Roosevelt on immigration.

THEODORE Roosevelt is clear thinker,
an intensely patriotic American, and
possesses marvellously lucid literary
style-which, while it does not soar into
a rhetorical empyream, reaches the
readers understanding in most force
full way. A fine example is the follow
ing extract from an article which he
wrote in 1895, on american Ideals. "
He was discussing our immigrants, and
the need of each of them conforming
his ideals to those which all Americans
hold. Mr.. Roosevelt wrote:
"There are certain ideas which he
must give up. For instance, he must
learn that American life Is incompati-
BILE with the existence of any form ol
anarchy, or of any secret society having
murder for its aim, whether at home OF
abroad; and he must learn that we ex
act full religious liberation and the
complete separation of church anc
state.
sTo bear the name of American is II
hear the most honorable of titles; ant
whoever does not so believe has no bus
mess to bear the name at all, and If n
comes from Europe, the sooner he goe
back there the better.

Heaviest Precipitation Ever Re-
corded Submerses Streets.
AN INCH AN HOUR FOR IA HOURS.
Street Car. Traffic Stopped and All
Business Practically Suspended
Damage Unestimated, but
Not Believed to be Great.

Galveston, Tex, Oct. S.-Galveston
was visited by the heaviest rainfall in
its history today. 1t began raining
last night, but the storm which formed
off Galveston did not break until early
this morning, and from 3 a. m. until 3
p. m. the precipitation was tremendous.
For IA hours ending at 12:30 p. m, 14.OS
inches of water fell. From a. m. to l
%. m. three inches fell.
The rain was accompanied by wind
which blew AZ miles an hour, at 11:30 a.
M, from the east. The streets were
inu ndated and street car traffic was
stopped, all business being practically
suspended. The damage cannot be es-
timated at this time, but it is not be-
lieved to be heavy. Some of the build
ings were partially flooded by water
backing over the streets. The tide was
only two feet above normal, and there
was no salt water in the streets. The
rain was local, extending only along
portion of the Texas coast and inland
for fifty to sixty miles with less in
tenSity.

Miss Helen Stones Case.

AS soon as Miss Stone, the American
missionary who is held captive by
band of Bulgarian brigands, is liber-
ated upon the payment of the ransom OF
s110, 900, which is being raised in this
country, President Roosevelt intends
to take energetic measures to obtain
not only indemnity in the sum named,
but reparation for the outrage commit
ted upon an American citizen in addi-
ton.
Preliminary steps toward bringing
to time the government responsible for
the unlawful action of some of its sub
jects have already been taken. The
State Department has ascertained from
the powers of Europe who signed the
Berlin treaty giving Bulgaria its pres
ent political status, that they will offer
no objection to the United States bring
ing proper pressure to bear upon the
Sofia Government to make suitable
amends.
Bulgaria occupies peculiar position
in Europe. By the terms of the con-
vention agreed to in Berlin in 1878 by
the great powers of Europe, Turkey
has been exercising suzerain powers
over the principality. The Bulgarian
ruler is elected by the people, whose
choice must be approved by the Sultan,
and finally ratified by the signatory
:
should the United States be impelled to
resort to force in obtaining indemnity
and reparation, it might inject itself
into the Eastern situation in manner
which may eventuate in possible
change of European geography. The
first step, of course, which the govern
ment will take, will consist of demand
for monetary satisfaction. Should this
be refused, resort to force might be-
come necessary. President Roosevelt
is determined to get indemnifcation,
even at the cost of the application Of
forcible measures.
Part of the ransom demanded by the
brigands has been forwarded through
the agency of the cable to Spencer Ed
dy, the Secretary of the American Le
CATION at Constantinople. A final eff
fort to procure Miss Stones Liberation
without the expenditure of money will
be made before any of the funds is paid
over, but should it fail, the ransom
will be given.

How Miss Stone Was Captured.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 3d. a de-
tailed account of the capture of Miss
Ellen M. Stone, the missionary, by
brigands in Turkey, has been received
in letter from Mrs. h. c. Haskell, of
Bulgaria, to relative here.
The letter says Miss Stone had been
her usual summer school for
Bible workers at Bansko, Macedonia
On Sept. 3 a party of six students from
the college institute at Samokov, three
or four Bulgarian teachers, Mr.. and
Mrs. Tsilka, who had spent years in
America; Mrs. Coshera and Miss Stone
started for Diumiak, twelve hours
travel. From there they were to go to
their different homes.
SURROUNDED WHILE RESTING.
At 4:30 o'clock that afternoon, as
they were resting in the mountains,
Miss Stone and Mrs. Tsilka were on
horseback and the rest on foot, they
were surrounded by thirty or forty
armed men. These men were dressed
in Turkish costumes, and were masked
Or blackened. They ordered the party
to march and drove them up the
steep mountain side.
Miss Stone told the bandits they were
taking them away from the road to rob
and perhaps kill them. She did not
speak of capture.
After travelling an hour the brigands
taking what gold they had but return
ing the silver.
When this was done one of them said
to Miss Stone:
''We want you," and ordered her and
Mrs. Tsilka to go with them. Miss
Stone made no remonstrance. Mr..
Tsilka made move to follow his wife,
but they forced him back.
A part of the brigands kept watch on
those who remained to keep them from
hurrying to inform the government,
but next morning let them go.
MAN OF PARTY MURDERED.
The brigands murdered one of the
party before the eyes of the captives to
get his horse. They took this animal
as well as the horses ridden by Miss
Stone and Mrs. Tsilka.
The students went to Samokov and
wired DIR. House, at Salonika, Miss
Stones station. He Immediately went
| to the American Consul and telegraph
ed Consul General Dickinson, who knew
Miss Stone.
The news spread over Bulgaria like
a flash, for Miss Stone was widely
known and greatly beloved.-World.

NON-UNIONISM.

The Columbus Press-Post is the or
gan of Democracy for all Central Ohio.
1t has held this position for several
years, and its standing in this respect
has not been questioned. The Press
Post is now being published by nom
union force from top to bottom. The
compositors, pressmen and stereo-
typers are all non-union men.
Colonel Kilbourne, the Democratic
candidate for governor, is a manufac-
turer. He employs a great many men.
He and his employees are on the best
of terms. and he never has had any
trouble with his men; but the Kill
bourne factory is non-union.
Did not the Democratic state con-
vention make a mistake in not adopt
ing a non-union plank? 1t would
seem so.

An Englishman named Grove was
fine classical scholar and distinguish
ed orator. He made his own position
in life, even at a time when classes
were far more seriously regarded in
England than they are at present
His father was a carpenter working
In the town of Winchester and on the
most loving terms with his SON. One
day the son, then an eminent man, was
standing near the cathedral door talk
ing to the dean and warden when his
father passed by.
The old man was in his working
dress. with his rule sticking from his
pocket, and was evidently willing to
spare the son a salutation, but the
young Grove called out in good Hamp-
shire dialect:

NUMBER 83.
A TAX poDeER.

Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland
should assume his own share of the
tax burden before insisting upon in
creasing that burdeA to others. His
fortune is estimated at five million
dollars. This year he returned only
fourteen thousand dollars valuation,
and this is the first year, according to
the officials, in which he has returned
any personal property for taxation in
Cleveland. His big steel plant at Lo-
rain, which went into the great Fed
eral steel combine at nine million dol
lars, he returned this year at but
$5O0,000 valuation. These are facts
which the voters and taxpayers of
Ohio should consider in making up
their estimate of Mr.. johnson and his
theories of taxation.

WARDEN GRAHAM'S
PECULIAR METHODS
Complaints From People at Lew
iStOwn Reservoir.
Receipts Said to Have been Pro.
cured Before the Claims
Were Settled.

The allegations of wrongful conver-
sion of money by former County Game
Warden Graham, made by the Norvill
boys, who aided him in his campaign
against the poachers at the Lewistown
reservoir, have caused a great deal of
comment in the circles in which Gra-
ham is known.
The Norvills allege that Graham Sc
cured the money from the state fish
and game commission to pay them for
their work and failed to turn it over to
them. They say they will prefer
charges of embezzlement against him.
State Game Warden Reutinger said
Thursday that the commission employ
ed Graham to go to Lewistown, telling
him to keep an accurate account of his
expenses and they would be paid. When
he returned he presented receipted
bills amounting to about S125 from all
those with whom he had dealings. The
receipts seemed to be all straight and a
voucher for them was drawn payable
to Graham. He drew the money and
his connection with the commission
ceased.
Later it was learned that before leav-
ing Lewistown he had secured the re-
ceirted bill from his assistants, the man
with whom he had boarded and other
parties, telling them that he.would
send the money to them as soon as he
reached Columbus and that by giving
him receipted bills in advance great
deal of time would be saved. Now al
thes persons allege that they have
never received a cent from Graham.
So far as the commission is concerned,
everything is straight, as the voucher
was only given to Graham on the pre-.
sentation of receipted bills from all
parties concerned.-Ohio State Journal

WHO WOULD VOTE
To Reverse the Present Condi-
tons of Trade

Tho Prosperity Of the Nation De-
pends on Republican Control Being
Continued.
Speaking of the opening of fall trade
at the capital of Ohio, with Septem-
ber, the Columbus Dispatch says, from
purely business standpoint, what
could be said just as truly of every
other city in our state:
This year there is abundant reason
to believe that the fall trade in all
lines will not be disappointing. Local
conditions have been quite conducive
to bright prospects. Never before in
Columbus have there been so many
men employed in various capacities.
The unprecedented activity in build
ing has given employment to more
men in this lines than ever before, and
the building of the new interurban
roads has given employment to many
laborers. In addition to this the oper-
alton Of several new plants and the
enlargement of several old ones have
been of inestimable stimulating value.
Reports from the eastern markets,
that are patronized by Columbus mer-
chants, show that the fall trade has
opened with volume that is little
short of phenomenal, many shipping
and packing departments working day
and night, in order to distribute the
goods promtly to every section of the
country. The freight receipts in CO.
lumbus show that we are getting our
choro of tboco cbipv,a ante bara opd <tic
in turn is assurance that Columbus
merchants have faith in a continuously
good business during the fall months.
''The clearing house reports of the
country show that the daily averages
Of exchanges for the month of August
exceeds last years by about A per
cent, a fact that is a most important
criterion of the activity of business.
Nor is this apparent acceleration con-
ned to a few kinLs of business. Ev-
cry branch of trade and manufacture
shares in the contribution to the en-
couraging conditions. Prices are good
and firm, and in some lines are high,
but the firmness in price is general,
SO that no especial hardship need be
anticipated from this source. Rains
during the past week have materially
relieved the fear that Ohio crops Of
table food will be SO scarce as to re-
suit in general hardship through the
state, and the farmers have been great
ly encouraged. Potatoes and vegeta-
bles may be short of the necessary
crop, but wheat and corn promise to
bring profitable results.
"All in all Columbus merchants have
much reason to be encouraged over the
fall trade now beginning. The calam-
ity bowler has no reason yet to open
his obnoxious mouth"

baIuation. A fair share of these audi
tors are Democrats; but do you know
of a Democratic auditor who ever de-
claTed publicly that any railroad in
his county was not paying its just
share of taxes? The Republican leg
islature this winter will attend to
that matetr, if it needs attention. The
party, in its state platform, is pledged
o such revision of the tax laws as will
make all property bear its share of
the burden. If legislation is shown
to be needed, it can be had, without
throwing the state under the control
of the Democratic party.

ROOSEVELT ON TAFT.
The Presidents Personal Tribute to
Governor of the Philippines.


Curiosity concerning President
Roosevelts policy in the Philippines
may be fully satisfied by a perusal of
an article in The Outlook on Gov
Crnor William Taft" which was writ
ten by the then Vice President, dur
ing the month of August last. That
article is remarkable, both as a per-
sonal tribute, and as a clear indica-
ton of the Presidents purpose.
The writer indorses the opinion that
the first governor of the Philippines
should combine the qualities which
would make a frst-cless President of
the United States, with the qualities
which would make first-class Chief
Justice of the United States, and the
further opinion that Judge Taft has
the combination. He adds:
Il dislike speaking in hyperbole, but
| think that almost all men who have
been brought in close contact, person
ally and officially, with Judge Taft are
agreed that he combines, as very, very
few men ever can combine, a standard
of absolutely unflinching rectitude on
every point of public duty, and lit
orally dauntless rourage and willing
| ness to bear responsibility, with a
! knowledge of men, and a far-reaching
tact and kindliness. which enable his
| great abilities and high principles to
| be of use in a way that would be i'm
| possible were he not thus gifted with
the capacity to work hand in hand with
his fellows"

DELAWARE OPENING.
Only Twelve Days After That
For Political Work.
The Initial Meeting to BE a Hummer.
Marching Clubs In Line-Two Meet
ings a Day to Be the Rule.


ings a Day to Be the Rule.
The opening meeting of the Republi-
can campaign in Ohio will be at Della
ware, on Saturday, October 10. All the
original arrangements will be carried
out. The most celebrated marching
clubs from the four great cities of the
state will be in attendance The splen-
didly-arrayed Railsplitters from
Toledo. the magnificent Blaine Club
from Cincinnati, the Tippecanoe Club
of Cleveland, and the Buckeye Club of
Columbus, will be there, with some
fifty other prominent local organiza-
ton, and thousands of individual Re-
publicans from all parts of the state.
The speakers will be Gov. George K.
Nash, the head of the Republican
ticket; Senators Foraker and Hanna,
and Hon. Carl l.. Nippert, candidate
for lieutenant governor.
After the opening there will be but
twelve weekdays until the election.
But they will be days of strenuous
work on the Republican firing line.
There will not be county but will
be visited by some Republican orator
of national repute. General Dick,
chairman of the Republican executive
committee, proposes to force the fight
ing, and to see that the citizens of the
state understand fully that vote for
the straight Republican ticket is a
vote of confidence in President Roose
velt's administration, and for the con-
tinuation of Mckinley good times.
Senator Foraker, from the 18th, will
speak not only every day, but twice
devote his efforts to the close coun-
ties of the state. for he, as a candi-
date for reelection to the Senate, is
interestd especially in the election of &
Republican majority to the next Gen
eral Assembly. Senator Hanna will
make a campaign quite as strenuous
and he will cover those portions of til
state to which Senator Foraker can
give little attention. Thus tie two Sen
ators will make a joint campaign
which will cover the state thoroughly
Governor Nash will be equally bus!
and speak twice a day wherever thai
is possible. Governor Shaw, of Iowa,
will spend the first week of the cam
paign with him. Other men of nation
al prominence will take part in the
Ohio campaign, including Senators
Fairbanks and Depew, and Speaker
Henderson of Iowa. Senator Patterson,
chief of the Speakers Bureau of the
State Executive Committee, is now ar
| ranging dates for the meetings.

Another Democratic trust that was
heard of a year ago has been COM
ing into prominence again, through the
campaign for the United States Sen
atorship in Arkansas. That is Demo-
cratic fight, with leaders of his own
party opposing for another term, Unit
ed States Senator Jones, who was
through both Bryan campaigns, chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee. They insist that his round cot
ton bale concern is trust, and that
his large investments in it make him
a friend of the trusts. Jones has done
his hardest to beg off, but they told
him to the point and seem to have
him fastened upon it pretty securely.

1t has just been made known to the
public that in the protocol which was
signed by the peace commissioners at
Pekin about month ago, there is an
article which provides specifically for
the maintenance of the "open door" by
the Chinese government. By the terms
of the instrument China consents to
free commerce and navigation, through
out the country, and this consent nat
urally carries with it a guarantee of
protection for those who engage in COM
