A MISNOMER.

The announcement OF meeting OF the White

our eye in the Ledger Dispatch and occasioned
a momentary shock, the like OF which we have
not experienced In long time. What Nor

WHAT WILL. ROOSEVELT SAY?

Under this caption the Charlotte. N. c., Ncaos
says:
Roosevelt Is to be called before the steel
probing committee. This is Inevitable. We
cannot understand how the committee could
excuse him.
BY long reach OF executive usurpation
OF authority Roosevelt approved the gobbng
up OF the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
by the Steel Trust. He enabled the Steel
Trust to put formidable competitor out OF
the way. He enabled the Steel Trust to monop-
olze the south's trade In steel He helped
the Steel Trust to the trade in high
grade ore. And he helped the men who contro
the Steel Trust to stay the panic and make Sc
cure all their Investments. He made Uncle

effort to eliminate a competing concern. He
approved this vast deal made without dollar
changing hands by which the smaller concern
| lost heavily.

did not call before 1t the man who sanctioned
such deal as this.

A FRIEND OF THE FARMER.

Representative Lever. of South Carolina,
