ROOSEVELT NAILS 4 LIE.
FAKE ARTICLE BY HIM DE-
 N0UNCING LABOR UNIONS.

Denver by Western Federation of
 NIiners-An Absurd and Impudent
 Forgcry-Instructio Given fo Try
 md Discover the Authors.
 Butte, Mont. Sept. 2. When Senator Fairbanks and his party arrived here to-day they found the republican lead- CTS much exercised over the publication iii the Miners Magazine, published at Denver by the Western Federation of Miners, of what purported to be de- nunciation of labor unions by President Roosevelt, and a denial of it's authen- ticity by the president. The presidents s contradiction was sent to former Sena- tor Lee Mantle in response to a tele- gram of inquiry from him, and was as follows:
 White House, Washington, Sept 26.
 Your telegram received. The letter you refer to, purporting to be addressed by me to Michael Donnelly and printed in the Miners Magazine of September 22, is, of course, an absurd and iinpu- dent forgery. I have written no such letter, nor any letter even resembling 1t, to MT. Donnelly nor any one else. I have written Mir. Donnelly requesting to know if he has received any such letter, and requesting him, if SO to at once lay it before the district attorney 6Nf sible to discover and punish the forgers.
 (Signed) Theodore Roosevelt"
 The letter in which the president was reported to have made his attacks on union labor was addressed to Michael Donnelly, of Chicago, president of the Butchers and Meat Cutters union. The document is given in full, with Presi- dent Roosevelt's name attached, but without date, and it is stated that it was written in response to an appeal by Donnelly to him to interfere for the settlement of the late butchers strike. Following are some extracts from it:
 T stand ready to do as my illustrious predecessor, Grover Cleveland, did, and assert the power of this nation against all local nullifiers."
 Last summer I felt compelled to write letter calling upon my country men to put down lynching. But labor union terrorism and crime are as great Ia national menace as lynch law.
 Let me tell you that the first duty of the officers of the law, whether they be sheriff, constable, municipal officers, mayors, governors, or the president himself, is to maintain public order and put down the mob with an iron hand. 3
 After advising Donnelly to put a stop to the strike, the president is repre- scented as saying:
 "In any case, be assured will keep my hands off unless your folly brings you into collision with the laws of the United States, when my hand will go on in way yau will not like. So far as I am concerned you have parked up the wrong tree. am not to be either wheedled or frightened into meddling with what is none of my business"

when they have a good cigar" said a
well-known Philadelphian. Il was
riding home from Essington one day,
and the friend who was with me sug-
gested that we stop at a country store
and buy a smoke. I had a few good
cigars in my pocket, but as my friend
said to be sure to get ffteen-centers,
l thought I would test his taste. laid
down a nickel and got three cigars for
it. Then l went out into the road
and gave my friend one of them. How
do you like it2' I asked. after he had
taken a few puffs. In all seriousness
he replied: This is a better cigar
than / get at home, and you know ]
pay fifteen cents apiece for my
smokes. Well when I told him he
had been smoking a 'three-for-fve' he
wouldn't believe it at first. and when
I convinced him to the contrary he
was offended. philadelphia Record.

Ancient Highways in England May Be

Reserved for Machines.
It would be an odd coincidence If
along the Roman roads of Great Brit
ain, where once the chariots clattered
on the pave, the more terrible auto-
mobile we're now to take its turn, says
tne New York World
1t may be- The public safety on
the present town roads may demand
it. The old Roman roads run straight,
seldom coming near a town en- route
What could be better?
Many of the public roads can no
longer be used by pedestrians, espe-
cially by old persons or children, by
riders and drivers of horses, or by BIZ
cyclists, without incurring risk.
A remonstrance on behalf of amt
mails has also been raised, according
to United States Consul Hamm Of
Hull. In a recent letter to the presi-
dent of the automobile club. Mr.. F. E.
Pirds, chairman of the National Ca.
nine Defense league, enters on be-
half of his committee a strong pro-
test against the terrible slaughter"
of dogs "A rather well known auto
mobilist is in the habit of boasting
that he has killed over fifty dogs dur
ing a recent tour, and another "a wom-
an motorist, / regret to say) has been
heard to exclaim: That is nothing, we
run over a dog every time we go
out"
The result of this agitation of the
subject is a proposition from some
members of the Roads Improvement
association to repair and adapt the
old Roman roads to the requirements
of motor car and cycle traffic, and a
subcommittee was appointed to con-
slider whether it would be possible to
make use of these ancient highways
(which in many cases are almost en-
tirely disused)
In the event Of an invasion of Eng
land motor wagons will be much used,
and in that case direct roads like
these old Roman ways would obvious
ly be an immense advantage.
