The deal for the Madison Lead

still there existed little doubt that
be would be named by his party
for a second term.
Not so o.day, however. The
events of a week have put O differ
ent face on the situation, Former
President Roosevelt, who stood
sponsor for Mr.. Taft in 1908, back
ing him up with the Federal ma
chine and nominating him, is out
in a scratching article criticislng
Mr.. Tait's trust position and pol.
icy. There are those who be-
lieve Mr.. Roosevelt would like Il
third term, and that he has made
this move to place himself in the
running. But whatever its sig.
nifcauce, it does not stop there.
The menace against Mr.. Taft looms
large in his own State.
The Garfield Republican Club OF
the Nineteenth Ohio district held
its annual banquet at Toledo last
Monday night. Many friends Of
Mr.. Taft were at the banquet, and
we are told that they were dun.
founded in the course Of a speech
by Judge X. NJ. Wauamaker of
Akron, who bitterly assaulted Mr..
Taft and practically the whole pol.
icy of his administration. James
A. Garfield Secretary of the In.
terror under Mr.. Roosevelt, was
another of the speakers, and his
speech is also said to have been
along aggressive progressive lines,
No booms were opened for any
particular candidate" says a spe-
cal account OF the banquet, but
it could be easily seen that Roose.
welt or La Toilette could capture
the Ohio progressives,"
So it would seem that the
chances of Mr.. Taft securing the
delegation and instruction of his
own State are in the balance. II
begins to look after all as if the
Federal machinery will be taxed to
its uttermost to fix the National
Republican Convention for Mr.
Taft. His position is not as sure
as it looked q short time back.

MANsLAUGHTER IN FOURTH
DEGREE-FINE OF $500

The case of Frank Byington, held
for murder in the second degree for
the killing OF John Cartee on Sep
TENDER LIST, was called for trial last
Monday, the jury was selected and
taking of evidence was begun ut
eleven O'Clock Tuesday.
The State introduced only three
witnesses-Fr Fred Archambeau, lobe
HOss and q. b. Perkins. The test
imony tended to prove that John
Cartee and Bob Kirkpatrick went
into Byington's saloon at Elvins
about = O'Clock on the evening of
September LIST, and after taking Il
few drinks began to roughly joke
each other. This eliminated In a
fight between them, and as they
fought they retired to back room
of the saloon, and Byington on be-
ing called in found them in the back
room, which was quite, dark. Be
fore going into the back room By
ington got his revolver. After pull.
ing Cartee from off of Kirkpatrick
Cartee made at Byington, whereup'
on Byington struck him over the
head with his gun, and In the mix
mp shot Cagtee, from the wound OF
which shot Cartee died shortly
thereafter.
The defendant by his witnesses
showed Cartee to be "A man of bad
reputation and IA dangerous fighter
that he had made some desperate
threats against Byingt0n, though
these threats were not communi
Gated to Byington. The defendant
knew Cartee to be dangerous man
and when he went into the bach
room he was afraid Cartee would at
tack him with a long-bladed knit,
which defendant had a short Will,
before seen in Cartee's hand. Tha
when Cartee made rush at Bying
ton, he was attempting to draw thu
knife, and Byington shot and killed
him to save his own life.
The taking of evidence and argu

Pennington, Mo-,
November 20, 1911. J

The continuous driving through
the grounds of State Hospital No.
1, and making this IA public high
way, is becoming very irksome to
us here, RS well as dangerous to
around the buildings, therefore
the Board has ordered me to see
that this place Is not used as a
thoroughfare.
No heavy wagons on our roads
will be allowed to go through our
premises. We will be glad at all
times for everybody with car
riages, buggies and automobiles
who will use judgment and drive
slowly, to visit oar institution,
but II cannot he used as n thor
Oughfare; and | hope that you
will see the justice in this deci-
sion and avoid any hard feelings,
for If it continues You will find
the south gate locked, which |
very much dislike to do, and
would rather for you to take this
advice, without resorting to more
drastic measures, and II would
he very unpleasant for us to have
to lock the gate, but at the same
time, the heavy wagons driving
through keeps our gates, etc, out
of fix, and positively must be
stopped.

getting ready to euter the
list for the Republican nom
inatiou for a third term. That is
the way Norman +. Mack, Chair.
man of the National Democratic
Committee, interprets Mr.. RoOse-
welt s recent editorial in The out.
look entitled THE Trust, the Peo-
pie and the Square Deal. In his
article Mr.. Roosevelt makes d..
rect assault upon President Taft :
trust policy, which be says means
chaos for the business interests Of
the country He takes issue with
MIR. Taft that the Sherman anti
trust law needs no amending, and
favors Federal supervision and
control of the trusts, instead OF
making war on them through the
courts. In the suit which the gov
eminent recently instituted against
the Steel Trust, one of the grounds
set forth by the government was
is acquisition and absorption Of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pgny, which said that Mr., RoOse.
welt in permitting this to he done
had been misled by false represen.
tatlOns on the part of representa-
tves of the Steel Corporation. Mr..
Roosevelt resents this statement,
and says that he was not mlsIed;
that the representatives OF the
Steel Corporation told him the
truth as to what the effect of the
action at that time would be, and
any statement to the contrary was
not in accol dance with the truth.
He also contends that the taking
over OF the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company by the Steel Trust
did not create Il monopoly.
The position at this time empha-
sized by Mr.. Roosevelt is not new;
it is in accord with former expires
sions and his well known views of
Federal Capitalization, government
control and regulation. 1t is not
his reiteration of these views that
is significant but the time chosen
TO revive them and the direct as.
sault he makes on the policy of the
present administration, when MIR.
Taft is seeking the nomination for
"A second term. Is it for the pur.
pose OF further weakening Mr..
Taft's already discredited admins.
tration and preventing his nomlna-
toni If so, in whose interest-his
own or MIR. LaFollett's? If Mr..
Roosevelt, however, imagines that
there is a call for him in the present
political unrest aud uncertainty, he
is mistaken. The crest upon which
he once rode was only a wave and
he is in the trough of the political
sea now. 4 more democratic spirit
rides the crest.

REV. C. E. HICKoK WILL NOT
LEAVE HARRINGTON

/ Rev {. +. Hickok, pastor Of the
Presbyterian Church, has received
number of fattering calls from
churches at other places, and was
rendered the secretaryship OF the
educational committee or board re-
Gently appointed by the Synod to
raise 100000 to improve and en-
large the educational institutions OF
the State under the charge Of the
Presbyterian Church. The churches
at BoOnville and Hannibal, two
strong congregations, are among
those which have rendered him calls.
For some weeks he has been con-
sidering these offers, not with a
view Of lettering his salary, but
to satisfy his own mind as to wheth-
er they might afford him larger
and wider field of usefulness in
church work. For nine years he
has been pastor of the Pennington
Church, which has grown and pros
pered, and without any request or
intimation on his part his salary
had twice been increased; and Il
short time ago his congregation
again voluntarily increased his sal
AIRY to 81 900 IA year. This is not as
large AS the salaries offered by the
churches which rendered him calls,
nor as that of the secretaryship Of
the Synod's educational committee;
but he was as 10th to give up his
charge here as his congregation was
to anxious to have him remain,
though they placed no obstacle in
the way of his making Il change II
/ he thought it were well to do SO, as
the folio wing resolutions show:
Whereas, within the past few
weeks there have been presented to
our pastor, &. f.. Hickok, Overtures
from number of churches asking
him to visit them with view to
considering IA call to become their
pastor; and
Whereas, the members of the
church and congregation Of the
Pennington Presbyterian Church
feel and know that 1t would be a dis
tinct loss to our church and to this
community, for us to be deprived of
his services as pastor;
Therefore, BE II resolved, by the
members of the Pennington Presby-
terrain Church, and congregation
"First-That we express to our
pastor our love and esteem for him,
and our appreciation OF his work,
| and that we assure him of our de-
! sire that he continue his labors
| here.
"Second-That we pledge to him
our support and cooperation IN his
efforts to carry on the work OF our
church, and that we individually
agree to strive with greater zeal to
work with him in doing the work of
our Master"
/ After careful consideration and
/ viewing the work to be done in this
section of the State and the good
/ feeling existing for him in the pres
bytery with which he is associated,
no less than the warm friendships
he has formed here among the peO-
pie of all demonstrations as well as
his own, he has decided that his du-
ty lies here, and So announced to
his congregation last Sunday. The
announcement was gratifying to
them as well as to our people gem
orally, among whom he is deserved
ly popular.

position and activity of the insur.
gents IN his party. 1t was firmly
believed that the prestige of his ad.
ininistratiou, the influence of the
great army of Federal ofliceholders
throughout every State who hold
by his grace. and the vast public
patronage at his disposal, would
control the National Republican
Convention. But an insinuating
doubt is beginning to take the
place of assuredness-it may al
most be called a menace to Mr..
Taft's nomination-in the light of
the weeks events.
The Presidents spectacular swing
around the huge 13. 1000. mile circle
resulted in little encouragement to
his inconsistent policy of preach
ing in one direction and acting in
another, and less enthusiasm than
the Chief Executive of great
country with a winning personality
might reasonably be expected to
create. The conference of insur-
gents at Chicago few weeks ago,
held during the Presidents jaunt,
enthusiastically Endorsed Senator
La Toilette for the Republican
nomination, and it was loudly ac-
claimed that Mr.. Taft could not be
elected if he were nominated; but

rected G. A. Severance, the government's
special counsel in the case. to prepare this
appeal on file as quickly as possible.
Although the government has a year In
which to perfect its action to the hlghes,

to hurry the suit.
Opinions have been expressed IN some
quarters that the governments appeal
would be only routine matter to have
the questions involved decided by the
highest court. At the Department OF
Justice, however, It Is said the government
is appealing the case in the hope Of win
ming it., Mr.. Severance has reported TO the
attorney general that he believes the gov
eminent has a good chance.
1t has been suggested to the department
that the outcome of the Hartman merger
suit might have some bearing on the great
holding company which, it has been re-
ported, is to be organized for the New
York Central lines Attorney General
Wickersham, however. said the proposed
New York Central company had not been
called to his attention and would express
no opinion.
