Roosevelt on a Slow Train

Chicago, November 3.-Theodore Roose- velt spent today on board a train which puffed its way across Ohio and Indiana i'll such leisurely fashion and made so many stops that he exclaimed:
 This train visits through the country"
 At all of the stations there were crowds which cheered when the colonel made his appearance on the rear platform.
 Colonel Roosevelt made a good many trips to the rear platform, so that his day was not one of such complete rest as he had expected. It was his first long trip without private car since his return from Africa, and the passengers all got acquainted with him before he reached Chicago at o'clock tonight. He made short speeches to few of the largest crowds.
 "All I am trying to do in politics." he said, at Warsaw, Ind, '1s to try to get things a little straighter-a little more de- cent"
 Charles Grilk, republican candidate for Congress. for whom Colonel Roosevelt is to speak in Iowa tomorrow. met the colo nel at the station and took him in an au- tomobile to his special car. on which he departed for Iowa an hour after his ar rival here.
 Colonel Roosevelt is to arrive at Daven- port at 2:35 a. m. and will remain in his car until time for breakfast with the Tri- City Press club. Then the colonel will make campaign speech for MT. Grilk. A committee from the Iowa State Teach CTS association is to meet him in Daven- port. With the committee and MT. Grilk, the colonel will leave at noon for Des Moines. stopping on the way at several places for short speeches. In Des Moines he Is to speak to the high schpol pupils, attend a dinner at the Grant club, and ad- dress the State Teachers association, and Mill r., will leave for Chicago at 1:04 D. m.
 During the day Colonel Roosevelt read the speech of John A. Dix in New York last night and issued a reply.

SECRETARY WILSON
 SPEAKS ON TARIFF.
Attempt Made to Explain the
 High Cost of Living
CRY OF CHEAP LABOR
CT of California In the Possible Changes to He Made In
 the Tarfff

Rome. N. Y, November 3.-Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture,
 chief speaker at a republican meeting
 held here tonight, raised question of
 the tariff and high cost ofs living. first speaking from a standpoint of the poiti-
 cal historian; second. the political econo-
 mist and last farmer from the nation at large.
 Secretary Wilson referred to the policy of the republican party from its incep- ton to encourage the upbuilding of fac
 tories and shops and the closing of these factories during the Cleveland adminis- tration Of 1SaS-1S97. Recognizing the pres ent cry of robbed by the tariff" he said:
 The department of agriculture is in touch with all sections of the country. It has 5000 specialists making research into conditions which interest the farmer few years ago nearly all our rice was Imported. Along the Gulf of Mexico we now raise the equivalent of all rice used in the United States We import some but we also export some. Along the northern border states we make 100000 tons of sugar from beets Our last beet sugar crop was worth by products and labor nearly $100, ,ooo,00o. Adopt demo- cratic policies and put sugar on the free list and the growth Of beets and making of sugar would stop.
 From California 4o,000 cars of citrus fruits were shipped east last year. Take off the duty. and we will get the fruit from Mediterranean countries where cheap labor prevails.
 Food products are dear and people are blaming the tariff for protecting food prices. Food cannot come from Europe. It is up to the people who buy farm products in the cities towns and villages 10 look into their own affairs a little The average profit put on meats last year py the retailers was 3S per cent Is the farmer to blame? Is the tariff to blame? It would be well for people to give more attention to the transit of products from the farm to the table.
 But there is reason In some of the in- creases Our country Is growing fast. Nearly 100000 people come to us from abroad every year and perhaps as many more by natural increases. Most of the foreigners and many oy the younger gen erations settle in towns. If small per centage of the people of towns and vii- lages would become producers and get the benefit of the high prices Of products of the field the equilibrium would soon
 be established, and the high prices may contribute to this very end"

"He Who Laughs Last"

Lawrenceburg, Ind. November s.-Trad- ing a mule for shaved tair' horse ap- pealed to the humor of s. H. Schrapp of this city and he began laughing He laughed 10 minutes and one hour with the tears rolling down his cheeks and still did not stop. His friends, becoming alarmed, summoned 8 physician but the physician could not stop the hearty Ina, ha.''
 When six hours had passed and Schrapp was still convulsed with laughter another physician was called, and still the horse traders merriment ruled. Schrapp was proclaimed the champion marathon laughter but that did not stop him and an electric battery was brought into play Just as the merry laugh had rounded F hours the trader was given heavy cleo tric shock, the ''ha's" ceased and he fell over exhausted. It was thought for time that the man would die but today he shows no i'll effects from the long laughter.
