LOUISVILLE. Ky, Oct. 1S.-Before a

date for governor of Indiana, last night
delivered what was in reality a mes
sage from Colonel Roosevelt, the in
domitable leader of the Progressive
cause. Speaking of the bullet directed
at Roosevelt in Milwaukee. he said il
was directed at a cause, not a man and
that had it found its mark it would
not have stayed the cause. He said:
Had it laid the great leader low,
still the principle would have march ed
onward. But our leader is spared still
to lead that forward movement in
American life which God meant him

his ruin by criminal wealth and the
crazy mind which was the plots sure
fruit. over all the forces of evil and
their workmen. the great American pre-
walls.
Every American is proud of those
fine traits this typical American
showed in the hour of real trial. the
fires Of danger once more prove him
pure gold-such pluck, such> calm, such
Kindness, such thought for others. even
for those who sought his death. With
the bullet in his breast. his first thought
was to save the poor creature who had
fired il. He cried out to the men who
were in the very act Of killing the
crazed assailant: stop; do not hurt
him. Bring him to me-
And under his strong arm the mad
man found safety and protection.
His next thought was for the peo-
pie for whose welfare he is fighting
and Of the word given him to speak to
them. Drive On he said. I will speak
to the people of their cause And he
did it. From the moment the shot was
fired. of which all mon know oven now

Lack of Money

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-Two influences
are expected to make the war between
the Balkan states and Turkey shot
and shart. First is the approach of
winter and the second is the financial
pressure.
None of the beligerant states are III
a position to stand the strain of pro
longed military operations. Bulgaria
recently tried in vain to raise a small
sum as a loan in Paris. Turkey has
long been endeavoring in New York
and Paris to borrow the sinews of war
but without success.
Upon the formal declaration of war
by Servia the interest is transferred 10
the prospects of a hard winter cam
paign.
The war is expected to take the form
Of a land campaign between Bulgaria
and Turkey and a naval struggle be-
tween Turkey and Greece. 1t is be
lieved that Turkey will concentrate
attack on the Bulgarian forces before
the Servians can come to their aid.
The Greeks are rejoicing over tn sir
