-r.:,. are many who do not believe!
1 College will be able to
tr.
play ball this fall.
If the Democratic prohibitionist
vote for Wilson and Marshall you will
tben know they think more of party
than they do of prohibition.
An exchange says that South Caro
lina needs a new party. Well, Isn't
tb game true In every State where
tbe Democrats are In control.
Governor Wilson saya "we are
united." And still the next day he
left the table when he found he had
U-n seated with some Tammanyltes.
The Charlotte Observer saya only
Democrats can conduct themselves
harmoniously these days. The Demo
cratic Senatorial campaign for In
stance! The Southport News saya this will
be the last Presidential campaign run
by the politicians. And the politicians
will not even be allowed to run this
one just as they had planned.
Simmons' campaign managers say
that Kitchln has no record. And still
there are many who think that Sim
mons would be better off at this time
if it were not for his own record.
Some of the Democratic papers are
bf2pinK the widows and orphans to
contribute to Wilson's campaign
fund. But who is to look after them
in case Wilson is elected President?
Simmons was billed to speak in
Charlotte last Thursday night in the
interest of the party. Evidently Sim
mons thinks he is the party, as he
spoke in the interest of his own can
didacy. The News and Observer says that
contributors to Wilson's campaign
fund will be given souvenir receipts.
However, they will not be able to pay
guano bills with those souvenir re
ceipts if Wilson is elected.
The News and Observer says it is
only the uninformed that are not tak
ing an interest in the tariff question.
Yet it is only the uninformed that
that will agree with the News and
Observer's positon on that question.
The Carolina Democrat says that
Senator Simmons gave out an inter
view in which he cheerfully endorsed
the national platform, even before
the platform was adopted by the con
vention.
William J. Bryan told a Colorado
audience that Colonel Roosevelt Is the
most dangerous man in the country.
No doubt the Democrats consider him
dangerous as he will probably keep
them away from the pie-counter for
another four years.
The Charlotte Observer thinks if
the pass toters and job holders were
taken out of Kitchin's ranks his
crowd would look like a set of pall
bearers. That is probably true, and
wouldn't it apply to the Democratic
Party as a whole?
The Durham Herald announced re
cently that it would not vote for
Craig for Governor if there was an
other white man in the race. Well,
there are two other white men in the
race, and the Herald, as well as
ttany others, do not have to vote for
Craig.
Before Wilson paramounts the
tariff he had better pick out a soft
Place to fall. Some people may want
the tariff revised, but they are not
willing for any Democratic doctor to
Perform the operation, and especially
by one who has never had any prac
tice. dispatch from Wilson's ranch at
sagrit announces that the Profes
r will place the old-timers in his
Party in the rear during this cam
paign. But you can bet that the Pro
fessor will sit back with the "old
timers" and ask them where to get
1 campaign fund, and any extra
oney he may need.
ROOSEVELT ELECTOILS WIN CAKE
IN KANSAS.
Advocate of Thini Termer Who

main on Republican Ticket.
Topeka. Kan.. Sept. 14. The
Roosevelt Presidential elector won
another round in the legal battle to
get them off the Republican ticket In
Kansas City. Judge W. H. Stanborn.
of the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals, denied the Injunction asked
by the supporters of President Taft'a
candidacy to prohibit tbe names of
the eight Roosevelt electors being
placed on the Republican ballot in
the general election in November.
The case was argued Monday in Den
ver and the written decision of Judge
8anbom was received here late to
day. The case was brought three weeks
ago. D. R. Hite, attorney for the
Taft followers, went to Red Oak.
Iowa, and obtained a temporary re
straining order. The Taft support
ers asked that Charles Sessions. Sec
retary of State, be restrained from
certifying to the county clerks over
the State, the names of the Roose
velte electors nominated at the pri
mary election.

Rosenthal, the gambler, were
found by the police tonight living
with their wives in a flat in the
Brownsville section of Brooklyn.
They were arrested by Deputy Police
Commissioner Dougherty and a squad
of detectives, who brought them to
police headquarters and locked them
up.
The two men had been occupying
the flat since August 15 and were
alone until last Tuesday, when they
were joined by their wives, through
whom clues to their whereabouts
were obtained by the police.
The four were sitting at tea when
Deputy Commissioner Dougherty and
his men opened the door of their
apartment and with revolvers drawn
ordered them to hold up their hands.
Neither of the men made show of re
sistance. "Drop your guns. You've got us,"
said "Gyp" calmly.
"Give us a little time to get dress
ed, will you?" said "Lefty" with
equal composure.
Tear Wives Away.
The women, however, made a
scene, throwing their arms around
their husbands' necks and shedding
copious tears. They had to be torn
away from the men before the po
lice could get their prisoners out of
the apartment and were later brought
to headquarters.
With the arrest of "Gyp" and
"Lefty" whose real names are Harry
Horowitz and Louis Rosenweig, all
of the seven accused of the murder
of Rosenthal, of which Police Lieu
tenant Charles Becker is the alleged
instigator, are now in custody.
That Democratic Pension Steal.
Charlotte Observer.
The number of government pen
sioners under the new Sherwood law
will be nearly 450,000. according to
official estimates. To date 438,850
applications have been received since
the law went into effect on May 11.
The average pension under the act
amounts almost to $1.00 a day.
Thus States, like Ohio and Penn
sylvania, into which the Government
was already pouring fifteen or sixteen
millions of dollars yearly will have
the golden tide hugely increased.
These pensions are distributed to per
sons of all ages, from childhood to
the extreme of life, and to both sexes.
It has only been required of them
that they claim some sort of connec
tion with somebody who had some
thing to do with the Civil War on the
Union side. Deserters and bounty
jumpers and coffee-coolers and camp
followers receive pensions without
any practical discrimination and nu
merous pensions are received through
claims under them. The disburse
ments are made from secret lists and
records in the Pension Bureau at
Washington which no curious outsid
er is ever permitted to see. When
ever there comes up a case so desti
tute of any real connection with the
Civil War, however slight or discred
itable, that the Pension Bureau will
not act. Congress is confidently railed
upon for a special grant and these
special pension acts go through by
the thousand at every session every
body understanding perfectly just
what they are. :
Maintained through "the cohesive
power of public plunder" under the
exigencies of our political systme, it
Is the most stupendous graft in the
history of the world. i

Tucson. Ariz., Sept. 17 If Colonel
Roosevelt is elected President, he
said in a speech here to-day, he will

power win carry out every promise
which it has made in its platform.
We regard the platform as a con
tract with the people a contract to
pa kept to the letter.
"If I am elected President I shall
call a special session of Congress im
mediately to take up these matters.
It is of course true that the reforms
for which we call are largely sub
jects which must be dealt with by the
Legislatures of the various States,
but there are certain matters which
we can and will take up in Congress
if the opportunity is given us.
"I would have Congress take up
three things: First is the application
of our program to the employes of
the Government. Next is its appli
cation to the District of Columbia and
Alaska. In the third place, we would
apply it to interstate commerce as
far as would be possible."
Colonel Roosevelt said it was dif
ficult to define the lengths to which
Congress could go in dealing with
concerns engaged in interstate com
herce through Congressional action.
He would attempt to put on the stat
ute book, he said, as much legisla
tion along these lines as could be ap
plied to the railroads and the usual
concerns doing an interstate busi
ness. In the District of Columbia, Col
onel Roosevelt said, he would put in
to affect laws which would make the
city of Washington a model, not only
for the United States, but for the
nations of the world. A great deal
of money has been spent, he said, in
building boulevards and public adorn
ments in the city, and he thought
that some of this money should go to
LUC 11UJIIVIC1UCUI, VI IU3 UUUUIUUU Ut
the poor. He said he would urge
laws to clear out the alley tenements
and to build small parks for the
workmen and would advocate the
adoption of the complete program of
the Progressive party's "human wel
fare" plank in tbe district.
All But Thirty Votesrs in One Coun
ty Bolt Taft.
Progressives in WTirt County, West
Va., assert that their district is the
strongest in West Virginia for the
Progressive movement. A poll of the
Republican party vote was made on
the assessors' books and this, it is
said, showed there were but thirty
Republicans in the entire country
who would support Taft. A remark
able feature of the situation is that
the entire County Executive Commit
tee and every candidate on the Re
publican county ticket are counted
among the Roosevelt followers. They
are working independently of the
State Executive Committee and have
refused to have any connection with
that organization.
In Elizabeth, the county seat, there
are hut three Taft men, one being
the postmaster and another an ex
sheriff. The third is not active in
political affairs.
A Strong Man for Roosevelt.
Cambridge, Mass. .Sept. 16. John
L. Sullivan, former world's champion
heavyweight pugilist, has notified
Matthew Hale, leader of the Massa
chusetts progressive movement, that
he desired to stump the State for the
ticket. "I am very anxious do what
I can to further the success of ex
President Roosevelt and the Progrea
alre party." wrote Sullivan.

coving and compelling spectacle In
the Coliseum to-day. It was not a
convention at all. It was an assem
blage of religious t entbusiastls. It
was a Methodist camp-meeting done
over into political terms. From Jane
Addams of Hall House fame, sitting
in the first rank below the platform,
to Judge Ben Lindsay of Denver sit
ting half-way down the hall, there
was an expression on every face of
religious enthusiasm.
"The men and women listened
with rapt faces. Some of them had
their jaws set, and seemed to be bit-
ing their lips. Here and there men
were seen wiping tears from their
eyes. There was little cheering; the
men and women were too earnest for
it. They sat there, bent forward in
their places, many of them with their
hands to their ears, anxious to catch
every word. When they did cheer
it was always for some sentiment in
which Senator Beveridee expressed
tne aspiration of the new party for
humanity "
SEVERE STORM ON GULF COAST.
Mobile and Pensacola Suffer Woit
Several Boats Destroyed and One
Life Lost.

overboard while trying to let out an
other anchor on the vessel to keep
her from drifting.
The street car system of the city

Several motor and sail boats of the
yacht club were torn loose from
moorings, beached and damaged.

orm F h gince h memor
able hurricane of September, 1906.
Many thousands of damage was done
to the shipping interest.

Penrose is a total wreck and a num
ber of other vessels were seriously
damaged.

seventy-four miles an hour before the
anemometer at the weather bureau

Several ocean steamships, includ-
; ing the big 4 QQ0 ton inland steam
er Nestorian was blown ashore.

Taft to Proclaim Law For Panama
Workmen.
Beverly, Mass., Sept. 14. The re
fusal of Congress to agree to the
workmen's compensation hill pushed
by the administration has made
President Taft determined te apply
the bill's principles in the Panama
Canal zone where his authority does
not need the further sanction of Con
gress. Under the Panama Canal act,
the President was given authority to
make the laws for the zone by ex
ecutive order. Within the next few
weeks he expects to proclaim as law
for the Canal zone a workmen's com
pensation act greatly similar to that
which last season passed the Senate
but which failed in the House.
Senator Sutherland, of Utah, re
drafted the hill to suit the needs cf
the sone and the President has sent
it to Panama for the approval of
oQcials there.

power agreed to put 150,000 men In
the field 600,000 to whip Napo
leon an any army he could raise. On
the 7th ov June the new French
House an' Senate met. The army ov
France pledged Napoleon its entire
ability against any an' awl comers.
But hit wuz plain that he could not
flte that whole side ov the earth long.
The English an' Prussians, under
Wellington, approached the French
frontiers an' there were battles at

Prussians who had now entered the

Napoleon had to retreat in the hope

Government an hits territory, he de
clared hiz son Emperor ov France
under the title of Napoleon II., and
left Paris, goin to England, where
he placed himself in the hands ov the
English Government. By this time
the combined troops ov the allies had
reached Paris, where on the 3rd ov
July a military convention wuz held
by Blutcher, Wellintgon, and Da

the combined armies entered the city

day Louis XVIII., a former Emperor

In the settlement France lost terri
tory, however. But the original ter
ritory az hit stood in 1793 wuz not
changed to any great extent. Four
fortresses were surrendered; the
duchy ov Bullion; a portion ov the
territory on the Lower Rhine; a part
or the district or Gex, an a part ov
Savoy, awl ov which contained a total
of 434,000 population. In addition,
