ROOSEVELT RESPONSIBLE.

President Roosevelt has sent a
message to the senate in which he
acknowledges having given the Steel
Trust permission to absorb the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Company. and
assumes all responsibility for the
deal The message was in response
to a resolution introduced by Senator
Cu1berson calling on the attorney
general to state whether he had Sc
cured an injunction against the Steel
Corporation on account OF its acqui-
sition of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron property.
The president opens his message
by saying; AS to the transaction in
question, I was personally cognfzant
of and responsible for its every de-
tail" And then goes on to quote a
letter which he addressed to the at
torney general on the subject. In
this letter, which is dated November
4th, 1907, the president informs the
attorney general of a conference that
he had just had with Judge E. H
Gary and Mr.. H C.. Frick, in which
they declared certain prominent
business firm in New York which
owned considerable stock in the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Company was
about TO fail, and the Steel Trust
had been strongly urged to take over
the stock. as this was the only means
by which the failure could be pre-
vented.
The letter declares that Judge
Gary and Mr.. Frick assured the pres
ident that as a mere business trans
acion they did not wish to purchase
the stock, that under ordinary con
ditions they would not think of MAX
ing the purchase, because but little
benefit could come of the transaction,
and they were aware of the fact that
the purchase would be used an a
handle for attack upon them, on the
ground that they were striving to Sc
cure a monopoly of the business and
strife competition They claimed,
however, that to throw the affairs
of a big concern like the Tennessee
Coal & Iron Company into liquida-
tion would result in a panic, and in
order to avert this panic they were
willing to purchase the stock in
question
Judge Gary and Mr. Frick stated, |
SO the letter declares, that notwith-
standing the fact that they thought |
conditions demanded the
purchase of the stock they would not
consummate the deal if the president I
thought it would be wrong, and Mr. I
Roosevelt answered that while he T
could not advise them to take the /
action proposed he felt it his public
duty not to fnterpose any objection

Republican Platform.

We, the nominees Of the republican
caucus to fill the various city offices,
make the following declarations OF
principles:
We believe The vigorous administra-
ton of city affairs which has charater-
lied the term of the present
has been eminently satisfactory to local
commercial interests, and that a con
tinuance of the policies that have been
inaugurated is essential to the welfare OF
the community.
We, in common with all good citizens,
believe in the enforcement of statutory
and municipal regulations for the
government of the city's institutions
and its inhabitants, and in the mainte-
nance of good order and decent con-
duct within the corporate limits.
We believe those VINO are entrusted
with the control of public affairs are
the servants of the people by whom
they a e elected, and that, as such,
UneN SnOulu, III 50 ldl 40 So IVA
their w fulfill the-will of their con
stituentS.
We believe. the policy Of the present
executive in requiring the city treasurer
to pay interest On daily balances o
municipal funds should be continued.
We believe sentiment in this commun
ity favors the issuance of licenses undel
the Slocumb law. and that the verde
of the majority CT oar citizens in thi'
regard, as in all others, should be re
spected by those whom the peopi
| choose to represent them.
We believe if the McCook Waite
Works Company shall persist IN vlolat
; ing the ordinances of the city of NC
Cook, and shall refuse to supply waite
at rates that are just and reasonable
the consumers, the city should at one
, enter upon the installation Of a mnntc
pal plant, but that the peoples none
should not be recklessly expended an
