100000 BOND
CONTINUED from page IL

of the objections that the voters would
raise to the attempt to put over such
a huge bond issue under pretense Of
the impending danger caused by the
present condition of the South side
bridge. MI. Wiegel further pointed
out that the saving that might posi-.
bly, be made by taking up the out.
standing bond issue and re.bonding at
a better rate of interest would be
more than offset by the increased
cost OF building now while the price
Of steel was at the highest point II
has been for years.
Wiegels motion when put to a vote
resulted in a tie Of the members pres.
emit. the vote being ten for and ten
against tabling the project. Many OF
the members wishing to reach their
homes by six o'clock had left before
the vote was taken. The motion to
approve the proposition Of the Boaro
Of Affairs was voted upon Immediately
following the tie vote to table 1t, and
resulted in a vote Of IL for 4 against.
The meeting adjourned at this point.
Many OF those who voted favorably
the bonding project were OF the
opinion today that the proposition
would be considerably changed be-
fore 1t Is submitted to the voters.

struck by It at each r%evoluation.
he was hurried to Fairmont Hos.

MAY SELL COPPER
ON COURT HOUSE
County Court Receives a
Proposition From Roof
ing Firm.

A new roof for the seat of Justice
of Marion county was the chief topic
of discussion by the County Court and
hey are planning to trade the old cop.
per roof for n new roof OF another
kind. 1t seems that the old roof has
been leaking moro or less for the
last ten or twelve years and the wa.
ter comes through and falls on the
Just and the unjust. 1t spells the deco
ratlons on the walls and the health
OF the inmates Of the court lpuse.
The roofing firm, Kisner Bros, made
a proposition to place q new roof
Of Barrett Specification material and
pay the county a bonus in exchange
for the old copper roof. Copper at
present is very valuable for other pur-
poses besides roofs. No decision In
this matter was made and the subject
will be taken up again next week at
the regular session

EXPECT CLOCK TO
SHOW $4,000

Optimism, enthusiasm, good fellow
ship and good will reign supreme today
at the headquarters OF the Presbyter-
Ian congregation in the First National
Bank building, where a campaign to
secure the sum of $4,000 is being
waged.
The building Is a veritable hive Of
industry and the prominent men Of the
congregation r legion in pushing
forward TO the limit the campaign TO
secure funds toward the construction
o ia $4,000 church in which this con-
gregation and its friends will wor-
ship.
Each OF the eight teams engaged In
the work Of raising the fund is dying
for supremacy and 1t is difficult to
even predict which team will be the
banner team when the work is round
ed up on Friday evening.
Leaders in the movement today arc
confident that the hands on the big
clock will be moved at eight o'clock
tonight TO the SIS, 900 mark. I'VE must
have that sum by this evening"" was
the remark Of one O fthe leads Of the
campaign.
The work Of the teams yesterday
exceeded the fondest expectations OF
tn leaders, the sum OF S22,S34.00 hav-
Ing been secured, exceeding by &c..
$4,000 the mark set for the days Ia.
bors. The mark to be reached today
will be approximately $4,000 and when
the hands Of the clock r moved to-
night 1t is the belief Of those closest
in touch with the movement that they
will point to the sum Of $500.
The eigh teams are under the direct
leadership Of two OF the prominent
citizens Of the city, .Messrs. J.. NJ.
Hartley and A. B. Fleming and con.
siderable rivalry exists between these
teams for supremacy. In the canvass
yesterday the division lead by ]. NJ.
Hartley was the banned division and
reported the sum Of s673O.OO while
the team generated by Gov. Fleming
showed a sum total Of S2354!0. The

nent men of the congregation reported

FOREIGN POLICY OF PRESIDFN7
WILSON is ATTACKED BY
COLONEL ROOSEVELT

Louisville, Oct 1s--That President
Wilson had known and enunciated the
proper principles to follow at the out
set Of the European war, and that they
had been reiterated in the Democratic
platform, but that they had not been
followed out, was declared here last
night by Theodore Roosevelt, who us
ed the term hypocrisy" to describe
the foreign and Mexican policies of
the national executive. He criticised
the president, Colonel Roosevelt said,
because he considered 1t his duty as
an American citizen.
Colonel Roosevelt scored the admin
istration for failure to carry out its
pledges" declared that one of the
presidents supporters had said the
Democratic platform was ito get in =
to office on" and deplored the mental
attitude to be induced by such a state
ment. The speaker said President Will
son, instead of speaking softly and
carrying "A big stick spoke "bombas.
tically and carried q dishrag."
Quoting a message OF Andrew Jack
son, to the senate in which truth and
justice were cited as the only proper
restraints in criticism of presidents by
the people. Colonel Roosevelt said:
This lays down the law that should
be followed. There must be truth and
justice in all that is said of the presi-
dent, or of anyone else; but less than
any other one man in the United
States has he the right to claim i'm
munity from any criticism that is just
and truthful. / criticise President
Wilson because his deeds have belied
his words. and his words have belied
one another.
HIS PROMISES BROKEN.
"Mr. Wilson's promises before cleo
tion, both those made in his own
