Stokes IS SURE
COLONEL WILL RUN
Much Interest in Despatch
That Fort Will Manage 7. RS
Jersey Campaign.

TRENTON, Jan. 27.-Former Cover
nor Edward C. Stokes, the original
New Jersey boomer of Theodore Roose-
Welt for another term in the White
House, gave out a statement here last
night after a visit to the former Presi-
dent at the latter's office in New York.
81 am entirely satisfied said Mr..
Stokes, speaking Of Colonel Roose-
welt. that no personal disinclination
will stand in the way of service to his
party and country"
The Stokes statement in full:
1T had a most interesting interview
with Colonel Roosevelt. He spoke
very frankly and confidently of the
situation in the country. He has a
marvellous grasp of the details of the
actual conditions. His present atti-
tude, awaiting the call of his party,
seems to me to be eminently dignified
and proper. I assume 10 authority
to disclose what is in Colonel Roose-
velt's mind in connection with the
Presidential nomination. Personally.
however, I am entirely satisfied that no
personal dissemination will stand in the
way of service to his party and coun-
try. I have hope that in a few days
this fact will be made clear in a way
that the most doubtful will understand
IT."
The Roosevelt movement in New Jer-
sey is gaining influential recruits daily.
Frank B. Jess, a former speaker of the
House of Assembly, now president OF
the State Board for Equalization of
Texas. today declared for Roosevelt
He said that he is the strongest candi-
date the Republican party could NOM
mate.
The capital was very much inter-
ested last night in a dispatch from Chi
cage printed in the afternoon news
papers to the effect that former Gov
ernor Franklin Fort had telegraphed
the committee In charge Of the national
campaign for the nomination of Roose-
Welt that he (Fort) will take charge of
the organization In New Jersey and
hat the active work will begin at
once. Mr.. Fort his allegi-

BALTIMORE :, Jan. 27.-Big occasions

be supposed hat Baltimore would be
lacking in creative genius with such a
Hateful happening as the national
Democratic convention hardly more
than a score of weeks in the future.
The first feat to be recorded is to the
credit of William Storm. chief COM
FOUNDER of soothing and delicious de-
coctions at a leading hotel.
Mr.. Storm, whose genial nature is
utterly at variance with his name, said:
II have been working hard for days
and nights on the production of a
brand new l~ife-saver and at last am in
a position to echo the cry of the old
Greek philosopher, 'Eureka!'
Put a few dashes of grenadine
(sweet stuff in bottom of glass, a few
drops of lemon Juice, a lash of bitters
and likewise of vermouth; to this add
one part of Irish whiskey n two
parts of sloe gin, and your convention

HARVEY WILL KEEP OUT
OF WILSON CONTROVERSY

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-Colonel George
Harvey. editor of Harper's Weekly,
said today that he did not propose
to say a thing about the latest devel-
opments in the Tillman- Watterson-
Harvey Wilson controversy. The coll
onel said he had read the correspond
ence between Senator Tillman and Col
onel Watterson.
He would not say anything about
the statement that correspondence had
passed between Governor Wilson and
himself since the break, which Gov
ernor Wilson was willing should be
made public. Asked If he might say
something later either on the Tillman-
watterson correspondence or on his
break with Governor Wilson, Colonel
Harvey laughed and replied:
God bless me, l don't know. Never,
I guess. l think I'll keep out of 1t for
ever from now ons'

Alabama Presents Oscar Underwood

Alabama presents the name of Oscar W. Underwood for President of these United States, and the words in which this is done are so adequate and duplicate to the two recent re- publican administrations that they de- serve reproduction. The resolution declares that the state of Alabama does hereby solemnly dedicate to the nation and to the democratic party in the nation the character, heart and mind of Oscar W. Underwood; assur- ing the American people that no mo- tives of expediency, no flexible ve- racity, no pharasaic virture, no elas- ticity of conviction and no dema- goguery of the prize ring will prompt or accompany any public or private act of this man, but that his discharge of duty will be characterized by decis- ion, nobility of purpose, courage and force, rather than by the amiable and helpless uncertainty of the present re- publican regime or the raw and selfish uses of that high priest of expediency who conducted the last"
 Alabama, for these reasons, calls upon the democrats of other states to place in the chief office of the re- public Oscar W. Underwood. And this call will be needed if the other states desire above all else a states man who will come nearer than any other public man to the elimination of error, and who will at all times be just to ali while filled with patriot ism and love of country that are nowhere exceeded. He is a sound, safe, thoughtful and experi- enced public leader. His service of 20 years in Congress has given him an equipment in federal affairs that few indeed possess, and his even poise and good common sense render him the best man before the American people today.

Details of Titanic Tragedy

With the landing of the Carpathia last night came sorrowful details of the Titanic disaster and the lament able tidings that the death list was much larger than wireless messages had reported.
 Never were there such heart rend- ing scenes as those on the i'll fated Titanic. Many have been the trage- dies on the ocean but all former hor- TOTS pale in comparison with this in which 1900 people perished. It casts gloom unspeakable over the whole world and the tender sympathies of people every where go out to the bereaved.
 From the accounts of survivors the Titanic's life saving devices were al- together insufficient. No ship should ever be allowed to carry more pas sengers than can be rescued in time of disaster. Had the Titanic been supplied with enough life boats every passenger could have been saved. And that very fact makes the terrible calamity all the harder to bear. Six teen hundred human beings lost be- cause life on the great steamer was not properly safe guarded!
 The congressional investigation cannot be too searching. Notwith- standing the ocean disasters that have occurred in recent years little or noth- ing has been done to improve safe guarding methods on the high seas. But Mondays lesson will surely not be lost on future travel. Let there be no delay on the part of the United States and other governments in pass ing the necessary laws; and those laws cannot be too rigid.

AN EVERYDAY HERO

From the St. Louis Times
 James S. Fields lay in his bed seri- ously i'll at Mccurtain, Okla, a few weks ago, when word was brought to him of an accident in the coal mine near by. Men were imprisoned in the earth, and there was need of much immediate work, if the jeopardized lives were to be saved
 So Fields arose and joined the res cuing forces, and no one worked with a better will than he.
 Later he took to his bed again. and on April he died. The physician in at tendance stated that the efforts he had made on behalf of others were the cause of his death
 As individuals go in the United States, there is something almost commonplace in this short story about James S. Fields. Almost any man, placed in the same cir cumstances. would have acted as Fields acted.
 But the admission must be made that sacrifices are more commonly made by the rank and file of men, who have little besides their lives to give. than by the favored few. who cannot be persuaded to sacrifice even a part of their great profits.
 If the mine operators in the United States were made of the stuff that James S. Fields was made of; if they could be induced to think more of the safety and welfare of the men who labor in the depths of the earth, than of the amassing oh take away from the world with them, and which are more often than not great curse to succeeding generations, there would be fewer chronicles relating how scores of men perish when the walls gave way and the black damp has done it's work.

CASTLES IN THE AIR

Richard Steele in the Spectator
 A castle builder is ever just what he pleases; and as such I have grasped im- aginary scepters, and delivered uncon- trollable edcts from a throne to which conquered nations yielded obedience. I have made know not how many inroads into France, and ravaged the very heart of the kingdom. | have dined in the Louvre, and drank champagne at Yer sailles; and l would have you take notice am not only able to vanquish a people already cowed and accustomed to flight, but I could, Almonzor like, drive the Brit ish general from the field, were I less Protestant, or. had ever been adopted by the confederates.
 There is no art or profession whose most celebrated masters I have not eclipsed. Wherever l have afforded my salutary presence, levers have ceased to burn and agues to shake the human fab ric. When an eloquent fit has been upon me, an apt gesture and proper cadence have animated each sentence, and gazing crowds have found their passions worked

 These are the phantoms that dance be- fore my waking eyes. and compose my day dreams. I should be the most con tented man alive were the chimerical hap piress which springs from the paintings of fancy less fieeting and transitory. But alas! it is with grief of mind l tell you, the least breath of wind has often de- moished my magnificent edihces, swept away my groves, and left no more trace of them than if they had never been. My exchequer has sunk and vanished by rap on my door; the salutation of friend has cost me whole continent; and in the same moment l have been pulled by tbe sleeve. my crown has fallen from my head The i'll consequences of these reyeries is inconceivably great, seeing the loss of imaginary possessions makes inn nression of woe. Besides, bad economy iD visible and apparent in builders of invisible mansions.

that defects in the law may be reme- died, and a constitutional amendment, if need be, adopted. The resolutions further declare that the statement that the railroad laws of 1907 were confiscatory is contradicted by the in creased net earnings of the Louisville and Nashville railroad itself.
 The adoption of the Long resolu- tions by an overwhelming vote deter mines democratic policy in this state as to railroad rates, and it is now up to the state authorities to take steps to carry out the democratic sen- timent of the state. Governor O'Neal has expressed an intention to do this.
