A DAY IN THE FOREST.
President Goes Hunting Near New
port, N. H. He KILLS
a BOar

Newport, N. H., Aug 3O.-President
Roosevelt was on Friday entertained
In manner to his liking. Instead Of
making numerous addresses, meeting
committees and INDUCING in hand
shaking, he plunged into the forest of
the Corbin preserve in the Croydon
mountain region and hunted big game,
and just before dark succeeded in
shooting boar. In few remarks
preliminary to his talk here, he had
disclaimed any intention to go hunt
lngt but Senator Proctor, who, like
the president, is good shot, induced
him to alter his determinat ton.
The president arrived shortly after
ten o'clock Friday forenoon, and after
being driven through the principal
streets, delivered short address in
the public square. The town had an
air of expectancy, since the presidents
coming had been looked upon as the
most notable event in it's history. No
sooner had he concluded his address
than rain began falling, and the pres
ident and those OF his party got q
thorough drenching. The president
refused all offers of umbrellas, saying
that his macintosh would be suffi-
Gent to protect him.

Specimen Of American Liberty.

The st. Paul Dispatch thus paints
the picture:
president Baer says that the state
ment of Mr.. Hewitt that the coal
operators are defending American
liberty exactly covers the ground
1t was Mr.. Baer who said that God,
10 His infinite wisdom, had commit
ted the control of property to Chris
tain men. We may now conclude that
He committed American liberty to
the same Christian men. II you would
get a specimen of Americal liberty
cut to the Baer plan, go to the retail
coal dealers and ask the price of coal.
Not one of them is free to shave the
price fixed by the Christian men" a
penny the ton. The board of control
found that a Chicago firm could not
sell coal to be delivered at points
north Of Hastings. The firms Amer
lean liberty stopped at Hastings.

wisdom, control of property, Ameri-

to the COrhin mansinn uhere Nrc

The arrangements included visit
to the Corbin mansion, where Mrs.
Corbin. widow of Austin Corbin, re-
cedved the president. After short
stay the long procession of carriages
moved over to the home Of George S.
Edgill, who, with Mrs. Edgill, enter
tanned the party at luncheon.
The president was given an hours
start ahead of his party. in order that
he might visit the clubhouse and don
hunting costume. Several times the
party caught up with him, and finally
he and Senator Proctor entered the
woods and became lost to view. Dark
ness was coming on when the party
returned here, and soon after their ar
rival Secretary Cortelyou telephoned
in that the president had shot a boar.
Upon their return from the woods
they spent the night at the clubhouse.
and it is not improbable that the presi-
dent will again try for large game
early this morning.

lndorses the Trusts.

at Newport, Rhode Island, in the
tour of New England, on %, of Aug,
President Roosevelt, in addressing the
tariff benefciaries Of Newport and its
millionaire manufacturers, he gave
this flattering assurance to the men
who are to furnish his campaign funds
in 1904.
"The great captain of industry is a
factor without which this country
could not possibly maintain it's pres
ent industrial position in the world.
Good, not harm, normally comes from
the pilling up of wealth through bust
ness enterprises. Probably the most
serious harm resulting to US, the peo-
pie of moderate means, is when we
harm ourselves by letting the dark
and evil vices of envy and hatred
towards our fellows eat into our ma
lures"
The operatives and mine workers of
the country ought to be thankful for
the information from the President
that it is "envy and hatred" instead
of an empty dinner pail and hungry
belly that is the affection Of them.
selves and their families. The ope-
rative ought to relapse into quiet and
subservience, upon this presidential
assurance that "good and not harm
comes from the pilling up of wealth, y
even though it comes through his own
robbery.

Mr.. Cannon's Candor.

Representative Cannon occupies a
prominent position in the Republican
party in Congress, and may be pre-
sumed to know the intentions OF its
leaders. Therefore when he says that
"the tariff will he revised some time,
butnot at the next session of Congress
or by the succeeding Congress-" the
people may know what to expectin the
direction Of relief from needless and
oppressive taxes and from monopoly
prices.

army recruiting Office in Sioux City
for two years or more. has decided to
purchase his release from the army
and will settle in home in Des
Moines with a wife whom he recently

Actively instrumental in bringing
about this result are the continued

the diverse reports from the different

Chance Raid Saves a Girls Life.

A chance raid by the police of a
Sioux City lodging house saved the
life of Anna q. Whylie, a Sioux Falls
girls. She had written letter to her
mother, telling her life was burden,
and was preparing to kill herself with
morphine, of which large quantity
was found on her person. The girls
life has been sad one. Her mother
at Sioux Falls is dissolute woman,
who insisted on putting her on the
street when she was twelve years old.
Since then the girls fall has been
rapid, and, though but twenty-one
years old, she is addicted to morphine
and is broken in health and spirit.
She fought the police at the station
and declared she would kill herself
there.

Just Criticism.

Mr.. Roosevelt is not doing the best
he can under the Sherman law Of 1890,
for the suppression of the trusts, says
the WorldHerald.
"The most simple court proceed
ing, when backed by a determined
prosecutor, is the criminal indlct-
ment; and 1T is significant that the
administration has made no effort to
employ the Indictment in it's alleged
campaign against the trust system.
An eminent lawyer recently gave it
as his opinion thpt the criminal IT,
dictment was not employed for the
simple reason that it would be etfec-
tive, and that these men who conspire
in restraint of trade could not escape
prision if they were arrested and Wig
orously prosecuted under the chief
feature of the federal antitrust law.
The Dubuque Telegraph-Herald
justly says:
"Although the Industrial Commits
sion reported that the mines are own
ed by the railroads and operated by
subsidiary companies and that this
arrangement is in violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law, and that the
coal barons are properly subject to
criminal prosecution, that boosted,
inflated, self-vaunted champion OF the
people, rich in words and poor in wis
;professing on the one hand friend
ship for the masses and on the other
hand holding firm in defense OF special
interests, Theodore Roosevelt fails to
instruct his attorney general to pro-
coed against the coal trust, disrupt it,
break its power and thus end its ar
rogance and its opulence.
The public differences Of President
Roosevelt and his notorious inactivity
in proceeding against the trusts, stamp
him with the brand of the cheap poll
ticion. 1t is in his power to end the
coal strike, for if he intimated prose-
cution, j. p. Morgan, head of the
combine, would take the cue and d.
rect settlement of the strike.
The republican party is responsible
for mary abuses and few are more
fragrant than its protection of the coal

Edward ]. Dahms, a young attorney,
commenced suit for an Injunction

the Iowa mulct law for the first time
in that city. The law provides that
there shall be no screens, free lunches,
chairs, tables, card games, female
help, rear entrances. ETC., about sa-
looms and none of its stringent pro-
visions have ever been observed here,
although enforced in many Iowa cities.
Attorney Dahms says other suits will
follow, and the saloonkeepers are
worried.
