While enroute to the south William
r. Hearst stopped at San Antonio,
Texas, for a very brief respite in his
journey, and there he announced
with detiniteness that he would never
again become a candidate, which, if
true, eliminates the gentleman from
further disturbances in New York
state aud the nation, so far as any
personal aspirations are concerned.
This leads somewhat to questioning
what effect Mr.. Hearst will have on
the Bryan campaign for the presi-
dency in 1908 with reference to the
manner in which democracy chose
at one time between the gentlemen,
in which, finally, the alleged con-
servatism OF Mr.. Bryan proved the
greatest attraction to the democratic
party. AS has been shown by Mr..
Bryan. however. that his conser-
vatism as a very thin mask. his sail
ing along that line will not be so
smooth as was anticipated. With
Hearst supporting Bryan in the
presidential campaign it is believed
this will have a tendency to give the
democracy cold feet on the Bryan
proposition.

While in Kansas City to deliver an
address before a prominent club,
Secretary of State Root was inter-
viewed once more concerning the
possibility of President Roosevelt
accepting another nomination at the
hands of the republican party. Much
as, some Of the party leadres and the
great friends Of the president have
hoped that he would accept another
nomination, according the secretary
they are doomed to disappointment.
Mr.. Root is quoted as saying that
even though a nomination was ten
dered him by the entire convention
he would decline it, and it seems
that no amount Of persuasion is 60
ing to change his mind on the
question. Until the convention is
held, however, hope will rot be
given up that the president may
change his mind, though that is
something he does not often do.

An alligator is Il rare thing in tue

Of Pensacola. Fla.
Where they could be seen i'm hun
dreds ten years ago. dotting the banks
OF the rivers and swimming in the
Florida swa1nps, the sight is now be-
coming q very uncommon one. The
great demand for their skins has prac-
dcally exterminated the creatures, and
they will soon be as scarce as the
western buffalo. Some may still be
found in the Everglades and other
swamps, but they are rarely seen, as
they live in mudholes to which even
the Seminoles cannot gain access.
The few that are captured are
caught by means of strategy, as the
open water shooting is a thing of the
past. A strict watch is kept over
their holes, and the moment the gator
appears he is lassoed and dragged
bodily from his home. 1t is a very
dangerous method while In the water.

dozen men to drag an eight foot alli-
gator to the mainland. Even when this

blow from the creatures tail would

government has taken the bounty Off
the alligators, which in former years
was a great source of revenue to the
shiftless Crackers that inhabit the
swamps and make their living in the
easiest possible manner. The price of
the skins has become double what It
was a few years ago, and 1t will not be
long before the dealers will have to
find some substitute for the skin of the

"ANKERS AND CURRENCY.

Because the legislation program cut out for

is argued that it must be perfect.
But there is lot of public opinion in this republic
to the effect that bankers not the only people who
have interest in the currency
Possibly it is very absurd but there is widespread
belief that bankers for their interests

when all the bankers get together currency propo

Unfortunately, bankers apt tc entertain the idea
that currency is created for the benefit of banks not
that banks exist merely a currency convenience.
To the banker mind, money exists for the yielding Of
interest To the average business mind it exist for the
saving of interest.
The essential purpose of currency is to facilitate
general industry and its volume and eXbity ought to
be regulated solely to that end.
Quite different viewpoint is that of the banker
who would like to have the money supply far regu
lated by himself to afford him the highest possible
rate of interest.
Congress knows very well that the currency system
is defective But congress knows too, ought to know
that the main defects due to any oversight Of the
interests Of the money loaners but to oversight of the
