Roosevelt For a Second Term.

From present indications it will be
almost a miracle if the President Is
able to prevent the next convention
from nominating him for a second
Term. Indeed he ought to bow to the
vii of the people, regardless of his
own wishes and desires. He has inst
begun the work to reestablish equity
and Justice. His enemies and some
false friends have been trying to get
ann to repeat his election night state
ment. They so fear second term of
Roosevelt that they would have the
President to do that which would ap-
pear cheap and undignifed and which
might prove to be unpatriotic in its
effect.
But the country is to be congratu-
lated that there is in the White House
man not only with marked ability,
courage, patriotism and force, but also
man with remarkable wisdom and
foresight to descern and to check the
schemes of the enemy.

Ne Claims in ANY Direction That
Market Was Being Manipulated
Heavy Realizing Sales Pushed
Price Backwards Somewhat Fol
lowing Opening. But as clsse Mark
ct Was Strong With Demand I'm
satisfied.

Chicago, Speeiai.-In most sensa-
tional opening in the history of the
Chicago board Of trade, wheat shot
past the dollar mark. Heavy realiz-
ing sales pushed the price backwards
somewhat, but at the close the market
was strong and, according to the ma
jorlty Of spectators on the board, the
demand upon which the late advance
has been made is still unsatisfied The
net advance for wheat was four cents
for the July and September options
and Is for the December option.
From the low point of Monday of last
week July wheat had advanced 13 II
September has gone up ID "a. In
the December option the high point
was 16 3-4 above the low price of
Monday.
1t was a certainty that a strong
bulge would take place in the wheat
market at the opening. As soon as
the gong sounded there was terrific
roar of voices, all anxious to buy and
nobody offering to SELL The trade
was too big and to broad to be fol-
lowed with any uncertainty, and
brokers filled orders frequently sew
eral cents away from the point at
which they had hoped to buy.
The July option opened between 90
and "a, which was l IA to 2 3-s
cents higher than the close of Satur-
day. September opened at 9j to 90
| which was up .3S to 3-S above
the closing price of last week. De-
| cember showed a wider range than
any of the other options, as the
opening for December ran at all fig
| ures between So 1-2 and 103.
The rush Of buying orders seemed
! to come from almost every town il
| the United States which was situated
along telegraph wire. The profes-
slonal traders were Of the opinion
that the opening was a little toe
vigorous and that the chance to seize
profits on lines of long wheat carried
over Sunday was tempting. As soon

on the market in realizing sales. As
a result, the advance for time was
checked. The buying orders, however
still poured in and the market agair
scared.
There were no claims in any direc.
tion that the market was being mani.
pulated. The general opinion seem
ed to be that the advance was based
| upon natural conditions which arc
certain to curtail in large degree the
| worlds coming wheat crop. Advices
from all parts of the West and North
west confirmed previous reports Of
damage by weather and by insects
In addition, kilograms from the Can
adian Northwest declared that there
was still no possibility Of seeding IL
that district, and that every day OF
delay meant the loss of thousands o:
acres that might otherwise have been
sown TO wheat. Such prominent
traders as William H. Bartlett and
James A. Patten declared that condi-
tions at home and abroad warranted
the sensational advance in prices. de-

Since the day they had talked on the
terrace he had seen Eve only thrice
and always in the presence of others.
Since the night Of his first coming she
had not invaded his domain. and he
wondered what this new departure
might mean.
His thouAlt Of her had been less
vivid in the last few days. for, though
still using steady discretion. he had
been drawn gradually nearer the fas-
chatting whirlpool of new interests
and new work. Shut his eyes as he
might. there was no denying that this
moment, so personally vital to him,
was politically vital to the whole coun-
try and that by a curious coincidence
Ghilcote's position we'll nigh forced
him to take an active interest in the
situation. Again and again the sug-
gestion had arisen that should the
smoldering fire in Persia break into a
fame Chilcote's commercial interests
would facilitate would practically
compel-his standing in in the cam
paign against the government.
The little incident Of the tea table,

raj laws until his w personality had
begun to color the days work.
AS this knowledge came he wondered
quickly if it held a solution of the
present little comedy; if Eve had seen

that Chilcote was showing a grasp of
things that he had not exhibited tol
