flood Crest Reached

Pittsburg, March 4.-The crest of the
foo reached here this morning when
the HEIRS Island mark showed twenty
eight feet one inch, in the Allegheny
river at that point.
The water is now slowly receding
and no further danger is apprehended,
the cold wave having checked the rise.
The damage done by the flood prob
ably will not exceed $3.50, 900.
Along Pin Greek and in the Turtle
Creek Valley. especially, the havoc was
beyond n done in recent years.
Industrial establishments along the
two rivers were compelled to close
down and thousands of men Were
thrown out of work.
The railroads of the district suffered
to an unusual extent. So far as known
there were no lives lost.

WAR ON POOL ROOMS
It Was Not Made for Moral
Reasons, However

New York, March Am open war
has been declared on pool rooms here
by the telegraph company, which sup
plies returns from the various race
tracks. Suddenly deprived of their In
formation after the jockeys and odds
for the first race of the afternoon had
beer received, more than one hundred
rooms where bettors c~ongregated, were
thrown out of business until the larger
concerns established telephone connec-
ton with rooms in Chicago where the
necessary news was obtained.
The trouble grew out of notice serv-
ed upon the pool room syndicates In
January. increasing the assessment for
Geographic service and informing the
gamblers that an inspector from the
company's office must at all times have
free access to the rooms.
When the telegraph saunders sud-
denly stopped, there was an anxious
inquiry from all parts of the city and
the managers were informed that they
had been cut off because the inspector,
although admitted, had not been per-
mitted to carry out their orders in
many of the larger establishments and
that the company had decided to en-
force it's wishes in the manner stated.

The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1904-09-15

Pres. Roosevelt presented his
letter of acceptance on Monday.
It is significant fact that the
strongest argument in favor of a
continuance of republican suprem-
acy is simple recital of what that
party has done and is doing IN the
management Of public affairs.
Such a statement is found in the
presidents letter. There is no
dodging of issues and no hiding of
intentions by the use of uncertain
language which may be interpret
ed in any way to suit the reader.
Every issue is met fairly and hon.
estly. The charge of extravaganza
in public affairs, that has been so
prominently made by Judge Par
ker, is explained in a way that
convicts his accusers either OF lg-
norance or of misrepresentation.
The letter will furnish plenty OF
nuts to crack by the opposition
during the campaign, with strong
probability that in the attempt
they will pound their own fingers.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1904-09-15

Henry Waterson, editor Of the
Louisville Courier Journal, and
one of the mouthpieces of the dem
ocratic party, has stated the prin-
cipal issue in the present cam
paign. He says:
The issue before US is whether
the people will allow the republi-
can party to grow so potent as to
entrench itself in power so that
nothing short of some dire convul-
sion shall be able to uproot it, or
whether they shall, before it be too
late, take Roosevelt and Fairbanks
by the hand and bid them stand
aside whilst, in the persons of Par
ker and Davis, they take into their
own hands the lost balance of pow.
er.
Stripped of all useless verbiage
this issue is simply this. "We are
hungry. Give US a taste at the
public crib" For the good of those
who supply the crib it may be an
advantage to feed those that are
not SO hungry.

The republican county conven-
ton will meet in Tyndall next Sat-
urday to select county and legis-
lative ticket from the large and
creditable list of aspirants. In
making the selection a proper dis
tribution as well as a proper re-
gard for the qualifications of can
didates should be observed. Scot
land, which casts nearly fifty per
cent more republican votes than
any other precinct in the county,
will ask for three places on the
ticket-Engel for treasurer, Cobb
for sheriff, and Wicks for county
judge. This is certainly a modest
claim, and the qualifications of the
candidates can not be questioned.

Chas. A. Towne, the political
chameleon, who left the republican
party and gained notoriety as a
free silver anti-monopoly demo-
crat, then on the strength of that
notoriety went to New York and
became a fnancier, is not proving
a grand success in his new role.
His big oil enterprise at Beaumont,
Tex, which he organized in the
East with a capital of several mil
lions of dollars, was sold under the
hammer last week for $15O.OOO.
Good judgment doesn't always go

According to reports from Wasl

According to reports from Wash
ington Henry Fl. Rogers, a repre-
sentative of the Standard Oil Co.,
recently called on Pres. Roosevelt
and demanded that legal proceed
ings against trust combinations
should be stopped. When his de-
mands were rejected with charac-
teristic frmness by the president
he replied, "Then there will be
war;" "War or no war;" said the
president, "I will be no weakling.
The law shall be no by-word with
me-" In speaking Of this inter
view the Sioux Falls Press says:
The discussion between the
Standard Oil magnate and the
president Involved the real issue
before the public, though it has
been kept under the cover of expe-
diency by both of the great politi-
cal parties. In taking so firm a
stand, in the midst of an election
campaign in which favor is prefer
able to enmity, Mr.. Roosevelt is
entitled to the applause of all who
admire courageous act.
