SENATOR
Wisconsin Scion Declares Re-
suits of Tuesday Elections
Show Roosevelt in Decline.

Cautiously and a bit reluctantly,
Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette, of Wis
consin, admitted to a Georgian report
er before he left Atlanta Thursday
that Theodore Roosevelt, South
American jungle hunter, is, in his
opinion, a dead one" politically. If
the Colonel had any political aspira-
lions, he might as well stay in South
America so far as gratifying them
was concerned, thought the pompa-
doured Senator from Wisconsin.
LaFollette did not wish it to appear
that a certain incident of the last
presidential campaign, when Roose-
welt came sweeping along and
grabbed the Progressive nomination
Just as he UaF'ollette) appeared to
have it sewed up, was still ranking
and gnawing within his breast.
What dye mean, Progressive
party?" he replied to an inquiry of
his opinion of that party's future.
do you mean the future of a great
progressive party that is going to be
brought forth for the next campaign,

Big Concerns Oppose Before u,

In 1910 the Interstate Commerce
Commission ruled that railroads

pounds. Since the expiration of this
ruling, some months ago, the rail-
roads have boosted the rae to s1.O5
Will Raise Price of Shoes.
Atlanta shoe companies declare
that unless this rate is reduced by a
resumption of the former ruling, the
price of shoes necessarily will be
raised to cover the additional rate
raise.
The arguments before Special Elk
aminer Mackley will attempt to show
the injustice of the railroads action
in boosting the old rate.
The concerns participating in the
hght are the Orr Shoe Company, rep
resented by ]. K. Orr; Rice Hutchins

men on Duty in indianapolis,
After Peace Plan Fails.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6.-The en-
tire State militia is on the way to
Indianapolis to handle the strike sit
uation. This wa : officially announced
by Governor Ralston's secretary this
morning, who requested that the
newspapers issue no extras announc-
ing the fact because of the undue ex-
element it might cause. This was
agreed to-
Attorney Morrill, Clawson to-day. IN
behalf of labor officials, delivered a
formal protest to Governor Ralston
against calling out troops.
Governor Ralston's decision to call
the citizen soldiery was reached at
midnight after another attempt to in
duce the officials of the Indianapolis
Traction and Terminal Company to
treat with it's striking employees had
failed.
Refuses to Arbitrate.
The last proposition was submitted
to the Governor by President Beatty,
Of the Central Labor Union, who pro-
posed that the street car company
officials receive the striking men
merely as employees and not as union
men.
The Governor submitted the prop
osition to President Robert !. Todd Of
the street car company, who repeated
that the company had nothing to ar
bitrate and that 1t could not consider
such suggestion.
The number of soldiers that will
take charge Of the strike situation
will comprise approximately only
1000 men and officers.
The guardsmen, assembled into one
mass. will be thrown into Indianap-
oils late this afternoon. This plan
was to prevent any preconcerted at
tack by mobs on any particular con-
tingent The troops as they arrive at
the city limits will be held until
all forces are Joined.
The placing Of militiamen on the
streets does not mean the stablisn-
ment Of martial law, according to
Governor Ralston, but martial law
may be necessitated later, it was
stated.
The teamsters' union, according 20
unVerif1ed rumors, NAV call a sympa
thetic strike.
Transfers to Block Tracks.
Many chauffeurs and transfers
we're heard to declare on the streets
to-day that they would use their We
hicles to block any attempt to move
street cars, and if cars moved it
would be over. dead bodies, and
wrecked vehicles These expressions
emanated only from the more radical
synpa thizers Of the striking car men.
The fact that the Governor actually
had called the militia did not gain
general publicity during the forenoon,
and there was no outward indica-
tions of undue excitement.
Several labor union meetings last
night passed resolutions levying as
sessments to financially aid the
street car men.
At a mass meeting at the Colonial
Theater last night leaders OF the labor
men lmplored their men not to
break the law They told the men
that their case was now in the hands
of the people. and that they would
lose the respect OF the people IL they
resorted to acts of violence to gain
their ends.

J. Pierpont Morgan

By the death in Rome of J. Pierpont
Morgan the world loses a man who
for many years had been the fore
most figure in the field of finance.

and abroad, but no one now living
has been so depended on IN times of

business world, but to this nation it.
self, in periods of stress, have been
of inestimable value. He has been
pillar of strength when strength was
most needed. The greater the
emergency, the greater seemed his
ability and readiness to meet it. In
power and foresight in the field in
which he was a master he had no
equal; and always his power was used
to build up, never to destroy.
Mr.. Morgan was, first of all, a
man of character. In taking account
of the qualities that made him one
of the foremost men of his time, so
recognized everywhere, those who
knew him best always spoke of his
absolute integrity. Mere statement
of the fact tells much about him.
His great ability, and the sterling
qualities of citizenship which won
and held respect and confidence, he
had by inheritance. His father,
Junius Spencer Morgan, was man
of the same type.
Mr.. Morgan lived at time when
one of his character and ability was
bound to be tried out. 1t has been
period marked by marvellous bust
ness and industrial development, and
in this work he had a leading part.
Because of his experience, particul-
arly with railroads, he had wander
full insight concerning the develop
ment of railroad properties.
A many-sided man, Mr.. Morgan,
with all his business cares, devoted
much time to art and travel. His
paintings, books, rare manuscripts
and curios formed what was probably
the finest private collection in the
world, and he knew the people being
worth knowing both here and abroad

What Was Happening 80

C. A. Buckmsn has returned to
town,
Some exciting horse races were
had here last week.
The farmers have commenced to
shovel their way through to the
sugar bush; they also express the
opinion that the sugar season will be
short one.
Would itnot be better for the repu-
tation Of our town if the proper au-
thorities took some decisive course
to put stop to the disgraceful, dis
reputable and revolving scenes that
are enacted here when that "soiled
dove" from neighboring town visits
this community? We might add
that these visits have been quite
frequent Of late.
An arbitration case was tried here
on Thursday Of last week and attract
ed considerable attention. The inter-
ested parties were F. S. Cobleigh of
Westmore and Thos. Hurley. Hurley
sued Cobleigh for wages due, and
Cobleigh sued Hurley for the value
of an OK said to have been killed while
under Hurley's care. The two cases
were submitted to three arbitrator,
consisting of Messrs. N. Hobson,
Geo. Fitzgerald and Levi Pinney,
who, after a patient and lengthy
hearing gave their verdict in favor
of Hurley for full amount as claimed
by him.
