Groundlcss Fears.

New York, Aug. 31.-Wall Streets
worry lest Theodore Roosevelts
speeches on his present western tour
upset the market, is groundless owing
to the fact that Roosevelt is merely a
private citizen, in the opinion OF Henry
Clews, the banker. Why should Wall
street be terrorized by the speeches
Roosevelt is now making?" Clews asks.
Roosevelt is not the presid ent, nor
the governor, nor member OF Con-
gross, nor Of the state legislature. He
is possessed OF no lawmaking power.
He is simply a private citizen. 1t may
be that in two or six years he will pc
elected us law enforcer and law maker
but as that is far off, Wall street had
better not jump that fence until it gets
there. Roosevelt's oratory at the pres
ent time should not be taken seriously. "
