PRESIDENT ON CRISIS.
PRAISES Mr.. CORTELYOU.
COngratulates Conservative Business
Men-BeEeUes Conditions Sound.

Washington Oct 26-President Roosevelt
to-day congratulated Secretary Cortelyou on
his admirable handling of the financial
crisis. The letter OF congratulation, which was
made public at the White House, was made
the medium for expressing the Presidents thor
ough belief in the soundness and honesty of
the underlying financial and Industrial condi-
tions of the country. It follows:
My Dear Mr.. Cortelyou: 1 congratulate you
upon the admirable way in which you have
handled the present crisis. congratulate also
those conservative and substantial business
men who in this crisis have acted with such
wisdom and public spirit BY their action they
did invaluab BILE service in checking the panic,
which. beginning a matter of speculation.
was threatening TO destroy the confidence and
business No one who considers calmly can
question that the underlying conditions which
make up our financial and industrial wellbeing
are essentially sound and honest. Dishonest
dealing and speculative enterprise are merely
the occasional incidents of our real prosperity.
The action taken by you and by the business
men in question has been of the utmost conse-
quence and has secured opportunity for the
calm consideration which must inevitably pro-
duce entire confidence in business condi-
tons. Faithfully yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Hon. George r. Cortelyou. Secretary Of the
Treasury"

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
II Is Pronounced a Failure in Europe.


Senator Isador Raynor, in an article
in the Baltimore Sun, says:
81 have been studying for years with
all the statistics that l could gather
governmental ownership of railroads in
Germany, Austria Hungary, Russia
and Australia. 1t has been practical
failure in all these countries. The
Prusslan Diet in 1870 authorized the
Government to begin the purchase of
the entire railway system of Prussia;
IN Hungary the State owns so per cent
of the railways; in Russia upward of
IS per cent. What is the result? Ger.
many today. with its agriculture, its
manufactures and its trade, rests upon
the waterways and not upon the rail
ways. The Government has reduced
the railways as feeders to the rivers
and canals. In Russia there is the
same condition, with resulting recourse
to transportation by river. In Aus
tralia under the system its export and
important trade is virtually confined to
single seaport city. Won Miguel, as
great man almost as Bismarck, Prus-
sla'S minister of finance from 1890 to
1900, openly proclaimed that govern
mental ownership was disaster and
calamity. The great city of Bremen,
statistics show, lost large part of its
trade and commerce under the system
and in 1900 the Chamber of Commerce
OF Posen, a port on the Oder, near the
Galician frontier, stated in a memorial
to the Prussian minister of railways
that under the governmental owner
ship the Galician oil fields were farther
from Germany than were those of the
United States. In five years, ending
with 1901, more than so per cent. Of
the shipments that Austria Hungary
sent into the Elbe territory of Ger
many, which by rail comprised Berlin
and Hamburg, consisted of what is
known as neighborhood traffic. One of
the best informed political economists
OF the day has stated that in all these
countries the result of governmental
ownership has been to transfer from
the field of business to the field of poll
tics the perplexing question of trade
rivalry and jealousy precipitated by the
humiliation of distance by means of
the railway. In other words, foreign
systems have been an utter failure, and
today they do not compare either in
point of facilities or low rates or in any
other way with the American system
of private ownership"

suLL1vAN's GRANITE BUSINESS.

Business in the granite line is now
well underway in West Sullivan, all of
the companies having full crews at
work, and several cargoes of stone
have already gone. There are seven
firms now besides the Benvenue Granite
Company. This company acquired the
700 acre Simpson property and have a
big crew on at work opening up a big
quarry, erecting massive derricks and
getting ready to build several miles of
steam railroad and enlarge their
wharfage room to several hundred
yards dock room. Families are moving
in as fast as the tenaments can take
them and the old store will be modelled
into boarding house for several score
of wOrkmen. This concern is one of the
big ones, having plants in Connecticut,
New York, Stonington and Sullivan.
This place is most likely to be larger
than all others as their big holdings af-
ford them ample stone and other
facilities to do business better and
cheaper than elsewhere. The town
now supplies stone for Atlantic sea-
board cities as far south as Washington,
d. c., and Atlanta, Ca, demonstrating
that they can compete with any section,
even with present primitive methods.
Owing to splendid rail and water
facilities it is easy to get and hold the
best of skilled labor, as well as supplies
to and from market.

Emusic in their souls" for many years.
Calvin was run down by the cars in
Minneapolis, Mimi, several years ago,
and knew not what had struck him.
He was good man, and respected
citizen of the communities where he

the Gospel for many years: first as a
Methodist Episcopal minister, but later
Uniyersalist. His ministry was con-
fined mostly to the towns of Monroe,
and the village of Brooks; and it was
here that he induced this present writer
to make his first effort at preaching in
the village church, in the presence of
relatives, friends, and former school
mates in the early fifties; time not
