AMERICAN PRIEST
May LEAD
JESU|TS
Father Rudolph Meyer Spoken
of AS Successor to Late
Leader of the Faith.

Washington, D. c., April 1S.-ln
Catholic circles here considerable in
terest is manifested in the illness of
Father Louis Martin. general of the
Jesuit order, who is reported to be dy-
ing in Rome, because of the POSSIBLE
ity that the honor of succeeding him
as head of the order may fall upon an
American priest, Rev. Rudolph L. Mey-
er, S. ]. Though an American has
never been chosen to head the order
there is said to be nothing in the rules
or customs OF the great organization
founded by st. Ignatius de Loyola to
prohibit such selection.
Father Meyer is native of st.
Louis and for a number of years he
was president of St. Louis university.
At present he is one of the five con-
sultors of the general of the order.
These cOnSultOrs are at the head, re-
spectively, of the English, Italian,
Spanish, German and French assist
ancies, Father Meyer having the Eng
fish assistancy. The consultors reside
at Rome and live in the same residence
with the general.
Preceding the four years he served
as president of St. Louis university,
Father Meyer taught i'll ST. Louis, Gin
cinnati and Chicago After his term
as president he was promoted to be
provincial, and in 1889 was sent as
visitor to California. Becoming pre-
feet of studies at Marquette college,
Milwaukee. he was delegated in 1892
to assist at the general congregation
at Loyola, Spain, and was detained by
the general of the society to be as
sistant for the English-speaking
provinces of the order, which position
he now holds.

ROOSEVELT SCORES.
JUDGE UPON THE
DECISION
Says Findings in Beef Case
"a Miscarriage of
Justice. /"

Washington, April 1S-In special
message, delivered to congress today,
President Roosevelt declares that the
recent trial of the "beef packers" in
Chicago was a miscarriage of JUS
tice" and that the Interpretation placed
by Judge Humphrey on the will of
congress lis such as to make that will
absolutely abortive."
The message which is most sensa-
tional in it's character. is based large
ly on the letter to the president from
Attorney General Moody in which the
attorney general reviews the proceed
ings of the case of the government
against the beef packers. The presi-
dent says it is clear that no criticism
attaches to Commissioner Garfield, as
what he did was in the pursuance of
the duty imposed on him by congress-
He refers sharply, however, to the
decision of Judge Humphrey, saying
that congress could not have foreseen
such decision and that he can hardly
believe that the ruling of Judge Hum
phrey will be followed by other
judges. He declared that such inter-
probation of the law as that placed
on it by Judge Humphrey comes
measurably near making the law
farce" and he recommends that con-
gross pass declamatory act stating
its real intentions. The president also
requests congress to confer upon the
government by statute the same right
of appeal in criminal cases which the
defendant now enjoys where the mer-
its of the case have not been deter
mined.

1t is a strange coincidence that
every one of the agitators who are so
bent upon what they call reform"
have been and are now aspirants for
office-almost any kind of an Office so
long as it is accompanied by a snug
salary. Until recently these agitators
were quite strenuous in their COM
mendations of President Roosevelt,
but since the president declared
against their mud throwing methods
in his speech on the Man With the
Muck Rake" they do not hesitate to
reflect even upon him, some of them
going SO far as to refer to him as the
man with the white wash brush"
Is there anyone indeed who can please
these self-seeking "reformers?" The
president hit them pretty hard when
he said that "the liar was as bad as
the thief" Maybe few of them feel
that they are entitled to be considered
as belonging to both classes.

and the Investigation of the crops,
the Atlanta Constitution says:

The cotton planters of the south
appear to have learned we'll the les
sons OF the last two years, as they
affect cooperation between the factors
responsible for the production of this
great staple, fast adherence to the
acreage restriction idea and the ex-
pediency of widespread crop diversi-
fication. This fact will be of crafty
ing interest to the farmers them
selves; but not less so to all the
commercial elements of the south,
since the annual fate of cotton bears
with tremendous Importance on every
financial and industrial phase of the
southern states
The growing belief that the planters
were steadily resisting the tempta-
ton to plant more heavily than last
year in the hope of high prices is
we'll sustained in a canvass recently
taken by The Manufacturers Record,
of Baltimore. That publication-the
first in the south, industrially-
publishes correspondence from bank
ers in all the cotton states, contain
ing information with vital refer
ence to the status and the prospects
of the crop. The Record, as last year,
selected the bankers for the reason
that their intimate relations with the
agricultural interests placed them in
a position of undisputed authority.
Summarizing its full fifteen pages
of these communications. The Record
arrives at the following very encourag-
ing conclusions:
The replies Indicate Il tendency to-
ward slight increase in acreage for
the cotton belt as n whole an increase,
h nc 1oN. mo- not overcoming the decrease
tendency to be restrained by certain
natural factors. The replies show
s sroaay id ADV. in diysrstication of
part of bankers and farmers to stand
together for the common good and a
greater degree Of comfort among the
all along the line for the bankers and
the growers to continue: even with
greater zeal. the policy of cooperation
which worked out so successfully dir
ing the past season.
1t seems, therefore, that while in
isolated instances there may be a
tendency to slightly increase the
acreage over that of last year that
as whole the planters are vindicat-
ing their recent wisdom in turning
aside from universal movement in
this direction.
From these conditions the consti-
tuition rightly concludes that with the
surplusage of the crop kept out of the
market by the reduced acreage, the
supply will better balance with the
demand and the prices obtainable be
nearer what the crop is worth.
There is a lesson in the idea for the
wheat growers of North Dakota.

FOR FLOWER GARDENS.

The Evening Times will in few
days begin the publication of de-
partlnent devoted to cultivation of
flowers. 1t will be conducted by Mrs
H. E. w. Bancroft of Merriield, who
is probably the greatest flower expert
in the state. The matter will be her
own ideas and experiences and will
be thoroughly practical.
Her work will be largely directed
to the children and an effort will be
made to interest those of the city in
identifying the same by planting flow
ers.
Life is not all sordid rush for
money or power or fame. There must
be room for the refining influences of
the beautiful in nature, art, poetry and
music.
None of these are more powerful in
their influences upon the aesthetic
side of man than the beauty of the
flowers
Artists may WELD brush whose
work will be the admiration of ages,
and may blend the colors of the rain
bow until the eye can see no fault
The harmony may be such as is only
equaled in the poets dreams of Ely
sian bowers. Yet all these are not
so nearly perfect as the charming
blend of colors and the exquisite paint
ing of the flowers.
AS the minds of the young are in
stilled with these beauties of nature,
they become refined. cultured and ar
tistic.
The cultivation of flower gardens in
the city would add to it's beauty and
especially to the beauty of the homes
having them.
