statehood bill until it will result. it is believed. in seating four republican sen ators from two Mexicanized sovereign states.
 This is to be accomplished by admitting to suffrage all Mexicans, and this Mex ican vote by a shrewd bargain is to be cast for republicans. The bargain be- tween the republican party and the Nor mons smells bad, but it never went so far as to hand over two states to men from another country with altogether different traditions and notions. These men of mixed blood are Latin Americans. and if they can retain control of the two states those states will become Latinized and Mexicanized until Americans would not feel at home in either.
 As amended the bill will, it is conceded, be speedily passed, and the mainland will no longer have a territory. The roundup is, however, un-American, but what is Americanism among friends in the Cannon -Aldrich party?

NEW YORK CITY BANKS
 MAY CONSOLIDATE

New York, March 14.-Unusual &C., tivity on the stock exchange in the shares of the National Bank of Ccm- merce today gave renewed currency to a rumor that the bank is to be con- soltdated with the National City bank. Under active bidding Bank of Com merce shares which a week ago sold at s20S advanced to $240 after opening at s220 and closed at $231. Such shares are ordinarily torpid and change hands only in small lots. Today 100 shares sold at 1920 and more than 1000 shares changed hands in all.
 Thomas F. Ryan has long been the dominating figure in the National Bank of Commerce. but the feeling that the Morgan interests are sup nla ptfng him was accentuated recently hv his resignation from the directorate to he succeeded by his son, followed by ,s e,ection to the board of Henry Davidson of the firm of Morgan & Co.,, and of J. F. Morgan, Jr.
 James Stillman is still the leading figure in the National City bank, which is regarded as a Rockefeller institu- ton. Both MT. Morgan and MT. Still man are abroad. The rumor could not

 The banks are capitalized at $25,000,- | o00 each and have the largest out of | town accounts held insthe city. Natton- a1 City bank'o shares have long been selling between 3405 and $415.

Mir. Roosevelt In a New Role

The once fearless, outspoken, even im- pulsive Roosevelt is sadly changed by African travel and exploits. He has be- come a gumshoer-a machine man in dis like of publicity. He is no longer the Theodore Roosevelt who delighted in boarding the organization in it's congress sonal den. Hear him as he emerges from the jungle: 'I have nothing to say and will have nothing to say on Amer ican or foreign political questions, or any phase or incident thereof. I will give no interviews and anything purporting to be
 in the nature of an interview with me can be accepted as false as soon as it appears. This applies to our entire stay in Europe"
 He does not plead ignorance of the course of politics in this country. He simply will not discuss policies, and the hope of the organization is dashed in one
 important respectable great hunter will not indorse the Aldrich tariff in time to save some of the standpatters from de- feat in the primaries
 But how great is the change in our Theodore in one short yearl No one thought one year ago he would ever say, T will make no political statement of any kind whatever" Then he welcomed an opportunity to express himself. Now, lie is as silent as a mummy in one of the ruined tombs on the river he is steaming to sea on. Alas, and also alack, the change He is to gumshoe through Egypt and Europe so far as political questions are concerned. He may be willing to discuss tennis or shis recent hunt in the African jungle, but the jackals and wolves in the home jungle are safe until he returns home at least The standpatters who cannot get his sup port affirmatively will be content no doubt to escape in a negative way with a whole skin.

RoSebery and the Lords

The plan of Lord Rosebery for the re- constitution of the House of Lords by the lords is now disclosed. It calls for a utrong and efficient second chamber. This chamber, says Lord Rosebery, can best De obtained in the existing House of Lords The selection must, adds Lord Eosebery, be made on the basis of merit rather than of primogenture. In other words, while a man may be a peer by heredity, he should not be a legislator except by election. To make the matter etirl plainer, Lord Rosebery proposes that the 600 peers of the realm should select from their own number about 100 to oerve as legislators.
 There may be 100 capable men among the peers, but this manner of selecting an upper house will not for a moment ho accepted by the liberals, unless the 1eto power of the 100 be reduced to a minimum. To this Lord Rosebery would not agree, nor would the House of Lords and so it follows that the Rosebery ol any other known plan for reforming the House of Lords would not obviate the noed of an appeal to the country on this very subject. A House of Lords, re. npimed by the people, might prove very nnfferent from House of Lords reformed ev Rosebery or by all the lords.
 Iord Rosebery was once liberal leadel , md premier. He is now a mugwump Tt his opinions command respect, ans nerhaps he can devise plan for mend {. n,r the House of Lords without endin,

GAYN0R PLANS AN
 IMPORTANT MOVE

New York, March 14.--Among the
 multifarious activities of Mayor Gay
 nor it has been the subject of com
 ment that hitherto he has said little
 and done nothing about Sunday selling by the saloons. Teday he made his first formal utterance on this important
 subject in letter to William F. Baker,
 the police commissioner, in recommend
 ing the trial of two policemen who last
 Sunday made arrests of saloon keepers in districts not their own and while in
 plain clothes, off duty.
 .sWhen all the acts of these police men shall have been put in sequence says the mayor, their motive will be apparent enough. If they are acting conscientiously, their cases should be treated with leniency, but going about the city in plain clothes while off duty offers too great an opportunity for blackmail and extortion."
 Before l came into this office, he added. II was informed of the vast sums of money in the aggregate which liouor dealers were paying for what Is called protection on Sunday, and l have | been slowly gathering the evidence of II since I have been here and getting ready to put a stop to it in way which | is open to us and at the same time duly enforce the nquor law here in safe and orderly manner, as well or better than it is enforced anywhere in the state"
 The mayer does not indicate what that manner will be.

MORE DUPES TELL
 OF LOSING MONEY

Council Bluffs, la, March 14-Emmet Finley, general counsel for J. c. Mabray and his associates in the United States court where they are charged with whole sale swindling by the fraudulent use of the mails today, put government wit nesses through the most severe gruelling they have had, and in each case where victim testified to his losses, brought out admission that the witness intended to gain by his operations. and that he went to the headquarters of the Mil lionaires" with the avowed purpose of making some "easy money"
 Incidentally, the government today To- cated another store" of the defendants. Wilkesbarre. Pa, where at least one vic- tim lost s13.Oo0 on wrestling matches. Victims from Terre Haute, Ind; Aurora, Ill.,; Argyle. Iowa; Polk City, Iowa, and St. Louis told of losses which totalled about s9O,Oo0
 Fred S. Null and James Morrison were dismissed because. as District Attorney Temple later stated, the government was unable to secure the attendance of wit nesses in their cases, who were in Canada.
 A final ruling, letting in the letters and other documentary evidence taken from the effects of Mabray when he was ar rested at Little Rock. was considered by government counsel as an important victory, and the prosecution throughout the day placed many of these letters in the record in connection with the test- money of witnesses. A. B. D. Brande. merchant of Grinnell, Iowa, identified several letters exchanged with the de- fendants when they solocited his presence at sporting event in Wilkesbarre, Pa. MT. Brande, however, declined to be victim ized, although he admitted they had asked him to furnish $10.000 for the pro- posed match. c. O. Newberry, of Ar gyle, Iowa, next testified to losing s13, GOO in two horse races at Wilkesbarre. He told a story which In many respects was similar to those recited by other victims, but closed with the statement that The thought they were such fine fellows and showed me such good time, l decided to pay my own expenses Of $75 and did not ask them to reimburse me. They all belonged to the church and said they liked me. But these boys actually fooled me, although 1 never made a holler.'

NEW ORLEANS MEN
 GALL UPON TAFT

Washington, March 14.-Urging New Orleans as the best place in the country in which to hold the proposed exposition in 1915, in celebration of the completion of the Penama canal, a delegation of business men from the Crescent City to- day called upon President Taft, after wi ich they went to the capitol. They did not see Vice President Sherman, as he was out of the city, but saw Speaker Cannon. whom they invited to New Or- leGns to the proposed exposition, as also the House committee on expeditions. With a rumber of the members of the House delegation from Louisiana they were en- tertained tonight at the National Press club.
 Both President Taft and Speaker Can- non informed the New Orleans business men, who were headed by Governor san ders and Mayor Behrman, that the se- lection of a city for the exposition was matter for Congress to decide, but that they had no doubt 1t would appropriate the necessary money.
 President Taft said:
 T have expressed in correspondence to some gentle men from the Pacific coast who were asking the question as to which city on the Pacific coast might properly celebrate the opening of the canal, that as San Francisco really represented the whole of the Pacific coast 1t was the troper city for that purpose. l have had visit also, my recollection Is, from gentleman from Florida who was in favor of Tampa, I think; but l don't recollect to have expressed or committed myself in that regard. I think, too, there nave been some suggestions that Washington o1, ght to have some such memorial.
 However, the matter must ultimately, presume. rest with Congress as to which shall have the national celebra- tion, and with respect to which Congress will make the substantial appropriation that ought to be made to make the me morial a proper one for the work which vii. have been done. All l can say with respect to that is that New Orleans Is early on the ground-and with very strong arguments

Hats On Or Of l. Elevators

Atlanta is again in the spotlight. This time it is utilizing the custom of re- moval of hats by men in elevators when women are present. and in one of its of flee buildings a placard has been placed which states that men need not do SO. This has started a new discussion of the subject, and this discussion serves to keep Atlanta in the limelight.
 Opinions differ widely over this momen- tous subject. The Cleveland eader. for example. says:
 .tAll this Georgian bother about hats In elevators brings up the old question whether an elevator is a substitute for q room or for hall. If it is only equiv alent to q stairway there is no logic in the habit of taking off hats when ladies gre present. Not even southern men do that in the hall of business building. or on the stairs A room is different, but is an elevator a room? It does not do the work of a room. II serves instead of a stairway. North or south, the hats-on theory of mans duty to womankind in public elevators, h as the logic of the sit uation to sustain it. In that case reason and convenience trot in double harness"
 On the other hand, the Nashville Ban ner, speaking of the southern conception of deference and gallantry to women, / says:
 "An elevator is not to be considered in the same respect as a hall or passage way, or a stairway, or a shop or store in which there is the bustling of busi- ness. The elevator is q place in which men and women are brought together closely, with the gates closed, in such manner as to emphasize each others pres ence and to call for some special recog- hilton of the amenities of life and GUS tom. It is therefore not a strained po- likeness that induces a gentleman to take off his hat in an elevator when there are women present. It is but a natural manifestation of his respect for women and a recognition of the courtesy due them.
 The Banner intimates that the placard in an Atlanta elevator was not placed by southern man, and so the discussion takes on a sectional hue, becoming bit ter and even personal, and in the mean while Atlanta is keeping in the spotlight This was the hub of the matter in the beginning, and perhaps will be in the ending.

MILLERS PRESENT
 CASE TO TAFT

Washington, March 1A-President Taft today received second visit from the. committee sent to Washington last week by the various state millers' associations aiid the Millers' National Defense asso- ciation which was formed to defend the tieached flour prosecution of the gov erpment. Attorney General Wickersham, Secretary Wilson and Solicitor McCabe of the agricultural department were pres- ent at the interview. The millsrs' con- lnittee included Chauncey Abbott of Ne- braska, John w. Burke of Ohio, E. R. Mcdonald of Iowa, s. R. Larrabee of Kansas, Samuel Plant and John E. Mitch- eli of St. Louis, with Bruce S. Elliott as counsel.
 The millers have asked the President to modify the ruling of the Secretary ef Agriculture to the eff sct that all lFeachcd four Is adulterated, by excluding from
 he ruling flour bleached by electricity. II is claimed that by this latter process chemicals are not used in the flour
 There appeared this morning to be a decided conflict of opinion between the miliers and the government officials as 10 the result of prosecutions recently had in New Orleans and in Iowa..
 Secretary Wilson declared that the prosecution was test of the law, and that the millers did not defend 1t. The millers, on the other hand, claimed that only the misbranding of a product was involved at New Orleans, and that they did not wish to defend any such prac- tice. They claimed that in the Iowa cases, however, the electrical process of bleaching was involved, and that the government had dismissed these cases on Saturday last The milers asserted they were anxious to get some definite ruling, however, but in this they were unsuccess- full so far as today's conference was concerned. and Secretary Wilson after ward expressed the opinion that there woaid be no modification of the bleached 1uur ruling.

What the People of New York Know

The whitewashing of State Senator simply impossible. He can be, and no doubt will be, acquitted by the Barnes Woodruff machine, but no amount of whitewash can change the convictions of the people, for he admitted that he had long received S1eo a month from the New York Central railroad, and he does not live in county that is touch ed by that railroad. Aids is in short a senator from the New York Central railroad. He also admits banking con siderable sums of money just after the close of the legislative sessions. The pay of a legislator in New York is inconsiderable, and the people of New York known in general way what has been going on in their state ever since the Woodruff machine became powerful, and this was generation ago. This is what they all known, now that the leader of the senate, chosen by the ma chine, has been proven corrupt.
 The machine that elected Aids leader of the senate has now flouted Senator Root and all the rest of the Washing ton machine by electing man by the and Aids are two of kind. Both belong to the Woodruff Barnes Wads- worth machine. Taft and Root and tically been told to attend to business at Washington leaving all Albany bus mess to be handled by the machine.
 All New Workers know what the situation is, and if the democrats have any political or common sense they will reorganize in a manner that will let them sweep the state next fall. ana no man from the jungle can heal tie divisions that have arisen over the spells in the republican party of New York, for all the people know what is the matter. They do not need an Aids case to tell them of the rotten l
 ? generation at least in New York state.
