss Priest in presenting the ingenious situations. Some of the parts are presented a lit- tle crudely, but will be whipped into shape as the week progresses. When the. play leaves St. Louis for its road tour next week it bids fair to prove a Secided success as a juvenile musica! comedy offering. ALASKA-SIBERIA PICTURES AT GARRICK.

The artist’s mother, a matron of great fam- ily pride, eventually discovers the model is a daughter of an old schoolmate and she consents to a marriage that puts the romance on its happy and proper way. Naturally such a plot called occasion- ally for the strongest sort of dramatic intensity and in this respect the com- pany did not meet the requirements. Many of the scenes were marred by overacting. Henry King, as Louis Neville, the artist; Dorothy Stanton as Valerie West. the model, and Kathryn Stevens as Rita Tevis, Valerie’s good friend who had learned the penalty of disdaining con- ventions for love's sake, were the prin- cipals. Some of Miss Stevens’ work was genuinely good.

He left home to g0 to a ball game and his mother, fearing that he would go to the river, went to the game to see if he was there. Finding him there, she went home satisfied. A few minutes later Marvin, with sev- eral companions, went to the river. He was trying to swim near the east shore when he stepped into a hole, and was drawn under water.

| SAYS TAFT’S VETOES THWARTED A DESPOILED PEOPLE Nebraskan Writes Executive Tariff Disapproval Is Relic of Monarfnical Unwillingess to Recognize Capacity of the People for Self- Government—“‘Seems Certain Popular Ve- to Will Terminate Him.” a By WILLIAM J. BRYAN. sc abahiatien 1912, by the Central Press Association.) LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 2. RESIDENT TAFT has used the veto power with a freedom that has seldom been known. The veto is in itself a mild re- flection upon representative government—a relic of monarch- ical unwillingness to recognize the capacity of the people for self-gov- ernment. Kings when they could no longer resist the demand of the people for a voice in t!¥ir own government yielded grudgingly, and; yielding sought to \Jister up their declining power by-reserving af veto. This reserve power of veto, however, is used with decreasing frequency in monarchical countries. It is only on rare occasions that a King of the present day would dare to interpose a veto to anything thine the people really desired. “ Even the veto preserved to colonial governors over a subject people is more nominal than real ,and is only employed on extraordinary occasions, tag is ever the source of discontent. ' 5 In the establishment of our govern- . tion ment we went a step further and qualified the veto of the executive. It is mot final or conclusive; it mere- ly delays action, compels reconsider- ° ation and sometimes requires the concurrence of a larger percentage of the legislative body. It usually requires two-thirds\of both houses to override the exedutive veto—that is the rule in nag a rae Govern- ment and in most the states, al- though in some of fhe states a bare majority is sufficient. For Exceptional Only. Most of our p have rec- ognized that the veto ‘power is in- tended for exceptional cases only, and have used it sparingly and only that the measure ' gome constitutional _mident Taft, hovwever, bas deemed it his duty to put his jadgment against the judgment of Congress wherever he and Congress did not agree, and that, too, when, ‘the Senate being Republican, no measure of a purely partisan nature could reach him. To make the case agai~ st his vetoes even stronger it més » added that several of them have ‘“ked legislation since it has becom arent that his administra- : is wsatisfactory to the whole of the Denocratic party and to more than half of the Republican party. One of his early vetoes was the one in Which he used to delay Arizona’s en- trance into the sisterhéed of states. The people of that Territory had by an over- ‘ whelming majority indorsed a Constitu- Sion, written by their representatives, containing a provision for the recall of officials, including Judges. President Taft is very much opposed to the recall of Judges, so much so that he would not permit Arizona to, come into the Union with that provision In its Con- situation. It is probably the first Instance in which a President put his personal opin- ion upon an immaterial! question—for his veto, while delaying, could not prevent the restoration of the recall provision— against the opinion of both houses and ’ @gainst the wishes of the people of a territory about to become a state. Suc" an act upon the part of a King would be Hkely to result in the withdrawal »f the veto power, and President Taft's ue of the veto has stimulated more 4i_sussion than we have had heretofore as to the wisdom of permitting an ex- ecutive veto. Cites Veto of Court Bill. The President also vetoed a Dill €@bolishing the Interstate Commerce F 2 i Boe 4 ; Court—an act for which no reason- able excuse can be given. We have an Interstate Commerce Commission we have a Supreme Court to Ittigants can appeal. “The Presideyt, however, sets his judgment against this demand and the court must remain until its oppo- mente can secure a two-thirds major- ity in both houses or until another ; , @xzeéutive enters the White House. _ | | fhe President also used the veto to prevent the establishment of a ' fixed term for persons in the civil : t a ¢ % ‘ . nm! ” : : € 4 affect immediately a large | The President's tac’ ever, will cause more | felem than the othe number, a and thet effect can be more easily - getimated in dollars. He has seen fit _ te take the side of the tax eater the taxpayer; he has laid to the protective principle, tted the necessitn for a re- of the tariff in the interest of it had been made farcical by ation given to it by his the revision would PROBABLY be downward. When Congress met, the beneficiaries of the tariff proceeded to prepare a revision that disappoint- , ed all who had expected an honest effort to reduce the burdens upon the people, and the President maintained a dignified silence while his party’s representatives in Congress betrayed the public. Toward the close of the tariff debate, and when it was too late to do any good, he expressed an opinion upon a few items, but he did not live up to his opportunities and responsibilities. His repudiation by a majority of his party is due very largely to his refusal to throw his influence upon the consumer’s side of the tariff question, But, instead of being admonished or instructed by popular condemna- tion, he has used the veto power to obstruct every effort at tariff reduc- tion. He has given a variety of ex- cuses. He has resolved every doubt in favor of those who have converted government favor into a business asset and capitalized unjust tariff schedules, Ninety millions of people groan beneath the burdens laid upon them by the collectorg of tariff tribute while the. President hunts up excuses for staying the hand of relief. The President's habit of commend- ing tariff reform in general while he obstructs it in each particular case where it is attempted recalls the ad- vice given by a retiring agnostic to his son who was succeeding him in business. He told him that as a mat- ter of policy he should subscribe to every church that was to be built, but that he should fight the location and thus delay the call for the sub- scription. The cartoonist might with propriety represent the President as keeping the pass alone and, with his veto for a sword, preventing a de- spoiled people from attacking the tariff barong: ‘who have been gather- ing from them through iniquitous legisiation—the very tariff barons who supplied the campaign funds. But there is some consolation in the fact that the people also have a veto power and can, by withholding their votes from the President, ter- minate his power to obstruct their will. That they will do it seems as certain as anything political can be. “ACTOIDS” Act Actively “ACTOIDS” For Biliousness “ACTOID BALM” For Eczema RURAL CARRIERS TO GET BIGGER PAY Salaries Will Be Increased and Vacations of 15 Days Granted. WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. —Under authority conferred by the postoffice appropriation bill, Postmaster-Gen- eral Hitchcock today increased the salaries of rural letter carriers on standard routes from $1000 to $1100 a year, thus affecting 30,000 men, with proportionate increases to car- riers on shorter routes. The order will become effective Sept. 30. This will mean an increased disbursement of $4,000,000 a year. It is the second salary advance for rural carriers made in the last four years. The increase provides rural carriers adequate compensation for additional burdens to be imposed by the parcels post system, effective Jan, 1. Hitchcocks has directed also that rural meil carriers on the completion of 12 months’ service be granted 15 days leave with pay. This will re- quire an additional $80,000 a year to pay subcarriers, gaiteens ng Sn eocalt St Lottie, Cait ns 3 Ask your grocer, He has a gold medal for you for 6 cents.

POLIGE AND FIRE ALARM LINEMIEN UN WAGE STRIKE Increase in Pay Asked—Superin- tenderlt Says Appropriation Is Limited. Nine linemen, six helpers, three fore- men and one inside man, employed by the City Police and Fire Alarm Tele- graph, struck Monday for a wage in- crease amounting, in the case of the linemen, to $1 a day. The linemen now get $3 a day. The men’s ultimatum was presented about 10 days ago to George McD. Johns, superintendent of the telegraph. He re- plied that the limited appropriation available would not permit an increase in wages, and informed the men of this fact again when the time for the walk- out came. *“There is very little work to do now,” said Johns, ‘‘and I believe we will be able to take care of it with our remain- ing inside men and the emergency au- tomobile crews. I will engage other men, however, if possible, unless the strikers return to work.” Johns’ office has charge of the police call boxes and telephones, all fire alarm apparatus and the municipal telephones connecting city institutions. The office maintains a Kind of open shop policy, some of the workers being union men and others nonunion. The employes of this department struck for a wage in- crease about two years ago, but lost the strike and returned to work in two months. TRAIN KILLS MAN; , GIRL IS INJURED Michael O. McKee, 25 years old, was struck and killed by a Baltimore & Ohio passenger train in East St. Louis at 1:30 a. m. Monday, and Miss Amanda Walker, 18, his companion, was prob- ably fatally injured. The couple had attended a dance at Eagle Park and de- cided to walk to their homes in East St. Louis after missing an owl car. As they reached Ninth’ street they heard the train approaching. McKeo pushed his companion from the track to what he thought: was a switch track adjoining. By mistake the couple had Stepped froma switch onto the main track. An instant later the locomotive struck them and hurled both down an embankment. McKee was killed outright. Miss Walker lay unconscious beside the track two hours before: she regained her senses and staggered to her home, Her left arm was broken and she was in- jured internally. Friends went to the Spot and found McKee's body. McKee was a fireman for the Terminal Rail- road Association. Se.

ROW OVER FIRECRACKER Wife of Druggist, Where Explo- sive Which Caused Arrest Was Bought, Complained. Thomas Donworth, marshal of Webster Groves, was found not guilty Saturday night of a charge of disturbing the peace of Mrs; M«r) V. Williams, wife of W. E. Williams, a druggist. He was tried before the Court of Impeachment, com- posed of the Board of Aldermen and Mayor Biederman. The court took the case up Thursday night, but held no session Friday night. The city hall was crowded when the final session was opened. The inquiry was’ the sequel to two other attempts to have Donworth de- clared guilty of the charge. The trouble Gates from June 28, when Donworth ar- rested George Rodwse for shooting fire- crackers in a public street shortly be- fore midnight. The firecrackers, it was shown at the trial, were bought at the Williams drug store on Gore avenue and were exploded not far from there. When Donworth found Mrs. Williams in the street—-near the store and asked her who discharged the firecrackers, an altercertion followed and Donworth, accarding to his testi- mony, called Mrs. Williams a liar. She had him summoned before Police Magistrate Belding the next day, but Donworth took a change of venue and the case was set for trial at Clayton, July 12. Mrs. Williams withdrew the case when informed by Prosecuting At- torney Mills that conviction virtually was impossible, but she filed the same charge with tne Webster Groves Police Commission, composed of four members of the Board of Aldermen. The com- mission found Donworth guilty, and he appealed. There has been trouble between Don- worth and the Willlamses ever since last January, when Williams, on Don- worth’s testimony, was fined $50 on a charge of displaying improper post cards in his drug store.

ROOSEVELT DENIES ~ PENROSE IN 18,000 WORDS CHARGES

Colonel, in Letter to Sena te .. Against Limit on Campaign Contributions and Reit- erates He Knew Nothing Communications to Parker and Sherman. Investigators, Declares of Standard Oil Gift—Cites |

OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept. 2.—Col. Roosevelt believes his 18,000eword letter fo Senator Clapp, chairman of the Pen- in the Senate, has explained away all of the , Gharges which Penrose and others have made concerning his campaigns and the financing of them. In his long series of denials he took the opportunity to ex- Plain his connection with George W. Ss Perkins of the Harvester Trust citing ‘4 :

what he declared were the only favors Which had been asked of him. “T] want to say of my connection with Mr. Perkins that I have known him about 14 years,” the Colonel wrote. “I have never in my life, directly or indi- rectly, asked him for a contribution or asked him to assist me in any shape or Way. He has always assisted me and Backed ne up, of his own accord. Un- tii after the statement of Mr. Penrose, in the Senate, I never asked him if he had ever contributed my campaign fund at any time, although I was morally certain that he had done so. Turned Down Bill for Him. “During the 14 years, so far as I remember, he has but twice spoken to me of any matters nm which he was interested. The first time was at the very beginning of our acquaintanca, when I was Governor of New York. He then came to Albany and protested against my signing a certain bill for the limitation of the agyregate amount of insurance that an insurance company could assume. After investigation I came to the conclusion that his protest was just, and refused to sanction the bill. “On the other occasion, he came to me to ask that I consider the report of the Bureau of Corporations as well as that of the Attorney-General before taking final action in the Harvester Trust matter. On both occasions, hoe came to me simply as hundreds of other men of every description have come to me. “I have myself but once asked Mr. Perkins for any favor, and that was a | favor to the public, when I appointed him ohairman of the Palisades Park, ®&gome 12 or 13 years ago, while I was _—_— = = - La Sal il ms

¥ "approval Governor of New York.” Quotes From His Letters. About one-third of the letter is de- voted to ooples of correspondence by Col, Roosevelt, when President, with James S. Sherman, now Vice-President; Senator Bourne and others, and to the reply of President Roosevelt to the made by Alton B. Parker, in that the Republican campaign was financed in large measure by the con- ‘tributions of big corporations. The let- charge against Mr. Penrose was charge. This charge was not he took $25,000 from the Co.j but that at, or about, of this taking while he was ber of the commission of the Senate which was formed to investigate ana ingustrial affairs in the United States, he was in constant communication with Mr. Archbold on the subject, and that he submitted to Mr. Archbold for his in advance a copy of the re- port of the commission. “If these statements are true, of course, Mr. Penrose is unfit to repre- sent the people in the United States 'Genate, and the testimony against him - gharge ‘ws0omsent or knowl “te direct. Apparently, however, the ‘eommittee is investigating not this against Mr. Penrose, which was -@lstained by direct evidence, but Mr. - Penrose’s charge. which was sustained by no evidence at all, and only by the Fepetition of second-hand gossip. “As regards the statement of Mr. Pen- Tose and Mr. Archbold that, with my Mr. Bliss asked the Standard Oil people for $100,000, or any other sum, or received such sum food. them, it is an unquaified false- Says He Forbade It, "7 any request for funds was made the Standard Oi] company, by Bliss, or anyone else connected be = the National Committee in 1904, it not merely done without my knowl- but was done against my express on and prohibition, and in spite of the fact that I was assured that no Tequest has been made, and that no * gueh contribution had been, or would « Be, received. his letters | ‘eS Bre ‘Tn wvelt in of this statement, Col. maaipCos here .

they were very good men, and that their accusers were unworthy and misguided creatures; but he did not make any spe- cific request’ about them as far as I remember nor arrange an interview for them. The only reason I rsmember any- thing about what he said was because, as he had been a Populist and as I had supposed that he was anti-corporation in his feeling, I was a littls surprised > ye a up in behalf of the Stand- ar : “A couple of years later when the De- — of Justice was taking the pre- minary steps for bringing suit to dis- solve the Famtenre Oil Co., Senator Jonathan Bourne on three or four occa- sions brought Mr. Archbold in to see me. Three letters to Senator Bourne were written by me, between the first and last of these interviews, and ex- plain themselves.’’ These letters are as follows: . “‘SAGAMORE HILL, Feb. 23, 1908. “My Dear Senator: As to what you told me the other evening about the Standard Oil people. do you remem- ber that whi any proposals they make will be considered in an en- tirely frank and honorable spirit, yet these proposals must be conditioned upon absolute obedience to the law and must be laid in detail before the eel Pag reget and Frank B. Kel- logge before it’ would be possible for me to express any opinion upon them. I know you understand this, but I want you to be sure that the Stand- ard Oil people do not misunderstand it and de not get the impression that it is by my desire or on my initiative that negotiations have been entered into with them by you, or by anyone. Sincerely yours, her ODORD ROOSEVELT,’” “ “OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 3, 1908. “* ‘My Dear Senator—In my jud, ent, jit is not only a waste of time, but in- advisable to try to carry on the nego- tiations through you as intermediary. Let the Standard Oil lawyers, any or all of them, as Mr. Archbold or Mr. Rocke- feller or anyone else may choose, decide as to the course they wish to follow and then communicate direct with Mr. Kel- logg or the Attorney-General. Sincerely yours, ‘ "THEODORE ROOSEVELT.’ Refers to Hearst Letters. “Mr, Hearst has published much inter- esting and important correspondence of the Standard Oil people, especially Mr. Archbold, with various public men. I have at times criticised Mr. Hearst, but in this matter he has rendered a public service of high importance, and I hope he will publish all letters dealing with the matter which he has in his pos- session. If Mr. Hearst or anybody else has any letter + tage me dealing with Standard Oil affairs, I would be delight- ed to have it published, and if anyone can suggest any question as to any let- ter I have ever written or received on the subject. and will give me the ap- proximate date, I will at once try to look it up and if I can find it, will publish it. “I wish to emphasize the fact that the testimony of Mr. Archbold and Mr. Pen- rose in this matter is an attack on Mr. Bliss, who is dead, and is also unwit- tingly the severest possible reflection: on emselves. ‘Mr. Bliss never asked me for a favor of any. kind and all his — and pri- vate acts, so far as I had knowledge of them, were on the highest plane of just ose honorable dealing. Mr. Bliss never ed me this about the Standard On Co. and never in any way alluded to the Standard Oil Co. to me. I never heard Mr. Archbold’s nams mentioned in connection with Mr. Bliss. But a year or so after the election I heard a re- ert that Mr. Bliss had accepted a con- bution from Mr. Rogers, alleging as bh 8s justification that this was not money from the Standard Oil Co. but from Mr. Rogers personally, Mr. Rogers being an old friend and party associats of his.”’ Col. Roosevelt here quotes a lengthy extract from an interview with Mr. Bliss on the Harriman-Roosevelt con- troversy, published in the New York Herald Dec. 2, 1911, purporting to have bsen given by Bliss a few months be- fore his death. He follows this with a tribute to Mr. Bliss for his services to the party in “irksome, disagreeable and laborious tasks, which bring no rewards but which it is entirely indispengable to have done,” and warmly defends his character. Urges Removal of Penrose. “Mr. Archbold’s testimony,” he con- tinues, “can only mean that Mr. Arch- bold had made his contribution in the hope of ae special con- sideration to which, as a matter of fact, he was not entitled’ that he BEFORE obtaining a loan on diamonds, watches, jewelry or household . furniture visit our office and see what this society is doing te improve conditions under which loans of this character are usu- ally made.

believed that if he had made _ the extra contribution he would have had this special consideration, and that Mr. Bliss thought go, too. “Mr. Penrose says that he, a mem- ber of the National Republican Com- mittee, and a United States Senator, advised Mr. Archbold that it would be a mistake for the Standard Oil Co. not to contribute, and if they did not make liberal contributions they might incur hostility in certain quarters. Surely no more extraordi- nary testimony was ever submitted by a United States Senator under the impression that he was testifying in hig own behalf, It embodies a far worse accusation against him than I ever should have dreamed of making. “This language is precisely the lan- guage that might be used by a black- mailing officer in a big city in ad- vising the kKeéper of law-breaking saloon, or a gambling house, to con- tribute liberally because otherwise he might incur hostility in certain quarters. If this language were proved against the policeman, he would be removed from the police force, amd, as it is admitted by the Senator, he should be removed from the Senate. “The Provisional Committee. will speedily make public the statement of the moneys that were collected and spent in the primary campaign last spring. Since the National Progressive convention the New York committee, as Judge Hotchkiss informs me, has spent about $9000, with which the entire State has been organized. “It is no longer legal to accept con- tributions from corporations. “Aside from this matter of corpora- tions my attitude as to contributions !s precissly what my attitude was in 1904 and will not be changed. I do not draw the line against size and never shall. The conditions I impose are, first that the contributions shall be recsived with- out any kind of promise or obligation, expressed or implied, and second that the money shall be spent in honest fashion and only for legitimate ex- penses. “I have ro sympathy with the pro- posals to limit the contributions to $5000 or $10,000 or any other sum. If the virtue of a party is such that it will weaken if the contribution is over $10,000, it will also weaken if it is under $10,000. It is morally as bad to solicit - et $10 for improper reasons as $10 “To limit contributions to yr 510,000 will be no hardship to a reactionary cause, a Cause championed by the enormous ma- jority of the men who can each contrib- ute to such a sum. But we who fight for the cause of the people as a whole have only a few supporters among the very rich. These few supporters are from the nature of the case idealists, men of the kind who, when their in- terests are arouséd, give generously and without thought of personal return. “I welcoms their contributions, when made in such a spirit; I am honored by their support and receive it as freely and gladly as it is given. *“T shall make precisely the same re- turn to all who contributed and that re- turn is to serve the whole people by abit for social and industrial jus- tice

Committee: E. C. W. ORTMAN 20 DROWN, MANY. MISSING IN FLOODS NEAR PITTSBURGH Houses Topple Into Streets and Women and Children Are Swept Away.

By Associated Press. PITTSBURG, Sept. 2.—Twenty persons are known to have been drowned and many others are missing following 4 series of storms which swept Western Pennsylvania and the Panhandle of West Virginia early today. The Balti- more & Ohio Railroad and the Pan- handle Railroad were badly washed, and it is said days will pass before traffic can be resumed. Through trains were marooned in the night in the flooded districts. Many manufacturing plants ure under water and the property dam- age will be heavy. ‘ Reports from colliers, in the Panhart dle of West Virginia, are that nine per- sons have been drowned there and many more are missing, but the exact loss of life cannot be ascertained until the searching parties along the valley of Hannon’s Creek report. Houses ‘lopple Into Streets. Cherry Valley, a mining town on the creek, was flooded within half an hour after the rain began to fall. Founda- tions of houses were undermined and on which he had taken refuge went

Cannonsburg, Pa., also suffered from the storm, hardly having recovered from @ like experience last week. Chartiers Creek overflowed its banks and swept through the town, flooding the railroad and trolley tracks, and many of the streets. A number of houses were filled with water, but the residents had re- ceived ample warning and hastened to places of safety, but one man who went back to recover valuable papers was crushed in the collapse of his house and a boy fell into the flood when a porch down. A number of children in the commun- ity are among the missing and several men, women and children who had tak- en refuge on the roof of a house on the stream on the edge of Cannonsburg slipped on the shingles and Cisappeared in the flood. Sees Children Swept Away. At Avella, Washington County, Henry Crow’s house was undermined by an ordinarily little stream. Mrs. Crow was badly injured and Crow carried her out, but before he could return for the three children they were swept away. After spending its force south and west of Pittsburg, the storms swung north to Butler County, where great damage was done, but so far as is known no lives were lost. Oil derricks were blown down, small streams flooded and scores of persons spent the night in raijroad cars, held prisoners between washouts.

PENROSE CHARGES IN 18,000 WORDS ‘Colonel, in Letter to Senate Declares Investigators, Against Limit on Campaign Contributions and Reit- erates He Knew Nothing of Standard Oil Gift—Cites Communications to Parker and Sherman. OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept. 2.—Col. Roosevelt believes his 18,00eword letter to Senator Clapp, chairman of the Pen- | -Fose Investigating Committee in the : Benate, has explained away all of the charges which Penrose and others have ' Made concerning his campaigns and the ee ee ee, € ‘Trust matter. On both occasions, financing of them. In his long series of denials he took the opportunity to ex- plain his connection with George W. Perkins of the Harvester Trust citing what he declared were the only favors Which had been asked of him. “I want to say of my connection with Mr. Perkins that I have known him about 14 wears,” the Colonel wrote.. ‘‘I have never in my life, directly or indi- rectly, ed him for a contribution or asked him to assist me in any shape or Way. He has always assisted me and Backed me up, of his own accord. Un- ti after the statement of Mr. Penrose, in the Senate, I never asked him if he had ever contributed my campaign fund at any time, although I was morally certain that he had done so. Turned Down Bill for Him. “During the 14 years, so far as I remember, he has but twice spoken to me of any matters m which he was interested. The first time was at the very beginning of our acquaintanca, when I was Governor of New York. He then came to Albany and protested against my signing a certain bill for the limitation of the agyregate amount of insurance that an insurance company could assume. After investigation I came to the conclusion that his protest Was just, and refused to sanction the bill. “On the other occasion, he came to me to ask that I consider the report of the Bureau of Corporations as well as that of the Attorney-General before taking final action in the Harvester he Came to me simply as hundreds of other men of every description have come to mé. ‘"T have myself but once asked Mr. Perkins for any favor, and that was a ' favor to the public, when I appointed him ohairman of the Palisades Park, ®gome 12 or 13 years ago, while I was : : ~S —s See 7 = E : z ™ g ; Governor of New York.” Quotes, From His Letters. - About one-third of the letter is de- ¥oted to copies of correspondence by Col. Roosevelt, when President, with James 8. Sherman, now Vice-President; Senator Bourne and others, and to the reply of President Roosevelt to the made by Alton B. Parker, in that the Republican campaign was ‘financed in large measure by the con- tributions of big corporations. The let- “The charge against Mr. Penrose was let i i } merely that he took $25.000 from the Standard Oil Co.; but that at, or about, the time of this taking while he was @® member of the commission of the Senate which was formed to investigate he was in constant communication with Mr. Archbold on the subject, and that he submitted to Mr. Archbold for his ' approval in advance a copy of the re- port of the commission. “If these statements are true, of -@ourse, Mr. Penrose is unfit to repre- _@ent the people in the United States ; : ® - Senate, and the testimony against him fe direct.

Y., Sept. 2. OL. ROOSEVELT was up be- : fore daybreak today and by 6 o’clock was off in his au- tomobile for New York, where he was to catch an 8 o’clock train, eastward bound, with Hartford, Conn., as his first stop. His pro- gram called for speeches at Hart- ford and Springfield, although the latter stop was not originally planned. Leaving Springfield late this af- ternoon, Col. Rooseveit’s real jour- ney begins. He turns his back on the East for a_ time, heading straight for St. Louis. From St. Louis he will move North to 8t. Paul and thence on a long tour up and down the Pacific Coast states. His plans will bring him back to Oyster Bay about the middle of October. \ sonal request. He ran the campaign al- most without suggestions from me. I communicated with him occasionally by telephone and generally in writing.’’ Several matters irrelevant to the com- mittee’s inquiry are mentioned by Col. Roosevelt as topics of these letters. He communicated also with Senator Pen- rose, Col. Roosevelt added. One letter from Col. Roosevelt te Senator Penrose dated the day after the 1904 election read: ‘Upon my word! Of all phenomenal returns, the Pennsylvania figures are most phenomenal. I congratulate you and heartily thank you.” Col. Roosevelt continues: “In all my communications with him before or after election I spoke of contributions but once. This was in a letter to him of Oct. 28, 1904, in response to a request of his that I should retain the services of one of his henchmen, named Bunn, of the Philadelphia Postoffice, who had been recommended for removal by the Civil Service Commission because of the collection of political assessments from among his subordinates in the Post- office. My letter ended as follows: “T have no alternative but to direct his removal. I suppose you won't like this, and I am awfully sorry, but I beg you to believe that if it were feasible for me to act in any other way, I would do so; and it is only because I have no other alternative that I must remove Bunn.” Cites Parker and Sherman Letters. Here Col. Roosevelt replies to an al-. lusion in the ‘recent Washington _testi-. mony to Alton B. Parker’s charges in 1904, in reply to this charge, that big corporations had contributed liberally to the Republican campaign d through the solicitation of Cortelyou. Also, Col Roosevelt includes the letter he wrote to James S. Sherman, Oct. 8, 1906, in. which he reviewed at length the Réosevelt-Harriman controversy ae the $260,000 contribution of the late H. Harriman in 1904. O rhis letter, which was published after it was written, contained correspond- ence between Roosevelt and Harriman and characterized Harriman’s statement that Roosevelt requested him to raise $250,000 as “a deliberate and willful un- truth; by rights it should be charac-} terized by, an even shorter and more ugly word.” “g includes the letter written by Col. Roosevelt, then meemueent, to Harriman, Oct. 14, 1904, In which Roosevelt said “Now, my A aoe sir, A and I are prac- tical men,” as several other letters bearing S aheualy on the issue. Col Roosevelt's letter to Senator Clapp then continues: “This letter was written in Mr. Harriman’ s lifetime, and neither was contradicted then nor can be con- tradicted now. Mr. Loeb, then my pri- vate secretary, heard my conversation with Mr. Harriman and can testify about it. Mr. Harriman never even discussed with me giving gt to the National Committee, and never spoke to him about it or re- quested a dollar from him. ‘tie asked me to intercede vo Mr. Bliss and Mr. Cortelyou to get money for him and Mr. Odell In their state campaign, Mr. b heard him make the request, and by my @irec- tion transmitted the request to Mfr Rliss and Mr. Cortelyou over the tel- ephone, as I did myself later. Warning to Senator Dick. “In my letters to Mr. Cortelyou during the campaign the only allu- sion that I can find to campaign: con- tributions is in one in which [I tell him that I have heard a rumor tha Senator Dick of Ohio has been col- eae ag nioney from officeholders and that if so he must be warned to stop or he will get into trouble “T communicated with Mr. Bliss very infrequently and never made al- lusion to contributions in any letter that I wrote him, or any conversa- tion I had with him. From Mr. Bliss, as from Mr. Cortelyou, I received the explicit statement that no promise had been made and no obli ion en- tered into, directly or indirectly, in connection with any contribution that had been received, or would be en- tered into in connection with any contribution that might be received in the future. “T have never discussed the question of contributions with Mr. Perkins save in connection with discussing the acou- sations brought before your y enamide. I have never, directly or indirectly, asked him for a contribution, and I di = not, so far as I can remember, ask a human being for a contribution either while I was running for President or for Vice-President or wenbow the recent primary or since the recent primary. | “Mr. “Archbold has alluded to his visit made a year or so after the —_ to me in company with Mr. Mr. and Mr, Archbold me + yg Beg not present at the interview.

The only reason I rsmember any- thing about what he said was because, as he had been a Populist and as I had supposed that he was anti-corporation in his feeling, I was a littls surprised at his turning up in behalf of the Stand- ard Oil. ‘“‘A couple of years later when the De- a of Justice was taking the pre- minary steps for bringing suit to dis- solve the Standard Oil Co., Senator Jonathan Bourne on three or four occa- sions brought Mr. Archbold in to see me. Three letters to ‘Senator Bourne were written by me, between the first and last of these interviews, and ex- plain themselves.’’ These letters are as follows: . “ ‘SAGAMORE HILL, Feb. 23, 1908. “My Dear Senator: As to what you told me the other evening about the Standard Oil people, do you remem- ber that whi any proposals they make ‘will be considered in an en- tirely frank and honorable spirit, yet these proposals must be conditioned upon absolute obedience to the law and must be laid in detail before the wire c Stet heen and Frank B.

I know you snderétand this, but I want you to be sure that the Stand- ard Oll people do not misunderstand it and de not get the impression that it is by my desire or on my initiative that negotiations have been entered into with them by you, or by anyone. Sincerely yours, ‘‘TEHDODORE ROOSEVELT,’ ” * “OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 3, 1908. “ ‘My Dear Senator—In my jud ent, it is dot only a waste of time, but in- adyisable to try to carry on the nego- tiations through you as intermediary. Let the Standard Oil lawyers, any or all of them, as Mr. Archbold or Mr. Rocke- feller or anyone else may choose, decide as to the course they wish to follow and then communicate direct with Mr. Kel- logg or the Attorney-General. ‘Sincerely yours, ‘ "THEODORE ROOSEVELT.’ Refers to Hearst Letters. “Mr, Hearst has published much inter- esting and important correspondence of the Standard Oil people, especially Mr Archbold, with various public men. I have at times criticised Mr. Hearst, but in this matter he has rendered a public service of high importance, and I hope he will publish all letters dealing with the matter which he has in his pos- session. If Mr. Hearst or anybody else has any letter from me dealing with Standard Oil affairs, I would be delight- ed to have it published, and if anyone can suggest any question as to any let- ter I have ever written or received on the subject and will give me the ap- proximate date, I will at once try to look it up and if I can find it, will publish t. “TI wish to agree the fact that the testimony of Mr. Archbold and Mr. Pen- rose in this matter is an attack on Mr. Bliss, who is dead, and is also unwit- tingly the severest possible reflection: on themselves. ‘Mr. Bliss never asked me for a favor of any kind and all his blic and pri- vate acts, so far as I had knowledge of them, were on the highest plane of just and honorable dealing. Mr. Bliss never even asked me this about the Standard Ot] Co. and never in any way alluded to the Standard Oil Co. to me. I never heard Mr. Archbold’s nams mentioned in connection with Mr. Bliss. But a year or so after the election I heard a re- ak that Mr. Bliss had accepted a con- bution from Mr. Rogers, alleging as bh 8 justification that this was not money from the Standard Oil Co. but from Mr. Rogers personally, Mr. Rogers being an old friend and party associats of his.”’ Col. sevelt here quotes a lengthy extract from an interview with Mr. Bliss on the Harriman-Roosevelt con- troversy, published In the New York Herald Dec. 2, 1911, pu bsen given by Bliss a few months be- fore his death. He follows this with a tribute to Mr. Bliss for his services to the party in “irksome, disagreeable and laborious tasks, which bring no rewards but which it is entirely indispensable to have done,” and warmly defends his ceharact?2r. Urges Removal of Penrose. “Mr. Archbold’s testimon},” he con- tinues, “can only mean that Mr. Arch- bold had made his contribution in the hope of a ae special con- sideration to which, as a matter of fact, be was not entitled: that he BEFORE obtaining a loan on diamonds, watches, jewelry or household . furniture visit our office and see what this society is doing to improve conditions under which loans of this character are usu- ally made. Provident Loan Society 1135 Olive St. orting to havef LuciLfe POHLMANN. believed that if he ha@ made _ the extra contribution he would have had this special consideration, and that Mr. Bliss thought go, too. “Mr.. Penrose says that he, a mem- ber of the National Republican Com- mittee, and a United States Senator, advised Mr. Archbold that it would be a mistake for the Standard Oil Co. not to contribute, and if they did not make liberal contributions they might incur hostility in certain quarters. Surely no more extraordi- nary testimony was ever submitted by a United States Senator under the impression that he. -was.testifying in hig own behalf. It embodies a far worse accusation against him than I ever should have dreamed of making. “This language is precisely the lan- guage that might be used by a bl mailing officer in a big city in{ad- vising the keeper of law-breaking saloon, or a gambling house, ty tribute liberally because ot he might incur hostility in quarters. If this language proved against the policcman, would be removed from the police force, amd, as it is admitted by the Senator, he should be removed from the Senate. “The Provisional Committee will speedily make public the statement of the moneys that were collected and spent in the primary campaign last spring. Since the National Progressive convention the New York committee, as Judge Hotchkiss informs me, has eye about $9000, with which the entire State Kas been organized. “It is no longer legal to accept con- tributions from corporations. “Aside from this matter of corpora- tions my attitude as to contributions is precissly what my attitude was in 1904 and will not be changed. I do not draw the line against size and never shall. The conditions I impose are; first that the contributions shall be recsived with- out any kind of promise or obligation, expressed or implied, and second that the money shall be spent in honest fashion and only for legitimate ex- penses. “I have no sympathy with the pro- posals to limit the contributions to or $10,000 or any other sum. If the virtue of a party is such that it will weaken if the contribution is over $10,000, it will also weaken if it is under $10,000. It is morally as bad to solicit = maoet $10 for improper reasons as $10 “To limit contributions to 310,000 will be no hardship to a reactionary cause, a cause eens by the enormous ma- jority of the men who can each contrib- ute to such a sum. But we who fight for the cause of the people as a whole have only a few supporters among the very rich. These few supporters are from the nature of the case idealists, men of the kind who, when their in- terests are arouséd, give generously and without thought of personal return. “I welcome their contributions, when made in such a spirit; I am honored by their support and receive it as freely and gladly as it is given. “T shall make precisely the same re- turn to all who contributed and that re- turn is to serve the whole people by by pa for social and industrial jus- tice.” Improvement Body to Meet.

By Associated P PITTSBURG, ‘Sept. 2.—Twenty persons are known to have -been drowned and many others are missing following 4 series of storms which swept Western Pennsylvania and the Panhandle of West Virginia early today. The Balti- more & Ohio Railroad and the Pan- handle Railroad were badly washed, and it is said days will pass before traffic can be resumed. Through trains were marooned in the night in the flooded districts. Many manufacturing plaats ure under water and the property dam- age will be heavy. Reports from colliers, in the Panhan- dle of West Virginia, are that nine per- sons have been drowned there and many more are missing, but the exact loss of life cannot be ascertained until the searching parties along the valley of Hannon’s Creek report. Houses lopple Into Streets. Cherry Valley, a mining town on the creek, was flooded within half an hour after the rain began to fall. Founda- tions of houses were undermined and ‘a like experience last week. Chartiers ; found on a mattress floating in four or five feet of water. Cannonsburg, Pa., also suffered from the storm, hardly having recovered from Creek overflowed its banks and swept through the town, flooding the railroad and trolley tracks, and many of the streets. A number of houses were filled with water, but the residents had re- ceived ample warning and hastened to places of safety, but one man who went back to recover valuable papers was crushed in the collapse of his house and a boy fell into the flood when a porch on which he had taken refuge went down. A number of children in the commun- ity are among the missing and several men, women and children who had tak- en refuge on the roof of a house on the stream on the edge of Cannonsburg slipped on the shingles and Cisappeared in the flood. Sees Children Swept Away. At Avella, Washington County, Henry Crow’s house was undermined by an ordinarily little stream. Mrs. Crow was badly injured and Crow carried her out, but before he could return for the three children they were swept away. After spending its force south and west of Pittsburg, the storms swung north to Butler County, where great damage was done, but so far as is known no lives were lost. Oil derricks were blown down, small streams flooded and scores ‘of persons spent the night in raijroad cars, held prisoners between washouts. Ask your grocer.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The Saturday Re- view, one of the leading weskly organs of the Conservative party, has a violent article on the Panama Canal situation. - Among other things, it says: “The Saturday Review has pointed out from the first and throughout this Pan- ama business that to make sacrifices in order to win American friendship was to pursue a phantom and to imagine that the American politicians would be ' bound by any feeling of honor or re- spect for treaties if it would pay to vio- late them was to delude ourselves. The whole course of history, proves this. Lal = . “It never really pays either states or men to act in defiance of the ordinary rules of honor and to acquire a reputa- tion as an qutsider with whom no self- respecting man can have traffic. . * . "This combination of unctuous recti- tude and cynical treachery has hardly Leen equaled in the history of the world. ° ° ° “What then is the civilized world to do in s2lf-defense? If our Foreign Of- fice ig fully determined never to fight the United States we are in the end pound to have the worst of it in a con- troversy with an adversary to whom the ebligition of a plighted word is merely @ superstition of an effete civilization. “Failing an agreement of the great nations injured by Yankee perfidy to compel the observance of treaties by foros; then by common agreement they should withdraw their ambassadors from Washington and treat with the politicians who hold sway there as they would with the only kind of state such people are fit to govern.”

“TM Sher of 2 Crown Girls. Winner of. Swimming Race

Mrs. Catherine Giese Who Admits She Is 41, but Does Not Look It, Is Self-Taught— Praises Exercise as Means of Staying Young.

Self-taught as‘a swimmer and having only three years’ experience, gained prin- cipally in public pools, Mrs. Catherine Gross of 2401 South Broadway, mother of two grown daughters, easily won the Western Rowing Club’s two-mile river swim for women-from eight competitors Sunday afternoon. It was the first swim- ming contest of any kind in which Mrs. Gross had participated. She took the lead from the start and crossed the finish line 150 yards ahead of her nearest rival, Miss Adelaide Ste- ger, 16 years old. Mrs. Gross’ neighbor and frequent companion in the pools, Mrs. .Emma Stissel, who was taught to swim by an expert instructor four and one-half years ago, finished sixth. Slightly nervous at the beginning of the race, Mrs. Goss soon recovered her composure and talked frequently to her pilots throughout the course. She used the English side stroke exclusive- ly, having found it to be the one that gives her the greatest speed. Calla It Best Exercise. “Women who want to be healthy and stay young should learn to swim,” said Mrs. Gross to a Post-Dispatch reporter at her home Monday. “I consider swim- ming the greatest exercise known. It has improved my health wonderfully and has given me countless hours of pleasure. “Our family went on a camping tri about three years ago and it was the that I became interested in swimming.

It is not without significance that talk about “social justice,” even though in the mouths of some it has become only a part of the undiscrim- inating jargon of politics, occupies so large a place in the discussions of this current campaign. It means that labor is coming into its own. Its own is justice and equality under the laws. Remedies in legislation wnose advocacy by labor was once looked upon as the promotion of labor’s own selfish interests, are the subject of the leading planks in the/platforms of all parties, the issues on which unusual stress will, be laid in the struggle. Labor’s most reassuring thought today is that the time has gone by when to ask that the man shall be put before the dollar is to earn ‘denunciation as a champion of class legislation. “Tt is as deep a stain on the national flag,” id Chancellor Lioyd-George of the British Cabi- met in a speech at Cardiff, Wales, the other day, hat its folds should wave over slum-bred and half-starved cuildren, or over ill-paid, ill-fed, ill- housed working men and women, as that it should wave over uefeat in a stricken field.” *The spirit of the times in this country has had no expression more felicitous. More and more it {gs being accepted as an evidence of national failure and defeat when millions of men in great industrial centers are denied a chance, are de- prived of a just share of tne rewards their labor creates and are condemned to poverty and hope- lessness. The American flag waves over too many such lc.us of defeat. ‘Chancellor Lloyd-George said that his object ia the delivery of this speech was not the ad- ) vancement of a~y particular party or any specific plan of amoiioration, but the creation of a na- atmosphere in which it would be impossible ‘ftér anybody to remain a ruler of the country ) prepared to uea) with these great prob- lems of social injustice. ‘That is an atmosphere whose creation may ._@ome sooner in our country than in his, “We are beginning to realize that questions af- feocting labor conditions not only interest wage @arners, but all the people.

Roosevelt clamored to be heard. The Clapp committee, owing to the lateness of his request, could not grant it; but the Senate as a whole invited him to come before the Clapp com-~ mittee about Sept. 30 and defend himself. Col. Roosevelt now at this date makes public an 18,000-word ‘auswer in writing which adds nothing whatever to his previous denials. We cannot but suspect that this is as far as the Colonel intends to go into the subject of cam- | paign contributions. His statement may con- veniently relieve him of appearing in person be- fore the. committee on Sept. 30 an1 submitting to direct questioning and cross examination. He ean refer the still inquiring mind of the country and the Senate to this statement, which contains virtually nothing but conveniently prepared and conveniently selected correspondence. He can make this statement the basis of a refusal to ap- pear before the Senate. Meanwhile the essential questions will persist: How much did ‘ne Beef Trust contribute to Roosevelt's fund in 1904, and is it contrib ting now in 19127 t How much did the Morgan interests, the Steel Trust, Harvester irust, and the Sugar Trust and the Paper Trust and the Coal Trust and the na- tional banks and the express companies contrib- ute to Rooseveit’s fu-. . in 1904, and are they con- tributing no in 1912—and how much? Col. Roosevelt advertises that there is no limit to the size of sums he is willing to receive from proper sources. a + 4 al — a

Mr. Creelman tells of & woman newspaper cor- respondent in the Philippines whom no descrip- tion of dangers and gruesome sights could deter from accompanying an expeditionary column. But back she went to Manila, to the column’s great relief, when rats appeared in her tent. The like terror with which opponents broke up an entire suffragette street meeting in Chicago transgressed the rules of civilized feminine war- fare. ail. = = % TOO MUCH WHISKY. A gill of whisky is too much for the teeto- taler. But total abstainers will be surprised to hear that the whisky producer is just at present complaining of too much whisky. A large Ken- tucky distilling house publicly laments that 1912 closes with the biggest production of whisky in the history of the country, and the biggest stock in warehouses ever recorded. In 1911 there were 172,221,169 gallons of whisky rroduced in the United States. In 1912 the pro- duction mounted up to 174,535,060 gallons: and in the distillery and bonded warehouses there are et this time no less than 263,785,836 gallons of this spirit waiting to be consumed. A terrible state of things, according to the whis- ky distributor, this glutting of the market. Not only ‘fa stupid blunder,” but “a crime,” the au- thors of which, unless they have the strongest financial backing, are ‘candidates for bankruptcy.” We cannot conscientiously advise the American whisky consumer to “speed up” his drinking. He now consumes about 130,000,000 gallons annually. The whisky men will have to look to the foreign markets, which ought to relieve their anguish to some extent. Circulars sent abroad telling of the excellence and abundance of American rye and bourbon will be better business than appeals to the producer now that the mischief is done. > i a > = That home rule which, both of the leading parties are promising Missouri should be given a specific form before election. a i A - Fr A SUFFRAGETTE WITH GUMPTION. In the name of true democracy we respectfully but warmly salute our fellow townswoman, Mrs. Anita Calvert Bourgeoise, lawyer,- suffragette worker, orator, politician and, we ungrudingly add —stateswoman. The stateman’s distinguishing qualities are his informed intelligence, his poise, his superior far- sight and his high purpose. The same qualities distinguish the stateswoman. It is our privilege tc admire in Mrs. Bourgeoise a profound knowl- edge of the only abiding principles of justice as declared by Thomas Jefferson. It is our privil- ege to admire her poise that resists the cheap blandishments of a would-be third-termer and his transparent suffrage platform. With admirable farsight Mrs. Bourgeoise sees beyond as well as through the ephemeral vote-catching opportunist. She pins her faith to the enduring and growing principle of “equal and exact justice to all” as exemplified by Woodrow Wilson. In taking the stump for Wilson, under the auspices of the Na- tional Democratic Committee, and in basing her appeal for woman suffrage on fundamental democ- racy Mrs. Bourgeoise exhibits an intelligent pur- pose worthy of her cause. She is building better than most of her sisters know. She is resting her cause on the broad basis of the essential po- litical faith of this country, and identifying her cause with principles that will survive party fluctuations and endure a long time after Bull Moose have become as extinct as dodo birds. The immediate as well as the remote hope of suffrage lies alone in the spirit of: justice engen- dered by the great teacher in the breasts of Demo- cratic voters and in essential Democrats who occa- sionally wear independent labels. The “practical politics” of suffrage points to the desirability of a prompt victory. These are Democrati¢ times. This is a Democratic year. The suffragette mévement will only render itself ridiculous in coming a cropper in the losing race of the Colonel in. khaki. It will take woman's suf- frage some time to recover from association with a losing and ludicrous leader. What suffrage needs are a few more stateswomen with gump- tion.

——ae _ rw LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Unjust Distribution of Political Power. To the: Bditor of the Post-Dispatch. The right one to rule must necessarily ema- nate from dfvine sources or some arrangement agreed to betwen the ruler and the ruled. The divine idea was rejected by the founders of this government, they declaring that all governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed. A government which is founded upon the consent of the governed is manifestly unjust unless it provides a way by which the consent of the governed may be ascertained. This is not granted at the present time, the political power of the nation’ being unjustly distributed. First—By the general and wholesale denial of political power to women. Second—By the unequal distribution of political power in the Senate, A

Third—By the method provided for electing the President and Vice-President. Fourth—By the appointment of the national judiciary by the President with the consent of the Senate. Laws that discriminate between members of a community should have a just concept for such discrimination. About one-half of our population being denied equal rights at the ballot box on ac- count of sex. The denial of the ballot to woman is one of the greatest injustices that has ever been done to her. Is this right taken from her by the constitution. If not, by what authority? In most states a woman has no right to vote whatever; in some they have limited suffrage and only in a few do they enjoy the privilege of full suffrage. Why should not women be given full suffrage? Does she not pay taxes the same as man? The function of voting is not a sex func- ticn, the necessary qualifications being intellec- tual ond moral. The ability to manage one’s own affairs depends on intelligence instead of sex. The Senate possessing a very large share of the political power of the nation, the question arises: How is it selected and from what sources does it derive its power? It is supposed to be se- lected by the states, and each state without any regard to its population is entitled to two mem- bers in the Senate. The small states are given in selecting it as much political power as are the large ones, It is not true that the Senate repre- sents the states. The presumption that it does being a mere fiction of law. According to the census of 1910, 24 states, with an aggregate popu- lation of less than 18,000,000 inhabitants furnished a majority in the Senate. Thus the representa- tives of about one-fifth of the population of the United States control that body. Is this called a just distribution of political power? The power thus unjustly concentrated will always be liable to abusés of the most dangerous character, and the sooner the defect is remedied the safer wil] be the Federal Government. . The method provided for electing the President and Vice-President is subject to an objection .of a similar character to that of the Senate. They being selected by electors from the varigus states of the Union. Each state being entitled to two electors without regard to population; therefore, the voters of the small states are given greater political power in the choice of these officers than are those of the larger states. The Federal judiciary, which composes the en- tire judicial branch of the national government, being appointed by the President with the ap- proval of the Senate, their offices are thereby also affected by this unjust distribution of politi- cal power, DANIEL SCHMITT, B. C. s. Many Cars Still Jerk. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. When the United Railways Co. put into effect the common sense near side stop, the straphang- ers were relieved of just one-half of the annoy- ance of jerking. Cars now slow up gradually at crossings and then proceed continuously to the rext, etc. Have all the complainants falled to ob- serve it? FAIRMONGER. More Publicity for St. Louis, To the Editor‘of the Post-Dispatch. The city of St. Louis is held in great esteem by many thousands as an example of what a large American city should be, but what is the explana- tion of the failure of a great number of manufac- turers that have branch offices in Kansas City, Denver, Omaha, etc., to overlook St. Louis? Pick up any large weekly and note the unenviable po- sition held by St. Louis in advertisements of the great manufacturer where the above pkmed cities are prominently quoted as being locations for the procurements of their goods to the exolu- sion of St. Louis—why? One large concern that makes speedometers names the prominent automobile streets of cities of decidedly lesser importance than S8t, Louis without a word about King’s Highway. What explains the lack of popularity that we seem to be suffering from? Search me, it may be our “lid,” who knows? “PROGRESSIVE.” A Kindergarten Suggestion. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will you please advise the kindergarten teach- ers, through your valuable columns, to spend less time teaching the young children to make flimsy tissue paper atrocities and subsitute the cutting, fitting and making of dolls’ clothes—making but- tonholes, sewing on buttons, darning tiny holes, etc. At Christmas, instead of loading the tree with perishable prettiness, let there be nicely dressed dolls of all nations, which will be much appreci- eted by the poor children, to whom they are pre- sented. ‘ : Please ask your readers to express themselves o1 this subject and oblige, “BUSY MOTHER,” _—

a Selections for Prayer. From the Charlotte (N. C.) Observer. Those South Carolinans who have appointed a day of prayer for the election of “true, pure, clean men” to office in that state, were guilty of an error of omission. They should have specified the men whom they would present collectively or individually as true and pure. and clean. As framed their prayer is too much a prayer of gen- eralities, though, it is supposed to bé directed arainst the re-election of Gov. Blease.

The young consul, comprehending the Chinese character, and knowing the old mandarin well, waited for him to con- tinue the conversation. At last the other turned slowly, and fixed his black eyes On the Consul's face. “I have come to ask you a favor. i very seldom ask favors.”’ Harriman bowed. ‘I place myself at your service,’’ he replied, courteously. The mandarin spoke quietly. “IT have traced the jewels.”’ “Ah! that is zood news. And you have found the thief?’’ The American looked up with interest. “There. was no epoke quletly. “What!

They brought me a vast gum.”’ “Uadoubtedly.’’ At this juncture the Bervant entered: with liquors, and after he had departed the old man continued: “By mistake our household token and treasure, the beetle of the house of Lu- ang, was sold with the lot. It is a small piece of feather jewelry, in itself al- most valueless, but necessary to the welfare of our family. As I knew not that it was kept with the jewels, I did not miss it. The fury of the gods has descended upon us. My son is dying. The beetle must be recovered.”’ The dignity and sincerity of the state- ly old man deeply impressed the Amerit- can. “Can’t you recover the emblem from the purchaser your jewels?’ “No, he has sold it. But wait. I do know where it is. He sold it to the mandarin, Gum Sag Lee. He, In turn; has placed it In the hands of Song Wen, the auctioneer, in Canton, to be sold at auction in four days.”’ “Can't you buy it back before the auction takes place?” *No. oe en has been instructed not to sell the jewel to me.

How much shall I offer for it?’’ “e The mandarin drew a purse from his Sleeve and handed it to the Consul. “It .8 all I have. If necessary use the last tael.”’ He rose as he spoke and walked to the door. His coolies were summoned, and soon his chair was in readiness. He drew the Consul back into the hall and embraced him. “My friend,” he said, ‘‘from to- morrow morning the Chang road is open to American merchants. Good- “Thank you, Luang. Good-by.” The Consul stood watching the chair until it disappeared behind the trees. Then his careworn face lighted up. “IT am very glad. No more driving through the old cemetery. The fever will be greatly lessened this summer."’ He closed the door and went back to his study to arrange his affairs for the morni start. Four days later, in the early morning, @ little steamer nosed her way up the Pearl River toward the city of Canton. As the steamer made fast to the pier amid a great clanging of bells and cries of chair-men, the coolies poured from the lower deck, and soon the Consul's chair was in readiness for him. He ve a few directions and the coolies up the principal street, which Was so narrow that the hangings of the chairs almost brushed the shops. on either side. Overhead the roofs juttea out to with- in 4 te inches of each other, making look like a narrow hallway. @ shops were open to the street, and be seen within, ar- , ng their display, or seated beside their counters, smoking.

I am for Song Wen, the auction- “f to see the articles to be sald auction.” gfe SSS by eB at SS ae See a “ms oe 4 tates abhor The auctioneer smiled and led him from one fascinati heap to another. Finally he sopees t a black cabinet and, with a quick push, a secret drawer sprang out. On a silk pad glittered a half-dozen uncut stones, blue and red. As the Consul bent over the box, the purpose of his visit came back to him. “They are certainly beautiful. But, have you no feather ornaments? I am greatly interested in the feather jewel- ry.’ The auctioneer jerked out a large drawer with a look of disgust at such plebeian taste, and leaving the Ameri- cam to look them over, he turned back to close the drawer of jewels. Harriman bent down over the orna- ments eagerly. The half-light displayed a collection of pins, armijets and ear- rings. There were insects, flowers and birds, mounted in steel, and gleaming red, blue and purple. In the very front of the drawer lay a tiny green object. He bent closer. A sharp metallic click startled him and he straightened up. It was probably the cherms on his watch chain striking against the ornaments in the drawer. “I'll have to take them closer to the light.’” He moved across to the lamp and examined the contents of the drawer minutely. The red and purple bees and butter- flies stared back at him from their cushion of cotton. There was not one green ornament in the box. He uttered an exclamation of disappointment. Going back to the .cabinet he at- tempted to replace the drawer. It stuck, and while he was jerking at it, Song Wen came over to him. ‘“‘Never mind that. I'll replace it. Have you. found anything you admire particularly ?’’ “No.” Harriman moved to the door, carefully stepping past a pair of tall ox-blood jars, passed under the hanging and into the bare little shop, the auc- tioneer following. His coolies awaited him at the door. “You will come again? On Wednes- day, perhaps?” the auctioneer asked. “Yes. Good-day.”’ *“Good-day.”” Song Wen stood bowing in the doorway until the chair had turned a sharp corner and the last coolie disappeared. Then he entered the shop and passed under the hanging into the long, dark room. The tray lay as he had left it a moment before. He carried it to the light and began to ar- range the articles on the cotton pad. Suddenly he jumped back, his olive face paling. “The green beetle! It is not here. I am ruined! I am ruined!” He stood there a minute, mumbling to himself. Then, calling to a coolie, he hurried into the shop and on down the street, calling excitedly as he ran. Meanwhile John Harriman lay back on his cushions, tired and disappointed. He had failed to obtain the one tiny object on which the health of all the American residents of Shanghai had rested. For he knew well that in case he did not recover the beetle Lu Luang would again\ close the Chang road to American merchants. Again they would be compelled to use the old Cemetery road. in which fever was always lurk- ing for its prey. | Euadenly a shrill cry came from be- hind him somewhere; then a babel of voices; then the sound of a crowd of people running. “Vire,’’ he thought. car he called to the coolies: Leaning from the ‘“‘Hurry u ve hey began to run. It was a danger- ous proceeding in Canton. As _ the heavy chair lumbered through the streets, the Chinese ran to their doors, scowling. He leaned from the window and looked out. The wharf lay directly ahead. He breathed a sigh of relief. Just then the cries from behind became clearer. “‘Thief—stealer—red-haired devil—the green eyes: There he is. Yahai!"" He looked back. A terrifying sight met his eyes. Around the corner behind him swung a Chinese mob, with faces distorted, howling as they ran, and pointing at him. “VYahai! Give us the green beetle. Stealer!” At sight of. his face the cries broke out afresh. “Stealer. Kill him!’’ He sank back, weak and sick. These men were accusing him of some imag- inary theft that they might mob him and steal what money they could find in his clothes. Arguing with them were worse than useless. he desire to kill had made beasts of them. Most of them did net even know what they were running for. If they searched him they would find that vast sum he had in his purse, and which he could never repay to Lu Lu- ang. No. He must make the steamer. The chair was swayin back and forth, striking the shop signs on either side, and sending them spinning. He looked ahead. The steamer still lay at the dock, not two blocks away. Suddenly there came a blinding crash, and he was thrown forward on his face. The chair was motionless. He leaped out. His coolies were run- ning down the street. They had de- serted him. Behind came the mob. A huge man holding a knife was almost upon him. “Stealer. Kill!’ ‘ Turning, he ran down the street. Be- hind him he heard his pursuers, as their wooden shoes clattered on the rough cobbles. He heard th howling. ‘Kill! Yahai! He shuddered and ran faster, his head dowa and his arms swinging. The steamer rail was lined with anx- fous faces. ‘“‘Be quick, man! For God's sake, ‘ He reeled across the wharf and stretched out his arms. They d ed him on board and the steamer put out into the stream. Just in, time. A _ rain of missiles caused the ngers to flee in terror to the ether sidé of the boat.

When She Loves. AD BETTY VINCENT cn ane ERY often a giri discovers that she is in love before the object of her affection has made known his wn What is there for her to do? Nothing but her historic old job of Waiting. Of course she may be nice to the man when he appears—but not too nice. There is no use calking, the av- erage man doesn’t value what he can get too easily. The instinct of the chase is still strong witnin him. A hint of difficulty does more to arouse his ardor than anything else. So you ses there is a certain psychological basis for the general prejuaice against pro- posals by women. A girl in love with a man may be morally certain that he cares for her and just as certain that he doesn’t yet know it himself. But it’s against the rules of the game for her to enlighten him. And if she cares and he doesn’t care, ever her cue of acquiescent silence re- mains unchanged. —. writes: “I wish to remember e the birthday of a young man who has been paying me regular atten- tions.

This was something of a poser and the widow paused to decide what she should ask next. “What is it like in heaven, George?”’ she finally asked. “‘Heaven!” exclaimed George. not in heaven.’’

Her Gold-Plated Idol. NCE upon a time there was a woman who had an ideal. The ideal took the form of a man. That is to say, she thought and dreamed about just the kind of a man that would fit the ideal. He was so godlike. So she went forth into the world with the ambition of finding the realization of her hopes. Now, the seeker usually finds. He seemed to be the personification of her ideal. First he looked the part. “How handsome he is!” she thought. ‘“‘Just the right color of eyes and hair!’’ He wore the right kind of clothes, and he had his finger nails manicured often. He “loved’’ music and ‘“‘adored’’ books, and when he smiled—well, she just had to pinch herself to know that she was not dreaming. He was a paragon of all the virtues. And there was none could measure up to him. So the woman proceeded to place him on a high pedestal and worship him accordingly. For, did not he tell her the most wonderful things that he had been @ part of in the times before she knew him? How he harped on her being his real affinity (whatever that is)! And didn’t he impress upon her the fact that she was the only-only, and that never before and never again would he feel toward anyone as he did toward her? “You are so different,” he would say. She believed all, for she believed in the ideal idea; and somebody had to fit her belief. Every day he loomed up bigger ani more golden, and everything about him reflected ihe shining luster. No one ever lived that was just like him. He had the “deepest thoughts.”"’ For hadn’t he told her some of them? In truth, she had read of similar things in books; but then he had such a way of putting things that made him ‘‘so original,’’ so unusual, so wonderful. She saw many man in the world. AM rad their faults, EXCEPT her beautiful ideal. He was FAULTLESS. All life stretched out GLOWINGLY before her. To be forever with this godlike man, who was truly idealistic and had no attributes of a common yariety' About this time some rumors floated to her ears of this, that and the other so0-Called vice that he had, of which she had known NOTHING. Yet she did not BELIEVE them. One day, quite unexpectedly, however, she saw him do some things very much as might.some other man, which are not of the category of the ideal. He was off guard and not doing the “idealistic’’ game. In truth. he had very much the habits of any other man, although he had not enumerated them to her, because he was EXPECT- ED to fit the ideal. She even heard him tell had told her, also in that lofty “orig- inal” way. Her god-man fell from his pedestal and broke. She was disappointed. Her ideal was shattered. She had expected TOO MUCH. Had shé been content to grant him ithe shortcomings of man and take the blessings with them she might have been happy. But she INSISTED on his living up to her ideal, which he did— when with her.

By CLARENCE F. LLOYD. § the once mighty Matty sgveeieunrs | the end of his string? “Big Six” hasn't won a game since July 30. He pitched five games in August and was returned a loser in every out. It’s the first time dur- ing his career with the Giants, begin- ning in 1900, that Matty has failed to bag at least one victory in any month and the first time he has been slammed five times in succession. There seemed a very good chance Saturday of Matty shaking the Jinx which had been chasing him all of last month. On that day he was slated to oppose the lowly Brooklyn team, and a victory seemed on the way. But the elements were against Christopher and prevented the game, No games are played in the East on Sundays, and Matty was foreed for the first time in his career to go through a month without a win.

DAVIS RESIGNS WHEN NAP FANS UHEER STOVALL Birmingham Will Succeed For- mer Protege of C. Mack as Cleveland Leader.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 2.—Harry H. Davis resigned today as manager of the ‘Cleveland American League team. Out- fielder Joe Birmingham was appointed to fill his place temporarily. Davis’ decision to step down probably was prompted by the great reception the Cleveland fans yesterday gave to George Stovall, who preceded Davis as ; commander of the Naps. Fans the country over are familiar with the conditions under which Davis took command of the Naps. He really went on the job under protest of the fans. George Stovall had succeeded Jim McGuire in mid-season, and then piloted the delapidated Naps from seventh to third place. However, before Stovall attained his great success, Davis al- ready had been retained as manager. Davis gave up his job with Connie Mack and took command in Cleveland. His administration was a failure from the start. Before the season began he engineered a trade of Stovall for “Lefty’’ George. The latter is in the minors while Stovall “is bossing the Browns, who lately have won seven straight.

A long list of home games, many of which are against clubs, that the Giants have found “soft’ ’this season, practically assures this ending. Henceforth, excitement in the two baseball derbies will be as fréquent as Iii clubs in the Mojave desert. Also, a cor- responding desiccation of once juicy hox office plums may be expected in the four weeks of innocuous schedule—com- pleting that ——— EVERYBODY STRONG. FOR BOSTON. IRLD’S series sp2culations consti- tute the one provocation of fan- ning bees and, in the minds of many, the strength of the Boston club makes even this a waste of time. It will be in- teresting to ses what MoGraw will do to strengthen his sagging fences. Probably the little Napoleon will be there with the heroic remedies, when theses ere needed. * * * MANY PLACES NEED PATCHING. HAT they will be needed is certain from the waning brilliancy of Marquard, the failure of Mathewson to win even gne gamé during the entire month of August, and the slump in the work of Herzog, Devore and other reg- ulars of the club. Considering the bat- ting of the team as a whole it will not take Joe Wood’s best to hold the Giants safe. a e 7. MATTY AND MARQUARD WEAKEN. § the clubs now appear there does not seem the ghost of a chance for the Giants. The two pitchers who, ‘at their best, might havs checked the Bostonians, seem to have disintegrated sadly. Tesreau is, today, the only man who might stall off the heavy clouting of the Red Sox. There are still five weeks in which Matty and Marquard may be nurs23d into shape again, and it is here that McGraw will shine. The form of these pitchers today can safely be ig- nored when figuring what they will do in the big series—if they happen to fig-

ure in it. line of endeavor, at least in St. Louis. RED SOX CAN MAKE RUNS UT even at‘their best these pitchers have not the attacking support’ the Boston flingers will be accorded. The run- getting strength of the Red Sox seems to outclass that of the Giants. Merkle, Doyle and Meyers can’t do it all, and the rest of the club varies from indifferent to bad. | What McGraw can do to help here is hard to see. The only trick he can turn on the attack is with that good old dome of his, which may be confidently expected to out- general that of Stahl, should the result of a game or the series reduce to brains. a RED SOX PITCHERS WILL DO. OSTON’S pitching staff has been sneered at: but of late it has improved great- ly. Collins and Wood can hold their own with the Giants’ best, and O’Brien, Hall and Bedient are certainly no worse than some of the men on whom McGraw will be forced to rely. Altogether it looks very much like ‘*back to St. Helena” for the little Napoleon. . * MORE WORRY FOR MUGGSY. Mi ccraw will face a problem next year, too. He is far from satisfied with his club now and needs outfield attacking strength very badly. He also needs some strength on the left side of the infield and he needs two new pitchers. Will he get them? McGraw has uniimit- ed capital back of him. If mere money could get them, McGraw would have the men in sight now. Baseball is one indus- try where talent is not always purchasable when needed.

The Kewanee Smoke- less Firebox Boilerswill burn any kind of bituminous coal and bring you far inside the requirements of the most rigid smoke ordinance ever drawn. It enables you to be a good citizen. and contribute to your city’s health and Cleanliness with distinct profit to yourself. That’s the kind of a proposition you don’t run across very often, yet we mean every word wé utter in this advertisement. Tests made by Robert W. Hunt & Co., engineers. of high re- pute, show a fuel saving varying from 23% on Pocahontas to 19% on Illinois coal as compared with the same coals in the standard firebox boilers. The secret ot this saving is the more perfect combustion in the Kewanee Smokeless Firebox Boiler. Take this advertisement home with you and think it over. ia s worth all the time you give it. Further tests made by this same firm of engineers show an efficiency with the Smokeless Firebox Boiler using Pocahontas coal of 74.9% and with Illinois coal of 74.3%. Tests made by tle University of Illinois .with a cast-iron sectional boiler show an efficiency using Pocahontas coal of 57.42% and with Illinois lump coal of 51.7%.
