N. Haskell, of Oklahoma, treasurer of
the Democratic national committee. ar
rived at Democratic headquarters and
began systemizing his efforts to secure
campaign funds. He said money was
coming in in fair amounts and there
would be enough to finance a good cam
paign.
Governor John A. johnson, of Min
nesota, called at Democratic national
headquarters today and informed
Chairman Mack that. as he had been
made the party's standard bearer in
Minnesota, he would have to devote
most of his time during the campaign
to work in that state. He would how
ever, do everything possible for the ma
tional ticket as far as loyalty to his
Minnesota colleagues would permit.
Governor johnson has just completed
a series of Chautauqua lectures in
Kansas, Missouri, Indiana and Illinois.
He said the signs for Democratic sue
cess in the fall were roseate.
Other callers were Senator Culberson
of Texas. chairman of the advisory
committee; Governor Malcolm Patter-
son, Of Tennessee, and w. K. G. Con-
rad, Of Montana, whose candidacy for
the Democratic vice presidential nomi-
nation was a preconvention feature Of
the campaign. Governor Patterson
characterized talk of any southern
state swinging into the Republican col
umn as ridiculous"

R0OSEvELT'S 0. K


Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 21.-Because Of
the attacks made upon the Aldrich cur
rency bill by Senator LaFollette to-
gether with his reading of his roll calls
on that bill Senator e. ]. Burkett to-
day gave out two letters from Presi-
dent Roosevelt commencing the AID
rich law unqualifedly. Senator Bur-
kett received the following letter from
the president:
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. Is, 1908
My Dear Senator-I heartily ap-
prove Of the currency measure other
wise I would not have signed the bill.
In my judgment it would have been
most unwise not 20 have passed It. 1
enclose you a copy of a letter had al
ready written on the subject.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Following is copy Of the letter re-
ferred to by the president:
Oyster Bay: N: x: July. %. 1903
letter Of the 10th. My motives were
simply those I have in signing any
good bill. Beyond all question the
emergency currency bill was a good
measure and I have not heard It at
tackled with any arguments which
thought even deserved an answer. 1t
is avowedly only an emergency meas
ure; 1t lasts merely the length Of time
to permit us to develop a permanent
plan but during that time IL makes
provision for the needed elasticity In
the currency and it does 1t in an ut
terly unobjectionable manner. It does
not accomplish very much, but it does
accomplish something and there il
literally not one objection that has
been raised to it, worthy of paying the
slightest heed to, while, Furthermore. It
makes the admirable provision for q
commission to make a report on the
permanent currency plan.
Sincerely yours.

EDISON WITHIN LIMITS.
Increase Not Above Rates Provided in
the Ordinance.

The franchise of the Topeka Edison
company provides that the maximum
rates that may be charged for lighting
shall not be in excess of IL cents per
thousand watt hours for residence
lighting and for commercial lighting
not to exceed 10 cents per thousand
watt hours for the first nour and six
cents per thousand watt hours for
current used in excess of the first
hours consumption.
For power, the maximum specified
is six cents except for elevators, where
it is eight cents.
When another company threatened
to enter the field the Edison company
voluntarily put into effect a rate of 9
cents for residence lighting. cents for
commercial and cents for elevator
power.
The increase announced therefore in
commercial lighting is within the pow
er Of the Edison COMPANY since it is
not in excess Of the maximum rate of
10 cents, the increase being up to 9
cents. With the danger of a compet-
ing company no longer threatening the
Edison company does not feel bound
to maintain its verbal promise of the
old rate.

PITTSBURG SEEKS HELP.
Asks Tax Commission to Let Them
Make Up Lost Saloon License.

J. T. Moore. Mulberry" Kelly and
some of the city officials of Pittsburg
were before the state tax commission
this morning asking for permission to
increase their tax levy above the limit
so that they can raise $4,000
additional to take the place of the
revenue which they have lost from
the closing of the Pittsburg saloons.
Perhaps the Pittsburg saloons have
not closed, but the scheme which the
city had of getting revenue out of
them has been shut off by Attorney
General Jackson, and this, 1t Is
claimed, leaves the city finances of
Pittsburg in very sad condition.
The tax commissioners have not yet
given a decision in the case but it is
not very hopeful proposition to
make such request of the tax COM
mission.

SHORT WEIGHT TOMATOES.
Eight Thousand Cans Ordered Seized
by Food Inspector.

Eight thousand one hundred and
sixty cans of tomatoes in the posses
sion of J. J. Pierson, a merchant at
Parsons, Kansas, are declared by gov
eminent authorities to be one-haif
pound short of weight each and this
afternoon a United States deputy mar
shall left Fort Scott, Kansas, armed
with writs to seize the goods under d
claim of a violation of the pure 1000
law.
An action charging a violation OF the
law was filed with the clerk OF the
United States circuit court at Fort
Scott this morning and at o'clock this
afternoon the deputy United States
marshal left for Parsons from Fort
Scott to make the seizure and order the
condemnation of the goods.
This second act of seizure is the re-
suit of investigations on the part OF
federal inspector.
The tomatoes were canned by the
Dixon Canning company Of Dixon,
Missouri, and were branded on the
case as containing two dozen. >
pound. Extra Tomatoes. Packed by
Dixon Canning company OF DIXON
Missouri The allegation is that each
can weighs but from 3S1z to 1914
ounces which would be close to one
half pound short weight each. three
pounds being As ounces.
The shipment was put up in $40 cases
of "a cans each and were shipped out
to Pierson on the 18th of November.
1907, but 1t is stated that the entire
shipment still remains in the posses
sion of Pierson. AS in the case OF the
carload Of beer the charge is one OF
misbranding. The clerk of the United
States circuit court at Fort Scott
stated to the State Journal over the
long distance telephone that the quest
of the marshal might be in vain for the
Of "a CaiZI1ra Cnt in advance
of the filing of the action in court and
the Parsons merchant may have taken
advantage of the news and got rid OF
his goods.

ness. He has a wonderful popular hold
on the members of congress and of the

ington who continually appeal to him
for advice and suggestion.
The national committee has many
calls for him. Kansas is fortunate to
get two dates from him.
