Wall STREET r,cHrrSe WILSON

The following from Samuel G.
Blythe. an exceedingly wen posted
writer of national repute, in the Sat
urday Evening Post. is a very good
explanation of why Underwood's heavy
advertising bills are being SO well
paid:
Wilson took squirt about the first
of the year and went out in front
not because he had delegates actually
pledged to him, but because the SEN
timenf for him was strongest and most
widespread. 1t was Wilson against
the field Naturally Wilson's position
concentrated the opposition of all the
other candidates on him. They went
after him. hammer and tongs. They
forgot their own canvasses in the en-
deavor to head OFF Wilson And they
had pretty good success. 1t is doubt
ful IL the Harvey incident, or the Car
negie pension application incident, or
the JoIine letter incident had any such
effect as was expected, though each
may have hurt some. What happened
to Wilson was this: His taking the
lead In the race turned the specific at
fenfion of the Eastern half of the
country on him. 1t aroused the New
York business interests and they be-
gan to work in earnest--not business,
perhaps, in its broadcast sense, but big
business. These men who congregate
in the lower end of the city of New
York are fanatical in their opposition
to Wilson. They froth at the mouth
when his name is mentioned. The big
gest individual political ambition of
all those factions that have been for
years potentin politics, without being
actuallyin politics. is to defeat VIII
son for the nomination. They spread
out over the country as well as they
could, and the result was an apparent
check to the strength Of the Wilson
movement-that is, instead of allow
Ing Wilson to continue at a gallon
they pulled him down to a walk In
other words. they made it more diff
fcult for him."

D8y.
(Tampa Times.)


Wednesday. May l. is the day des-
ignated by Governor Gilchrist on re-
quest of the board of trade as post
care day This will be generally OBJ
served in the city of Tampa. The idea
was originated by Secretary Powell,
and has been copied by many states
and hundreds of citizens, so it develops
upon Tampa to set the pace and mail
thousands of cards.
1t will be remembered that last year
thousands of cards We're sent through
the mails on the day designated. The
result was good. many returns being
noted. The scheme was SO successful
that other cities have taken up the
project, not only in Florida, but in vari-
Gus states of the Union
Mail a Million That is the slogan
of the board of trade. From the inter
est that is being manifested, it is GER
tain that a million. and then some. will
be forwarded to northern people by
their friends in Tampa-each citizen
will send away as many post cards as
his finances will permit. 1t is neces-
sary that on each card there should be
written a missive telling of Tampa S
greatness, the city that does things
the fastest growing and best city in
the South. In order to be on the Job
the people should lay in their supply
of cards at once. The sooner the bet

ILL FEELING IN ENGLAND

The Titanic disaster has produced
International i'll feeling. The United
States Senate committees drastic
methods toward Ismay is resented in
England because Ismay is an English
man and the attitude adopted toward
him is regarded as a slur upon the
race
This is absurd. of course, but not
more absurd than the further notion
that the White Star Company is being
prosecuted because it is an English
corporation. Seeing that it is control1-
ed by the Morgan trust, this motive is
certainly far-fetched Certain savage
German comments on the disaster have
raised the anger to the boiling point,
however. The Voissische Zeitung de-
votes an editorial to a disproved story
of Wireless Operator Mcbride that al
though the Frankfurt was only fifty
miles away her help was refused be-
cause she was a German ship The edi-
torial then goes on to say:
From the moment the message ar
rived from the Carpathia the Titanic
telegraph considered he could give
the Frankfurt a contemptuouS dis
missal. His British arrogance cost the
lives of 1000 persons intrusted to Eng
lish responsibility. The disaster was
due to the sporting instinct ingrained
in the English people. unworthy of a
civilized power. Sport, betting and ar
rOgance all had disastrous influence
on the fate of the Titanic. but AFRO
gance most of ALL
The effect of all this is to put Eng
lishmen on the defensive, and an Eng
lish court of inquiry will make an open
investigation under the influence of
that state of mind.
Lord Mersey. its president. is one of
the most eminent of the country's
retired judges and has had unique ex-
perienee in difficult and responsible
judicial Investigations. He was in
trusted with the inquiry into the ad-
mnistration of martial law in South
Africa, and has always shown himself
to be a fearless, impartial Judge

AN UNUSUAL EXPRESSION

E. G. B. Fitzhamon of Oaklands, Cal,
writes to the Pail Mall Gazette as fol-
lows regarding the Titanic disaster:
This thing Of boats for women,
stokers and stewards only does not
make a hit with me- We learn from
women survivors. in at least three
boats, that they bent to the oars be-
cause the crews of stokers. walters
and cooks did not know how to row.
Why should you and / remain on
board to drown like rats in a big iron
cage while stokers and stewards igno-
rant of oars or boats are escaping in
the guise of boat crews. I can vouch
for three of the Titanic's heroes as
having been strong. useful oarsmen
and powerful fellows such as lifeboats
need. The men I allude to are Major
Butt, John Jacob Aston and Jacques
Futre1le. 1t is heartrending that they
persisted passively when they were en-
titled to man one of the boats in which
women struggled at the oars Giving
ones life for women and children Is
one thing. Self-immolation for the
benefit of stewards and coal passers is
another"

REFUTED THE REPORT
Captain of the Mount Temple Indig.
naHtly Denies That He Let the
Titanic Sink Unaided

ST. Johns y. B.. April 2s.-The ru-
NOR that the steamer Mount Temple
was within five miles of the Titanic
when she sank and. without needing
signals of distress. steamed away, is
Indignantly denied by Captain Moore.
who was in command of the vessel
His statement is as follows:
I'VE received wireless message af-
ter midnight Sunday from the Titanic
stating that she had struck an iceberg
and to come at once. We turned about
at 1880 o'clock and steamed back to
the position given US, arriving there
at 4:3o. We encountered SO much ice,
however. that we stopped until day
light. We cruised about but could not
see any sign OF the ship. About a.
M, on the other side of an immense
field of ice, studded thickly with bergs.
We saw the Carpathia. We also saw
the Californian. which was to the
nOrthward of us, steaming west, then
coming down to the southwark and she
met US. She did not communicate any,
thing. AT s:46 O'Clock. ships time, We
received a general message that the
Carpathia had picked up twenty boats.
We asked il they wanted assistance.
but got no reply. Shortly afterward
We received another general message
stating nothing more can be done, no
need to stand by We then left the
scene and proceeded on our way.
Capt Moore said that as soon as he
started toward the Titanic he called all
hands on deck and Immediately put
them in readiness for service. When
he turned his ship and rushed back
among immense ice fields he said he
had on board 1,461 passengers besides
his crew. Nevertheless he AYERS that
he promptly answered the call for
help.
