WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 26th, 1907.
PRESIDENT Roosevelt arrived in Wash.
ington on Wednesday afternoon and
| an hour after lis return was seated at bis
desk in the executive Offices, taking up
che macs of public business that had ac-
oamuIated during his absence, the most
iaaportant of which was the financial sit
nas;on. Secretary Root was the first Wis.
itor at the executive Offices and as the
Secretary OF State is New Yorker and q
lawyer. Gindoabtedly the troubled condi-
tions in the metropolis were under discus
sion in tile hour lle spent with the Presi-
dent President Roosevelt Is thoronghiy
informed regarding the financial stress in
Wall Street and is it understood lie re.
CARDS the crisis az over and that he ap-
proves the measures of relief afforded by
his Secretary OF the Treasury to both New
York and Pittsburg. Secretary Garfield
has reviewed the situation with the Presi.
dent at some length. lie made financial
conditions special subject of inquiry on
his recent extended Western trip and
found the outlook most encouraging. He
reports that Western bankers have grad
ually been divorcing themselves from
Wall street influences until they are now
virtually independent of them, at least to
the extent of not being embarrassed be-
cause of slump in the securities dealt in
on the New York Stock Exchange.
Their loans are largely secured by West
ern real estate and other local securities
aud those which are based on Eastern Sc
curities have been readiusted during the
past year on the lower values. 1t was
pointed out that had the New York furry
occurred four years ago, its influence
would have been widespread and it is
matter of profound satisfaction to the ad-
ministration that the embarrassment can
now be confined almost entirely to its
source. This view OF the finances of the
West is corroborated by Senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota and he adds
that the crop moving demand for money
is now virtually met without calling for
dollar from the East. The system OF
making loans on elevator receipts, he
said, supplied a demand which hereto
fore had to be met by calling on New
York and paying high rates of interest.
The President indicated that, comment
from him was unnecessary, when asked
If he would make any statement on the
situation.

Admiral Dewey has made brief state
ment on the main points of the contro.
yersy which seems to have sprung up as
to the relative. merits of Snbig Bay and
Manila Bay as the real key to the Philip
pine Islands. The Admiral has not taken
up the matter controversialiy but in com.
menting ON cablegrams from Manila and
variations on them which have appeared
in several newspapers in the United
States recently, said: ''Subig Bay is emil
nently fitted as the place for the naval
station of the United States in the East.
Manila Bay is totally untitled for such
purpose. II, as has been alleged, it
would require 100, 200 men to defend
Subig Bay against land attack, it would
require 100000 men to defend Manila
against the same enemy" The selection
Of Subig Bay was made by joint naval
and army board and was favored by Ad-
miral Dewey and quite cum of money
has already been spent for its adequate
fortification.

Several weeks ago payment OF all
moneys due from the Post Office Depart
ment to the Hartford Manufacturing
Company, of Hartford, Conn.,, was sus-
pended by Postmaster General Meyer and
the matter was submitted to the Attor-
ney General for such further action as
might be deemed proper. This week the
, Hartford Company which had the con-
tract up to July lst last for manufacturing
stamped envelopes and newspaper wrap
pers. made cash payment to Postmaster
General Meyer of 500, 600 as settlement
for all damages and injuries which the
Post Office Department may have sus-
tanned by reason of the company's fail
ure to furnish paper up to the contract.
The contract with the company required
that the paper for irst-quality envelopes
should be made of all.rag paper, whereas,
for considerable period, the paper fur
nished by the contractor consisted of 25
per cent. sulphite wood pulp, as was dis
closed by chemical analyses of samples
furnished by the company and which of

REPUBLICAN sUesERvIENcY.

There are a large number of Re
publican editors who are waiting for
The assembly of solons from over the
territory to tell them how to write
a bout the constitution. They expect
the coming assembly of moguls to in
struct as to whether they shall advise
their readers to vote for the consti'
tuition or to vote against IL.
These remarks do not apply to a
large number Of Republican editors
who have opinions of their own and
dare express them. OF course as soon
as the solons do assemble and in
struct them as to what position they
shall take, they will be expected to
promptly take back all they have said
and go for or against the constitu-
tion according to the edict that shall

can recall the Katy railroad tax levy

the promise of the road to run the
main line to Guthrie. The tax payers
rebelled against this and enjoned the
tax and the court sustained the peo-
pie.

DUKE MADE FRIENDS
FOR GUTHRIE.


Mayor Duke has been one of the
most popular mayors the city has
ever had. His popularity has not
been confined to Democrats. bit has
always stood well with conservative
Republicans. While he Is a Demo
crat. pure ard simple, and is proud
of his politics he has not carried them
to improper bounds in HIS administra-
tion of the affairs OF the capital city.
This has been a matter of note among
Republicans. as well as Democrats.
The simple truth Is that DR. Duke
has been mayor OF the whole city and
not mayor of some faction or some
part OF the people. Hence his popu-
larity
II was fortunate for the capital city
that during the meeting of the state
constitutional convention he held the
keys of the city and gracefully extend
cd to the delegates every facility
within his power, even to the extent
OF moving the mayors office, and
nearly all the other city offices out of
The city hall and turning them all over
TO the convention.
BY this and many other acts of
OurteSy ne won the esteem OF the
delegates both as an officer and an
individual This is attested by the
fact that one OF the last acts of the
convention was a vote of thanks tn
Mayor Duke for his hospitality and
good treatment during their long stay,
That the mayor did make friends
for the city at very crpcial time In
its history Is no small point In con
sidering the value of his services.
| Friends are an essential In the growth
and development OF any city, but they
become an absolute essential In one
that is candidate for state honors
If Or. Duke had performed no other
service than this he would merit thf
everlasting good will and commenda
tion of the whole people regardless OF
party. This to him. however, is only
one OF the flowers of his administra
tion; the solid work of conservative
finance, sound business and proeres
sive Improvement have been the rea
features that have entitled him to b'
known as ~the business mayor"
