Joe Mitchell Chapple Says Diploma

ular Ideal of Mckinley.
COMMEND HIS CONSERVATISM
IDEA OBTAINS ABROAD THAT THE
SENATOR is A SAFE MAN.
Many Republicans Call at State Head
quarters-Albert w. Wishard Re.
turns from Washington.

Indiana people would have reason for
feeling additional pride in their senior sena-
tor if they could hear the expressions of
commendation of his public career that
heard from Americans abroad" said Joe
Mitchell Chapple, of Boston, editor of the
National Magazine, who recently returned
from attending the coronation of King Ed
ward.
"A gentleman connected with the Ameri-
can diplomatic corps, whose name Is IA
miliar in two continents. asked me par
ticularly about the senator. Over here
said he to me. we have a notion that Sena-
tor Fairbanks comes more nearly measur-
ing up to the popular ideal Of the late
President Mckinley than most any other
man in American public life.'
1.-THE same diplomatist said he had been
impressed by the universal commendation
among Americans abroad of the senator's
Labor day speech, which was widely pub
lished in Europe and commented upon edi-
torially. He predicted career for Senator
Fairbanks that would be cause for increas.
ing pride to Hoosiers everywhere because
of his conservatism, sound Judgment and
freedom from the arts of political dema-
gogy Such qualifications, said he-and
agree with him-are getting more and more
in demand in this country where the fate
of great interests. commercial and indus
trial as well as political. that affect all
classes alike may hang upon the utterances
as well as the acts of men charged with
great political responsibilities"
Mr.. Chapple, who left here for St Louis
to write up the exposition plans. went to
the coronation bearing an autograph letter
of introduction from President Roosevelt.
He was an eyewitness Of the ceremony and
later dined with Ambassador Choate, Lord
Rosebery, Balfour and other men of inter-
national renown.

BILE. Senator Delivers distinction as an
orator and statesman insured him in ad-
vance the enthusiastic reception he received
from audience that filled the First Reg
iment Armory. Interest became intense
when it was realized by the delegates to the
convention and spectators that they were
being treated to the first public speech on
the subject by a national leader of the
party since the Iowa Republican State con-
vention. Mr.. Dolliver said in part:
Let us look at the Iowa idea for a mo-
ment, and I select that only because L
am more familiar with it and be-
cause circumstances have arisen to
give 1t a universal advertisement.
1t has been presented to the country
as the sudden impulse of dissatisfied mis-
chief-makers within the Republican party.
On the other hand, it is the mature judg-
ment of a man whose wisdom has never
failed the Republican party in the forty
years of his uninterrupted public service
"Our people recognize the value of a large
capital for the transaction of a great busi-
ness, and especially for the commercial
conquests upon which We are now entering.
But they recognize also the danger of
abuses, both In the organization and the
management of great Industrial enterprises

United States stand between the community

The following telegram was sent by

There has been placed In my hands in

CHANGE OF SENTIMENT.
Operators Representatives Think
Conference VIII Hasten Settlement.

SCRANTON. Pa, Oct. 2.-Sentiment
among the representatives of the coal op-
orators here has undergone a change since
yesterday regarding the action of Pres
ident Roosevelt in assuming the role of an
intermediary to settle the strike. Yester-
day they said the only effect Of the Pres
ident's action would be to put off the sur
render Of the miners as many days as there
were in the interim between the first an
nouncement OF his intention to intervene
and the announcement of the result-or,
rather. lack Of result-of the conference.
To-day these same men say the White
House conference will hasten the end of
the strike; that IL will show the miners
that no third party, not even the President
of the United States, can bulge the opera
tors from their position. and that once this
Is realized the strikers will weaken.
