Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1910-07-08

Charles N. Haskell, governor of the
state, is one of those strenuous per-
sons who keeps in the limelight, and
the newspaper men in Oklahoma con-
slider it a poor day when the chief
executive doesn't do something to
make story.
Oklahoma hadn't shed it's territorial
garb very long before its legislature
passed that bank deposit guaranty
law. That certainly attracted some
attention, and it got much more pub
1icity when the Democrats in conven-
ton at Denver made it the basis of
one of the party's platform planks.
Next came the muss that resulted
in Haskells retirement as treasurer
of the campaign committee Then
came the land fraud charges, which
have never been thoroughly threshed
out
Now it is fight over the state
capital, and Governor Haskell may be
found in the thick Of the battle. The
capital has been located in Guthrie
since Oklahoma became a state, but
Oklahoma City has wanted the honor
and the perquisites and recently when
the matter was left to vote of the
people Guthrie lost The matter was
carried to the courts and injunctions,
nandamuses and such things were in
the air.
AS soon as he heard the result of
the vote Governor Haskell prepared to-
move to Oklahoma City. He moved
in an automobile and established his
Office in hotel. The secretary of
state went with him, but didn't take.
the seal of the commonwealth. In a
wild midnight auto ride an official
sped to Guthrie, captured the seal and
took it to Oklahoma City The as
sistant secretary of state got a dupli-
cate seal and has been doing business
in Guthrie
Haskell got into trouble with deputy
United States marshals, and there
was talk of contempt of court pro-
ceedings against the governor. A
daughter of the governor was stoned
as she was about to board a train for
Oklahoma City in Guthrie This,
| brought out talk of militia to maintain
order
Altogether it has been lively bat
tie and has kept Haskell and Okla
homa in the public eye.

CITY MAN AS A "coME ON"

mother as first lady Of the land"
1t was at dinner to the Prince and
Princess Fushimi, japanese royal visi-
tors, that Miss Taft first entered the
role of White House hostess. The
charming grace with which the presi-
dents daughter conducted the func-
ton caused much favorable comment
among the elect in the capitals social
circles. Her appearance may be often
fathers incumbency, according to
those we'll informed of official and So
cial life in the capital
At the Fushimi dinner Miss Taft
not only wore her first grown-up eve
ming gown, but her first full length
dress, and carried herself with the
grace and dignity of one accustomed
to the position of honor in such for
NAL and trying functions.
Her gown of white was becomingly
decollete and made en- train. Her hair
was dressed in keeping with the dig
nifty of her gown, and there was moth
ing of the college girl ON vacation to
identify her, had her schoolmates of
Bryn Mawr surprised her while she
was acting as mistress of the White
House and first lady of the land"
1t is not intended that Miss Taft
shall abandon her course at Bryn
Mawr but she is said to have realized
with all the heavy White House social

He wanted no more limelight. He
was satisfied with the money he had
made and he wanted to get out OF
the public eye.
But your old Uncle Sam had other
ideas concerning Mr.. Patten Wheth-
er merited or unmerited, just or I'M
Just, there is no intention OF saying
in this brief sketch, but the fact re-
mains that Mr.. Patten was indicted IN
New York on charges of conspiracy in
restrain of trade under the Sherman
antitrust act. It was alleged that
the accused men formed pool TO
arbitrarily fix the price of cotton.
Mr. Patten, as did the others, We
hemently denied the charge. 1T will
be shown" said he, that | had moth
ing whatever to do with this alleged
cotton pool. I am willing to let the
courts decide" Then Mr.. Patten
gave $4,000 bail and retired to await
developments.
It was a series of successful opera
tons in oats and corn on the Chicago
board of trade which first brought
fortune to Mr.. Patten. For years he
was unlucky in wheat, the market
getting away from him just as he was
about to seize his profits.
In April, 1909, however, he put
through the most successful wheat
corner Chicago ever has known and
won the title Of Wheat King" He
forced the price of May wheat to $1.34
and unloaded with a profit estimated
at more than $5,000,000. At the head
of the bear clique, opposed to Patten
in this deal, was J. Ogden Armour,
said to have lost 100000.
In September, 1909, Patten by
daring trading brought himself out OF
a bad hole in September wheat and
added to his fortune. Again Armour
was heavy loser.
Early in March of the present year
Patten decided the 1910 wheat crop
was going to be a failure and began
to buy heavily for delivery not later
than September He told close friends
it would be his last deal in wheat. To
ward the end of May, on the eve OF
Patterns retirement from the board OF
Trade, Armour got his revenge when
Patten was forced to unload at loss
of $2,O0O,0O0.
Patterns heavy speculations in cot
ton led him last March to take
pleasure" trip to England to look over
the situation. In spirit OF bravado
he decided to visit Manchester, the
English cotton spinning center, and
ventured on the floor of the cotton eX-
change.
Patten did not remain long after the
brokers recognized him. He was
"booed" off the floor and out of the
building by two score of brokers who
had lost heavily on account OF his
manipulations Outside the crowd
hooted him as "That Yankee" and he
was forced to take refuge in an office
building to escape violence.

cabinet topsy-turvy. From time to time
there have come rumors that certain
members of the cabinet were going to
get out Few members of a presi-
dents cabinet turn over their port
ident asks for them.
The latest rumor concerned Philan-
der Knox, secretary of state, which is
the ranking position in the cabinet.
There was some basis for this in that
certain Republicans in Pennsylvania
wanted Mr.. Knox as their candidate
for governor When the president
heard of this plan he put his foot
down on it in hurry. 1t was barely
announced that the Republicans Of
Pennsylvania wanted to take Mr.
Knox away from the Taft administra-
ton and put him in charge of the
states affairs at Harrisburg, when the
secretary of state issued statement,
which President Taft requested him
to make, saying he would not leave
the cabinet. The statement followed
a long conference between the presi-
dent and his secretary of state in
which Taft urged Mr.. Knox to remain
at the head of the state department,
and in that connection the president
made some very fattering statements
with regard to the service that Knox
is rendering to his country in the
management of it's foreign affairs.
The president without reservation
assured Knox of his unqualified sup
port and pointed out to him that his
success so far has been so great in
the matter of the court of arbitral
Justice and all the other policies bear
ing Knoxs immediate primature that
he is bound to rank among the great
est of American secretaries of state if
he will continue in Office at least for
the remainder of his term, ~.

country to have a judicial mind" not excelled
in the United States, has hard work at times to
keep from giving vent to his humorous concep-
ton of things they appear in court. Such
proceeding would be dubbed undignihed, and so
Judge White manages to control his flow of wit
when in court but when the tribunal is not in
session he gives his mood full play.
Judge oliver Wendell Holmes, of one of
the most distinguished American scholars and
one of it's rarest humorists, has great deal OF
the fun of his father in him, but sefconfessedly
he tries to hold its expression in check on many
occasions because it might be said that ne was
trying to make Oliver Wendell Holmes the
second appear Oliver Wendell Holmes the
first, and this the present justice modesty holos'
to be Impossible.
Not long ago lawyer went to the residence
of one of the associate justices of the Supreme
court. a married and one who the lawyer
thought was the staidest of the sta1d Inc WIS
itor had gone to the justice to get some ad-
vice on behalf of a person who he know was a
family friend of the one of whom he was seeking
advisory help.
II seems that the mans wife had died. and
while the husband was a kindly disposed and
most excellent generally, his fatherln-aw
and mother-in-aw insisted on taking the chill
dren who had been left motherless. The Wild
over did not want to part with his children ana
neither did he want to make a hight Whlcn
would bring the children into public notice and
show that he had had a breach with his W1fes
father and mother
The lawyer who was calling on the justice
said What would you do if your father-in-laW
and motner-in-law your wifes death tried TO
get your children away from your" The answer
came quick and sharp, I'D tell them to go to the
devil"
Now it happened that the Justices wife was
sitting at his elbow and the lawyer at this strong
expression from the judicial minded one looked
with trepidaton at Mrs. Justice expecting to
see her overcome with modification at her nus
bands outbreak. The visitor was relieved ana
also somewhat surprised when Mrs. Justice said'
I'D tell them to go to the devil, too"
The household court being thus unanimous,
the lawyer went away and gave advice to his
client and the presumption is that within day
or two the fatherin-law and mother-in-aw went
to the devil
The justices of the Supreme court put on their
robes IN a room which is across the main corri-
dor of the capitol from the courtroom. In order
to reach the bench they obliged to cross the
corridor and this they do in procession the clerk
of the court leading the way like pioneer and
being followed by the chief justice and the asso-
ciate justices in order Of rank.
1t is on the stroke of twelve, noon. that this
procession takes up its way, and as 1t Is known
that noon is the hour for the court opening the

see the judges file by. Just before they appear

Memorial to Washington.

The whole country by this time must
have heard of q somewhat unique under
taking, the building Of a memorial temple
in Washington in bonor Of the Father Of
his Country. The undertaking is unique
only in the fact that q woman, Mrs.
Dimmick, is most active in urging it, that
it has the enthusiastic and active ap-
proval Of the President, of Senator Root
and Of many men distinguished in ma
tional affairs. The proposal is that it
shall be built by the school-chiIdren of
the United States, and already the con-
tributions, mostly in dimes, amount to Q
very respectable sum in dollars.
The building is to take the form of an
immense assembly hall to which the many
conventions now making Washington the
centre for their deliberation shall find free
access. The conventions now coming to
Washington must rent halls.
1t il proposed that this building shall be
20 arranged that many conventions, il de-
sired, may hold simultaneous meetings, in
smaller annexed halls, but all sufficiently
Large to accommodate large meetings.
