WORKING AGAINST ROOSEVELT
Democrats Making Much of the
Labor Issue for Partisan
Purposes.

The democratic campaign managers,
1t is said, are plotting to defeat the nom
ination of President Roosevelt, and they
think they can accomplish this by a
dexterous use of the Miller incident in
the government printing Office at Wash
ington. They are gathering all the facts
they can find on this issue, with the in
tention of using them in the meetings
which will be held to nominate delegates
to the convention next year, with the
hope of turning the president down, says
the st. Louis Democrat. Just at
present, therefore, the democrats liter
airy bureau at Washington is busy in a
direction which, they think, will cause
great embarrassment to the republicans.
There is nothing in this Miller episode
which can harm the president or his
party. Mr.. Roosevelt said in the Miller
case that the laws of the nation were
superior to those of any organization in
1t, and that those laws would have to
prevail in the management of the gov
ernment's affairs. The labor organiza-
lions have accepted this ruling as just,
and they are making no opposition to It.
The more important journals published
by the labor organizations have taken
the presidents side in the affair. So far
as can be learned, the Miller incident Is
closed.
The president and his party have
shown their friendship for the labor
cause so often that the democrats who
are trying to make capital out of the
government printing Office incident will
fail. In the coal strike last year the
presidents influence aided union labor,
and at the same time gave great help to
the masses of the people, who are far
more numerous and important than the
labor organizations. The one party in
the country's history which has been
the intelligent and persistent champion
of the cause of labor is the republican
party. In its tariff acts and the home
stead law II did more for the workers of
the country than the democratic party
ever thought of doing, or ever would DO
II 1t could. Neither President Roosevelt
nor the republican party has anything
to fear from the bringing up Of the labor
issue in any phase by the democrats.
The more the cause of labor. organized
and unorganized. Is talked about in tho
canvass the more votes will be cast for
the republican ticket.
DFree trade looks as promising as
Imperialism for the democratic issue.
The democratic party needs time
about five years--for thought.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

WILL DEVELOP
INTER- DEPOSITS
Expedition Starts on an
Important Mission
to Desert.
Bailey's Discoveries Lead to
Exploitation Of Wild
Region.

TIE actual value of the vast inter de-
p0sits Of the Mojave Desert, in Southern
California, is about to be determined.
Some months ago The Call published an
account of the discoveries made by Pro
fessor Gilbert Z. Bailey, then employed
by the State Mining Bureau of California.
The California inter deposits were said
by Bailey, to rival ia extent and richness
the inter beds of Chile, which are still the
worlds sole source OF inter supply. Last
year Chile exported 1.417. .2S5 metric tons
Of inter. This output may yet be rivaled
by California.
Professor Bailey has just been sent by
the American Niter Company. equipped
with 100 men and horses and all the nee
essary paraphernalia to prospect and de-
velop the deposits of the Mojave Desert

the inter region OF the Mojave Desert

RAILROAD BUILDING
IN ISLAND OF CUBA
New Road in Operation Between
Santiago and Havana a Very
Important Work.

A railroad train left Santiago de Cuba
a short time since for Havana direct
with $50 passengers To newspaper read
ers in the United States this may seem
perfectly commonplace statement,
hardly worth making. To the people of
the island of Cuba, however, the runniue.
of that railroad train is an event of high
Importance, for it was the first regular
train over the new road built by the
Cuba Company, of which Sir William
Van Horne is the moving spirit. This
road runs from Santiago something over
300 miles through the heart of the island
to Santa Clara where 1t makes a juno
ton with existing lines. connecting Glen
fuegos on the south and with Matanzas
on the north shore. Cuba has now about
800 miles of railway in operation The
new line just opened by the Cuba Com
pany is important to the political and
industrial life of the island, for the rea-
son that it connects its two principal
cities, Havana and Santiago. and that 1t
traverses that great belt of territory in
the center of the island which has hither-
to had no facilities for transportation
save those afforded by perhaps the worst
roads in the world. The new line IS the
backbone of the Cuban railroad system.
Rail connection is now opened up from
the province Of Pinar del Rio in the west
to Santiago in the east, practically the
entire length of the island. AS CONNER
cial need develops, lateral branches will
connect the central line with seaports on
the north and south shores. Some short
lines are already in operation from these
ports TO points few miles inland. Ex-
cessively high freight and passenger
charges have hitherto limited the traffic
of Cuban railroads to those who are
under the pressure of strict necessity
With the growth of her railroad svs+en,
and of her commerce, the island may
now expect the benefit of more reasonable
rates. 1t is reported that the new COM
pany has adopted an enlightened policy
of liberality in this respect.-New York
