NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-wall street

Roosevelt with emotions ranging from
disgust to anger. AS a rule. how
ever, these feelings are suppressed.
Many of the leaders in the tinacial
world, who frankly admit privately
their hostility toward the ex-Presi-

apparently not knowing what may
happen. Few could be found today
who share the opinion expressed yes

that they merely the utterances of a

In a statement issued today, ]. S.

cotton pool, said
Roosevelt is a destroyer, not an
upbuilder Roosevelt endeavors to

an whatever light it is looked at,
Mr.. Roosevelt's speeches out west will

are those of a demagogue and are in
tended to, and do, arouse excitement
and resentment. But what he says
has no real purpose or direction BY
his broad spread tiradts eagainst the
smirches all business. The tendency
would be to still further reduce con-
iidence here and abroad if his words
had weight, but broad he is already
discredited and ridiculed.
"The position he assumes politically
is an unfair one. Under cover he is
attacking the administration. But he
shoulders no responsibility.
Thinking people are beginning to
discover him in his true light, and
the best thought must eventually con-
troll"
Il shouldn't be surprised if Roose-
velt discovered and endorsed the ten
commandments before he got
through" said A. Barton Hepburn,
president Of the Chase National bank,
anr comptroller of the currency under
President Harrison.
Roosevelt seems to have made the
remarkable discovery that there are
crooks in al stations of life who
should be punished. | don't think his

AUGUST PERMITS
Building Business for Month
Far Below figures of
Preceding Month

Building Inspector Cassidy COM
pleted his report for August to-day.
II shows that during that month he
issued forty-eight permits for build
ing operations costing $154.510.30. In
the corresponding period of last year
the bu~ding inspector issued sixty-one
permits for properties of a total val
uation OF S223,06S.
The fiNing off this year is not due
to any lack OF building operations,
for everybody seems TO be busy In
the building trades line. Last year,
however, in the corresponding month,
the American Car and Foundry Com
pany took out permits for two shops
costing $4,000, and the Woodlawn
Company took out a permit for a
number of houses which were erected
during the year on it's tract in the
western section of the city. These
sums helped to swell the total for
August. 1909.

Sailor shoclIs = sympnthizer
The pace kills

A passenger on transatlantic liner
had an experience recently which was
calculated to make her believe that
seaman is not apt to waste many
thoughts on his personal troubles.
The seaman who brought the trav-
e}ier to this opinion had. the second
day out, fall which resulted In bad
cut on the head. She was most solic-
itous in her inquiries as to his welfare
when she saw the captain that night
and would undoubtedly have contin-
uad her sympathy had not a rough
sea called to mind her own suffering.
Four days later, however, when
she emerged, white and weak. from
her stateroom, she suddenly remem-
bered the poor sailor. In the course
of the day she encountered him, with
a strip of plaster on his forehead.
How is your head?" she asked kind
ly, as he passed by her bent on some
duty.
