F. w. Wood Says Wheat Was Wet and
In Bad Condition.
F. w: Wood of the firm of Edwards.

Time made a tour of Ireland, England

Heirs Who Contest Lose Their Case In
Court at La Crosse.
Special to The Globe.
LA CROSSE, Wis, Sept. 11.-Judge
Brindley in the probate, court sustained
the will of the late Joseph Porsche, awell
digger and eccentric character, which
was contested by William Horschak and
Amelia Johns, heirs. Porsche made his
fortune, amounting to more than $4,000,
by digging wells and at odd jobs The
money was left to Mary Dunn, house
keeper. Heirs claimed undue influence
had been used.
There were two remarkable features in
the case. The first was that the will, writ
ten upon regular legal paper, bore blank
spaces Of several lines at intervals wnere,
in the opinion of the court. it would have
been an easy matter to insert provisions
not intended by the deceased. Second.
that Amelia Johns, one of the original
proponents, who swore to the validity of
the will, was one of the contestants. The
decision was rendered on the ground that
the will was drawn two years before the
death of Porsche in whose possession it
had been since then, and because the
deceased had transacted business tending
to show a sound mind since the drawing
of the document.

The President and the Trusts.

In view of the Presidents position
on the subject of trusts it has become
well recognized fact, in the inner
circles of the party, that all that ele-
ment which believes there should be
no legislative interference with the
business interests of the country will
work assiduonsly against Mr.. Roose-
velt's nomination in 1904.
AS TO the trusts themselves, it is a
common expression that they have
mo SOUP, and it it equally true that
they have no politics. With Mr..
Roosevelt as the republican candidate
and man whom they would describe
as "safe" at the head of the demo-
cratic ticket, their influence and their
extensive campaign contribution
would go into the democratic fund.
The democrats realize this fact, and
such men as Arthur P. German,
Richard Olney and others, whose
standing with the capitalists of the
country is unimpeachable, are being
earnestly, openly discussed as prob
able democratic candidates. Always
trimmers, the democrats will have no
hesitation in trimming their sails to
catch the trust wind in the next
election.
The friends of the President are
discussing the situation very seriously
and all believe that the people will
have to choose, either at the repubH
can national convention or at the
polls, between an honest and fearless
advocate of the rights of the people
and servant of the corporate wealth
of the country.

4 New Cabinet Officer.

1t is regarded as practically certain
that George B Cortelyou, now secre-
tary TO the President, will be chosen
by Mr.. Roosevelt as head of the new
department of commerce and labor.
Some of tine Presidents sincerest
friends regard the appointment as un-
wise from a political standpoint. They
say that with the powerful influences
which are known to be against him in
his own party, Mr.. Roosevelt ought
to "play politics" and appoint to this
important position a man who would
carry considerable political influence
in one of the doubtful states.
To their argument Mr.. Roosevelt
replies that his brand of politics is that
policy which he believes will make
for the greatest good of the people.
No one questions Mr.. Cortelyou's
ability, and the President knows that
he will administer this important
office in the interests of the people.
be is in perfect accord with the Pres
ident on the subject of trusts, with
which the new department win have
much to do.
Even under the provisions of the
Nelson amendment providing for pub
hcity of corporate statistics, the off,
Ger in charge viii have the widest lat
itude, and with an administrative
officer whose sympathies were with
the corporations, the law might be
made wholly useless.
No one denies the correctness of
this argument, although some fear
that when it comes to the point of
Votes in the convention Mr.. Roose-
velt's fearlessly honest policy will not
win.
