We have always maintained that
one Theodore Roosevelt was
living example of the power of
printers ink, combined with just a
small amount of judgment and an
unlimited gall" We undertake to
say that this Roosevelt is possessed
Of the most stupendOus gall of any
man who ever figured in American
politics. If the readers will take
the trouble to look up the record it
will appear that all the honors be-
slowed upon Roosevelt were either
the direct or indirect cause of judici-
GUS and systematic advertising. We
do not mean to say, he hired space
in newspapers at so much per inch
or displayed hand bills and colored
posters on board fences. Not much
he fed hungry and unsuspecting
public upon a peculiar and special
brew of dope through the magazines
and metropolitan papers and
through his books, all of which were
carefully wOrded with the single OBJ
ject constantly in view of keeping
himself in the public eye. One Of
ten wonders what Roosevelt ever
did to make the people believe he
is such great man, but the truth
of the whole secret of his remarka-
BILE success and popularity is grad
ually being absorbed by the citizens
of this country. Take the instance
of the Spanish American war.
When hostilitieS broke out Teddy
pulled a string which gave him an
officers commission and regiment
to fight the Spaniards. How GER
tain newspapers howled and under
fiameing head lines told US in ad-
vance what this mighty soldier
would do to the enemy when he
got over to Cuba with his rough
riders. Well there was a small en-
gagement between the contendine
= armies and the newspapers were
chuck full of Roosevelt. Indeed one
might have concluded from reading
certain metropolitan papers tina

CT the construction of which Gould broke with Hartman The road Was opened for business last August and makes the Gould Western system d direct competitor of the Union Ia cific system from Kansas City to San Francisco. The financing of the Western Pacific, as we'll as that of the Missouri Pacific recently, when all subsidiary lines were taken over. was done by Kuhn, Leob & Co.,, who are also packers for the Union Pa. cific.
 After Harriman's death Gould was not anxious to continue in close CO., operation with the Union Pacific sys- tenn. One of the arrangements he made was traffic alliance between the Western Pacific and the Bur- lington, which is controlled by the Hill roads, also competitors of the Union Pacific. The arrangement threatened disturbanve of the rela- tions among the Western roads
 The plan which is now being work ed out provides for a commun ;ty or interest between the Western roads. One of the bankers engaged on it said today that a great deal of prog ress had been made on the negotia- tions, but that they had not progress ed far enough to announce details and he expressed himself as confi- dent however, that the principal ob- pect sought by the plan would be accepted
 MT Gould has been in recent years gradually retiring from active man. agement of many concerns and has retired from the boards of directors of several corporations His severeing of relations with the Manhattan Ele- vated was followed by a surrender of his interests in the Western Un- ion Telegraph Company

COTTON BELT
 IS PENALIzED
Railroad Loses Contention Before the United States Appel
 late Court.

New Orleans, Jan. 1S.-The Feder- al court of appeals has decided the following case:
 St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company ve. United States, on error from the United States court for the western district of Texas. The ra;l road company was fined $100 on three counts charging violation of the safety appliance law, which were sustained by the circuit court of appeals, and the defendant applied for a rehearing, which is denied. In denying the petition the court says:
 ''The hauling by carrier engaged in interstate commerce of car not fur nished with safety appliance re- quired by the laws of the United States is violation of statute which entitled the United States to recover penalty of $100, as the pen alty attaches for each and every such violation, it is recoverable for each and every car not furnished with the required safety appliance in violation of the act, whether the hauling be of several cars by one act, or by several acts, is immaterial, so that if several cars, each without the re- quisite appliances, are hauled by the carrier at one time and the same time there are several distinct yio- lations, for each and every one of which the penalty is due and recover able. One reason and weight of au- thority, it is considered that actions to recover the statutory penalties of the safety appliance laws in criminal proceedings are not required and the United States may recover upon the preponderance of evidence and the, trial judge may in proper cases di- rect verdict.

Improving outlook in iron and steel:

cellent crop advices: and expanding mar

increasing American credit balance

ing to spend SIS. .000, 600 In the next few

are signs OF a forward movement tha
serve to inspire confidence among bust
ness mon In all branches OF trade and
inquiry In spite Of the fact that the vol
ume OF transactions is still below the
point of normal output.
Recent improvement in iron and steel
has become more pronounced, with the
result that the future outlook is now
viewed with optimism. Tho tendency TO
greater activity has been confined chief
y TO finished material markets, yet signs
are not lacking OF some revival Of de-
mand for pig iron. Reports from east
ern territory suggest that buyers are dis
playing more interest
Fair-sized mall orders are being re-
Ceiyed for boots and shoes, but In gem
eral business is not as good as when
buyers were personally inspecting the
market. Prices are firmly held and tho
new discounts demanded by the tanners

In the dry goods market competition
for business is keen and buyers are pro-
ceeding with deliberaton.
Jobbers are doing steadily expanding
business In domestcs. prints. glnghans

does not expand materially.
