AT this time of all times it behooves us to
beware of what Roosevelt stands for. He can
serve particularly well through being so ex-
treme, through making the warkc attitude so
absurd. If he were in the pay OF the peace advo-
Gates he could not do better for them than he is
doing But there is always danger that Some
quick turn OF affairs may release the resentment
and anger that lie in the hearts of men, ever seek
ing for an excuse TO find expression and place
the whole country in state OF mind where it can
be played on by the Roosevelts who find in war
talk magnificent chance of sclf-gfori6cation.
When two dogs fighting it is we'll for
the bystanders to be careful. Good dogs they
may be when they are at peace; but all fighting
dogs are mad dogs. Nations at war are very
like dogs in fight and when they are expressing
long and terrible hatred as England and Germany
are doing, when they giving vent to the vile
passions that go with race antagonism they can
not be expected to fight by the book No fine

BANKER AND WIFE
 STRANGELY SLAIN
 IN SUMMER HOME
Assassin Burns Home, Elf facing Clews and Police
 Find No Motive.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 4.-Who murdered C2l Robert w. Mueller of Gov. Philippp's staff. and his wife in thsir summer home on the shor3s Of Puckaway Lake, Green Lake county, continu2s to be 6 puzzle to the Mil waukee police and State and county authorities cf Green Lake county. Careful examination of the charred bodies, IS they were found in the ruins of tae burned cabin a week ago yesterday, showed conclusivaly that both had been pierced by heavy charge cf bird shot and that their ribs had been shatt red by blows from a club before the house was burned.
 Because Of Co., Mueller's business and social connections great interest has besn aroused in the mystery and a rsw3ld of $200 has been offered for tha apprehension of he murderer. Gel. Mueller was banker and soldier, having besn, for 12 years previous to his appointment to the Governors staff, captain of Troop A cf the National Guard.
 The most tangible clew for the de- teotives, who have already discarded several theories, is the evidence pro duced by X-r3y pho ographs. These show that the upper part of the bodies were fills d With shot and that tn. shot was Ne. | size or bird shot
 Murder Not Planned.
 This. it is pointed ont by the au- horities, leads to the presumption that the crime was committed by Some rson living in the vicinity who did not start cut with the pur- pose to murder the couple. One who came from a distance to do the shoot ing undoubtedly would have had a rifle or used heavier shot. they say.

 "Gentlemen: Your petition. asking that l allow my name to be used as a candidate for the legislature. has the honor all of your have done me ill considering me as worthy of this honor, but after mature deliberation l must decline to accept and in do- ing so will give ny reasons.
 T have the honor to have repre- scented Jefferson county for two terms in the house of representatives,. It has been my ambition to go to the senate. 1 have all along intended to make the race, regardless of whom my opponents might be, but as the time for announcement has arrived, find that l am physically and finan- cially unable to assume the burdens incidental to the campaign. In order to make the race for either place would have to neglect other duties. l have recently assumed the position of president of the State Federation of Labor, and this has entailed a great deal of work, and, besides, l would have to lose time from my daily work, which would entail if nancial loss, that I am unable to bear I have had a great deal of sickness in my family the past year, and to neglect the. postiion from which I make my living and that of my family, l feel is unwise and that it would be an injustice to them and to myself.
 "So, taking al things into consid- eration, l must respectfully decline to accept the call, and in doing so want to extend my heartfelt thanks and deep appreciation to those loya friends who have stated that regard less of what l run for they were Wltf me, and to assure them l regard this highly. shall not be candidate for any publ coffee at this election
