TROUBLE n THE SOUTH WEST.

Mr.. Z. Bascom Slemp has succeeded,
we learn, in procuring the aid of Mr..
Roosevelt in his contest with Henry
G. Stuart for Congress in the 9th Vir-
ginia district.
This looks as if Mr.. Slemp had fears.
OF course any one of the many persons
seeking a seat in Congress on the re-
pu blican side, would be only too glad
to have Mr.. Roosevelt come to his
district and make speech, but as he
can only help out a few, the impress
sion is that in order to obtain his aid,
the case must be necessitous. 1t is
useless when MI. Roosevelt is in such
demand and so extremely beneficial, to
have him waste time unnecessarily.
So, inasmuch as he has agreed to go to
Mr.. Slemp's aid, there must be trou-
BILE. Henry Stuart must be giving Mr..
Slemp some restless hours, and caus-
ing him to lose sleep. The reports we
have heard from the Great Southwest
were that Slemp was as certainly q
winner, as nine pence was good for a
ticker. But with all due respect to
reports, and opinions of those who
know, and those close to Mr.. Slemp,
and those who have never missed a
guess, and those who can see plumb
through political brick wall, there is
something wrong in republican affairs
in the 9th, if MIR. Roosevelt is to 60
there to speak.

ABSOLUTE SURRENDER ONLY

Washington, D. c., July 23.-Ab-
solute surrender of all of Madriz's
pretensions to the presidency OF Mic
aragua is the one condition which the
state department will accept from the
Madriz ENJOYS, Modesto Barrios and
Sebastian Salinas, when they present
their cas-" after their arrival in Wash
ington next week. No terms which
provide for the continuation of the
Madriz administration will receive
the slightest consideration. The re-
tirement of Madriz, the elimination
of the Zelaya influence, ana the pos
tive assurance of a fair and open
election of constitutional president
are absolutely essential to any under
standing between the Madriz agents
and the department. This is the firm
attitude of Secretary Knox.

a CHANGE Is IMMINENT.

Is the political millennium at hand I?
Certainly something seems about to
happen. THERE'S unrest in every part
of the nation. There is demand for
a change. The middle West is ablaze,
the South has SO long been down trod-
den she is ready to join hands with any
party which promises relief. There
are thousands upon top of thousands
in the North who have grown restless
under conditions, and if there ever was
a moment when political revolution
was rife, if not exactly ripe, now is the
time. The demand for a revision of
the tariff was, before the last election,
SO insistent that the republican party
undertook it. The trick in its accom-
plishment was SO thinly yelled that it
disguised all but those who took part
in the game. "Revision" with those
who saw the inequalities and burden
of the tariff laws, meant change of
tariff schedules intended to give relief
to the oppressed people. "Revision"
with those who were appointed to ire
wise the tariff" meant a cunningly
devised mass of schedules by which
the tariff was arranged to suit certain
"pets" or campaign contributors, as
we'll as some personal pets, favorites,
and the personal interests of some of
those who arranged the schedules,
m aking the taxes more onerous than
ever before. The people are now be-
ginning to understand the deception,
their eyes are being opened, and every
day that element beginning to be call
ed "Insurgents," is growing and
spreading as green bay tree.
The movement is headed by the most
brilliant men in public life in the
West. 1t may yet have at its head
Theodore Roosevelt, indeed it seems
certain that the old moss back repub-
lican party, controlled by few of the
terminal rich," has no place for him.
He is given to no dead issues, nor is he
capable of being controlled by the
''monied" interests.
The seizure of Alaska by the Morgan
Guggenheim Syndicate, the attempt
ed, if not the actual, seizure of other
public domain by other exploiters of
the same character, has not appealed
to him, indeed he seems determined
to break it up, and with a destruction
of such idols, other idols will be smash
ed, and corporate greed, and monopo-
listic rapacity will be humbled. They
will be made to know and assume
their legitimate place in public affairs.
The people will rally to any bugle call
which promises these things, or looks
toward their accomplishment, and the
day of their coming is at hand.

ssThe pathetic little Gubernatorial
boom of James Rudolph Garfield was
formally launched at a dinner in Cleve-

speeches and elaborate food, and JIM
my gave brief outline Of the political
philosophy, which he would like the
world to believe is responsible for the
dissatisfaction with which he looks
upon his own fortunes, and those of the
country at the present moment.
"Mr. Garfield deserves all the nice
little dinners Cleveland will give him.
He is a remarkable figure in Ohio pol
itics. He is the one republican in the
State for whom Col. Roosevelt could
take the stump every morning. and
every night, during the campaign with

for victory !"
The Cincinnati Tlmes-Star, which is
owned and edited by Mr.. Charles r.
Taft, brother of the president, has the
a bove flattering notice of young Mr..
James R. Garfield, son of the late
s'martyr" president, James r. Gar
field. 1t is fact that Jimmy" Gar
field was member of Col. Roosevelt's
cabinet. He was Commissioner of
Commerce and Labor in that cabinet,
he had a good deal to do with "my
policies, f" especially "My Conservation

go when Mr. Taft began ''carrying out
my policies" and dumping them in

He is probable candidate for COVER

this statement, "Col. Roosevelt could
take the stump for him every morning
and every night during the campaign
without giving him the slightest

Probably no people in the world owe
SO much to the Colonel as the Tafts.
The Garfields were great before the
Tafts swere heard of beyond the block
on which they lived. The Garfelds
reached eminence by the brains of
President Garfield who forged to the
front by reason of his strength. Mr..
Taft got every position he ever had by
appointment, except the presidency,
and that almost the same way. There
never was any demand for him. He
was 'permitted" to run because he

CONFESS SHOOTING
Two Fort Myer Troopers Tell Story

Washington, d. @. July %. "A
mystery which seemed destined tc
battle the police for weeks and has
cause sensation in army circles in
Washington in the last few days, was
solved yesterday afternoon in the
Office of Inspector Boardman at police
headquarters when two soldiers,
members of Troop G, Fifteenth caval-
ry, stationed at Fort Myer, Va, con-
fessed to shooting and seriously
wounding William Smith, in a fight
on the Aqueduct bridge on Monday
night last.

done in self defense.

AFTER the EXPRESS COMPANIES

We notice that US business organi-
cations and cities have joined hands to
make some kind of fight against Ex-
press Companies. They are really
going to appear before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and ask some
relief. The advances by these compan-
les in rates has been something fierce.
There is no reason to have made them,
save on account Of that rapaciousness
which seems the sole policy Of all cor
porations, which become sufficiently
secure in their foothold, to be unafraid
of competition. These companies are
reported to be paying from As to 135
per cent. dividends, and the end is not
yet. Every year for some years past
has found the rates creeping up, and
up, and up, until now they are beyond
reason. If they could make money
some years ago at the prices, they
can make far more now, because they
do vastly more business with scarcely
a particle of increased cost. They pay
no more for labor now than five years
ako, vet there is vast difference be-
tween the cost of sending q package
now and then. The Interstate Com
merce Commission may do nothing,
indeed we feel sure it will not, but the
people will soon demand Parcels
Post, and by the time the insurgents
get through with the express COM
panies, some of them may almost wish
they had never been born. These
companies need not think they are for
gotten or are overlooked in the present
hunt after criminal corporations. They
will be called to bar just as the Others

The Best Rations for Hogs.

Recent experiments at the Missouri
station prove that corn, good corn, is
good feed for any animal, and that
there is no reason for withholding it
from any animal needing food. At the
same time, it is shown that corn alone
is not nearly so good or so profitable
feed as corn supplemented by some
proteid food. such as tankage, linsecd
oil meal or soy beans.
In hogs fed exclusively on corn the
animal becomes very fat and chubby
and does not develop properly; the
bones are brittle and easily broken
SiXty-five hogs were used in this eK
pertinent, and they were divided into
lots of five each. Twelve different ra.
tons We're used, with corn alone in
TWO of them, and corn supplemented
with some other feed in the others.
The hogs fed on corn and linseed oil
meal and those fed on corn and tank
tge gained the most; those receiving
corn alone were most unsatisfactory.
