THE ISSUE NOT AN INDIVIDUAL


Fine feeling and n chivalric instinct
for fair play guided woodrow Wilson
in his decision to withdraw from ac-
tive campaigning while Mr.. Roosevelt
is disabled. His personal attitude was
justified by his character and training.
AS an individual he refused to take
advantage OF an opponents individual
misfortunes. Every clean and kindly
American approves. But the issue OF
this campaign is not the fortunes OF
any Individual. or the personal feel
ings Of any candidate. The questions
to be settled by the people are too
grave to be set aside by the chance
folly Of a crazy man. The theory Of
our democracy makes our leaders but
the symbols OF living principles. and
these principles must endure. regard
less Of the fate OF this or that man.
II the ideals and program of the Pro-
gressives have the vitality and sig
nincance claimed for them by their
supporters, Colonel Roosevelts con-
dition is Of small Importance beside
the larger issues.
Nothing has changed in the Pro-
gressive attitude toward the tariff and
the trusts. The menace OF the third
term, Of the iegalizing OF monopoly by
a commission. of the injustice OF the
protective tariff. Of the centralized and
personal government. is as grave now
as before. The energies OF the Pro-
gressives are still being actively bent
to establishing this ideal OF govern
ment. We agree with Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Roosevelt that "Mr. Wilson owes
1t to himself and to the American
people to continue his campaign" He
Is not his own master. He has been
chosen as the representative Of his
fellow citizens to LABOR for their
ideals. What kindness and manliness
dictate let him do. but let him remem-
Der that the struggle is to relieve
thousands of toilers from conditions
worse than death. and that the indi-
vidual man must be subordinated to
the larger good.

Washington. D. c.. Dec. 18.-Former
Senator Foraker today produced a
statement before the senate campaign
expenditures investigating committee
prepared by Gilchrist Stewart. pur-
porting to be based on a description
by ". w Winfield of how Winfield
and Charles Stump took the Arch
bold letters" from the Standard Oil
offices and sold them to a representa-
tive Of William r. Hearst.
"Mr. Hearst said yesterday that he
did not know how the letters were

that You might tell to the marines, but
TO no one else.

certificates of deposit for $4,000 from
the Standard Oil company to him, re-
iterated that the money was for serv-
ices as attorney in Ohio litigation. Sen.
ator Foraker repeated his previous
statements that the Standard Oil
employment" had nothing to do with
legislation in congress. He charged
that Mr. Hearst in later producing the
Archbold letter to Senator Foraker
about defeating the so-called Jones
corporation bill, garbled his state
ment.
ANY letter Mr.. Archbold has writ
ten me since the Standard Oil litiga
ton in Ohio has been just as anyone
might do and as thousands have done

Mr.. Untermyer said he referred to

Fire broke out shortly after :
O'Clock this afternoon in the two
story building On Lincoln avenue oc-
cupied by the Santa Fe club and own
ed by Dr. David Knapp and at 3
o'clock much damage had been done.
, 1t is believed, however, that the blaze
is under control and that the adjoin-
ing buildings will escape.
The fire is supposed to have started
from the furnace and is said to have
been discovered by Mr.. Ward, who at
once sent in an alarm. The fire gong
rang for few minutes, arousing the
entire city. Hundreds turned out to
see the blaze, and before the fire de-
bartment arrived Mr.. Ward had the
garden hose stream turned on the
chimney and roof where the smoke
was the thickest,
Frank Owen and the volunteers
then arrived, in the electric truck and
a big stream was soon shooting hun
dreds OF gallons OF water into the
flaming structure.
Members Of the club and others not
members lost no time in starting
work of rescue a wild scene en-
sued. Chairs, tables, books and book
cases, curtains, bric-a-brac, and rugs
were dragged out of the supposedly
doomed building and placed in the
street
Physicians, lawyers, bankers and
merchants, with their clerks and
friends, set to work. In few minutes
the handsomely furnished club rooms
were bare. One room, alone was un-
touched. Shall we take out these
refreshments, one of the rescuers
asked. A well known physician stood
there aud his friends said 'on guard"
The physician replied, "Do not touch
them" Even in the excitement of the
confederation, laughter followed this
sally.
The smoke became denser and
denser The whole roof seemed to be
on the verge of breaking out into
flames. Shouts from the bystanders
to Peter Griffin and other firemen
who stood on the roof graphing with
the big stream warned them that the
blaze seemed to have its center near
the chimney. The hose was accord
ingly turned in that direction. AS the
stream shot southwark, there was a
cry from women and children who
had gathered on the porch of the
house adjoining the club. They had

last seen alive about dusk yesterday.
Neighbors heard no noise at the house
last night and no one called there this
morning until the son, who came on
morning train, from Moberly with
Christmas packages. went to the
house at 10 O'Clock. The police are
without 4 clue.
The women had no money and were
known to be dependent upon neigh
bors and relatives. A pocketbook con
tanning small sum of money was
found on the kitchen floor.
From the position of the bodies, the
police believe the murderer probably
went to the kitchen door and when
Mrs. Moore opened it. struck her
down, then attacked the elder woman
as she slept.
