GREAT REVIVAL NOTED
IN THE ROOSEVELT TALK
DESPITE Tafts Spectacular Swing Around, the
East Cannot Forget About Teddy,
the Great.

viii be difficult indeed for him to keep
| out Of politics.
Several men have received letters
| from Mr.. Roosevelt since he departed
| from New York. He has written to has
oldtfme cronies, including few favor
ed cn-pushers. who lived much in the
vicinity of the White House during his
administration and who were always
eager to spring to the championship of
ideas he chose to suggest. These IN
cluded a number Of magazine writers,
very few newspaper correspondents
and several hack writers. Their OPP
portunities have waned since Mr.. Roos-
evelt retired to private life, but they
are exceedingly busy advancing the pro
Roosevelt agitation. They promise to
keep it up during the winter, for 1t
has now made sufficient leadway to be
reasonably sure of life for some months
more. Whether it win grow and be
formidable force by the time the ex-
President returns to New York year
from now will be determined by the
events of the coming session of con-
gress and of the Washington winter.
It is said ON good authority that Mr..
Roosevelt has written not a line to
President Taft since March last. 1t
is claimed that letters have been writ
ten by the ex-President to some of his
newspaper and magazine friends de-
claring that he does not approve of the
Taft administration. That, however,
is to be doubted.
Representative Lueian n. Lit
tauer, of New York, who used to be an
intimate friend Of Roosevelt but fell
out with him later, went to the White
House early in March to bid him
formal goodbye. They talked for two
hours and in the course of their con-
versation Mr. Littauer says the retir-
ing President spoke to him in this
wise:

Mai Special to the Advertiser

(Mail Special to the AdvertIser.)
Somebow or other there has been a
great revival of Roosevelt talk during
the last ten days. 1t seems to be the
feature Of politics for the time being.
While the Ballinger-Pinchot contro-
versy was in full swing, there were
outeroppings of Roosevelt comment and
comment on what Roosevelt would do
when he returned to his native land.
Then the Ballinger-Pinchot wrangle APP
peared TO be dying out. President Taft
was discussing Roosevelt policies in the
West, pedging himself anew to follow
the Roosevelt ideas Of administration.
The mention Of Roosevelt never failed
to bring enthusiastic demonstrations.
But the Roosevelt talk goes on. There
is hardly newspaper of any big city
that has not been editorializing about
it, The news columns are filed with
stories about this and that thing which
Roosevelt is going to do. Most of it Is

ex-President is in the heart Of Africa
and, even if friends have been writing
to him, can know comparatively little
about American politics at this time.
The most significant item about the
entire Roosevelt agitation is that his
admirers are building foundation on
which he can base an individual cam
paign when he returns. They are agi-
tating constantly against the existing
order of things, unwilling to give Pres
ident Taft a chance to develop his
policies and show what he can do,

turn shall be the most towering figure
in national policies if they can make

Their nice plans will be spoiled, of
course, if the ex-President returns to
give his endorsement to all that Taft
has done 1t is not improbable that he
will do so. And yet the ex-President
is a variable man. He has turned
against old friends many a time and
he probably will do such things again
before his career is ended He will be
anxious to figure in politics again. 1t

Governor Deneen Listens to
Pros and Cons on the
School Book Bill.
BEFORE PASSING UPON 1T
Publishers Contend 1t Would Put
Them to Great Expense-Et-
telsOn Defends Measure.

Springfield, H., June '9.-School book
representatives, county and city super
intendents of schools and school book
jobbers appeared before Governor De
neen yesterday and urged him to veto
the Ettelson maximum price bill The
representatives of the book companies
declared that the bill, if it becomes a
law, will drive them out of the bust
ness in Illinois. They claimed that the
extravagant and drastic and that the
bill would prevent the best text books
from being used in schools. Senator
Ettelson appeared alone in defending
the bill. He made strong argument
in favor of it, and for an hour answer
ed questions that were fired at him by
the book representatives.
Requires Many Samples.
J. B. Scott, representing Scott, Fores
man & Co., said the bill would compel
his company alone to furnish SSS,320
sample copies of text books if it sub
mitted bids in the 11,S16 districts in
the state. AS bond is required TO ac-
company each bid. he said that it would
cost his company $4,000 to put up
bonds, which would aggregate in all
the school districts $1,500.000.
Ettelson took issue with statements
made by different representatives of
the book companies, TO the effect that
the bill would compel them to furnish
surety bonds in every district, amount
ing to millions of dollars. Ettelson
said that the bill contained nothing
about surety bonds, and that under
its provisions any publisher in good re-
pute could furnish security, outside of
surety bonds, for the performance of
the contract

CHAPTER VII.

E~ OMETHING untoward was hap .~A pening or impending at the ex- AS tehsive piers and docks of the
 Latin-Amercan Stea mship com pany on South street, Manhattan. This had been evident from an early hour, for when as whistle sounding time ap- preached the work men trooped toward the docks and warehouses to begin their daily toll they found groups of policemen stationed about the ap- breaches to the Latin-A merican lines property. On the faces of the men who entered it's gates was an ezpres- sion of expectancy and determination.
 The earliest man to arrive saw the tall. gaunt form of Mir. Smith. the superintendent, standing at the door of the office building. He had been working hard while they slept. but there was no evidence of his all night labor upon his cheerful visage, nor was any sign of anxiety or of the Enowl- edge that any unusual situation had arisen discerrible in his phlegmatic demeanor. He appeared to be enjoy ing the morning air and his cigar without a care in the world. His presence there at that hour was the only indication that he expected trou- bls. He had not allowed one police.

Smith gazed at him without any trace of offense, but with a look of pain in his eyes.
 "I'm sorry you said that, Joe." he answered in his slow, quiet voice. ''Yes. I know Emma's your wife and that sine chose you after I asked her to be mine, and it is just because l do know that that I don't want you to go wrong, and for just that same reason I want you to understand that if you ever get into a tight hole you can gamble on me for help, and r.

 "You're not going, then?" inquired Brooks as his friend moved toward the hail. but there was nothing in the tone of the query designed to encour- Rge the great hearted fellow to accom- lany them.
 ''No; you two had better go togeth- er," he replied as he passed out.
 When he had gone Brooks drew quickly from the inside pocket of his waistcoat the pocketbook containing the collections in checks and bills that he had not had time to turn in to the company, extracted a bill of S10 and returned the wad to it's hiding place.
 Emma emerged from the bedroom with her hat and jacket on.

MUCH TALKED OF MERGER.

1t is a source of universal regret in
Phoebe that the Nevada-Utah Mines
& Shelters and Ohio-Kentucky COM
panies failed to reach an agreement
respecting the consolidation OF the
properties in which they are jointly
interested in this camp. Greatest
hopes were held out that this mat
ter would be settled while the rep
resentatives of the two corporations
were on the ground; but it seemed i'm
possible for them to come any closer
to an understanding than they did
six months ago. Several subsequent
conferences were held in Salt Lake
and still they could not agree. 1t
appears that the Nevada-utah COM
pany insisted on 81 per cent OF the
stock in new holding company
which it was proposed to organize;
while the Ohio-Kentucky officials
would not listen to this one minute.
They were willing to go in on a half
and half basis; but further than that
they were unwilling to make any
further concessions. Besides the 81
per cent interest in the stock, 1t
is said that President Learnard OF
the Nevada U tab insisted on ma
jority representation on the board
Of directors; which was Objectionable
to the representatives Of the Ohio
Kentucky, who declared that to &C

thing they had objected to from the
very beginning of the negotiations
It was satisfactory to the represen
tatives of the Ohio-Kentucky for eacl
company to name an equal number o
men to represent them on the board
three each, leaving the seventh mem
Der to be selected by the origina
six members. This was not satisfac
tory to Mr.. Learnard, who Tough

Salt Lake papers quote Mr.Learn-
ard with having made the significant
assertion that both properties are too
valuable to lie idle very long; that
they will be worked He made this
statement just as he was about to
leave for home.
