 the recent election.
 "The President left New York a
 changed individual His appearance
 and his bearing were that of a sobered.
 reflective man. There was in his face n
 look of deep responsibility, of grave
 thoughtfulness, not seen before by those
 who know him.
 Prom now on there will be q different
 plan of campaign conducted from the | White House. The President is firm in
 his declarations that there is to be no change in his policy of antagonism to- ward predatory wealth and illegal cor porations, but his methods are to be modified, his attacks made more dis criminate, and his warfare less destruct- | i've.
 "The events of the past two weeks in the financial world have had remarkable effect upon Mir. Roosevelt. The crash of banks, the cry of strangled business. the frightened hoarding of money have deeply impressed him. The hours of his journey yesterday were given more to sober reflection than to animated con- versation. If final argument were need ed to complete the remarkable change in the nations chief executive, it was furnished by the sight of Manhattan's besieged sky scrapers of finance as his tugboat passed by the foot of Wall street and skirted the Battery"
 That strong element in the country see through the movement in course of operation, and will support the President in his deter imitation to control the irrespon- sible power of unbridled rapacity, and do not believe that he should concede to the influences that have made the trouble, goes without say ing.

The railroads, etc. are all united and the banks back them LID. This financial furry Is the answer to the judgment of Landis on the verdict of the jury in the Standard Oil Co., case. And notice Is served directly on the President to modify his plans and say SO in his forthcoming message to Congress. It is ! direct threat Don't vol dare send such a message as your policy foreshad- )ws yon intend to do If you do we will ruin the business of the country" By his act of the financial interests in payment the conspirators nave delivered themselves into Roose- felts hands. The nationals banks are he creatures of the government and lnder It's supervision and in it's power H The comptroller of the currency can ake possession of every one Of them. II Roosevelt IS the man the people be- ieve, he ought to send for the head bankers and demand of them why they nave laid down. If they say that they Ire unable to pay their depostors then put the comptroller in charge of every me of them. If they say that they are olvent tell them to pay up within 24 lours Let Judge Landis loose at them. 1e will bring the Chicago banks before lim like he did the Standard Oil Go. il Jet him have chance to run these proud banks.
 The same journal, in another lrticle, pointedly gives an inkling 'f the real, underlying cause for lll the trouble. And it is very 5ood reading. Here 1t is:
