SAYS YELLOW EDITORIALS
WERE CAUSE OF TRAGEDY
Speech Was Delivered With
Intention of Showing That
Roosevelt and Hearst Have
Different Views.
Publishers PressI

Utica. \. Y, Nov. 1.-The brand OF
assassin was attempted to be plac-
ed upon the forehead of William r.
Hearst tonight. In a scathing speech
Hon. Elihu Root. secretary of state
in the presidents cabinet held the
Democratic candidate for governor
responsible for the death of the mar.
tyred Mckinley.
He declared that he spoke by au.
thority of President Roosevelt.
This was one of the most sensa-
tional of the many climaxes that have
punctuated the closing days OF the
gubernatorial campaign in this state.
1t was the most relentless denuncia-
ton of a public man ever heard.
rs there no one left who loved Nc
kinley?" the speaker asked after
reading extracts from Mr. Hearst's
newspaper previous to the assassi-
nation. in support of his charges that
Hearst urged the shooting at Buffalo.
Are there no working men left in
New York;" he demanded. who can
not see what satisfaction honors
heaped upon a man who is not guilt
less of McKinley's death?"
Hearst and Roosevelt Far Apart
Later in urging the election of can
didate Hughes and in pleading for
the laboring man to not be misled in
the support OF man whom he had
repeatedly denounced as dangerous
skilful, violent and unworthy dema-
gogue, the Secretary declared that
President Roosevelt and Hearst stood
as far apart as the pole asunder.
Listen to what President Roosevelt
himself has said of Mr.. Hearst and
his kind" declared Secretary Root
earnestly. In President Roosevelts
first message to congress, in speak
ing of the assassin of Mckinley he
spoke of his as infiamed by the reck-
less utterances of those who. on the
stump and in the public press APP
malice and greed, envy and sullen ha-
tred The wind is sowed by the men
who preach such doctrines, and they
can not escape their share of respon-
sibility for the whirlwind that is reap
ed. This applies alike to the deliber-
ate demagogue, to the exploiter OF
sensationalism, and TO the crude and
foolish visionary who, for whatever
reason, apologies for crime or ex-
cites aimless discomfort
Roosevelt Meant Hearst.
Il say continued Secretary Root,
by the Presidents authority, that in
penning those words with the horror
of President MciKnley's murder
fresh before him, he had Mr.. Hearst
specifically in his mind. And / say,
by his authority, that what he thought
of Mr.. Hearst then he thinks of Mr..
Hearst now
These charges, concluding a speech
of unusual bitterness fell with as
force upon the Secretary's
hearers because of the understanding
that it was this portion of his speech
that the President had prepared by
his own hand to meet the recent
claims of the Hearst managers that
their candidate and President Roose-
yelt entertained the same views upon
all public questions.
Charles E. Hughes followed Secre-
Lary Root with speech.

CHARLES B HANFORD,
AS MARC ANTONY" in
JULIUS CAESAR.

There is q vigorous oratorical
swing in the part of Marc Antony"
In Julius Caesar" which makes 1t
an especially suitable role for an ac-
tor possessing the graces OF perso-
nality and the elementory power
which have always been commented
on as distinguishing characteristics
OF Charles b. Hanford. 1t is a re-
markable thing that Mr. Hanford
should. almost at the outset OF his
career have stepped into the role
with which he has always been most
brilliantly identified. AS BELTS the
man OF his vocation Mr.. Hanford
has in his time played many parts,
but none of them has eclipsed his
representation OF this dashing virile
Roman orator whose eloquence turn
ed the sentiments of the mob from
hatred into pity. Although 1t has
been a long time since Mr.. Hanford
was seen as Marc Antony" the
students OF the stage still refer to
him as the beau ideal OF that char
acter. His appearance Nm this
city at the Elks Opera House on
Tuesday Oct. 2 will be awaited
with even more than the great in
terest which the announcement OF
Hanford engagement always arous-
es.

"ANCHOR"
Is the best Steel Range on the market and the
Price Is Riaht.

In fact the Anchor is the only Range on the
market that has any particularly distinct fea-
lures The manufacturers of THE range have
broken away from the worn out traditions of
range building and have constructed a dur
able and beautiful Range full of efficient,
modern features.
This Range is 80 constructed that the Smoke
Flue comes out at the Back, thereby leaving
ooth the top OF the range as well as the
arming closet without any distractions
They are made from heavy Cold Rolled Steel
Plate, the bake oven being made of ten gauge
Steel Plate, this being the heaviest material
ever known in Steel Range construction. The
oven fues are double with thick Asbestos Ca I'd
Boards between the two steel plates, therefore
making the oven understandable and a perfect
baker, as the asbestos lining holds the heat in
the oven where it should be and prevents it
radiating out into the room in hot weather
and making it very uncomfortable for the one
doing the cooking.

RELICS OF JAMESTOWN.
Site of Exposition battle-ground of
Conflicts Between Early Settlers
and Indians.

OF all the Smiths who have ever
lived, Captain John is becoming the
most famous. due to the prominence
given TO his doings. incident TO the
jamestown Exposition. The romantic
days Of Pocahontas and Captain John
Smith are wildly recalled by the old
Indian and frontiersmen's relics which
have been dug up i'm preparing the
ground for the jamestown Exposition.
The site selected for the celebration
Of the three hundredth az versary OF
the first permanent English settlement
in America was once an Indian village
occupied by the Powhatans, the most
powerful tribe of the early American
Indians. who roamed over the country
east OF the Ohio River several CEN
turtles ago.
Near the State Exhibits Building
stands n majestic live oak tree, the
"Powhatan Oak" estimated TO be
nearly 1000 years old, which was
favorite camping ground of the In
dams before America was discovered
by the Palefaces. Here were held
councils of war when the only weap-
ons I'm use We're stone hatchets, stone
war clubs, spears with stone points
and bows and arrows. The arrow
heads used were made of flint, clipped
down TO a cutting edge, almost as
sharp as n knife, every arrow head
representing many hours of hard and
patient toll. Scores of these flint ar
row-heads are being found on the Ex-
position ground, in eXcavating for
streets and buildings. Some of them
are broken, perhaps by striking some
foe of the Indians In battle or some
wild ANIMAL those days the woods
about Hampton Roads were alive with
deer, bear and other animals. At Sc
wells Point where these relics are
found were fought bloody battles be-
tween the early English settlers and
the Indians ard, according To old In
dian traditions, this was also the
BATTLE ground on which warning In
dian tribes desperately contended for
the right of domain. long before the
occurrence of the historic event which
the jamestown Exposition commemo-
rates. The valuable fisheries of what
are now called Hampton Roads and
Chesapeake Bay, tie beautiful hunt
ing grounds along the water courses
and the many attractions peculiar TO
this locality made this particular
point of land very desirable, and for
its possessions Indian tribes warred
with one another. Now. after cen
turtles have gone by and the old In
dian nations that once controlled this
region have passed away. their an
cient battle fields have been trans
formed into u magnificent information

corporate limits of the city Of Norfolk,

cluded that he would gain in both
purse and pleasure by going back to
the farm. Such a young man, and
there are many like him in the Norton
County High School, would have well
coined an agricultural course, and
would have gone back to the farm
much better prepared for the duties of
life than he was with a business train
ing. So the county superintendent OF
schools and the other members of the
board of trustees decided that an
agricultural course should take the
place of the general science course, and
hired a graduate of the Kansas State
Agricultural College to teach agricul-
ture and other sciences in the high
school. Secretary Wilson of Agricul-
ture, while making a trip through the
"short-grass country" learned of the
enterprise. became much interested in
1t. and In response to an appeal for
aid sent representative of the Office
OF Experiment Stations to Norton to
help start 1t. The president OF the
Kansas State Agricultural College also
responded to a call for assistance and
