BRYAN DENouNCES PRESIDENT.
Charges Roosevelt With Using Federal
 Office Holders as a Party Asset.

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 26.-Ad- dressing two monster gatherings here Friday. William J Bryan, reiterated his charge that President Roosevelt was not giving him a square deal but that the president was using federal office holders as a Republican asset. His principal remarks were made at the baseball park, where he denounced the Republicans for their policies and pleaded with his audience 10 stand together and elect the state and na- tional Democratic tickets. The second address was made from the courthouse steps MT Bryan in the course of his remarks on the labor question, the trusts. the tariff and publicity of cam paien contributions, injected new feature. He conducted an imaginary cross examination of MT Taft on the issues of the campaign in which he placed Mr. Taft in the attitude ot finally admitting after a good deal of pressure. that the Republican platform was all wrong, and unsatisfactory to him, and that the Democratic platform was right. The novelty of this method of argument created no little amuse. ment among the crowd.

 Terrible Scene Ensues.
 The scene ensuing is described as met the rescuers at every turn and although heroic efforts were made by the survivors 10 rescue those caught ia the wr2ckage, several of the victims are supposed to be buried underneath thc dcbl is
 A heavy wet snow which was falling at the time prevented the wreck from catching fire, and undoubtedly held the death list down 10 the figures given.

Little can be done toward the rescuing of the buried victims until the wrecking trains arrive,
 None of the passengers in sleepers were injured. The train was made up of an engine, baggage car, smoker and two Pullmans.

Does Publicity Increase Crime 2

Paris has taken a new twist. For long time it has been urged that the excessive amount of publicity which has been given to the crimes of the Paris Apaches has been responsible for great proportion of the violence which has prevailed in the capital in recent years. NJ. Briand. minister of justice, has just issued an order pro- hibiting the police under penalty of se- we're punishment from supplying pho- tographs of noted criminals to the press. Nor will NJ. Bertllon of the an thropometric department be allowed to give photographs, neither will the newspaper reporters be permitted 10 photograph the bodies of murdered persons or the rooms in which crimes have been committed A former chief of the detective department smiles, and predicts that the new order will not last three months. for there are times when the police find it extreme ly difficult to dispense with the aid of the press But one thing is certain, the class known as Apaches has the upper hand in Paris. They are outlaws who play to the gallery, and are as full of vanity and couceit as of brutality. The Apache adores the center of the stage. and will commit any crime to figure as a hero 10 his kind

 The Prairie Oil and Gas Company charges, Governor Haskell declared to be a joke on Roosevelrs stupidity" asserting that he had done nothing which would confer upon the Stand ard oil subsidiary company more authority than it already possesses under franchise granted it by See. retary Hitchcock

Yacht Races and Wireless.

The next cup race will witness an interesting battle in the air-a con- fiict between the wireless telegraph systems for supremacy. The New York Herald's tug. fitted with a wire less apparatus, demonstrated during the recent cruise of the New York Yacht club that a most effective serv- ice can be rendered in that manner. But what will happen if the three big news agencies, the Associated Press, Hearst service and United Press. and a score of tugs fitted out by the wealthiest papers, begin sending hiss Ing hot messages through the air at About the same time? Will there be any profanity at the receiving points? What will be the nature of the news they will receive? Fairly successful efforts in the wireless direction have yacht races, but great improvements have been made since Reliance de feated Shamrock III in 1903 improve ments apparently in all hut one re- spect-the clash of rival messages in the air. Perhaps, suggests the Fourth Estate, the best way out of the seem ing difficulty would be some fair com promise arrangement by which one or ganiZation shall cover the contest for all concerned, handing over the mes. sages as received al the New York of flee.

BITTERLY ASSAILS PRESIDENT
Good Name Comes First, He Says Regrets if Any Injury to Party Results From
 Controversy.

Cincinnati Ohio. Sept 26.-Senator Foraker made public a statement Fri day night, replying to the recent charges made by William R. Hearst and President Roosevelt. He bitterly assals Hearst, Mr Taft and the prcsi- dent charging Mir, Taft with consort- ing with Standard Oil magnates him. self and declaring that President Rooscyelts actions indicate a guilty conscience.
 After the opening paragraph Mr. Foraker declares that the president showed bias in accepting as true all the charges. He denies that he acted improperly in accepting employment from the Standard Oll Company, says that there was no secret about it, and produces letters to prove that after the government began it's attack upon the Standard Oil he declined to accept a retainer from them. He intimated Mr Hearst had other letters i'll addi tion 10 those he gave out, and these other letters would have showed how harmless was his connection with the Standard Oil

Senator Foraker concludes his state ment as follows:
 "If, in making this defense. I have said anything that will work the slightest injury to the Republican party shall regret it. but I shall al ways feel that those who have no con sideration for me, my family or good name, but would gloatingly rejoice if they could accomplish the shame and humiliation they have attempted, are not entitled to any consideration at my hands, and that my duty to the party should be subordinated to duty te family and the good name l have striven 10 make. that l may leave il to them as their heritage, more priceless in their estimation than anything else within my power to give them

The RebelliOns OF Fiction.
washington Post,

Were a man of peace rara avis!
suddenly to come into these temp
estuous domains of confusion and
politics, he would think the whole
world seething with rebellion. The
shah is butchering his subjects and
there are uprisings in Tabriz. India
means and gurgles her discontent.
Honduras is swollen with her rebels
yells; Colombia is chasing hers into
the swamps around Baranquilla and
down in Paraguay the bombs are
bursting in the streets. Mexico is
running bandits, who call themsel-
yes revolutionists, into the chapar-
raj, and now comes news that Ariz-
ona is about to furnish her decennial
uprising. The Nayajos have gone on
the Warpath, the soldiers have start
ed after them with machine guns,
and the settlers have fed to the wa
ter courses where the cottonwoods
grow. The whole earth seems in tur-
moil and confusion and sweat
1t is mostly seeming. How potent
is the fancy of mani Give him a
pencil and pad of paper and an
airy bit of fancy, not too nice in its
particularly, as to details, and he
can turn out yarn more bloody than
the Wars of the Roses. How much of
all these rebellions and revolutions
exists on paper only will never be
known to the civilized world which
swallows the stories so readily, as
spicy mOrsels of that craved ele-
ment in modern life, something do
ing"
The report is that the Nayajos are
up and taking a murderous trail.
No details have been received The
Indian bureau knows nothing of it.
But the Navaios are up, and every
body holds his breath and believes
it and recalls delightedIy tales of
old Geronimo and the Apache Kid.
And meanwhile some fellow out of
a job and tired of the weight of
time on his hands is probably sitting
around somewhere on the borders
of the Southwest awaiting the returns
from his fake"
1t is time for somebody to tell the
truth. There are Indians whose re-
putations for ferocity are manufac-
tured by down-at-the-heel scampS. 1t
would be very surprising indeed, if
the Navajos had taken to the war
trail. One might as reasonably ex-
pect it of the Yumas, or the Goa
hullias, or the Mission Indians of
California whose sole ambition is to
sell cheap pottery and beadwork to
the tourists. Old Geronimo and the
Apache Kid are dead-not in the
body, but in spirit. They are good
Indians So are their Navajo bro
theirs, who tend their fiocks and work
the shovel and the hoe Like the
muchly celebrated Yaquis of Mexico,
they are as harmless as the lizards
summing themselves on the desert
hands. AS for the Yaqui, his case is
too sad to reflect upon He is the
victim of fiction, the byword of a
perverted instinct, the chopping block
of an imagination which took an ar
tistic delight in it's work because the
victim couldn't chop back.

Good Roads and Fee System
Macon News.)

The News does not desire to be
importunate in this matter of the
good roads and the fee system, but
just the same is so interested in the
project that from time it is going to
have a little to say on the subject so
that those who are interested won't
forget about it.
The new good roads movement in
this country starts out under better
conditions than any other similar
movement in a good time. 1t has a
membership already of a number of
sound, hard-headed business men,
who, understand and appreciate the
benefits that will be derived from
improvements in the system of
throughfares throughout Bibb coun-
ty. These men will now try and
will too extend the membership of
the movement into the rural districts
where there is equally as much in
terest as there is in the city The
good roads proposition is one in
which all classes and conditions of
people are interested, and to which
the support of all of them should be
secured. To be a success, a thor
ough one, there must be unanimity in
the matter. All hands must put a
shoulder to the wheel and the push
must be great one all in unison.
Then again the establishment of a
salary system instead Of the fee
system must be carried right along
with the good roads movement, be-
cause it is through this latter change
that the necessary funds can be Sc
cured to carry along the betterment
of the roads. Just now the fee Sys-
tenn destroys so much of the public
funds that public Improvements are
cramped and curtailed. The News
does not blame the fee officials from
taking all the law gives them, but it
is the system that is wrong and
should be abolished. When sys-
TEN becomes a very heavy burden,
be abolished. The fee system is
burden, because the people have to be
taxed more than they would other
wise to maintain it. The more money
that is poured into the fee system
the more has to be raised in taxes to
meet the other requirements made
on the county treasury.
The fee system with its extrava-
gance and luxuries is a distinct and
strong obstacle to the betterment of
the roads. 1t eats up thousands of
dollars a year that should go to
road improvements.
1t also causes cramped schools
and curtails other improvements
needed in the county.
1t should be abolished

A BIG STANDING ARMY.

Criticisms of the Dick bill is in
dulged in by the Augusta Herald,
largely on the ground of the useless
ness of a standing army of 100000
men, which is the end sought by the
promoters of the bill. 1t cannot be
denied that the Dick bill has made en-
listment in the state militia less
tempting The patriotism which led
the great bulk of the state troops to
enlist in the Spanish-American war,
has been supplanted by the law.
The Herald says:
1t is pointed out that President
Roosevelt will bequeath to his sue
cessor a military organization that
should relieve the fears of those ex-
perts who have shown how easy it
would be for a German army to over
run New York from Rockaway Beach
and a Japanese horde to spring on
San Francisco from Monterey Bay.
According to a statement by General
Oliver, assistant secretary of war, the
plans have been perfected for what
will be in effect an army of quarter
of million men, ready for service at
a days notice. In theory we have
already had such an army the regu-
lar forces forming its nucleus and the
National Guards of the state its re-
serves. In practice, however the Ma
tional Guards have not been avail
able for immediate service in war
They have been organized in small
units-regiments, battalions, squad
rons and even separate companies
