Haskell of Oklahoma resigned as treasurer of the Democratic national committee short­ ly after midnight Friday night follow­ ing a protracted conference with Judge Wade of Iowa and Josephus Daniels, director of the Democratic publicity bureau. In his letter of resignation, which was addressed to Chairman Norman E. Mack of the national committee, Gov. Haskell denied the charges made ag&inst. him by William Randolph Hearst and President Roosevelt. He said he resigned in order that nothing should be permitted to cloud the real issues in the campaign and because he desired Mr. Bryan's election. May Sue Roosevelt. Gov. Haskell formally announced, both in his letter and in a subsequent interview, that he would treat his ac­ cusers, including President Roosevelt, as private citizens and would subject them to the penalties of the law. It was gathered from his general statement that he intended to insti­ tute suits for libel against both Mr. Hearst and the president. He charged that Hearst, President Roose­ velt and three Wall street brokers were behind the attack on him. Chairman Mack, with the approval of Mr. Bryan, appointed Herman Rid- der of the New York Staats Zeitung to succeed Gov. Haskell. Haskell's Letter of Resignation. Gov. Haskell's letter of resignation follows: Hon. Norman E. Mack, Chairman Dem­ ocratic National Committee, New York City--My Dear Sir: In pursuance of In­ formation as to your date for return here, when I went home before, I assumed I would find you here upon my return to­ day. I now learn that you will be de­ tained in the east until Tuesday, and as I must be home on Monday I leave to­ morrow. Since the president >nd his cabinet have Joined forces with Mr. Hearst and three Wall street brokers to make a personal fight against me, notwithstanding the president in his answer to Mr. Bryan abandoned his charge about Ohio Stand­ ard Oil cases, yet by all the means at the command of the government and the millions of Hearst and his Wall street allies, they persist In vicious, unwar­ ranted; and untruthful attack on , me. Personally, I welcome their attack, and •hall meet It with all the vigor at my command, I shall treat them all as pri­ vate citizens and'subject to the penalties of the law which they merit. In this I know I shall have the aid of my neighbors at home for all proper purposes; but my time must be free from other demands here. Again, my heart is full of hope for the election of Bryan and Kern. Honest government and rule by the people is at stake. Important beyond any battle at the polls In the last generation is the pend­ ing contest. I would not for one moment consider remaining In any way connected with the committee, therefore hereby tender *ny resignation as treasurer of the Dem­ ocratic national committee, that not the •lightest contest of my own could in any way be used by the president to cloud the sky and shield our opponents from discussing the real Issues and laying bare the Republican duplicity to the people. Sincerely yours, CHARLES N. HASKELL. Bryan Reproves President. Detroit, Mich.--The remarkable spectacle of a presidential candidate •Forest fires are among the regular annual sufferings of the eastern states. The dry weather this year has made the loss unusually heavy in New Eng­ land, New York and other states. Not only valuable timber, but farm houses, planted fields and precious forest loam have been destroyed. Scientific for­ estry and wise legislation are neces­ sary to protect our trees against the combined armies of flames, bugs and unintelligent lumbermen. C/ . The decent element of South Da­ kota seems to be making a struggle to rid the state of its divorce odium. But while the easy ways of loosing the marriage .bond brings a revenue Into the state, the matter will be hard to fight. Temptation should be re­ moved from Btates to make money in this way by a uniform federal divorce law. Until that is done the evil is not likely to be corrected, as one state has always the power to abrogate the laws of another, and people cannot be ftre vented from living where and for Whftt purpose they please. Charles N. Haskell. rebuking the chief executive of the na­ tion for making statements deemed to be unjustified, was witnessed here when William J. Bryan In a letter to President Roosevelt defended Gov. Haskell of Oklahoma, treasurer of the Democratic national committee, against the charge that he had unlaw­ ful connections with the Standard Oil Company. Mr. Bryan serves notice on the president, that as the candidate of the Democratic party "I shall not per­ mit any responsible member of the Re­ publican organization to misrepresent the Democratic party in the present campaign." The letter concludes with the state­ ment that tha Democratic party is making "an honest and honorable" fight in defet-ue of its principles and policies, and expects and will demand honorable treatment from those who are in charge of the Republican cam­ paign." Roosevelt's Hot Reply. Washington.--President Roosevelt, following upon a prolonged conference with members of the cabinet at the White House, prepared and gave out his reply to William J. Bryan, the Democratic candidate, relative to W. R. Hearst'8 charges that Gov. Haskell, treasurer of the Democratic campaign committee, had represented Standard Qfl interests both In Ohio and Okla­ homa. Mr. Bryan had demanded proof of the charges, promising that in the event of their substantiation Gov. Has­ kell would be eliminated from the campaign. Dismissing the Ohio case, which In­ volved an allegation of attempted bribery, with the explanation that he had made no direct charge against Gov. Haskell as regards that particu­ lar instance, President Roosevelt takes up the matter of tne Prairie State Oil & Gas Company, and argues that Gov. Haskell's action in stopping legal proceedings begun by the attorney general of Oklahoma demonstrates conclusively that he was controlled by the great corporation to which the Oklahoma company was subsidiary. Declares Haskell Unworthy. After contrasting Mr. Bryan's de­ fense of Gov. Haskell with Judge Taft's repudiation of Foraker in con­ nection with the Hearst charges against the Ohio senator, the president proceeds to declare that Gov. Has­ kell's "utter unfitness tor association with any man anxious to appeal to the American people on a moral issue, has been abundantly shown by other acts of his as governor of Oklahoma." The president condemns Gov. Has­ kell's conduct in connection with vari­ ous matters as disgraceful and scan­ dalous, and calls special attention to what he describes as "prostituting to base purposes the state university." Bryan to Roosevelt. Milwaukee.--Defending Gov. Has­ kell against the charges which have been brought against him "until the charges can be examined in some court where partisanship does not bias," William Jennings Bryan, Demo­ cratic candidate for president, on his way from Madison tp this city, gave out for publication his reply to Presi­ dent Roosevelt's recent letter, in re­ sponse to his telegram on the subject. Mr. Bryan speaks of the election of Mr. Haskell as governor of Oklahoma, and says that "the constitution was adopted and Gov. Haskell was elected in spite of the efforts of your admin­ istration and in spite of the speeches made in Oklahoma by Mr. Taft." Mr. Bryan charges, among other things, that the steel trust "with your express consent" purchased one of its largest rivals and thus obtained con­ trol of more than 50 per cent of the total output. He asked the president if he will insist that "in permitting this you showed less favor to the monopolistic corporations than I do in opposing it." President Hits Back at Bryan. Washington.:--President Roosevelt gave out a statement Sunday night that severely scores William J. Bryan and the Democratic party. It was called forth by the criticism of the president, Mr. Taft, and the Republic­ an party's platform by Mr. Bryan. In answering Mr. Bryan's claim that the Democratic party will pursue the anti-trust prosecutions more vigor­ ously, Mr. Roosevelt asks a compari­ son of what the two parties have done when in power, pointing out that the last Democratic administration, that in which Mr. Olney was attorney gen­ eral, instituted but four such cages, two of which failed and a third of which was decided by Mr. Taft in favor of the government. In comparison to this is the record of the present administration with its mass of anti-trust and rebate cases, the vast majority of the decisions be­ ing convictions. Haskell Ungently Handled. The last part of the statement is given over to a denunciation of the political life of Gov. Haskell and the manner in which Mr. Bryan accepted the Oklahoman's service and defended him, even after the accusations against him became public. Mr. Roosevelt mentions many of the shortcomings of which he says Haskell is guilty and declares there are many others not enumerated. Those specifially mentioned are: That Haskell, as governor of Ok­ lahoma, gave illegal privileges to the Prairie Oil ft Gas Company, a sub­ sidiary of the Standard Oil trust. That he secured title to town lots in Muskogee, Okla., by fraud, drawing them by the use of a "dummy." Has­ kell now is under indictment on the charge, he says. That Haskell offered a fee of $600 to an Arkansas lawyer if the latter would lobby in the Muskogee council for the passage of a certain franchise and then refused payment, although the franchise was secured. That Haskell dodged payment of a judgment by a New York court for $42,235. and that a sheriff's execution failed to recover but $29.80 of this amount. That Haskell was a member of the Citizens' Alliance, a body formed to fight the union workers and prevent the formation of any defensive body of laboring men. ;i;?: • •' Foraker's Hot Repl|Si ; ̂ Cincinnati.---Senator Porafcfer ^jfe- pared a statement which was made public Friday, replying to the recent charges made by William R. Hearst and President Roosevelt. In addition he bitterly assails Hearst, Taft and the president, charging Taft with con­ sorting with Standard Oil magnates himself and declaring that President Roosevelt's actions indicate a guilty conscience. In the opening para­ graph Mr. Foraker declared that the president showed bias in accepting as true all the charges. He denied that he acted improperly in accepting em­ ployment from the Standard Oil Com­ pany, said that there was no secret about it and produced letters to prove that after the government began its attack upon the Standard Oil, he de­ clined to accept a retainer from them. He charged .that Mr. Hearst, had .other letters in addition to those which he gave out, and that thegje other let­ ters, If made public at the saEpje time, would have shown how harmless was* his connection with the Standard peo­ ple. Taft Answers Foraker. Albert Lea, Minn.--William if. Taft issued a statement in denial ol certain allegations made by Senator Foraker in his statement. The Repub­ lican candidate does not touch on the general defense put up by the Ohio senator, but confines himself entirely to that part of the address which di­ rectly concerns himself. There are two of these charges and they .were denied In vigorous language. Both of them were meant to show Mr. Taft at least was in sympathy with the Standard Oil crowd. The Judge Doyle Incident. As to the first, Mr. Taft says: "Senator Foraker says I recommend­ ed Judge Doyle for a United States judgeship in northern Ohio and the president acquiesced in the recommen­ dation when we knew that he was at­ torney for the Standard Oil Company, and argues that this is a justification for him, while a senator of the United States, in accepting professional em­ ployment from the Standard Oil Com­ pany and in making what was in effect a newspaper partnership with the Standard Oil Company to control an organ df public opinion. "Judge Doyle held no public office and numbered the Standard Oil Com­ pany as one among a number of cli­ ents. I told the president Judge Doyle was a man of high character and a lawyer of great ability and experience and would make a good judge, but ex­ plained what his corporate profession­ al connection had been, and the presi­ dent, as between Doyle and Taylor, also an able man, preferred Taylor and appointed him, not, as I recollect it, for any reason discreditable to Doyle, but because Doyle's many corporate professional associations would make him less acceptable to the public and interfere with his usefulness as a judge." Senator Foraker's second charge, that Mr. Taft accepted favors from a partner of Judge Doyle and a "mag­ nate in the glass trust" while at Mid­ dle Bass Island, Mr. Taft characterizes as ridiculous. He says he was the guest of the Middle Bass club, as Pres­ idents Harrison, McKinley and Cleve­ land had been. Hearst Hits Foraker. Columbus, O.--Senator J. B. For­ aker of Ohio was openly charged here by W. R. Hearst with being an agent of the Standard Oil Company. Mr. Hearst said that after the oil octopus had been driven from the Republican party by President Roosevelt the Democratic party had welcomed the Standard with open anss> and adopted It. Mr. Hearst read a series of letters from John D. Archbold, the Standard Oil man, to Senator Foraker. In these communications Archbold gave in­ structions to the senator in regard to what should be done in pending legis­ lative matters, particularly as to bills affecting corporations, and in two r>f the letters referred to inclosures of certificates of deposit, one for $lfi,- 000 and another for $14,500. Mr. Hearst also read affidavits from Monnett, connecting the1 name of Gov. Haskell of Oklahoma with the alleged effort to bribe him by Standard Oil men to drop his proceedings againftt the company. Further Charges by Hearst. St. Louis.--William Randolph Hearst went after Senator J. B. For­ aker here Strapper than in his Colum­ bus speech. Mr. Hearst first read a letter in which it was said that a certificate of deposit for $50,000 was Inclosed. The letter purported to have been sent to Mr. Foraker and to have been signed by John D. Archbold. . Following this, Mr. Hearst read an­ other letter said to have been signed by Mr. Archbold, in which the Stand­ ard Oil man suggested to Mr. Foraker action regarding a bill introduced in the United States senate by the late Senator Jones of Arkansas. Gen. DuPont Resigns. New York.--Following many rumors on the subject which were afloat here and in Washington, Chairman Hitch­ cock of the Republican national com­ mittee Friday night announced that Gen. T. Coleman DuPont of Delaware, head of the bureau of campaign speak­ ers of the national committee, had re­ signed as head of that bureau and also as a member of the executive commit­ tee of the national committee and that his resignation had been accepted. : SCRAP* NERO. I I WAmPokts - MeW&j CRASH IN FOG; StHKS SHIP FALL RIVER LINER COLLIDES WITH VOLUND. Crew of Latter Craft fl Rescued from Almost Certain Death by Larger Vessel. New York.--The steamer Common­ wealth, newest of the Fall River line's sound steamers, arrived at this port after colliding with and sinking the Norwegian freight steamer Volund in a dense fog off Race Rock, at the eastern entrance of Long Island sound Saturday. The Volund's officers, the captain's wife and crew were rescued and brought here oh the Common­ wealth. The bow of the Fall River liner was smashed above the water line in the collision, but the damages were not considered serious. The collision took place as the steamers were feeling their way through a thick fog. As the two ves­ sels came together the captain of the Volund rushed on deck and assisted his wife to climb upon the Common­ wealth's bow, which had cut a deep gash into the Volund's side. Three members of the Volund's crew also climbed on board the Commonwealth. The steamers then drifted apart, the boilers of the Volund exploded, and she sank. While consternation reigned among the passengers 6n the Commonwealth a volunteer creW of naval men bound from Newport to Washington, com­ manded by Quartermaster ' Webber, manned one of the Commonwealth's cutters, while the Commonwealth's crew manned two other cutters and picked up the captain and 11 men from the Volund who were clinging to pieces of wreckage. One member of the Volund's crew was injured, which constituted the only casualty. BRITISH 8HIP 18 WRECKED.

If there is a sad thing in the world, It Is the spectacle of the men and women who, in their mad scramble for wealth, have crushed out of their lives sentiment and the love of all that is beautiful and sublime. The very process by which they seek to win the means of enjoyment kills the faculties by which they can enjoy. When the average man wins his wealth he finds himself without the power of enjoyment, for the enjoying side of his nature is dead. He finds to hiB sorrow that the straining, striv­ ing life is also a starving one. Important to Mothers.
