Washington Not the Place.
To the Editor Of The Times. Vir.
ginia has placed a statue OF Gen. Rob
ert f. Lee. coupled with that of Gen.
George Washington. in Statuary nall
in the national capitol, and has pro-
nounced her ultimatum for the consid-
Grafton of the general government.
which is as follows IF the general
government refuses to accept the sta
tue OF Lee, II cannot have the statue
of Washington" Can there be any
thing within the scope of thought more
incongruous than the placing OF the
statue Of Lee where Virginia has
placed Il? II there be a place In the
United States where 1t would be fit
ting TO perpetuate the memory Of this
man deeds, let Virginia remove the
statue to such place; for Washington
is not the place.
In Lees invasion OF Pcnnsy lvania
his objective point was Washington,
which he meant to destroy; and he
would have accomplished his purpose
but for a brave Union army which
turned him and his traitorous hosts
back from the bloody field OF Gettys-
burg
Gen. Washington espoused the cause
of the colonists, a cause so just that
they could fearlessly appeal to the SUI
preme Judge OF the world for the in
tegrity OF their intentions. Their
wrongs are fully set forth In the Dec
laration OF Independence. Gen Lee
espoused a cause so unjust that pray
ers for its success would be likely TO
stick In the throat. Not much integ-
rity in the intentions OF men who
would disrupt the Union and institute
some sort of government the corner
stone OF which was to be slavery. In
selecting Gen. Lee. Virginia passed
bv Gen. Winfield Scott, Gen. Zachary
Taylor. and Gen. George II. Thomas;
all Virginians whose loyalty dated
from birth. and faltered not at death.

Plaisted, mayor of this city, was elect
ed governor at the election held in
this state Monday. The Democrats
have probably elected four congress
men and it is likely that they will
have a majority in the state legisla-
kure.
That state issues, notably the dras-
tic enforcement of the prihibitory law
by the party in power, have been

Plaisted is freely admitted on both
sides and this result is not much of

the political complexion Of Maine rep

the voters on the questions which are
uppermost in the Insurgent west.
Should the legislature prove to be
Democratic it is altogether likely that
the question of maintaining the pro-
hibitory law will be submitted to the
people and of course a Democrat will
succeed Eugene Hale in the United
States senate.

CONGRESSMAN BOUTELL LOST
Foss Has Close CaII-Cannon Has
Overwhelming Vote-Most of Re-
pubIicans Who Voted for Lorimer
Are Renominated.

Chicago.-In the Illinois primaries
Thursday Frederick H. Gansberger
defeated Congressman Henry Sher-
man Boutell for the Republican nomi-
nation for congress in the Ninth dis
trict.
George E. Foss, another of the vet
Grams from Chicago, had a narrow call
in the Tenth district. Late returns
indicated that G. P Englehardt was
leading by 100 votes, with nearly fifty
precincts to hear from.
AS most of the missing precincts
are from the farming district in Lake
county, Foss' friends declared that his
nomination was certain, although by
much smaller vote than was ex.
pected.
With the exception of the Ninth and
Tenth districts, the Republican con-
gressmen from Cook county were re-
nominated without a break.
In the districts outside of Chicago
the chief items of Republican interest
were the nominations of George w.
Conn, Jr., of Woodstock in the Elev-
enth district, over Ira J. Copley and
John c. Mckenzie of Elizabeth in the
Thirteenth district.
Mckenzie will run for the place now
filled in congress by Congressman
Frank o. Lowden.
In the Eighteenth district Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon won in a walk, his
opponent. Henry B. Downs, hardly
getting into the race. The other Re
publican incumbents throughout the
state were renominated with little
trouble
The hardest fight for the Democrats
came in the Fourth district, where
State Senator Rainey and Congress-
man McDermOtt ran neck and neck
race. McDermott, however, won by a
comfortable plurality.
Incomplete returns indicate that the
men who voted for William Lorimer
for senator in the general assembly,
both Republican and Democratic,
gained a sweeping victory.
Even the men who were drawn into

renominated by overwhelming MAORI
ties except in perhaps two instances.

cincts in Chicago. 1t was in this field
that the league made it's hardest fight.

BALLINGER FATE POSTPONED
Congressional Committee Meets, but
Not Having Quorum, Adjourns
Until December 3.

Chicago.-Not until next December
will Richard A. Ballinger. secretary
of the interior, learn the verdict ar
rived at by the congressional in
vestigating committee.
Six members of the committee met
in Chicago Tuesday to take action on
the majority report, but after DELHI
Grating several hours, without a
quorum present, an adjournment was
taken until December
The members present were: Sena-
tor Elihu Root of New York, Knute

Olmstead of Pennsylvania, S. w. Nc
Call of Massachusetts, and, Edwin
DENLY of Michigan, all Republicans.

serve on the committee, is still abroad.
and in his absence the other six pre-
pared a statement in which they de-
clare that the majority resolution
adopted at Minneapolis declaring Sec.
rotary Ballinger guilty of the charges
made against him was irrational"
Senator Nelson declared that he
might call another meeting of the
committee before congress convenes,
and said that in the event of Senator
Flint arriving prior to that time. he,
together with the six who attended
the meeting here, would constitute a
quorum.

HELD IN BIC Theft
Ex-TELLER OF U. S. SUB-TREAS-
URY ARRESTED ON EMREZ-
ELEMENT CHARGE.
TRAPPED BY IMMUNITY STORY
George w. Fitzgerald Is Taken Into
Custody After Federal Jury Re-
turns indictment in $4,000 Rob-
berry Committed Three Years Ago.

Chicago.-The federal grand jury
has again indicted George w. Fitzger-
aid, who was formerly asserting teller
at the United States sub-treasury in
this city, on the charge Of embezzling
$4,000 from the government.
Fitzgerald was arrested in his office
Wednesday by the federal authori-
ties.
Fitzgerald is said to have been
trapped by a story given out some
time ago that the statute of limitations
interviewed and that whoever commit
ted the theft was immune from prose-
cution. This story is declared to have
been circulated for the express pur-
pose of misleading Fitzgerald.
William Boldenweck, under whom
Fitzgerald served, sent his resigna-
ton as subtreasurer to President Taft
September s. He is to leave office
September II and to be succeeded by
Len Small of Kankakee. He denied
that his resignation had anything to
do with the disappearance of the
$173,0OO
George W. Fitzgerald, who was as
sorting teller in the subtreasury, was
arrested first on August %, 1908, on
bench warrant issued by Judge Chef
lain at the request of Assistant States
Attorney James J. Barbour. He was
held in $4,000 bail. When the case
came up for hearing United States
District Attorney Sims obtained tele-
graphic orders from the attorney gen
eral of the United States prohibiting
federal employees from testifying.
The government representatives at
that time stated that they opposed the
trial of the case in the state court I'M
der the advice and direction of Dis
trict Attorney Sims because testimony
adduced at the trial might prevent
the government bringing its case
against a suspect to trial.

ENDS WAR ON INSURGENTS
President Taft Declares That Patron
age Door Will Hereafter Be open
to All Sides.

Beverly. Mass.-No difference be-
tween so-called "Progressives" and
Regulars" will be recognized by Pres
ident Taft hereafter, but all party lead
ers will be treated alike as Republic
ans in the matter of federal support.
The presidents views to this effect
are given in a letter from Secretary
Norton to Republican leader or
Iowa. whose name is not disclosed.
In the letter Secretary Norton
stated that while important Republic
an legislation pending in congress
was opposed by certain Republican
leaders, the president felt that his
duty required him to withhold federal
patron 1ge from senators and repre-
sentatives who seemed to occupy a
pOsition hostile to efforts TO fulfill
the pledges of the party platform.
That attitude on the part of the
president ended, however, with the
more recent primary elections and
nominating conventions to which the
people have declared themselves, and
the president now looks upon PRO
gressives" and Regulars" alike as
Republicans and as such entitled to
his support and the support of the
party. and the fall elections, Secre-
tary Norton's letter says, must set
tie the question whether the differ
ences of the last session of congress
shall be perpetuated or forgotten.
Among those from whom, it is said,
the president temporarily withheld
federal patronage were Senators La
Toilette, Bristow, Dolliver and Cum
Minis and Representative Hubbard OF
Iowa.
