THE BEEF TRUST FOR ROOSEVELT

THE BEEF TRUST FOR ROOSEVELT.
According to the New York World
the beef trust is supporting Mr.. .Roose-
welt. In an interview in the World MIR.
j. Ogden Armour a leading factor of
the trust. is quoted as saying: 1--WE
are going to support Roosevelt most
emphatically. We have been satisfied
with his administration, and we will
be satisfied to have him continue, in
office"
Is anything more needed to show
whether Mr.. Roosevelt is for or against
the trusts? There has been about as
much complaint of the beef trust as
of any other, and the people have
been looking for months for some steps
to be taken against it by the govern
ment-something definite and decisive.
Nothing of any Importance has been
done and now one of the chief men of
the trust says they, meaning the men,
Roosevelt. Is any better evidence
needed that the trusts have nothing
to fear from Mr.. Roosevelt now, or if
he should be elected?
And which one of the trusts is it
that is taking a stand against Mr..
Roosevelt? Is there one of them. If
so which one?
1t would be interesting to know how
much the trusts have given to Mr..
Roosevelt's campaign fund. It is a
safe prediction that everyone of them
has contributed literally. 1t is not to
be wondered at. therefore. that Gov.
Odel feels he is within the bounds
when he asks for $75oOOO with which to
carry New York for the Republicans.

1t is difficult to imagine more act
i've life than that 81. the late Col. Prem
tiss Ingraham. gallant soldier of the
Confederacy during the war between
the states, and soldier of fortune IN
various parts of the world. His liter
airy career covered a period of thirty
four years. Mrs. Ella w. Peattie says
that during that time he wrote 600
novels, averaging 10000 words each,
and 400 novelties, averaging 10000
words each. This means a yearly out
put of 1,S52,941 words, daily S7O7 or
hourly 154.5. Anyone who will under
take to write only 500 words of orig
NAL matter per day for one week will
be able to form an idea of Col. Prem
tiss' energy. capacity and versatility.

The New York American thinks It
has discovered the reason for Mr.. Will
liam Waldorf Astor's recent visit to
this country, and that it was for the
purpose of raising his rents and thus
swelling his income. His tenants, it
is said, are shortly to be notified that
their rents have been increased, some
per cent. and some 25, the average
being about 10 per cent. This, accord
ing to a real estate man quoted by
the American, will swell Mr. Astor's
income to the extent of $1,s0O,OOO a
year. Mr.. Astor owns more East Side
tenements than any other landlord In
New York, in addition to his splendid
hotels and apartment houses.
