The attempted assassination of Theo-
dore Roosevelt has shocked and enraged
the American people. Three of our
Presidents have already been killed by
half-crazed fanatics. and this last Incl
dent shows that no public man is safe
from cranks who have argued them
selves into the belief that when an
official stands lin the way" he should
be removed. What does this fearful
work mean? Two things. The cond-
ton into which our public affairs and
our public morals have been permitted
to grow by the politicians is the funda-
mental basis for the unrest now grow
ing among our people. The old hide
bound cynical "conservative" policies
and arguments of the men who control
our financial affairs have without ques-
ton embittered thousands or millions of
working people. There are dozen
ways in which oppression has been felt
the liquor industry, monopolistic con-
troll of land or of food, and legislation
poisoned by lockers" which always rob
the poor of their rights. Back of it all
is the conviction that both the present
old parties are at heart controlled by
the money power of the country. This
unrest has been famed into flame by
violent and cowardly personal abuse of
public men. The great daily papers
have attacked Mr.. Roosevelt with a
lying ferocity which could not help
breed murderous thoughts. They have
distorted his words and his theories in
the most brutal and cowardly way. The
Socialists and, we regret to say it, the
Prohibitionists and some other minor
groups have joined in this chorus of
fearful personal abuse. 1t has all
helped to load the pistol from which the
assassin's bullet was fired. In our
discussion of Presidential candidates we
tried to obtain calm and fair statements
from Socialists. With two exceptions
out of many the letters were simply
filled with the most bitter and hideous
personal abuse which we could not
print. This Incorporate and hateful
form of so-called argument is largely
responsible for the "cranks" who at
tempt to kill our public men. The po-

A GRAIN OF WHEAT.

The Government report issued We'd
nesday indicated wheat crop of 720, =
600, 900 bushels. 1t was based upon the
conditions of October l, but since then
we have had good weather in the North
west and the final result is sure to be
larger. Private experts are already
reckoning that it will break the record
which was made in 1901 with 74S, 0O0,-
900 bushels.
Winter wheat, produced in the more
southerly belt of wheat States, former
ly constituted the larger part by far of
the wheat crop, but this year it was
much below the average. States like
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan are
steadily abandoning wheat for other
things that yield more money to the
acre. California, which formerly raised
40, 600, 600 or so, 900, 600 bushels year,
now has only one-third of that amount,
giving up the land instead to fruit.
1t was the Northwest and spring
wheat that more than made up the
deficiency. North Dakota stands forth
as a phenomenon. Her yield is at
least $50, 900, 900 bushels of the very
highest grade, and it is likely that the
final reports will raise it to 100, 900, 00C
bushels. This is but little less than the
product of the entire Canadian North
west, with its area of quarters of
million square miles. 1t is the most
valuable single crop produced by any
State except the cotton crop of Texas.
The three great Northwestern spring
wheat States, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Minnesota, have, on the
Government indication. PCS, 600. OOC
bushels, which the fine weather since
may stretch to 300, 600. 600. The re-
mainder of the spring wheat comes
from Eastern Washington and the
Rocky Mountain States, all of which
show large increases.
1t is noteworthy fact that this great
wheat crop is raised on an area smaller
than any other since 1900, with two
exceptions. We are putting less
ground into wheat, but the yield per
acre is rising. New York World.

STRAUS PREDICTS A LAND

Progressive Candidate Returns
Enthusiastic from Western
Csmpsiqn

Oscar S. Straus, the Bull Moose"
candidate for Governor, returned to this
city last night from his Western trip,
and said:
81 have just come from a veritable
triumphant tour. My meetings were
packed to the doors. l saw evidence on
every side of a landslide for the Pro-
gressive party on election day. Every
where l went found the old machines
tottering and the bosses seeking cover,
just as they are in New York State
They are trying to keep up their
courage by big claims without any
real basis.
''ln every Western city where l spoke
| found the same response on the part
of the laboringman that was one of the
striking developments on my State tour.
This support is coming not alone from
the Republican party, which is in a
state of almost complete disruption
everywhere, but from voters who have
usually given adherence to Democratic
Candidates anu platforms.
''In this respect it is essentially a
great nonpartisan upheaval, a revolt
against machine rule, and protest
against the old-fashioned combination
of politics and capital.
"In Milwaukee, the metropolis of the
great State of Wisconsin, which Sena-
tor La Folette's influence has already
made one of the most progressive Com
monwealths in the Union, there can be
no question that, whatever individual
preferences may be, the Progressive
cause will be triumphant on Election
Day.
/ ''ln Chicago the remarkable trend to-
ward the Progressive party made all fic-
titious reports of a Roosevelt slump
seem laughingly absurd.
"In President Taft's own State of
Ohio, where / spoke to large an enthus-
iastic audiences at Cincinnati and Cleve-
land, the protest against the old parties
is no less emphatic, and the results will
be as certain as in the States farther to
the west.
''In Cincinnati, where they know the
evils of boss rule through their expert
ence with the old Cox machine, the
voters seem to be fired with an eXtraor-
binary enthusiasm to terminate once
and for all conditions which made such a
disgraceful regime possible.
In Cleveland. where Tom johnson
/ Ga Progressive ahead of his tme) had
hewed the way, the demonstration of
the peoples adherence to Progressive
policies and the candidates of the Pro-
gressive party appears to be well-nigh
unanimous.
Through the combinations of the in
tellectuals, the professors, the doctors,
the teachers, with Lincolns plain peo-
pie, who are with US heart and soul, we
expect landslide on November -

Horse Guards Thrown Rider.

Philadelphia, Oct. Is. The sagacity
of the saddle horse of Miss Imogene
Greble to-day saved her life. She was
riding along Wissahickon Drive when
the horse reared and she was thrown.
Directly behind her We're half dozen
riders, all going at a good clip.
Miss Greble's horse seemed to realize
instantly that his rider was off and with
out seconds hesitancy planted him
self directly over her body, forcing the
other horses to make a detour when
otherwise they most likely would have
trampled upon her.
Miss Greble remounted and continued
her ride.
