Mayor SdIlS TOT lNC" t0IRE
PARIS, Sept. 3.-Mayor Mcclellan,
of New York, sailed for New York
from Cherbourg on the American lin
er st. Paul. The mayor is bronzed
and looks in good health as result
of his three months outing. Before
his departure from Paris he spoke in
formally concerning the complicated
political situation in New York, in
which he intends to take an active
part as soon as he arrives there. He
said:
81 have been away from New York
since June. The situation may be
much changed. but SO far as can
learn it is the same as when left.
then felt that Jerome was the strong
est candidate for the governorshipp
and nothing has happened, SO far as
I can ascertain, to change my mind.
under these circumstances be-
lteve that Jerome is the strongest can
didate to-day. His chief elements Of
strength are that he is straight man
and a first rate fighter; he enjoys the
highest popular estimation, Rnd has
the prestige which he gained by his
gallant fight Inst year. Therefore,
think he should and will be nominated
for the governorship.

w. D. Boyce Of Chicago, repre-
senting large financial interests, hat
submitted to the Congressional
Postal Com mission in Washington
q proposition to take over the en-
tire United States Postal service
and operate 1t as private bust
ness under Government control. Mr..
Boyce says he is backed by un'
limited capital and that private
corporation Of $5O,OOO,OOO stands
ready to finance the scheme. DE
further says that for a monopoly
of the postal service there capital
lists propose to perform all the
duties udertaken by the Govern
ment, and at a saving to the people
of the country of not less than
800, 900. 900 annually by eliminat-
ing politics from the service and
managing it as private business
A feature of the proposition is to
reduce by one half all postal rates,
thus establishing penny postage on
letters.

The ownership of the Tidewater

The ownership of the Tidewater
railroad is at last known. A few
days ago announcement was made
in Norfolk that the road Is person
ally owned by H. H. Rogers, a
multi. millionaire of New York,
who is largely interested In coal
lands In West Virginia. The state.
ment was made by the son OF Mr..
Rogers, who further said thatit was
the one am bitiou of his father to
own a railroad all to himself.
Ever since its inception, this road
has been a problem In financial
circles. Apparently without back
ing. without bond issue or sale OF
stock, the road has operated on q
spot each basis.

Virginia Factory IS the Worlds
Best

Few tobacconlsts are acquainted with
the process to which the weed IS
subjected In the manufacture Of the
finished product.
The increased cultivation OF tobacco
in Virginia has caused the erection Of
numerous plants throughout the State.
One of the best equipped OF these fac
tories Is that OF the r. A. Paterson
Tobacco Company, manufactures Of
the famous Grape" chewing tobacco.
These plants are located In Richmond,
Va, in the heart of the tobacco grow
ing sections and are afforded the ad-
vantage OF selecting the Dest that
grows.
The Patterson Company Is interest
lug above nost others because OF their
different method Of curing and aging
the leaf. In the finished product this
Is Of almost az much Importance as
the selection of the leaf.
Most OF tie tobacco consumed Is treat
ed by q process Of fermentation known
as "hue curing This process sweats
and dries out the original flavor and
fragrance, giving place to bitter taste
and creosotic dor. both CT which must
be SUPP lied by artificial means.
1t is in this particular department
that the Patterson Company enjoys
marked distinction.
In the manufacture of their goods the
plants are topped off 10 s or IL leaves;
the lower leaves are pruned or picked
off. When ripe, the stalks are split and
cut lengthy Use and laid OIL the gre und
to wilt. They are then strung on
sticks, or to a stick, so that the sap
runs down from the stalk, and cured
WITHOUT artificial heat. The process
is gradual, and produce, good aud
uniform color. The leaves are stripped
of and tied into hands and bulked
down for a short time, after which they
are ''prized" or rressed by power into
boxes or hogsheads, from which they
are taken and graded.
The greatest care Irust be exercised
during this process; and the skill with
which the company handles this de-
partment is evident In the superiority
OF their products, and also by the fact
that they were offered 1926, 00O for the
Grape" formula.

PRESIDENTS pREDICAMENT

A lively sensation was pre-
cipitated in administration circles
in Washington few days ago by
the publication of the inside facts
concerning the circumstances thai
led to the removal several months
ago by President Roosevelt Of Hon
Bethany Storer of Ohio, from the
office of ami assador to Austria
Mr.. Storer was dismissed because
Of his vife's interference" in the
affairs of the Roman Catholic
Church. Mr.. Storer asserts that
Mr.. Roosevelt, while Governor OF
New York and later while Vice.
President and even while Presi-
dent, urged the Storers, who were
his personal friends, to use their
influence with the Vatican for
Archbishop Ireland's promotion TO
Cardinal, with the belief that
the prelate's we'll known patriotism
would DO of great service to the
administration in dealing with the
problems connected with the
Catholic Church in the Philippine
Islands.
President Roosevelt has written
a reply to the charges of Mr.. Storer'
in which he accuses the former
ambassador aid MS wife with dis
honorable conduct and peridy, and
phatically denies that he ever
interested himself in having the
pope bestow the red hat upon
Archbishop Ireland. From the
letters of the President to Mr.. and
Mrs. Storer made public,it is har q
for the reader to understand other
wise than that the President did
use his position and influence as
charged by Mr.. Storsr. The pub
lication of these letters puts the
President in very embarrassing
position, to say the least. and will
no doubt lead to an investigation
by Congress.
