"MY!" Says Roosevelt.

The old saying that it makes some
difference whose OK is gored has been
changed in sound but not in sense, by
President Roosevelt. in order to ex-
press his sfeelings in relation to the
panic. When he heard of the failure
OF the great Westinghouse Electrical
concern, he exclaimed: my !! I didn't
mean to hit them.' This EXPIRE ssion
proves that the President meant to hit
somebody and spare somebody else, but
that his strokes were so careiessIy de-
livered that they hit his friends, as
well as hisssfoes. >Ss8 SssSS
Ellis venomstowards particular people
caused him to be blinds to ali else.
And it was the failure of the Westing-
house concern mat precip;tated the
panic.
Possibly, the President intended to
produce panic in order that his good
friends of the Steel Trust might break
down and absorb the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company, and thus. by be-
coming a still greater opoly, be-
come better trust than ever. 1t
looks that way. 1t looks as if the
President had been all along the tool
of certain bear interests in Wall street
as if ne had been striving to depress
certain lines Of securities on the mar
until nd had absorbed them
at bottom prices, and so gain control
of the properties represented by those
securities. But his 'bear policy"
cot intended to hurt Westing-
house. Nor was it intended to hit any
of those trust companies. banks, real
estate companies, or other enterprises
in which the numerous Rooseveits are
1t looks indeed, as if his
policy had been aimed exclusively
against independent industrial enter
prises which were struggling with the
trusts. The independently have been
s'yI~u ~ IL, oil
nOed to the pressure b.oLkL,
ar by the Morgan-Roosevelt fl
al interests. And since this OBJ
IS been attained. the President Sc
, be satisfied.
He will now turn bull for a VIII
ie will make friends of all those VIII,
has pretended to despise. I
lalefactors of great wealth, the crin
iai rich, the undesirable citizens, etc
Ill be forgiven, and will enter t.
.itchen Cabinet. They have mac
Millions out of this panic. They hav
aimed the sue of government fund
mounting to $21, 500, 600. while none
vas bringing from 80 to so per cent in
-erest. They have crushed their com
)etitors. They have won great vic
.ories, and are now great captains o.
industry" again as they were in 1904.
they may be relied upon to pile up q
larger corruption fund next year than
they did three years ago.
The only unfortunate incident of this
glorious work of Roosevelt is, that
somebody has been hit whom it was
not intended to hit. But this is of lit
tie consequence So long as the good
Steel Trust has proiited, and the Pres
ident, and his uncles. his brothers, sis
tiers. cousins, and aunts have not been
hurt.
If anybody complains, the President
consoles him by exclaiming: "Myl /
didn' tHmeans.t hit you. And that
apology satisfies The poor wreck of a
grumbler.

A Queer Plant Disease

A \ extremely interesting proof Of the deli
cacy of the balance Of forces upon which
the life and health Of animals and plants de
pcnds IS furnished by some recent experiments
At the Department Of Agriculture.
TomatoeS grown IN the forcing houses of the
department had the veins "t their leaves
greatly swollen and turned white, and the
leaf cells were enormously stretched, much
~o. IN fact, that At length they burst and water
poured plentitulIy from them. The cause ot
these singular phenomena was found to he
that in consequence Of the great amount oi
moisture contained IN the warm arr OF the
forcing houses the leaves were not able to give
out water 10y Transportation so fast as 1t rAs
sent into them 10y the action of the roots 1t

Another instance of Il similar effect has been
seen in the case of apple trees which were
ruthlosslv pruned during the winter. When
spring came and the roots began To send cur
rents Of moisture flowing upward INTO the
twigs and leaves, the latter had been SO greatly
reduced IN number that they could not take
care uf the too abundant supply thus forced
upon them, and 2S = result the leaves became

FOURTH WARD.
Election VIII Be
Interesting -Winther and
Schmidt Candidates.

There are indications of a scrap in
| the Fourth ward to fill the position o.
alderman made vacant by the election
of Geo. HI. Waskey, member OF tnt
council from that ward, to the Office OF
mayor A caucus had been called tt
be held last evening, and in rounding
up few of the faithful to be present
to turn the nominating trick, the
managers of the affair allowed it tC
| leak out that A q Schmidt was slated
| for the place. Voters of the ward op
posed to this mode of procedure de-
cided to ignore the slated caucus and
select a candidate without caucus pre-
liminary. Accordingly, a nominating
petition was prepared, placing G. W
Winther in the field for the position
The petition was signed by representa-
tive voters of the ward and duly FLED
with the city auditor yesterday after
noon in advance of the caucus. Moth
ing daunted, the caucus was held and
A. g. Schmidt received the nomina-
tion according to previous plans. Mr.,
Schmidt is an oldline officeseeker,
generally maDeuvering to get his name
on both spring and fall tickets, and has
held positions on the city council at
different times when the signs wele
right. He also occupied the position
of mayor for one term, being showed
under year ago by Z. A. kippe when
he entered the race for a reelection,
Mr.. Schmidt's 8 desire for and efforts to
secure Office at all times and under all
circumstances had much to do with
bringing out Mr.. Winther as alderman
from the Fourth ward, when it became
known that Mr. Schmidt was planning
to get into the race for the vacant posi-
ton. The Fourth ward voters con
cluded that they preferred a new man
to represent them, hence the nomina-
tion of Mr. Winther who is recognized
as superior business man, especially
capable of filing the place The re-
port was started this morning that Mr..
Winther would decline to stand as a
candidate But Mr. Winther denied
this to The Daily Leader, and his name
will be found on the ballot on election
day. At the late election Mr.. Winther
was chosen a member of the school
board from the Fourth ward but for
this Office he will not qualify, the
voters of the ward interested in his cleo
ton preferring that he accept a posi-
tion on the city council instead A
good argument advanced is Mr. Win
ther S residence in the ward-the south
east portion-while Alderman Seid and
Candidate Schmidt reside practically
in the same block.

BANKER ARRESTED
King of the Scotland National
Bank Must Answer for
Misdeeds.

Scotland, April 24-The news of the
arrest of G. c. King, president of the
failed First National bank of Scotland,
in Chicago today, did not create sur,
prise here, as his arrest had been ex
pected for several weeks.
Private dispatches received here say
that King waived examination in Chi
cago, and that he is now on his way to
Sioux Falls in charge of federal
officer. He will be arraigned in the
federal court at Aberdeen in June.
The affairs of the failed First Nation.
al Dank are in an exceedingly bad con
dition OF the 800, 600 worth of paper
held by the bank only about $50, 900 is
good, The stockholders in the institu-
ton have been assessed 100 per cent.
but this will only net about $4,000.
King lost most Of the funds in specu'
iation. He was considered plunger.
He has lived in Scotland for about
twelve years, and has been in the bank
ing business nearly all this time. In
1908 he reorganized the Bank OF Scot
land, and it was renamed the First Ma
tional Of Scotland, with c. {. King al
president: O. S. Barker, vice presi
dent; J. F. Resner. cashier. Its capi

At the time of the failure on Febru

ger this morning to st. Paul to enjoy
the season of grand opera which is in
progress in that city this week. The
occasion is the production of Tanhauser
by the Heinrich Conrad Metropolitan
Grand Opera Co. of New York.
The fact that the proceeds of the
concert at the Normal Auditorium on
Friday evening, May 10th, are to be

new Carnegie library, will insure full
house. The program includes numbers
from Madison's best musicians, besides

reach of ALL Come and help a good
cause, besides enjoying a pleasant
evening.
Merchants of the city are discussing
the matter of holding Fourth of July
celebration in Madison The plan SO
far suggested is to open the National
day with grand demonstration and
continue the festivities for week.
Farmers of the county and people of
the surrounding towns will be invited,
and all will be given the best of enter
talnment. The enterprise is still in its
infancy but definite plans will no
doubt be formulated and made public
at an early date.
