Discovery Made That Roose.
welt Has Not Been in Sym.
pathy With Speaker Of
House For Long Time.

Washington, May 24-"Roosevelt
is an insurgent," for their battle cry
in the fight for reelection this fall,
the house progressives are planning
to sweep Roosevelt into the midst of
terrific campaign. The secret in
formation on which the insurgents
based their assurance of Roosevelt's
active support against Cannonism
was available for the first time to-
day.
The situation reviyes the unpub-
llshed report made to the insurgent
caucus in March, 1909, by a commit
tee composed of Nelson, of Wiscon-
sin; Madison, of Kansas. and Gard
ner. of Massachusetts,, charged with
the mission of obtaining the endorse
ment of Roosevelt for insurgent pol
icies in the closing days OF his ad
ministration.
The following statements are in
icluded in the report: March 3. 1909,
Roosevelt proposed to give Nelson a
letter endorsing the fight on Cannon,
and expressed himself as IN SYM
patty with the progressive move
ment. He said: Cannon is the
greatest obstacle to my efforts to
secure good legislation in my admin
istration"
The afternoon OF March 3 the in
surgent committee called on lRpose-
welt and Nelson outlined their plan
of attack on Cannon, asking Roose-
welt officially to endorse the move
Roosevelt declared his sympathy
with the insurgents. but felt he
should remain silent, not wanting
to embarrass Taft. After two hours
he said he would write a letter that
could be used among the house with
out reserve, but not for publication.
The letter was a complete endorse
ment of the insurgent program.
When the committee left the white
house il was understood Roosevelt
would write a letter the next day.
The next day they called while in
lauguration preparations were on.
Taft was present when the commit
tee arrived. Roosevelt arose and
shook Nelson's hand and said: I'm
sorry" He said he reached a deci-
sion that the letter would be I'M
wise from what Taft had said. Then
he took Gardner and Nelson TO Taft
to plead with him for several min
utes to help the insurgents. Taft
turned OF the matter in a joking
way
Roosevelt has not spoken politics
publicly since. The insurgents have
written Roosevelt frequently since,
and his replies are guarded care
fully.
Throughout the interview the only
objection Roosevelt made to the pub
lie declaration of his sympathy with
the progressive movement was that
his successor might be embarrassed.
81 don't want to seem to inter-
fere at all. don't want to appear
to seize the reins from the hands OF
my successor" he said.
One of the last acts of Rooseyelts
, administration, as he stood in the
presidents room at the capitol. was
to take Representatives Gardner and
Nelson by the hand and lead them
to Taft and plead with the presi-
dent-elect to lat least keep your
hands OF" This he has done
Within a half hour Roosevelt sur
rendered the presidency to Taft and
severed himself from politics.

OF THE ALMSHOUSE
CARTEE AND THOMPSON WILL
BOTH CLAIM MONEY FROM
COUNTY.

IL is practically assured that T.
N. Cartee will bring suit to recover
the emoluments of the Office of coun-
ty almshouse keeper. All efforts to
have the appeal OF w. A. Thompson
from the action of the fiscal court
tried at this term of court have fail
ed, and to walt until the next term
would mean the trial after the ex-
piration of Thompson's term of
Office. Cartee will file suit for the
fees allowed the keeper for feeding
the inmates. The bills OF w. A.
Thompson will be rejected by the
fiscal court, and Thompson probably
will file suit to recover the money.

It's Support.
HEARD THERE WAS HOME HERE

Ignorance of the law has cost Mrs
eddie Thomas. of Shawneetown, Ill,
remorse and she is occupying a cell
in the county Jail. sixth and Clark
streets, for abandoning her four
weeks-old boy at the New Richmond
House yesterday morning. She was
held over for an investigation by the
grand jury into the case, which
Police Judge Cross considers one of
the most pitiful occurrences he has
ever come in contact with since he
has been on the bench.
Mrs. Thomas was arrested at
Cairo yesterday afternoon just as
she left the stageplank of the
steamer Dick Fowler and was placed
in the holdoyer until Chief Henry
Singery arrived. He returned this
morning with the young mother in
custody. She denied nothing.
When Judge Cross announced the
charge. Mrs. Thomas, who sat APP
parently unconcerned in the court
room, said: I'm guilty. for l was
ignorant of the law. I'm willing to
take the child back and take care
of it,"
This is too serious a matter, -
Judge Cross replied. land | am going
to let the grand jury look into it,"
She was transferred to the county
jail
She was Desperate.
Mrs. Thomas refused to give out
a statement to a reporter for The
Sun and said she would say nothing.
As far as could be learned about her
from her brief conversation with
Chief Singery, she has a mother and
step-father residing in Shawneetown.
Mrs. Thomas claimed TO have mar
ried Charles Thomas, a farm hand,
at New Madrid. Mo, last November.
A short time ago she returned TO
Shawneetown in a delicate condition
and four weeks ago the boy was
born. She claims that her husband
was there at the time. He returned
TO Missouri and is supposedly work
ing on a farm near East Prairie, Mo.

and the child Mrs. Thomas, il is
said. left Shawneetown after a quar-
rel with her parents, and left her
babe at Paducah, having heard that
there was a home here. She claims
she did not know it was against the
law.
When she arrived at Cairo she
had less than so cents and In order
to pay her fare to East Prairie she
intended pawning her umbrella. She
broke down and wept at the Cairo
station. The message from Chief
Singery was received just as the
steamer Fowler was whistling for
the wharf and patrolmen were sent
on the run to meet the boat.
The child was cared for at the
New Richmond House yesterday by

The Printer An Easy Guy.

The manufacturers of print
ers ink have announced an adj
vance in the price of all inks
used by the printing fraternity
if for no other reason than the
fact that the printers stood
for the recent raise in the prices
on paper, rollers and other sup
plies cheerfully and the ink max
er will no doubt consider him
self in line for compliments for
the hardness in raising the price
of his products as compared
with other concerns catering to
to the needs of the printer
The printer is an easy guy any
way and the knowledge of this
fact has leaked out in Washing
ton, d. c., and to avoid protest,
the postal department is about
to charge the deficit of S28, 100000
(made by rural route extension)
to the printers account and to
allow them to bear like burden
annually for all time to come by
raising the newspaper postage
rates which are now self support
ing. Yes, the printer is an easy
guy, has a way all his own, of
making a dollar do the work of
ten; can carry on big cash
business without a cent of mon
ey but there is limit with all
the combination being worked at
his expense He cannot stand
the raise many more times and
it should not cause any great
surprise should he call for a
show down at the next raise
especially if he should be raised
for the National debt which Con
gress seems to have lost sight of
