JOHN CASSELL KILLED
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. B
Cassell met with aCCi-
dent Monday noon

death.

that has ever occurred in Hope
was that which happened Mon
day noon and resulted in the
death of one of Hopes most
promising young men. John
Cassel, the seventeen year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. M. B. Cassell.
During the recent rains a leak
had developed in the cornice on
the front of their residence at
the corner of Ingalls, Ave. and
Fifth St. Mr.. Cassell and John
had examined it Monday morn
ing and John decided to fix it at
once. He went to the hardware
store where he borrowed a gas.
oline torch and soldering iron
with which to do the repairing.
When dinner was announced he
had not completed the job as the
torch did not seem to be giving
the usual amount of heat to the
iron but he decided to remain
and finish the job before coming
down; In order to get more
heat from the torch he pumped
in more air failing to notice that
the wind was blowing the blaze
against the tank containing the
gasoline. The explosion came
while the family was seated at
the table. Being in rather
cramped quarters, John had the
torch close beside him and the
explosion covered his head, face
and shoulders with blazing gas
oline. He jumped at once from
the cornice to the porch a dis
lance of about fourteen feet and
then from the porch to the
ground where he rolled in the
grass for an instant until assist.

were smothered with a rug.
The fire which started on the
cornice was also put out.

which did not appear to be very
serious. AS time passed, how
ever the young man appeared
to be growing weaker and ex-
perienced some difficulty in
breathing and a decision was
made to hold a consultation.
While the arrangements we're
being made for this the end
came. The tortured body re.
fused to respond to medical
science and the soul took it's
flight shortly before six O'Clock
tuesday morning. 4
A shroud of gloom fell over
our city when the news vas re-
ceived, for though all heard of
the accident no one suspected
its seriousness. Sympathy for
the parents and brother and
sisters we're expressed by every:
one and the many friends of the
young man were hardly able to
realize the truth of the news.
Yesterday he was with us, strong
active, full of life, heartily en-
joying all that was good in our
city; to-day he lies cold in Death;
mourned by all who knew him. !
The funeral WILDE held at the
Congregational Church at two

THAT VOICE FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE.

There is no longer any dispute over the fact that
the late Mr.. E. H. Hartman raised quarter of mil
lion dollars for the Republican campaign fund in
1904; and from the testimony of former Senator
Nathan B. Scott of West virginia, before the SEN
ate committee on Wednesday there fingers no doubt
that this was done with the full consent if not at
the eager insstence of Mr.. Roosevelt
In October. 1904. Senator Scott related, he was at
Republican national headquarters in New York when
there came long distance telephone call from the
White House Neither Treasurer Bliss nor Chair
man Cortelyou was present so that it fell to the
Senator to respond The voice rom the White
House asked anxously concerning the gubernatorial
race in New York and added, 81 would rather lose
the election in the country than be defeated in my
own State" And then from the voice came
this interesting remark: "Mr. Hartman is coming
to see me and I'll see If we arrange to raise
the funds to help Higgins (the Republican candi-
date for Governor)."
Senator Scott knew at the time, as the entire
country has subsequently learned, that this voice"
was that of President Roosevelt. 1t was the same
voice that time and again had summoned Mr.. Harri-
man to Washington and that had glibly flung itself
to the ears Of Wall Street, either with coaxes or
threats, when campaign money was needed.
Judge Lovett, chairman of the executive commit
tee Of the Hartman system testified Il knew of
Mr. Harrimans visit to Washington In October 1904.
He told me the national committee in hole
and owed the State committee some two hundred
thousand dollars. He said, The President wants
me to help them out and roe got to do it,
1t was this same voice from the White House"
which hurled the lie at Judge Parker's charge that
the Roosevelt candidacy being supported by huge
contributions Special interests 1t was the same
voice which last week was forced to admit in effect
the truth of that charge.
According to his statement before the Senate
committee Mr. Roosevelt made no protest against
such contributions except, he says, in the single
case of the Standard Oil money and even in that
instance the contribution not returned His only
defense is that there then law requiring pub
Icity Of campaign funds and that he played the
game" according to the rules of the hour. Such is
the record Of this sefyled prophet of clean politics
and popular government.

INDUSTRIAL iABSOLUTTSM

There is every reason to believe, and none to
doubt, that those monopolies which have been most
fragrant in lettering American business tactly,
if not actively supporting the Third partys program
for trust regulation. Indeed, of these very In
terests were the of Mr.. RoOsevelts proposal
that federal commission be created for the ostensb
purpose of regulating prices and wages and profits
Naturally they favor scheme which, if carried into
effect would mark the final quietus of competition
and which would fortfy their own methods and prac
tices with the power of the Government.
Reduced to its essence the Third Termer's plan is
simply to legalize the very conditions from which
the countrys economic ills have arisen. He clings
to the thoroughly falacious and obsolete idea
that competition is longer desirable and that giant
combines, even though they result in monopoly OF
products and trade, essential to industrial efh
cheney. To be the mere size Of trust is not
true of the right the legality or ille
gality of its conduct But it is certain that no
group Of men should be permitted to crush all COM
petitors by foul and to gain absolute mastery
of a product or industry which the country's
commercial life largely depends
Mr.. Louis d. Brandeis, who is one of the careful
and weladvised of thinkers this subject, wisely
says:
I'VE must undertake to regulate competition
instead of monopoly, for industrial freedom
and our civic freedom 90 hand In hand and there
is no such thing as civic freedom in state Of
industrial GbsoIutism"
Industrial absolutism" is perhaps the truest
description that could be applied to the parys
trust PROCLAIM Little wonder that certain trust mag
mates are in its f4vor. Appropriately enough, Mr.
Perkins Of the Harvester trust and of the Morgan
interests, is the Third-Termers high priest 1t is
only to be expected that the former President, who
gobble down the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company,
and who has continuously urged rigid centraliza-
ton Of federal power in the hands of the executive
would urge conclusive stroke for monopoly
and the establishment of federal commission whose
members he himself would name
