Republic or Despotism Which ? In addressing tho peop'e of St. Louis on Tuesday, President Roosevelt advocated the national control and regulation of Interstate railways. lie advocated also the national control and regulation of industrial corporations or Btock companies which do an interstate business. As an Illustration and precedent of these policies, he pointed to the government's control and regulation of the national banks. Never before within our recollection, lias -such a eweeping declaration come from a president of the United States in times of peace. Never has a graver iseue been presented by an American president even in times of war. Regulate and control all the interstate railroads! Regulate and control all the industrial stock companies doing an interstate business! Regulate and control each, and both classes, after tho manner In which the national banks are regulated and controlled by the federal government today! What does thl3 mean? In Illinois alone, some 25,000 stock companies are doing business today. In the whole United States, the number of such companies hardly falls below a million. How many of these do an interstate business, and, therefore, come under the president's plan of control and regulation from Washington? According to the president's idea, the number must be at least three-fourths of the total. For, as was set forth In the Roosevelt-Beverldge child labor bill, and was expounded at length in the Senate by the senator from Indiana, all factories producing articles which are exported beyond state lines are to be regarded as subject to federal control and regulation under the Interstate commerce clause of the constitution. Think of it! Seven hundred and fifty thousand stock companies, transacting practically three-fourths of the business of the United States, to be licensed regulated and controlled, even to a listing of their stock, by a department at Washington! Seven hundred and fifty thousand stock companies to be examined by federal examiners, to be Inspected by federal inspectors, to be picked and chosen for reprobation, dictation, or extermination by federal officials, and to be supervised or administered after the manner of a national bank in case of insolvency! Think of it! There are only 6, COO national banks in the United States! There are 730,000 stock companies subject to the operation of this gigantic plan! An army of inspectors, examiners and receivers, as large as the standing army of the United States! A bureau in Washington as large as the pension office and the Army and Navy departments combined! Tens of thousands of men and tens of millions of money and such a vest and Intricate machinery as no country on earth has even ventured to approach for its every purpose or all purposes com. bined! Yet how trivial these causes as compared with their effect! By means of this vast machinery, this standing array of inspectors, this plentitude of governmental power in Washington, any president in the White House would be able to reach his hand to the uttermost part of the United States, place his index finger upon any crossroads stock company that might exist in the smallest hamlet, and decree, as the comptroller of the currency today decrees, whether this American citizen or that American citizen should continue in business or should be plunged into bankruptcy and ruin. "Cut the courts." some one may say. Tho reply is too apparent. To a business man whoso going concern has been crushed before his eyes by a government order, a court offers nothing ;but justice only justice and nothing more, for no suit for damages can lie against the government of the United States. Ha may walk from a federal court with his vindication in his hand, but will still bear on his brow the stamp of financial ruin. Is this fancy? Is this a far-sought example? Alas, no. We have only to -turn back to the experience of tho packers of Chicago to realize that the concentration of such stupendous power In the hands of the central government, that the possibility, yes, the probability of its being exerted In the manner in question, has been not only contemplated, but has been specifically Intended by the president on the lines laid down in his St. Louis speech. Any" man who will look back to the history of the meat inspection Mil will recall that the conflict which raped around that measure, between the president of the United States and the House of Representatives, did not turn on the question of a closer federal inspection or the payment of the cost of that inspt-ction. It turned on the issue whether or not there should be vested by law in the Lands of the president's

appointee, namely, the Secretary of Agriculture, tho power to closo tho packing-houses of Chicago on his mere say so, and to keep them closed until the owners could secure a decision by the due and laborious process of the courts. In the face of the president's public declarations that he would, or would if he could, put the Chicago packers in the penitentiary, their struggle to protect themselves from arbitrary executive orders was regarded, and regarded rightly, as a struggle of life and death. And when one thinks of the vast resources and material power in the hands of the Chicago packers, when one contemplates the apprehension and desperation with which they viewed a struggle with a Department of Agriculture armed with despotic power, it is easy to realize what chance one ordinary stock company of the 750,000 would have before the upraised hand of executive power in Washington, if ever the president's era of universal executive control and regulation should overwhelm us. Why does the president seek to make the president of the United States the absolute lord over Industrial life and death? Why does he deem it wise to give one American citizen the ability to reach into every nook and cranny of this country's commerce and finance, to compel homage or support from every man of power between the Atlantic and Pacific, to smite all opponents back into impotence and beggary, to raise all friends into wealth and power, and thus tc constitute, if he have but the will, a self-perpetuating regime which all the parties and party organizations that the country has ever seen would not be powerful enough to overflow which would, in fact, realize here in the United States, a despotism of which a Russian Czar never dreamed for the simple reason that he did not have in his dominion any such machine as that which the federal control and regulation of 750,000 corporations would place absolutely and irrevocably in the hands of the chief executive? The president answers this question. It is to arrest or anticipate or prevent "industrial chaos." "Industrial chaos!" Ominous phrase not because the evils of industrial life today are really due to industrial chaos far from it. Where they exist they are due rather to overorganization and it needs but a statement of the fact for the truth to be recognized. But "industrial chaos" is a phrase which, from the mouth of a president of the United States, must strike a chill to the heart of every man who knows the origin, growth and maturity of modern socialism. "Industrial chaos" was brought into the world of political agitation byMarx, Lassalle, Engels and Rodbertus, the socialists who, half a century ago, founded and fathered the militant socialism of the Europe of today. The phrase has come down from one generation of socialists to another, always the shibboleth of those who would turn the constitutional liberty of modern times into tho compact slavery of the socialistic state. And the same words today roll from the lips of a president of the United States, and for the same purpose, namely, to justify the transformation of industrial liberty into industrial servitude, and the sacrifice of all the ideals of constitutional freedom on the altar of an industrial despotism. "Industrial chaos!" The phrase has been bandied about by every socialist agitator in Europe from Engels to Liebknecht, from Marx to Bebel, from Lassalle to Jaures bandied about as an excuse for disrupting the whole present order of society, as a pretext for upsetting tho whole financial and commercial system of today. And now it comes with authority from the lips of the president of the United States as his justification of a plan which would abollish the republic within twenty-five years, bow the necks of 100,000,000 Americans before the face of one autociat in Washington and turn the United States of North America into a civilized wilderness no nation at all, but only a wreck of a socialist's dream. After contemplating such a monstrous proposition, it is ditllcult to realize why this nation was once aroused by the Granger movement, by the greenback campaign or by the free silver agitation of William Jennings Bryan. How trivial, by comparison, today seems a proiwsal to give the nation a 50 cent dollar or printinsr-nress i mor.cyj How infantile the proportion of such a proposition which would merely throw the country into hard times, when compared with a proposition which, if realized, would abolish the republic, personal liberty, Individual initiative, personal success and personal ambition, and leave us, the people of the United States, with nothing but two wreckstrewn shores, and ruin complete industrial ruin stretching out between.

The Hammond football team won their initial game yesterday afternoon at Harrison Park by defeating the Hegewisch. team by the score of 11 to 0. The game throughout was characterized by the fast playing of Hammond and the poor defense shown by the Hegewisch aggregation. It was called at 3 o'clock sharp, Hammond kicking off to Hegewisch. The local boys then held the visiting team down and "Big Bill" Edwards was pushed across the line for the first touchdown. Helser kicked goal, score 6 to 0. The men lined up again and Porta kicked the ball to the Hegewisch team ten yard line, Meyer caught the plk skin and advanced it twenty yards before he was tackled by Geib, the Hammond captain. The visiting team failed to make their ten yard gain and the ball went over to Hammond. This time Helser, the Hammond quarter, made a long quarterback run taking the ball within ten yards of the Hegewisch goal. Smith was given the ball and by good interference took the ball for the second touchdown. Helser failed to kick goal. Score 11 to 0. After making the two touchdowns the local team loafed during the remainder of the game content, with their 11 points. The game was played in 15 and 20 minute halves. Dr. Groman acted as referee and McMahon as umpire. From the outlook Hammond will have one of the best football teams ever turned out and the boys are confident of landing the middlewelgth championship banner of the Chicago Football league this year. No game has been scheduled so far for next Sunday. Over 400 people turned out to witness yesterday's game. The Hammond lineup was as follows: ., Smith and Ports; R. O., Reel; R. T., Flauers; R. E., P. Smith; L. G., Panneenburg; L. T., Murphy; L. E., Geib; Q. B., Helser; R. H. B., Halfman and Edwards; F. B., Ports and Smith; L. II. B., Kingsland. VALPO TEAMI5 SOFT Hammond High School Trims Valparaiso by Score of 31 to 0. Hammond high school 31, Valpa ralso high school 0. Although that was the score, it does not begin to tell the story of the game. In just a few words, there was nothing to it, the local eleven romped through the Valparaiso line or around their ends at will, and if the boys had cared to ex ert themselves the score could have been run up to 50. Coach Allee of the Hammond team was well pleased with the game and said that there seemed to be no doubt but what Hammond would do well this season. The game started by Hammond kicking off to Valparaiso, Wilson caught the ball, which he advanced twenty-five yards before he was tackled by Eb ert, Hammond's left tackle. The Val paraiso team went through for their first ten yards but after that gain, the local team held, and secured the ball. Summers then tried a long end run and advanced the ball ten yards before he was tackled. The half back were sent through the line for small gains until the ball was on Valpo's ten yard line when Elliott was sent around right end for the first touch down, Hunter then kicked goal, score 6 to 0. Hammond again kicked off to Val paraiso and on a fumble by one of the Valparaiso backs, Quigg captured the ball and after a series of end runs he was again given the ball and went

The Do Pauw unirsity football team and a large numr of rooters journeyed to Bloomintrton st Saturday where they clashed with le Indiana foot ball eleven. Tho Indiana university team won the contest with the score of twenty-five nine but this does not tell the hole tale. Indiana won and yet she as defeated, for she had expected to eat the Methodists by a much lartrer score, as she defeated them last year to the tune of fifty-five to nothlntr. The Methodists have a strong team this year and are confident that if the'y met Indiana later on in the season that they ould give her a harder contest than they did. De Pauw showed poor form in the first half, when they let Indiana score two touch-downs and two place kicks, :o their one touch-down. But in the ast half they played as good if not :etter game than the state school team. The score this' half was six to four in favor of Indiana. The game was called at three thlrtv. Indiana kicked to De Pauw who carried the ball back twenty yards, after ne or two plays the ball was lost on a fumble and Indiana smashed through the visitors line for a touch-down. Cartwright going over with the ball. Thev failed to kick goal, score five to nothng. After an exchange of punts In diana got the ball' on the thirtv-five yard line and Krutzsch booted over a beautiful place kick, score Indiana nine De Pauw nothing. Indiana now re ceived the ball and by a series of rdavs carried it to within a yard of the troal lines where they were held for downs. De Pauw kicked off from the twentyfive yard line, Indiana could not ad vance the ball so Krutzsch tried another place kick, score now being thirteen to nothing. Indiana received the kick, but were held for downs on De Pauw's five yard line. Dewey's punt hit the cross bar of the goal posts and Weymire of In diana dropped on it for a touch-down. Krutzsch kicked goal, score Indiana, nineteen, De Pauw nothing. The Methodists were fightine: flercelv and after an exchange of punts secured the ball on the thirty-five yard line. Captain Tucker grabbed the ball -on a torward pass and ran for De Pauw's first score. Tucker failed to kick sroal. No more scoring was done durine- the first half, the final score being, Indiana nineteen, De Pauw five. Last Half Hard Fought. De Pauw went in hammer and tongs, the last half and played Indiana off her feet for a time, securing their only score of the half on a place kick by Captain Tucker. Indiana carried the pigskin to within one yard of De Pauw's goal time after time only to be held for downs. With but two minutes to play Indiana got the ball on tho twenty-five yard line and sent Cartwright smashing through for eralns of five yards at a clip for the last touch down of the game. Krutzsch kicked goal, score Indiana twenty-five, De Pauw nine. Captain Tucker the Star of the Game. Captain Tucker of De Pauw was the star of the contest, his wonderful work netting all of the points for Coach Brown's men. His tearing through and circling ends on offence and tacking like a fiend, were sights to please any lover of foot ball. He will probably make the all state team this year. Coach llrown Well Pleased. Coach Brown is well pleased at the showing made by his team against Indiana and has great hopes for the games yet to come.

WABASH 35, EARLHAM, 0

Cravfordsville Team Play Opponents Off Their Feet in an Exciting Game. I Special to Lake ( ounly Timea.) Crnwfordsville, lnd., Oct. 7. Wabash defeated Earlham in a well played game by tho score of 25 to 0. Earlham started in with a rush ami kept tho scarlet from scoring during the llrt ten minutes' of play, Wabash braced and soon had the ball over for touchdown. The second touchdown was made a few minutes later on a brilliant run by Barns In tho second half the scarlet had tilings their own way and chalked up twenty-live points. Several long runs were made, the most spectacular being made by Hargrave on a seventy-five yard dash through a broken field. Sohl of Hammond played his usual strong game at left half. His punting lias improved in the last week, some of his punts averaging fifty yards. A delegation of I'urdue students were cor the side lines watching the play of the scarlet. They did not gain much hope but instead were impressed with tho playing of the "Little Giants," who meet Purdue next Saturday. The fact that several I'urdue players were present prevented Cayou from using some of his best plays, straight football being used throughout the game. Cayou will not let up next week in the hard work that ho has mapped out for his team. The men will be driven hard in order to keep in shape for Purdue. Wabash stock went up when the score of the Michigan-Case contest was known. That Michigan could only beat Case 9 to 0 and four of those points on a field goal has led the fans to believe that Wabash has a good chance to win from the Wolverines. Tho lineup of Saturday's game Is as follows: Wabash (35). Position. Barlham (0). Pattern Left end Hancock Hess Left tackle Waltsale Bowman Left guard Carroll Brown Center Stanley Watson Right guard Barrett Gipe (Cap.)...H T. .Thistlewaite Cap.) Burn Right end White Hargrave Quarter back Elliott Sohl Left half back Wilson Colbert Right half back. . . .llarrell Glasscock Fullback Wann Referee Siler of Illinois university. Umpire Steel of I. V. Time of Halves 20 minutes. Hammond admirers of the Little Giants are already getting in line-for a place at the Wabash-Michigan game at Indianapolis, Oct. 19. The following Hammond people have already made arrangements to be present: Dr. and Mrs. H. E. Sharrer, Supt. C. M. McDaniel, Carl Griffin, A. Crissman, Ray Catlow, Ray Ames, F. Morris, A. Koch, Will Hastings, Peter Fipley, George Stevens, L. L. Bomberger, Roscoe Woods, Walter Halfman, Harvey Gostlin, Peter Crumpacker. Well, there is not much to say, the doings are over and big noise is about to commence. Tomorrow they will start in to find out which is the better ball team, and the west side park will be the place where the fun will go on. Hughey Jennings heading his fine array of talent, and Frank Chance in the fore of a crowd of as good ball players as ever graced a diamond, taken as a team, will do battle. Overall is said to be a choice for the first game and just which one of tho staff Hughey will send against him is not known. No matter which one goes in the game should make history. Wednesday will see another game at Chicago, according to allotment, and the next three games will be played at Detroit. Then if necessary the Sunday game will be in Chicago, and if the series has not been decided by that time the place for the deciding game will be fixed by the national commission. Both teams have confidence in their ability to win. Nearly every person has a decided opinion at this time on the merits of the teams but from this neok in the woods it looks to me like a final win for Detroit. I cannot see how the pitchers of the Cubs are going to hold down such sluggers, although they are very fast twirlers. Even if it comes to a slugging bee between the two teams the tigers ought to pull out. Then I look for some good pitching from the Tiger quartet. Just to make it a close finish the Tigers gave away two games to St. Louis syesterday. A number of substitutes were sent in and a couple of unknowns twirled. Hughey himself played in the first and was there with the fielding and a fine two bagger. Bobby Lowe also acquitted himself with credit, getting three hits in the two games. Artie Hofman was injured yesterday in the games with the St. Louis te.am yesterday and he may be out of th world's series championships. He twisted his ankle sliding to third.

"I'm not hurt'" Whereupon the fireman took his helmet off his head and swinging it in the air he exclaimed: "Hurray' Ihilly for you, miss. "I thought you were dead!" CHAPTER XXXVII. It all came out in the newspapers the next day and Marshall Merrleweather was the hero of the hour. His picture appeared in large size in all the papers, showing him in his military cap and cape coat. It was a mystery to Marshall how the pa pers got hold of his photograph, but it was evident they had done so as the cuts were enlarged copies from a group of his class. Hut if Marshall was a hero, Marnie was no less a heroine. Of her there were no photographs it existence, for having their pictures taken was a luxury the orphan children seldom if ever Indulged in. Hut the enterprising newspapers were nothing daunted at this and in the absence of the bonda fide article, the artists made up their own portraits of Marnie, allowing their fancy full rein. I In some of the papers she was shown as fair-haired slender creature, with flowing curls, while one artist depicted her as a grown woman, with her tresses hound into a coil on top of her head, and, arrayed in a low-necked ball-gown. Marshall heard afterwards that the artist who was responsible for this startling creation was intoxicated when he made the drawing, and lost his position the moment the eye of the managing editor detected the Incongruity between the description of Marnie as a fourteen year-old orphan girl, and her get-up as portrayed in the alleged portrait. But the papers did not stop at printing what purported to be por traits of the principal personages of the fire. They had hair-raising pictures represting Marshall with Marnie In his arms, and others showing Marnie herself in the act of letting Bertha Baker oue of the window by means of the pulley and rope. The story of the fire had been faithfully told as to general detail in almost all of the papers, whose reporters had Interviewed both Mar shall and Mamie's bravery and coolheadness. The papers told how Marshall, upon entering the burning building after he had lain unconscious in the grass for a few minutes, was just ahead of the crash when the forward portion of the roof caved in. Those who had seen him enter had given him up for lost and his escape was little less than a miracle. He had heard the crashing of the timbers immediately over his head and by a bound just cleared that part of the floor which was carried down with the falling debris from overhead, as the roof and intervening floors plunged downward. The rear stairs had not yet been touched by the flames, and up them Marshall groped his way blindly, not knowing where to look for Marnie. But kindly providence guided his footsteps, for after searching on the other stories, and calling to Marnie, he reached the fourth floor just in time to hear her call his name. It was his entrance that had caused the rush of flames into the empty lumber room and It was th,en that Marnie had fainted without realizing that a deliverance was at hand. Before she revived,. Marshall had succeeded in attracting the attention of the firemen, for reinforcements, had arrived and a lead of hose was being carried around to to the back of the building. Thus it came to pass that the rescuing ladder was raised, just at the critical moment. In the meantime, Bertha Baker had been discovered lying where she had fallen, and had been removed to the ambulance and taken thence to the hospital. Her injuries were pronounced not dangerous although quite painful. Mrs .Weber, when she came to In the drug store In the early stages of the fire, insisted upon returning to the asylum to try to aid In the rescue of her charges, but was detered by those about her, who told her the firemen had arrived and were doing everything in their power to save the children. The neighboring houses were j thrown open to the use of the home less orphans who could not be cared for in the other asylums, and within a day or two the directors had found a temporary dwelling of their own for all the children. When the heads were counted the morning after the fire. It was found

A story for Youn Folks Dy MARION EEA1H FREEMAN r t0 ucte with the County limes, giving impressions of it. that not ono of the childrea had perished, although It was at first supposed several had met death when the roof caved in. Tho excitement had left Mamie in a very weakened condition, and the smoke she had inhaled made her Quite ill. Marshall insisted upon having her taken to a private hospital where she would be given the nest or care for a few days, before she returned to the school. But a pleasant surprise was awaiting Marnie. On her last day at the hospital some callers were announced. "It is a gentleman and a lady and a young girl" the nurse said. "They did not give their names, but asked you were able to see visitor:?. I rt a v ... . . mem 1 tnouglit you were, but would inquire first if you cared to adrait them. "Who can it be?" wondered Marnie, as she waited for her callers to appear. When Ehe cried "come in!" in response to a low tap on tho door, the latter was thrown open and who should appear but Mr. and Mrs. Methven and Doris! "It is worth suffering all I have gone through, just for this," . said Marnie after the first greetings were over. Doris was equally overjoved at seeing Marnie once more and Mrs. Methven. with scarcely a trace of the illness to which Doris had referred In the letter, kissed Marnie fondly, and putting her arm about her as she sat up in bed, propped with pillow, she said: "My pf)or dear girl, what a lot you have been through since we saw you, and how nobly you have acted." Marnie flushed with pleasure. Mr. Methven, too, had lots of kind words for her, and before leaving he had made all the, arrangements to have her transferred on that very day to his own home. Doris stayed with Marnie until the carriage arrived for her and during the interval she told of the wonderful change that had been wrought in her mother's condition. "It was not two days after I wrote to you last," she said "before mamme began to pick up. She suddenly be came more cheerful and on the third day she announced that she wanted to come home. She said she knew that someone needed her here, and yet she did not seem to worry. Papa and I were delighted, but hardly dared believe she would continue in thl3 cheerful frame of mind.
