The Argus-Leader does not
like the attitude of the HERALD
in regard to those letters of Sen
ator Gamble that it published
last week. We can assure the
AL. that we have readthe afote-
mentioned letters and have not
the slightest objection to publish
lug them. We will even go be-
yond what is shown in these let
ters and call to mind the fact that
when Crawford was first can
dldate Gamble sent out circu-
lar letter directed against his can
didacv. In fact there has not
been selfish or tyrannical deal
put through by the machine to
which Gamble was not a party
till a few months ago. In short
Gamble supported, and his sup
port was accepted by, the mem
of the machine combiue till they
were bound by the rules that us
ually obtain among gentlemen to
give him support in return. But
obligations rest lightly upon our
esteemed machine bretheren and
having no further use for Gamble
! hey kicked hin, out. Our Yanktor
Senator and his friends then ate
a big dish of crow and are now
back with their original friends
We see no reason for holding vi
CANDLES past against him now
4 He is leaving the machine whil,
Martin is going to it. The HER
AID is willing to accept Gamble
support even if he has ASSOCIATED
with the Argus-Leader's friend
in the past.

The Game Of Snip.

Quickness Of thought is necessary
for good luck with this game. There
are almost no rules for playing. a
leader is agreed upon, and this one
points a finger at any player he
chooses, doing ittsuldenly and unex-
pectedly. That child must at once
speak four words, rapidly and in
proper succession-wor words whose int
tial letters will spell the word
Snip" Such a. string of words as
soap, nose, ice, peas, would answer
the requirement. When a player
cannot do this or cannot do it
swiftly enough Snip is called out
to him and he has to become leader.

OUR MID WEEK SERMON

The prudent man forseeth the evil |

The old proverb says, "Be wise
IN time that you may be happy in

provision for the future as well
as for the present time, and hap
py is the man who finds the end
better than the beginning God
in his mercy has hid the future
from us, but has given US hope
and prudence. By hope he is
continually expecting good; by
prudence he derives and employs
means to secure it. The prudent
man has eyes and sees, the simple
man has eyes but sees not; the
prudent plans for the future, the
simple has no thought for what
may come. Be watchful, be
ready for in such an hour as YOU

HIT EXPRESS NEXT
interstate Commerce Commits
sioners Propose to Investi-
gate Companies.
HAVE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS
Lowering of Rates Probable, with
Fight. in Courts Logical Con-
sequence.

Chicago, Dec. 22-The interstate
commerce commission is preparing to
make a thorough investigation into the
rates charged by the big express com
psBie Of the, country for. ascertainine
whether .tAey are excessive; CopafaJs7
sioner Franklin. Lane stated yesterday
that it had been iatended to hold the
first hearing sat Washington on Dec. 2S.
He thought that for reasons which re-
Gently had developed it might be post
poned short time Within a few
weeks, however, hearings will be held
at Washington and Chicago, and prob
ably at New York and other points.
Many Complaints Are In.
The commission can only inquire into
the reasonableness of the rates of COM
mon carriers, and change them after
formal complaint and hearing. Mr..
Lane stated that a number of COM
plants had been received from all
parts of the country that the rates of
express companies are excessive, and
that, therefore, the commission will
conduct practically a general investi-
cation, taking all these complaints up
at the same time.
First Inquiry of Express Rates.
The inquiry regarding express rates
will be one of the first fruits of the
provision of the new rate law specific
ally making express companies and
sleeping car companies common car
riers. Until the new law went into
effect on Aug. 81 the commission had
no jurisdiction over these companies.
1t now has the same authority over
them as it has over the railways.
There has been loud complaint for
years that express rates were exces-
sive. but no body representing the gov
ernment has been able to take any ac-
tion in reference to them.
Should the commission order reduc
tions it is expected that the express
companies will fight the matter out in
the courts, and thus the validity of the
provision of the new law in reference
to them will be put to the test

ST. Louis, Dec. 22.-The cage at the

occupants in the debris at the bottom
of the shaft
Was No Explosion.
Later it was discovered there was
no explosion. The noise occasioned by
the cage striking the bottom of the
shaft caused the report an explosion
had occurred
The accident took place as the sec
ond cage full of day shift miners was
descending into the mine. The cage

feet down the 400foot shaft, when It
struck mOmentarily and then went
crashing to the bottom.

Interesting Facts Brought Out
by Suicide of Woman
at New York.

New York. Dec. Arrangements
for the funeral of Mrs. Lulu Grover,
who committed suicide here two weeks
ago, were made by President Roose-
welt, according to facts unearthed by
detectives of the East Hundred and
Twenty-siXth street station.
The woman left a will bequeathing
all her property to the president and
leaving two Angora cats in his care.
The arrangements for the funeral of
Mrs. Grover were carried out by Uni
ted States District Attorney Stimson
and secret service operatives. Secret
service men also seized all of Mrs.
Growers letters, papers, and other pos
sessions and took them away from the
house in which she killed herself. The
only mouTneTs at the funeral outside
the undertaken and his daughter were
Mrs. Richard II. Connor of One Hun
dred and Twenty-sixth street and Park
avenue and Secret Service Operative
Tate The body was cremated at the
crematory in the Bronx and Mr.. Tate
took charge of the ashes.
Romance of Ranching Days.
Mrs. Connor was Mrs. Growers clos
est friend, and knew more of her his
tory than any other person. She said
that Mrs. Grover was the daughter of
Dakota ranchman. She married at
the age of II, and when IS years old
became a widow. About that time
Theodore Roosevelt, fresh from Har-
ward. went to Medora, N. D., and bought
a ranch.
Mrs. Grover lived near Medora. and
was one of the few women in that sec
ton in those wild days. She often told
Mrs. Connor of long rides she took
over the prairies with the young New
Yorker.
There appears to have been an inter
val of many years, according to Mrs.
Connor. between the time Mrs. Grover
knew young Roosevelt in Dakota and
when she met him again in New York.

Reported Discrepancy In Ac-
counts May be Used as
Pretext.

Chicago. Dec. 22.-Railways and fl
nancial circles are wondering if z. H.
Hartman and his friends in the Chi
cago & Alton, including President s.
NJ. FELTON,, are about to be given by the
Rock Island interests a large dose of
the same medicine Mr.. Hartman re-
Gently administered to Stuyvesant Fish
and his friends in the Illinois Central
officials of both the Alton and the Rock
Island continued yesterday to maintain
the greatest reserve about the report
ed discrepancy of $3.O00,000 in the Al
tons accounts, and their attitude indi-
Gated strongly that serious trouble for
somebody is brewing.
May he Pretext.
''It looks to me- said a railway Off
cial who knows the inside facts re-
garding the relations between the Rock
Island and Alton, "as if the Rock Is
land interests had either seized upon
the first valid cause or were seeking n
preteXt for picking a quarrel with the
Hartman interests and ousting them
from the Alton. In accordance with
the terms of the agreement made two
years ago, the Hartman interests were
in control last year and the Rock Is
land interests are in control this year.
The control will revert to the Harri-
man interests next year unless the
Rock Island people can find cause for
breaking the agreement, and it looks
to me as if this is their real object in
charging and letting the charge become
public that the road was not run on
the square last year"
Make Relations Closer.
That the Rock Island interests will
seek to bring the Alton into closer re-
lations with their other lines, if they
actually have firm control of it, is a
natural inference in view of their past
course.
Though President FELTON, is a close
friend of Mr. Hartman, there is doubt
that he will be retained should the
Rock Island obtain control.

HICKS NOT FREE;

WORK OF HOURS

Bakersfield. Cal, Dec. 22.-The. en-
tombed miner, Hicks, was not releas-

it necessary for the rescuers to pro

more than an inch was gained during

cate timbering was necessary, and this
work in the drift, which is close to
the miner is hard to perform. Hicks
is still in good condition.
