Who'll Pay the Piper?

(From the Philadelphia Telegraph)
His bitterest enemy will not charge
President Roosevelt with a paucfty of
ideas or with any fear of expressing
them. No executive has dedicated
himself more completely to the hercu-
lean labor of solving the political and
economic problems of his government
than he, and it is no doubt to this in
cessa1lt desire to accomplish better
ment along all the lines of our ma
tional activities that we owe the sug-
gestion in his annual message that the
government should finance the leading
political parties. To the hasty mind
this may appear utterly Quixotic. but
to the reasoning mind. impracticable

ALTON WILL NOT BE TRIED
President Will Pardon Railroad if
Indicted

Washington, Sept. 5.-That Presi-
dent Roosevelt will issue pardon to
the Chicago and Alton railroad if
Judge Lands persists in his deter
mination to bring that company to
account for its share in the Standard
Oil rebating case is now practically
certain.
This information comes direct from
a government official who is in a posi-
ton to know. Many precedents are
found for such action The admins
tration entered into fair and square
deal with the Alton officials to give
them and their road immunity in case
they would turn states evidence
against the Standard Oil. The rail
road officials did so, SO the department
Of justice holds, and the administra-
ton proposes to stand by its agree
ment.
Judge Lands apparent determina-
ton to ignore the immunity plea has
enraged the officials at the depart
ment of justice and they have fully
decided that the government shall
take no part in the investigation be-
fore the grand jury if Judge Lands
orders one.

ing the attorney general and the rail

chandise rates ordered by the COM
mission came on before Judge Loeb
rem in the United States circuit court
at st. Paul Tuesday.
These suits are regarded by lawyers
as among the most important that
have been brought in a generation, as
the ultimate decision thereon will de-
fine the respective powers of the fed
eral and state governments in regard
to rate regulation over roads engaged
in interstate commerce. The ques-
ton is whether the state in regulating
local rates interferes with the exercise
Of the recognized powers of the gen.

MERGE THE SMALL LINES
J. j. Hill Proposes to End Their Cor
porate Existence.

porate Existence.
New York, Sept 5.-The stockhold-
ers of the Great Northern Railway
company, at the annual meeting to be
held in this city on Oct. 1, will be
asked to vote on a proposition that
the Great Northern shall acquire, sub
ject to existing liens, all the proper
ties of the subsidiary companies. In
a letter to stockholders Chairman
James j. Hill of the board of direc-
tors says the directors consider the
change desirable, as it will consoli-
date the ownership of the property
and simplify the management of the
system.
The proposition is to wipe out the
corporate existence of the small lines
by merging them with the operating
company. Some of these lines are
the st. Paul, Minneapolis and Mani
toba; Eastern Railway of Minnesota;
Willmar and Sioux Falls railway;
Park Rapids and Leeoh Lake rail
way; Minneapolis and Great Northern
railway; Duluth, Watertown and Pa
cific railway; Dakota and Great North
ern railway, Montana and Great
Northern railway; Montana Central
railway and a half dozen more.

came abusive. He said they went out

says he had no intention of seriously
hurting Maher and that he only
wanted to subdue him and make him

lated Minnesota Game Laws.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., the son of
the president, apparently was not ar
rested by state game Wardens. for he
returned to Duluth from Coleraine
on Sunday afternoon and went di-
rectly to the Omaha depot to take the
Limited fer Chicago. He declined to
talk and there is no evidence that
he hunted In Minnesota without
license
When the statement appeared in
print that young Roosevelt had left
Duluth for Coleraine to hunt, officers
of the state game and fish commission
in st. Paul looked up the records and
found that he had secured no nom
residents license to hunt in Minneso-
ia. 1t he undertook to hunt without a
license he would be violating the state
game law. It was not thought that
the son Of the president would de-
liberately violate the law and if he in
tended to hunt without a license, it
would probably be because he did not
know that license is required
But word was sent to deputy game
warden at Bemidji to go at once to
ColeFaina and il he found that young
Roosevelt had violated the law, to ar
rest him The deputy has not been
heard from and the question is did
the presidents son violate the law?

TO RESUME BUSINESS
Affairs Of Watson & Co. Not as
Bad as First Supposed.
ASSETS OF ABOUT ST 900, 600
Creditors of Minneapolis Concern Ex-
pected to Be Paid in FuiI-News
of the State in General.

Developments in the case of Watson
& Co., the Minneapolis grain commits
sion and Stock Exchange house that
was declared in financial difficulties
on Thursday, are so increasingly ia
vorable as to make it seem almost
certain that there soon will be re-
sumption of business.
No statement of the exact standing
of the firm is yet possible, but the
showing of assets of nearly $1,000,00O
available in the New York Office made
the situation better and as conditions
are brought out more in detail it ap-
pears that the firm is much stronger
than was supposed when the an
nouncement of the receivership was
made.
The statement that all claims will
be paid in full and that no one hav-
ing money due from the firm will lose
a dollar seems warranted.
The Offices of the firm, though not
accepting business, are open and all
connections have been maintained
and in the event of the perfection OF
the necessary arrangements, which
now seems almost assured, business
can be resumed very promptly. H. P
Watson said:
'The reports about the connection
of Mr.. Hill with our firm are wholly
| unwarranted. Neither Mr.. James ]
Hill or Mr. Louis w. Hill ever had any
connection whatever with Watson &
| Co. Neither of them ever did any
business with us. We never had E
| transaction for either Of them at AM
