In round numbers, we keep 80 per cent OF our
markets and surrender 10 per cent to the OUTSIDE
world. ...
All the nations of the world, including the
United States, export. in round numbers ten
billions. We export one billion four hundred
millions We keep then, 80 per cent OF our
own markets. and we get II per cent Of the ex-
port markets Of the world. =, ~
There are twenty-si1 nations. including the
United States, that have balance Of trade in
their favor; and in the aggregate they have a
balance of trade in their favor Of one billion.

in Washington at that time requiring his
attention, and SO he feels that he will
be able to proceed leisurely On the pres
ent trip he will barely touch the extreme
eastern edge of South Dakota, and will
not be in North Dakota at all.
Aside from the personal pleasure which
the president will have in revisiting the
scenes of his earlier activities, there will
be an immense political significance In
such a trip. Already he has visited the
south and New England. He is now go
ing through the states of the Ohio valley
and the middle northwest. The trip out
lined for next year will put him in
personal touch, as president, with the
Pacific slope, the southwest and the far
northwest. He will thus have made a
complete tour of the country a year In ad-
vance Of the presidential nomination Of
1904, and in such way as to prevent his
political opponents from accusing him OF
campaigning. The president may have
nothing political in view in these trips,
but nevertheless they will bring him close
to the people in a personal way and estab-
lish him more securely in their esteem.
1t hardly need to be said that these
tours in the last analysis, make for good,
regardless Of what incidental politics may
creep into them. The people are the
gamers by being able to see their ch1e1
executive and hear from his own lips
statement regarding vital public issues,
and 1t is very likely that the presidential
tour, as developed by Mckinley, and re-
tanned by Roosevelt, has come to stay,
and is filing, in an important and salts
factory manner long felt want They
will increase rather than decrease In
number, and many reasons will com bine
to make stronger with each succeeding
administration the necessity for the pres
ident's meeting the people personally and
giving them a frank and fair outline OF
administration policy

Captain Titus said Young had made the
following statement: =

named Charles Simpson Filling in Central

times at my fat. ..5... '-..'
ION the night Mrs. Pulitzer died, Filling
and I met her at Broadway and Forty
sixth street by appointment. We went to
the fiat together. I went out for some
whisky after we got there and left Filling
and the woman alone. When got back
I found Mrs. Pulitzer lying across the
bed with a gag in her mouth. Filling had
gone. I ripped open her clothing and
moved her hands back and forth over her
head to induce respiration. When she did
not breathe put my hand under her waist
and felt her heart. It was not beating.
Then 1 decided to notify the police, but
thought that instead Of calling police

I thought was in the city hall. got on
a. train and started down town and on the
way got to thinking what a lot OF dis
grace the affair would bring upon me and
my father. That made me decide to get
rid Of the body.
IT took a. long knife and cut into the
body, intending to cut the body up so that
I could get it into trunk. When made
the first cut the odor was so awful that
I could go no further"
Captain Titus said that the prisoner
described Filing as being a man about 20
years old, smooth-face, five feet seven
inches in height, with bright, clear
looking eye, a pale face and wearing dark
clothes, with a straw hat when last seen. "
Captain Titus said that Young had not
explained. how the woman came by the
wounds on her head.

COURAGE OF. TEDDY
The President Saying What He
Thinks on This Trip Regardless
of Political Advice.
Michigan Politics and What Hap.
pened at Detroit-How the
Trip Habit Has Grown.
Special to The Journal.


En- Route with President Roosevelt,
Sept. 22.-Whatever else may be said Of
President Roosevelt, he. has the courage
of his convictions, and this will be thor
oughly demonstrated in the progress Of
his northwestern trip. At Cincinnati, he
began by talking the tariff and negativing
the proposition that to revise the tariff
is to control the trusts At Detroit,
Monday night he addressed the Spanish
war veterans and naturally led up to rec
iprocity. He repeated and emphasized
his arguments, made on the southern and
the New England tours. in favor Of rec
iprocity with Cuba, and he did this re-
CARELESS of what the effect of his speech
might be on the political fortunes Of
prominent republicans in Michigan. In
other addresses it Is fair to assume thathe
will recur in the tariff question, and per-
haps go into details regarding certain
propositions briefly referred to at Gin
cinnati. BY the time the party has re-
turned to Washington the country is
likely to know exactly where the presi-
dent stands on the proposal to revise the
tariff independently of the trusts just
as it already knows where he stands on
the proposal to revise the tariff as
means Of getting at the trusts. AS the
matter is understood at present. 1t is the
intention Of the president to be entirely
true to his old time reputation for hon
tour. He will probably didscuss fear
lessly every one of the great questions Of
the day, and give an outline of policy I'M
hampered by considerations Of political
expediency. --.-.~,'-- 80
1t wasn't the wish of certain influential
men in the republican party that he
should do this, and many Of them whom
he entertained at Oyster Bay in the weeks
immedia-Aa1y preceding the present tour,
strongly urged him to $50 SLOW" to 'be
careful" to make no mistakes" etc.
when you go into the vest they said.
don't discuss the tariff in this locality,
the trusts in that locality, or Cuban rec
iprocity in the other locality. The result
may be bad. You may injure yourself by
such a course, and, what would be worse,
injure the entire party ,..
The president didn't like this talk, for
1t ran counter to all his plans. He was
not long in making up his mind to disre-
gard the advice offered so freely by we'll
meaning but mistaken friends, and to fol-
low his original bent. He felt not only
that he had his reputation for frankness
and courage at stake, but what was OF
more importance to him, the proposal tc
compromise with his conscience came
staring him in the face. The speeches
Of the present tour are Roosevelt's own

Special to The Journal.
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 23.-President
Roosevelt's trip to Indianapolis to-day was
in furtherance Of his plan for the restora-
ton of harmony between the rival bodies
of veterans Of, the Spanish war;. He ac-
cepted the Detroit invitation a number Of
week ago and the itinerary of the present
trip was made accordingly. 1t omitted
Indianapolis, where the rival body was to
meet at the same time as the one in De-
stroit. One morning several weeks ago the
.pres!dent, after the itinerary had been
closed. requested Secretary Cortelyou to
change it 80. as to include Indianapolis
The change was made and hence it comes
that the hoosiers capital is to be visited.
f. 1t IS the presidents earnest desire to
5unite the two bodies and he felt that If he
visited che and not the other his influence
as a peace-maker might be destroyed, to
say nothing Of the implied discourtesy
The prominent men of both bodies gen.
orally favor union and many belong to
both. The president belongs only to the
Spanish War Veterans association, the
body now meeting in Detroit It is be-
loved that through his efforts harmony
will be restored.

ing any hardship upon the man who

asks for an increased tax upon the fell
low who wants to possess more than
one. The following petition to the
county court is being circulated for
signers, and is meeting with a ready
response among farmers generally as
well as among sheep owners:
To the Hon. County Court Of Jefferson
County, w. Va:
Your petitioners, citizens and taxpay-
ers of this county, respectfully request
that the Assessors Of the county be here
after required TO assess all the dogs in
the county, giving not only their gem
der, but the kind and color OF each dog,
so that they may be identified by the
person authorized TO collect the tax.
The tax now fixed by law is fifty cents
on dogs and one dollar on bitches, but
leaves it to your discretion to fix an ad-
ditional tax on all dogs and bitches in
excess of one owned by any one person
or kept about the same house, and we
respectfully request that you exercise
this discretion, and that the tax be fixed
at 81. 90 each on all dogs and $500 each
on all bitches owned by any one person
over and above one.
We believe that such an assessment
Of the dog tax will be greatly TO the ad-
vantage of the sheep industry of this
county, and indirectly to the benefit Of
all our people.
