"Reeords" That Dlsaoree.

When an enterprising reporter
asked Theodore Roosevelt whether he
would Issue statement after he had
"digested the governments petition"
Mr.. Roosevelt said: 1T might inter.
est you to look up my testimony be-
fore the congressional committee in
August. To what | said then have
nothing to add" Yet all that he said
then was that he was sure he acted
wisely In the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company matter, that he did what he
did In order to stop the panic. and
that he accepted unreservedly and
without investigation everything that
Gary and Frick said. This habit Of
appealing to what he calls "the rec.

WILL FAIL OF EFFECT
PROTEST OF STEEL CORPORA.
TON IS ABSURD.
Workmen Have Not Been Benefited,
but the Reverse, by the Opera
tlons Of the Giant Company
Figures Prove II.

Mr.. Gary, OF the United States
Steel corporation, is a wonderful bus
iness executive, as also is Mr.. Car
negie, but at times both make some
exceedingly trite utterances. Subse-
quent to the suit against the corpora
ton Mr.. Gary was quoted:
If any harm results, It will fall
upon the stockholders and employees,
aggregating very large number, and
any loss to them must be deplored."
Neither was It especially original
In Mr.. Carnegie to express solicita-
ton for the stockholders when the
even tenor OF s2S rails and 80 per
cent. of the steel trade generally was
disturbed. Professed consideration for
stockholder and employe has long
been clause In the trusts decalogue.
Hence the criticism of these geLtle-
mems comments as trite. Somehow
or other this worry over what will
happen to the employe vaguely re-
minds us of the familiar shihboleth,
Let us alone" which was last ex-
pressed by Mr.. Morgan's man, Per
kins, in his Big Business speech at
Detroit.
But to return to Mr. Gary. In the
one sentence quoted may be found
the kernel of the nations protests
against the trusts and the tariff from
which they have sprung. Shifting the
blame, shifting the burden. shifting
the loss-are familiar enough to re-
quire no comment. Each time the
tariff has been threatened or an Ell
fort made to enforce the Sherman
law. the placard-"rememher the
workingman"-has been held up In
warning. It is of close kin to the
Standard Oil zines of several years
ago, when retail prices were raised in
Feeping with the courts sentence. II
ranks with the American Tobacco
company's solution Of the Spanish.
American war taxa reduction In the
size OF the packages, which size has
never been restored.
And the tariff, surely, by this same
reasoning, is for the benefit of the
workingmen-for the trusts en-
ployes especially; that is why the
trusts have clung so tenaciously to
the good old standpat schedules. That
the trusts themselves prospered was.
OF course, merely Incidental. Now
comes the employe as the great suf.
ferer by trust dissolution. The United
States Steel corporation points to its
system of profit sharing and PEN
sioning, to its beneflcent treatment
of the thousands on Its pay roll Yet
In this connection we recall the find

showed that from the time of the cor,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Deafness is caused by sA inaamed con-

PRESIDENTS SON FIGHTS
Revolvers Used at Havana Be-

Havana, Aug. 14.-There was re-
volver fight at II o'clock tonight in
front OF the Hotel Inglaterra, between
Miguel Gomez. a son Of President Gomez.
and Congressman Andre, editor OF "El
Dia." a newspaper which for several
weeks has been making bitter personal
attacks upon the President and his ad-
ministration.
Both men emptied their revolvers, but
all the shots went wild, and apparently
none OF the spectators was injured a
vast crowd gathered. but was dispersed
by the charges Of the mounted police.
Neither combatant was arrested.
Young Gomez alighted from a palace
coach close TO the Hotel Inglaterra. In
which Senor Andre was having supper
and Immediately opened fire with an au-
tcmatic pistol. Andre. rising from the
table, drew his own revolver and re-
turned the fire. whereupon Gomez fed,
re-entered his coach and drove away.
There is intense excitement over the
afray. Young Gomez recently returned
10 Havana from London, where he went
as special attache of the Cuban Legation
at the coronation Of King George.
Recently there have been statements
freely made that Andres life was not
worth a moments purchase, as young
Gomez went around well armed

Monkey Taking His Kite String
Cause of Serious Accident.

late yesterday afternoon on the roof

and began to run and caper about.
Presently the kite attracted the monkey,
and it ran gayly over and grabbed the
string away from the astonished six
year-old boy. Like fash the little
simian darted away, and nimbly went
over the edge of the roof and down the
gutter pipe.
Little Joseph ran 10 the edge Of the
roof. He was all excitement and as he
leaned far over TO try to see what the
monkey was doing he lost his balance
