ROOSEVELT luck AGAIN.
Hartman Revelation Nip the Plans
of Knockers.



The great difficulty experienced by con-
sentative republicans Of the standing of
Senator Foraker and Senator Scott. who
are willing to stake their own popularity
on the chance Of rescuing the republican
party from the clutches OF Rooseveltsm
Is that just when their plans are all laid
their corporation friends desert them.
For instance. they had every right 90 ex-
pect Mr.. Harrimans steadfast support.
They ard their fellow believers in con-
stitutional principles had done what they
could TO prevent President Roosevelt from
putting the RAILROADS under strict federal
control A grave crime had been com
mitted against property rights in the name
OF the administration. Unfortunately Mr
Hartman gets caught IN a series 81 un-
lawful traffic contracts and scandalous
stock manipulations just at the hour set
for the deliverance OF their party from the
hands Of rate law radicals. Mr.. Rogers
and Mr.. Rockefeller turn out to be Mir
Harriman's accessories. Their STANDARD
oil trust is also nipped by the admins
tration at the business of Rotating and
brought into the criminal courts. who
knows when Mr.. Hartman will land there
Think what a disappointment it means
to the conservative leaders OF the senatel
The country was beginning to be bored by
President RooseveTt's idgety ways. The
negro vote was lining up. The republican
ma tional committee was as good as cap
tured Wall street was In ambush, every
knife sharpened and every check book
within reach. Foraker and Scott had been
fitted for bright new uniforms. All at
once Mr. Roosevelt. instead OF throwing
I'D HIS hands at the first signs of sharp
fight, comes into camp with Hartman and
half dozen Standard oil bankers and
directors in tow. How is any party to be
seriously saved when such things happen
and people greet with enthusiastic APP
plause Interruptions not provided for in

The Congressional Record issued last
Monday morning is filled with the appre-
ciative lament of members of the house Of
representatives for the death of William II.
Bate, late a senator from the State OF
Tennessee" The same issue contains the
belated speeches OF several senators on the
same subject delivered January II, 1907.
Senator Bate died March 9, 1905, almost
two years ago. The pious grief of his COL
leagues has been kept in cold storage an
unusually long time waiting. we assume, a
convenient time for its public manifesto
ton The written speeches are probably
none the worse, and the poetical extracts
with which the speeches are freely sprink-
led are none the less fresh because Of the
delay in the delivery. The house wisely
chose the Sabbath day for its mortuary
addresses, deeming it, in the condition Of
it's business, a work of necessity and mercy
not to waste week day in the expression
Of grief so long post mortem.
Senator Bate fell victim to the per-
nicious custom of holding an outdoor pa
geant and Inauguration ceremonies on the
4th Of March. The pneumonia weather so
common at that period has caused many
deaths. 1t is especially perilous to men
past the meridian of life and with lowered
vitality. Yet the bill to change Inaugural
ton day to the more clement period at the
close OF April appears to be almost as dead
as Senator Bate.
Apparently congress would rather lose
some OF it's members occasionally and
mourn their death at some convenient
period two years later than to change IN
auguration day to April 30, that propitious
time OF year when George Washington
took the oath Of Office as the first president
OF the United States.

Nebraska is somewhat surprised at
the receipt from the general govern
ment Of a sum of money on account of

some law to dispose OF the cash in

that Forester Harrison of York. has
offered very attractive and appar-
emily reasonable solution, and that the
money be used as the first step in a
scientific forestration OF the now bar

the endless searching that now goes on.
Any court owner can register his title.

and established in the owner and certii-
ate of title is issued to him. All liens and
membranes must be noted upon the GER

The widespread popularity of the Teddy

market in New York. Long before Teddy
bears were even thought of the soft, fur
like cloth from which they are made was
christened "bearskin," and is 30 known in
the dry goods world 1t is largely used
for making coats for small children. Manu-
facturers of Teddy bears are able to use
such large quantities OF 1t that their
orders get a preference over the usual
orders from mercantile houses. AS a
result there is scarcity of the cloth
in the trade and local wholesalers are
driven to distraction TO find a way to APP
pease their camoring customers. They are
able only partly to fill all orders for the
stuff, while the factories are working over
time to produce it.
one of the large department stores of
Brooklyn sold during the holiday season,
10000 Teddy bears. A buyer in Germany
in the fall purchased what he believed
would see them through. They were
snapped up in a few days, and second
order was cabled. Originally they were
called "cubby" bears. but when Paul Piper
invented the cult of the Teddy bears" the
name was changed by general consent.

any benefit from the hundreds OF thousands
of bears Sold but he certainly did from

The Philadelphia Ledger correspondent
points out that Greater New York has
during the last five years built 1878 fat
houses furnishing homes for 5S5,0I ten
ants. The cost for construction has been
S390,512,595 When the cost of land is In
cluded the total investment has reached
81, 200. 100000. The investment to house each
person has been Si,710. If each tenant has
paid, on the average, 10 per cent a year
for housing Accommodations, the annual
rent which such an investment demands
from each tenant il SIN. From the fig
ures Of the past five years, and from cur
rent information as to the immediate flu
ture, Il is believed New York reached the
top of it's flat-bullding wave In 1906. The
construction of fats gained steadily in vol
ume during the decade preceding 1906. 1t
receded sharply in 1906. Brooklyn's rise
as a 1at-house center has been steady and
rapid. IL has met with no reaction. The
growth has been due TO the increasing ac-
feasibility of Brooklyn land to persons
who have business in Manhattan. Brook
Ign built $50 fiat houses for 2,7s4 tenants in
1902. In 1903 the construction was 657 fiat
houses for 1893 tenants. The next year
produced 1,4S3 houses for 34,0O2 tenants.
During 1906 2,S64 fiat houses were built for
