The third party in the field makes it
so divided that it will be hard to
tell where the deal will land. Every
thing now is third party. Where do
the good old socialist and prohibit
ion parties come in? They must not
be considered as in it, if so, the Bull
Moose party will probably wish they
had taken notice of the smaller ones
as Debs is making the statement
that Teddy Roosevelt. the leader
of the Bull Moosers, is the most
dangerous man in America"

The tragedy at Tekoa in connec-

The tragedy at Tekoa in connec-
ton with the Gardner saloon that
cost the assassination of two officials
and the suicide of their assassin,
Milton Gardner having killed ano-
ther man before Ernest Gardner
murdered two more and himself,
throws lurid light on the danger of
the drink-habit and of the saloon.
1t also emphasizes the ever present
need for strict control of the traffic
by public authorities.
The affair forms a terrible object
lesson. The parents of the murder
ers are described as highly respected
people. The sons therefore had as
good a start in life and as fair a
chance for usefulness and well-be-
ing as any man could ask. But
they took to drink, the habit mas
tered them, and the pitiful end is
the breaking of the parents hearts
and the loss of valuable as we'll as of
worthless lives.
The saloon must be bitted and
curbed as n of the gravest dangers
to social welfare. Laxity in enforc-
ing the laws as to the traffic is a
dangerous dereliction of public duty
at a vital spot.

Newspaper advertising received
another endorsement a week or two
ago when c. Frank Williams, dele
gate to the Pennsylvania Retail Coal
Merchants Association, in session
at Reading, U. S. A., declared that
when all other methods of publicity
had failed he came back to the
newspapers. He said in part
Advertising depends on localities.
I have tried various ways of adver-
Using to bring my business before
the public, but in the end I have al
ways gone back to the newspapers.
I tried circulars, personal solicita-
ton. and postcard methods, but
none was as successful as the news
paper. Change your 'ad.' from
time to time and people will read it
especially if it is an attractive :ad.'
A whole lot depends on the 'ad.'
believe in that remark by John
Wanamaker several years ago, when
he said that by advertising in news
papers a man received five times as
much for his money as he could in
any other way"

zloNlsTs AND FACTORY WORK.
ERs ENGAGE IN BATTLE.
Four Men, TWO of Them Elders, Are
Seriously Hurt and Scores Re-
celve Minor Bruises.

Zion City, Ill.-The anti-tobacco
crusade of the Zionists against
the factory workers reached the riot
stage and in pitched battle between
the factions, four men, two of them
elders, were seriously injured, two
were placed under arrest and scores
Of men and women received minor
injuries.
The followers of Wilbur Glen Voliva
shun tobacco as they would rattle
snake. Recently a number of large
factories have located near Zion City
and the workers insist on indulging
week have been campaigning among
the factory workers, urging them by
prayers and song to give up the ''fil-
thy weed" Several minor disturb
ances have occurred. Signboards, were
erected facing the factory of the Cook
Electric plant and the workers were
plainly told in capital letters what the
disciples of Voliva thought of tobacco
users. Signboards were burned down.
Later a platform, surrounded by
wire fencing, was erected near the fac
tory entrance and the Voliva faction
planned to hold a meeting at p. m,
when the tobacco users poured from
the building.
Shortly before the hour set for the
meeting 200 men and women, under
the leadership of Elder F. M. Royal,
marched through the streets of Zion
to their temporary meeting place.
Acting under orders from Mayor
Hitler, Chief of Police John Hoover,
with score of deputies, also marched
to the meeting place. The first song
was the signal for action.
"You will have to disperse," shouted
Chief Hoover
1--WE are on our own land and you
have no right to interfere with us, "
was the defiance of the Volivaites.
"At 'em, men," commanded Chief
Hoover.
The attacking party, reinforced by
the workmen,> headed for the fence
that inclosed the temporary platform.
! The wires were cut. Some of the Vo-
livaites fed others remained to fight,
while still others calmly rear their
| Bibles.
But the free use of clubs in the
hands of Chief Hoover and his men
soon had it's effect. The 200 were
routed from their meeting place and
headed toward the main part of town,
The dozen elders on the platform
soon followed. The platform was then
torn down and the fence demolished

ROOSEVELT REPLIES TO TAFT
Colonel Takes Up Gauntlet Hurled by

straint to the winds Col. Theodore
Roosevelt here scored President Taft
mercilessly for the presidents bitter
attack upon him. He wanted war.
am going to give it to him." remarked
the ex-president, grimly, as his train
hauled into Worcester just after dusk
Roosevelt kept his word. He took up
the gauntlet hurled by the president
and scourged him with violence that
made his audience vince.
The colonel plunged into his denun-
citation of the president before crowd
of 5000 in Mechanics hall. President
Taft had walked Massachusetts with
his desperate condemnation of Roose-
welt and Worcester wanted to hear
how Roosevelt would reply to it. In
caustic phrase Roosevelt branded
Taft's administration, as failure, say
ing he failed to comprehend what the
nation wanted. He accused the presi-
dent of having committed an "unpar-
donable sin for any man calling him
self a gentleman" in having resorted
to confidential correspondence to as
sail him. In loud voice Colonel Roose-
welt characterized the presidents at
titude toward him as CROOKED hypoc-
risy."

PAID NO HEED TO ROCKETS
SHOT FROM TITANlc'S DECK
Men on Bridge of California See the
Flashes but Do Not Call Wireless
Operator to Investigate.

Washington, D. C.-Fifteen min
utes before the Titanic sent her cry
for help across the North Atlantic, the
wireless operator of the Californian,
which lay quietly in an ice field less
than 20 miles away, slipped the re-
ceivers from his ears, pulled off his
clothes and turned into his berth. The
rockets that were sent up from the
sinking marine giant were seen from
the Californians bridge, but no one
thought it worth while to arouse the
wireless man and ask him to find out
what was the matter. Had this been
done the steamer could have been
rushed through the ice field to pick up
the struggling Titanic passengers and
hundreds of them would have been
saved.
This testimony, which confirms the
affidavit of Donkey Engineer Gill of
the Californian, was given by Captain
Lord of the Californian and Cyril
Evans, his wireless man, before the
senate ub-committee. 1t establishes
beyond question the fact that on small
vessels the wireless men are asleep
or off duty before the hours of dark
ness that are most perilous to steam
ships.
