TOWNE A SCURRYING RAT
Says Rough on Rats Drives
Him to Opponents.
CALLS JEROME CROTON BUG
Independent Leader Says Demo
cratic Housecleanlng Scares
Wary Old Rata Into Re
publican Ranks.
BUFFALO. N. Y., Oct. 6. (Special.)
Swaying an audience that filled Conven
tion Hall tonight up to the last pitch of
enthusiasm. V. R. Hearst made one of
the bitterest personal attacks ever heard
in any state campaign on ex-Judge Alton
B. Parker, the last Democratic candidate
for President. Characterizing him as a
'political cockroach." he followed
it up with attacks on H. H. Rog
ers. Charles A- Towne. Thomas F.
Kyan. District Attorney Jerome and oth
ers heretofore classed as Democrats, and
made It plain that from now on the most
bitter personalities are to be used by
him In assailing those who are not favor
able to his candidacy.
Incidentally, Hearst declined to inter
fere In the Erie County situation, where
the Independence League has a ticket in
the field, thus making It plain that he In
tends to continue his action against the
old - line Democratic "bosses" in the
state. To a committee which urged him
to have the Independents withdrawn
Hearst announced that he saw no reason
to Interfere, as the voters could be the
Judges of the qualifications of the can
didates for office. This further compli
cates the already badly mixed situation
in this state.
Hearst said In part:
Drive Out Bats and Roaches.
The Independence League and the Demo
cratic party nave been cleaning house, and
out of every dark bole and corner come po
litical cockroaches and corporation Croton
bugs and wary old riti of Wall street that
swarm Into the Republican establishment
next door. We are not orry to see them
so. W Are house-cleaning In order to make
them go. and they go because they hate the
bright light of publicity and the pure air of
honesty. No sooner had the Democratic
disinfectant filtered into the nooka and cran
nies of our political edifice than Judge Park
er scrambled out of bis corporation corner
and scuttled Into the corporation estabtlfh
rr.ent across the way.
Until now I have described Parker as a
typical corporation attorney, a- man who can
hold any opinion on any subject or argue
any side of any case, the attorney who In
the election cases appeared for the election
criminals in the court where he bad sat as
chief Judge, and there argued against the
decision he bad formerly rendered, and then
succeeded In securing a reversal of his own
verdlpt, and he did this because the corpora
tions that employed hlra wanted htm to do
so and paid him for it.
Will Not Serve Standard Oil.
I am glad we have driven this political
cockroach from under the sink Into the legal
laundry, where the soiled clothes are washed
by the corporation establishment across the
way. H. H. Rogers, of the Standard Oil
Company. Is one of the principals of the
confederates in the guilty Standard OH sys
tem. That system has become the greatest
financial power In this country by criminal
evasion of law, and Is more responsible for
corruption in our public life than all the
other evil influences la politics. I 6hall be
glad to promote the Interests of all legiti
mate business men. of whom I am one. but
most emphatically I will not serve the large
business that Mr. Rogers represents. And I
am glad that this particular rat has been
driven out of our cleaned house into the
underground passages of the corporation es
tablishment across the way.
Town Mortgaged to Corporations.
No sooner had th Democratic rough on
rat begun to have Its effect than Charles
A. Towne scurried across the floor and out
of the Democratic door. He Is a man who
baa mortgaged himself .to the corporations.
His expressions, therefore, are merely the
expressions of his corporation masters. His
real opinions are In pawn. He began as a
Republican, went over to the Populists, be

KILLS BOY AND RUNS AWAY
Chicago Gripman Pursued by Police,
but Distances Them.'
CHICAGO. Oct. 6. (Special ) With
horses lashed to their utmost speed, a
patrol wagon filled with policemen chased
a Lincoln-avenue street-car through the
busiest part of Chicago today to arrest
the gripman for running down and fatally
injurfng Harry Szredat. a 4-year-old boy.
The bov was dragged under the forward
truck and it was with the greatest diffi
culty that he was extricated. As soon as
his form had been lifted from the track
the gripman started his car ahead at
full speed. Crossing Policeman Boyle
shouted to him to stop, but the order
was disregarded and a summons was
sent to headquarters for aid.
By the time the patrol wagon arrived
the car was- at a distance and despite
a furious chase finally shot through the
tunnel and escaped the pursuers. No
one had taken the car number and the
police have not yet been able to learn
which of the many gripmen was respon
sible for the accident. '

Preserved and Improved Hope
of Future Is in Small Farms.
CHICAGO. Oct. 6 James J. Hill, pres
ident of the ' G-reat Noi thern Railroad,
was the principal speaker tonight at the
banquet given at the Auditorium Hotel
under the auspices of the Commercial
Association. His thema was "The De
velopment of the Northwest," and his re
marks were greeted with added attention
because of the great deal In ore lands
which he closed recently In behalf of the
Great Northern Railroad. David R. For
gan. president of the Commercial Asso
ciation, presided, and the banquet was
attended by about 750 rasmbers of the
association and their friends. Sir Thom
as Lipton was one of the chief guests of
the evening. Other speakers were: "Con
quest of the Pacific." Congressman
George E. Foss; "San Francisco." Ernest
F. Blcknell, who represented the Chicago
Commercial Association in the relief
measures at San Francisco after the
earthquake.
After reviewing the progress made in
the Northwest In the past 60 years. Mr.
H1U said: ;
What About Fifty Years Hence?.
The flrt business and highest dutv ot th
Northwest Is to prepare for the burden ar.d
heat of the coming- dy and to postpone the
lenEthenins of the ehadows that must purely
fall. TVlthln certain limits we may know ex
actly what Is to happen In this country and
the Northwest. If .forces now operative and if
tendencies now active are unchecked. These
briefly, are the certainties ol 'the next SO
veara. supported by facts ascertained beyond
possibility of error. By the middle ot tni
century within the llfetltme of thousands now
living-, our population will be. more than Jiw.
OOO.00O. Where are these people to find profit
able occupation? How are they to obtain the
necessities of life? The question 1 always
pressing upon great cities like Chicago, where
Immigration concentrates.
But these newcomers cannot be excluded
Labor was never as scarce, wages were never
as high as at the present day. We cannot
stop the Inflow or check the natural increase.
We must d?termlne. however, upon an econ
omy different from the present, when our pop
ulation is approaching three time what It was
In 1900. Striking as has been found the con
trast between 1850 and 1000. that between
the present and 1050 will reveal more serious
features.
Exhausting Nation's Resources.
Practically speaking, our public lands are
all occupied. The irrigation of land by the
General Government will do something, but,
when all the present plans are completed. thy
will furnish land for fewer than 1. 500.000
small farms of 40 acres each, or for a popu
lation of T.000.000 or 8.000.000. Our natural
resources have been exploited with a lavish
hand. Our exports., of which we love to
boast, consist mostly of the products of the
soli. Our Iron and coal supplies will begin
to show, signs of exhaustion before 60 years
have passed. The former, at the present rate
of increasing production, will be greatly re
duced. Our forests are rapidly going, our
vast supply of mineral oil flows to the ends
of the earth. We cannot continue to supply
the whole world and recruit our own resources
by the methods of trade that now obtain, be
cause the minerals stored In the ground do
not recreate themselves. Once used, they axe
gone forever.
Must Go Back to Soil.
We shall, with tfse coming millions to
provide for. be thrown back upon the soli,
the only resource of mankind that Is caoable
of Infinite renewal and that offers life for
generation after generation. The period of
ransacking the National storehouse to see what
can be sent over seas and sold must be
changed to an era In which we shall con
sider the preservation and Improvement of
what Is fundamentally our chief maintenance.
For upon the cultivation of the soil all varied
commercial activity. Intrinsic or Intact, is
mainly built; and upon it depend the future
of mankind and the nature and stability ot Its
institutions.
In some things we are going backward.
The soli of the country is being impover
ished by careless treatment. Forests are
cut down that the sun may bake It. and the
floods scour It ihto the ocean. It has been
cropped with the same grain year after year i
until Its productive power in some of the
richest portions of the country has dete
riorated fully 50 per cent. The census re
turns show an - actual decrease in farm
values In large numbers of the states.
It Is easily demonstrated that a near re
form of methods of cultivation would double
the agricultural production each year, add
ing to the whole country from $5,000,000,000
to $6,000,000,000 to the National wealth:
while the resort to small farms and the
adoption of Intensive cultivation would give
an equal additional increase. These are
possibilities to which necessity will lend a
more pertinent and compelling aspect with
the coming years of the present century.
The costliest error will be In a clinging to
the delusion that we are to continue to In
crease our exports and to live upon the
profits of the foreign market. The time Is
coming when we shall need our wheat crop
for home consumption and seed, when our
mines will not yield, except at Increased
cost, the iron and coal for consumption at
home, and when the cheap labor of the
Orient, whose wages we cannot hope to
meet, equipped with our machinery and
with the patience and Imitative Instinct
there so highly developed, will vanquish all
competition in every market. Though our
trade was unshackled by the legislative
bonds that now prevent ltB natural growth
and free expansion. It would not offer us for
long any other reliance than a broken reed.
Every Nation that enjoys prosperity and
that exhibits a healthy National vitality is
rooted in the soil, and all Its other Indus
tries are clustered . about tillage as the
branches spring from the parent stock that
nourishes them all. To a realization of our
position, to a return to agriculture, to a
Jealous care of our land resources, both as to
quality and quantity, and to a mode of cul
tivation that shall at once multiply the yield
per acre and restore Instead of destroying
productive qualities, we must come without
delay. If we are to escape disaster.
More Transportation Needed.
Next in Importance to the productivity of
the. soli comes that of transportation. Al
ready the growth of our commerce, between
the Mississippi River and the Atlantic coast
finds Itself delayed and hampered for want
of additional railway lines and of terminal
facilities. And throughout the whole coun
try there Is a rising call for more tracks,
more engines, more cars and more trans
portation facilities of all kinds To furnish
what Is required will call for the investment
of many hundreds of millions of dollars to
be furnished from the savings of people of
all classes, and without them the whole busi
ness of the country must suffer Money In
vested In railways expects a fair return on
the Investment and also expects the same
measure of protection, before the law that is
accorded to other property. The enormous
pressure of masses of people seems to crush
out the hope and energy and prosperity of a
large proportion of them: and the great
problem of modern progress, after all. Is how
to deal with this tendency, how to prevent
the forces of advancing social evolution irom
being destructive as well as creative. This
is the problem of the Nation exactly stated,
and it is. In a special sense, the problem of
the Northwest.

It was Just six years ago when Dr.
Doty was a medical student that he
and Miss Allen, then a young-girl, met
in St. Joseph. Mo. The friendship grad
ually grew and broadened. Allen and
his family moved to Kansas City about
the same time Dr. Doty resolved to
go to that city and embark in his pro
fession. Again the young oouple were
much in each others' company. A
year ago Allen brought his family to
St. Louis and Dr. Doty came here and
paid them a long visit. At that time
Miss Allen's, mother says Dr. Doty
was anxious to wed Miss Allen, but
she objected because she thought toer
too young. She was but a little over
18 then.
It Is said Dr. Doty has never given
an explanation for his failure to ap
pear for the wedding.
