WASHINGTON, April ia confer
ence at the White House today de-
veloped to the evident satisfaction of
President Taft that sufficiently rapid
headway is being made with the prose-
cutlons against the so-called sugar
trust" for customs frauds, and that
there is little likelihood OF congress
sional investigation at this time.
Representative Fitzgerald OF New
York recently introduced in the house
a resolution asking the president
whether II would be expedient for con-
gress TO have the governments infor-
nation at this time Tho resolution
was referred to the committee on ex-
penditure in the treasury department.
of which Mr.. Hill of Connecticut Is
chairman.
Mr.. Hill was at the White House to-

attitude.
Meanwhile Henry stimson, in charge

nj ASHVILLE, Tenn. April 13,--Col.
~ Duncan p. Cooper. convicted of
~ killing former United States Sen
atcr r. w. Carmack and sentenced to
twenty years imprisonment, was
granted a full pardon today by Gov
ernor Patterson, just after the Ten
nesse supreme court had reaffirmed his
sentence The governor declared he
did not believe the Coopers guilty and
that they did not have fair trial
Robin, son Of Colonel Cooper, CON
victed with his father. was remanded
for a new trial by the supreme court.
In the younger mans case the supreme
court was divided. Chief Justice Beard
read dissenting opinion.
Cooper is close personal and po-
liticaI friend and alleged political ad-
wiser of Governor Patterson, who Is
the leader of the ti-prohibition
forces in Tennessee. Carmack was
chief of the prohibition movement. Pat
terson was a most important witness
of the defense at the trial OF the two
Coopers.
on the verge of an election OF the
judiciary the supreme court was called
on to pass finally on the case. AS a
result Of the courts decision opinion
seems general that the old factional
lines-Patterson and anti-Patterson-
the latter representing the prohibition
or statewide element OF the state De-
mocracy, are drawing tighter than
ever. A governor and a state judi
ciary are soon to be elected.
The state Democratic committee
dominated by Patterson men, recently
called a blanket primary for June
to make nominations. Enemies OF Pat
terson freelv charged the inclusion OF
the judiciary as an attempt to WELD
club over the supreme court, when
had the Cooper case under advisement
and every member of which was can
didate for recollection. Matters were
complicated by the refusal OF Chiei
Justice Beard and Justices Shields and
Nell to enter the primary. They Will
run Independently.
Many of Patterson's friends are urg-
ing him to announce his candidacy
while equally strong pressure is being
used to induce him TO run for United
States senator to succeed James r.
Frazier. Mr.. Frazier, a candidate 10
succeed himself. has refused TO enter
the June primary.
Colonel Cooper was at the capitol
when the pardon was entered In the
secretary of states office. He was al
once surrounded by crowd OF frienos
seeking TO congratulate him.
The reversal Of his sons case seemed
to interest and please him to the ex-
clusion OF his own fate.
"I want Robins vindication more
than I wanted pardon" was his re-
mark when told Of the governors ac-
ton on behalf OF himself.
Robin Cooper is under $4,000 bono.
His friends predict that he Will not
again be tried

McGOVERN OR LEWIS i?

Move or less controversy, which is
creating some bitterness and heart
burnings among the brethren, has been
occasioned throughout the state Of late
by the friends Of two Of the Republi
can candidates for governor-M C.
Govern and LeWis-each claiming to
be the candidate favored by Senator
LaFollette, and thus entitled to the
support and fealty of the LaFollerre
faction of the party. Thus far the
McGovern men have seemed to have
the edge on this claim, but it begins
to look as though there are good roa-
sons for the claim of the Lewis men.
A man from Milwaukee, formerly
employed on the editorial staff of the
Free Pree, previous to the rupture
between Senators LaFollette and
Stephenson, and now employed in a
similar capacity on the Milwaukee
Journal, which is the most ardent
advocate of Senator LaFollettee, was
in Lancaster last Sunday, where he
was in conference with a number of
the senior senator's supporters The
information comes direct from q source
that seems thoroughly reliable that
this messenger is making a tour of
the southern part of the state, passing
out the word quietly that the LaFoI-
lette support is to be lined up as
completely as possible for Lewis
This seems calculated to leave a
very bad taste in the mouth of the
McGovern men in this fight,

A YEAR OF EXTREMES.

1t is now said that we are going to
have a wet fall If this proves true
it will complete one of the most re-
markable years for extremes in
weather that we ever remember. Last
winter. as all will recall, was extre me
for it's amount of snow, the first snow
of consequence in December remain
ing on the ground until the break up
came in the spring, so that there was
no frost in the ground and one could
go out into his garden at any time
during the winter and, by removing
two or three feet of snow, readily dig
up the unfrozen ground. Winter was
followed by an unusually warm
March, so warm that the trees and
shrubbery began to leaf out, much
blowing was done and many made
gardens, believing that spring chad
came. - Following this came blight
ing frosts and freezing weather that
effectually killed practically every.
thing in the line Of fruit, set back
growing crops, such as oats etc and
froze the leaves upon the trees SO that
they fell off dead and shriveled.
Spring thus set in late and much
planting was delayed far beyond the
usual time. to the accompaniment of
cold and frequent rains. The summer
has been marked for heat and drought,
which has practically ruined the
potato crop and put severe crimp in
the corn and hay crops, while the
pastures have been brown and bare for
many weeks, to the great injury of
the dairy business in which Wiscon
sin leads. We have not had a good
bountiful rain since May until
the day before yesterday and the
little local showers have not done
much good A cold wet fall now and
early frosts would be the limit.

THE REGENERATE BRISTOW.

The hope Of the people is to hold
their public servants responsible for
their conduct, proclaimed Senator
Bristow, of Kansas, who has been
making lnaurgent speeches in Wiscon
sin in his Oshkosh speech, aud in
proclalming that he hit the nail
squareJy on the head
The senator was also free in hold
ing up to opprobrium numerous fellow
congressman who were using their
sacred trust as the representatives of
the people to feather their own nests,
and he drew a glowing picture of the
ideal public servant, SO sweet and
pure, that he thinks only of advanc-
ing the peoples interests.
It required no stretch of the i'm
agination to identify with this type Of
public servant the anti administrator
insurgents of whom Senator Bristow
is a chosen light.
1t Senator BristOw today looks
upon Office but as ali opportunity to
serve the people and with no eye to
personal advantage, we truly rejoice
in the fact, for he is as "a brand
snatched from the burning.
But few brief years ago, before
insurgence was so profitable a stock IN
trade, he did not possess this ideal
conception of public Office.
Behold his appeal to Senator Long
