EX President Roosevelt Shot.

Monday evening as Col. Roosevelt Was
standing in an automobile il front of the
Gilpatrick Hotel in Milwaukee and
about to start for the Auditorium to
make a speech, he was shot in the right
breast by man, evidently lunatic, by
the name Of John Schranck Of New York.
After being wounded, Col. Roosevelt pro
ce6ded to the Auditorium and delivered
MS speech after which be was taken to
the Emergency hospital where his wound
was dressed. The wound is not cOnsid-
cred serious unless complication should
set in. The would-be assassin was ar
rested and plead guilty to attempted
murder and his trial will be postponed
to await the outcome of his cruel act.
1t is humilating, that in this free
country public men cannot go about free
ly without becoming victims of assassins.
1t is a shame and a disgrace to our
country and everybody will earnestly
wish for the recovery Of Col. Roosevelt.
A full account of the shooting of the
EX-President appears elsewhere in this
issue of the Leader.

Watertown, Wis, October ?, 1912.
Exh. A.
The Honorable Board of Education,
Watertown, Wis.
Gentlemen:
Your Committee on Teachers and In
struction. to whom was referred the mat
ter of investigating the fee system now
in vogue in the Domestic Science De-
partment of cur public schools, has had
the same under consideration. and re-
ports as follows:
The cost of material used in said de-
partment is about $4,000 a year, and
the Board will receive this year from
the states350OO towards its maintenance.
This is the only department of our Pub
lie schools where the pupil has been re-
quired TO pay, no fee being exaeted from
the scholars attending the Manual Train
lug course, and it looks a good deal like
discrimination against the girls who
take the Domestic Science course and in
favor of the boys who attend the Manu-
aI TRAINING e0IlrSp which in the ODiniOD
Of your committee, is unjust.
Your Committee therefore recommends
that no further fees will be charged fol
attending the Domestic Science course

A Lot of Nonsense

THE notification of Presi dental candidates of their nomi
nation, and the incidents that come and go with this delay, is
to the average American a lot of nonsense. just why all the
delay and gallery play is indul ged in is hard to determine.
The American people have for some time known that VIM.
Taft was the nominee of the Republican party. 1t took a
months advertising before a committee waited on him, and
there was another big time and a lot of speech making and hur-
rah. The same thing occurred in the notification OF Mr.. Will
son, a $ was shown by the late dispatches.
About the most sensible thing that Roosevelt and his fol.
lowers have done in the past three months wa the mode OF
notifying him of the nomination. 1t came right off the bat
while it was hot and the agony was over in a few minutes after
the event occurred.
Tt is time that the American people took this hint and get
down to real business. All the frills that have gone on for a
month or more don't make any man stronger and it reminds
one of an advertised circus with everything but the posters. and
they will follow if this kind Of nonsense continues.

which would be included in the financial statebents of any pl-

The New Way

WHEN a boom camp is started now a days the investors
must be shown. A few years back all that Wa necessary Was
someone to cite an outcrop, lay out his townsite, and then the
boom was on. Not so now. The parties must show up the ore,
and then some more.
Take the camp of High Grade, for instance. 1t has been
doomed since last winter and now is settling down to business.
One producing mine is chronicled, and a lot of prospects,. The
people refused to boom, and likewise to buy. The new way is
the best. The camps must have the goods, and that will make
any section. There will be new mines and new bOoms, but they
will be on merit.

Seeing is Believing

MAN Of the followers Of the Republican party believed
almost to the last moment that Roosevelt was running a bluff
and that he would not organize and run a party of his own.
They figured that he would hesitate before cutting the party in
twain and giving the Democrats the whip hand. 1t was even
urged that Taft resign and give the field to the Colonel. rather
than the severing of the party ties. Those who were blind
have been forced to see. and none ae so deaf but that they
hear the shouts of the COlOnei.

A couple of carloads of gravel from the Rock Island pits near Benton, were unloaded here Monday by the local section crew. One car was load ed with gravel that had been sacked for use in the overflow district, and in the other the gravel was loaded loose. The ear however was side tracked here, and had sat on the track, in all the various weathers we have experienced for the past month, until the car in which the gravel had been loaded loose had become almost a solid rock, the gravel seeming to have the consistency or nature of cement, and caking together with the moisture and packing rains that had fallen upon il. Cr0wbars and picks were used to disintegrate the stuff, but it was slow job, and at one time it began to look as if dynamite would have to be res0rted to. The gravel will be used i'll repairing washed out places in the local yards.

 Some parties from Marianna, came to this place last Tuesday. in a gaso- line boat. They had imbibed very freely and were in merry mood. When within about sixty yards of Democrat, they grounded the boat and all fell oyer 10 one side which caused the boat to take water and some Of the crowd fell out of the boat and others jumped out in the water, thinking that an explosion had oc- cured It was general mixup for a short time, but they all got cooled off and went on their way.
 If the Leyee Board can get that million and half dollars that they are going to ask for, we had just as well bundle up our few duds and light shuck for high land, for when the levee is built five or six foot high CT, 1t will wash us off the face of the earth if We stay in the bottoms As soon as the leyee is built high enough the water will go to sixty feet at Memphis, and wash the Bluff City of the bluff.
 Everything looks very bad in this nick of the woods as it will be too late to plant a cotton crop by the time the water goes down, and only corn crop can be raised We are surely short on corn, but 10 merchant wants any corn,so there you are.
 Just as soon as the Levee Board gets the problem solved how to put gal. lon of water into a pint bottle, then we will not have any more big over. flows
