Springfield CMass.) Republican dnd.).
Those predatory interests which were
looking to the presidents jamestown ex-
position speech for some modification Of his
attitude toward them will be disappointed
In the utterance OF yesterday. The address
is properly for the most part given to the
wonderful chapter in history having its
beginnings in the event now celebrated,
and the lessons drawn therefrom for prac-
teal application today are soundly con-
ceived and clearly and strongly expressed.
And these lessons admit of no change in
the position taken by Mr.. Roosevelt respect
ing the abuses of corporate and individual
wealth. He intimates very clearly that
he has no purpose to carry his restrictive
and punitive measures to the point of try
ing to undo past wrongs whose rectiica-
ton would injure the innocent rather than
punish the guilty; but It is just as evident
that the president does not Intend to be
moved a particle from the essential part
Of his railroad and corporation policy by
the uproar that is being raised to Brighten
him away. His platform appears to be
broadly and substantially stated in the fol-
lowing:
I'VE show ourselves the truest friends Of
property when we make it evident that we
will not tolerate the abuses of property.
We are steadily bent on preserving the in
stitutIon Of private property; we combat
every tendency toward reducing the people
TO economic servitude; and we care not
whether the tendency is due to a sinister
agitation directed against all property, or
whether II is due to the actions of those
members Of the predatory classes whose
anti-social power is UNNECESSARILY increased
because of the very fact that they possess
wealth"
On such ground the great mass Of the
people will stand solidly with the president,
and 1t is because Mr.. Roosevelt has been
seeking earnestly to give some practical
force to his preaching in this particular
that his strength with the people has be-
come as remarkable as 1t has.
II speculative railroad management and
predatory wealth generally can find any
comfort in this address they are welcome
TO it. But II is evident that their efforts
to browbeat the president and drive him
from his position have so far met with
substantial failure. There is promise in
this that their day of prosperity and in
dustrial dominion is beginning TO pass.

HoBsON IN 1 NEW ROLE.

Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson
of Alabama, who has been the target
of much ridicule since his personally
conducted kissing tour of the country,
seems to have finally hit upon a plan
that promises to bring him fame in
stead of notoriety. Captain Hobson
was elected to congress after a hot
campaign against John Bankhead, who
had served in congress for many years,
the captain using a larger navy as a
battle cry. He convinced the voters
of his district that unless the United
States should spend a few billions a
year in battleships, the fleets of for
eign powers might steam up the Tom
bigbee, Coosa, ChRtahooche, Chocta-
watchee, Tallapoosa, COnecuh and Ca
hawba rivers any dark night and de-
vastate the fertile fields and flourish
ing towns of Alabama. The talk took
and Captain HObsOn, after the close of
the campaign, began urging congress
the folks at Washington did not scare
so easily and he was faced by the pros
pect of returning to his constituents
with a confession that he had exagger-
ated the dangers of threatened invas-
ion by foreign foes.
In this emergency, he has adopted
a new tack, one that reflects credit
upon him and promises much for the
development OF his district. Formal
announcOnent has been made by Cap
tain Hobson of his intention to make
an educational tour of his district to
instruct the people how to profit by
the work being done and the investiga-
lions being carried on by the various
departments of the national govern
ment He thus explains his plan:
viii have with me the best experts in
America on soils bearing on agriculture
on rural deliveries and on good roads
These experts will come from the once
OF public roads, from the bureau OF soils
and the experts on rural deliveries from
the Postofice department Among other
matters are public schools and / expect
/ 10 inauEurate plans by which needed
school houses can be secured throughout
my district.
Credit must be given Captain Hobson
for being the first congressman to make
| practical and systematic use Of the In
formation secured by the government
experts. Scientists of the Agricultural
department, the geological survey, the
reclamation service and the bureau OF
forestry have for years been busy with

We positively know that IN the closing
hours OF the campaign a midnight meeting
was called by Victor Rosewater In Omaha.
az which meeting a deal was. entered into
between Rosewater and other personal
representatives Of Governor sheldon for
the delivery Of the vote which Is con-
trolled by the Omaha brewers and we also
know that the vote was delivered We
know also that after Victor Rosewater
and other members Of the republican state
committee made that midnight deal with
the brewers the entire influence Of the
Omaha brewers and outside brewers hav-
ing interests in Omaha was given TO
Sheldon. who also had the support Of the
anti-saloon league. 1t was a piece Of smart
political work which young Rosewater per
formed at that midnight meeting Edgar
Howard in Columbus Telegram.
The trouble with my good friend,
Edgar Howard, is that he knows so
much that isn't so.
While l dislike exceedingly to de-
prive myself of full credit for "a piece
of smart political work." l regret ex-
ceedingly to be compelled to say that
l never heard of this midnight meet
ing before.
If my friend Howard positively
knows so much about It, perhaps he
will enlighten me.
Where was It held?
When was 1t held?
Who was there?
If my friend Howard positively
knows SO much about it, he will surely
answer these questions in detail

WHEAT PROSPECTS AND PRICES

Advance reports indicate that the
crop bulletin of the government, to be
issued early in May, will make it
necessary to scale down previous esti-
mates of the prospective wheat yield
of the country Current reports con-
corning the condition of the winter
wheat crop are not as roseate as the
returns in April indicated, the con-
tinued cool weather having retarded
the growth of the plant, although it is
yet too early to ascertain what perma-
nent damage has been wrought. How
ever, the crop raised, whether larger
or smaller than the record breaking
production of last year, is practically
certain to command a higher price.
This is assured by foreign crop advices.
According to reports from abroad,
the wheat outlook in the United King
dom, France and Germany is far from
promising. Unfavorable weather has
stunted the growth of the plant and
the estimated yield in those countries
is fully 80 per cent less than the nor
NAL. The winter wheat crop has de-
Perforated about 20 per cent in Austria
Hungary, and is almost a total failure
in Roumania. Russia, Americas great
est competitor in wheat in the Euro
pean markets, reports a most unprom-
Using outlook. Cold weather and high
winds have greatly damaged the crop
in the wheat belt in southwestern Rus
STA, and in other sections the wheat
crop has been neglected on account of
political troubles among the peasantry.
Russia is now importing American
wheat for it's own use, instead of being
in the market as a seller, as is usually
the case.
These conditions have already caused
higher price level for wheat in Euro
pean markets and indicate a continued
European demand for American wheat
both for the reserve now on hand and
for the surplus of the coming harvest.
