ROOSEVELT
BARS HANNA
In His Political Machine
—No Room For Mark
6REAT NATIONAL CHAIRMAN.
He Managed Two Victorious Cam
paigns, But Must Now
STEP ASIDE FOR A MAN OF
Roosevelt's Choosing—Hanna's
Turn Will Come.
Atlanta, Nov. 26.—The Constitu
tion has this from Wasshington:
While the recognition of the Ad
dicts faction in Delaware by Presi
dent Roosevelt was a great surprise to
the public at large, it was not a
surprise to those who have kept an
eye on the machine-building which
has been going on in Washington,
The frame work of the Roosevelt
machine is now practically complete.
It won't be adjusted entirely until
*€h« president has received his nomina
tion a year and six months hence, but
it is sufficiently in place to give a
fairly good idea of its proportions and
of its individual parts.
One fact stands out plainly. There
| is no place in the Roosevelt machine
for Mark Hauua who kept a tight
I rein on the republican organization
while McKinley was president.
Mr. Hanna will have to step aside
for some one to be designated by Mr.
Roosevelt.
Payne, at present vice chairman of
the republican national organization,
! and James S. Clarkson, formerly of
Iowna, but now collector of the port
| of New York, are the leading wssi
bilities for Mr. Hanna's job.
Both are political manipulators,
whose shrewdness has been their chief
recommendation. The selection of a
national chairman comes after the
nominattiou. and while it is possible
for many changes to take place in the
■- time that must elapse, it is even now
a choice of Payne or Clarkson.
Senator Hanna regards with calm
I indifference liis passing as a political
manager. The Hanna machine victo
rious in two presidential campaigns,
now exists in name only. Mr. Hanna
I might have asserted himself, held his
power, and control even to the extent
of preventing Mr. Roosevelt's nomi
■ nation. The fact that he did not do
so did much toward the disintegration
of liis machine.
Wherever the Hanna machine lost,
I the Roosevelt machine gained. Be

THE BOSS KICKS BACK.
The managing editor of our other
paper, the Vicksburg American, re
cently referred to the inferior quality
of the majority of newspapers in Mis
sissippi. He seems to forget that it's
much easier for a man to run a good
newspaper on some other man's money
than it is on his own. From our way
of thinking the papers in Mississippi
are far superior to those in towns of
equal size in other states, especially
when it is considered that half of the
population in our towns are negroes
who do not read. With very few ex
ceptions every paper in Mississippi
does credit to the town in which it
is published. The American is infe
rior to many other southern dailies,
but it is just as good as the condi
tions will permit, and as the condi
tions improve so will the American.
It takes a very liberal patronage to
make a good newspaper, and a man
who undertakes to do $2 jobs for fl
with the expectation of getting rich
might well be put down as having
exceedingly poor business judgment.
What the papers in Mississippi need
to make them better is better patron
age and prompt cash settlements fqr
the service rendered. Freo tickets to
church festivals, theatres, etc., and
stale wedding cake will not pay the
printers or a bill for paper.—Colum

TH PRESIDENT
AND LEADERS
Of Republican Party
Held a Conference
TO DISCUSS TRUST MATTERS
The Anti-Trust Legislation to Be
Pushed Steadily,
BIT VERY CONSERVATIVELY, UNTIL
Something is Done Either at This
or a Called Session.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 27.—As a
most magnificent result of the confer
ences between President Roosevelt and
the republican party leaders in con
gress, there has come a general under
standing that anti-trust legislation is
to be pushed steadily but conserva
tively from the opening of congress
until something is done.
The president did not say so, but
all of his advisers came away with
the idea that he had set his heart
upon some kind of trust legislation,
and they were led to believe that if
nothing was accomplished at the pres
ent short session he would be more
than likely to call an extra session
early in the spring.
No general conference was held at
the white house yesterday afternoon,
but the president had a series of indi
vidual talks with Senators Allison,
Cullom and Fairbanks, Speaker Hen
derson, prospective Speaker Cannon,
and several well known members of
the house and senate.
A majority of those who called ex
pressed the opinion that, while it is
in the range of possibilities for con
gress to enact some trust- legislation at
the chances are
the present session,
that nothing will be done in this
experience has
direction because
shown that no bills effecting grave
interests are ever pressd at the short
session in the face of opposition, and
it is well known that there is plenty
of opposition to any action against
the trusts.
Naturally the president would not
declare his intentions as to an extra
session at such an early day, but it
evident that he will not hesi
seems
tate to^all congress together soon
after March 4, if the indications point
toward the passage of some such bill
as he is enthusiastically urging.

A TRAIN
PLUNGES
Down an Embankment
On the Big Four
AND A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT
Is the Result
St. Louis Flyer
Ditched by a Broken Rail
AND ENTIRE TRAIN IT IS REPORTED
Ran Into a Corn Field, Killing
/Many People.
Indianapolis, Noy. 28.— The. St.
Louis flyer on the Big Four, which
left Indianapolis this morning at
12:05, is reported to be a total wreck.
At 1:80 o'clock this morning the
train struck a broken rail, one-half
mile west of Avon and live and one
half miles west of here. At this point
the road runs along a high fill. The
entire train, it is reported, plunged
down the fill and is now in a corn
field, a pile of ruins.
A message was received here from
Danville at 2:20 o'clock this morning
asking for all possible medical aid,
and eight or ten physicians where
summoned. They, with superinten
dent Van Wiuklq, .of the Big Four,
left for the scene on a special train at
3 o'clock.
A telephone message from Danville
at 2:40 o'clock stated that all availa
ble physicians from here had been
called to the wreck, and no word had
been received further than that the en
tire train was in a corn field at the
bottom of a steep embankment, and
there was no doubt a great many were
injured. It was not know there were
any dead or how many were injured.
In railroad circles at Danville the
belief was general that the loss of life
must necessarily be heavy.
The wrecked train left the union
station in this city for St. Louis at
12:05 o'clock this morning. It con
sisted of one sleeping car from Cleve
land which came in over the Big
Four at about the same hour, another
sleeper from. Cleveland which arrived
earlier in the night, four cars from
Cincinnati, two of which were com
bination cars. The train was almost
filled with passengers when it left
hore. The first word of the wreck
were received here from the trainmas
The Briglitwood
ter at Mattoon, 111.
wrecking train was ordered out and
two special cars were made up to fol
low.
These special cars contained
Superintendent Van Winkle, Of the
Big Four, and eight or ten physicians.
General Superintendent Van Winkle
said as soon as he reached the union
station:
"It looks pretty bad to me. There
must be a good many hurt or they
would not want so many physicians.
At 3 o'clock, as Superintendent Van
Winkle was boarding the tarin to
leave forv Avon, he received this mes
i»
sage from Danville:
"Four
Send
sleepers derailed,
three sleepers to transfer passengers.
Superintendent Van Winkle said
he thought from this the wreck was
not so bad as he feared at first.

At
3:40 the wrecking train arrived from
Briglitwood and immediately left for
the scene of the wreck.
General aorgeon Ford of the Big
Fonr with a corps of physicians, were
on the train.
