talk, most of it belongs to the fantastic
and political pipe dream variety. That
there are many people who would like
to see Roosevelt president again there
is no question, and it is entirely rea-
sonable to suppose some of them are
working toward this end. From talk
ing with men who were close to the
ex-president, however, am convinced
that he has nothing to do with these
efforts, would not countenance them
and wAl not again consent to be can
didate for president. Nevertheless the
picture must include this more or less
vague and shadowy background.
Another powerful instrument for con-
servation and other good things has
come into birth in the house of gov
ernors. Finally this body is perma-
nently established and will hold year
ly meetings at different state capitals.
1t is a great step forward and one
whose possible consequences no one
can foresee. 1t is worthy of note
that the plan adopted is along the lines
advocated by Mr. William George Jor-
dan, the real author of the idea, and
that the governors gave Mr.. Jordan a
public vote of thanks for his work.

A Representatiye Quartet.

A Representative Quartet.
AS to the other figures in our kineto-
scope drama, Representative George
W. Norris of Nebraska, the man who
introduced the amendment which de-
prived the speaker of the appointment
of the Ballinger investigators, is an
insurgent who is serving his fourth
term in the house. Like Professor
Graves, he was born in Ohio, but ten
years earlier, in 1861. His father died
while he was a child, and his only
brother was killed in the civil war
This compelled the boy to help support
the family, which he did by hiring out
to neighboring farmers. He then
taught school and earned enough to at
tend Baldwin university and an indie
pendent normal at Valparaiso, Ind He
continued teaching, studied law at
nights and was admitted to the bar at
the age of twenty-five. Shortly after
ward he went to Nebraska and began
holding office almost Immediately. He
was three times prosecuting attorney
and twice district judge. He has a
faculty of being elected by very small
margins, but, in the language of the
song, of getting there just the same.
Mr.. Norris is speaker of force and
has the courage to stand on his own
feet. His anti-Cannon amendment
was adopted by three majority and,
measured by the results flowing from
1t, was the most severe jolt Uncle Joe
has yet received.
Representative Everis A. Hayes, the
head of the insurgent caucus and the
man who had the famous conference
! with the president which cinched the
Norris victory over Cannon, was once
Wisconsin lawyer who made mil.
lions in the iron mines and then went
to California, where he is now CAPT
talist and newspaper publisher. He
was born in Wisconsin in 1855 and
| graduated from the state university
In his California home he is known as
reformer and by his decency and lib
erality as an employer is very popular
with his printers, who at one time
voted him a handsome present. Mr.
Hayes is serving his third term In con
gress. Nobody knows just what was
said at his conference with the presi
dent. Ostensibly it concerned the Sc
lection of the Ballinger investigators
but it is not impossible that the whole
question of the relation of the insur
gents to the administration was gone
over. Shrewd guessers have opined
that Hayes assured Taft the insurgents
would support his policies and was as
sured in turn that the president had
nothing to do with the house fight and
only asked loyalty to his measures, the
Inference being that he had no big
patronage stick with which to punish

"HERo OF FORT FISHER"


Noted Exploit OF the Late General
Newton M. Curtis.
General Newton Martin Curtis, the
hero of Fort Fisher and author of
"From Bull Run to charlottesville"
who recently died in New York city.
was born in st. Lawrence county, N.
", May 21, 1885, where he still had.
at Ogdensburg, Il home. He attended
the Gouverneur Wesleyan seminary.
The day after Fort Sumter surren-
dered to the Confederates it was sug-
gested in the town of De Peyster, N.
Y, where he was living, that it send
fourteen men to Ogdensburg to form
part of a company that should join the
Union forces. Curtis, then twenty-six'
years old, was for organizing a COM
pany and taking it to Ogdensburg to
join a regiment there
He started in to raise a company be-
fore President>L incoln called for vol
unteers and in April was in Albany
with eighty men. whose services, along
with his own, he wanted to offer. The
little company was made a part of the
Sixteenth New York, and young Cur
tbs was its captain. He was at the first
battle of Bull Run and served with the
Army of the Potomac until the battle
of Antietam. He was wounded during
the peninsular campaign, after which
he was promoted to be lieutenant colo
mel of the One Hundred and Forty-sec-
ond regiment. He was soon made its
colonel, and it was with that command
he saw his hardest fighting
The exploit oftenest connected with
his name was the assault and capture
of Fort Fisher, which was a strong
seacoast fertilization in North Carolina
between Cape Fear river and the At
lantic ocean. 1t resisted all attacks UNI
til the winter of 1S64-5. His regiment
was part of force under the COM
mand of General Butler which was
landed near the fort.
Colonel Curtis led his men close up
to the fort while the fleet bombarded
it. General Butler gave up the fight
and ordered Colonel Curtis to retire.
The colonel and his men remained near
the walls OF the fort He kept sending
back word that he could take it If his
superior would let him. He finally re-
tired after the. fourth order directing
him to do so.
Upon the return of the expedition
to Fort Monroe General Grant, hearing
Of the colonel's exploit, sent for him
and asked a lot Of information about

1t is striking fact that all these
moving picture scenes have revolved
about the Ballinger-P inchot contro-
versy. Anything that happens in the
national capital these days somehow
bears relation to this all engrossing
struggle. Even the house of govern
ors spent one day discussing conserva-
ton, and one of the chief events of the
National Civic federation in session
at the same time was the ovation Civ

other attempt be made on the fort,
replacing General Butler with General
Terry. Another brigade was added to
the force.
| General Curtis brigade advanced by
degrees, lying down fiat and then run

enemy got in one volley at them, which
was ineffective, and by that time the
attackers were just under the walls
of the fort and below the plane of fire.
| The attackers scaled the walls and
| took the bastion nearest the Cape Fear
river, and then began a stubborn fight

garrison from one traverse to another.
Though wounded four times during
the day, General Curtis kept his com

shell sent piece of metal against his
head knocking him senseless and rob
bing him of his left eye. He remained
unconscious five hours, and it was
thought that he was dead. His obit-

A Midwinter Nights Dream.

An up to date picture of Washington
would not be complete without a ref
erence to certain underground rumors
of a secret cabal in Washington, New
York and elsewhere that lot of peo-
pie say is the actuating force behind
this whole conservation row. These
rumors, some of which have become
public, are to the effect that the
charges against Ballinger have been
fomented for the purpose of discredit-
ing the Taft administration and nomi-
mating Theodore Roosevelt for presi-
dent in 1912. According to report, this
secret organization, which is popularity
known as the return from Elba'
crowd, is composed of newspaper men,
'.muck raking" magazines, insurgents,
conservationists, few members of
congress and greater or less number
Of Roosevelt Republicans throughout
the country, The allegations have
even gone to the length Of asserting
that these men would not weep to see
4 Democratic congress elected.
The writer believes that, while there
may be grain Of truth in all this
