The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-04-10

In HIS Milwaukee speech the presi-
dent points out that there is no DISPOSE
ton on his part to antagonize large cor
poratlons as such, or the principle of
large corporations. The thing that he
insists upon is the right of the people to
regulate the acts of it's creatures, and as
a necessary preliminary to such regula-
ton and such supervision publicity is
necessary The legislation passed in the
last congress gives him the power that
he needs for the acquiring of knowledge
with respect to the affairs of the corpor:
alton, and the statute books now contain
the laws necessary for the ,remedying of
such abuses as most naturally grow out
of high state of organization for CAPT
tai AS the president points out in his
speech, the law has been set in motion
already in more cases than one, notably
the Northern Securities case, the So
called beef trust, and certain railroad
matters. The presidents critics alter
nately berate him for seeking to regu-
late the trusts and sneer at him for what
they characterize as the insignificant
antitrust legislation passed by the last
congress-. This legislation may prove a
good deal more effective than people at
this moment think. Those who fancy
that it is entirely nugatory may find that
they have made great mistake. Presi-
dent Roosevelt considers that there has
been great and substantial advance in
legislation. The event will prove that
he is right, He is opposed to any fur
Their attempts until their necessity is
clearly demonstrated. Meanwhile, the
law as it stands, will be impartially en-
forced in spirit of common sense and
Justice, and with resolute purpose and
determination. ~

THE estimation of the State Journal

In THE estimation of the State Journal
Roosevelts speeches are much alike
they deal with decency IA favorite word),
with common sense and useful, plain
strong living. Coming from an average
citizen much of it would sound common
place. Coming from the president, it
has immense weight, as his words are
backed by character. He looks the
strong; clean, pure, fearless exponent of
what he talks about. No one can esti
mate the influence on national ideals, es-
pecially of Young men.

LEsLIE's Magazine for March gives a
few figures showing the stupendous ex-
tent of the nicotine habit in this coun-
try. 1t appears that seven billion cigars,
three billion cigarettes, and two hundred
and eighty million pounds of manufact-
ured tobacco and fifteen million pounds
of snuff are produced every year. The
retail value of all the smoking and chew
ing tobacco, in its various forms, ap-
proaches $500 100000 annually.

Feeding the Calf,

The calf is greedy and accustomed
to overeating; consequently if he is
carelessly fed you cannot expect him
to do well. This fact is often laid to
skimmilk when really it is the fault of
the feeder. The old saying, 1.-The mas
ters eye fattens the calf" comes in
here every time.

Reliance and shamrock.

Highlands, of Navesink, n. j., Sept.
4-Flying three great American flags,
one on the taffrail and the others at the
spreaders. the victorious Reliance, in tow
of the tug Guiding Star, left her moor
ings in Sandy Hook bay shortly after
eight o'clock this morning, and began
triumphal journey to Erie Basin, Brook
lyn. Whistles screamed aboard every
sort of steam craft about Sandy Hook,
and at the top of every mast and pole
ahoat the stars and stripes futtered in
the early morning breeze. Soon after
Reliance's departure Sir Thomas Lip
toms Erin started up, followed by Sham
rock III. in tow of the tug Cruiser. In
the trip through the Narrows, Shamrock
iii. followed the Reliance at about the
same distance astern as she did at the
finish of the final cup race yesterday,
about three miles. There were no gay
colors at the Shamrock's spreaders as
she followed in the wake Of the cup re-
tainer however, she had her share of
the sautes from passing vessels. The
crews of the Shamrock |. and Shamrock
III. were preparing this morning to sail
for England early next week. The two
English yachts will go in tow.
New York, Sept. 4.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton came to the city today on his steam
Yacht Erin, and tonight he will be ban
quoted by the Pilgrims at the Waldorf
Astoria. Next Tuesday he will be given
dinner by the New York Yacht Club,
after which he will make a trip to
Chicago. Sir Thomas still has faint
hope of lifting the cup, even in the face
of severe defeat. "Who can design a
boat for me? That's thequestion," said
Sir Thomas, with much feeling. "Gen-
tlemen, am ready and willing to fight
for the cup at any time if can find
material on which, in my own heart |
can depend for q chance of winning.
Mr. Fife has done his best. We've
been licked" 1t is said that Sir Thomas
may dispose of either the first or the
third Shamrock to well known Boston
capitalist.

FOREMAN FORCED TO RESIGN. -
Members of Columbia Typographical
Union of Washington are deeply inter-
ested in a controversy in Manila between
John S. Leech, public printer of the
Philippines, and George A. Tracy, fore
man of the government printing office at
Manila. Both these men were formerly
prominently connected with the affairs
of Columbia Union and are well known
in Washington and to most printers in
Alexandria. All that can be learned
concerning the difficulty is that Leech
some time ago demanded Tracy's resig-
nation. Mr.. Tracy, who was formerly en-
ployed in the government printing office
in Washington, was working on news
paper in Baltimore when he was selected
by the War Department to go to Manila
and establish a printing Office for the
island government The machinery was
sent over and Mr.. Tracy was one of the
men who set it up. When everything
was in readiness Mr.. Tracy was placed
in charge of the composing room, hav-
ing entered into a contract for a term OF
two wears. In the meantime examina-
tons had been held in this country and
printers selected from the eligible list and
sent to Manila. The printers who had
left this country for the islands were
members of the Typographical Union,
and when the American employees in the
Manila Office numbered twenty-eight, 1t
was proposed to establisha branch of the
International Typographical Union, and
application was made for a charter.
Foreman Tracy, while not participating
actively in the organization of the new
union, entered his name on the roster OF
members and the following morning was
called before John S. Leech, Public
Printer of the Philippines, who re-
ouested his resignation. The PhlliP-
pine Commission is opposed to trades
unionism in the islands. 1t employs
native printers, who work for con-
siderably less than an American can
live upon. and it fears that, If Amer
leans are permitted to organize there
the Filipinos willlikewise demand better
wages"
