Chandler Puts Questions Direct
to the President.

washington, Aay Io.-oenatoI 4IA'
man today received from Former
Senator Wn. E. Chandler a state
ment of his course as an intermediary
in negotiations between President
Roosevelt and Senators Tillman and
Bailey on the railroad rate bill. The
Communication bears upon Senator
Lodges denial for the president of
Mr.. Chambers statement quoting
the president as saying he bad lost
confidence in Senators Foraker,
Spooner and Kncx. It was offered in
the sena.e by Senator Tillman and
will be printed in The Congressional
Record. MIR. Chandler, in his state
ment of today, res&.ms the essential
portions Of the statement he made to
Senator Tillman. Continuing be says:
"Much as I regret that the hasty
action of Senator Lodge and the
president has forced an issue between
the president and myself, theex'reme
language he used makes such issue
unavoidable and I cannot shrink from
or evade it, although I cannot use to-
ward the chief executive of the nation
language like bis own. Upon our
respective statements I submit the
controversy with confidence to the
Judgment of those who know me.
ssFor those who do not know me
there is fortunately circumstantial
evidence of high order which shows
that the president could not have
omitted to make in substance the
statement which he denies. Nor
could he have then made the whole
statement which he now substitutes.
His impulsiveness has led him into
serious error upon point Of no i'm
portance in itself, but only as affect
ing his attack upon me-"
Mr. Chandler cites circumstances
and communications to show that he
could not possibly have misunder-
stood or misrepresented thepresident
in the matter at issue.
The most interesting feature per-
haps of Mr.. Chandler's letter to Mr..
Tlllman is contained in the closing
paragraph in which he says:
"On the whole perhaps I ought to
consider myself fortunate. If the old
imperialist days had been fully re-
vived at the White House, one whom
I considered the best of friends, Sen
ator Lodge, upon demand, would
have cut eff my head and taken it to
President Roossvelt on a charger,
and I should have spoken no more.
Now at least I have left to me the
power Of speech. But I shall never
use it again as missionary from
President Roosevelt to the Democra-
tic party"

EMBARRASSED
iNSURGENT SPALDING HAS SOME
PERTINENT NUTS TO CRACK
AT NEW ROCKFORD.

New Rockford Transcript: At the
populist meeting last evening in the
court house, crowd of half, or more,
women and children followed the
band, and the services were begun.
Mr.. Spalding's address was largely
the explanation which always goes
with the defeated candidate, treachery
and dishonesty in everybody but him
self. There was no enthusiasm or in
terest until some one in the audience
began to ask questions, when the en-
thusiasm and applause was largely to
the embarrassment of the speaker.
He had no complaint against Cover
nor Sarles or any state officer, and his
sole and single objection seemed to be
that they were picked out by the
wrong crowd. He admits they are all
right, and also admits that the SUI
preme court would not be changed,
even if he had the power to change it
then why all this fuss and dust?
Just because he wants to change the
boss, or wants office and can't get it.
Then he is brought here to help out
the local pop-candidate for. the 1egis-
lature, and those two things seem the
burden Of the song Change the
boss and let me in, but I promise you

An Echo OF DeMores Failure=Chicago Record=Herald

The Chicago Record-Herald tells
the following story, and while, as a
fact Roosevelt never invested dollar
in the De Mores venture, the narritive
makes good reading: Through the
financial Offices in LaSalle street, in
the marts of trade, in clubs where
business men gather, and even out in
the yards, a story has persistently
circulated in the last few days to the
effect that President Roosevelt aveng-
ed long-standing grievance when he
delivered his broadside against the
packers. Smarting under the loss of
$4,000 which he invested in the De
Mores packing plant, which could not
stand the competition of the Chicago
firms, the president, so the story runs,
nursed his grievance for twenty-three
years before an opportunity came to
retaliate. .s ~.
Though the actual facts fail to sus-
tain this tale Of personal animus, they
make an interesting story of Theodore
Roosevelt's early attempts at ranch

John Bartel Of Dickey county, was
shot and instantly killed by his STEP
son in quarrel in which Bartel is
said to have abused his wife. The
stepson who is about 10 years of age,
left home a short time ago after a
quarrel with Bartel. Recently he re-
turned home and persuaded his moth
er to leave with him.. The couple
went back home in a day or two and
as soon as they entered the house the
quarrel was renewed. Bartel grew
furiously angry and abused his wife.
His sterson ordered him to stop or he
would shoot him and when BaHel fail
ed to heed the warning he carried out
his threat. The bullet took effect in
BartePs forehead, and death was in

to escape and is now In the hands Of

Il My childhood home was on Wis
consin prairie twelve miles from a
town the roads were rarely good, de-

In the price OF produce when the roads
were absolutely impossible.
And before they could be safely
used to transport the crops to market
the price was certain to fall.
Perhaps 1t Is because Of my early
recollections Of bad roads and all the
discomfort and loneliness they caused
that good road seems to me a thing

a closely shaver lawn, neatly kept,
and a hard, smooth road, always stir

Plea for Good Road ConstrctonBy Ella Wheeler Wilcox

grown and neglected, to typify forever
in my mind, heart hunger and desola-
ton. -$l-
Roads and Progress.
Just so the country road, with it's
humps and hollow and mud and dust,
typifies poverty and misfortune and
dissatisfaction and lack of progress.
It means isolation from companion
ship and distance from market, and
waiting for letters, and discomfort in
locomotion for man and beast.
And in contrast the clipped lawn
and the good road mean time for
pleasure and leisure, hours of recrea-
ton and the enjoyment Of life; music
and laughter: communication with
friends; the ability to go and come
without exhausting all time and vi
tality comfort for animal and man, and
benefit TO individual and community
Yes, indeed. Miss Columbia, and
Uncle Sam, give us good roads.
Give us money to build them and
