the difficulty was to sacrifice the beau
tiful young buck. This fact became
known to John Albrecht, the meat
dealer of northwest Davenport, who at
once saw fine opportunity to furnish
little choice venison to his customers

Roosevelt Asks Bryan to Mdke
Public His Stand on Demo
cratic Anti-lnjuRCtiOn
Plank.

WASHINGTON, ) Oct. 21.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in answer to a recent
letter of Samuel Gompers, president
Of the American Federation of La
Dor, calling upon the laboring men
to support Bryan, has sent an open
letter to Senator p. G. Knox. former
attorney general It reads, in part,
as follows:
Z My Dear Senator Knox In your
admirable speech of yesterday you
spoke of the action of Mr.. Bryan and
certain gentlemen claiming to be
special representatives of organized
labor, foremost among them Mr..
Gompers, to secure the support. of la
boring men for Mr.. Bryan ON consid-
Grafton of his agreeing to perform
certain acts nominally in the inter-
ests of organized labor, which would
be really either wholly ineffective or
else of widespread injury not only to
organized labor, but to all decent
citizens throughout the country. You
have. a peculiar right to speak in the
labor Questions, for 1t was you who
as attorney general first invoked the
great poweR of the federal govern
ment on behalf Of the rights of labor,
when for the first time in the history
OF the government, you, speaking for
the department Of justice, INTERVIEWED
In private law suit which had gone
against locomotive fireman who
had lost an arm in coupling cars, and
by your intervention secured from
the supreme court a construction of
the. safety appliance act which made
1t vital remedial statute, and there
fore has secured to hundreds of
crippled employees and widows Of
crippled employees, compensation
which they would not otherwise have
obtained.
The daily papers Of October Is
contain an open letter from Samuel
Gompers. president Of the American

Federation of Labor. appealing to
workingmen to vote for Mr.. Bryan.
In that letter are certain definite
statements which interest the Ameri-
can public quite as much as those to
whom Mr.. Gompers makes his apr
peal. These statements warrant ali
you have said in your speech and
they would warrant you in asking
Mr.. Bryan to say publicly whether
Mr.. Gompers states correctly the at.
titude of his party and himself on a
subject that is of vital concern to
every citizen, including every busi-
ness man, as well as every farmer
and every laborer who looks ito the
courts for the protection of his
rights
Mr. Gompers announces publicly
that Mr.. Bryan's party has made this
program it's own. Is Mr.. Gompers
correct in this statement?
Either Mr. Gompers is mistaken as
to what Mr.. Bryan's party has prom
ised in the matter of another injunc.
tion legislation or those who drafted
his party platform, in their haste,
failing to make his promise so clear
that the general public would under
stand 1t precisely as Mr.. Gompers
understands it, M
Mr., Bryan failed in his letter of
acceptance to discuss this injunction
plank Of his paftyss platfoFns- So tar
as am aware he has failed to dis
cuss 1t since.
There should be such discussion as
matter of common fairness, not
only to labor, ,abut to all citizens alike.
BOn a. question of such grave sconse;
quences the people are entitled to
know where Mr.. Bryan stands. ~
a Mr. Taft has repeatedly explained
exactly where he stands In this mat
ter OF regulating injunctions.
Are we not entitled to know with
equal clearness exactly where Mrx
Bryan stands? ~ 1ss gsis ssisa asif 7

JESSE HOLMES.
A Lament That He Has Never Had q
S~ucceSsG7.

Men die and others aye found to-
take their places in the race for life
We know of only one instance where
one has departed who has not had q
successor. That man was Jesse
Holmes, the fool-killer. He never
talked; he ascertained beyond any
doubt that a mar was a fool, then
he killed him with a bludgeon he al
way carried never speaking 20 him
or asking any questions. He depart
Cd this life a number of years ago
and to this day no one has been
found to take his place, though such
an one is sadly needed. Had Jesse
been living these automobile gentle
men who are making that "endur-
ance" race from Philadelphia to Sa-
vannah would have been able
to traverse the good state Of North
Carolina; he would have killed every
one of them. One Of the machines
passed here yesterday evening. The
sight of the bunch, mud-bespattered,
bedraggled, looking worse even than
the professional tramp, would have
caused the old man to wade in with
out the least hesitancy. A successor
to Jesse Is sadly needed.-Greens-

Necessity For Nominating a COnser-
VatiVe Democrat.

The decision of the Hearst indie
pendence League to nominate a can
didate for president, and the decla-
ration of Mi. Hearst that neither Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Roosevelt nor Governor
Johnson will be endorsed, will divide
to a certain extent the radical demo-
cratic vote and as Mr.. Bryan can
% expect the votes of those repub~
licans who will oppose the RoCse-
velt-Taft machine, very naturally
those democrats who really wish to
see a democratic victory, are all
looking for a candidate who will
unite the party and whom dissatis-
fed republicans will vote for, to off
set the loss of those former demo-
Gratis who will vote for Mr.. Hearst

The Queen of Nurses.

1t is now less than fifty-four years
since Florence Nightingale began her
work. That is only the span of a not
long lifetime. Yet it measures the
advance Of the world from barbarism
to humanity. The difference between
the hospitals at the beginning Of the
Crimean war and those in the Rus
sian-Japanese war is the difference
between savagery and civilization.
Before Florence Nightingale began
her work at Scutari on the day be-
fore Inkerman women had been en-
pioyed Is nurses in army hospitals,
but they had been dismissed from all
British hospitals because Of their gen.
eral ignorance, drunkenness and i'm.
morality. Men had taken their places
with little gain in intelligence or So
briefly, and the result was that tho
most unfortunate soldiers in the
army were those who, failing to find
a speedy death on the field, were
sent to the hospitals to die Of gan
creme. Nor could there be a more
striking proof of the complaeently
benighted state Of mind with which
these things were regarded than Is
found in the words OF Lady Palm
{! ston, who publicly condoned drunk
enness among nurses and denounced
Florence Nightingale's movement for
reform as a great humbug."-New
