President Does Not Like Pending Meat
Inspection Bill.

Washington, June 15.-A careful ex-
animation of the substitute proposed by
the committee on agriculture Of the
house for the meat inspection amend
ment of Senator Beveridge of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill has been
made by President Roosevelt. The
president is opposed to the house sub
stitute in its entirety. He may not go
so far as to veto the bill, but he has
made it clear that he does not deem the
house provision at all adequate.
Representative Wadsworth, of New
York, chairman of the house committee
on agriculture, conferred with the presi-
dent, who told him frankly that he
could not approve the house provision.
The president pointed out that the fail
ure OF the committee to provide for in
spection at all hours, either Of the day
or night, was a defect which he could
not pass. and he urgently disapproved
also of the court review clause. The

st. Petersburg, June 15.-William J.
Bryan sailed this afternoon for Stock
holm. He devoted the last day of his
stay in st. Petersburg to a call on Pre-
mier Geremykin, with whom he had an
hours talk and to another visit to the
lower house of parliament, where he
remained throughout the morning ses-
sion.
For a time Mr.. Bryan was the center
of attraction in the lobby Of the house,
holding a regular reception of mem
bers Of parliament who were anxious to
be presented.
Deputations of Jews and Poles want
ed him to define his attitude on Q1eS-
tions affecting them and he was be-
sieged by foreign and Russian CORES
pondents, anxious to secure his views
on the outcome Of the parliamentary
struggle here. But beyond an express
sion of profound interest in the fight
the Russian people were making for lib
erty and the deep impression made
upon him by the Russian parliament,

The New Kansas Senator Is Intro
duced Today.

Washington, June Ex-senator Ben
son was taken to the White House by
Senator Long this morning and pre-
sented to the president with whom he
had a few minutes conversation.
The Washington Post today contains
the following concerning Senator Ben
SON.
A. w. Benson, new senator from
Kansas, who succeeded former Senator
Burton, is at the National hotel, though
he will move to the Cochran and there
spend the remainder of his term.
He is small in stature, pleasant in
demeanor and very modest.
Il am only a country lawyer and dis
like praise almost as much as blame,
he said.
"The story that I stated that one hon
est man could not do much IN the sen
ate is too ridiculous to deny. oh, no;
/ would not say anything like that. Be
fore last Saturday at 4 o'clock had
no thought of being appointed United
States senator At that time Governor
Hoch called me up by long distance
phone and informed me of my ap-
pointment. Later a neighbor came to
me. urged me to take it, saying the
country needed honest men and it was
my duty to go just as had been my
duty to go to war I replied there was
little that I could hope to do during the
last few days of the session There
was therefore no ground for the state
ment which was misunderstood by
reporter who heard it and sent it
broadcast.
Yes" continued the senator "I have
been in Washington before I was here
in 1852 when I marched through as
private soldier. I was here again in
1855 when 7 marched In Sherman's
army during the grand review"

TO AID M'CAMlSH.
x. c. X. Temperance Workers Have
No Faith in Hoch's Appointee.

Kansas City, Kan, June 15.-The
State Temperance union and the Civic
league in this city, have started a
movement to prosecute the jointists in
dependently Of c. ". Trickett, lately
appointed to succeed W. H. McCamiSh
as assistant attorney general of Wyan-
dOtte county.
Mr.. McCamish, attorney for the two
organizations named, has fled a mo-
ton in the court of common pleas in
gins a jointist, asking for leave to
amend the petition by striking out the
words assistant attorney general Of
the state of Kansas in and for Wyan-
dotte county" and substitute the words
a citizen of the county of Wyandotte
and state of Kansas" and substitute
the following allegation: THAT he, the
said w. H. McCamish. is a citizen of
the county of WyandOtte and state OF
Kansas and prosecutes this action in
the name of the state Of Kansas.
If the motion is allowed in this case
it will apply to the other 85 cases now
pending.
This step is taken by the temperance
organizations in order that the work
accomplished by Mr.. McCamish in the
crusade against the jointists may not
be lost. They have not been able to
obtain an expression from Mr.. Trick
EFT and they fear that the cases filed
by Mr. McCamish viii be dismissed for
want of prosecution. J. K. COdding
general attorney for the State Temper
ance union, who has been in the city
for several days, was not able to learn
anything of Mr. Trickett's plans and
stated that he had little hopes of any
thing being accomplished through the
new assistant attorney general.
The statute provides that either the
attorney general. the county attorney
or a private citizen may maintain ac-
ton in such cases.

president did not lay special stress on
the proposition of the committee that
the government should pay the expenses
of the inspection, although he feels that
if the government is required to do so,
the law will be less effective.
After his conference with Chairman
Wadsworth, President Roosevelt wrote
a letter to him. stating his objection In
a definite and formal way. in order that
his position might be of record. The
letter was not made public.
If the measure should be enacted,
the president does not say he would not
sign it, but If he should sign it, he
would append a memorandum which
would indicate Enthusiastically that he
regards the law as Inadequate and IN
satisfactory.

Washington, June 15.-Senator Cal

when Senator Mallory attempted to get
the senate to act on resolution au-
thorizing a survey of the Florida ever
glades with the end in view of detsE-
mining the practica ability of draining
them and converting them into farm

states, and adding. ''Ef the country is

EMPIRE is FREE.
The Government Has Decided to Let

Washington, June 15.-The steam
er Empire incident is closed as far as
the United States navy is concerned,
and although the Z. S. cruiser Mar
blehead and the Empire are both still
at COrinto, Nicaragua, the Empire
may sail without interference from
the cruiser at any time she wishes,
according to instructions sent to
Commander Mulligan of the Marble
head at the request of the secretary
of state.
Commander MulIigan was unable
to get north from Panama soon
enough to prevent the Empire from
landing men and arms and ammu-
the movement against President Ca
berera- Consequently when he found
the Empire back at COrinto. Mica
ragua without arms and ammunition.
he was instructed by the navy depart
ment that he should not take any
action, because the statute under
which he was acting does not provide
for the punishment of any offense
against neutrality laws, but only for
the prevention Of violation of neu-
trality. Consequently United States
courts and not the navy must deal
with the crime which the Empire is
alleged to have committed in carry

vERAcITY OF ROOSEVELT.

Charles A. Edwards, a well
kno wn and reliable Washington
press correspondent, declares that
the night following the reading of
President Roosevclt's message on
the Standard Oil abuses, early this
month, II. H. Rogers snd ]. d.
Archbold, both high in the counsels
of that great, greasy Fagin of COM
merce, called on the executive and
threatened that if he did not recede
from his position on the railroad
rate bill, they would make public
the circumstances under which the
Standard contributed to his cam
paign fund; which would convict
the Strenuous One of having know
ingly told an untruth when he
entered his fervid denial to the
charges made by Judge Parker in
the last presidential campaign. The
mex day President Roosevelt gave
Chandler, Tillman and Bailey the
double cross, and approved of the
infamous Allison amendment, grant
ing unrestricted court review of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
Sions' decisions.
Mr.. Edwards states further, that
when the president was assistant
secretary of the navy, he gave to
him an interview in the presence of
a witness, which he afterwards de-
MED; that when governor of New
York, it was notorious fact among
newspaper correspondents that he
was given to such tricks, noisily
calling them liars, and that they
finally learned never to publish an
important statement coming from
him, unless they were fortified by
some proof that he had made such
statement.
II is, indeed, unpleasant to read
such accusations concerning one in
whom the public has placed its hope
of rescue from the great combina.
tions of predatory wealth; one who
has made sucn an apparently brave,
peoples rights, and one believes re
luctantly these charges. But his
tory is replete with incidents of tn,
people being betrayed by popula
idols and the evidence against lou
Teddy" is accumulating with hear
sickening rapidity and credibility.

Editor Maverick: quite agree
with what you say in the editorial

issue of Maverick, about the benefits
which accrue to any community
through the presence of a number

this business, but, in view of the
unqualified statement made over
your signature in the editorial in
which you made your bow before
the people of Mountain Home, that

TO serve some selfish interest; to
promote the designs of some close
corporation clique it occurs to me
that you should make a thorough
investigation of the situation before
you commence an attack on one class
of citizens and take up the cudgels
of defense for another class. Had
you done this am sure you
would have found that there is a
class of real estate agents here,

at the same time men who are
doing all they can to build up the

had you stopped to consider further,
you would have realized that this

In his story on the southern ne
gro, published in the June Century,
Harry Stillwell Edwards says that
the SO called negro problem will and
must be solved by the whites, the
dominant race among whom the
blacks live. And that is fact
Furthermore, there never would
have been any negro problem had it
not been for outside interference.
Over in the Atlantic seaboard states
there lives a class of people, narrow,
strong, dominant, persistent, who
have an ever present itching to
NEEDLE with other peoples affairs,
the characteristic bent of whose
minds is to reform somebody else,
and whose defective mental vision
prevents them from seeing the
beam, in their own eyes, while the
mote in the eyes of others is inn
measurably magnified. This strong
ly marked and developed trait of the
New Highlander has been the cause
of most of the sectional strife that
has disturbed this republic. We of
the West have been the object of
their puritanical so1icitude in our
dealings with the Indian and the
Chinaman. They can not comprc-
bend the truth of the assertion that
the only good Indian is the dead
