NEW YORK Sept. l.---wall Street
Theodore Roosevelt with emotions
ranging from disgust to anger. As a
rule, however. these feelings are sup
pressed. Many Of the leaders In the
financial world. who frankly admit
privately their hostility toward the ex-
president, hesitate TO go on record pub
licly-apparently not knowing what
may happen. Many could be found to-
day who share the opinion expressed
yesterday by Henry Clews in his state
ment beiittling the possible effect OF the
coloneTs remarks on the ground that
they are merely the tuterances OF a
private citizen. In a statement issued
to-day, j. s. Bache & Co. the broker

Roosevelt ia a destroyer. not an up
builder. Roosevelt endeaEors to tear

"In whatever light II Is looked at
Mr.. Roosevelt's speeches out West will

benefit Mr.. Roosevelt. His speeches
are those of a derna gogue and are
intended In. and do. arouse excite
ment and resentment. But what he
sayH has no real purpose or direction.
BY his hroadspread TRADES against the
business honesty of the nation he
smirches all business. The tendency
would be to still further reduce conf
dence here and abroad II his words had
weight. but abroad he Is discredited
and ridicuied.
THE position he assumes politically
is an unfair one. Under cover he is
attacking the administration. But he
shoulders no responsibility.

CHILDREN NEED BOOK

The State superintendent of public
instruction is facing one of the most
serious questions in the history OF his
office, and II is not improbable that
special meeting Of the State board
of education VIII shortly be called to
attempt some solution or settlement
OF IL
Nearly everything is ready for the
opening OF the public schools in the
cities and towns. The teachers have
been engaged. the children are pre-
pairing tor enrolment, but there are
no books, and the district superinten-
dents are writing to the secretary OF
the board every day asking when the
text books for their school children
will be available.
Under the recent ruling of the at
torney- general, however, all publishers
| in other States who were awarded
contracts for furnishing books for
Virginia schools must take out a
license to do business in this State
So far these publishers have not taken
out their licenses. and from present
indications 1t appears that there is
trouble ahead.
Ahrogates Contract
One publisher. the Century Com
pany OF New York. has written to the
secretary OF the State board and to
the encouragement TO the effect that
1t will not deliver any books under
the ruling OF the encouragement and
gives notice that 1t refuses OF carry
out the terms of the agreement.
another publisher. one of the larg-
est In the United States. which was
awarded seven books, has given notice.
IL Is understood. through its represen-
tative, that II viii pay the license
tax, deliver the books, and then Inn
mediately take steps to recover the
amount OF the tax. claiming that the
new ruling was made after the con-
tracts had been awarded, and that the
prices quoted by the publishers were
submitted without the knowledge
that they would be required to pay
special fee for selling the books to
Virginia school children.
1t Is also pointed out that the terms
OF the contract are the same as those
under which books have been sold in
the past. and that. inasmuch as no
license fees have been heretofore re-
CURED, none should be required now,
especially as the publishers were given
no notification of II until after they
had fixed their prices.
Enforce Law.
AT the office OF the attorney general
ii was learned that the recent ruling

tract reads that the books shall be

indicates that the publishers must OPP
crate within the State, not being al
lowed to sell books to the children
directly from the publishing houses,
In order that they may claim inn
munity from the tax under the inter-
state law.

fortified behind the attorney generals
ruling, is preparing to assess the pub
fishers upon their fun capital stock,
