Wonderful are the changes time
works. From across the sea Mr.. Heasst
is calling on Mr.. Roosevelt to 60 to
New YORK and free it from boss rule.
Mr.. Roosevelt has heard this tar cry
and will answer it. The cables have
been heated, messages which would
have bankrupted the ordinary man
have been sent Mr.. Roosevelt in Amer
lea, by Mr.. Hearst in Europe, telling
him his duty, and begging him to do it.
To many this seems strange. 1t is
humiliating, they say, for Mr.. Hearst
to take up Mr.. Roosevelt as his leader
and follow him into any fight. Well
do we recall that in 1906 Mr.. Hearst was
the democratic nominee for governor
of New York, and that he was defeat
ed, whilst the lieutenant-governor on
that ticket was elected. There was in
tense opposition to him in Wall Street,
and the fight was bitter all through.
The democratic bosses in many instan-
ces opposed him even more bitterly
than the republicans, but the republi-
cans did it as possibly never before.
The opposition stretched beyond State
limits, it reached the White House.
Mr.. Roosevelt could not keep out Of it.
He did not personally 60 into the cam
paign, but he did SO as personally as a
president of the United States could
do. He sent his Secretary of state, Mr..
Elihu Root, there, and IN one of the
most vehement speeches ever uttered
on the stump Mr.. Root denounced Mr..
Hearst as worse than q pickpocket, he
called him a murderer. This celebrat-
ed utterance of the administration, be-
it was known to be Mr.. Roose-
welt speaking through the mouth OF
his am bassador-was made at Utica.
Mr.. Root used the following words in
part:
81 say, by the Presidents authority,
that in penning these words, with the
horror Of President McKinley's murder
fresh before him, he had Mr.. Hearst
specifically in his mind.
"And say, by his authority, that
what he thought of Mr.. Hearst then
he thinks of Mr.. Hearst now"
If anything could be added to this,
we cannot imagine it. That Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Hearst were necessarily
political enemies from that moment
could hardly be denied. Yet now in
the fight MI. Roosevelt is making for
New York domination, as stepping
stone the presidency, Mr.. Hearst is to
be supporter, the power of Mr..
Hearst's newspapers is to be at his
back. There are some who are ready
to exclaim at this attitude of Mr..
Hearst, ais thy servant dog that he
should do such thing ?"

It is remembered with some difficulty
because it has been good while
since President Taft appointed q Tariff
Commission that they will after while
take up first, the tariff ON woods, and
wooden articles, and may report to the
next congress in Decembr, 1911. Some
other schedules will be taken up later
and future reports may be be expected
as time wears away. Nothing Fash
or sudden need be feared by the pro.
tected interests.

the SPIRIT OF EMPIRE

Mr.. Roosevelt Is person to be seri-
ously reckoned with. If he is for good
he will be a power in that behalf. If
he is ambitious, his ambition may
work everlasting harm. Our country
needs some changes, and number Of
improvements, but it needs no great
surgical operation. 1t is not on the
sick list, nor has it internal maladies
which require heroic methods to cure.
1t has no broken limbs nor fractured
skulls to be set, or trephined, by po-
litical surgeons or hospital nurses.
What is our distemper can be cured by
my skillful statesman, backed by a
party Of decent people, bent on cure
and not by scientific research" by
su opposed experts, looking for hidden
maladies in our corporal system.
Now If we are not mistaken, Colonel
Roosevelt has appointed himself as
the conservator of the health OF the
American people. He has, of his own
volition, gone forth to educate them to
his views; and to be their sponsor and
their leader. There have been times
when the people needed some leader,
even since Mr.. Roosevelt slept into the
arena, when they were more scattered
than now, and when leader Of the
true stripe might have rendered them
real service, especially about the
time the Spanish war was thrust upon
the country, and our baneful colonial
policy raised its hydra head. Then a
conservative, wise and patriotic leader
was In demand. Such did not appear.
All were carried of their feet by "the
vision of Empire" Mr.. Roosevelt was
no unknown quantity in that day and
generation. But he was among the
first to rally to Empires bugle call.
He has had the spirit of Empire in
him ever since, and today, if we mis-
taAe not, it burns hotter than before.
IN ational" is word ever on his tom
que. The aviation" is the least term
he can use. estates have no rights"
in his mind, they surrendered them
when the Union was formed, and they
had the lesson burned into their flesh
in 1865. There is no necessity for a
CRISIS, but there is going to be a
crisis in this country as sure as the
stars are set in the heavens.

BUSINESS SENATOR'S

And now the rubber trust, which
Mr.. Aldrich and his senatorial assOci-
ate, Simon Guggenheim, took such
good care of when the tariff bill was
framed, has declared another dividend.
The facts seem to be that the tariff law
became effective Aug. 5, 1909. The
consolidation of crude rubber compan-
les followed quickly, that is on Nov. l..
Just after this COUP to-wit, on Dec. 8.
the International Crude Rubber Trust,
of which Mr.. Aldrich's son is Vice
President and General Manager, was
organized and took in number OF
companies. Mr.. Aldrich and the Gug-
genheims took large blocks of this new
stock, in no case less than 1000, 900,
in some as high as $2,5O0,OO0. By
Jan'y. 1910. the preferred stock got a
dividend of per cent. Action quick
ened, and by Feb. 10, thirty days
thereafter, another dividend of per
cent. was declared. On March 10, just
another thirty days thereafter, divi-
dend of 4.20 per cent. was declared,
making 1920 per cent. in practically
two months. This was almost equal
to Credit Mobilier stock of ancient
fame. Another dividend has just been
declared, and the splendid business of
the company under the benignity of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff, enables it to
earn net, about $500, 900 per month on
a capital, most of which is water, of
$40, 900, 600. There is nothing like being
in the U. s. Senate if you know how
| to do things.

IRONicAL REFERENCES
 TO ROOSEVELT
Caustic Editorial in London Standard
 Colonel Still in Cairo

London, March 3O.-The Standard this morning devotes a long editorial to ironical references to Colonel Roose- velts progress.
 Alluding to a recent rumor that the ex-president had received an offer of the post of adviser-general to the Chi nese empire, the Standard says he is obviously the man for the position
 It remarks that the ordinary traveller requires months of study and observa- tion before venturing an opinion on foreign nations. With man of gent us," it is otherwise A few weeks, spent mainly on the cars and steam CTS and at the hotels, qualities him to pronounce judgments for the instruc- tion. of the listening nations.
 We look forward with keen antici- pation," the editorial concludes, "to Mir Roosevelts discovery of the British isles and his candid remarks on our shortcomings We might return the compliment by sending, say MT. As- quith, to lecture the citizens of the United States on their national defects and imperfections.''

BUCKLEY A STUBBORN WITNESS.
President of New York Life Gives Damaging Testimony in Insuranee Case.

New York, March 2s.-william H. Buckley, for years the handy man at Albany of the fire insurance companies, stepped down from the witness stand today with a sigh of relief Superin- tendent Hotchkiss of the state inaur- ance department after four days of grilling announced that he was through with him as witness. The superin- tendent's next step will be an attempt to bring about his disbarment as a lawyer on the strength of the testi- mony adduced at the hearing.
 Just before the session adjourned ness tell him how much he got from the insurance companies. Buckley was silent as usual
 "The records show" said Mir. Hotch- kill, answering the question himself, that you received about $100, 900 from the insurance companies in the years you represented them"
 During the day, Darwin P. Kings ley, president of the New York Life Insurance company appearing as a witness, swore that Buckley asked him to pay him s3,o00 in 1906 with which to buy at $500 each, the votes of six members Of the. state senate. It was also shown that as late as September underwriters raised $500 to be spent in connection with legielation at AL bany
 MT. Kingsley's appearance as a wit ness gave the first direct life insur- ance tinge to the inquiry. There had been vague evidences of Buckley's &C., tivity in this line previously but MT. Kingsleys statements were straight from the shoulder.

DISTINGUISHED DOG DEAD.
Was With Peary on Final Dash for
 North Pole.

Portland, Me, March 2s.-One of the most distinguished of dogs died today on Flag Island, in CASco bay, near Commander Robert E. Peary's summer home on Eagle Island. The canine was the last survivor of the deep cheSted, powerful musc1ed and courageous brutes that Peary selected as the best of all the hardy breed of the frozen north to take him and Matt Henson on the final successful dash to the pole. Even more distinction also falls to the lot of the half wild creature, for he was with Peary when the explorer reached "furthest north," three years ago.
 So attached did the commander be- come to the faithful dog that he brought f1im back to his Casco bay home to sport with other Eskimo dogs that were survivors of previous trips. The animal had been placed on exhibi- tion at the dog shows at Boston and Portland. The unnatural conditions Of his new life undermined the animals vigorous strength and caused Its death.

Washington. March 2s.-A speech in the senate today by Senator Chamber lain of Oregon in support of the land withdrawal bill, the first of the presi- dents conservation measures, served to elicit from other senators 8 number of remarks of a sufficiently varied char acter to justify the prediction that the conservation bills would be vigorously resisted when their consideration is reached.
 The debate aroused by MT.

Latter Branded as a Bribe Taker by His Own
 Action
FoREsTALLs ACTION oFNEw YORK SENATE
Only Explanation for Resignation Political Exped ency-Not Likely that Conger will Resign-Scope of Investigation to be Extended.

Albany, N. r., March 29.-Jotham P. Aids went to his home in Norwich to- night a private citizen, branded as a bribe taker by his former colleagues in the senate and by his own act ho longer a member of that body. Sen the charges against Aids which re- suited in the investigation that ended today stayed here to fight.
 The senate today upheld Congress charges when forty of its 49 members voted that they had been sustained by the evidence adduced It is believed that Conger came to the senate today ceived this vindication. He did not resign, however, and developments made 1t likely that he will not do SO. The cause of this is a resolution in troduced by Senator Cobb, the ma jority leader, providing for the ap- to the senate charges against Conger growing out of his connection with legislation and the use of funds to in- f1uence the members of the legislature or other persons with reference there to-" Even Congerss enmeies admit he is a fighter and the belief is that he will oppose this attempt to deprive him of office as vigorously and with as free an expenditure of money as he at tackled Aids.
 The Cobb resolution was referred to the judiciary committee. It is expect ed that the committee will report it to the senate unless the leaders conclude that it's adoption would plunge the senate into another investigation and cause further delay to legislation.
 Although forty senators voted against Aids today, by no means this number can be counted on to stand by Conger in a personal conflict now that
