ROOSEVELT LETTER
FIRST EVIDENCE
Change From Apparent Friendship
to Bitter Atogonism, Says
GOmpers of President
By Associated Press

Washington. D. c.. Got 26.-In reply to
Roosevelts letter to Senator Knox in refer
ence to the application of the writ of in
junction in labor disputes, Samuel Com
pers. in a statement issued today severely
arraigns the President for what he terms
"a change of position of, at least apparent.
friendship, to one of bitter and indefensi-
Bile antagonism." 1T has been my
pleasure" Gompers says ito have often
had the privilege of discussing with Presi-
dent, Roosevelt number Of fundamental
questions of right, justice and the moral
and social uplift of the laboring classes.
Included in these discussions were the in
vasions of personal rights and human
liberty by the courts in injunction abuses
1t is true the president has not always
fully agreed with my contention, but he
never, until the publication Of his latest
utterance hinted. much less charged, that
any thing we advocated was lawless, un-
feeling, despotic, brutal or wicked.

VERDIGRIS RIVER
CAUSES TROUBLE
Frisco Tracks Washed out--AlI
Trains Detoured by Way of
Muskogee and Okmulgee

All trains over the Frisco from the west
were detoured by way Of Okmulgee and
Muskogee and the Katy to Vinita yester-
day on account Of the high water Of the
Verdigris river near Catoosa. Passenger
train No 40S due here at 6;2S Saturday
evening was the last train that crossed
the Frisco bridge across the Verdigris..
Yesterday Il was reported that the water
was four feet over the bridge, and the
river was five miles wide, The bridge
has stood the tide Of the food, and it Is
believed that by tonight that the waters
win have receded enough to permit the
resumption OF traffic over this line.
A surprise met the people Of Vinita
yesterday morning when the Frisco yards
was found filled with passenger trains
All west bound trains we're held here
until about 1880 O'Clock and sent over
the Katy to Muskogee and thence TO Ok
mulgee and Sapulpa. Today the east
bound trains were sent from Muskoeee
to Claremore via Of the Iron Mountain
and then over the Frisco tracks east The
crest Of the food is believed TO be past
and little more damage is feared
The extend Of damage done to the
tracks at the verdieris river is not known
but local railroad men think that trains
will be on schedule time again BY tomor-

RumbIings of Landslide AIreaey Heard in the
East --Euery Doubtful State Given to Nebras-
kan BY M0ck's Estimate e--Says New York
is No Longer Enemies Country, But
Is Assured for Bryan.

THE result is no longer a doubt in New
York. The votes of the state are assured
for Bryan. He will win by substantial
plurality The Empire state can no long
er be included in the territory called the
enemies country speak from informa-
tion gained from a through canvass and
reports from every country in the state.
In Ohio and Indiana every element is
working for our success, and despite the
great republican majorities of previons
years. am confident that both states will
be in the democratic column. They are
for Bryan today and there is no reason
for believing that next week win witness
change of sentiment, Eighty per cent
of the labor vote in both states and fully
as large per cent of the German popu-
lation are for Bryan"
Mack also said that he understood the
republican organization had accumulated
three million dollars which should be
used in several of the debatable states
But. said he, they can not defeat us
with $50. 100000"
Mack said: THE action of President
Roosevelt in sending out his entire cabi-
net on the stump shows that the presi-
dent is frightened to death. II they dom
put ropes on the president or nail him
down he win be out on the stump, too. Il
Roosevelt goes on the stump the people

Mack's forecast of election follows:
.Rumbiings and thunder of the Bryan
landslide in the west are already heard
in eastern states and today can conf
IDENTIFY predict the election of Bryan, and
the landslide in the west will extend to
the shores of the Atlantic II means that
the democratic national ticket will carry
every doubtful state in this section, and
in the rock-ribbed republican districts the
majorities of that party in recent years
win be reduced to a minimum.
"Basing my forecast on the most con-
servative lines, in view Of the optimistic
reports have received from all sections
Of the country. figure that Bryan will

more than is necessary for choice.
In addition to the 1865 votes of the

All over the country there is a change Of
rs to 50 per cent from the Roosevelt vote

supremacy over the somewhat adverse
conditions a dry region presents to the
agriculturist. Most OF them have suf-
ficient means TO Withstand some bad
luck and all are entering into the
spirit of the thing with a determine
ton to make their new homes happy
and profitable. A large area Is in
crops this year and steam plows are
turning over the sod at a tremendous
rate.
Last winter was the driest in the
history of the Cheyenne weather bu-
reau, but May has been good to the
farmer, giving not only its usual
amount of moisture. but enough more
to make up for all the deficiency since
January LIST. The moisture during the
month came in such a manner, too, as
to do the most good. Soft SHOWS and
drizzling rains fell at such intervals
and SO gradually that very little ran
off into the streams.
The Republican hopes that the new
settlers will meet with success In their
Wyoming homes and that their exam
pie will result in the settlement of all
that great area of land lying to the
north and west Of their present hold
ings as far as the. Platte and the Lar
annie rivers. Who knows but that new
methods of farming and new expert
ments in dry land crops will make 1t
possible to cultivate without irriga
ton even the high lands OF the Lara

NEW SETTLERS OPTIMISTIC.

Recently the writer has made nu-
merous inquiries Of new settlers in the
dry farming district to the east of
Cheyenne as to how their crops were
looking and what their prospects were.
With one accord the replies have been
optimistic. Every settler says that
crops are doing %splendidly and that
there is nc reason to believe but that
they will make a success of their new
ventures They are even inclined to
berate old-timers for their pessimism,

A PRESS COMMENT.
A Test In Oklahoma

A Test In Oklahoma
From all standpoints the first test
OF the Oklahoma bank deposit insur-
ance law seems to prove its merit.
One examiner finds a bank playing
fast and loose with the banking law.
He closes its doors. Under the old
system depositors would receive a
dividend of 40 per cent in about three
months, that being the cash re-
sources of the bank when closed. Lat
er they would get such part of the
balance less receivers expenses as
might be collected in the next half
dozen years. Under the new system
the guaranty fund created oy a tax on
all the banks was drawn upon to pay
the depositors Immediately in full, and
the receivership will be conducted in
behalf Of this fund and of the stock
holders of the bank.
No doubt the deposits of this bank
will go promptly into other banks in
stead Of stockings. Moreover the slim
ulated distrust of all banks which
would have caused withdrawal Of de,
posits throughout the state cannot re-
banks are likely to lose less under the
new plan even though the $4,000
drawn from the guaranty fund be all
lost, which Is unlikely. Yet, since
they might IS well I'VE also the $22,-
900, we can imagine the Oklahoma
bankers, aroused by this incident, u.s.
ing their great influence to keep the
examiners active and earnest that
sudh abuses by other banks may be
nipped in the bud. Under the old sys-
ten the bankers had little interest in
promoting the efficiency Of bank ex-
amlners.lsheridan Enterprise.
Pull Backs and Push Aheads@
In every community there are al
ways two %contending elements-one
pulling back and the other pushing
ahead. The city or town in which the
push-aheads are in the majority is al
ways a thriving, progressive, wide
awake place. constantly at the head Of
the procession. The city or town in
which the pull-backs have control is
usually afraid TO take. up any new en-
.erprise, however promising; it never
starts until its rival has gotten a good
lead, and it is always to be found
among the stragglers on the highway
to Observation-Disclosures Monitor.
How to XIII a Town
One of the best possible ways of
damning Saratoga and running the
tourist and excursion business is for
our hotels and restaurants to charge
exhorbitant rates for meals and beds
in return for poor accommodation.
Let the people of Saratoga, who feed
and lodge people, look well TO this
matter. If PEOPLE are not well treat
ed when they come here they will
spread the fact far and wide and away
goes any more trade from that source.
Let them get good meals and beds at
reasonable rates and they will come
in crowds. There is nothing will damn
a town so quick as for the hotel and
restaurant people to get gay and IN
dertake to palm of poor meals and
poor beds for first class prices. Bet
ter see to it that this Is never done
or trade will shun you like the plague.
