Victor, Col, June S.-Two hemp
ropes knOtted with a moose for hanging
were lying on a table in the room
where the Cripple Creek district Mine
Owners association held heated dis
cussion behind closed doors. The

discovery of what they regarded as evil

the Victor miners union for wholesale
assassination of mine owners and min

forty marked photographs found by
Lieutenant Keegan in the union hall.
On the back of some OF the photos was
the name of James Cochran, secretary
of the union. The photos were of
groups of men employed in various
mines The most important one was
a group of the night shift of the Vim

twenty portraits, five of which were
numbered from 1 to 5. On the back
were written the names of the persons
numbered OF the five names those Of
Charles Mccormick and Mel Beck had

were killed in the Vindicator explO-

are crossed out the names Of some of
the men who have disappeared and

HACKETrs SPLENDID SPEECH.
In Absence Of Glenn and Webb, the
Crowd is Captivated by the Ora
tory OF Hon. 4. n. Hackcut
(Gastonia GaZette.)

Neither Glenn nor Webb was pres
ent at Dallas yesterday The former
was engaged in the White murder case
at Salisbury and the latter was held al
Rutherford court by an important suit
which consumed most of last week and
is still in progress. Both men sent
their earnest regrets.
To fill the appointment Chairman
simmons detailed Hon. Il. N. Hackett
of WilkesbOro. He is a man of hand
some figure, strong voice, and an easy
attractive manner Of speech.
We cannot give a synopsis of h s
speech. Even if we could we could
not portray the tide of eloquence upon
which his thoughts were borne along.
He spoke an hour and a half discuss
ing first national issues and then State
issues. While his speech was not de-
void of the humorous anecdOte, ii was
almost entirely without lcvity His
closing sentences reached the height
of genious elo"uencc. and as he re-
ferred to the loss of his mother and
father and sisters, which left him mo
father but God, no mother but North
Carolina" and appealed to the patriot
ism of his hearers his sentiments were
fairly electrifying.

THE PRESIDENT A "WILLIN'
BARKIS."

Elsewhere we print extracts from a
number of leading and influential
Eewspapers-enough to convey an idea
of how the letter of acceptance of
President Roosevelt has been received.
Particular attention of readers is in
vited to the comment of the New York
Herald. 1t is a masterful, concise and
clear-cut resume and answer of the
letter 1t is a complete and perfect
answer and refutation in brief COM
pass. 1t should be put in the hands
of every voter in America, and every
political speaker should use the Her
AIDS spirit and manner in discussing
the letter. Mr.. Roosevelt defiantly
challenges his opponents to point out
wherein his administration and party
have been wrong. The Herald point
eddy and effectively does this. The
Democratic speakers should follow the
same plan by giving bills of particu-
lars; they can do so in such way as
to convince the independent and
peace-loving voters of America that
there are many satisfactory reasons for
a return of the government to it's ira
Gitional policy.

Upon the policy of imperialism
with which the letter deals rather
briefly, Mr. Roosevelt stands. as he
does on the policy of DlngleyIsm, for
it's perpetuation. Here. too. he uses
no equivocal expression. There is
not a policy, foreign or domestic,
which we are now carrying on which
it would not be disastrous to reverse
or abandon" This will be enough
to satisfy the minds of Independent
voters that. if elected, Mr. Roosevelt
proposes to press forward his costly
and dangerous imperialiStic schemes
especially as he now expresses the
hope that "our hands will be upheld
by all who feel love of country and
truth in the uplifting OF mankind"
No one will have any Difficulty in dis
covering what is meant by measures
for ''the uplifting of mankind after
the exploits Of the Republican party
in Hawaii and Panama, which ares
manifestly but samples of what we
should see on a ia" grander scale of
territorial expansion and aggrandize-

country will now know from these
authoritative announcements of the
Republican standard bearer into

AMOUNTS TO NOTHING.

Some Republicans last week were
greatly elated because the Republcan
majority was increased in Vermont.
This week some equally fooilsh
Democrats may be elated because the
democrats have made gains in Maine
WHY should sensible men take cog
,,izance of the result in Maine or YER
mont? 1t does not even to a remote
deeree affect the result in November
Roth States are Republican just as Ar
kansas is Democratic. What boots it
whether the Republicans have 10000
or 100000 in Vermont or the Demo-
Gratis 10. 900 or 100000 in Arkansas?
The silly season is over, and lets
have an end of this talk about 1.-The
significance of the result in Arkansas
ar Maine. 1t has no significance at all
and will not in the least affect the
November election. That election will
be determined by the six doubtful

JUDGE BADGER'S PORTRAIT.

An observant North Carolinian. Wis
iting the Navy Department some time
ago, remarked upon the fact that no
portrait of the late George E.Badger
Secretary of the Navy in 1S41. adorn-
ed the walls of the Department,
though there were portraits of the
other Secretaries of the Navy. 1t was
known to North Carolinians that
portrait of Judge Badger had at one
time hung in the Department. An ar
ticIe in the last issue of the Army and
Navy Register tells of the finding of
the portrait of this great North Caro-
linian:
Covered with cobwebS and dust
and cracked with age, portrait OF
George e. Badger, Secretary OF the
Navy in 1871. was discovered in a re-
mote corner of a lumber room at the
Naval Academy last week by Super
intendent Charles w. Stewart, OF the
naval war records office and library
For years Mr.. Stewart and other Navy
Department officials have been search
ing for picture of Mr.. Badger. When
the history of North Carolina was
written a few years ago no portrait
III
There were no records to show that
the Navy Department or the Naval
Academy had ever had an oil paint
ing Of the distinguished North Caro-
linian. 1t was a great surprise When
the excellent portrait was found
Secretary Morton and other depart
ment officials expressed pleasure with
Mr.. Stewards find. The portrait VIII
be hung in the reception room OF the
Of If
cleaned and vanished. The portrait
is far superior to most of the pictures
the Department has of former sec
retaries. Beneath the picture OF the
venerable North Caro!inian is a plate
which bears the following 1nfOrma-
ton concerning his career: Hon.
George e. Badger. Born. NeWpern'
N. c., 1775. Died. Raleigh n. Z.
1866. Major in war of 1912. Judge
of Superior Court Secretary of Navy,
1871. United States Senator. 1916 to
1854" The portrait was painted. ap-
parently when Mr.. Badger was not
more than fifty years old. 1t shows
him as g remarkably fine looking
man. He is represented seated IN q
chair in an easy position. and the
stiffness which characterizes the old
portraits of statesmen gathered in
Washington is lacking. Mr.. Badger
is pictured rs n round-faced man,
ruddy cheeks. a small dark mustache
and large eyes with a kindly express
sion. His dark hair is rather long
and brushed back straight from his
forehead. He wears a high pointed
collar with open front. His coat is
the traditional! back broadcloth worn
by all statesmen of his time"
Mr.. Badger was one of the greatest
men of his day, SO esteemed by Web
ster who in a letter introducing him
to Choate, said: Judge Badger is
YOUR equal and my superior" 1t is
q matter for qualification that the
portrait has been rescued from the
cobwebs will be made new. and Will
take it's place with the other famous
men who have been at the head of
the navy portfolio in the cabinet. 1T
is a little singular that no North
Carolinian has held a place in the
Cabinet except as Secretary OF the
Navy. Four North Carolinians-
Graham, Branch. Dobbin and Badger,
two Democrats and two Whigs-held
that position and added lustle 10 tneir
state IN that high station.

1t is Rooseveltian. It might be

pronoun grows, and after following
him and comparing what he says ana
quotes from what he has said with
the calm and dignified speech he IN
terpolates from the lamented Mckln-
ley, one feels that in the event of re-
election Mr.. Roosevelt will set ms
rule under the motto of Il am the

But Mr.. Roosevelt makes a cunning
effort at frankness.

Combination of Bluff and BOmbast.
Constitution.

If Theodore Roosevelt has any sense
of humor in his makeup. he must
have grinned continuously at the
image in the imperial mirror before
him as he sat writing his letter OF
acceptance. Every line, every word
he has written in commentator of
the Republican party for its stand
upon the issues to which he refers is,
by inference, a condemnation Of that
party's present candidate for the
Presidency whose only consistency in
politics has been his never-endlng IN
consistency.
AS a combination of bluff and bonn
bast, the letter is worthy its author.
The shifty politician is in evidence
at every turn. He has carefully
lodged the danger points. passing
hurriedly over the several periods OF
Republican vacillation which might
have disturbed the effect of his con-
sistency argument. and he comes out
hard and strong with the old stock
arguments on protection.
