Contempt If He Enters state-Sev.
eraI Editors Held.
Chicago, Dec. Ii. - At the formal
opening of the Progressive partys ma,
.ional conference here Colonel Roose-
velt repeated and emphasized his critt-
cism of the act of the supreme court
of Idaho in ruling Progressive electors
from the ballot in the November cleo
ton.
Not to criticise the decision, for
which several Boise editors, who quot
ed the colonel's original structures,
have been. cited for contempt, would
have been cowardly, the colonel as
serted. Roosevelt himself may be cit
ed for contempt if he enters Idaho.
The Boise Capital News" said Col
onel Roosevelt, was the only paper
that had the courage to critcise the
decision. l hold that it wouN have
been cowardly not to have criticised
such an outrageous decree. The Sc
verest criticism the papers contained,
however, twas in a telegram from me.
Il did not make it half strong
enough; it was much worse than the
ordinary bad decision. | hold that
the decision was outrageous and it was
the duty of every honest citizen to
protest against it and denounce it In
the strongest terms.
Now the court has cited Publisher
Sheridan and other editors for con-
tempt. The court has it within it's
power. by inflicting a sufficiently
heavy fine, to ruin the only paper In
Idaho with the strength to hold out
against it.
Il advocate that the Progressive
party pay any fine that may be inflict-
ed, and that we send the best lawyers
obtainable to Idaho to fight the case
and to give it the widest publicity.
The action of the Idaho court is not
only against the people of Idaho, but
against the whole citizenship of the
United States, and the people should
use every effort to combat the out.
rage
1T is to prevent just such outra-
geous DEGREES that the Progressive
party advocates the recall of judicial
decisions"
Roosevelt finished his address amid
tumultuous cheers, in the midst Of
which arose the cry: Lets hear from

Prisoner in Car for ID Days.

A dispatch from Charlotte, N. c.,
says:
Imprisoned fourteen days with
out food or water in a freight car, in
which he beat his way from Cincin-
natl to Charlotte, George Johnson is
in a pitiable condition here to-day.
He was found in the car semi-con-
scious and with blood oozing from
every pore in his body. His condi-
ton has excited the interest of medi-
cal experts, and every effort is being
made to revive the Pickering spark
of life.
johnson, who is a native of the
village of Mount Holly, near here,
left several years ago to seek a home
in the West. Failing in everything
he undertook, he decided to make his
way back home and concealed him
self in car of loose corn consigned
to Charlotte. The car was locked
and sealed and his presence was not
discovered until the car was opened

it was pulled out of Cincinnati"

f. Spencer Black burn, formerly Con-

that institution can admit them, but

regrettable as the fact is, veterans
who are disabled and have no one
to care for them, have no place to go

They Will Take About Six Weeks in
Presenting Their Defense-One
of the Largest Cases Ever Tried i'm
This Country.
A Chicago dispatch under date of
Tuesday says:
United States District Judge Geo.
A. Carpenter to-day refused to take
from the jury the case of the ten
packers, charged with criminal viola
ton of the Sherman law and dis
charge the defendants. The effect
of the ruling is that the jury will
decide whether the defendants are
guilty or innocent.
The arguments of defendants
counsel involve a dissection of the
evidence as a basis,'' said Judge Car
penter. In my view this is not sound
in charge of conspiracy depending
upon circumstanstial evidence.
Taken apart, any complicated
machine is harmless and useful only
as junk. Assemble the parts and
you have a powerful device to ac-
complish the design of it's makers.
" 1T is absurd to suppose that the
directing minds of the guiding hands
of these enormous businesses did not
know what was being done
THE court also overruled the mo-
ton of the defense to strike from
the record all evidence bearing On
matters prior to the statutory period
covered by the Indictment and the
motion of the defense to exclude
from the case three memoranda of
margins introduced several weeks
ago by the Government for the pur-
pose of connecting J. Ogden Armour
and Thomas ]. Connors, two of the
defendants, with personal participa-
ton in the exchange of business in
formation in restraint of trade.
The packers, it is expected, will
begin their defense tomorrow and
may take six weeks in presenting
their case"

Editor of The Caucasian:--Piease

for n change In our National COM
m!tteeman.
III Because we need . hero:
man who will stand up for the right
and crush down the wrong and put
his shoulder to the wheel and make
Republican progress hum in North
Carolina. With the kindest OF feel
ings TO our present committeeman IL
seems he does not fit the place or
the place does not At him. and IL
man does not ft the place the more
you try TO make him 1T the worse
he gets out of fit. am strong al
yoeate to be loyal TO our leaders. but
there is a vast difference between
leader and a boss and a man cannot
stand on top of the fence and lead
any other man 10 a better place he
must get on one side or the other:
a man cannot serve two masters; ii
does harm some time TO make
changes.
(2l Then again il is necessary In
order to get anywhere, and then 1t
is necessary TO know which way he
is going when you place the reins
in his hands. The only way TO OBJ
tain a satisfactory victory is through
leadership. The day is passed in our
State to pop the lash and say, Get
up Jack" or Get up Jim"
Ii reminds me of some few days
back, while out riding, | asked q
young lad where he was going, and
his reply was, he had been where he
was gwine.
So the thought is. | am afraid our
Committeeman has done been where
he is gwine And we have had man
in North Carolina who has the abil-
ity as a leader, and that man is the
Hon. Marion Butler. He would not
only be an honor to our party as
leader, but would be an honor to the
rank and file of the Republican party
in the State and, | believe, rank and
file of the Republican party in North
Carolina would stand by this asser-
ton and would stand by him and
hold up his hands in all of his efforts
for a Republican victory in North
Carolina, because when he started out
in life he meant to go somewhere,
and he is just started. and you can
