Grain inspection.
During the past two years there has
been but few complaints, so far as
am advised, of discrimination in the
state inspection Of wheat. Certain
millers of this and adjacent states
about a year ago asked for change
in the grades, but both the railroad
and warehouse commission and the
grain inspection board opposed such
change and concurred in their views.
There is some discussion in this
state favoring national grain inspec-
ton; and, while many believe that
national inspection is impracticable,
the state should maintain its state in
spection at the highest possible stand
ard Of efficiency. To this end urge

insurance.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture our insurance laws were modi-
fed and readjusted to such an extent
that we have now. in my Judgment.
one of the best insurance codes of any
state in the Union. Under these laws
the department of insurance has been
able to accomplish much in the way Of
regulating and supervising the insnr.
ance business of the state in the in
terests of the insured, as we'll as to
the ultimate interest OF the insurance
companies themselves. The insurance
business is upon sounGer basis than
at any other previous time in the his
tory of our state and the people who
invest in insurance can now feel as
sured that their investment is a safe
one. There are few recommended
tons to be made to the legislature at
this time. There are some, however,
which occur to me. In order to meet
requirements of the insuring public
certain forms Of insurance not now
authorized by our law should be per-
mitted, as, by example, automobile
insurance and fywheel insurance.
We supervise carefully fire insur.
ance companies doing business in this
state, but many of these companies
reinsure part Of their liability in other
companies not authorized to do bust
ness here. This reinsurance in un-
authorized companies should, ] be-
Heve, be prohibited.

middle age. Yet he calls his African trip
"a vacation.
From Naples Roosevelt will go by a
German-African steamer through the Suez
canal to Mambasa on the east African
coast
From Mambasa he will be carried to
the Noirobi, 400 miles inland, by one of
the most interesting railroads in the

penetrate through swamps and deserts
and wilderness and across tropical lakes
and rivers.

have a good time and am sure the ex-
petition will be a success"
On the trip from Oyster Bay dozens
Of men and women stopped and shook
Mr.. ROosevelt's hand, wishing him fare
well and a successful trip. At Long Is
land city there were only a few who re-
cognized Mr.. Roosevelt and his son in
their army great coats. At a brisk walk
they boarded the ferry boat Hampstead
and walked through the women's cabin
to the forward deck.
There they were surrounded by crowd
of Long Island commuters some of whom
came forward and extended their fare
wells AS the Hampstead entered her slip
the captain Of the boat from the pilot
house called for three cheers for Teddy
Roosevelt"
Instantly there was a spontaneous burst
of cheers which lasted several minutes.
When they subsidized tire steam whistle OF
the Hampstead screeched out the marine
salute of three long blasts.
The ex-president's trip under the river
was source of unmistakable pleasure to
him. 1t was his first trip by the tunnel
route and he was alert every minute Of
the journey. On the arrival of the train
at the Hoboken terminal the party went
Immediately to the street, the appearance
of the ex-president at the head of the
stairway being the signal for a tremen-
dous cheer from crowd Of about 5000
persons on the adjacent thoroughfares.
A crowd of 400 or 500 persons which had
gathered in the street cheered Mr.. Roose-
welt as he left his office to visit the
steamer Hamburg in Hoboken for the in
spection of the apartments which he is
to occupy on that steamer. He appeared
to be satisfied with the arrangements and
after looking over the baggage which had
arrived at the pier, returned to New
York.
One of the last things Mr.. Roosevelt
did beGre the steamer left the docks,
was to send a telegram to President
Taft acknowledging the receipt of sew
eral fine pictures and message of good
cheer. The telegram read:
Parting thanks, love and sincerity.

with their signatures attached, adorns
the reception hall Just outside the suite.
The gymnasium. situated in a large deck
house built on the upper deck aft, and
equipped with all the latest exercising
machines, is the pride of Mr.. Roosevelt S
eye. Great he said when he inspected
IL yesterday. Besides the saddle ma
chimes, on which one can get the exact
motion of the horse and camel at all
regulated speeds, there are all kinds OF
vibrators and appliances for reducing the
waist, strengthening the ankles, and
weight lifts and pulleys to supply action
