The points cited in the New York Tribune, in support of the assertion that friends of Ex-President Roosevelt kare laboring to secure for him the Re publican Presidential nomination in 1912. are the Ballinger-Pinchot contro- versy. in which the acts of Secretaries Knox and Bailinger are severely criti- cized: the recall of Charles R. Crane. Minister to China. at the alleged in- stance Of coterie of New York bank CTS headed by J. P. Morgan; a com ing attack upon the Postmaster Gen eraI: and the alleged Pro-Roosevelt organization of the National Conserva- ton Association. Of whose executive committee James R. Garfield, Secre- tary of the Interior under Roosevelt. is chairman The abandonment of more or less of the Roosevelt policies by President Taft. might also be cited es a reason for the Ex-President's friends, alleged movement to secure the 1912 nomination for him.
 If it be true that such a movement is ir. active progress and that an at tempt to discredit the Taft Cabinet by attacking three Of it's members is be- ing uade. President Taft's welI-known love of ease. his optimism and his dis inclination to cross bridges before reaching them may give the Roose- veltians an amplitude of time and op- portunity to work out their plans
 It is undoubtedly a fact that very many Republicans are strong support CTS of the Ex-President. and there is a growing suspicion that the Republican ''insurgents'' of the Middle West may appear for Jim in 1912
 Vice President Sherman expresses disbelief of the Tribune's report. but as he would not be consulted by the RooseveItians. his statement is a neg 1ieible quantity.

It is easily possible for capitalists to practically "corner" these products and, by withholding them wholly or partly from the mar ket. to advance prices and score heavy profits. We are inclined to believe that capitalists are now working this scheme and are materially aided by the protracted drouth which has cut down the Eastern-produced supplies. Whether or not a remedy is possible. or whether Congress could be induced to apply a preventive to gambling ope- nations in necessariesi of life if one could be devised. we do not know.
