At Green River Governor Roosevelt said:
under the administration of President

conditions as they existed seven or eight
years ago with the conditions as they
exist now. Free wool was one of the
cries during the Cleveland administration.
Compare the price of wool then with what
it is now. Then we were to have free
wool, and, as some inc said to me the
other day. we came within six cents of it
Things are different now. Let every train
man, or man who works in the shops,
compare four years ago with the present
time as to the matter of getting work.
Then it was not easy to get work, now
any man who wants to work can get it.

tinue or whether you want to take the

/. WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Prof. ". j.
jerks, of the Industrial Commission, who
has been in Europe for some months
studying the trust problem there, reports
that he found the trust situation in Eng
land and on the Continent about the same
as in this country, although it was not
causing as much public comment. The
industrial consolidation there. had been
forced by the same causes, according to
Prof. jerks. the same as. in this country.
namely, severe competition and small
profits of the Individual concerns.
He says that the methods pract.ced con-
sist in dispensing with i. numper of en-
ployes and especially superintendent,
statesmen and clerical force when the COM
bination is affected, and as the combina-
lions abroad usually control SO TO 80 per
cent. of Their product, and in some cases
all of the market. it is possible for them
TO put up prices practically at will.
In England, says Prof jerks, it is gen
orally believed that publicity is the only
protection against aggressive industrial
combinations, and many prominent men
think that the Government can go no
further than this.

the Investigation is to be made thorough
as possible.
POLICE AID NOT INVOKED.
Efforts We're made to reach the presi-
dent of the bank at an early hour this
morning, but he could not be communicated
with. It is understood that the aid of the
detectives has not been sought yet by the
bank officers, and it may not be neces-
sary to invoke their assistance. The only
thing that makes it look as il there is an
actual loss of 5000 in money TO the bank
is that both the president and the paying
teller have offered rewards in connection
with the matter.
The teller is one of the Oldest and most
trusted banking officials IN Richmond, and
his accounts have always been found to be
correct. No one suspects that the dis
crepancy is due to any failure on his part
to do his full duty. The situation is SIM
ply that there is 5000 less in the vaults
of the bank than should be there, accord
ing to the books of the institution, unless
the money has rolled into some remote
part of the vault and has not yet been
discovered.
This is the first discrepancy OF conse-
quence that has occurred in one of the
Richmond banks in several years, and
has naturally caused some furry.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, VA,
September 22.-Only one more week of foot
ball practice remains before Coach HoX-
ton must pick from his candidates some
kind of team to line UP against the
husky eleven from St Adams School.
Practice was held as usual yesterday al
ternoon, there being over forty applicants
out Work continuing along the same
1ines-running down under kicks and tack
ling constituting the favorite form of ex-
ercise. Coleman and Elsom did the kick
ing, which was very creditable.
FIRST TEAM.
Before practice was ended Hoxton Sc
1ected what might be called an embryo
first team, and ran them up and down the
field a few times for signal practice. Lee
Taylor and Mccall were ends, Cook and
Waters tackles, Houston and Haskell
guards Montgomery was given the ball
at centre. Tutwier and Moran alternated
at quarter Landlord and Church we're
the half-backs and Fugate the full-back.
Another eleven was formed by Paul
Cooke, the assistant coach, with the fol-
lowing players: Hall and Bride ends, Hen
Hurt guards, Warwick centre, Mason
quarter back, Virginus Dabney and john
son half-backs, Coleman full-bach.
THE LINEUP.
For ten minutes the two teams lined up
against each other The players of the
eleven in possession of the ball were not
allowed to advance by running with it,
however. In each instance the pigskin
was passed to the full-back. who sant ii
up the field in order to the give the players
practice in lodging and tacklns. Both
Coleman and Dabney made some pretty
runs before they could be downed.
The schedule of game has not yet been
completed. but will be given out by Mana
ger Wills in a few days.

THE FINAL MEETING.
Letter Issued Causin. Democrats 10
Combine for Struggle.
Try Associated Press

NEW YORK, Sept 22.-The call for the
final meeting of Democratic Clubs to be
held at indianapolis. was issued to-day by
w. j. Bryan and a. E. Stevenson, Dem
ocrat candidates for the presidency and
vice-presidency, James *. Jones, OF the
Democratic National Committee, and w.
r. Hearst, president of the National
League of Democratic Clubs.
The letter says:
t'The near approach of the meeting Of
the League Of Democratic Clubs Impress
es upon Democrats everywhere the ne
cessity Of increasing the work of club or
ganization. This is field of patriotic en-
deavor, III which every citizen of every
State and Territory can be reasonably eN-
pected to take his place. Patriotism can
accomplish little until it is active, brave
and practical.
THE Democratic party is opposed to the
establishment Of Independent colonies
under the American flag; is pledged to in
cessant warfare against trusts and every
form of private monopoly. The Kansas
City platform has arrayed against the
Democracy the combined power of those
who profit by Ubiquitous law, government
favoritis1l, and perversions of the Const,-
tuition of the United States.
"a vast corruption fund has been
contributed to the Republican party
by men whose personal greed is
Y
institutions, Just legislation and an i'm
partial administration of the laws. Unless
the control of the Government and its
policies are to be determined by the cor
rupt use of money the people must be
awakened to realizing sense of the dead
~ peril environing their most sacred dem
ocratic institutions.
"All Democratic State and local commit
tees are requested to see to it that no pre-
cinct shall be without a Democratic Club.
Time presses, and there should be no de-
lay The enemy is powerful, vigilant and
active. It is important that every Demo-
cratic organization in the country should
joint the National Association of Demo-
cratic Clubs, Headquarters No. 1870 Broad
way, New York. and should send dele
gates to the Convention OF Democratic
Clubs. It is important that the number Of
clubs should be greatly increased before
