1T Is ROOSEVELT
SAY POSTwASTERS
Mr.. Fisher Remarks on IMAM
unity of View.
REASON AND LOGIC FOR HIM

Roosevelt" was general cry at the
meeting of postmasters of the first
class at Erie, Penn" said Postmaster
F. VI. Fisher, who has returned from
that meeting.
"Of course. everybody recognized
and discussed a number of other
available men in the Republican par
ty for the presidential nomination,
but the coneensus OF opinion was.
that the logical thing is to nominate
Roosevelt. Naturally, in such a gath
ering from all parts of the country,
condolences were exchanged. and each
man expressed himself freely, know
ing that he was not to be quoted and
that everyone present has the right
to revise his views during the next
~ months as conditions warrant.
From the sentiment Of the post
masters. representing all the cities.
scattered from coast TO coast and
from the Canadian line to the gulf. It
seems impossible for Roosevelt to
resist the pressure. am confident he
doesn't desire another term for him
self. but the logic of the situation and
his personal popularity combine to
make Roosevelt the most available
man, according TO the ideas OF men.
who have studied the situation seri-
lously.
"Roosevelt's policies can not be
completely consummated during his
present term and no other one. nat
urally, can be so well fitted as he to
carry them out and guide the ship
of state through the dangerous
places. and,no one could appeal TO
the people and win in a short cam
ipagn the confidence. which he has
established by his policy and prinoi-
pies. The issue of the next cam
paign will be Roosevelt's administra-
ton. No dictum of party platform
will change that. If the Democrats
can succeed In proving the admins
tration a failure. they will win; II
they can't. the Republicans will win
And the postmasters seemed to think
that no one could more ably defend
the administration than Roosevelt,
nor could the party more effectively
lndorse the administration, than by
nominating Roosevelt
'The sentiment was so pronounced
and so general as 20 be remarkable
to every one there"

St. Lawrence.

Quebec, Aug. 3O.-A subsection
of the new bridge across the st. Law
renee river five miles below this city
collapsed carrying scores of bridge
workers and mechanics into the wa
ter. 1t is estimated that the loss OF
life is at least sixty and may exceed
that number by twenty. The bridge
was about a mile and half long ana
half of it from the south shore to
midstream dropped into the water.
Ninety men were at work on this sec
ton of the structure and the whistle
had Just blown for the men to quit
work for the day when grinding
sound came from the middle of the
bridge, and the men turned to see
what had happened. The men made
la rush shoreward but the distance
was too great for them to escape The
falling section dragged others after
lit and the workmen sped for the
shore put only a rev OF them redcheu
il safely before the last part of the
iron was dragged into the river. The
wreckage of the part OF the bridge
near the shore did not go under water
and eight men were released from It,.
The steamer Clermont had just
reached the bridge when the section
fell into the water and she lowered
boats for the rescue OF those who
came TO the top of the water.

No Progress There.
American

When a town does not support
its local daily and weekly papers
properly, you need not look for
any very great PROCESS in that
locality. Local newspapers are the
sign boards that tell the stranger
who the people are and the class
of business in which they are
engaged. Take a business man
who never patronizes his local
newspaper, and you can scrape
enough moss off his back to pad a
sofa. His ideas have more than
enough room in a cup and he can
not keep far enough ahead of a
funeral procession to keep the
corpse from running over him.

the case until yesterday, when the
