On the morning after a rival bakery opened around the corner from his own prosperous little shop, Louis Aufdem- brink, 36 years old, hurg himself to the basement rafters of his shop at 5156 St. Louis avenue. His body was found by his wife when she went to open the salesroom at 5 a. m. Thursday. A note, scrawled on wrapping paper, lay on the storeroom counter. It was not addressed, but Aufdembrink’s fam- ily think that the suicide had in mind his new business competitor when he penciled it. The note read: ‘Wishing you all good luck, your hated LOUIS AUFDEMBRINK.’ Business Was \Presperous, Aufdembrink had CLEAN UP BOTH TICKETS. No matter what the character of its general ticket, how can the Democratic party expect to gain the support and confidence of inde- pendent citizens when it offers conspicuously unfit candidates for the School Board and the House “éf Delegates? How can it consistently stand as the party of good government with @ ticket marred by known opponents of good government, by candidates whose records in office are bad and whose characters mark them as men who if re-elected will menace the public welfare? How can it ask voters to support a party offering candidates for |the School Board who threaten wise and progressive management of | the public schools? The first duty of the Democratic leaders. responsible for the parly’s campaign and for its continued usefulness as a political organi- zation ‘is to clean up the Democratic ticket. Make it conststent from Force off every combine candidate and every candidate whose known character and affiliations endanger the success of the party and the cause of good government. _ On the other hand, what confidence can be placed in the Republi- ‘oan professions of reform when the party’s general ticket, already too heavily weighted with, machine influence, is marred by the candidacy of Koetn for the collectorship? Assuming that the nominations for the House of Delegates represent reform, of what avail ia it to oppose House combines and elect to one of the most important offices in the affiliations mock professions of reform?

At 1 o’tlock this morning the fall of snow had amounted to two and gne- haif inches, the temperature was 28 and the wind was blowing 24 miles an hour, considerably less than it tad been earlier. The snow was falling steadiiy and was being whiried in ail d.rections by the wind. The streets and sidewalks were covered with slush and were al- most impassible. In spite of the conditions the visitors were forced to the streets because of the lack of room in hotel offices and parjors. ° With their wraps adjusted, iney sallied fofth, but could see litle in the streets except the snow and other miserable sightseers. All Wires Dewn for a Time. Trouble with the telephone and tele- graph wiresibegan early and by 6 o'clock only one wire was working out of Washington. That was to the W'est and about 8 o’clock it broke down. The trouble was due to the heavy clinxzing snow which loaded the wires until they snapped, often falling across other wires and putting them out of commiss:on. Scores of trains were due in the early morning hours, but not one arrived and the great Union Station was de- serted except for railroad men and in- quirers for friends they expected. The railroad men could only say that they ‘knew absolutely nothing. Trains that had been heard from late last night at Philadelphia had been lost. It was imppssible to get word to Baltimore nd it was not known what had become of trains that departed for the North ‘ast night. Trains that were scheduled co leave this morning were held because of lack of orders and there were few who wanted to ride In them anyway. About 1500 visitors who arrived late last night slept or remained awake in the Union Station, being unable to reach hotels or the homes of friends. Trolley car traffic was abandoned after midnight and for most of the forenoon the service was spasmodic. Hundreds of Washingtonians remained at home because of the uncertainty of reaching downtown on the street cars. There were many minor accidents due to slipping on the icy pavements and several pedestrians were hurt by limbs xlown from trees. Storm Decreases in Force, After 11 o’clock the storm. apparentiv began to. lose its force. The snow was still falling, but the wind was not so strong. Just before noon the sun began to shine fitfully, though the snow, light and powdery, continued to fall. With the cessation In the force of the storm the thousands of visitors began ms appear in the streets. They tramped swirling along the streets or collecting | ‘in @rifts in sheltered spots. For hours changes were to be made in the pro- sTram. The decorations were ‘bedraggied by the storm and added to the dejected ap- pearance of the visitors. In spite of their discomforts and their aspect of woe the sightseers showed considerable g00:! temper and they braved the slush on the streets and the snow in the air with commendable pluck. ; i eeneneelieeneeall Wind 52 Miles en Hour.

LONDON, March 4.—Resolutions con- sratulating William H. Taft upon his assumption of the presidency of the United States and expressing the good Will of the organization to him and the American people were passed today by the London Chamber of Commerce. Similar action wag taken by a number of commercial bodies throughout En- giand, The general feeling throughout En- gland, ag expressed in press comment and by the public, is that America is entering upon a progressive era under Taft’s leadership. It is believed that in the main the “Roosevelt policies’ will be continued, but with less santag- mism between the various elements of ‘he Amertéan people, due to the recog- ized d'plomacy of the new President. ‘The press does not forget the outgoing “resident in its laudation of his succes- ‘or, The Westminster Gazette Roosevelt certainly contrived to give “is countrymen a good shaking up and adds; ” “We, of this country, are able to look sack on Mr. Roosevelt’s presidency as a time of increasingly good relations be- tween ourselves and the United States. We are content to leave to his own people the verdict upon his domestic achievements. He certainly will receive a hearty welcome when he pays his promised visit to England.” “We are too near Mr. Roosevelt to judge him in the proper proportions,” says the Evening Standard. ‘Time alone can give the proper perspective to the ‘nan.

He bas received the best education, enabling him to place his feet in the marks made by slants. f° PARIS, March 4.—The papers of Paris today gave much space to the inaugura- tion of William H. Taft and the refire- ment of Theodore Roosevelt. The con- census of opinion is that Mr. Roosevelt has had a remarkably successful -and picturesque career; that hé has aroused the moral force of the United States and internally has filled an tmportant role on the world’s stage; although he is a great preacher, he has been dis- tinctly a man of action, “an athicte in politics as well as in sport, wa. and theology.” Mr. Taft, although less tmpulsive than his predecessor, is regarded in France as a man of great capacity and moral strength; consequently he is character- ized as, & “safer” President both for America” and Europe. “Neither the United States nor Burope,” one paper says, “need now fear the theatrical coups which upset them and the Roose- yelt regime.” TOKIO, March 4—All Japanese news- papers today printed editorials bidding, farewell to President Roosevelt and wel-'} eoming President Taft to the executive chair in the United States. Roosevelt is characterized as ‘“‘Japan’s best friend and benefactor,” and the papers ex- press confidence that President Taft will contiaue the Roosevelt Oriental policy. Reflections ef a Bachelor.

te WASHINGTON, March 4.—The Mis- 4 sourtans at Washington, led by the un- daunted Gov. Hadley, are following the inaugural program ‘to the limit, but upon one thing they drew the line. They refused, courteously but positively, to sli in their saddies with hunger gnawing ‘at their vitals, while Taft ate his al- lowance of two apples in the White . House. The official program calied for the big _ parade to proceed from the Capitol to ‘the White House. -Then there was to “be @ halt, while the President and his guests ‘ate lunch. Meanwhile the purade was to content itself as best it could. This bothered Hadicy. As soon as he heard about it, he said that he wanted “goine lunch, too. His declaration was greeted by a sympathetic chorus from his 22 colonels. v “But how about Gen. Rumbold?” they asked. “Will his soldierly strictness un- bend enough to let us play hookey?’’ uy Anxiously Rumbold was sought, and a, great load was lifted from the 22 colo- nels’ hearts when he declared that all ford high privates. ought to stand in Une without a murmur, but as for him, he proposed to have some lunch, too. - Hadley’s Party °Conspicuous. “Hadley and his 22 colonels have been ‘ onfinent among inatgural visitors. one of the regimentals of the ca contingent looked as though just emerged from the tailor's ian No other Governor was glor:- fied by such a display of new garments, and the réason, was obvious to those Democratic gentlemen who used te be on _ governors’ staffs in Missouri, but’ whose . ‘uniforms are now ucked away awaiting ‘a turn in the’ political tide. ‘Phat Missouri should have landed t #® years in the Republican cel- Was made the basis of a typical evelt speech te the Governor, while Hughes, having requested an inter- », assured Hadley that Missouri already accomplished what New other states of the East were at. ; at the Ball.

The guests will include Sen- ator Warner and dis daughter, Senator and Mrs. Stone, Representative and Mrs. Bartholdt, Champ Clark, Representative and Mrs. Caulfield, Representative and Mrs. Coudrey, Representative and Mrs. Ellis, Mr. and Mrs. Jeptha D. Howe, Otto Stifel, Col. and Mrs. E. J. Spen- cer, Gen. and Mrs. Henderson. Gov. and Mrs. Hadley were guests at»a dinner given last night by Gen. Foster, an old friend of the Hadley family. * — Nagel Ia Stil] Bluffiag. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Nagel were in- vited to the dinner tonight, but had another. engagement. Mr. Nagel is ite in contrast with the Missourians Gov. Hadley’s party. He is just-as inconspicuous as possible and runs when a reporter approaches.

NEW AND DIRECT CABLE ROUTE TO ACREASE PEE Commercial Company Will Run Line to New York Via Newfoundland. “GREATER ACCURACY” we

Large Expenditure of Money Follows Expiration - of Landing Rights. ST. JOHN’S, N. F., March 4.—Sir Robert Bond, premier of Newfound- land, announces that his government has agreed upon a contract with the Commercial Cable Co., by which the latter will extend one of its cables into Newfoundiand and thence direct to New York City. NEW YORK, March 4.—Clarence -H. Mackey, president of the Commercial Cable Co., and of the Mackey compa- nies, upon being shown the abéve tele- gram, said: ‘““‘Thé report is correct. We have agreed to cut one of our five trans- Atlantic eables at a point in the At- lantic known as the Flemish Cap,. which is about 300 miles east of New*ound- land, and there attach to the European end of the cable an entirely new cable which will extend from the Flemish Cap into St. Johns, N. F., and thence di- rect from St. Johns to New York City. *‘That is the ideal route for a cable between Europe and America, because it divides into two sections more equal- ly than. any other route the entire dis- tance from Ireland to New York City. “This will enable us to operate the ca- ble direct between New York City and and Ireland with much greater accu- ‘racy and speed, the speed alone being increased over 35 per cent. We shall '| then have the only cable in the Atlantic running from Europe to New Foundland and thence direct to New York. Cable Left in the Sea, “We probably would have laid our cable by that route in the beginning if the Anglo-American Cable Co. had not had exclusive landing rights in New- foundland. Those) rights, which existed for 50- years, have expired, and so we are now making this change. “It means the purchase and laying of 1700 miles of new cable. After it is finished we shall then have lying un- used on the bottom of the sea about nine hundred miles of cable running from the Flemish Cape direct to Canso, Canada, being that portion of the cable now in use and Which will be put out of use by this new plan. “Our cable ship will pick up as much as it can of this 900 miles of cable and it will then be resheathed and will be available for use elsewhere. For two years we have been studying this ques- tion and carefully considering the change from every point of view. } Enormous Expense. “It involves a large expenditure of money, but we shall expend it. The Commercial Cable Co. is the premier company in the Atlantic Ocean and we propose to keep it so. We shall spare no expense to give the fastest and best service that submarine cables are ca- pable of, with all the advantages of the most direct routes. *“‘Never before in the history of cables has 900 miles of a regularly working Gable been picked up from the bottom of the sea and the route changed sim- ply for the sake of accelerating the speed and increasing the continuity and reliability of. the service. “But that is what we propose to do, and I wish to remark that I do not be- lieve any Government would ever make any such change at such an enormous expense simply for the purpose) of giv- ing the public an improved service.” | STRANDED SHIP BREAKS UP

AS LAST MAN I$ RESCUED Line Shot to Schooner Bearing Party Which Sought to Float Her. HASTPORT, L. I., March 4.—In a ter- rific sea that was fast pounding the stranded schooner Merry to pieces on the sandbar off this port, Capt, Farrow, Capt. Dennison and 80 of the schooner’s

}crew and members of’the Merritt- Chap- man Wrecking Co. were rescued in a breeches buoy today by the Moriches Life Saving crew. — The men went aboard the schooner yesterday with the intention of making an attempt to float her at high tide. They were caught by a fierce easterly gale and forced to spend the night aboard the stranded ship. Today the sea had risen to such ferocity that the use of lifeboats was impossible. A line Wag finally shot to the schooner after a number of trials. Before Capt. Far- row, the last man to leave the vessel, had been hauled through the breakers, the ship had begun to break up. The Merry had been stranded for two

TAFT MOVES INTO. WHITE HOUSE FOR HIS 4-YEAR STAY Roosevelts Give Shelter to Ohioan on Last Night of Their Occupancy.

SERENADED BY CLUB

Incoming President Calls at Hotel Where. Classmates Are Giving Smoker. WASHINGTON, March 38.—Williant Howard Taft and Mrs. Taft. stepped from their automobile at 8 o’clock ‘n a driving rain at the White House to- night, to make it their home for the next four years. There was no demonstration whatever marking the arrival of the new tenant of the executive mansion. He was ad- mitted by the attendants, and, with Mrs. Taft, went at once to the private portion of the house, where the Fresi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt received their guests with the simple cordiality and lack of ceremony which long and inti- mate acquaintance have established. That the President-elect - and Mrs Taft are quartered at he White House tonight is due to Presidqgt and Mrs. Roosevelt, who, realizing: the conven- ience of such an arrangement, extendec their hospitality. Besides the President-elect* and Mrs. Taft. the White House dinner guests in- cluded Senatorselect Elihu Root and Mrs. Root, Senator Bacon, Senator Knox, who is to be Secretam of State, and Mrs. Knox, Mr. and Mrs, Nicholas Longworth, Admiral and Mrs. Cowles and Mises Mabel Boardman. The dinner, which«was' late in its commencement, was prolonged: but in anticipation of the strenuous’ day to- morrow, Mr. and Mrs. Taft found the arrangements of his hosts permitted of a reasonably early retirement and be- took himself for the night to the south- east bedchamber, being in the southeast corner of the second floor of the old building. Taft Had a Busy Day. Like President Roosevelt, “President Taft had a busy day. The. Boardman residence, where he has made his home since his arrival in the city last Satur- day, was early filled with callers, and the demands of friends, statesmen and politicians on the time of the incoming President were greater than he has ex- perienced since his election. The purpose of most callers, however, was merely to extend the hand of cor- diality and good wishes. It was just getting dark and the rain was coming down in cold torrents when | Mr. Taft heard strains of ‘‘Home, Sweet Home.” by a brass band.” He ran down the stairs and out of doors from the Boardman residence, without his hat. As he had anticipated, there wag the Citizens’ Taft Club of Cincinnati, 100 strong. “Give me the friends of foul weather rather than those of fair weather,’’ was hig cheery greeting to his fellow towns- men, who cheered him lustily. A hearty handshake. and cheery greeting to each man was given, as a line was formed which passed with rapidity under the portico where Mr. Taft had taken his/|- position. This was the first greeting to the Cincinnati friends of Judge Taft. They are to partake of luncheon with ‘President Taft at the White House to- morrow afternoon. The Yale class of °’78, of which Mr. Taft is a proud member, had their in- ning with the President-elect this after- noon. He drove downtown, met them in the rain and proceeded to the historic steps of the Navy Department Build- ing, where all posed for a group pic- ture. After his dinner Mr. Taft found time to go to the Willard Hote] for a few minutes to be cheered By his old class- mates, who were holding a Yale smoker. The news of the day so far, as ap- pointments are concerned, was summed up in the statement by Mr. Taft that Beekman Winthrop, who recently de- clined the position of Assistant Secre- tary \of State, had accepted the second

land will be present, at which time an J invitation will be formally extended to i Mr. Taft to be present next summer at a celebration to be held on the shores yet Lake. Champlain, commemorating its. discovery. Willis Moore, Chief of the United States Weather Bureau, sent Mr. Taft a telegram tonight telling him that the weather tomorrow in Washington would be clear and cold. This was received POLE Ne OO AM I conference on that measure 5 eneited in » € the retention of the House figures. An- ticipating such action, Senate in- ment of the President's pensés.

Herrick of Ohio, who declined to be considered for | the position of the Secretary of the Navy; refused the offer of Mr. Taft to make him an ambassador. The particular post to which it was desired that Mr. Herrick should go was that at Rome, vacated by the resigna- tion of Mr. Griscom. During the late afternoon the Taft and Sherman clubs of Albany Gnd Utica pre- sented themselves to J Taft and received a hearty welcome. Gov.

Ph DLE CLERKS Payment of € terfldtiv Em- ployes Out of Turn Ex- pressly Prohibited. : . STATE SCHOOLS FIRST — Attaches of Normal Colleges Have Received No Money for Six Months. a el on tae JEFFRRSON CITY, March 4.—Five- hundred persons employed in the five State Normal schools and the State Uni- versity at Columbia, including teachers, janitors and scrubwomen, are wonder- ing when the General Assembly will authorize the State Auditor to pay their salaries, amounting in the aggregate to $300,000, which have not been paid.for the six months ending March 1. The Legislature has been requested, repeatedly, by Auditor Gordon to sanc- tion the disbursement of these pay checks. The scrubwomen get’ about $ a week and the janitors $15, and all of them are said to be in sgre need of their long overdue wages. In this connection attention has been called to. the fact that the Constitution of Missouri declares specifically that the Legislature shall not provide for the pay of its own mem- Staff Corre- -Dispatch, bers, the salary of cle! ks, or other legis-. lative expenses, until the payroll of the State institutions has been met. It appears, however, that one of the first acts of the present General Assem- bly was to adopt a resolution calling on the State Auditor to,U K the pay war- rants of its own clerks and members. . Sehool Employes Not Paid . . ‘nig Auditor Gordch has done, Clerks, or “private secretaries” as they are known in the society circles of the cap- itol city, who have never veer required to do more than a h their gignatures to the warrants e out by the ac- couits of committ of the House and Senate, have been favored over the men and womén who aré compelled to work 10, 12 and.14 hours/a day in the State institutions. . ‘Employes of the

fe a? schools at Springfield, Cape Girardeat, Warrens- burg, Maryville a Kirksville, have been forced, it is reported, to borrow mosey at high rates of interest to pro- vide for their livi necessities. Section 43 of the State Constitution states plainly the propriations shall made by the Gen- lected and moneys State from any r shall go into the General Assembly

Setitey in its action to a suc- ceeding over preceding items as above enumerated. In defiance. of the constitutiogal man- dates, the Legislature has already ex- pended for its own purposes $140,000.

Stated in previous dispatches, that sev- eral Senators have loaded down the gy ey with “‘privdte secretaries.” rant of four clerks a few days ag0, clerks who had never been in Jefferson City, but the clerical force committee refused to permit him to do so. The revelations in the Post-Dispatch have aroused widespread comment among members of the General Assem- bly and from every county of the State letters are beginning to arrive calling th)» members to account for their appar- ent recklessness in spending the people’s money. ' Pest-Dispatch Is Commended. Following. are expressions of members in regard to the clerical force graft: Lawrence M. Griffith (Dem.), Bates County: ‘The Post-Dispatch is right. No member of the Legislature has a right to spend the people’s money care- lessly. We cannot economize by adopt- ing a policy of extravagance.”’ R. D. Silver (Dem.), St. Charles Coun- ty: “About my last official act would be to put a member or my family on the payroll. I have appointed two men as my clerks and tney have been as- signed to the working force of the House. We need more stehographers and fewer ‘private secretaries.’ ’’ Theodore Emerson (Dem.), Clay Coun- ty: The Post-Dispatch ts tq be com- mended for the fearless and impartial manner in which it has given the public the facts about the seramble for spoils in the State Legislature. I guess some of the ‘“‘boys’”’ will be hearing from home pretty soon. Frank Sosey (Dem.), Marion County: I have just written an article to my pa- per, the Palmyra Spectator, telling about the clerical force down here. The country people, I judge, won't like this extravagance one bit, H, R. Brassfield (Rep.), Putnam Ceoun- ty: As long as I am a member of’ the General Assembly, I shall continue to oppose the dispensation of patronage to the relatives of members, relatives who are not required to work. The House adopted a resolution to that effect of- fered by me yesterday, and ¥ hope we will get rid of every clerk who is not earning hYs salary. Droste’s Brother Works. Henry Droste (Rep.), St. Louis: The Post-Dispatch printed the fact that my brother is on the clerical force. It did not do me the justice, however, to say that my brother is a minute clerk and is required to work hard every day. I would not have caused his appoint- ment had I known of somebody else who would have done the work equally as well. I am opposed to graft in ev- ery form, and I agree with the Post- Dispatch that it is not proper for mem- bers to put their families on the pay- roll simply because they have the po- litical power to do it. F. E. Kies (Rep.), Cape Girardeau County: The Post-Dispatch was in error when it said my wife is on the State payroll. Louisa B.

pointed to a clerkship, is my sister. ay Senator Mayer (Dem.); St.. Joseph: am against nepotism as much as any- body can be, and I think where mem- bers have gone too far in this direction they should be called to task.. Senator James P. Chinn (Dem.), Hig- ginsville: I am not in sympathy with members’ who are enjoying additional salaries from the State by adding the names of their wives and daughters to the payroll. Therefore, I objected when the Post-Dispatch made it appear thaf I’ had appointed my relative, H. D. Chinn, to a clerical position. Chinn is a relative of mine, all right, but Sena- tor McDavid is responsible for him be- ing on the clerical force. Chinn lives in McDavid’s district; hence I would not have appointed him under any cir- cumstances.

“The Post-Dispatch has furnished inter- esting reading for the members during the last few days. So far as I am per- sonally .concerned,-I. will say that all of my clerks are hardworking ard in- dustrious, and they ‘are getting noth- ing in. the way of pay from the State to which they are not entitled.’ Senator Bradley (Dem.), St. Francois County: “The report current in. this city that I have my wife, son. and daughter on the payroll! fs untrue. Only my son and daughter are drawing pay from the State. Mrs. Bradley is not. This question of economy in the Legis- lature cannot be advocated too strongly. I want to compliment the Post-Dispatch on the excellent articles it has printed on this subject.’’ ON HIS UD POL Say That He Expects to Do His Duty.

Henry S. Caulfield will become Ex- cise Gommissioner of St. Louis as soon as the State Senate confirms his nom- ination. His duties as Representative of the Eleventh. District in Washington ended with «he closing of the con- gressional session, and he will return to St. Louis in a few days. Gov. Hadley, according to a Washing- ton dispatch, talked Caulfield into ac- cepting the office, which he had at first practically declined. Speaking of the result of their convyersatiqn, Caulfield said to a Post-Dispatch correspondent in Washington Thursday:

And I expect, if I become Excise Com- misioner, to do my duty.” The latter statement, made in very positive manner, was the only indica- in the excise office. Hadley I= Gratified, Gov. Hadley was frankly gratified, and said that-one of his chief purposes in visiting Washington had becn to per- suade Caulfield to take the commission- ership. “T told him,’’ said the Governor, ‘that a refusal was not to be thought of. I hardly gave him a chance to talk at all. I argued that it was! his duty to the public to take the place, and I was greatly pleased when he took this view and told me he would accept.” Excise Commissioner Mulvihill ex- pressed himself as greatly pleased when he learned that Caulfield was to be his successor. He seemed certain that Caul- field would keep up the same program of strict law enforcement which he has followed. Gov. Hadley, when here on his way to Washington a few days ago, said he be- lieved Caulfield would enforce the law as Mulvihill had done, but that he would seem to be more good-natured about it. “T want a fat man. for Excise Commis- sioner,’’ said the Governor. Caulfield meets the requirement in this respect.

James Austin Larson originator of the famous Teleconi treatment is at the: Planters Hotel, where he will com- mence to receive tomorrow. ' Mr. Larson’s career has. been a won- derful success and it is said that he has .the greatest treatment in the world for what he terms abdominal complaints, incl constipation and torpid livers, female complaints and nervous troubles. The man of Tele- eoni candidly states that he does not treat. cancer, consumption. Bright's

The following news stories from various papers indicate the man- ner of ailments with which he is suc- cessful. The first story printed is from the St. Paul Pioneer Press and indicates successful treatment of con- stipation. The name of a St. known .in railroad circles, Paul man, well would be has made about his surprising cure by James Austin Larson and the Tele- econi treatment. This man is an of- ficer—a general officer— of a railroad entering St. Paul. It is not a small or a loea] road, but one of the big trunk lines. He feels a delicacy, however, about having his name published in connec- tion with a cure of disease. He is would identify the road with which he has long been associated. To a re- porter for the Pioneer Press, who tried yesterday to secure the details of the case, and who asked “Do you object to your name being used?” this general officer answered: “Yes, I.do, decidedly; and you fmusn’t use the name of my road, or identify me in any way. “But,” he added, “I want,to do the fair thing. I feel grateful to Mr. Larson. [I want to grant him any courtesy that I can. And I think it’s only proper and just that I should help out, as much as possible, the} numerous other peop'e who are suf- fering from the disease that made me thiserable for years, so. I have told Mr. Larson that I am perfectly will- ing to tell how I was cured to any- body enough jnterested to ask ‘me per- sonally. If anybody will call on Mr. Larson or telephone him or write to him and ask about me he will give the inquirer my name, and address. Then the man or woman can see me, write me or call me over the phone and I'll gladly answer questions. The great value of Teleconi in such cases as mine ought to be more widely |: known.” Gladly Tells Facts. “Well,” persisted the caller, “If you ote not to be identified, you may willing, perhaps, to say something about your sickness and the way you were cured.” “I'll be glad to do that much,” re- joined the railroader, closing the. office door and seating himself again before his desk. “It was like this: “My disease was a constant in- activity of the bowels“chronic con; stipation. It’s an ailment that half the people in this country, who don’t live active outdoor lives, are suffering from. I suppose, so it didn’t seem a serious thing to me at first. I pre- sumed that, and the doctors eed with me later, that it was caused by a sedentary life, working all day long in an Office, etc. I knew it was a very common . diffieulty, and that there were plenty of remedies [I could take. I didn’t. worry. “Then I started in on the remedies. I didn’t consult a doctor. I simply | b asked for one of those simple, easy eures af the drug store. They hel me, of course.

He said, and afterwards the second doctor said, and then the rest of ‘em said that it was ‘nothing.’ He méntioned the sedentary life, lack of exercise. To he gave me a new hint. He said ht fs be more careful in my diet, sal Gebete les. Figs would be good, and the coarser sorts of bread. I ought te drink more water, too. “T had about run the limit of medical cures after I had visited a few doc- tors.

Some had advised me to ‘drink as much water as possible.’ But the ‘water cure” turned out al- most as disagreeable as the one our soldiers used to give the natives over in the Philippines.

Special Correspondence to the Post- Dispatch. BERLIN, Feb. 16.—The eldest son of the Crown Prince, who. will some day pe German Emperor, has just made his md @ret public, though unrehearsed and un- expected, appearance in a military role quite in keeping with. Hohenzollern tra- ditions. As he is but 3% years old, this probably constitutes 4 record, even in his family. Early in the attérnoen pedestrians who were streaming along Unter den Linden, casting the usual glance along the windows of the Crown Prince's pal- ace, noticed a little head pop up behind ene of them. There could be no doubt as to whom it belonged, and those who had caught sight of it stopped to take advantage of so excellent an opportu- nity of having a good look*at their future sovereign, : Interest.to the Crowd, It was then seen that the little Prince * was evidently climbing on to the win- _ dow seat. He had some difficulty in eWinging himself up, especia!!;; as he on ‘held a large stick in one hand. But ~ he pergevered, and at last stood tpright on the seat. * He now caught ‘sient of the crowd which was rapidly assembling outside, and, regarded it with benevolent turi- osity. Presently he seemed to re tgs - that he Was of much mors intere the crowd than if was to }im, and, no doubt with the kindly idea of giving + a better view, he grasped with his ’ tiny “renda_the catch which held the F vit dow closed and tried‘ to move it. Pais was, however, too much for his a. strength and he was. obliged to give ey «it up. ‘ An Amusing Prank. ps Now another idea. occurred to him, and, shouldering his stick like a rifle, he strutted* solemnly backwards and forwards across the breadth of the *win- _ fiow, every now and then stopping to ee papeent arms to the delighted spectators. for five or seven minutes, lenly, a large hand thrust out | of the background seized the little’ ‘Prince and ruthlessly and unceremoni- ‘ously dragged him from the scene.

SPARKS ANOTHER ~c| WHILE SUING FOR TROTH SPARKLER _

“Take Back the ‘Love *T hat Thou Gavest Me, ” Said Sweet Lucy to Ferd: ——— DETROIT, Mich., March 4.—The love that glows behind the neat white jacket of Ferd C. Bellemore, a clerk in Laing’s drug store. Windsor, is of the quenchless kind. Not that it has always glowed for the same lady, but it keeps on glowing just the same. Some months ago he gave Miss Lucy Whiteley a diamond ring as em- blematic @f the firm, sincere and sparkling quality of his affection, Miss Lucy twisted the third finger of he ‘left hand so as to admire the lustrous gift until she nearly twisted it off. But alas, they had a little spat one @vening; she said she hated him and said he didn’t care and the last faint @park on the altar of love faded out. They didn’t evan decide towhe friends from*then on. It was. a smash up all right. .- Waited but No Ring. Ferd waited day after day in nerv--opr’ationy minde at the last session of Congress for the fiscal year, which is ‘now current, and which will end on June 30, amounted to $1,- 008,397,548. That figure broke the record up to that time. The indications are that the appropriations made by this session, which ar* ‘for the fiscal year which will begta July 1, will be about $30,000,000 greater than those made by the. first session of the Gixtieth Con- gress. In other words,. the ‘Sens appears to have well passed by when anyone need be surprised by reference to a billion- dollar session of Congress; or when any- lone need: be astonished at a two-billion- Congress. It i; not y years since the expression, ‘a billion-dollar Con- gress,’’ made the entire country sit up and take notice. Billion Mark Passed. Now, the nation appears to have passed the two-billion mark, and to be advancing to a new standard of expendi- ture, no one knows where. Senator Hale only a few days ago gave the Senate solemn warning” that enormously in- creased allowances for the Navy Defart- ment might be looked for next séssion of Congress, and that the country was on the high road toward a bond issue. It is conceded on nearly every hand that extraordinary methods for taising revenue to meet the deficit in the Treasury will have to be taken by the special session of Congress which will convene March 15, and no one has yet solved the question of jvst-how the situation will be met. ~ At the outset of this session, warn- ings were solemnly sounded ‘rom vari- ous high quarters that ~-*ie session would have to exercises .reat economy. These warnings were uttered time and again in most impressive fashion. Some folks doubtless began to suspect that rthe ‘purse strings of the Government would really be tightened. Watchdogs Are Harmless, It looked at times as if the watchdogs of the Treasury would bay and bank. and growl this year with unusual ve- hemence and unusual effectiveness. But an examination of the appropriations bills does not disclose that these afore- said watchdogs have frightened any- one to any great extent. The disposi- tion to break into the strong box of Uncle Sam has been as insatiable as ever, and it. is. hard to see that it has been successfully curbed at any point. The army bill this year will run about $7,000,000 heavier thar last year, the Dis- trict of Columbia bill about $2,000,000 heavier, the navy bill about $14,000,000 heavier, an@ the postoffice bill about $12,000,000 heavier. Then, there ts an in- crease of about $15,000,000 in the sundry civil bill. Last session, there was. no river and harbor bill, “and so the Trea- sury is called on for about $10,000,000 more in this direction than last your.

WE CAN HOLD OUR OWN IN ORIENT, HE-DECLARES Revision of the Tariff Is Most Important Work in Immediate Prospect and Inheritance Tax Is Favored to Add to Nation’s Revenue. ” * s ' WASHINGTON, March 4.—President Taft’s inaugural address follows in full: My Fellow Citizens: Any one who takes the cath I have just taken must feel a heavy weight of responsibility. If not, he has no conception of the powers and duties of the office upon which he is abomt to enter, or he is lacking In a proper sense of the obligatfon which the oath imposes. ‘ The office of an inaugural address is to give a summary outline of the main policies of the new administration, so far as they can be anticipated. I have had the honor to be one of the advisers of my distinguished predecessor, and, as such, to, hold up his hands in the reforms he has initiated. I should be un- trie to myéelf, to my promises and toghe declarations of the party plat- form upon which Ii was elected to office if I did not make the maintenance and enforcement of those reforms a most important feature of my administra- tion. “They were directed to the suppression of the lawlessness and abuses of power of the great combinations of capital invested in railroads and in indus- teal enterprises carrying on interstate commerce, The steps which my pre- d@cessor took and tne legislation passed on his recommendation have accom- plished . much, caused a general halt in the vicious policies which cre- ated popular alarm, and have brought about, in the business affected, a jueh. higher regard for existing law. T6 Fender reforms lasting, however. and to secure at the same time freedom om alarm on the part of those pursuing proper and progressive ®usiness -ethods, further legislative and executive action are needed. Relief of the ilroatis: from certain restrictions of the anti-trust law have been urged by my edecessor and will.be urged by me. On the other hand, the administration looking “‘to-a proper Federal supervision and restric- : re issue.of bonds:and stocks by companies owning and “perating interstate/commerce failroads. Then, too. a rganization of the Department of Justice, of the Bureau re sf Corporations the Department of Commerce and Labor, and of the Inter- ‘state Comme ommission, looking to effective co-operation of these agen- : fis needed to secure 2 more rapid and certain enforcement of the laws ‘affecting interstate railroads and industrial combinations. “I hope to be able to submit, at the first regular session of the incoming Congress, in December next, definite suggestions in respect to the néeded amendments tO the anti-trust and the interstate commerce law, and_ the conenee required in the executive departments concerned in their enforcement. wt is believed that with the changes to be recommended, American business can 1 be assured on that measure of stability and certainty in respect to those thittts that may be done and those that are prohibited, which is essential to the lite: and growth of all business. Such a plan must include the right of the peo- oie to atail themselves of those methods of combining capital and effort deemed necessary to reach the highest degree of economic efficiency at the same time differentiating between, combinations based upon legitimate econom- te réasons and those formed with the intent of creating monopolies and artifi- ge sc controlling prices. _ fhe work of formulating into practical shape such changes is creative work The “highest order, and requires all the deliberation possible in the interval. I that the amendments to be proposed are. just as necessary in the pro- otion of legitimate business as in the clinching of the reforms which properly bear the name of my predecessor. | A matter. of most pressing ‘importance is the revi- eton the tariff. In accordance with the promises of the platfornr upon which I was elected, I shall call * Congress into extra session, to meet .on the fifteenth day of March, in order that consideration may be at once given to @ bill revising the Dingley act. This should secure an adequate revenue and adjust Me ah: the duties in such a manner as to afford to aber and to all {ndusiries in this country, whether of the farm, - vlheod factory, protection by tariff equal to the diffetence between the cost section abroad and the cost of production here, and have a provision h shall put into foree, upon executive determination of certain facts, a : ea r or maximum tariff against those countries whose trade policy toward us ably requires such discrimination. It is thought that there has been syoh ® in conditions since the enactment of the Dingley act, drafted on a sim- arly pre principle, that the measure of the tariff above stated will per- m t th ore of rates in semtetp sch edules me 4 will require the advance- oa all Fe Pe «7 —s bes if any. osal to revise the tarift made in such an authoritative way as to the business community to count upon it, necessarily. halts all those ot directly affected, and as these are most important, it. the whole busmmess of the country. Jt is itmperatively necessary, that a tariff bill be drawn in good faith in accordance with prom- as. the election by the party in power, and as promptly passed onside will permit. It fs not that the tariff is more important r Yur rea the perfecting of the reforms in respect to anti-trust’ “and interstate commerce regulation, but the need for action when . ria fo ewed the taritt has been determined upon, is more immediate ‘to seem wise to. attempt no other legislation at the | @ suggestion only, for the course to be taken call of the executive, is wholly within its discretion. ~ {In the\making of a tariff bill. the prime motive is oe _ taxation and the securing thereby of a revenue.

STREETS AND BUILDINGS WHICH WERE STAGE SETTINGS FOR INAUGURATION old laissez faire school of political writers, and this widening has met popular approval. cs In the Department of Agriculture, the use of scientific - experiments on a large scale, and the spread‘ of information derived from them for the improve- ment of general agriculture, must go on. = The importance of supervising business of great railways and industrial combinations, and the necessary investigation and prosecution of unlawful busi- ness methods, are another necessary tax upon government which did not exist half a century ago. The putting into force of laws which shall secure the conservation of our resources, so far as they may be within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, including the most important work of sav'.g and re- storing our forests an’i the great improvement of wa- terways, are a!! proper Government functions which must involve large expenditures if properly per- formed, While some of them; like the reclamation made to pay fer -themselves, cthers are of such an indirect benefit’ that this cannot be expected of them. A_ per- manent improvement, like the Panama Canal, should be treated a: a dis- tinct enterprise, and should) be paid for by the proceeds of bonds, the issue of which will distribute its cost between the présent and future generations in ac- cordance with the benefits derived. -It may. well be submitted to the serious consideration of Congress whether the deepening and control of the channel of & great river system, like that of the Ohio or of the Mississippi, when defi- nite and practical plans for the enterprise have been approved and _ deter- mined upon, should not be provided for in the same way. Then, too, there are expenditures of government absolutely necessary if our country !s to maintain its proper piace among the nations of the world, and is to exercise its proper. influence tn defense of its own trade interests, in the maintenance of traditional American policy against the colonization of Eu- ropean monarchies in this hemisphere, and in the promotion of peace and inter- national morality. I refer to the cost of maintaining a proper army, a prop- - er navy and suitable fortifications upon the mainland of the United States and in its dependencies. We sheuld have an army so organized, and so officered, as to be capable in time of emergency, in co-operation with the National Militia, and under the provisions of a proper natiomal volunteer law, rapidly to expand into a force sufficient to resigt all probable invasion from abroad and to furnish a respect- able expeditionary force, if necessary, in the maintenance of our traditional American policy which bears the name of President Monree. Our fortifications are yet in a state of only partial completeness, and the number of men to man them is insufficient. In a few years, however, the us- ual annual appropriations for our coast defenses, both on the mainland and in the dependencies will make them sufficient to resist all direct attack and by that time we may hope that the men to man them will be provided as a necessary adjunct. The distance of our shores from Europe and Asia, of course, reduces the necessity for maintaining under arms a great army, but it does not take away the requirement of mere prudence, that we should have an army ‘sufficiently large and so constituted as to form c nucleus out of which a suitable force can quickly grow. DEEP WATER- WAYS. of arid lands, are ARMY AND * NAVY. way of the Navy. in existence gvhen the emergency «rises which calls for its use and operation. My distinguished predecessor has in many speeches and messages set out with great force and striking language the necessity for maintaining a strong navy commensurate with the coast line, the governmental resources and the foreign trade of our nation: and I wish to reiterate all the reasons which he has pre- sented in favor of the policy of maintaining a strong nav¥ as the best con- servator of our peace with other nations 2nd the best means of securing respect for the assertion of our rights, the defence of our interests and the exercise of our influence in.international matters. -Our international policy is always to promote peace. We shall enter into any war with a full consciousness of the awful consequences that it always entails, whether successful or not, and we, of course, shall make every effort, con- sistent with national honor and the highest national interest, to avoid a resort to arms. We favor every instrumentality, like that of The Hague Tribunal and arbitration treaties made With a view to its use in all international controver- sies, in order to maintain peace and to avoid war. But we should be blind to existing conditions, and should allow ourselves to become foolish idealists, if we did not realize that with all the nations of the world armed and prepared for war, We must be ourselves in a similar condition ability to defend our interests and assert our rights with a strong hand. In the international’controversies that are likely to arise in the Orient, growing out.of the question of the open door and other issues, the United States can maintain her interests intact and cen secure respect for her just demands. She will not be able to do so, however,if it. is understood that she never in- tends to back up her assertion of right and her defense of. her interest by any- thing but. mere verbal protést and diplomatic note, For’these reasons the ex- penses of the a and navy and. of coast de s should always be ‘con- sidered as something which the Government must pay for, and they should not be cut off through mere consideration of economy. Our government is able to afford a suitable army and @ suitable navy. It may maintain them without the slightest danger to the Republic or the cause of free institutions, and fear of additional taxation ought not to change a proper policy in this regard. The policy of the United States in the Spanish War, and since, has given it a position of influence among the n&tions that it had neve- had before, and should be constantly exerted to securing to its bona fide citizens, whether native or naturalized, respect -for them as such in foreign countries. We should make every effort to prevent humiliating ‘and degra- dating prohibition against any of our citizens wishing ASIATIC ‘PEOPLE IN | AMERICA. What has been said of the Army may be affirmed in even a more emphatia~ A modern navy cannot be improvised. It must be built and ~ in order to prevent other nations from taking advantage of us and of our in- risdiction which ought to be remedied at once. Having assured to other coufitries by treaty the protection of our laws for such of their subjects gr citizens as we permit to come within our jurisdiction, We now leave to a State or a dity, not under the coltrol ef the Federal Goverr&nent, ‘the duty of performing our international obligations in this respect. By proper legislation we may, and ought to, place in the hands of the Federal Ex- ecutive the means of enforciig the treaty rights of such aliens in the courts of the Federal Government. It puts our Government in a pusillanimous posi- tion to make definite engagements to protect aliens and then ‘to excuse the failure to perform those engagements by an explanation that the duty to keep them is in statés or cities, not within our control. if we would promise, we must put ourselves in a position, to perform our promise. dice in any State or municipal g»vernment to expose us to the risk of.a war which might be avoided if Fedeval jurisdiction was asserted by suitable legis- Jiation. by Congress and carried out by proper proceedings instituted by the Fixecutive in the cpurts of the National Government. — We cannot permit the possible. failure of justice due to local preju- One of the reforms to be carried out during the in- : coming administration is a change of our monetary NEW and banking laws, so as to secure greater elasticity-in the ferms of currency available for trade, and to pre- BANKING vent the limitations of law from operating to increase LAWS the embarrassments of a financial panic.

There is no subject of economic discussion so intricate and so likely to evoke differing views and dogmatic statements as this one. The Commission in studying the general influence of currency on busi- ness and of business on currency, have wisely extended their investigations in European banking and monetary methods. The information thafthey have derived from such experts as they have found abroad will undoubtedly be found helpful in the selution of the difficult problem they have in hand.

It will furnish the absolute security which makes the propesed scheme of Government guar- anty of deposits so alluring without its pernicious results. I sincerely hope that the incoming Congress will be alive, as it should be, to the importance of our foreign trade and of encouraging it in every way feasible. The possibility of increasing this trade in the Orient, in the Phil- ippines and in South America are known toe everyone who has given the matter attention. The direct effect of free trade between this country and the Philippines will be marked upon our sale of cottons, agricultural machinery and other manufactures. The necessity of the establishment’ of direct lines of steamers between North and South America has been brought to the atten- tion of Congress by my. predecessor, and by Mr. Root before and after his noteworthy visit to that continent, and I sincerely hope that Congress may be induced to see|the wisdom of a tentative effort to establish such lines by the use of mail subsidies. . ete The importance which the Department of Agriculture and of Commerce and Labor may play tn ridding the markets of Europe of prohibitions and discriminations against the importation of our products is fully understeod, and it is hoped that the use of the maximum and minimum feature of our tariff’ laws to be soon passed will be effective te remeve many of those restric- tions.

It will also have a most beneficial effect to incréase the trade between the eastern seaboard of the United States and the western coast of South Ameri- ca, and, indeed, with some of the important ports on the east coast of South America reached by rail from the west coast. The work on the canal is mak- ing most satisfactory progress. The type of the canat as a lock canal was fixed by Congress after a full consideration of the conflicting reports of the majority and minority of the consulting board, and after the recoiimendation of the War Department and the Exectyive upon those reports. Recent suggestion ‘that something had 6 rred on the isthmus te make ‘the lock type of the canal less feasible than it was supposed to be when the re- ports were made and the policy determined on, led to a visit te the isthmus of a board of competent engineers io examine the Gatin dam and locks which are the key of the lock type. The report of that beard shows that nothing has oc- curred in the nature of newly revealed qvicence which should change the views once formed in the original discussion.

My chief purpose is not td effect a change in the electoral vote of the’ Southern States. That is a secon- dary consideration.

The thirteenth ameéendment secured them freedom; “the fourteenth amendment due process of law, protection of prop- erty and the pursuit of happiiess, and the fifteenth amendment attempted to secure the negro against any depriva- tion of the privilege to vote, because he was a negro. The thirteenth and fourteenth amendments have been gen- erally enforced and have secured the objects for which they were intended. While the fifteenth amendment has not po THE SOLID ought to be observed, and the tendency of Southern legisiatfon today is toward the enactment of electoral qudliteasions | which shall square with that amend- ment. Of course the mere adoption of a constitutional law is only a step in the right direction. It must be fairly and justly enforced as well. In time both will come. The domination of an ignorant, irre? sponsible element can be prevented by}, constitutional laws which shall exclude} from voting both negroes‘and whites snot having education or other qualifi- cations thought to be necessary for a proper electorate. The danger of the control of an ignorant electorate has therefore passed. With this change, the interest which many of the South- of the negroes has increased The colored “men must base ~ _their hope *on the results of their own in- dustry, self- restraint, thrift and business success, as well as upon the aid and comfort and sympathy which they may = receive TREATMENT OF THE NEGRO. — South. There was a time when Northerners who sympathized with the ter conditions sought te give te him the suffrage as a protection, and to en- force its exercise against the prevailing sentiment of the South. The movement proved to be a Yailure. What remains‘ is the Fifteenth Amendment to the’ Constitution and the right te have tions for electors Bubjected to the test ef compliance with that amendment.’ This is a great protection to the negro. It never will be repealed, and it never ought to be repealed. If it had not been passed, it might be difficult now to adopt it; but with it in our fundamental law, the policy of Southern, legislation must and will tend to obey it, and so long as the statutes of the State meet the test of this amendment and are not otherwise in conflict with the Con- stitution and lews of the United States, it is not the disposition or within the province of the Federal Government to interefere with the regulation by South- ern States of their domestic affairs.

For seven years, five months and eighteen days bas Theodore Roosevelt been President of the United States. It is an office of greater poten- tialit} for good or evil than any other in the world. Today Mr. Roosevelt’s administration is ended and he retires from place and power. What then does the balance sheet show? _ Being determined to treat Mr. Roosevelt with scrupulous fairness, regardless of personal dif- ferences, and having vigorously supported him whenever we believed him to be right, the Post- Dispatch prefers to begin with the most meri- torious achievements ‘of his administration. 1. The settlement of the. coal strike and the | great moral impetus thereby given to arbitration in indus«rial disputes. 2. Peace between Japan and Russia. 3. The prosecution of the Northern Securities - merger, which established in the Supreme Court of the United States the constitutionality of the law. 4. The great progress made toward the conser- vation of natural resources. 5. The protection of the public domain, together ’ with the punishment of public-land thieves, re- gardless of their financial and political influence. *.

the privileges and prerogatives of the presidency. 8. An extravagance in administration. without parallel in the history of any government, ‘he total appropriations during his two administra- tions being approximately $7,740,000,000, the total appropriations for four years of civil war having been only $3,428 000,000, 9. His insensate appeals to militarism, jingo- ism and war spirit; Mr. Roosevelt having publicly talked more and written more about war during the last seven years than did Lincoln during the whole of the rebellion or Washington during the whole of his career. 10. His failure to hold to any fixed constitu- tional policy for the regulation of corporations. 11. The ‘acknowledged failure of the railroad rate law, which he forced Congress to pass. 12. His selection of George B. Cortelyon, who had been his inquisitor of corporations, to be chairman of the Republican National Commit- tee and collector of corporation.campaign tribute, then his subsequent appointment of Mr. Cortelyou to be Secretary of the Treasury. . ‘ 13. His personal encouragement of Edward H. Harriman to raise the $260,000 campaign fund by which Mr. Harriman boasted that “at leas 50,000 votes were turned in the city of New York alone, making a difference of 100,000 in the gen eral result.” 14. Hig highly dangerous policy of centrali- zation, thereby seeking to destroy the constitu- tional distribution of powers between Federal and state governments, which is one of the surest guarantees of American liberty. 15. His personal lawlessness in discharging the duties of his office. : 16. His favoritism in promotions and assign- ments, which has gone far to demoralize the spirit of the army and navy. 17. His dismissal of an entire battalion of negro soldiers, punishing the innocent and guilty alike, and then seeking to sustain his action by a so- called confession alleged to have been obtained by an illitcrate detective, but which competent witnesses have branded as a fake. 18. The miltiplication of public offices in re- sponse to his demands and the creation of an army of spies, inspectors, examiners and regula- tors, which is costing upward of $7,000,000 a year. 19. His flagrant abuse of the power of the presidency in controlling the Republican national convention and in forcing the nomination of his successor. 20. His audacious use of the Federal patronage to reward labor leaders who broke with Gompers and supported the Republican ticket. 21. His unconstitutional. use of the American navy in the Panama revolution to make war on a friendly power. 22. Government by denunciation instead: of dune process of law. 23. Persistent appeals for political effect for legislation such as child-labor laws, national in- surance laws and. the like, known to be without the province of the Federal Government and which would be declared unconstitutional if en- acted. 24. Licensing the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co. by the Steel Trust, regardlcss of the Sherman law; ordering the Attorney-Gen- eral to give the United States Senate no informa- tion in regard to the transaction, and personally sequestrating evidence collected by the Bureau cf Corporations. 25. Lowering the dignity of the presidency by habitual discourtesy of language and inaccuracy of statement in the discussion of public questions, making it necessary for the House of Representa- tives, no less than individuals, to brand asser- tions made by him as “without basis of fact.” “PERSONAL GOVERNMENT.’? Bad as many of Mr. Roosevelt’s policies ad- mittedly are, it is his methods that constitute the real indictment against his administration and the grave menace to constitutional govern- ment. As Samuel W. McCall of Massachusetts, one of the ablest members of Congress, said in a letter written on Washington’s birthday declining the presidency of Dartmouth College because he be- lieved there was even more important work to perform in the House of Representatives: ‘I am far less concerned by particular theories than by general methods of gov- ernment—methods which have been car- rying us swiftly toward a condition under ewhich limitations upon governmental power would be done away with and fa- voritism and caprice of am autocrat would take the place of constitutional restraint. This is the great injury that Mr. Roosevelt has wrought to republican institutions. He has sought to substitute the “favoritism and caprice of an autocrat” for constitutiona] restraint, and it will be years before the American Government has recovered from the wounds he inflicted. Mr. Roosevelt’s true place in American history belongs not among the great administrators and constructive statesmen, but among the great agi- tators and démagoues, most of whom he sur- passes in genius and versatility no less than in energy and audacity. Thus it comes about that after seven years of government of demagogy and denunciation, noth- ing is finished. Much that has been done must now be undone. Mr. Taft, to sueceed, must start anew. Even the revision of the tariff which Mc- Kinley advocated so earnestly in jhis last public utterance: has been left to the Tatt adm!nistra- tion. Mr. Roosevelt found the coufitry peaceful and prosperous.. He leaves it distracted, torn by dis- sension, with industry half paralyzed, and hun- dreds of thousands of his fellow countrymen |vainly seeking means to earn thelf bread. The cost of living has steadily increased during his administration with no corresponding in- ‘crease in wages even to the men who found em- , ployment. P In spite of. Mr. Roosevelt’s cranky and fury, all the great trusts are more powerful and more tn ht, | PFOSperous than they were when he became Pres- ident. Mr. Morgan, Mr. Rockefeller, Mr.. Ryan, | Mr: Harriman, Mr. Hill, Mr. Schiff and their as-

The Beef Trust was perfected during his dd- ministration until the capitalization of all the allied and subsidiary corporations aggregates $200, 000,000, and the average advance in prices to the consumer igs at least 30 per cent. | According to a subcommittes of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Steel Trust, “whose absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Co., its principal competitor, was licensed by Mr. Roose- velt, now has complete control of the open-hearth output of steel rails, a monopoly of, the iron and. steel trade of the South and will ultimately have; & monopoly of the high-grade iron ore of the country. A report made to Mr. Roosevelt Feb: 25 "es Her- bert Knox Smith, Commissioner of Corporations, yshows that “the American Tobacco Co. stands in a controlling position over the entire tobac- ¢o combination,” and that this combination is controlled by 10 men. Mr. Smith is authority ‘or the statement that “in 1906 the combination controlled of the various tobaccos respectively: Plug, 82 per cent; smoking, 71 per cent; fine-cut, ‘1 per cent, and snuff, 96 per cent.” “Many weaker concerns,” he adds, “have been virtually driven out of business or forced to sell out to the combination.” Yet Mr. Roosevelt has never un- dertaken to obtain the indictment“of a single individual in this trust under the criminal clause of the Sherman law. Mr. Harriman, whom Mr. Roogevelt has de- nounced more vigorously than any other captain of finance, has gone on. without serious interfer- ence from the Federal authorities. His domina- tion over transcontinental traffic is more c plete than it ever was. He has acquired control of the Illinois Central and the Georgia ‘Central, and recently became a controlling influence in the New York Central, thus extending his power from sea to sea and from the Lakes to the Gulf. Gov. Deneen of Illinois is personally responsible for the statement that Mr. Roosevelt requested him not to proceed against Mr. Harriman-for the looting of the Alton on the ground that it would disturb business. And thus the story goes. In'spife of ‘torrents of denunciation and vituperation “the malefactors of great wealth” have suffered little except in- jury to their feelings. Not only has Mr. Roose- velt refused to proceed against them personally, but in his special message of Jan. 31, 1908, he viciously attacked as accomplices of the great law-defying corporations the public men, the law- yers and the newspapers that had urged enforce- ment of the criminal clause of the Sherman law. The chief victims of Mr. Roosevelt’s policies have not been the masters of Wall street finance, but the small investors, the small business men and the wage earners. The bread line is the most striking monument of My Policies. *‘MR. MCKINLEY’S MISGIVINGS.’ “There is only one life between him and che presidency,” said William McKinley in advising against the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt for Vice- President in 1900. Within fifteen months the one life that stood between Mr. Roosevelt .and the presidency was snuffed out by the hand of a mis- erable assassin. Next to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln the assassination of William McKinley is perhaps the greatest calamity that has overtaken the American nation since the Civil War. Lincoln's death left the work of reconstruction in the hands of: Andrew Johnson. McKinley’s death left to Theodore Roosevelt the work of guiding the country through an economic and social crisis. Two men less fitted by temperament for tasks demanding infinite tact and patience could hardly be found. Mr. Roosevelt in many ways is an educated Johnson, with a Harvard diploma. He has been far more successful than Johnson, because he is an infinitely better politician, shrewder, abler, more cunning and more unscrupulous. Johnson was a demagogue largely through environment, poverty and ignorance. Roosevelt became a dem- agogue deliberately as the most direct method of gratifying his ambition. His offense is therefore greater, and he has none of the excuses which the sympathetic historian must admit in exten- uation of Johnson’s. conduct. Mr. Roosevelt’s infirmities of training and tem- perament must be considered, of course, as miti- gating circumstances. He was pampered from his birth. He never had to earn his own living. He never had to make his own way in the world. A ‘well-invested inheritance won by the labor of others afforded him a comfortable income without effort on his part. |The only business venture which he ever undertook to manage was a Mon- tana ranch, and he made a failure of it. He was never trained to responsibility. *“‘HIS SOLEMN PLEDGE.’’ When William McKinley lay cold in death Mr. Roosevelt raised his right hand and took the most impressive oath of office that can be administered: “I, Theodore Roosevelt, do solemnly swear that I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Thus do I swear.” Then he gave to the nation this pledge: In this hour of deep national bereave- ment I wish to state that it shall be my aim to continue absolutely anbroken the policy of President MeKinley for the peace and prosperity and honor of our beloved country. Probably he meant it at the time. But Mr. Roosevelt meant other things, too, the most im- portant of which in his mind was to become Pr-s- ident of the United States in his own right. Everything else was subordinated to this ambi- tion. He soon ieiet that no headway could be made by adhering to the McKinley policies. He was]: not William McKinley and he could not be William McKinley. The Republican leaders dis- trusted him. Against him was the Republican organization controlled by Mark Hanna, who was no “easy boss” like Platt. Mr. Roosevelt quickly discovered that if he were to realize his ambi-|' ticn he must make a convincing appeal on his own account to popular imagination. Fortunately for his purposes, but unfortunately for the coun- “fe dns of ts rwalver campaten

But with the re-election of Mr. McKinley the problem rap- idly became more pressing. Mr. McKinley him: self had come .to feel the necessity of meeting the trust issue. In private conversation he had frankly expressed his uneasiness over it and his belief that something would very soon have co be done. ~ Two: months after the death of Mr. McKinley there came the spark that exploded the magazine. Mr. Morgan, Mr. Harriman and Mr. Hill orgahized | the Northern Securities Co. to control the North- ern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Burling- ton. ‘Here was the instrument by which all the railroads might be consolidated in the hands of a few great holding companies and the dream of a perfect transportation monopoly realized. The Northwest didnot share Wall street’s on- thusiasm. The merger meant the death of rail- road competition in half a dozen important states. Mr. Roosevelt had paid no attention to the North- ern Securities Co. when it was first organized, but when he came to realize the intensity of feel- ing in these states, which through their gover- nors were already moving to contest the validity of the merger, he was quick to seize als sind tunity. Philander C. Knox, the shrewd and skillful corporation lawyer whom Mr. McKinley had made Attorney-General, was sti in Mr. Roosevelt's Cabinet. Mr. Knox wag a better lawyer than the men that devised the merger agreement. He found the holes in the armor plate and Mr. Roosevelt -} set the machinery of the Federal Government in motion. From the popular applause that fol- lowed he knew that as a candidate for the nom ination in 1904 he had made no mistake, but when the case was won he took pains to assure wll street that he would not “run amuck.” ‘“‘“HOW.HE BECAME A DEMAGOGUE.”’ His next taste of power came with the coal strike in Pennsylvania, which took on some of the aspects of a Civil War. Mr. Roosevelt, in re- sponse to a tumultuous public demand for a set- tlement, took upon himself the duty of re-estab- lishing peace. It was no less courageous than audacious, for he had to brave the wrath not only of all the organized capital invested in coal mines and coal roads, but of all the allied cor- porations as well. He succeeded,' thanks to an overwhelming public sentiment; but in his well-deserved success he made the discovery that has been the mainspring of his conduct ever since: —whoever is President of the United States wields the mightiest personal power of any one man in the world. Hanna and the Republican organization might oppose him, but he had found the means of clubbing into submission the inter- ests which sustained Hanna and the organiza- tion. The trail was no longer blind. Hannaism could be beaten by personal government, and personal government could be upheld by adroit appeals to popular passion. Thereupon Mr. Roosevelt deliberately elected to be a demagogue, and personal government became the instrument | by which he achieved his ends. The political history of the United States since that time has been a history of personal gov- ernment without parallel since the Declaration of Independence. He perceives the immediate importance of an jand heaps contumely upon Gen. Miles, whom he’ Isthmian canal, not sb much as a great national avenue of commerce as a great campaign issue for his benefit. He makes the United States Gov- ernment an accessory to a Panama revolution after Colombia has rejected his canal treaty. Congress is about to create a Department of Commerce and Labor. He pleads for a Bureau of Corporations on the ground that “publicity in the interest of the public,” is the first requisite in dealing with combinations of capital, Congress yields to his request. He makes George B. Cor- telyou, his private secretary, head of the Depart- ment. There is no publicity; but Mr. Cortelyou, who was in general charge of the work of in- vestigating corporations, is made chairman of the Republican National Committee, to collect cam- paign contributions from the very corporations subject to investigation. As an appeal to the Grand Army vote he issues Pension Order No. 78, creating a service pension without authority of Congress and taking money from the Public Treasury without-warrant of law. He cultivates every field of publicity and self- advertisement. The White House is converted into a press agency for the dissemination of informa- tion in regard to him. He neglects the duties of his office to tour the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, making speeches. whose scarcely veiled purpose is to insure his nomination for President. These journeys by special train are made at the expense of the railroads which he purposes to regulate until Congress finally ends the scandal by giving him $25 ,000 a@ year for trav- eling expenses. Hanna is dead, and the President seizes control of the Republican organization. He sends to the convention which sullenly nominates him against its will the jingo “Perdicaris-alive-or-Raisuli- dead” messags, and then assumes the manage- ment of his own campaign, concerning himself even with the collection of the campaign fund something no other president ever goiled his hands with. Wall street is quick to appreciate the significance of his activities. The insurance companies contribute $150,089) of policy holders’ money; Harriman raises a fund of $260,000. The Standard Oil Co. gives $100,000. “The male- factors of great wealth” make a generous re sponse, while Mr. Roosevelt over his own signa- ture denounces Judge Parker’s charges as “un- qualifiedly and atrociously false.” he interprets it as an indorsement lence and autocratic methods, the attention of his followers he t new violence and new usurpation, lected by an unprecedented popular majority, oer ~~ - rae Fs Oe as ' | 5 eral action.” ‘The courts are to be eliminated as obstacles to the exercise of his imperial will. | ** ATTACKING THE COURTS.” | More and more, judges and the , : objects of his disfavor. Judge ‘Humphrey’s de- cision in the Beef Trust case is “& miscarriage of justice,” which “came near making the law 2 farce.” The decision of the United States Court of Appeals in the Standard Oil case is “a gross miscarriage of justice.” Other judges “show in- ‘ability or unwillingness:to put a step to wrong- doing,” or “by lagging’ behind in their under- standing do lasting harm.” Some “owe their aD- \pointment or election to the money or favor of a great corporation” or to “pandering to dema- gogic sentiments,” blood brothers presumably to the judge “who truckles to the mob or bows down before a corporation.” Upright and fearless judges, however, are “bulwarks of the courts:” yet when Justice Holmes refused to decide ac- cording to the President’s wishes in the North- ern Securities case, Mr. Roosevelt’s anger was almost beyond bounds. ‘Not satisfied with bulldozing the courts and seeking to make judges the creatures of his will, he tries to undermine the constitutional inde- pendence of Congress. There is abundant pat- ronage for subservjent senators and representa- tives. He uses the Federal machinery to bring about their re-election, endeavoring to make their offices appointive rather than elective. He writes letters to influence their constituents. If they are defeated he makes them qudges or commis- sioners. Congressmen who oppose him know that he will spare no effort to defeat them. He seeks to influence their home newspapers against them. He artfully spreads report that they are actuated by ulterior motives. Carrying this method to its logical cofclusion, he assails the integrity of the entire Congress, alleging that the appropriation bill was amended for the benefit of criminals because “the congressmen did not | themselves wish to be investigated by secret any ice men.” When the House of Representatives adopts a resolution censuring him for his slander he seeks} to divert attention by writing a letter wan- tonly besmirching the honor and integrity of Senator Tillman, without justification of fact. He publicly attacks Senator Perkins for opposing his battleship schemes. He seeks to implicate sen- ators in an alleged $5,000,000 conspiracy to control } the national convention, He makes public pri- vate correspondence in an attempt to discredit: Senator Foraker for Foraker’s attempt to se- cure justice for the colored soldiers whom Mr. Roosevelt had morally lynched by executive or- der. He tells former Senator Chandler that Sen- ators Spooner, Knox and Foraker are trying to wreck the rate bill by ingenious constitutional arguments, and when Senator Tillman makes this accusation public he charges Chandler with utter- ing “a deliberate and unqualified falsehood.” He insinuates that Representative Wadsworth is a tool of the Beef Trust and accuses Senator Bey- eridge of deceiving him about the meat inspection ; bill. Not gatisffed with forcing Bellamy Storer to re- sign as Ambassador to Vienna, he publicly hu- miliates Mrs. Storer as well. He makes his doctor-friend, Leonard Wood, a Major-General, , dislikes. He assails rebaters and refuses to pros- ecute his friend Paul Morton for rebating. When Admiral Brownson resigns as Chief of the B of Navigation because he is unwilling that a navy surgeon should command a hospital ship, Mr. Roosevelt censures Brownson’s action as “un- seemly and improper,” while suppressing the Ad-~ miral’s official explanation. Col. W. F. Stewart] declines to be retired and is exiled to Fort Grant} “until he can be compulsorily retired at the age of 62 years.” Even the dead do not escape his petty vindictiveness, for when he makes a speech at the dedication of the monument on the battle- field of Antietam he avoids all mention of Gen, McClellan’s name, although it was McClellan’s victory that enabled Lincoln to issue the emanct- pation proclamation. After Harriman refuses to contribute to the Republican campaign fund in 1906 he brands him as ari “undesirable citizen,” along with Moyer and Haywood, who are on trial for their lives. Hav- ing charged the aged Assistant Attorney-General Tyner with “gross corruption” and had him in- dicted by a grand jury, he ignores Tyner’s pa-|. thetic appeal for vindication after acquittal, and the old man dies broken hearted. He sends Elihu Root to make a speech during the 1906 campaign jn New York accusing Mr. Hearst ‘in effect of having been morally an accomplice to the mur- der of President McKinley. Two years later he receives Mr. Hearst at the White House. The Boston Herald prints something that displeases him and he deprives it of the news of the depart- ments, including the weather forecast. A woman clerk in the War Department is dismissed for writing a letter to a Washington newspaper cen- suring the administration’s Philippine policy. When threatening letters are sent to a Southern Postmistress, instead of punishing the guilty he closes the Postoffice and deprives the citizens of "Il their mail. ‘‘MEDDLES WITH EVERYTHING.”’ He undertakes to remove “In God We Trust” from the coinage; he details a $1000 from the Treasury to serve as his barber; he

WHIPPLE’S anxiety concern- M ing her bey was not without foundation. There were certain weaknesses in his character that justi- fied her desire for sympathy arid assist- ance in her necessarily waning care of him. She believed tha supposed to accompany such a tem- erament, he had inherited from ferself. here was a noticeable strain of his father, however, which she detecetd in the boy’s ready and almost fanatical ad- vocacy of any hopeless cause that made its appeal to the humanities. He was emotional; unquestionably much ~ of Clay’s decorative talent could be at- tributed to this fact, but his greatest danger also lay there. All his life he had — subject to a kind of intellec- tual vertigo, at times approaching per- ilously to irresponsibility, As a boy of 10 he had leaped into the Schuylkill to save a playmate from drowning. Unable himself to swim a stroke, he had only doubled the task of the competent rescuers. At 12, when an itinerant exhorter was calling the guilty to repentance, and bemoaning the fact that in all his audience of sinners none had the courage to lead the peni- ten® to the altar, Clay had unhesitating- ly accepted the call and been the first to the bench. At 16, after a baffling ab- sence of four days, he was discovered in Tampa, whither he had fled with a regi- ment of Pennsylvania volunteers in an almost inflexible resolution to avenge the destruction of the Maine. He was peculiarly amenable to sug- gestion, to approval, to rebuke. These qualities, while they caused the boy un- countable suffering, also won for him many friends. The firm of distinguished architects with which .Brookfield’s in- vited influence had been able to place him was already finding his tempera- ment a considerable asset in its pro- fessional relations with women clients. Clay had an almost feminine interest in the detail of decoration—he had an eye for form and color. That he should fall in love with the beautiful niece of Brookfield was an_ inevitable conse- quence of his association with her. Left alone with Viola, Clay turned to her with characteristic impulsiveness and said: “What was Frank Hardmuth saying to you?’”’ ‘When?’ asked the girl, with that Fabian evasion which is the heritage of the sex. “At supper and in the box at the the- ater, too.’ ~ UA, Frank Hardmuth,”” she pouted, playfully; ‘nobody pays any attention to, him.’ my thought you paid a pa deal of attention to what he was saying.”’ “Im the same theater party a girl's got to listen or leave the box.’ “Some persons listen to the opera.”’ “T told him that was what I wanted to do.’’ fs ‘Was he we | love to you, Viola? ‘lI shouldn’t call it that. “Would anybody else have called it that if they had overheard it?” Clay persisted. ‘I don’t think so.’ “Won't you te me what 6 ae Viola waited. .There is somehting so personal in every declaration of love, implied or direct, complimentary or questionable, that a woman iastinctively guards it, not necessarily as sacred, but it was . strangely interested in Justice Prentice, wht T his artistic tem- | perament, and many of the weaknessea 7 the honorable thing is to speak, to her guardian.’ its persistency.

There are other ways of becoming en- gaged. The process is one so volatile that almost every ingredient or con- tribution, whether of time or place or circu stance, alters its chemistry.

Helen regarded the young couple with scarcely a flutter of astonishment; but Mrs. Campbell, doubly on the defensive both as the mother of the weaker ves- sel and as the quasi-hostess exclaimed, in commingly astonishment, warning and rebuke: . hy, Viola!’’ ‘I’ve asked her,’’ Clay said, address- ing his mother and still retaining hold of Viola’s hand. Mrs. Campbell turned nent it to her guest. ‘“‘Helen, you new

There were two nights under our last city government when nothing but the influence of this Frank Hard- muth”—at the mention of the name. she dropped her voice and glanced cautious- ly toward the dining roéom, whence Hardmuth’s harsh laughter could be heard issuing—‘‘nothing but his influ- ence kept the police from coming into this. house and arresting everybody— think of it!” “Dreadful!’’ ’ ‘Now, that’s something, Helen, that I wouldn’t tell a soul but you—Viola doesn’t_know it: but Jack’s card play- ing cafhe between you and him years ago, and so you may know it—you may even have some influence with Jack.” “T?’? Helén sizhed and smiled pathetic- ally. “Oh, no.’’ “‘Yes,”’ Alice answered, firmly, “this supper tonight was Jack’s idea for you— the box at the opera for you.’ “Why, he didn’t even sit with us.” “Also for you. Jack Brookfield is a more notable character in = Louisville today than he was 22 years ago. His company would have made you the subject of: unpleasant comment, That’s why he left us alone in the box.” “Isn’t it a pity—a terrible pity,” Helen mused, slowly. “A ‘terrible pity,” Mrs. Campbell between them echoed. Further confidences were prevented by the entrance of the men from the dining room. “T tell the gentlemen we've left the ladies to themselves long enough, Mrs. Campbell,””’ Hardmuth sald, in a prose- cutor’s rasping voice slightly stimulated. “Quite long enough, Mr. Hardmuth.’”’ “Where's the young lady—Jack’s niece?” inquired Denning, frankly, look- ing about for the more attractive metal. “In the billiard room, I believe,” Helen answered. »+ “Oh,”’ said Denning. in undisguised disappointment, “‘Jack’s been telling us what a great girl .she is.”’ Helen, heard Jack growling in an un- dertoné of rebuke to Denning. ‘IT meant unlucky at billisrds, *” Den- — defended himself, in hopeless audi- bility. ‘“‘They’re all right, ain’t they?’’ As he left Jack and moved toward the ladies in exorlerated self-satisfaction, he said to Mrs. Campbell: / “T can see now that your daughter re- sembies ‘you.’’ ‘T think Clay and‘I should be going,’’ Helen suggested to Mrs. Campbell. The surroundings, so agreeable a few moments before, had grown aadinents distasteful. Dennine’s duliness and Hardmuth’s aggressive coarseness were doubly offensive when she regarded them as associate factors in her boy’s ‘degradation. She caught a reflection of her own thought in Mrs. Campbell’s troubled countenance and a quitk pity for the womansso unfortunately situat- ed tempered e severity of her tone and attitude. Jack had drawn his”~ watch and was ag. tr repent ony t’s only a little after 12, and no one oa goes to sleep in this house be- fore 2.” Helen caught his glance, and again in its telegraphy she read his understand- ing of the contretemps and his assur- ance that the real Brookfield was far above the mental squalor of the asso- ciation. Mrs. Campbell took Helen's =

hand in silent furtherance of Jack's invitation. Helen, referring | ta the rat in. the billiard room. exce ssed into the which Denning‘s voice drawled in dim se uendo: don’t live there.” To.

If one were to judge from the work shown in the little practice game of yesterday afternoon, he could not say anything complimentary. There was not a single youngster who did a single sen- sational thing. In fact, they lagged and made glaring errors; but it. must be re- membered they have had but two days in camp and most of them are so sore they cannot walk without Himping. But playing a little game every afternoon lends spice to the practice and makes it more interesting. It also gives the fellows a chance to acquire team work.

Now Bresnahan admits that he could give his players enough -work in the aft- ernoon to get them in condition, but he has another purpose in making them get out in the mornings also. If the “boys don’t have to get out until after- noon it means they don’t have to get up early in the morning, Under these aaneonditions, it-is hot necessary to go to bed early at night to get a satisfactory ,amount of sleep, consequently the player ‘is. going to sit up late or go out in “the evening and spend his time and money and in no profitable way.

New York fans always saw the Giants in shape to play ball at top speed from the very first day of the season. They did it by hard work, and when I got the job as manager of the St. Louis club, I made up my mind to one thing at once, and that was that I would get the fellows into the training camp as s00n as possible and work them just as herd as I could until the be- ginning of the season. “Well, we are doing it, and unless bad weather or accidents. prevent, we will have a team fit to go the limit in the opening game in Chicago on April 14.

Greeks remem- bered that the first Marathon run end- ed in the death of the soldier who made it. Doubtless in more or less direct ways, Marathons can shoulder respon- sibility for many another demise. Imagine, then, the insanity which is betraying promoters and track coaches into sending unformed American youths into such bitter tests as long-distance races involve. It serves no purpose; it is not spectacular; it is most injurious to immature constitutions; and, accord- ing to many authorities, it is a)together too great a strain to impose upon even the stoutest heart. No Excuse for Marathons. There is about as much excuse for a young man competing in a Marathon leg strainer as there is for an-infant to participate in..an endurance milk- drinking bout.

If all reports ot Pitcher Justus, who comes to\the Browns from the Lancaster team of the Ohio State League, are true, the recruit is a won- derful strike-out pitcher. Jdmes Hal- lam of Cincinnati, a friend of Justus, who has many times seen him -work, says of him: ‘“T have seen him strike out 22 men in one game, when he was pitching for the Krebs-Hamilton.team, a semi-pro- fessional aggregation which belongéd to @ small league with headquarters at Cincinnati. On the team last year with Justus was a friend of mine, White, a pitcher. I believe the Boston team has signed him. I spoke to, him of Justus and he tells me that he will make a sensation in the big league, if the Browns have a good catcher te take care of him. He says that Justus never loses his temper and has the best speed he has ever seen, I believe, like White,’’ added Hallam, ‘“‘that he will push Wad- dell for the strike-out record, as he is almost impossible te hit when his con- trol is good.” As last year the “find” pitched four no-hit games, it seems safe to say there is some Justus in Hallam’s remarks.

I great distress. My stomach often- times would not retain food. Gas was constantly forming on my _ stomach, my tongue was coated and my heart fluttered. I had but little strength and was Miserable all of the time. “The doctors pronounced my trouble dyspepsia, but they did not help me. I seemed to grow worse, and was occa- sionally confined to my bed. Through a friend, who had used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, I gave them a trial. I could see some benefit in a short time and was so encouraged that I took the pills steadily until cured.

List Declines in Final Hour: Transactions Below the Average.

. NEW YORK, March 4, 12:30 p. m. The forenoon hours of the session were the dullest that have been seen on the Exchange this year. Price movements were unimportant. Although a few of the important speculative is- sues scored gains, the general trend of the market was downward.’ A large percentage of stocks were unchanged. Anaconda, National Lead, Colorado Fuel and Iron and Pacific Mail declined % each, Steel common advanced % and Consolidated Gas 1! point. Smelting, Amalgamated Copper and Steel pre- ferred were at parity. In the rails division Great Northern. Illinois Central, Northern Pacific and Pennsylvania lost 4% each, and Wiscon- sin Central preferreg*%. St. Paul, Read- ing, Union Pacific, Wisconsin Centra: common and Kansas City Southern ad- vancéd ¥% ‘each. Atchison, B. & O., B R. T., Canadian’ Pacific, D. & &. G., Missouri Pacific, New York Central, Rock Island preferred: and Wabash pre- ferred were unchanged. The only stocks that showed any ac- tivity were Reading and Union Pacific, the former being markedly so. The extent and charactef of the trad- ing can be gathered from .the fact that the total sales to noon amounted to only 164,200 shares. The stock market opened today with small fractional changes from the close. A majority of the list’ was higher, but there were recessions in several of the issues, and several were unchanged. Amalgamated gained %, Steel common lost % and Pacific Mail % point. Smelt- ing and Steel preferred were at par- ity. In the railway list Chicago-Northwest- ern declined %, St. Paul, D. & R. G. and Great Northern 4 each, Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania and Union Pa- cifie advanced % each, Rock Island \, Atchison and B. R. T. % each, B. & O. and M., K. & T. % each and Canadian Pacific % point. New York Central, Reading Southern Pacific were unchanged. Price movements were very small in the first half hour. The tendency of the market seemed to be higher. The Wisconsin Central issues, Harri- man Pacifics, Reading and New York Central scored slight advances, while Northern Pacific and Brooklyn Rapid Transit fell away. The industrials were practically un- changed. Business was exceedingly light, trading being almost at a stand- still. Americans in about parity. and rd London were steady ,% BANK STATEMENTS 7s March 4.—-The weekly ‘statement Bank of France shows the follow- it p ... mises oe circulation increased 188,500,000 87,900,000 160,150,000

ri MORFIT ON CHARTER BOARD —— Republican Chairman Assents to Substituting Physician for Hoffmann: a TELLS KOELN TO ACT He Will See Chairman Ward of the Democratic Commit- tee About Change. aS

Jeptha D. Howe, chairman of the Re- publican .City. Committee, wired from Washington Thursday to the Post-Dis- ‘ patch, expressing his willingness te sub- stitute Dr. John C. Morfit’s name for that of August H. Hoffmann on the bi- partisan ticket fer the Board of I'ree- holders te revise the city charter. He also wired to %cawara Koeln, vice- chairman of the City Committee, asking him te confer at once with Chairman Ward of the Democratic Committee, to bring about the change. Koeln said Thursday that he would communicate with Ward immediately and would try to have Dr. Morfit’s name placed on the ticket within afew days. Hoffmann, in a letter to the Post-Dis- patch, and in an interview published on Wednesday, expressed his willingness to retire from.the ticket to makesroom for a physician. Howe Willing te Make Change. Following the publication of Hoff- mann’s ‘etter and interview Wednes- day, the Post-Dispatch wired to Chair- man Howe, informing him ef Hoff- mann’s proposal and asking whether he would assent te the nomination of a physician in Hoffmann’'s stead. The tesegram to Howe stated that Dr. Mor- fit appeared to be the first choice of the physicians, but asked Howe to ex- press any preference he might have. Howe's reply was as follows: WASHINGTON, March 4, 1909. Post-Dispatch, St. Louls, Mo.—I believe the Republjcan subcommittee would be willing to substitute Dr. Morfit in place of Hoffmann, but this would have to be agreeable to the Democratic subcommittee. If they will agree, I am sure the matter can be arranged. Hdward Koeln, vice-chairman Re- publican Committee, is authorized to act in my place and has my oon- sent to make this change, but I would consent te no other change without being consulted. The Republican and Democratic subcommittees must be called to- gether in order to agree upon the change¢ Hoffmann must then resign and both the Republican and Demo- — cratic city committees must take of- ficial action to fill the vacancy on the ticket, and both committees cer- tify their action to the Board of Election Commissioners. JEPTHA D. HOWE. Demecratic Chairman Assents. Chairman Ward ef the Democratic City Committee stated, in an interview published in cennection with Heffmann’'s statement Wednesday, that he would approve of the change if Howe did. He said it was a® matter chiefly for the Republicans to consider, as Hoff- mann is one of the six Republican members of the bi-partisan Freeholders’ ticket. Howe’s assent te the plan indicates that it will be carried out. The choice | ‘of Dr. Morfit has been urged by the St. Louis Medical Society and by scores of individual physicians. Hoffmann’s decision to resign and make way for a physician was reached after reading an interview ‘with Dr. Bransford Lewis in Tuesday’s Post-Dis- patch. Dr. Lewis pointed out that the modernizing of the Health Department was one of the most important details of the charter revision to be under- taken by the Board of Freeholders, and that a medical man should be on the Board for that purpose.
