BY A COMPANION

tim of Distressing Accident
Near His Home.
WHILE EXAMINING RIFLE
Weapon in Hands of Cecil Koch, Is
Unexpectedly Discharged, Bull
let Entering Temple.

Otto Rolf, 15-year-old son of Profess
ssor E. F. Rolf, 647 Fourteenth ave-
nue., met with an untimely end this
noon when he was accidentIy shot in
the head by rife held in the hands
of a companion, Cecil Koch The two
lads, together with Theodore. Otto's
brother, and two others. were holding
a conference several blocks away from
the home of the victim.
Just how the shooting took place
could not be learned at once, as the
boys were too excited to explain it
and there were no other witnesses
Otto and his brother were returning
at 1870 to their home after having
made a visit to an old crippled man liv
ing near the factory of the Rock Is
land Tool works, several locks west
of the boys home. On their way they
had to cross over a slough. and it was
here that they met the other three
boys. One of them, Cecil Koch, had
a % calibre rife and it is presumed
that the five boys were examining it
and trying to make it shoot, as there
seemed to be something the matter
with it.
Shot in Temple.
Suddenly the gun went off. Cecil,
who was holding it. fell backwards and
the other boys thought for a minute
he was shot, but he soon Strengthened
up and then it was found that Otto
was shot in the left temple. He was
still breathing. The boys were so
frightened for a minUte they did not
know what to do. Then Cecil ran to
the Rolf home and told the boys ia
Their of the accident. Mr. Rolf had
members of the family summon a ply
stefan while he hurried TO the scene
of the tragedy. There he found the
lad still breathing, but very family.
He carried him To his home, where
half an hour later he passed away.

MARYSVILIfE, Ohio, Oct 2e-
Former United States Senator Joseph
Benson Foraker, in opening the Repub-
llcan state campaign here this after
noon, denpunced the ''new national
ism" of Theodore Roosevelt as "trca-
so6able as secession itseIf.'
He said: "We have lately had a new
declaration Of political principles. They
are politically baptized as the doctrine
Of new nationalism, They are set
forth in the nature of platform for
new party. Possibly they are intended
for that use only in the event that the
for the presidency by either Of the old
parties.
However that may be, il is well to
note that they violate our excellent
form Of government by arrogatiug to
the national government the control
of matters so local that they purely be-
long to the jurisdiction of the states,
Compared to Secession.
"Aside from all other objections,
this new doctrine is as certainly de-
structive of our institutions as any
invoked in the name of the southern
confederacy.
Such preachment is not national
ism, either new or old, but imperialism
pure and simple. 1t is, in spirit at least,
as reasonable as secession ITSELF
Mr.. Foraker continued: "There is
vastly more involved than choice be-
tween Governor Harmon and Mr., Hard
ing. Especially is this true as to the
Republicans, for the Republican party
is engaged not only in Ohio, but
throughout the whole country in a con-
test most serious and of the most far.
reaching consequences.
Party Fighting for Life.
"It is not only fighting for victory,
but it is Sighting for its life. II is be-
set by foes within and without. 1t is
not only confronted by its ancient
enemy. but it is weakened and mehaced
by internal discussions that threaten
its very existence.
''In view of existing conditions, he
continued, "I don't know of anything
worse that could happen. We have not
yet recovered from the panic of 1907
and no one can predict when the end
will come.
''It would come at once if it were
not for the restraining hand of a cru
sade against business that has been car
ried so far beyond Just ground that IL
has become well nigh iutolerable.
tTbe programme of New NatioDalism
has one saving feature. however. There
is about il all such a preposterous alb
surdity and such an insufferablc egotIsm
as to excite not only condemnation but
ridjcule.'

Something doing these past five years don't
you think?
The city is swiftly taking her place among
those of the really up-to-date business and resi-
dence centers Of the country.
If the church crowd had been enterprising
most Of this work would have been completed
and paid for quarter of century ago.
Under former administrations the cost per
mile of street paving was $4,000 The cost
under American rule has been n little more than
$4,000 per mile And the work has been in
finitely better. In fact, an expert street build
cr from Chicago was in the city the past week
and, after examining paving here, he declared
it to be as good as the best in the country.
The party that has made so fine record n
the one item of street improvements can GER
tainly be trusted with the roads of Salt Lake
county The money which Mackay has been
squandcring and that which has been used TO
pay ward heclers and members of their families
who swarm through the county Offices would
improve nearly all of the important highways
of the county.
Taxpayers of Salt Lake county would not
employ blacksmith to repair watch, but they
have been employing lot Of incompetents to
manage their public affairs
Isn't it pretty good time that men of in
tegrity and ability are installed in the offices
of this county?
Eighty per cent of the taxpayers of Salt
Lake City are behind the city administration.
THEY HAVE SEEN TO IT THAT FIRST
CLASS ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN
GIVEN The city officials have had the AD-
VICE OF DOZENS OF TIE SHREWDEST
AND MOST PRACTICAL BUSINESS MEN
IN THE CITY. THESE SAME MEN WILL
SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE GIVEN DI-
RECT CHARGE OF THE COUNTY AFFAIRS.
They will see that value received is given for
every dollar expended
The American ticket should be oyerwhelm-
ingly elected. And it will be, if the progressive
men and women consult their own interests and
do their duty at the polls on the Sth of next
month.
