THE MAN WHO DOES THINGS.

The Advertiser of Montgomery, Ala,
says sneeringly, There was time
when Theodore Roosevelt posed as a
reformer.',, 1t is with. the above char.
acter of insinuating attacks that many
democratic papers of the country have
been attempting to irjure his chances
for the presidency. That sucn course
will be successful is not believed by
any citizen Of the United States who is
honest with himself. Not only would
President Roosevelt and his fellow
party men gladly fight the campaign
on Roosevelt as an ISSUE but demo.
cratic leaders are aware that such a
contest would end in an ignominous
defeat for those who favored it. This
is evidenced in, the following from the
Louisville Post (dem.) written in an
swer to the above comment of the
Montgomery Advertiser:
Theodore Roosevelt is a man who
acts, not a man who poses. He does
things and lets others talk about them.
In office in New York, Albany /, and
Washington, he was, and is doer Of
the world. Until the opponents Of the
President rid thems selves of false con-
ceptions of the man their attacks will
all fall

occasions for sincere sorrow ant

OCCASION for sincere sorrow and
mourning. The convention, while hav-
ing duty to perform and path to
point out for the future, naturally will
take off something Of the nature of me-
mortal occasion, with fitting return in
thoughts to the former chieftainN and
the many victories to which he has led
the party.
This gathering of Iowa republicans
without their beloved Hanna is a
forceful, reminder of the uncertainty
and vanity of things here below. A
year ago, strong and vigorous, not only
dominating the party in his own state,
but great factor in the national or
ganization and in affairs generally one
of the most influential and useful men
of his time, Hanna today is no more.
Within the brief span of few months
he has passed on to the beyond, and
all his power and influence and leader
ship are at an end. Sincerely mourn
ed and missed he is, Of course but
gone, and time largely to be forgot
ten, his place taken by others, and the
world moves .relentlessly on. None re-
main; however useful, all must go.

JAPAN's NAVAL LOSS.

The Japanese lost two war vessels
recently near Port Arthur. This loss
was not occasloned by the Russians.
The cruiser Yoshina was rammed by
another vessel Of the same class dur.
ing a heavy fog and speedily sank.
The battleship Hatsuse went to the bot
tom after colliding with a submarine
mine. Ninety men of the former boat
were lost and from the crew Of the bat
tleship about 800 were rescued by the
Japanese torpedo boats.
While these losses are serious they
are a part of the fortunes of war. Tc
Offset them are the losses which the
Russians are daily inflicting on them
selves in the destruction of the docks
and Notifications of Dalny and Port
Arthur, and the practical destruction
of the remaining Russian vessels
While this loss is a serious blow tC
the Japanese naval forces in the vicin
ity of Port Arthur it is indeed fortunate
that it was not experienced prior to
the bottling up of the Russian fleet
However the Japs may be depended
upon to rally from the effects of the
loss and making the best of it continue
to push their campaign by land and by
sea with the same vigor that has here.

DEMOCRACY AND FREE TRADE.

Ringgold Record.-By a long series
of events, democracy many years ago
became irrevocably allied with human
slavery and the economical philosophy
upon which it is based. BY very ma
ture, that institution paid no heed to
the interests and prosperity of the la
borer. 1t produced only raw mater
ials, and the party which subserved it's
interests was bound to secure a mar
ket favorable to the buyer only. Sla,y-
cry bought all the manufactured ar
ticles that it consumed and sold it's raw
material. For it's advantage demo-
cracy opened our markets to the la
borer of the world by adopting the
ne-sided economics of free trade.
OF course, very naturally, demo-
cracy does not like to confront such
bits of plain historical DEDUCTION
The theoretical free trader does not
like to have the record of the banns
between his pet idea and slavery hunt
ed up and referred to, now that he is
trying to induce free labor to form an
illicit union with her. He insists that
all memory of the past shall be buried
and that we shall squabble blindly
over the probability of specific hypoth-
eses. And yet it is only by studying
the evolution Of political forces and
ideas that we got any conception OF
their tendencies and are able to fore
cast their effect. There never was a
more pregnant truth than uttered by
Carlyle when he said: THE true Bible
for any nation is it's own history"
Our history teaches US that free
trade was the economic gospel of slav-
cry and ordinary common sense should
teach any man that whatever was good
policy for slavery was bad policy fol
free labor.

VALUE OF COTTON EXPORTS.

More than $400,000,000 will be
brought into the United States from
other parts of the world during the ifs.
cal year which ends next month, by
cotton and its products. Last year the
exports Of cotton and fits products
amounted to only $376,000,0O0 and the
statement of the statistical bureau OF
the department of commerce and labor
just issued shows that in raw cotton
alone the total for the present year ex.
ceeds the figures OF last year by near.
ly $50,000,000, thus indicating that the
grand total Of cotton and it's products
exported during the year will exceed
the ,$40O,0O0,O 900 mark.
The products of cotton other than
the raw article which goes to make up
this grand total are cotton-seed oil, cot
ton seed meal, cotton waste, cotton
seed in the natural state and cotton
manufactures. In cotton seed oil and
cotton seed meal the increase of ex.
ports during recent years has been
very great and their exports now
amount to more than $25,000,000
annually, while but a comparatively
short time ago the cotton seed from
which they were manufactured was
considered valueless. The value of
cotton seed oil exported from the
United States last year was over
s14,O0O,000. In the present year the
figures fall somewhat below that of
last year owing to the large home

of speculative as well as trade actiy-
ity, declined in 1868, 1876, 1884, 1855

1880 and a slight gain was shown In
1892. There was a decline in bank

gains of 1892 and 1896 were so small
as to indicate not normal growth
Regarding other effects of presiden.
tial years it is shown that customs
receipts decreased in four campaign
years since 1868. Merchandise exports
declined in four such years. There
was a notable increase in 1892, a year
which President Harrison described as
having reached the high water mark
of American prosperity up to that time
it's records being exceeded since that
time. In 1896 the per capita exports
were $1229 as compared with s11.51
in 1895. There was decline in pig.
iron production in 1876. 1884 and 1896

ROOSEVELT AND TOBACCO.

Chicago Chronicle.-The interesting
point in the story is the accidental dis
covery by the public that the President
does not use tobacco in any form. The
president, it seems, has never paraded
the fact. He has never complained of
the tobacco habits of other nor lined
his offices with mo smoking" placards.
He has both avoided the habit and
avoided speaking about it, but by a
mere accident, as it were, his principles
and practices in this regard have been
unexpectedly published throughout the
world.
Here is a valuable lesson for many
young men. The use of tobacco Is SO
nearly universal among men that any
one who does not use it is almost re-
garded as eccentric Some young men
may actually be afraid that if they do
do not use tobacco they would achieve
no success in life. Perhaps they have
never seen a highly intellectual and
successful man who used tobacco in nc
form and they fear that il. they should
not indulge in it they would lose the
championship of the smokers, and
worst still, be left without the brain
stimulus under which others are forg-
ing to the front.
Now. lest such young people make &

CONDITIONS IN PREsI
DENTAL YEARS."

In the current issue of Bradstreet's
Journal an article from the Worlds
Work is quoted as authority for the
statement that there was an excess
of gold exports over gold imports in
1860, 1864, 1868. 1872, 1876, 1884, 1892
1896 and 1900" In other words this

THE PASSING OF HANNA.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.- When the
republicans of Ohio convene at Column
bus TODAY it will come home to them
that since their gathering a year ago
they have lost their great leader. The
vacant chair of Mark Hanna will have
a marked effect on the spirit of the
convention. For more than "a score of
years. he was a familiar figure at the
state gatherings Of his party and for a
decade he had been a dominant force
in these conventions. He filled so
large a place on these occasions that
his absence now will create a profound
sense of loss. Although now ably led
and imbued with that spirit of enthus-
iasm common to all party men on en-
tering upon national campaign the
republicans of Ohio feel keenly the
loss they have sustained in the death
of their great leader. and their gath

The. value of cotton seed oil exported
from the United States during the past
decade aggregates around $105, 900
In 1889 the total value of cotton seed
oil exported amounted to only lit.

it was over $5,O00,00O In 1895, $4,000,

Cotton seed meal is another article
