Bourbouisrn and Opportunity

poses as follows: Personally, do not see
any reason for revising the tariff. II

suited in such prosperity should be LETT

mout in sore parts Of the country favor

NIT that the sentiment is entitled TO some
recognition. Consequently, 1 believe that

diately after the next President has taken
his seat"

Knox. TooP

When It is remembered how close. cor

be between President Roosevelt and Sen
atcr Knox. doubt Is thrown upon the
widespread rumor that the President had
the eminent Pennsylvania in mind when
he declared recently that favorite-son
movements in various States were being
organized for the purpose Of turning the
control Of his party back to the re
dictionaries" It was Mr.. Knox who, while
Attorney General formulated the Roose-
welt antitrust policy and impaired vigor
70 Il by instituting and successfully prose-
cutting the suit against the Northern
Securities Company. After the Penn
sylvaulan's transfer from the Cabinet to
the Senate the President still relied upon
Mr.. Kncx's judgment and fidelity IA all
important matters Of legislation in which
important administration policies we're in
volved. Particularly was this true as to
the Roosevelt railroad programme. SO
highly did the President esteem Senator
Knox year ago that he proffered 10 him
the vacancy in the Supreme Court caused
by the retirement OF Associate Justice
Grown. Not until after the Senator had
declined the place did the President ten

that the Pennsylvania delegation 70 the
