GRAIN RATES ON
A BETTER BASIS
MIN NEAPoLIS' GRIEVANCE
AGAINST CHICAGO MODIFIED.
Local Traders Have Better Chance
at Intermediates Territory and in
Other Districts the Two Markets Are
More Nearly on Parity Chicago
May Buy More Here.

Acting in harmony with the inter
ests Of the Minneapolis Chamber Of
Commerce and the Chicago Board Of
Trade, the railroads have readiusted
sis is more nearly equable than that
formerly existing, and should work for
maintenance Of even conditions as be-
tween the two markets. The rates will
become operative on July II.
Formerly the rates from some Iowa,
Minnesota and South Dakota localities
where grain tonnage originates, to
points east Of Buffalo and Pittsburg,
were 4 cents higher thru Minneapolis
agreement they will be GU cents high
err This will work against Minneap-
oils in some instances, but the disad-
vantage will be more than Offset by
benefits accruing in other ways.
"The new. rates. said p. S. Wood.
worth, president Of the Minneapolis
chamber, twill make conditions more
in the territory that lies intermediate
where the lines of competition meet
and where the two markets have often
clashed in the past, The. market that
gets after the business in most pro:
gressive manner, and that offers best
draw the movement. There is reason
to believe that Minneapolis will more
than hold her own.
Means More Chicago Trade.
Grain men believe that with the new
rates in operation, Chicago will be q
much larger purchaser Of grain in the
Minneapolis cash market. Some terri
tory south and west of Minneapolis
will possibly be invaded by Chicago
and some grain drawn away; but fol
every foot that Chicago may advance
Minneapolis will advance, as much into
go. Grain from Fort Dodge, Iowa, viii
| then move east thru the Minneapolis
gateway as readily as thru Chicago.
The general effect will be to stop the
annual Chicago cry Of Discrimination
in favor of Minneapolis, and leave the
field open to competition Of both mar
kets, with advantages to neither.

QUOTES THE PRESIDENT.
Lawyer for Haas nnd Peckham Uses
 RoOsevelt's Letter.

New York, Oct. 21.-President Roose- velt's letter of acceptance of the nomi- nation for President year ago, or more, was quoted by lawyer today in defense of Moses Haas and Frederick II. Pecllhanl, who recently were in dicted by the federal grand jury in Washington a charge of eonspiring with Edwin s. Holmes, Jr., to defraud the government by securing in advance information of the governments cotton report.
 A portion of the Presidents letter quoted was that there Is no common law of the United States that can give jurisdiction of an offense in federal court"
 The indictment had alleged that Holmes was guilty of misconduct in entering into the conspiracy. The de- fense declared that no such offense as misconduct could be found in any act of Congress which alone could give jurisdiction of an offense to federal court. but the prosecution contended that it was an offense against the com mon law of the District of Columbia. IL was to contrevert this assertion that the Presidents statement was quoted by the lawyers for the defense.
 It was also contended by the latter that the government was not actually detrauded of anything and that if the

ROOSEVELT ON SOCIAL EQUALITY
An Emphatic Utteranee Against Social
 Equality and lntermarriage.

Raleigh, N. C., Special.
 When Editor Clarence H. Poe, of The Progressive Farmer, was introduced to President Roosevelt in the Senate chamber, Mr. Roosevelt immediately recalled some of Mir. Poe's magazine work, referring especially to his ar ticle. "Lynchfng. a Southern View" in The Atlantic Monthly.
 "I want to stop right here and talk with you" said the President, and as soon as the line had passed he called for MT. Poe, and for some minutes dis cussed Southern problems generally. The President declared himself keenly interested in Southern affairs, and anX- ious to hold up the hands of broad men like ex-Governor Aycock and Bish- op Strange.
 T wish to follow your conservative and liberal Southern leaders; not try to impress views of my own," said the President.
 Referring to some man whose arti- cles had been interpreted as looking to social equality and intermarriage, the President expressed himself em- phatically. He declared he had never known a white man, North or South, since reconstruction, who believed in that sort of thing. He referred to his Philadelphia speech on the negro last February.
 Help him if he stumbles. but if he lies down let him stay" was the "square deal'' doctrine for the negro. as he expressed 1t, and MT. Poe as- sured him that his speech was most favorably received by the press and people throughout the South.

WHOLESALE DIsFRANCHIsEMENT

In another place on this page will be found an article from The Birmingham Age-Herald, under the above caption.
 It is a certain calculation that there are 250,000 white men in Alabama of voting age. It is another pretty safe calculation that SO per cent. of that number are subject to the payment of poll tax. This would be 15o.o0O, Ieav- ing 1OO,O ,OoO over the poll tax age.
 Two things are requisite before any one subject to poll tax can vote pay ment of all poll tax due whether for one or more years and registration as a voter. A man can register without paying poll tax, but he cannot vote without paying 1t. if he Is within the poll tax age. The man over poll tax age must register before he can vote. About lSO.o00 men have registered. but many thousands of them. subject to poll tax have neglected to pay 1t. There are not over 5000 registered negro voters in the State. There are many men not subject to poll tax who have not registered. It Is within the power of all of the latter class to become voters. simply by registering.
 The AgeHerald's estimate of one-half Roosevelts vote in Alabama being cast by negroes is wrong, because as stated above there are only about 5000 regis tered negroes in the State. If every one of them had voted, and they didn't. Roosevelt's white vote would have been nearly 10000.
