! was Rooseyelt's

speech or de- was .Roosevelt's
reply.
The colonel left the dressing room
and went out upon the stage, where
Henry f. Cochems told the audience
that Roosevelt had been shot and
asked the people to remain calm.
Roosevelt walked to the front of
the platform and said, 'sIt is true, I.
have been shot, and I am going to
ask you to be very quiet and excuse
me from making very long speech.
I'll do the best I can, but, you see,
there's bullet in my body, I'm
not hurt badly, however, He then
proceeded with his speech, evidently
with increasing effort, and talked for
more than an hour. = 49, -..g.,s g..
At the conclusion of his address he
was rushed, in an automobile, to the
emergency hospital, where he was
placed on an operating table and ex-
amined by number of surgeons.
The examination of the wound dis
closed that it had been made by a
bullet of large size, which entered
the t1eshy part of the right breast
half way between the collarbone and
lower rib. An X-ray machine which
was brought,into requisition showed
that the bullet had penetrated the
chest to the depth of four inches and
lodged in the muscles instead of pen
etrating the lung.
After the examination was over
and it had been decided to defer
probing for the bullet until the
colonel had been removed to a Chi
cago hospital, he was conveyed to
the railway station, where he and
his party embarked for the windy
city.
In Chicago he was conveyed to
Mercy hospital, and there X-ray
examinations verified the diagnosis
of the Milwaukee surgeons-that the
bullet had lodged in the muscles of
the chest. No operation for the
rmoval of the bullet was made at
that time.
Schrank, the man who shot Roose-
velt, is a native of>Bavaria, Sc years
old, who came to this country at the
age of 9. He said he has been en-
gagged in the saloon business the
greater part of his life and had been
personally acquainted with Roosevelt
since the colonel was police commits
sioner Of New York. His attention.
he said, was first attracted toward
Roosevelt as a political parsonage
when the colonel cried ''thief'' at
the Chicago convention. He consid-
cred him a menace to the country-a
dangerous mainland felt convinced
that if he (Roosevelt) was defeated
at the fall election he would again
cry 'thief'' and that his action
would plunge the country into a
bloody civil war. He said that for
mer PresidentMcKinley had appeared
to him in dream and told him that
Roosevelt, and not Czolgosz had
murdered him in order that he
might become president. Schrank
therefore determined that it was his
duty to put Roosevelt out of the way
and had followed him about the
country for that purpose.
Theodore Roosevelt, according to
late dispatches, is resting easily but
no attempt has yet been made to
remove the bullet which is embedded
in the muscles of his chest.

attend banquet given by the class
to the members of both teams,
coaches and faculty. The banquet
proved huge success and the grid
iron warriors Of the few minutes be-
fore sat peacefully down side by side
with their opponents and partook of
the bounteous repast prepared by the
senior cooking class. With all the
good things to eat and in the beauti-
fully decorated banquet hall where
the orange and black. colors Of the
visitors had been generously inter-
mingled with the crimson and white
of the Milaca school, the soreness of
defeat and the exuberance of victory
soon reached a common level of good
fellowship and good feeling. 1t was
fitting climax for a hard and clean
game of football, and did much to-
ward knitting athletic relations be-
tween the two rival high schools into
a frmer knot than heretofore.
Girls of Sixties Entertained. j.,
The ''girl" who entertained for
the October gathering of her sisters
of ''the '60's' was Mrs. Ellen How
ard, the occasion being a farewell
party for Mrs. Mary Rines, who
leaves soon for winter on the Paci-
fc coast.
All members were present and,
with Mrs. Page, who had received a
special invitation as guest Of honor,v
an even dozen gathered about the
festive board. And such repast as
greeted them! The proyerbial
'groaning'' of the table under it's
burden of good things must have
been literally true if ever so, and the
guests did justice to the feast in a
manner that bespoke unimpaired di-
gestive organs.
In view of the fact that October is
the month OF witches and COLLINS,
Mrs. Howard had prepared genuine
surprise for her guests in the way of
decorations, etc. Festoons of black
and orange, from out whose folds
appeared at intervals the forms of
witches, black cats and jack o'lan-
terms, were draped above the table,
and the napkins and place cards were
decorated with the same grotesque
designs. Pumpkin shells, cut and
embellished most artistica]ly. served
as salad dishes, and a fine large one
inscribed with the legend, "Girls of
the $685." graced the tables center
as fruit bowl. literally Soap
the climax the hostess had provided
souvenirs for all in the form of
witches caps with goblin faces, and
these each guest was compelled to
don for the meal hour.
A farewell to Mrs. Rines in the
way of tribute commemorative of
her zeal and devotion to the society
was read, and the evening enjoyed
in the usual manner,-''just visit
ing" -and the company dispersed
enthusiastic in the praise of their
hostess. whom they voted an enter
tainer of the truly royal type.

LIQUID AIR, RADIUN

On Monday night, Pendleton citi-

This dissolution by the archbishop

Judge Laurendeau in the high court
Judge Charbonneau reversed Judge
Laurendeau's decision, holding that
any officer qualified by the state to

mate proportion of the expenses. Not
having the books audited we do not
feel at liberty to use any figures, but
we are satisfied THAI tie figures of
the final settlement are as nearly
correct as the board could determine
under the existing conditions.
AS to the sinking fund being de-
pleted, We find that If the accounts
due the union are collected, the sink
ing fund will be intact, we also find
that there are matters, particularly
the loss incurred in the purchase of
the old warehouse, which occurred
before Mr.. Lamb took charge of the
Union, and the expense of removing
the old elevator, that have been car
ried for several years past, have been
adjusted this season, which fact is
largely the cause for there appearing
to be a shortage this past year; these
should have been charged up at the
time and the depreciation distributed
proportionately each year.
We have found the parties on both
sides frank and fair in their state
ments and discussion, and we recon-
mend that this matter be dropped, as
further discussion only serves to keep
the members in a state of uncertain
", and the matter of maintaining the
organization is of such vast import
ance that no grower can afford to
jeopardize its existence.

The Shorter WORKING Day
BY DIR. JOHN r.. HAYNES.

The demand for a shorter working
day is not a matter that concerns
lmerely the employer and the employe.
1t involves nothing less than the ques-
ton OF whether our republic shall
survive or fall.
IT democracy is to endure, If popu-
lar government is to prevail, two
things are necessary: First, every citi-
zen must take hand in the control
of the country's affairs; second, every
citizen must as voter exercise that
control intelligently The, first is not
difficult; If the voter is too ignorant
Tor too Indifferent to act on his own
initiative, the boss leads and directs
[Inim
i The second requisite is more diff
ficult to secure. Our grandfathers
made good citizens largely because
they were farmers, and farmers are
their own bosses. Commerce and
manufactures are increasing and pre-
dominant industries today Steam and
electrical inventions have organized
men into great industrial armies. In
these armies only a few can be cap
'tains, or ''bosses," the rank and file
must necessarily be privates, the ones
'bossed. -
The private directed by a superior
'officer in his every waking moment
Is necessarily untitled to direct at the
polls the management of the nations
business. Since there are not enough
captaincies to go around, the develop
ment Of the private's personality must
be secured in the hours outside of
those spent in the Industrial army.
His leisure hours must be sufficient
to enable him to engage in self-di-
rected activities, self bossed occupa-
lions, to become a grower of flowers
and fruits, perhaps, an artist or me-
chanic, perhaps. Varied activities
self-directed made our fathers men
rich in individuality; lack Of them is
sapping the will power of our race.
The citizen whose every waking &C.
tivity is directed by an industrial boss
lalls an easy prey to the political
boss More hours devoted to living
can alone supply the remedy.
Intelligent citizenship requires phys
lcal vlgor This is seriously menaced
today. Man is an out-of-doors ami
NAL. Races that live indoors arc
sooner or later swept aside by out
door races. as were the city-engen-
dered Romans when brought into
conflict With the forest-dwelling Ger
mans. City population is constantly
dying out and being replaced by fresh
nlood from the country. It is said
that in London, the largest of earth's
cities, no family survives to the fourth
generation.
But in America, where in Wash
'ngton's day the percentage of pop
ulation in cities was per cent the
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1912-12-28

percentage is now more than so per
cents and will soon be 80 per cent.
Modern industrial conditions render
this inevitable. The armies of thin.
palefaced employees who pour forth
each nightfall from city stores, offices
and factories foreshadow race degen-
eracy. The only salvation from this
physical degeneracy-of the American
people lies in the substantial -reduc-
ton of the working hours, permit
ting good measure of the day spent
outdoors in the sunshine.
Long working hours at the present
time are illogical, even absurd. The
weaver Of today managing r. steam
power looms produces in a day ap-
proximately as much as 500 weavers
in the old handloom days. Why
should he work as many hours as
they? Moreover, work under. modern
steam power high pressure systems
is more exhausting and should be
limited to shorter hours. Also the
minute specialization and the terrible
monotony by which the worker in the
shoe factory, for instance, makes one
motion and that only thousands of
times day, sometimes producing, in
sanity, requires that hours should be
correspondingly shorter. *'"..
Shorter, hours do not: mean econo-
mic loss but the contrary: There are
some two million idle poor and per-
haps one million idle rich today, all
living off of the labors Of the en-
| ployed workers. A shorter hour
working day would assist in solving
| the problem Of finding work for the
| three million unemployed. Perhaps
| it's most valuable result would be in
aiding in the adjustment of industrial
'misfits,' the curse of modern spe-
cializatton. A shorter working day
would enable the laborer to try out
| in his leisure hours other occupations
without surrendering his distasteful
| employment until he can prove the
new employment a success in the sup
port of his family. This would not
! only make thousands Of lives happy
which are now unhappy because of
"misfit' employment, but would en-
ormously increase the economic pro-
duction of the nation.
No power on earth can withstand
the onward sweep Of democracy; the
masses will rule. If the toilers are
given leisure hours for sunshine and
self-development they will be fitted
to exercise the powers and RESPONSE
bilities Of democracy. If, on the. 9TH
er hand, they are restricted to indoor
life, to monotonous drudgery, to the
unceasing directions of the :"boss, "
then, whatever their theoretical
standing in law may be, in fact, they
will tend to become physically, men
tally and morally slaves, wholly un-
fitted. for the powers and duties ,ol
citizenship.
