Hitchcock VIII Not ReIinquish
Position
CHICAGO RUMORS DENIED

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Stories to the ef-
feet that there has been a change or is
to be a change made in the manage
ment OF the republican national cam
paign, appear to be without the slight
est foundation.
The Associated Press has caused in
quiries to be made in every place that
could be expected to supply reliable
information on the subject and It lis
declared that the campaign is being
conducted along lines originally plan
ned and that the programme will con-
tinue without alteration.
How Story Originated.
Apparently the story that there is
to be change in the management Of
the campaign and that Chairman
Hitchcock is to be subordinated in
authority, although remaining nomin-
ally at the head of the committee, or
igtnated from the announcement that
Senator Crane would visit the western
headquarters in this city and the fact
that he had been in conference with
Taft in Cincinnati.
The truth Of the case Is that Sena-
tor Crane arrived in Chicago today.
because he was requested by Hitch
cock to meet him here at this time.
The real purpose OF the senator's Wis
1t Is the financial end Of the cam
paign work.

Rhinelander, Wis, Sept 21.-Gagen
and woodboro were destroyed by for
est fires yesterday. The fire started
in the woods Sunday morning and
quickly reached Gagen and Woodboro.
Men, women and children fought val
iantly to save their homes but without
avail.
Gagen and Woodboro each had about
1000 residents and nearly all are
homeless.
Flee From Seethins Furnace.
Burned out of their homes, people
began fleeing from the fire. which grew
more dangerous with every minute.
Women carrying children in their arms
and men and boys with packs on their
backs ran toward Rhinelander, many
falling prostrated in the heat only to
be helped on by stronger refugees.
Nearly all of those burned out at
Gagen reached Rhinelander last night
and are cared for But few of the
Woodboro people are here and it is
not known what has become of all of
them
The fire Is a fresh one and not a
continuation Of the fires which did so
much damage last week.
Nothing Left Of Gasen.
When the blaze started the wind
was from the west and 1t was feared
Rhinelander with its homes for 1000
people was doomed also, but change
in the direction of the wind probably
has saved the city.
The towns of Gagen and Woodboro
are on the 500 railroad. Reports
from the refugees who came to this
city, say nothing Is left of Gagen.

FRIDAY. MAY /, 1908.
An Evening Echo.
We received. freely give
/, x, s.
state Aid fnr Rnnlls.

The fact is that the great social
and economic benefits of good roads
are not fully understood; that the
advantages and economies possible
under the improved condition far
outweigh the burden OF the tax meas
ured In dollars and cents alone, says
Gross, in the Saturday Evening Post.
Some fifteen years ago 1t was dis
covered In New Jersey that the high
ways did not belong to the farmer,
hut we're as much public property as
the State House; that every resident
of the State, through the markets,
was affected for veal or woe by road
conditions; and that the State, from
the public treasury, ought to. pay a
part of the cost OF road-buildlng,
This was the birth of State aid in
America.
The good work spread rapidly
throughout the East, State after
State falling into line. until State aid
obtains in fourteen States-Pennsyl-
yania, New York, New Jersey, Della
ware. Maryland, Massachusetts, Vir-
ginla, Rhode sland. Connecticut, YER
mont, New Hampshire, Maine, Ohio
and Michigan-all, save two, east of
the Alleghanles In the West, Mich
igan hsa a unique law whereby the
State pays a certain bounty for every
mile of good roads built ranging from
two hundred and fifty dollars to one
thousand dollars per mile, according
to the class Of the Improvement, ir-
respective of the cost of 1t.
New Jersey began State aid with
an appropriation OF fifty thousand
dollars. This soon grew into two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
per year. Pennsylvania began with
one hundred an fifty tEousan dollars,
and in a few years was expanding
over q million a year. New York
fifty thousand dollars has in few
years grown into a Constitutional
amendment providing for a bond is
sue of fifty million dollars, available
at the rate of five million dollars a
year. The farmers, who at the first
opposed the plan, now stand, like
Oliver Twist, pleading for more"
One Of the best features of State
aid is that the improvements must
be made under expert supervision.
This lnsures good results. The at
tempt to build roads without such
supervision is a waste OF money. No
farmer would undertake to build a
house or a barn without experienced
mechanics, yet he often thinks he can
build roads when he cannot.

President Roosevelt's several mes

principally on vital legislation for the
welfare of the nation and its people.
The reforms he insists on are in the
interest OF the people.
The people themselves all like his
policies and demand the passage of
most. all the measures he proposes.
They See in them great good and are
as eager as the President himself
that they should be put into opera
tion.
However, there is a growing i'm
preston that Congress itself does not
sympathize with these measures nor
does 1t show a willing disposition to
cooperate with the President in these
reforms. Indeed, at this distance it
looks as If Congress does not know

New Workers. Clever Definition
of Cooper, Who Has Taken /
Gotham by Storm. !

NEW YORK. April s0.-The as
tonlshing sale OF cooper's prepara-
lions in this city has, now reached
such immense figures ti1atst medical
fraternity at large have become fore
ed into open discussion OF the man
and his preparations
The physicians as a whole seem to
be divided with regard to the young
mans success in New York, some be-
Ing willing to credit him for what he
has accomplished, while others assert
that the interest he has aroused Is
but a passing fad which cannot last,
and which win die out as quickly as II
has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions
Is very well voiced in the statements
made recently by two OF a number Of
physicians who were intervied on the
subject
One Of New York's most prominent
physicians, when questioned about the
matter, said: 81 have not been a
believe in proprietary medicines here
tofore, nor can I say that / believe
NIT that some OF the facts recently
brought to my notice concerning this
man Cooper have gone far toward re-
moving the prejudice had formed
against him when the unheard Of de-
mand for the preparations first sprang
up in this city.
Numbers of my patients whom /
have treated for chronic liver, kidney
and stomach troubles, have met me
after taking Cooper's remedies, and
have stated positively that he has ac-
complished wonderful results for
them. notice particularly in cases
of stomach trouble that the man has
relieved several cases that were of
years standing and proved very OBJ
stinate in treatment.
II am the last man on earth to
stand in the way of anything that
through professional prejudice, and
am inclined to give Cooper and his
preparations credit as deserving to
some extent the popular demonstra-
tion that has been accorded them IN
this city"
Another well known physician who
was seen took the opposite view of
the "Coopermanla," as he called it,
which now has the city in its grip.
He said: 81 can only lIken the pres
ent state OF affairs to a certain kind
of halucination. For want of better
name might call It 'Cooper-manIa.'
The people of New York seem to be
firm in the belief that this man Coop
er has health corked up in a bottle.
Some Of them imagine that he has
cured them Of various Ills,
judging from their statements. 1t Is
beyond me to say why the city has
gone crazy over the man. 1t may be
safely put down I think, to one Of
the passing fads that so often attack
the American public"
In the mean time Cooper meets
several thousand people daily, and
only smiles when statements of the
above kind are quoted to him. His
work still continues to be
very extensive.
