ROOSEVELT VS CABAEJLUS.
Prominent Republics Says a Roots
alt Club WiQ Soon Be Org ulrad
Hera.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt may or
may not be t eandidate for the Re
publican nomination for President of
the United States, bnt he has a fol
lowing among hie .party in Cabsrraa
that are going to make an effort to
nominate him in eof far as their pow
er lies. According to a well known
loesl Republican, who has always ta
ken a prominent hand in the councils
of the party, there will soon be or
ganised here "Theodore Roosevelt
Club." He elaims the club will
have at .least five hundred members
' at the start. A club will also be or
ganised in every township.
In conversation with' a representa
tive of this paper he said:'" Yon can
take it from me that the Republican
convention of Cabarrus county will
instruct for Mr. Roosevelt fer Pres-
. ident or the will of the rank and file
of the Republican party in this coun
ty will be thwarted."
."How are, the leaders t" he was
asked.
"They are playing a 'shut mouth'
game and won 't come out in the open
until they find the will of the majori
ty of the people," he replied.
Mr. Taft has some supporters here.
Men who will stand up and make a
fight for their man and when the
Roosevelt forces start a resolution
endorsing the Colonel of the- Rough
Riders for President they will rise
up and swat it with all their might.
If the Republicans in Cabarrus do
endorse the Colonel it will be the first
convention they ever held here that
was not dominated by the office hold
ers and administration forces.

JUDGE DAHTELS OK FIXES AS TVTaEXZXT.
Judge F. A. Daniels will be remembered by- the people long not
only for his great ability as a lawyer and judge, bat for his human-
ity and wisdom and good judgment and his strength end courage.
Jo stand for the right Recently Jndtte Daniels is ' 'sentencing a
blindtiger keeper of a liquor joint, sometimes called vJoh, said
among other things the following! . . ---. l
"I cannot put a fine upon these men. Whenever ft me. a makes it
a business to violate ibe law for gain ft fine amounts to a license
Whenever a man violates the law, whether it be the Snerman law
or some" other, a fine is no punishment. I have known men who
accumulated millions by the violation of law. I do not knew of any
other way to break up this business except by punishment, alike
for the rich and respectable and the poor and disrespecUble.
"By a fine yon are taxing the people who would 1m '"".Wiefitted
mostly by their punishment. For the money with which Ube fines
are paid is taken out of the pockets of the poor people they rob.
Such a course pursued by the courts means anarchy, whether .the
' fines are imposed, upon the 'poor blind tiger or a club or ft -man who
runs a great business enterprise that Covers a continent.
"What an example to the youths of, the country, whet a man
pays for his crime with a small portion, of his ill-gotten gain ! It
brings "the law into disrepute,.. It makes the . people think the
courts have abandoned theif efforts to enforce the law. '
"The lesson must be learned that whenever the collective wisdom
of the people passes'a law every 'eitixen. must abide .by it i If it is

The average American doesn't
know whether Nixhni Novgorod is
the name of a tight-rope performer or
a new parlor game. It is neither. In
these days of discoveries and inven
tions it might be the name given to
Uerman chemical combination or
a new planet. But it isn't. In fact,
it is not new; It is 700 years old; so
it isn't a breakfast food, nor is it a

a full grown city, founded in the year

I knew that all the time." some
body says. Yes, but the average
American doesn't know it, and it is
tha average American that should be

The Tribune presents the Standard
Atlas and Chronological History of
the World. In this useful volume
the names of all the principal cities
of the world are given, with a con
cise description of each. In another
section the population of the princi

and in another are accurate maps of
all States of the Union and all coun

This Atlas should be in -every home

should have .access to it. It is easv

ROBBERS CAPTURE TAIL
Take 125,000 From Bank Msssenfen
Ob Hew York Street
rew ork, reb. 15. Crossing the
invisible "dead line" at Fulton street
which has been respected bv thieves
ana oignwaymen ror more than two
decades three bandits today leaped
into a moving taxicab and after at
tacking two messengers of the East
River National Bank with blackiacks
escaped inanother automobile with
satchel containing $25,000 in cur
rency.
Here is the story of how the rob
bery occurred, as related bv the
chauffeur, the two bank messengers
and three eye witnesses: j
Returning from the New York Pro
duce Exchange Bank at 10 Broadway.
niiere the two messengers had tone-
jusi oetore noon to obtain $15,000 in
o notes and $10,000 in $10 notes,
wantani, the etiautteur, as had been
is custom on similar trips since the
Equitable Life Building fire, turned
into Exchange alley and drove his
taxicab to Trinity Place. Just as the
vehicle was about to negotiate th?
turn at the corner three men stepped
in front of the machine. As Mantani
reduced speed to permit them to cross
the street one of them leaped into the
seat occupied by the chauffeur, while
the other two men opened the door
and hurriedly climbed into the taxi
cab with the two bank messengers.
'Drive like !" commanded the
leader of the bandits, as he placed
a revolver, held in his coat pocket,
against the chauffeur's side.
While Mantani drove the automobile
at full speed for eight blocks the two
aien on the inside of the automobile
were beating the two messengers into
insensibility. As the taxicab neared
Park Place and Church street the
man on the seat with the chauffeur
directed that he slow up. As the taxi
came to a standstill the two men leap
ed from the machine and into an au
tomobile which was waiting for them.
After warning Mantani against giv
ing an alarm, the third bandit joined
his two companions and the automo
bile described as a seven-seated black
touring car, went north at full speed.

Scathing Attack on Simmoma. Oal
kngea Simmons Far Joist DebaU.
Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 18. The maia

oy senator jr. M. Bimmons. There
as a large number of the raHariaa

and had the closest attention of his

tentive and indeed responsive bear
in", although there were lares nam.
hers of friends and supporters of all
four of the eandidate for tha sefia-
torship in the audience. " .
The Governor made ft general ftad
very scathing attack on the official
record of Senator Simmons, his whole
speech being devoted to this, with- in
cidental preservation of . bis own
views on the issues treated and de
claring his positions to be those of
the real Democracy on the issues dis
cussed. He declared that if Senator
Simmons considers that he haa mis-'
represented him in the matter of his.
being out of harmony with the ag
gressive Democracy of the age, - has
broken its pledges and violated its)
principles, he is ready to meet him
in joint discussion before the people
and undertake to establish his con
tentions. Charlotte News:, 16th: "As waa
predicted, the meeting for boys at the
Y. M. C. A. last Sunday afternoon
was the largest of the series, but it
is expected that the meeting this
week will be even larger. The speak-'
er for next Sunday will be Mr. Wal
ter Thompson, superintendent of the
Jackson Training School, at Concord.
Mr. Thompson, comes to the citypnr-.
posely to address the meeting and.
should be heard by a large number
