The question al issue between Governor
Haskell and Attorney General West was
not as to the rights of the Praire Oil and
Gas company, or whether that company
was violating the law, but whether West
could proceed without authority from the
governor The real gist of the matter was
never reached and was not intended to
be reached or decided, so far as the gov
ernor was concerned When lie courts
decided that Haskell was the one to in
itiate proceedings it developed that he did
not intend to take action. nor TO allow
West TO do so The people at large were
vastly more interested in seeing the law
enforced than in knowing that West could
not proceed without the sanction of the
governor Now that the atmosphere is
clear, let Governor Haskell come out Of
the hole into which the exigences Of
strenuous politics have driven him and
exercise the functions Of his Office by en-
forcing the law Or allowing Attorney Cen
eral West 70 do SO.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

The Globe never has been especially

convention, for example, when he ordered
the unseated Pennsylvania delegation to

much like a Joe Folk gallery play. lie
seems to have a genius for getting mixed
up in squabbles. He is kind of stormy

His action in the case Of the Prairie Oil
and Gas Company to which Roosevelt
takes exception, was the only common
sense course to pursue.
In the matters at issue directly between
Roosevelt and Haskell, Haskell has fairly
eaten Roosevelt up, No other conclusion
is possible from the attack of the plaintiff

Roosevelt however, has gone deep into

ing factor in overturning possibly top heavy speculative position and bringing on the violent reaction with which rapid speculative advances usually culminate. Two incidents were of special influence in causing the reaetionary movements which characterized the speculation. On Monday there was a heavy unloading of securities by the more timid on account of the decision by a United States court favoring the governments contention of the unlawfulness of the formation of the American Tobacco company. The quick passing of the influence of this episode was due to the conviction that the late elections showed a revulsion of public sentiment in the country from the ex- treme hostility toward corporations and determination to conserve the interests of capital for it's encouragement in re- newed employment and outlay
 The second incident by resisting which the market demonstrated it's underlying strength was the failure of the very pos itve rumors that the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific dividends were to be increased The furious speculation en- gendered in these stocks by these false rumors and the violent reaction in them which followed on the disproval of the rumors had it's momentary unsettling eff feet on the whole market, but it's recuper- ative power was again strik,ngly demon strated.
 Supplies of money are abundant to af- ford means of sustaining the specula- tion The quieting of foreign politics has relieved the securities market from one source of pressure and the stiffening of the domestic money markets has carried down the foreign exchange rates.

"CHICKENS COME
 HOME TO BOOST"

Berlin November 15.-Emperor William is still at Donaueschngen as the hunting guest of Prince Won Fuerstenberg. He is due at Kiel Monday to swear in a num- Der of naval recruits. Chancellor yon Buelow will leave Berlin tomorrow and will be at Kiel to receive the Emperor. The audience between the chancellor and his majsty, upon which depends the fu- ture course of events, has been arranged for the afternoon. While the agreement of the chancellor with the position of the reichstag and the federated governments is now clearly known, the Emperor's at- titude is greatly in doubt, and subject of diversified predictions. The Grenzboten, monthly political review. published under the supervision of the foreign of flee, has taken up the defense of Chan cellor Von Buelow and in the current is sue says:
 "Calm consideration of German interests does not permit us to judge the oversight of trusted statesman as we would sim liar action by a clerk, whose error in such a case would be unpardonable. It "outo JIG th9 Hei9ne ol opsdipity to eA- peet the chancellor personally to examine and control every manuscript that came to his hands
 'aThe misfortune is that such conver- sation ever occurred.''
 The Cologne zeitung says that from the meeting of the Emperor and the chancel- Tor it will be learned how far the Elm peror agrees with von Buelows view point or whether any agreement has been reached.

CHINESE MOURN
 EMPEROR'S DEATH

Cincinnati, November 14.-Cincinnati Chinese are mourning the death of the Emperor of the celestial Kingdom. The white slips of paper, with the Chinese characters indicating individual regrets and expressing grief over the death of the ruler, are being passed from one to the other. "Chnamen at home or abroad know very little about the imperial fam ily," said Moy Ling, a Vine street res taurant man, today. However, all know that they have a ruler and are loyal to him and revere his memory, even though to most Chinamen he is a figure of speech.
 Tt is probable that the Chinamen in Cincinnati will adopt some sort of reso- lutions and send them to the Chinese min ister, hoping that through him they will be brought to the official notice of the Pekin governmentp
