REID A CANDIDATE.

II appears that Embassador White
law Reid is a candidate for enrolment
in the Ananias Club, and we may ex-
pect the notice of that enrolment at
anv time ambassador Reid was on
his voyage from New York to London
to resume his duties in charge of the
American Embassy to Great Britain,
when Col Roosevelt threw his hat into
the ring and announced that he would
quietly wait the action Of the Chicago
National Convention, and If the Re-
publican delegates there assembled
thought that he was the only man who
could save his country and his party at
the present time, he was willing to
smash all precedents. eat everything
that he had said about being candi-
date, and accept the nomination for
the Presidency,
When this announcement came TO the
knowledge of ambassador Reid, he IN
cautiously expressed great surprise at
it, and was inclined to think that there
was some mistake about the report of
Roosevelt s decision TO accept the nomI-
nation. 81 had been busy telling every
one there was not the slightest chance
for Mr.. Roosevelt running again, based
on what he had repeatedly told me and
the members Of my family said Mr..
Reid, "wben, to my surprise, the first
thing lizard after we had got out to

is entirely indifferent TO his own for
tunes in this matter, having at heart
only the welfare Of the people and con
senting with great pain to sacrifice
his personal interests on tho popular
altar in case the people decide that he
is the one and only man who can save
them in this tremendous crisis. To those
who would say that the crisis is only
personal TO Roosevelt and in no way
affects the country at large. the reply
is that a great question like this should
not be switched off INTO personal chan
nels, but should he decided on high
moral and ethical principles. To be
sure. Col, Roosevelt said ''his hat WAS
in the ring. indicating a frivolity OF
mind which must have been IA mere re-
grcttable slip when we consuler the
stern rebuke which he gave to Mr., Nc
kinley for his expression that he did
not wish to change the rules % the

The idea OF considering the political
campaign 4 game was so shocking TO

that he could hardly refrain from put
ting up his dukes and .iabbing the
ribald Jester on his smeller. 1t makes
all the difference in the world who 1T
is that says the thing, or docs tine
thing, TO Col Roosevelt. Nothing that
he himself can do is wrong; nothing
that any of his opponents can do is
right; and there you are. You have the
standard of fitness, of ethics, of pro-
priety, of political consistency, and Of
popular freedom all incarnated IN one
energetic. explosive body, and the
sooner the people recognize this coucen-
tration Of everything in one. the sooner
they will be able to comprehend the full
significance of the Roosevelt iutru-
sion into this campaign

Hillsyille, Va. Mar. 23.-No
further capture had been reported
early today by the posses which
are endeavoriEs to round up the
Allen clansmen.
The arrest of Sidna Edwards
yesterday left four of the wanted
men still at large.
The massing of n hundred or
more searchers about the hills to
the south of here indicates that
the officers believe that the out
laws still are in this vicinity.
Sidna Edwards insists that he
has not seen his uncle or cousins
since the day of the shooting.
1t is learned that the report
that the Allen gang had sent
message to the governor of Vir-
ginia offering to surrender if they
were allowed to enter a plea of
guilty to murder in the second
degree proved absolutely untrue.
No communication from them has
been received by the governor.

The news that both Mr.. Currie and

his holdings here and give practically
his entire attention to his enterprise.
1t was feared for some time that
the Curries intended to make New

Mr.. Currie in announcing his plans at
this time, assures the continued resi-

Grand Junction. Mr. Currie's thor

Arthur S Currie announced today
that he had completed arrangements
by which he will have a large and
complete canning factory ready for

an offer made Mr.. Currie a few

president of the Fruit Belt. by which

brick building on the corner of Fifth

Arrangements were also made by
which electric power and steam for
cooking could be used from the big
plant of the electric company, ena-
bling Mr.. Currie to put in individual
motors for all his machinery and
making other improvements in his
equipment.
Mr. Currie today ordered com

his plant which he will use in addi-

Mr.. Currie's agents will be in the
field Monday signing up contracts
with the growers. His contracts
will be very liberal. the prices paid
being in excess of that paid by many
concerns in the immediate territory.
One clause in particular which will
be advantageous to the grower is
that the prices paid for products will
be the same at an interurban station
as at the cannery. Mr.. Currie paying

be a considerable saving to growers
on the interurban railway, saving
them the freight charges to the
