 The Aoommission owes it's existence to the action of President Roosevelt who In the matter of conservation Is at once with Bryan and the leaders of the demo- cratic party as well as his own When Congress meets it is probable that the commission will be perpetuated by legis- latlve action. Some slight opposition is expected on the part of congressman and senators representing private interests rather than the people as a whole, but public sentiment is already so strongly aroused on this question that it is not thought that these senators and congress- men will dare jeopardize their positions by making a serious fight.

SERIOUS FIGHT IN
 SOFT DRINK STAND
GEORGE CARTER LIES AT POINT OF DEATH AND HILL WELLS IS IN JAlL-ANOTHER ALLEGED  PARTICIPANT ESCAPES.

Huntsville, October u.-(Special.)- George Carter. who operates a renovating establishment on Holmes street, lies at the point of death at the city hospital with two deep cuts in his chest Hill Wells, a well-known horseman of Lincoln eoun- ty, Tennessee, is in jail. and J. NJ. Braly. soft drink stand man of this city, has disappeared as the result of an affray that occurred over a game of cards in Car ter's place late last night. Carter is desperately wounded and is not expected to live.
 No details of the affair can be obtained. Carter claims that Wells and Braly both cut him. Wells asserts that Braly did 1t. and the latter cannot be found to give his version of the affair. A game of poker was in progress. Carter was drinking and quarrelsome, and when a dispute over the game arose the cutting was done. The crowd scattered at once, and only the in- jured man was left in the place when the police arrived, Wells was found by the police later and lodged in jail to be held until Carter dies or gets well.

MONEY COMING IN.
Treasurer Sheldon Reports Interest n
 Republican Fund.

Washington, October 1.-The President yesterday held a brief political conference with Pearl Wight, republican national committeeman from Louisiana, and Elmer Dover, secretary of the national advisory committee. Both brought encouraging re- ports regarding the republican situation.
 According to Mir. Dover, the campaign contributions are coming in as favorSoly as can be expected Eliminating the con- tributions now excluded by law, the con- tributions which thus far have been re- ceived are equal, he said, if not in excess of those received in previous years up to this stage of the campaign. He an nounced that from 75i to S5 per cent. of all the contributions received by the na- tional committee came from New York, Chicago Philadelphia, Boston and Balti- more. The letter which had been sent out by Treasurer Sheldon asking for $50 contributions has brought 100 replies in 4S hours.

The above does not include the impor- tant item of 7S,S1O fishermen who have a vital interest in the rapidly decreasing ! supply of many kinds of salt and fresh water fish, owing to wholesale and waste full methods of fishing, and the item of 2S9. .Ss7 printers publishers, paper mill op- eratiyes and others who are directly af- fected by the growing scarcity of wood pulp and consequent increasing cost of many grades of paper
 The list omits also 25SS, ,2S3 laborers and the millions of wage-earners in other trades and professions who are all alike affected by the higher prices for coal, lumber and manufactured products, due to wasteful exploitation of the natural resources of the land.
 Because of this universal interest, which is not a matter of sentiment but of dol lars and cents, the question of conserva- ton is becoming a leading issue in the present political campaign, although it is not a partisan issue. Prominent national organizations and associations throughout the country have begun to place them selves or record as demanding legislation at the coming session of Congress that will put a check upon some of the waste that Is now going on. Many congressman and congressional candidates have de- clared themselves in favor of such legis- lation, especially as regards the Appa- lachian bill and the repeal of the stone and timber act.
 Especial interest is shown in the report of the newly appointed conservation com mission which will be submitted to the President next January. The commission. which constitutes the most important body of public men, experts and eovern- ment officials which has ever been got to- sether. has undertaken an exhaustive in- vestigation into the present state of our resources, the rate at which they are being used and the probable length of time that they will last
 As a result of this investigation. Uncle Sam will, for the first time, know just

paign work. This debauchery of the civil service has never before been at i tempted in a political campaign, and shows the extent to which the mana gers of MT. Taft's campaign will go.
 In his Kalamazoo speech MT. Kern, in emphasizing this point, said:
 Never before have federal office holders gone forth so inspired of ? common purpose to carry out the word of their chief, and so intense became their enthusiasm and zeal that in many instances they effectively yielded sticks of varying sizes and in the name of civil service reform, cracked the heads of their opponents who ventured to dispute their right to rule. Having dictated .he nomination of his success sor the President now undertakes to enforce his choice upon the people by a course which is of utter variance with all precedent and not tolerable in d free government"
 Some days ago press reports from South Dakota quoted w. T. La Toilette, a brother of Senator La Toilette, as saying that the senator was at heart for Bryan and should really be a dem ocrat. In connection with this matter further press reports quote MT. La
 
 T made no such statement in Wis consin or elsewhere. I have been cam paigning in South Dakota, and have re- ferred to the La Toilette blanks re- jected by the Chicago republican con- vention, which were recommended by President Roosevelt in his special mes sage last February. I have said these blanks can be found in the democratic platform, and most of them have been advocated by MT. Bryan for dozen years, while MT. Roosevelt was talking protective tariff and expansion. I have not been in Wisconsin since July 26, and certainly did not meet Charles Bryan there at that time or last week.
 When Senator W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts was placed in charge of the practical end of the republican na = tional campaign, he hastened to Cin- cinnati to confer with Judge Taft and also Brother Charlie" who is said to have put up $750,000 of his own finances to finance the nomination of the republican candidate for the presi dency. Now the story Is that Senator Crane was much more anxious to see Brother Charlie than Judge Taft, and that his visit related to the financial needs of the campaign.
 Brother Charlie has been informed that he will have to contribute much more literally than he did to secure for him the republican nomination.

A CORRECTION.

The resolutions adopted by the
Henderson county democratic
convention last week endorsing
the candidacy of Mr.. NIL. Ship
man for commissioner of Labor
and Printing stated that Mr.. Ship
man was chairman of Mr.. Craw-
ford's committee two years ago,
when, as a matter of fact, Hon.
w. T. Lee, of Waynesville, is the
man who filled that position so
admirably. MI. Shipman was
chairman of the congressional
committee during the campaign
of 1904 when MI. Gudger's ma
iority in the district, was increas-
ed from 1873 to 1888.
1t is well ito give credit to
whoever credit is due" andI am
glad to make this correction Of a
mistake, which was purely an in
advertence. Very Respectfully,
|C.E. BROOKS.
