A CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES DREAM

It was related in recent Washington dis patch that the republican congressional cam paign committee is planning to grab Ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt as soon as he returns and book him for an extended campaigning tour through the insurgent west during the coming congress sional campaign.
 In other words, the organization, being pow erless to stem the rising tide of revolt against the mischievous influences in full control of the republican party, proposes to turn the job over to Roosevelt If the west doesn't think Aldrich and Cannon are quite the proper headlights for the republican party, Roosevelt is to be asked to come out to the west and tell it that they are.
 As Roosevelt had more to do than any other man with setting the prairie fire of independ- ence and insurgency that is so embrassing to the smooth management of public affairs in the in terest of private plunder, naturally he is the very man needed to put it out-if he will. And we are quite willing to go this far with the re publican congressional campaign committee: If anybody can put out that fire Roosevelt can.
 Whether Roosevelt is willing to lend himself thus to the effort to undo the splendid work he did as president, and to bend his strenuous en- ergy to the task of smothering the public con sciouness which he awakened, is another ques- tion altogether Colonel Roosevelt is a good party man. He believes in the republican party. It is highly improbable however, that he be- heves that Aldrich and Cannon are the repub- hcan party. Whether he thinks it or not, the truth is either that Roosevelt is the republican party, or that the republican party is dead and hasn't yet been convinced of the fact.
 There is still another question, greater even than that whether Roosevelt will fall into the pretty scheme laid out for him by the ren, hcan organization. That is whether, even if he wished to do so, it is possible for Roosevelt to put out the fire of revolt against the corrupt or ganization of his party. That splendid fire is about all the fire there is left in the republican party. If it is put out, there is no life or ex- cuse for living left in the party. Colonel Roose- welt knows that full well. We don't believe that he could put it out if he tried.

h The Halls of Congress
BY TAV.
Special Washington Correspondence.

That the position of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is hanging by slender thread, and that the presentation of his resignation would not cause great disappointment at the White House, is a view that is held pretty generally just now by politicians and government officers
 Secretary Wilson is reported to be somewhat in disfavor with the president on account of his testimony before the Ballinger Investigating committee. Inquiry at the White House as to the truth of this report elicited the non-c commit tai answer that there was nothing to be said on the subject In case Secretary Wilson resigns, the general belief is that he will be succeeded by Representative Charles F. Scott of lola, Kans, who is now chairman of the committee on agri- culture Scott is Cannon man, and otherwise qualified to succeed "Uncle ,Jim.'
 Secretary Wilson could have hardly made a more miserable showing before the Ballinger committee. After denying that he had author ized Pinchot to send to Senator Deliver the let ter which caused Pinchot's dismissal by Presi- dent Taft Secretary Wilson admitted that Pinchot had informed him he was going to write letter, and that he had protested against any effort to "blanket" the presidents message on the Ballinger case. It has never been asserted by Pinchot or any one else that Secretary Will son knew exactly what was to be in the letter to Senator Deliver, but that he had a very com prehensive idea of the character of the com munication there is no room for doubt
 In view of the fact that President Taft dis missed Pinchot because he regarded the Deliver letter as an act of insubordinaton and as Sec retary Wilson had given N[r. Taft the basis for this charge by disclaiming all knowledge of Pinchot's intention to write the letter. it can be seen in how embarrassing position the presi- dent has been placed.
 Having the consent of his chief to write to Deliver Pinchot was not guilty of insubordina- ton, and, as he explained, he meant no disre- spect to the president, but believed the presi- dent had been deceived in the whole BaIlinger

WILSON ON THE BOARDS

Secretary Wilson of the department of agri- culture, who planes the corner grocer for the in- creased cost of living, has been "called" by Rep resentative Charles H. Weisse of Wisconsin, a Mir. Weisse declares ''UncIe Jim" is badly cites figures and facts to prove it.
 Wesse is not only one of the leaders on his side of the house, but is an operator of large tanneries in the Badger state. Therefore, he is especially qualified to discuss the issue as to whether the retail butcher or the beef trust is to blame.
 "Secretary Wilson is wrong, dead wrong, in his statements to the effect that the high cost of food products is due to the immense profits of the little dealer," says Representative Wesse ''What the secretary is trying to dc. is as plain as bright, summer, sunshiny day. He is try ing to take the load off the packers and trusts and shift it on the small dealers. If he would stop to figure a minute he would find in 13,400 failures that we had in 1909, there were 12,3O0 failures of firms rated below 5000, only one that was rated 1000 and one million This is according to Bradstreets' reports on failures in 1909 This is argument enough to settle the question that it is the large packers and trusts that are robbing the little consumer and dealer.
 'NOw, if the secretary will also take Brad streets for January he will find that the price of live hogs in 1896, in Chicago, was $40 hun dred, while dressed hogs sold for $3.S7 hun dred, which.left profit of AZ cents to the pack CTS for dressing. If he will look over the same report he will find the price of live hogs in Jan uary, 1910, in Chicago, was $50 hundred, while the price of dressed hogs was $11.60 which left $2.90 hundred to the packers for dress ing, which is about six times as much as the packers received in 1896!
 ''If the secretary will ponder over the cost of articles of food as set out authoritativey in Bradstreets he will find that it is not the little fellow, the measly little trusts, as he dubbed the retailers that is making the money out of these extremely high prices. Under the inflated system of currency maintained by the present administration, and with the excessive import duties adding to the cost of everything, it costs the retailer great deal more to do business than it did ten years ago. The purchasing pow CT of his dollar is almost cut in two.
 "The protectionists are trying to put the blame on the retailer. The whitewash scheme may work for some time, but I believe that the people will take advantage of the articles on the free list in the Payne bill one being tar and the other feathers, which were reduced 15 per cent A good coating of this at this time, to some of these Cannon and Aldrich and system follow CTS, would be a good remedy for the present high protection evil.''

HIGH PRICE OF MOCHA.
Limitations Upon Growth Of the

upon the growth of Mocha and the
care that is taken by the local au

from being substituted and
