GIVE ,rro THE JAckPoTrEss

"Give it to the ckpotters" yelled
man in the crowd at Peoria, ILL.,, wnen
Col. Roosevelt spoke there ON Wed-
nesday.
"Good, my friend" shouted the COL
onel. 81 am glad to hear you say
that NO man who Is worth his salt
will support any one of the creatures
who were tainted in that scandal. Inc
most important thing before us as a
oeople is to drive from public life the
corruptionist, the bride taker, the
byibe giver. The men whom you
speak of as jackpotters are traitors 10
the American people. traitors OF the
basest h ind, and it is infamous In any
one to condone their iniquity or 10
support them and stand behind them'
directly or indirectly. The presence
In public life of such men is shame
and a scandal and do not care a rap
whether they belong to my party or &c
some other party. l hold IL my
bounden duty to be equally hostile to
them in any event. The very fact thai
we have the power. the people OF tn
country, should make us keenly alive
to our responsibility for the exercise o.
the power. The knowledge that we
cannot In the last resort blame any
body but ourselves for what happens
In our public life, ought to cause US te
realize our responsibility. The Bible
saws, sWoe to the people whose sover

uYou can guarantee that what cal
do to war against those evils ant
against their kind in every state o
the Union will be done. But it rests

and I can submit to it. But when

10 party lines. If man is crool
hunt him out of public life
YOU don't then you are harming tn
country not only for yourselves but +
your children and your children's CHI

The suppliant railroads which are
begging the Interstate Commerce
Commission to allow them to increase
their rates, have developed the fact
that in almost every case one half OF
their stock holders are women ana

to bring tears to ones eyes, not be-

OUR NEW ASSESSMENT

We have not taken time to analyze
the new real estate assessment, but
hope 10 do so, as there are various IN
ouiries relative to the plan adapted Tor
arriving at the 20 per cent. increase
All the people know is that nearly
500, 600 was added to our values, put
what they want to know is where II
fell most heavily. The rather start
ling increase has caused much open
comment, and vast deal more quiet
murmuring. The trouble does not
seem to come from an indisposltion to
meet the burdens laid on us by the
mode of conducting city affairs, so
much as from the fact that the new
assessment makes an additional heavy
drain for State purposes. We Will
now be compelled to send thousands OF
dollars to Richmond to aid in paying
especial COUNSEL" giving statues to
France, help pay an assistant to the
attorney-eeneral," and also help pay

New York, Oct TO- (Special).
On the decline of last week the cot
ton market appears to have been pref
ty thoroughly liquidated and although
it has been dull and narrow for the
greater part of this week, prices have
shown distinct tendency toward re-
covery. While there has been no ma
terial change in the crop situation,
our advices indicate moderate I'M
provement in most sections OF the belt
since the first of the month.
In Texas the bolls have opened pre-
maturely as result of the hot weather
and absence of rain during August and
receipts nave been unusually heavy
from that section but elsewhere the
crop is about two weeks late and
while picking is becoming more gene
raj now, receipts from the Eastern sec
tions of the belt are lighter than had
been expected up to this time.
