St. Paul. Mimi. Sept 10.-Wouldn't
il be a nice thing for the predatory
interests" if Theodore Roosevelt had
accepted the offer Of the presidency Of
Minnesota University, formally made
to him by Frank B. Kellogg while the
former president was here to speak
at the Conservation Congress and
state fair?
OF course the former president has
turned down the proposition. A salary
of 100000 year didn't appeal to
him for minute According to the
story told in the corridors of the st.
Paul hotel where President Taft and
Col. Roosevelt were guests Mr.. Kel-
logg the ST Paul lawyer, whom Roose-
welt selected as his trust buster,
told the former president that If he
would accept the presidency Of the
University of Minnesota it would at
once receive an endowment fund of
$30000.000 which is within few mil
feller has bestowed upon the Univer-
sity of Chicago But the former pres
idept couldn't see it. He considers
that he has his work cut out for him.
And there is the matter of the pres
idency of the United States at sal
airy of $4,000 year.
1t is understood that James J. Hill,
the grand old man" of the northwest,
is the one who would supply the $780,
100000, providing Mr.. Roosevelt would
take the presidency. Mr.. Hill has
great wisdom and he knows that no
man could bride the Roosevelt tongue
so it is not apparent that he was
scheming to get Roosevelt out Of the
fight on the interests" in offering to
give him the presidency of Mime
sota's great university.
Mr.. Hill and the former president
are great friends. OF course it is
natural that man who is at the head
of a great railroad organization would
not agree with some of the policies
of Colonel Roosevelt, but as man to
man they like each other After shak-
velt 100000 a year, Minneapolis an
other 100000, the state of Minnesota
third hundred thousand and the uni
versity could add another such sum-
IL the former chief executive would
take the presidency of the university" :"
said a st. Paul man, but even that
wouldn't tempt him.
Colonel Roosevelt always is pretty
wide-awake but when his private car
was switched into the station in Min
neapolis he was still asleep and the
reception committee and great crowd
had to wait Tor him, The trip has
been one of the most strenuous the
colonel has had and he had given or
ders the night before that he was not
to be disturbed until the last minute
He dressed in a jiffy when once he
opened his eyes and soon was in the
swirl of mad excitement found where
ever he goes.
Then again the great crowd at the
Auditorium was kept waiting, but was

SITUATION NOW
QUITE SERIOUS
MANY BOMB EXPLOSIONS IN
NEW YORK DURING THE
PAST MONTH.

New York. Dec 12.-Fifty bomb
explosions and as many murders, all
designated as black hand offenses,
Lave occurred In New York during
The past six months, according to
report issued today by the Ital-
i'm Civic league. which demands that
ne PEOPLE of the race give the Off
GERS of the law more assistance In
their efforts to catch the criminals
and have them executed.
The constantly increasing frequen.
C! OF taack hand outrages has arous.
ed b1e fear not only of Italians, but
a'So OF American residents of many
sections, as bombs have recently been
exploded without any regard whatev-
er fer lives of persons passing along
the streets In view of the character
Of the recent depredations of this
Kind, II Is remarkable that scores

italians Are Silent.
New York detectives, native and
Italian, are at all times working on
these cases, tut they meet with lit
tie 81 recess because the Italians fear
10 give them any information The
dread of having n bomb exploded be-
ruath their homes or business houses
or Of being dispatched ty the swift
stah of stiletto, silences their
tongues.
Their apparent immunity from
capture and punishment makes the
tlacl- hand gangs more daring each
d..y, and some of their daylight at
tacEs have been most desperate in
character. The winter is expected to
witness larger number of outrages
tt&n have ever before been commit
ted, and an additional force Of plain
c!Cthes men will be kept on duty
in the Italian districts. Since the as
sass!nation of Petrosini, the great
Italian detective, while ne was trac-
;rg black hand men in Italy, the
sG,urdrels look upon the detectives
with scorn. and 1t is continually
feared that others may follow Petro

CITIZENS URGED
TO USE STAMPS
OF CONFEDERAcV
ARE SELLING NEAT CHRIST
MAS SEAL.

The Christmas spirit begins to per
meate US. How attractive are the
gift packages when neatly sealed
with the little Confederate seal
stamps. Not only do the stamps
make your packages secure and give
them the Christmas look, but the
main point OF interest to Daughters
Of the Confederacy Is that percent
age CT the proceeds from the sale Of
these stamps will go toward the Ar
ltngton fund.
For 80 years this monument to
Robert e. Lee, the cherished Lender
OF the southern army, has been in
our hearts and minds VIII the presi-
dents of all chapters order as early
as possible these stamps from the
Georgia chairman Of the Arlington
monument. Mrs. James A. Rounsa-
vile, Rome, GA. and help in this, our
present greatest memorial undertak-
ink?
The committee wishes to emphar
size the fact that this seal does not
in any way interfere with the Red
Cross work. From the Red Cross So
ciety the committee has received the
greatest nelp and courtesy and the
hearty wish of all success to you
Whenever possible the Daughters of
the Confederacy will encourage and
promote the sale of Red Cross seals.
This Confederate seal may compete
with others, but never with the Red
Cross seal, for that does not sell for
beauty, but for duty.
These beautiful seals are on sale In
the city at Roses, Roberts, Fearing
toms, Bruce's, Andrews and Nan
ney's drug store, and by members of
c. A Evans chapter, U. D. c..
AS has already been said, In beau
tiful Arlington cemetery are the
graves of 265 southern soldiers, rep
resenting nearly every southern
state, andF70 of these are Georgians,
more than one-fourth of the total, so
that Georgia's obligation Is greater
than any other state. And Bruns-
wick owes a debt, too, as In the Con.

Is not an additional tax.

aenths of one per cent for the next
awo years; after that time with no
aurther increase In school attendance

Denses.
