IS quite possible that I shall return to

and he did not dodge the suggestion.
"Good will overcome the defeat,''
he continued, "if defeat is met. We
are going to plead for the brotherhood
of man. Government has another duty,
another power, another function than
commercializing itself. We must have
a government that shall establish
equality between all men and women if

duty.

against the eight Roosevelt electoral
candidates. nominated at the recent
state wide primary.
Tho contests are In tho form of OBJ

These are the grounds:
That Roosevelt is not a Republican.
That he is not in sympathy with Re

That he had his name printed On the
Republican party primary ticket by
fraud.

While the fire was extremely fierce,

A thousand employees, q majority OF

promptly and without panic. Tele-

The FIRE started at O'Clock this

filled with thick smoke. The building
sustained no structural damage, but the
losses to cables and instruments and
furniture were heavy, the furniture suf

building.
The entire bridge brigade Of the east
end Of London soop WAS on the scene

the fire was over. The Lighting appar-

Thousands of wires underneath the
floors had fused and the fremen were
forced TO tear up part OF tho floors to

the officials congratulate themselves.

TATASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The
NM proposal to summon Colonel
Wv Roosevelt TO testify before
the special senate committee
on campaign contributions was not con-
sldered by the committee today. The
committee, however, it was given out,
will look particularly into the Penrose.
Archbold~Roosevelt controversy over
Standard Oil contributions to the 1904
Republican war chest.
Plans to transfer the hearings to New
York were abandoned and dates of fu-
ture hearings were left for decision
until the senate acts on the Penrose
resolution directing investigation Of
Standard Oil contributions and the
Reed amendment directing investiga-
ton of 1912 contributions. The senate
was expected to act today on these
measures. A majority is said to be in
favor of resuming the inquiry in Sep
tember instead of proceeding at once
Committee Meets Early.
Spurred by the testimony of John D.
Archbold, alleging that the Standard
Oil company contributed 100000 to the
Republican national committee in 1904
with the knowledge and consent of
Theodore Roosevelt, the committee met
carly today to lay plans for pursuing it's
investigation.
Senator Luke Lea, Democratic mem
Der Of the committee, hurrying back
from the west, arrived early today and
went into executive session with his
colleagues to frame course Of action.
IT is practically decided that George
W. Perkins will testify Tuesday.
Some Of the senators want to recall
George B. Cortelyou. chairman Of the
Republican national committee of 1904.
He told the senate committee recently
that neither the STANDARD Oil company
nor any one associated with it contribu-
ted to the Republican fund that year.
Mr.. Archbold yesterday declared the
STANDARD Oil company's contribution
was fully known both to Mr.. Cortelyou
aud Colonel Roosevelt. The possibilities
Of calling Colonel Roosevelt still are
hazy.

Resolution Enlarged.

When Senator Penrose's resolution was
brought up In the senate. Senator Poin-
dexter proposed that the subjects to be
investigated be extended to include "all
correspond euce between John D. Arch
bold and members OF the senate and Of
the house OF representatives" since 1900.
This amendment was adopted,
Senator Penrose proposed that the
name OF George w, Perleins be included
with that OF Archbold and that the term
"ex-presideuts OF tho United States be
included with the members OF congress.
SIT is suggested, however" he re-
marked. that there is only one living
ex-prcsident and as we are not inter
ested in dead ex-presidents, I wish to
substitute Mr., Theodore Roosevelt-or
Colonel, I believe his title is"
This amendment was incorporated.
Senator Hepburn objected to the VI
Imperative attacks on tho Republican
party and Its members in the senate de-
bate day before yesterday. and declared
that the senate WAS not concerned In the
matter OF what anyone contributed for
the Legitimate expenses Of campaign"
He likewise objected to the attacks on
Colonel Roosevelt,
be said that because he Is now again
candidate for the presidency IL is proper
to begin before this tribunal an effort
to assassindte his character
Senator Hepburn said that the proper
time for such an attack was at the time
when Roosevelt was president, when he
was subject to charges of mafeasapce
and disreputable conduct IN office.

q fat failure of the county fair
some years ago and Sank Centre

Senator Bacon, a democratic
standpat senator, speaking about
the presidential outlook, said
that Theodore, Roosevelt would
surely be nominated by the re-
publicans, hence the democrats
should nominate conservative
to beat him. That's interesting
from two view points. First, it
shows what the standpat Bour-
bons think about Roosevelt.
Secondly, it shows how foolish
some people are. The instru-
ment with which to beat pro-
gressive is another progressive.
If Roosevelt is nominated, con-
sentative would stand less show
ing Of beating him than a snow,
ball would of lasting FIVE minutes
in hades. If TEDDY" gets the
nomination the democrats will
have to put up a progressive TO
make oany kind of - showing.
The sooner Senator Bacon and
his 5ilk in both parties get down
from their high horses and rec
.ognize the fact that the people
are progressive the sooner will
the two leading political parties
take on another lease of life and
be of some practical use to the
country.

If Cyrus Northrop knows when
he is we'll off he will turn a deaf
ear to the syren song of those
who urge him to be delegate
at-large to the republican nation
al convention. He has retired
full of years and honors and
should remain out of the lime
light the remainder of his life.
By getting into the political
game, especially under the chap
eronage of Ed Smith and his
bloomin' bunch of machine ma
nipulators, he has nothing to
gain and much to lose.
