most thinkers will concede that the

very few Socialists hold to the propro-

Socialism rs it is taught by the great

Of depair. In milwaukee, we see its

FOR PRESIDENT:
WOODROW WILSON.
A MATTER OF HISTORY.

In referring to that worthy man the
late Edward A. Irvine of Rockford the
Galena Gazette says: He was "A member
of the famous army guard who III
August, 1899, transported $50, 0O0, 600
from San Francisco to the sub treasury. T."
This shipment Of 100000 600 in gold
from San Francisco to New York by
fifty picked veterans from the railway
mail service was memorable exploit.
1t was made with great secrecy, for
two reasons first, to avoid an or
ganized attempt at robbery; and,
second, so as not to alarm the business
world with the knowledge that the
nations gold supply was dwindling.
The date, August, 1892 is significant.
That was during Mr.. Harrison's nd
ministration, three months before the
second election of Mr. Cleveland and
two years before the passage Of the
Wilson tariff bill

STRONG WORDS.

There is hardly n member of the
Ways and Means Committee that put
over the Aldrich Payne bill who should
not be doing time in one of our penal
institutions. They were all men Of
intelligence and knew perfectly well
when they passed the bill in question
that they were imposing undue bun dens
upon those least able to bear the name.
In this heated manner the Galena
Gazette Republican in politics, com
ments upon President Taft's explana-
ton Of his memorable Winona speech,
In which he referred to the present law
as the best tariff ever enacted and to
Senator Aldrich as one of the ablest
statesmen in either house of the con
gress. Democrats have 40 long realized
the injustice of unnecessary high tariff
taxation that it no longer provokes
them to wrathful utterances.

.HYOE JUROR A SUICIDE?
Fleeing Member of Panel Is
Still Missing.
Juror Who Disappeared from Kansas
City Hotel Was Said To Be Un-
der Great Mental Strain.

Kansas City, Mo. Dec 13 - Harry
w, Waldron, who disappeared from
hotel while serving as a member of the
jury that is trying DR.. B. Clarke Hyde
on a charge of numbering Colonel
Thomas H. Swope, has not been found.
Scores of officers searched in vain for
him. Not single clew, false or other
wise, regarding him was received.
Two deputy marshals stood guard all
night on the Waldron home in the
outskirts of this city. 1t was believed
he might attempt to enter the house
in the darkness Mrs. Waldron and
her five children stayed up late, hoping
he might return. A bright light was
kept burning in one of the front rooms
of the house as a welcome to the flee
ing man, but it did not attract him.
Several policemen were detailed to
watch for WaldrOn along the Missouri
river bank The hotel from which he
disappeared is near the river. Many
believe he will commit suicide if he
to be on the verge of nervous prostra-
ton, if not mentally deranged.
The court realizes that Waldron has
been working under a great strain be-
cause of worry over business ventures,
ever since he was accepted as a juror.
Judge Porterfield has done much to aid
in keeping Waldron's dairy bushes in
shape
Should Waldron return no punish
ment would be inflicted upon him be-
fore the Hyde trial is finished, Even
If the extreme penalty for his act We're
assessed he would be subject only to
a fine of $50 or a ten days Jail SEN
tence.
Senator James A. Reed, acting as
special prosecutor in the Hyde case,
is anxious to go to Washington as soon
as possible, and other cases on the
criminal docket are crowG.ng the pros
ecutor's office 1t is certain, however,
that Prosecutor Conkling will not
abandon the prosecution, regardless of
the time or the money involved.
The wife of the missing juror told
the police that one of the three horses
in the Waldron stable disappeared
Sunday night, about the time of Wal
dron's escape. A board with which
the stable door was fastened she dis
covered several feet away when she
went to the stable in the morning to
feed the horses

CHINESE PEACE FAR OFF
No encouragement for Anyone to
Hope for Early Settlement.

Pekin. bee. 13.--Although future dc
velopments may belle them, the pres
ent indications do not encourage any
great hope for settlement of China S
trouble as a result of the conference
between representatives of the rebels
and he government in the south. Tang
Shao Ni's mission to Hankow is not
expected to yield more than an ar
rangement for subsequent confer
ence at Shanghai or Nankin, which
would only prolong the negotiations
without any definite hope of harmony
The republicans are optimistic. They
appear to be stiffening and are de-
termned to keep up the rebellion until
they are beaten.

numerous searchers sought in vain to
rescue two men who had been with
the five rescued at night The two
had been driven insane by their plight
and were dashing wildly about the
workings wherein they had been en-

others.
Altogether thirty bodies have been
recovered
The maddened miners are believed
to be John Duff and John Smith The
news of their plight is being kept from
their families, who have given them
up for dead.
The searchers found seven bodies in
one room far within the mine All
these were identified one was that Of
a miner who had wife and four chill

While the search for others con-

"Oh, let me walk" he protested. but
without avail. Henderson made the
following statement of his experience:

that the issue which they We're called

how the women Of Los Angeles, as

II seems too bad that the young ath-

go into events for all they are worth
and then have the records made-when
there are a1y-good for nothing out

small place in the sporting world.
