Washington, April 24.-In a letter
addressed to Honore Jackson of Chi
cago, chairman of the Cook county
Moyer-Haywood conference, was
made public last night, in which
President Roosevelt replies to the
criticisms of his recent letter in which,
he referred to Meyer and Haywood
and the officials of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, charged with impli-
cation in the Steunenberg murder, as
undesirable citizens"
The president says he regrets that
any body of men should so far forget
their duty to their country as to, by
formation of societies or in other ways
cree a court or jury; that they, not
he, are trying to influence Justice and
he condemns what he calls their fla
grant impropriety in the matter. He
says he indicated no opinion as to
the guilt of the arrested persons, but
it was a simple absurdity to assume
that because a man is<on trial he is
free from criticism as TO his manner
of life.
Docs Not WithdraW.
He says he might as well be ac-
cused of trying to influence the suits
against Hartman, sonte of whose
friends had also criticized him. He
said that Meyer and Haywood stand
as representatives of those men who
have done as much to discredit labor
movements as the worst speculative
financiers or the most unscrupulous
employers of labor and debauchers of
legislatures have done to discredit
capitalists and fair dealing business
men.
He says that Meyer and Haywood
stand as representatives of those who
habitually appear as guilty of indict-
ment to, or apology for bloodshed
and violence.
He added that he is profoundly in
different to the condemnations of
him for his criticism of the undesira-
BILE type of citizens, regardless of the
power of either labor or capital.

ticaiiy inexhaustibte. 6
The. lower peninsula of Michigan is
almost entirely underlaid With a
stratum of rock salt averaging In
thickness about 300 feet and varying
In depth from 600 to 1900 feet. This
bed of rock salt Is saturated with
brine to a degree of strength Of "a to
80 per cent. 1t is psractica1ly mex
haustible, caused by a largearea of
rock salt outcropping in the bottom
Of Lake Huron, the process of seep
supplying hundreds of salt weeks with,
thousands of barrels of brine pumped
out daily.
In the city of Saginaw there has
just been completed and put In oper-
alton the most modern salt plant In
America. since advantage has been
taken of all new devices, machinery
and methods of handling the product
tending to economy in salt making.
These factors and that of utilizing the
waste steam from the Saginaw Plate
Glass company, of which the salt
plant is an adjunct, have reduced the
cost of producing salt to figure sur.
prising to all salt experts.
Automatic machinery has so sup.
planted labor in every process that
from the rock salt to the barred load.
ed In the car for shipment no hand
has touched the crystal. Only the
master saltmaker, well-known salt
expert. and a few helpers are re.
quired to watch the machinery and
keep 1t in perfect running order

There is a certain war veteran in
Boston whom We will call William
Brown. He has an honorable record.
and is fond of relating incidents. OF
the rebellion. He often tells how he
got cut on the head from the sword
OF Confederate cavalryman. There
is a small bare place which he says
was the scar of his wound. Many a
time we who work in the same office
with him have heard this story.
Brown has brother Charlie who
came into the Office the other day to
make call. Bill was at his. lesl,
writing when Charlie walked ap be.

the shoulder, said loosely. "Well, Bill,
see you still have that scar on your
head where Buffers dog bit you when
we were boys!" From that time one
Of Bills war stories gets little Gre
