Sheriff Brinsfield proceeded to the camp
ground and located Texas and gang of
negroes near the camp. Texas eSpied
the sheriff and opened fire, and the bull
lets flew so thick and fast that Sheriff
Brinsfield and his men fled across field.
Securing guns they returned and made
another attack on the negroes this time
compelling them to flee in every direction.
Texas was shot down. but managed to
crawl into the woods. and was spirited
away by friends. Peter Johns was also

SAYS |DTAROD IS
A FROST
w. e. ROWE WRITES FROM FAIR
BANKS TO SOUND WARNING TO
WORKING MEN TO REMAIN
AWAY FROM NORTH.

Fairbanks, Alaska, Jan. 10, 1910.
Daily World.-I see by the papers
that there are lots of people contem-
plating coming to Fairbanks. Some
OF them are no doubt coming on the
strength of the outside papers boom
ing the Iditarod, which is a frost.
Pay has been found on two claims
and there have been over 1000 holes
sunk to bedrock and they are all a
blank, and there are hundreds of idle
men here in Fairbanks, and more
coming back from the new strike, so
you would do the working men a
great favor to state the facts in your
paper. Wages have already been re-
duced on some creeks to 81 a day.
Hoping these few lines will find
its way in the columns in the COL
umns Of your valuable paper. The
men that are working here now are
working on what we call bedrock.
They work all winter until the wash
up in the spring without any pay;
then If the ground proves good they
get their pay. and il not, they get a
worthless time check and walk away.
Yours truly,

DEFINED THE ISSUE.

Past experience has valuable les
sons even for the chief magistrate Of
a republic. When the tariff bill was
under consideration in the special
session, President Taft did not indi-
cate clearly and emphatically his po-
sition on the pending measure until
the bill was approaching its final
stages. Notwithstanding his defense
of the bill, he indicated that it did
not fully satisfy him but he accepted
it on the theory that it was the best
obtainable under the circumstances
and doubtless it was.
In the present instance, the presi-
dent has taken occasion in his Wal
dorf-Astoria address to clearly de-
finc his position on pending issues.
He spoke In a conciliatory but at the
same time In an emphatic vein and
fully informed congress and the ma
ton what he, as chief of the repub-
lican party expects the republican
majority in congress to do in order
to fulfill the party pledges made in
the last campaign. He also made it
clear that the existing laws are to be
enforced without fear or favor.
The president has defined the issue
upon which the republican party will
enter the coming congressional con-
test. 1t is now up to the republican
majority in congress to support the
administration in the stand which it

Albert b. Cummins.

Albert Baird Cummins, United
States senator from Iowa and the
originator of the '''Iowa idea" in re-
gard to the tariff question, was born
in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania, Febru-
airy Is, 1850, and received his early
education in an academy at Waynes-
burg. After being admitted to the
bar he located in DesMoines, Iowa,
and began the practise of law. His
first public office was as a member
Of the state legislature. He took an
Independent stand in politics and from
the first waged vigorous war on the
republican organization that had long
been in control of affairs in Iowa.
In 1901, following a sensational cam
paign, Mr.. Cummins was elected gov
ernor. He served his first term and
was renominated and reelected. I'm
der his administration the reform
idea gained great Roadway in Iowa.
AS candidate for third term Gov
ernor Cummins again swept the state.
His election to the United States SEN
ate came in 1908, when he was chosen
to serve out the unexpired term of
Senator Allison. In January, 1909, he
was reelected for the full term.

has taken. Failure to do SO will in
vite defeat at the polls in November.
It is significant that just prior to and
following the presidents address
there has been little manifestation
of that intolerant attitude which some
of the party leaders have been prone
to indulge in. Talk about reading
certain men or factions out of the
party has ceased and it is well that
it should.
A few temporizing party leaders
feared that it would be unwise for
the president to make the New York
speech, but already it has become ap-
parent that no mistake was made. In
stead of tending to unsettle business
conditions, it has strengthened them
by removing apprehension and un-
certainty.
