fatigible industry. He is light on
his feet and nlmbie in his mind.
He is able to turn quickly from
one subject to another and dis
patch an enormous amount Of
business. Above all, he Is a fair
minded man. He has had a judi
cial training. He would adorn al
most any position In the govern
ment from that of chief justice
to that OF president. II the choice
of the people eventually shall
fall upon him it will be for
tunate choice.
II is another thing to have
him showed upon the people.
We do not like to consider Sec
rotary Taft as the "heir" to the
administration, nor President
Roosevelt as the man VINO is
choosing political "heir," or
who feels that it is incumbent
on him to name his successor,
or that it is proper for him to
do so.
The inference here seems to be
that Roosevelt is doing just what the
Chicago Tribune deplores, and that
Roosevelt is seeking primarily and
solely to name the individual who
shall succeed him. If this was a fact
and Roosevelt was endeavoring tc
construct and perpetuate persona
machine, we should not only de
plore, but we should denounce such
dictatorship. But its dimness on this
point, is what casts suspicion on the
expression of the Chicago Tribune
In the first place, Roosevelt, a!
none of his predecessors for decades
represents a principle, and in thai
principle. represents the people, as
opposed to demagogy on the one
hand and piratical private interests
on the other. He has undertaken 9
policy in which he is wrapped hear
and soul. In the sense that his poll,
cies are the embodiment of public
integrity they are revolutionary. Al
this very crucial point, when he Il
on the eve of resigning the chief mag
istracy, there is a reactionary move
ment on foot. The president has the
confidence of the people, and he
feels an obligation to lead them in
their battle for higher ideal in
politics. In this sense, as the frs
citizen of the country, he has not only
the right, but the duty devolves upor
him, to sound his voice in choosing
the next president.
In the second place, Roosevelt die
not attempt to "shove" Taft on the
public. Roosevelt could not shove
Taft on the public. There is not suf
ficient federal patronage to contro
the state delegations. against ths
combined will of the people and the
state patronage.
That Taft is the choice Of the
president, there seems to be nc
doubt; but if Taft is not the choice
of the people he will stand little
show. The fight was started Oh
Roosevelt and his policies, first, tc
suppress him; then, that falling. tc
succeed MIN with reactionary
When the enemies of the administra.
tion and the enemies of the people
undertook their coup Roosevelt as
sumed the aggressive, because that
is his style Of fighting.
If Taft is popular and capable and
wishes to be president, and Roosevelt
likes him and wishes him to be pres
ident, we can scarcely comprehend
the ethics that would compel the
president to sit supinely in the exec
utive chair and permit his enemies
to run away with the nomination.

EXPOSITION OPENS
Continued from page one.)

every vessel fired a presidential sa-
lutte of 21 guns. TIE presidents re-
view of the feet, consumed about one
hour. aud as soon as the Mayfiower
had made her journey around the
warships, and had received from
each ner greeting of 21 guns, the
yacht came to anchor. and the pres
ident gave his reception to the flag
and commanding officers of the fleet.
Surrounded by a brilliant gathering
| of gold-laced officers, the president
stood on the deck, and shook hands
cordially with each Officer as he came
over the side By 10 o'clock the re-
ception was ended, and the visiting
Officers returned to their ships. The
president was allowed a little time to
rest before the exercises began on
land, but he was on the move again
Iby IL o'clock, going ashore in the
lMayfiower's big launch. As he step
lped over the Mayflower's side to dis
embarg, the blue presidential fog,
which had been flying from the peak
of the yacht came down, and at the
same moment one of the white
clothed sailors unfurled a duplicate
flag of blue, and floated it from the
stern. Before the launch put off from
the Mayflower's side the guns of the
yacht began counting the 21 signals
from each of the big ships. The presi-
dent was met at the end of the pier
| by military escort, and as he en-
tered the exposition grounds was
given another 81 gun salute by the
United States artillery. 1t lacked but
few minutes of 1880 When the
president was escorted to the review
ing stand on Lees parade, in the
rear of the Auditorium building,
where the opening exercises were to
be held.
The Real Opening.
This is the program that was fol-
lowed:
1. Opening prayer by the Right
Rev Alfred Magill Randolph. bishop
of the diocese of Southern Virginia.
2. Address and introduction OF the
president of the United States by
Hon. Harry St. George Tucker, pres
ident of the jamestown Exposition
company.
3. Address by Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States.
The opening by the, president of
the United States.
AS soon as President Roosevelt
touched the gold button which was to
turn on the electric current through
ont the exposition grounds, every
wheel in the new city began to move.
At the same moment a thousand
flags were unfurled, all the ships in
the harbor contributed their share by
firing salutes, every band burst forth
with 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner"
and every soldier presented arms. The
jamestown exposition was open
But that was only the beginning.
The military review came next and
for nearly an hour the president re-
ceived the salutes of the troops, led
by Major General Frederick d.
Grant. Behind the soldiers and sail
ors of the United States in formida-
Bile array came the fighting men
from the warsnips. Many governors
of states who came tc the exposition
with military escorts. helped swell
the procession of armed men.

WARNING IN SHOE SOLE.
Lookout Man Wears Copper Plate I
Start Electric Buzzer.

Some of the dives about town tina
are under the ban of the police have
ingenious contrivances for warning
occupants and patrons of the ap
proach of "bull'' or any other sus
pected person. BY the way, these
places are never referred to in the
vernacular as dives or Joints" foI

slang changes as quickly as wor,

Warning of the approach of police
man or detective is given by means OF
an electric buzzer. Formerly the push.
button connected with the buzzer was
concealed under the edge of the bal
in front of or behind water pipe
This device, however, was discovered
by the police, who thereafter on en-
teiing suspected place kept close
watch on the barkeeper and gave him
no chance to press the button.
Then came the prong device This
consisted of two small metal prongs
projecting from the edge of the wall
When man suspected to be limb oi
the law entered the door the barkeep
er carelessly placed coin across the
two prongs, thus making circuit and
causing the buzzer to sound in the
rear.
This device was discovered, too, sc
now a lookout is stationed outside the
door of dive. He apparently is a
lounger, but he scans closely by a
quick glance the face of every person
who enters. If a man doesn't look

BELIEVES IN sun SPOTS.
A Word About Favorite Theory as
to Short Crops.

In the bottom of its heart a good
part OF the financial community cher
ishes the suspicion that financial
crises. especially when caused or ac.
companied by bad harvests. have
something to do with sun spots.
says the New York Post. The argii.
ment is that these years of intense
solar activity come somewhere near
once in ten years and so do panics;
that "sun spots" very probably cause
abnormal seasons on our own planet
and that abnormal seasons cause crop
failures and trouble in the stock ex.
change Nobody would need TO take
.his seriously but for the fact that, 80
years ago, a very eminent English
economist frankly asserted his belief
in the theory. Prof. >Jevons was so
confident of its applicability that in
1875 he predicted European panic in
1879, because the 'sun-spot' activity
would then be again approaching a
maximum.
But how about the factso The yeai
1887 was one of sun-spot maximum
and also a year of commercial panic
SUN spots were very active in 1871,
1872 and 1879 and we know what hap
per ed in the markets. In 1883 a VIC
.snt maximum was reached; Europe
lad a stock-exchange panic in 1885
ind the United States one in 1884
There was a famous "sun-spot year
IN 1898 and. what is more to the point
we are still in period of solar activi
ty and disordered markets.
So far. this is all very well: but lei
us be thorough. The panic of 1857
was one of the worst on the list. and
1857 came in period of sun-spoi
minimum. In 1866, when one of the
worst of England's financial crises oc
cured, solar activity was at the low
est level in decade A period OF
sun-spot minimum began in 1889 anc
continued into the Barring year.,
1890. Evidently sun spots do not al
ways have the same effect.
Prof Jevons thought that the effec'
was i'ought about through crop faii
ures. The astronomers tell us, how
ever, that so far as there is any CORE
spondence, cold years, rains and in
undations appear to correspond to
those when the sun is quiet: dry ant
warm years to epochs of great solai
activity" Now dry year may ruiz
crops as well as cold year; but as
matter of record among panic years
1857 produced an abundant European
harvest. 1873 yielded a bumper crop
in the United States, with 1872 good
second, and 1884 was year of un
paIalleled wheat production all over
the world. And what is to be said o.
1879 and 1897, when the world raised
bumper crops" in the western hemi
sphere and lost most of the harvest ir
the eastern.

THERE is A REASON.
The Medical Times Explains Why
Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.

The Medical Times for April In a
moment of frankness explains the
whole opposition of physicians TO pat
ent" medicines which are taken with
out a prescription, in the following
words:
I'VE will hardly repeat here the
specific statement to the effect that
in one year s62,000.O00 has been ex-
pended on patent medicines in the
practitioner in the country a yearly
Income of $4,000. In the face of such
facts as these, all talk of love of hui
manity, altruism, self-abnegation and
the like becomes CHEAP and nauseat.
ing. 1t appears to us that such bun.
combe should give place to homely
common sense"
Reliable authority states that the
gross amount of the patent medi-
cine business is about $4,000. 900 in
stead of $62 100000 but taking the
Medical Times figures as correct they
represent an outlay of considerably
less than 81 per capita for home medi-
cation. The cost of doctors fees ex-
elusive of medicines except such as
are dispensed for the same period,
probably was approximately $3.50. .000,-
900. This is reached by allowing an
average income of $4,000 to each of
the 115,000 physicians in the United
States. Even allowing that a gross
business of s62 100000 is to be divid-
ed between 115,000 physicians the in
come of each would not be increased
more than $40.
