The Washington herald., 1907-10-26

There were indications at the White
House yesterday that President Roose-
welt is beginning to abandon the reticence
about his view OF the third term move
ment and is willing to relieve the anxiety
Of the friends Of acknowledged candi-
dates.
one Of the indications was that after
Senator Long, Of Kansas, had a talk with
Mr.. Roosevelt he announced that his
State was for Taft. and would send a
solid delegation for him TO the next ma
uonaI convention. Another indication was
that Representative Kennedy, of Ohio,
who was sent TO Congress from the old
Mckinley district, came out Of the PresI-
dents Office shouting for Taft and pro-
claiming that the country Was wild for
him.
The significance Of Senator Longs state
ment is found in two circumstances, Gov.
Hoch. Of Senator Longs State. made the
statement here that Kansas was for
President Roosevelt Tor a third time, and
would run rough-shod over any obstacle
put in the way of his nomination.
There was a little exaggeration probably
about the governors enthusiastic an
nOuncement, but Mr.. Long was aware
that it had some grains Of truth in it.
Mr.. Long is a discreet politician, and il
is apparent that he would not have SO
emphaticany repudiated the statement
of GOV. Hoch if he had not been conf
dent that Mr., Roosevelt would not ac-
cept another nomination.
A Significant Statement.
The other circumstance which make.
Mr.. Longs statement significant involve.
a little ancient history. At one time las
year prominent Kansas Republicans wer
extremely anxious TO fnd out how MI
Long stood with reference TO the mex
Republican Presidential nomination, an,
they indicated strongly to Mr. Long tina
an answer at the earliest possible dat
would be gratefully received, and tina
upon the character of the answer nigh
depend Mr. Longs chances for fUrthe
political preferment
Mr.. Long let no grass grow under hi
feet in getting to the White House at tha
time, and when he came away there wa
no doubt in his mind as To whether h
was for Roosevelt or Taft, the two favor
ties among the Republicans of his Stat
for the next Presidential nomination

The Kansas Senator was for Taft, an
has been for Taft ever since. and whe
he left the White House yesterday b
was for Taft more than ever in spite O
his knowledge Of what Gov. Hoch ha
said the day before.
President Roosevelt and Senator Lon
are great friends In the fight in tn
Senate over the TailWay-Tate bill, Nj
Long was one of the Presidents mos

by the administration as a consistent an

Berlin, Oct 25.-When the trial of
Count Kuno Won Moltke's defamation
suit against Macmillan Harden was re-
sumed to-day, Prince Won Euienburg,
whose medical certificate of Illness the
court refused yesterday 10 accept, did
not appear, counsel explaining that the
princes physician had refused to allow
him TO leave his bed
Herr Bernstein, Harden's counsel, ind--
mated that the princes absence would
not avail him. Prince Won Bismarck,
said Bernstein. had assailed him in the
most severe language, and Bismarck knew
his man.
Counsel on the other side remarked.
The prince is IN such a state that "a
stroke may kin him at any moment
Will you take this responsibility. know
ing that he may fan dead?'
The court decided that the unnamed
army officer who testified yesterday TO his
belief In Eulenburg's participation In or
gies in Count Lynars house should, ac-
companied by police, proceed unohicially
TO Eulenburg's house and see whether he
could identify him as having been pres
ent at the orgies.
The name Of the officer who was sent
10 identify Won Eulenburg IS Vollart
He returned from Eulenburg's house and
stated 10 the court that Eulenburg had
refused 10 admit him. Bernstein. Har-
denis counsel asked Won M1ltke if he
would dare 20 deny that his resignation

A Question of Reason.

I think there is as much reason for
the Treasury to consider the sacrifice Of
actual products which are real wealth, as
there IS to consider the sacrifice of values
IN securities held in Wall street. Eco
nomicaIly, the entire country will suffer
much more from the sale of the years
crop of cotton, tobacco, wheat, and corn
in the foreign market at price far below
its value, the country being deprived of
the wealth represented by the difference
between the selling price OF these products
and their actual value, than it could be
I'm any possibility by the transfer Of seCu-
rites from the hands of one set Of stock
gamblers TO those of another at prices
which would represent a loss TO those
forced to sell"
Thirty million dollars are deposited in
New York In one day to prevent forced
sale of stocks. this being added to de-
posits Of $17l, 600, 600 already held by the
banks I think It extremely unfortunate
that the cash balance in the Treasury is
so depleted that as against this vast de-
posit made for the express purpose Of re-
lieving the stock market, the department
cannot distribute among the repositories
in the South the relatively small sum Of
Sl0G00O0O. so as to save the cotton pro
a
which would transfer the profits from
this country 10 the foreign market.
1.-THE products Of the farm make up a
great volume of the actual wealth pro-
duced by tae country through the in-
dustry of the season. sacrifice Of
these products below their value brings
about a loss which must fall upon the
whole people. striking primarily and I'M
uediafalv fbe actual producers of the
country. About 100000 bales OF cotton
will be sold abroad this year. for which
foreign money will be paid to our peO-
Pile To force the sale of this cotton at
time when the price is low. and in a
manner TO bring it lower, is 10 deprive
our people Of the difference in money be-
tween the low price which they are COM
! PEELED to accept and the price which
! they ought to and would get If the
product were not forced upon the mar

million dollars of this was deposited in
one day in New York to relieve the
money market from a gamblers panic in

positories in New York, so that it might
