lead Of %. NJ. Parry Of Indianapolis,
have been waging war against organ
lied labor. i
It Is not representative In any im-
portant sense of the protected Indus
tries OF the country, and therefore Is
{ not nearly as big a concern as its name
would seem to imply.
Last winter what is practically the
same company held meeting In
4 washington and was addressed by
y Secretary; Root. At that time 1t de-
clared in favor Of the maximum and
minimum tariff. Albert F. Wakeman,
editor Of the American Economist, the
OFFICIAL organ Of the protected interests,
was here at that time fighting against
the maximum and minimum declar-
alton. There is no disposition here to
attach any political Significance to
Thursdays declaration. Is #
Indiana, Alabama and Idaho do not
i intend to take a back seat for New
England when it conleS to compare
|. son Of the beauties and courage OF
their women. Several weeks ago a
story was published showing the re-
markable service that Miss Ella Nell
son, rural carrier in one OF the New
England states, performed in working
n her way thru a blizzard to deliver the
mail Since then Assistant. Postmas-
ter General DeGraw has received
numerous letters, newspaper clippings
and photographs from places which
claim distinction in the possession. of
rural carriers of the fair sex. indiana
has two candidates for honors in
Misses Nellie and, Effie Stevens, who
y are sisters, and Of whom 1t is said
that no sort of weather conditions or
bad roads can daunt. On one occasion
the girls Travelled twenty ave miles on
foot to deliver the mail along their
route5 tramping continuously from
O'clock Ia the morning until 8 at night.
Another incident OF bravery brought
to the attention Of the department is
that Of Miss Ella Bolton, a rural car
rier Of Mobile. While delivering mail
on her route she was overtaken by a
severe storm and in attempting to
ford swollen stream, was thrown,
with her horse and vehicle into the
water. She succeeded not only in
r saving herself, and the horse and
cart, but plunged into the swift run-
ming river and rescued the bag of
gmail, the contents Of which she pro-
ceeded TO deliver.
..Tama Jim" Wilson. secretary OF
agriculture. believes that some member
OF the cabinet should write the life Of
Theodore Roosevelt in order that the
future generations Of Americans, may
have a truthful insight into the re-
narkable character and achievements
OF the president. Mr.. Wilson believes
that this task should be undertaken by
some member Of the presidents official
family who has been with him thru his
entire administration, for he contends
that no other person really is qualified
to put IN cold print tl1es real story Of
the presidents life. AS he and Secre-
xary Cortelyou are the only cabinet
OFFICERS whose service spans this long
term, It will probably be he who will
act as Mr. Roosevelt,s biographer.
Secretary Cortelypuf does not WELD
very facile pen, while Mr.. Wilson
before taking the portfolio he now
holds, won considerable reputation IN
Iowa. as an editor and writes with
much directness and style. In addi-
fion. he has actually been longer In the
cabinet than any other one Of its mem-
hers. MI. Cortelyou having been spri-
vate secretary when first thrown into
intimate association with Mr.. Roose-
welt. 1t y known that two or three
big publishing houses already have
asked Secretary Wilson to write the
work and 1t would not be at all sur
prising il he did so.
The forthcoming raid into the south
Nv Governor Johnson. OF Minnesota,
has aroused much interest ins political
circles here. Governor Johnson has
accepted an invitation to visit Vicks-
hnrs at an early date and deliver an
address at the unwilling Of monu-
nnent to the Minnesota soldiers who
fell on the battle field there. 1t is un-
derstood that he will extend his visit
several days and probably VIII make !.
speeches at other points in the south.
JAS he is the only democrat ever eject
ed governor of Minnesota ana as ne
has very healthy boom for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1908, q well de-
fined plan to capture the southern vote
IS seen in Governor Johnson's visit
Anyway, the friends OF Governor Hoke
Smith of Georgia !. and Of William
Jennings Bryan Of Nebraska are de-
cidedly on the anxious seat.
