Quoting MT. Roosevelt, Judge Parker said
 This is what our colonel says:
 'Nok, one of the honest men of Wall street has sent me letter and in it he has put one of the circulars sent out by Tammany Hall to the Wall street ticker crowd. The circular says this campaign more than any other will affect the busi- ness of the financial interests and every Wall street man ought to give 1t serious thought
 Observe in passing that the colonel street. So that will make two honest men in this state that this campaign has thus far developed. Possibly, with ac- customed modesty, he told you when here today who the other one was.
 'The colonel Is unnecessarily disturbed He would make legitimate appeal for the funds needed for the legitimate ex- penditures of campaign. the issue of the hour vital issue.' as he puts It. No, that won't do. Nobody will take that seriously. Everybody knows by this time that the democratic fight stands for

CREATING LAWS
 FOR NEW MEXICO

Santa Fe, N. M., October 2S.-The committee on corporations of the New Mexico constitutional convention to- day adopted a unique safeguard against delay in the enforcement of orders of the state corporation com mission
 The plan originated with H. o. Bur- sum, chairman of the state republican committed By its provisions if any cor poration affected by an order of the commission falls to appeal to the state supreme court, the order and accom- panying documentary evidence at once shall be submitted to the supreme court to be affirmed. The court is to be considered always in session for that purpose and must give the considera- ton of the order preference over all other cases.
 If error is found in the order it is to be sent back to the commission for correction and then affirmed. Thus judicial ruling of the highest tribunal of the state will be secured and no delay can be caused by sub sequent litigation.
 The corporation commission Is to consist of three elective members and will have wide power from charter ing all new corporations to rate mak- ing.

Taft Appoints Negro Lauyer
 To High GoOernnent Position

Now that the g. 0. p. finds itself in the worst possible shape, the President de- cides to dole out big office to the race in the hope that all of them can be brought into line. Lewis is the assistant to the district attorney in Boston. He was appoined by Colonel Roosevelt
 The colonel. when President, heard of Lewis prowess as football player and general prominence as an athlete. Lewis was then a student at Harvard. About the same time the President was ap- pointing negroes to offices in the south and concluded 1t would be a stroke of non-sectionalsm and allay criticism to pick up some negro and give him a northern berth. Lewis, with his Jack Johnson proclivities, strongly appealed to him, and was made assistant district at- torney.. It was reported at the time that he was invited by Colonel Roosevelt to be White House guest for a few days, but following shortly after the Booker Washington dinner, which caused such a rumpus, 1t could not be confirmed, and so far as known the invitation was with drawn.

CHICAGO FACING
 A COAL FAMINE

Chicago, October 26.-Chicago Is facing serious coal famine. according to opin- ions of coal operators. The supply com ing daily is said to be about equal to the demand.' The shortage of cars by the railroads is held to be responsible for the demand.
 The Indiana fields were practically idle yesterday, though the demand for coal is such that the mines could all be worked to their full capacity.
 Indiana coal operators are coming here tomorrow for a conference with rail- road officials, to see If there Is a way of relieving the situation. Many of the mines in Illinois are not working to their full capacity because there is not a sufficient supply of cars to haul the coal to the markets. On account of the strike in the Illinois coal fields all sum- mer which kept the supply down to the actual demand, buyers were unable to tom in former years.
 "The situation is nothing short of alarming" said T. J. O'Gara, head of one of the largest producing concerns in Illinois last night. we could turn out more coal If we had the cars and other companies are In the same fix I don't believe there is a weeks supply of coal on hand In Chicago and what will happen if there is sudden cold snap is more than I can tell.'

tranquility and business peace, and is welt, which would unsettle values, dis turb business and renew the panic from which the country suffered during his administration. That is the fact, the truth Is the colonel such a stranger to truth that he does not know 1t when he meets it.
 The colonel also tells us that the big Roosevelt doctrine is, Thou shalt not steal and that he Is waging decent campaign for decency's sake, yet in the charge that every other citizen of the state knows Is unfounded--that John A. Dix was part and parcel of the wall pa per trust. which was righteously dis solved by the court. ts'tp
 MT. Dix asks for an apology from his detractor. Will he get 1t? No. The colonel will continue to steal away from the good name of MT. Dix. He will con tinue to tell you not to steal. This big Roosevelt doctrine resolves itself into this: Don't do as I do, but do as I tell you. The king can do no wrong Is this waging a decent campaign for de- cency?
 Let me commend to Mir. Roosevelt s serious consideration a single thought Thou shalt not steal was only one com mand that was thundered from the mount There was another just as plain, Just as clear, just as emphatic. which was this, Thou shalt not bear false wit ness against thy neighbour"

Washington. october 26.-(Special)-In final effort to bring into line the negro voters in Indiana, eOhio and New York, President Taft has decided to appoint a negro, William H. Lewis of Boston, as one of the assistant attorneys general of the department of justice. There are five such places, each paying s5ooo annually.
 Reports from the three states are to the effect that this year the negro voter is not as enthusiastically in line for the ticket as has been the case heretofore.
 There have been numerous negro meet ings in the several states, as well as in the District of Columbia, in which resolu- tions were drawn against the administra- tion. Commencing with the attitude Of the republican national convention in 1908 the negro has received practically noth- ing from the republican party and espe- cially among the republicans of the south. 1t has been heralded that the republican party was to be made white mans party

 When the Hardwood, attracted by flag of distress flying from the stump of the mainmast, took the crippled vessel In tow, Captain Falconer ex- plained, Walls was found on the floor of the cabin, raving and frothing from the mouth from the effects of drinking seawater. He was revived, but re- fused to leave the disabled vessel. Part of the crew of the Hardwood was as- signed to the Holliswood. a division H. .t-e -f<- food and water and the voyage toward Galveston begun.
