Yelsor lias Issued another of his unique letters favoring the .candidacy of Theodore Itoospv.lt for president. H urtes his followers to keep at the good work of arranging the big feed when It Is hoped Roosevelt niny he Induced to talk to all over the long distance tele phone. Here Is the letter signed by Telser: "As a committeeman of the republican rnrty I feel that you would encourage Interest In tha party In every way possi ble regardless of whether It Is for La 1'ollette, Taft or Hoosovclt. Whatever Interest may be aroused for any good republican will not be labor lost. Cut If no contests are made, partisans lose their spirit and tha oi position la the gainer. We have great respect for, the following of La Follette and Taft but there are large numbers Of people In Nebraska and elsewhere who favor Roosevelt regard less of expressions about his not want ing the position. In tlus country where all able bodied men are subject to draft for the rank and file of the army, why should we not favor drafting the commander-in-chief in the pa mo way? That la exactly what we are going to do. And this is how 'tis done. "Would like to have vu suggest a good Koosevelt man at )arg and one from your locality who yaj i ink would con sent. If selected, to iK us presidential electors fur Roosevelt "at the April pri maries. We would also like to have you get a few friends together and plan to organise a club for Roosevelt to affiliate with us In whuoplnj it up for T. R, If you cannot do this yourself, you will do the party great service by having some Ivoosevelt supporter take hold of the mat ter and comply with this request, unless It is already being given propel (.Men tion. Taft Is a man pre-emlncntl) quali fied for tha supreme bench and should have that position where ho would be a blaster of law. We feci that although he would recognize a principle of law wherever encountered, he cannot tell a" political schmno or scalawag. On this acoount and because of trusting too much in his supposed Menus he Is not as well qualified for the otfice of presi dent as he would be for tho other po sition. "La Follette, too, is a great man, who will do valiant service In the senate and who will succeed Roosevelt as president. Many people wish his success now as Taft's friends wish luni success. How ever, the question of succers we are In terested In is that of the republican party, which has been progressive since the daj's of slavery. We have praise lor all good men, whether standpatter or progressive. T. R. is the one man, how ever, with whom we can win, and we know ha Is the right stuff. It we' talk other candidates we ' would require con ventlona and discussions and could never agree. There are to be no conventions, bo !fs,' 'ands' or 'buts' about it. This movement Is for Roosevelt or bunt, and we don't live In a busted state. "We desire to have all of the members possible join In a series of banquets con Sected by long distance 'phone. "However, If any are so situated they cannot Join In our little revelry at the banquet, include them as members Just tha same for a sort of Red Cross division to cheer on the discouraged.

A motion was pasred to forward htm greetings at Washington and apprise him of the action of the club, whloh Is com posed of 968 Douglas county, Omaha and South Omaha business and professional men.

Preceding the organisation of the club Mr. Webster was appo.nted chairman and called for speeches from A. W. Jef- fiiis and Judge Ben Baker. Both re sponded with praise for the president and alproval of his administration as thor oughly effective and businesslike. Denouncing the doings of such men as Lincoln Stiffens, whose attempt to plant the belief that he had swayed the courts In the Mc.Nkinara case, was exploded, as rasping discredit on the courts. Mr. Jef lerls declared that the "courts were not designed - to represent either a majority or minority opinion and Judges should therefore not besubject to recall." Presl J. J.

''. ' a first-class cow more than six months I Following judge Baker's address Mr. ago. Hans formerly was a special officer for the Northwestern railroad. The charge against him is grand larceny. More than six months ago Smith missed his bovine, one that he highly prised. He started an investigation and located her on Hans' farm. Not having suffto.ent evidence to charge Hans with stealing the cow. Smith simply started a replevin suit and took possession of the animal. When a sheriff's deputy appeared with a replevin writ Hans made no resistance, but promptly surrendered the cow. He said he had purchased her for $36 and hated to lose the money, but if she was Smith's he was welcome to her. Since then Smith has been trying to secure evidence of theft of the cow by Hana. Webster said that, not excepting minor differences of opinion on lesser issues. ihe republican national committee would ussemble with no other aim than the re nom. nation of 1 'resident Taft. At least two-ihiluB of the repu. JJ.cans of the country would without hesitation endorse him as1 the most logical and the safest and the sanest candidate, he raid. i VXU in conyort I Yf-L Fre&HatVcy pcr$onllyaCjnlucci.

Hev, John MatthVws, pastor First Baptist church, hua tendered restgiiutlon to the advisory board of the chuivh. He Is abniit to submit to an operation which will compel Win to cease activity in church mutters for at least three months. Ho d,-emrd It advisable to resign that the bosrd might be free to secure another pastor at once. The resignation camn very unexpectedly to the members of the church and many express hope that the board will refuse to accept his i-esignatlon, saying they will make provisions for tho currying on of tho church work during Ms absence. Dr. Matthews will occupy the pulpit as usual this morning and evening, Ihrn early In the week will enter a hospital In Kansas City, In the rare of his family physician, for tho operation. F. M. Parsons, cno of the deacons of the church, said In regard to the resigna tion of Dr. Matthews: "Nothing has been done by the board as yet. It was rather unexpected.

That the granting of unlimited credit by the Issuance of notes to guarantee freight charges con stitutes a discrimination under the EHklns anti-rebate law Is the decision of United 8tatea Judge John M. Klllltts In over ruling demurrers to Indictments returned agarrajt the Hocking Valley Railroad com pany, handed down yeeterduy. The Sunday Creek Coal company also Is held liable, for Its demurrers to Indict ments were similarly overruled. The cases, it is said, are to be carried to the supreme court of the United States for a decision. The plan was, It Is alleged, that the Hocking Valley Instead of collecting cash or compelling the Sunday Creek company to deposit bonds or security for payment of freight charges, permitted the coal concern to give Its notes at the end of each month and that the railroad never made any attempt to collect on these, but did collect cash In certain instances. More than $2,466,000 worth of. rebates, it was alleged by the government, were In volved in the "unlimited" credit plan, and that the rival shippers of the Sunday Creek company had to pay cash or file bonds or securities to guarantee payment.

Breen, who drafted tha commis sion plan law, declares, In the face of opposition, that his Intention and the In tentlon of those who assisted him. was to provide that seven men be voted for at the primary. Preparation Is being made to let the courts settle the matter If necessary. City Attorney John A. Hlne haa ruled on the point of law involved, holding that It is clear but seven men can be voted for of the fourteen to be nominated. Dan B. Butler, city clerk, who wilt designate on the official ballots how many shall' be balletted for, says that unless he has fur ther proof he will make it fourteen. While the question of the number to be voted for at the primary is mooted the commission plan law in Its other pro visions Is not Invalidated nor even ren dered obscure by the one clause. The question now disturbing the legal profes sion will. If the plans of the supporters of the law go not awry, be settled In time to prevent It being made cause for dis sension at the primary, Wrestling Copper s BackinMatGame C. A. Jensen, the big heavyweight policeman wrestler Is coming back Into the mat game. He secretly has been getting himself Into shape at his home, where he haa fitted up a gymnasium. The fact that Jensen haa been preparing to get back into the game came out at the wrestling match Friday night, when he let slip a little statement which caused a few of the knowing ones to wake up. Jensen until last summer waa well known among the grapplers of this sec tion. He was taken sick early last sum mer and had to retire from the game until be regained his strength and condi tion. That he Is In good condition Is certain from the fact that he weighs five pounds more than he ever weighed be fore and Is as hard as nails. Prior to his sickness Jensen was reputed to be a comer among the heavyweights, hav ing made a good showing against Wester- guard alter being In the game but a short while. He has taken on such men as Bill Hokuf, Paul Domke, Farmer Bums and several other ones and got the beet of the argument In many instances. When asked whether he was gplng to come bock Into the game Jensen said he was preparing himself for that purpose and declared he never felt better In his life. After a few more weeks ot har training, he said, he will be prepared t take on any of the bunch. Jensen 1 well known In Omaha, having been i tho police force for several years. It Is a fearless and quiet man and that knows something about the game can b testltlid to by several bad men who hav been quieted by him at police heuu-quarters. Don't sscy "Beer"!
