ROOSEVELT DECLINES
Ex-president Puts Quietus on
Political Boom Launched
by New York Friends.
SAYS HE CAN'T ACCEPT

Utica. N. Y, July 2.-The boom de.
signed to make ex-President Roosevelt
the Republican Candidate for Govern
or of New York state in the fall elec
tion launched by the Republican club
OF Utica two weeks ago came to a
fizzle today when it was learned that
President Adams had received a per
sonal letter from Mr. Roosevelt asking
the club to cease any agitation to have
him nominated for governor of New
York. The letter follows:
my dear sir:-May l, &noaRh you
cordially thank the Republican Club
of Oneida county for its message ofsaD
preciative good will
Believe me, appreciate it, and
trust you will make the club under
stand that i do appreciate it. But
also ask that the club at once stol
any agitation to have me nominated
for governor. 1t would be an abso
lutte impossibility for me to accept
with high regards,
Sincerely yours,
Theodore Roosevelt"

Statement of Chief Executive
to the Effect That Measure
Was Not Forced Upon Con-
gress Regarded Significant.
PARTY LEADERS MAY
USE 1T IN CAMPAIGN
Assert That Attitude of Presi-
dent Taft Indicates a Back
Down in Favor of the Rail-
roads.


Washington, D. c., July 3-Prasi-
dent Taft's declaration at Beverly
yesterday that the new railroad law
had not been forced through congress
was taken by democrats here to indi-
cate a backdown by the administra-
ton of it's announced purpose to re-
strain and to prevent advances in
freight rates. 1t is assumed to mean
that railroads are to be permitted to
put. in effect many of the advances
recently held up by the President un-
der an agreement with the railroad
magnates. There was rejoicing at
headquarters of the democratic cam
paign committee over the Beverly
pronouncemept after an interview had
been had with the President by
Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission. The sharp
est protest against the recent threat
ened advances in freight rates was
from the middle west shippers. 1t
was President Taft's proudest boast
when he got through the railroad bill
that it enabled the administration to
protect the shippers against rate ad-
vances by the railroads.
With the passage of the bill there
was a break in railroad stock values
The commission followed I'D the blow
with a refusal to permit the existing
rates in the territory west of the
Mississippi river and a general cut
was ordered. Then the stock marke,
went to pieces. On the heels of this
trouble there are threatened strikes
by conductors and trainmen on the
southern roads. All railroads in the
south, north and west are united in a
declaration that they cannot pay in
creased wages unless are permitted tc
raise the freight rates.
Chairman Knapp carried report o1
these conditions to President Taft
The statement issued from Beverly in
dicates that the interstate commerce
commission will suspend the proposed
increases in rates only in exceptiona
instances. The cases which on theil
faces are flagrant, the commission viii
examine minutely.
If the commission follows the course
outlined in dispatches from Beverley
shippers will never get a chance t
be heard regarding many increases
Already the commission has allowed
some increases ta 20 into effect in of
ficial classification territory on auto
mobiles and vehicles generally, as wei
as on some other articles. But the new
law puts the burden of proof on tn.
railroads to show that the increase.
are justified. This part of the law
it is viewed by many, will not be car
ried into effect if the rate increases
are not suA6ended and the roads mad,

The small boy was unable to re-

the smell of smoke was general in all

Main street, where the largest crowd

the celebration on Monday will be safe

Thousands of dollars have been
spent for fireworks in the past week
with the regular dealers and others
who handle small lines. Business is
reported by the dealers to have been
exceptionally good and will excel that

crackers and like varieties is no
greater than usual, but the demand is
more for roman candles, sky rockets,
and other fireworks which are attrac.

There will be hundreds of citizens

will not open their stores, while all
who do will close early in the day.

ordinance, seems to have been effec

kinds of explosives which were plac

Chief of Police Gormon has given
the patrolmen orders to arrest any
persons who violate the laws, wheth

police will not permit any roudyism
to be manifested in the celebration
and SO long as the laws are obeyed
no one will be molested.

Il SPLENDID NAN.

Hon. E. e. Adams, the broad-gauge
and able editor of the Fergus Falls
Journal, comes out squarely in favor
of the nomination of Thomas D.
O'Brien by the republican state con-
vention to succeed himself as a JUS
tice of the supreme court. Mr..
O'Brien is an ornament to the bench,
and if fitness were the prime requisite
he would be renominated by acclama-
ton. We cordially approve of. the
Journal article which is herewith re-
produced:
"There has been great deal of talk
about taking the judiciary out of poll
tics and nominating men for the bench
regardless of their political affilia-
tions. The republicans of the state
are going to be put to the test in this
matter. There is but one democratic
judge on the supreme bench at the
present time, Judge Thomas D.
O'Brien of St. Paul. He was a
prominent member of the Ramsey
county bar before Governor Johnson
was elected governor. The governor
appointed him insurance commissions
er because at that time strong man
was needed in that important Office.
He became one of the most influential
commissioners in the country and was
one of Governor Johnson's most in
duential advisers during his three ad-
ministrations, and was the greatest
moral and intellectual force in it. He
was a high class man, and when va
cancy occurred in the supreme court,
Governor Johnson appointed him to
that position, and it was one of the
most creditable appointments of his
administration. During the time he
has served on the bench he has served
most creditably, and if the republican
party has any sense of the fitness of
things, and any desire to do that
which will commend them to the
people of the state, it will not pull the
supreme court into politics but will re-
nominate Judge O'Brien, notwith-
standing he was a democrat before
taking his place upon the bench.'''

A Clever French Captive.

A person who was supposed to be the
French General Mouton, count de Lo-
bau, was once captured by an English
vessel, but after time the captain
discovered that his prisoner was the
Count de Montrond. "Why did you de-
ceive me-" he demanded angrily of the
count. II did not deceive you,' replied
Montrond; mot at all. You thought 1
was General Mouton- You told me so.
You have fifty gun frigate. Was it
for me, who have only a pocket pistol.
to contradict you?'
The captain did not forgive Montrond
and took every opportunity to treat
him rudely One evening at dinner
some one proposed the health of the
French. AS Montrond rose to acknowl-
edge it the captain cried: 'They are
all towards! I make no exceptions!"
When Montrond's turn came he gave
this sentiment, ''The English-they are
all gentlemen, but I make EXCEPTIONS

THE LOT OF HARDSHIP,
1t Is Ever the School In Which Great
ness Is Taught.

1t Is Ever the School In Which Great
ness Is Taught.
There is a purpose in circumstance.
Nothing in our lives is for naught. All
things which have been given us, even
our chains, are meant for our making
meant for the working out of our good
~ destiny. Bunyan in prison, appar-
emily cursed by sunless hours of soil
tude and loneliness, was greater
Bunyan than if he had been free to
roam afield. The walls which shut his
body in could not confine his soul, It
escaped them and went out into all the
world to lift to higher levels the hope
and vision Of mankind The log cabin
in which Lincoln was born lent it's
ruggedness and simplicity to the man
himself and has become a shrine which
men approach with reverend feet as to
some holy place which love and truth
have glorifed. The hard lot is ever the
school in which greatness is taught,
and the best scholars are those who
perceive the purpose of difficulty and
do not grow bitter as they grapple
with it. The very genius Of progress
slve living consists in capacity to
appreciate the day and what the day
holds, to find in all seasons and events
divine conspiracy to refine the soul
and make it a greater soul, to hail
hardship with grim gladness and bless
the hills which must be climbed, to
look with kindly eyes upon every hui
man thing, to accept with complacence
the small circle Of opportunity until it
has been shown that we are worthy to
move in wider one. Along no other
path may we come to our best and lar
gest estate Of being and serving

the blank piece Of paper AS a piece

Secretary Knox's attempt to open
reciprocity negotiations with Canada
has proven a failure-the Canadian
governments reply to his letter was
that the dominion is not ready to
enter into such negotiations. This
goes to show that the dominion is not
anxious for such treaty that it is
satisfied with prevailing trade regula-
tions. The Toronto Mail and Empire
has this to say of the matter: "Can-
ada will take it's own course and not
allow it's career to be shaped for it in
Washington. We have great nation
al destiny to fulfill, and our people
are sure to be equal to the part set for
them in the affairs of the world. It
is their will, not Washington's will,
that must prevail at Ottawa.''
