Just as he was being taken from
the wheel chair at the hospital door
the Colonel bade good bye to his two
nurses.
! Night Nurse Margaret Fitzgerald
was the first to shake his hand and to
receive the famous Roosevelt smile,
She was followed by Day Nurse
Blanche Wolter.
The last thing that Colonel and
Mrs. Roosevelt did was to shake hands
with and thank Mother Mary Raphael,
the mother superior in charge of the
hospital. The farewell was brief out
affecting. Into the eyes of Mrs. Roose-
welt a tear came while the eyes of
the mother superior were suffuscd and
she quickly turned her head, and
then hurried into the building.
To avoid crowd at the station,
Colonel Roosevelt boarded the train
in the railroad yard at Twelfth street
half mile away. The train was
then backed into the terminal shed
where the Colonel's baggage was re-
ceived.
In the party that entered Colonel

Long before time to leave the hos

dressed. Over his street clothes he
wore the heavy army overcoat he had
on the evening he was shot. The hole
in the right breast was not disting-
Unstable at any great distance.
The colonel walked from his room
to the wheel chair in the corridor. He
was accompanied by DR.. Murphy and
Mrs Roosevelt. On his way through
the hospital, the various rooms had
their doors open and patients called a
greeting to him and wished him a
safe journey. Outside there was a.
large crowd of spectators who also
shouted greetings. At the door he
abandoned the chair, and on the arm
of DR.. Lambert, took the few steps to

ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH
ne MADE IT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING SHOT

Theodore RooseveIt's conception of
the progressive party's principles
never stood out in the clear light as it
did in the speech that he delivered
just after he had been shot and was
stiH, perhaps, standing in the shadow
of death.
Friends" he began" "a shall have
to ask you to be as quiet as possible.
do not know whether you fully un-
derstand that have just been shot,
but it takes more than that to kill a
bull moose.
"But fortunately had my manu-.
script (hoIding up the manuscript,
showing the audience where the bull.
let had gone through), so you see !
was going to make long speech. And,
friends, the hole in It is where the bul.
let went through, and it probably saw
ed the bullet from going into my
heart.
"The bullet is in me now, SO that !
cannot make very long speech. But
! will try my best.
"And row, friends, want to take
advantage OF this incident to say as
solemn a word Of warning as know
how to my feltow-Americans.
"First Of all, want to say this
about myself. have altogether too
many important things to think Of to
pay any heed or feel any concern over
my own death.
"Now, I would not speak to you in
sincerely within five minutes OF being
shot. ! am telling you the literal truth
when I say that my concern is for
many other things. It is not In the
least for my ewn life.

FLOOR OF THE UNITED STATES
SENATE

! Washington, ID. c., Oct. 21.--Georg,
w. Perkins, of NV York, testified
! before the Clapp committee today
that his total contributions to Colonel
Roosevelt's pre-convention campaign
were $123,000. The largest item was
$4,000 to the Washington offices.
Thomas Fortune Ryan was the first
witness today before the senate cam
pa.gn contributions committee. 9th
ers scheduled to testify were George

A. Campbell, Charles E. Droworth,

H. B. Nehbitt, and Robert Hight, the
latter seven called in connection with
the Flinn-Penrose political controver-
sy in Pennsylvania.
Mr. Ryan first told the committee
that he shouldered s350O00 of the
debts of the Democratic national COM
mittee in 1904.
EARLY in the campaign he said,
II gave $4,000 to the fund, although
was opposed to the nomination of
Judge Parker. | gave probably $780,
900 in smaller contributions. When
the end of the campaign was drawing
near and it was quite apparent that
Mr. Parker could not be elected, some
of my friends came to me and told
me the campaign would collapse nm
less the committee received financial
assistance. l finally agreed in order
to pay the party workers and pre-
serve the integrity of the party, to
furnish $350,000. This made total of
$450,000 | gave throughout the cam
paign. This was a personal contribu-
tion and did not represent any one ex-
cept myself. did not give the money
to elect Parker. ! merely wanted to
preserve the democratic organization.
In reply to questions concerning the
pre-cOnvention campaign of 1912, Mr.
Ryan said he had contributed between
$4,000 and $4,000 to Governor VIII
sons campaign and more than 100000
to Representative Underwoods.

country and the results OF the reduction 1t is al
most a Democratic dogma, based partly upon ignor-
ance, and partly upon political interest, that the
Government service is tainted throughout with in
competence and selfnterest and that graft is prev
alent.
If the Government service really is corrupt and
incompetent, then the Democrats are right. But the
Democrats are not right. No doubt there are some
incompetents and some grafters too among the two
hundred-odd thousand Government employees But
our Government service compares favorably with
that of any other nation. 1t compares favorably
with organized forces in corporate industry Its
average of devotion, efficiency, loyalty capacity, and
zeal is high. The man who does not know this need
only to look at the results.
What is the greatest agency for the material ben
eft Of the American farmer? 1t is the work in
scientific endeavor along practical lines done by men
and women Of the Department Of Agriculture.
What agency has made forestry household
word in America, and is leading lumbermen to care
for their forests for very fear of outraged public
sentiment? The Forest Service.
What agency leads the good roads movement,
which makes straight for prosperous homes? The
Government
Thus one might 60 through the long list Of the
Government activities and find that the organized
force which is doing most for the public good in
America To-Day is the work or the men ana the
women who serve Uncle Sam.
That work is only begun. 1t may cost more and
more money and the only limit to the money it
should cost is what is needed and can be wisely
spent. 1t has taken Democratic House to reduce
appropriations for practically every department in
the Government and then to pass the dollar pension

LABOR LEADER IS
SCORED BY SOCIALIST
Failure to Quote Party Platform
in Federationist Provokes
Bitter Attack.

Violently attacking Frank Morrison,
secretary of the American Federation OF
Labor, for ignoring the platform OF the
Socialist party while printing extracts
from the Progressive. Democratic and
Republican party platforms In the last
issue Of the Federationist, o. L. Studer,
a member of the Machinists Union.
thus repeats the onslaught he made four
years ago against President Gompcrs
Studer. whose charges are fairly
rabid. In part has had them published
In the Machinists' Monthly Journal. the
official organ OF the International As
ISOLATION OF Machinists. That big labor
organization is strongly socialistIc, and
its president, w. II. Johnston. OF Wash
ington, was the presiding officer OF the
recent Debs meeting.
Studer predicts that the Socialists In
the American Federation of Labor, will
soon sweep Messrs. Gompers, Morrison.
and Mitchell out of office. Other So
cialists In the Federation say. however,
that as long as Judge Wright's jail sen
tence hangs over the leaders of the
A. F. of L. the Socialists will suspend
their fight on the three officers.
The strongest part of the Studer
charges Is In the accusation that Mr..
Morrison printed the extracts from the
three leading parties platform and iG-
nored the Socialists manifesto In order
to save himself and his associates from
going to jail under Judge Wright's sen
tence.
Studer was similarly vitriolic In 1908
when President Gompers came out for
William j. Bryan.

est After Election.

Having taken recess until after the
election. the Senate committee on cam
paign contributions, headed by Senator
Clapp. will resume its activities soon
after the contest at the polls is over.
November II is the probable date OF
the next meeting.
Special interest centers in the appear
ance before the committee of William
Randolph Hearst. who will produce his
batch OF Standard Oil letters, and will
testify concerning them. Much OF the
rest OF the hearings will be taken up
with the relations between Standard OIL
and public men. With the election over
comparatively little interest is expected
to be shown In the subject OF campaign
contributions. though a number OF wit
nesses on that subject will testify.
Former Senator ]. B. Foraker, of
Ohio, who is mixed up In the scandal
concerning the Standard OIL letters,
has asked to be heard. and will be one
OF the first witnesses. Others will be

ficials of the Democratic National Com
nittee In 1904, will be called again. and
Thomas +. Ryan that he gave S450. 600
to save the party from financial ruin
that year. The committee heard these
witnesses before but they gave no defin-
lite statement as to how much Ryan
had contributed. They had only vague
rccollections OF the amount Senator
Clapp thinks II strange they could not
recall contributions that footed up, as
Mr.. Ryan says. to about half a million
dollars, and he wants to grill them
