WATCHING MORGAN.

Mr.. John Shelton Williams, president
of the Seaboard Air Line system, as
serts that a majority of the securities
of that system is held by his firm, and
that there is no present prospect of
the system passing under a new man
agement, or out of control of Southern
interests or losing it's independence.
Mr.. Williams is optimistic with re-
spect to the future of the road of his
firm, and of the South. And there
are good reasons for his optimism. The
situation has improved steadily since
the announcement of the embarrass-
ment of the Williams and Middendorf
firms, with every prospect that in the
final adjustment everything viii work
out satisfactorily.
Nevertheless. railroad circles in Bal
timore, Richmond and New York are
watching ]. Pierpont Morgan. There
is an undercurrent of belief that an
effort will be made to turn the diff
culties of the Seaboard syndicate to
the advantage of Mr.. Morgan and his
following, possibly to the extent of
securing control of the Seaboard. The
Rock Island syndicate has an option
on $4,000 shares of Seaboard stock.
That amount would not carry control
with it, but there is a possibility that
purchases in the market might put
the Rock Island people into a position
of domination. While this is a posi-
bility, it is hardly regarded as a prob
ability.
The Morgan interests, it is said, have
for long time had an eye on the Sea-
board property. These interests are
believed to be very closely associated
with the Rock Island syndicate, which
owns the option referred to, hence the
close watch on Mr. Morgan. Mr. Nor
gan is largely interested in the South
ern Railway and the Atlantic Coast
Line. But neither of these systems
could own the Seaboard. because of
the laws of the states traversed by the
three lines prohibiting the ownership
or operation by a railroad company of
competing lines. If it We're possible
for the Morgan interests to attach the
Seaboard to the Rock Island system.
Mr.. Morgan's ambition to control the
railroad situation in the South might
be realized without violation of the
letter of the law.
AS to what the outcome of the sit
uation will be, that must be left for
time to tell Meanwhile Mr.. Williams
and Mr.. Middendorf may be assured
of the cordial good will of the people
of the Southern section, with whom
they have been so closely and pleas
antly associated during the past sew
eral years.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep)
says: Selling good stocks to pro-
tect bad investments, is John w.
Gates way of accounting for the furry,
and it appears to intimate that there is
no sale for bad stocks.
The Baltimore American (Rep.) says
wall street seems to be getting in
to an endless chain of trouble. Is it
possible that the humor of destiny is
indulging itself with reversing the
leading Of lambs to the Slaughter"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: president Roosevelt also in
clines to the notion that the race prob
lem might be satisfactorily solved by
colonizing the negroes in Africa. There
is no doubt that a convenient ter
ritory for the purpose might be ac-
quired in the Kongo region as easily as
the Philippines were obtained. If the
trust mania were not almost over a
great joint stock company might be or
ganized to plant our colored brethren
in Africa. But in the meantime who
is to raise the cotton, sugar and rice in
the South"
The New York Evening Post Qnd.)
says: mo one longer pretends to be-
lieve that a currency reform measure
will be enacted at the forthcoming
special session of Congress. Indeed,
the Washington oracles now say that
no serious move in this direction will
be made even at the regular session.
II looks, indeed as if the whole mat
ter would be allowed to drop, partly on
account of the attitude of Speaker-to-
be Cannon, and partly through the
usual fear of doing anything at all on
the eve of Presidential year" Two
questions arise: First, was there ever
any genuine expectation on the part of
those who were so confidently pre-
dieting the passage of a currency re-
form measure. or was all their talk
merely part of a propaganda, or for
effect upon Wall street: and, second, is
il at all to be wished that such a
measure should be rushed through the
eNra session, or be discussed in the
manner that is always apt to charac-
terize Congress when a Presidential
election is empending?"

THE PRESIDENT AND ApDICKs.

One of President Roosevelt's first
visitors after his return to the White
House from his vacation at oyster Bay
was j. Edward Addicks, the Delaware
gasman and political boss. The pur-
pose of the visit was with reference
to the appointment of a district at
torney in Delaware. Addicks wants
his man given the place. but there
is a fight against him by Senator Ball.
A Washington special says the Pres
ident regarded Addicks' visit as un-
timely and in exceedingly bad taste,
and told him so in as many words.
He further told Addicks that he did
not propose to be annoyed by him, and
that the factions of the Republican
party in Delaware must settle their diff
ferences in their own fashion and not
bother him with their quarrel. The
incident is spoken of as being a severe
snub' for the gasman
But does Addicks care anything for
snubs? His career in the Bay State
shows him to be about as invulner-
able to snubs and sereve criticism
as a rhinoceros is to a beam
shooter With all of the effrontery of
an egotist who feels that he is able
to buy his way. paying cash on the
nail as he goes. he has pursued his
course in Delaware until he stands
at the fore front of the Republican
party. He has been snubbed time
and again. but after each snubhing he
has bobbed up serenely and captured
a few more offices and little more
patronage. thus putting himself nearer
to his desired goal of a seat in the
United States Senate.
Nor is the President himself blame
less for the ascendancy of Addicks
and Addicksism during the recent past,
since he has thrown the weight of
the administrator favor on the side
of the gasman in number of in
stances. Only a few weeks ago he
permitted the discharge of woman
postmaster, who had performed her
duty faithfully and efficiently, for no
other reason than that the Addicks
gang wanted the office for one of its
henchmen. Such incidents make Ad-
dicks very well aware that notwith-
standing the snubs he receives for pub
LEGATION purposes, he is well thought
of in Washington and that his inter-
ests are in good hands there. 1t will
take something more than snub,
which finds its way Immediately into
the newspapers, to keep Addicks away
from the White House.
