j. T.. Morgan, money king and trust
magnate, has testified that he contrib
uted $i5O.0O0 to the Republican cam
paign fund of 1904 "for the good of the
country and the business OF the peo
pie" The only trouble is Morgan's
idea as to what Is "for the good of tn,
country, etc." does not agree with
peoples conception as to what is foI
the public welfare, Very few people
believe with Morgan that the absorp
tion OF the Tennessee Coal a Iron Co
by the Steel Trust, In which he was In

country"

EXPORTERS
Advised To accept Methods
Of South Americans


Washington. Oct. 1O-The echoes of
John Barretts appeal to American
business men to wake up and reach
out for the great trade Of the southern
American hemisphere, in view of the
early opening of the Panama canal,
are still reverberating through the ex.
ecutive department buildings of the
national capital, and II is believed that
what he said on his return from Eu-
rope, where he was brought face to
face with the highly organized COM
mercial mechanism whereby that con.
tinent is strengthening its hold on
South American trade, will result in
unusual efforts on the part of the fed
eral government to induce the Ameri.
can exporters to study the people to
our south, and try to secure a fair
share of their trade.
"The government has already done
much" said high official of the de.
partment, "but 1t has been unable to
awaken the interest Of the American
explorer, who neglects that great field,
or, If not neglecting 1t, offers his goods
in such way as to run counter to
South American customs and preju.
dices. In the first place, our exporters
| do not send into that country travelling
men who speak Spanish. In the second
place, they do not publish their cata.
logues and price lists in Spanish, nor
state their prices in the Spanish coin
values. In the third place, they do
not consult the preferences of the
South Americans in packing goods
In the fourth place, they do not cater
to the South American custom of long
| credits.
But why continue? The list OF
American omissions so far as South
American trade is concerned, Is long
one, and in consequence, notwithstand
ing the fact that we are constantly
looking for an extension of our foreign
markets, so as to dispose of our sur
plus goods. we utterly neglect the sim
pie means which would entitle us tC
share in the rapidly growing trade ol
South America, already aggregatine
many hundreds of millions of dollars Q
year.
"The department of commerce anC
labor, however, will continue its ef
forts to have American exporters see
the importance of this great market
right at our doors, and it may be tina
by the time the canal Is ready for use
We shall have come to understand
something of the means which must b,
adopted II that market is to become
our own.
"Mr. Barrett's advice, given afte
his recent tour through Europe, wa,
timely. 1t was spoken, too, by a mal
whose official position gives him tn,
right to speak on that question, and
sincerely hope that what he has salt
will add considerably to our depart
ment mail, by inducing American ex
porters to write us asking for informa
tiOn concerning these southern mar
kets and how best to reach them"
! 1t is Mr.. Barrett's belief that II tn,
, American exporters do not get bus.
within the next decade Europe will
have entrenched itself so securely a
to make dislodgment quite out of tn
question. The opening Of the canal
he says, will stir further interest IL
southern trade, and perhaps drive tn
! American exporters to combine for tn
purpose OF getting a share OF It,

FACTS SPEAK LOUDER THAN
WORDS.

Mr.. Roosevelt testified before the
campaign fund investigating commit
tee that he knew that II. G. Frick
contributed heavily to the Roosevelt
campaign fund In 1904. Mr.. Frick is
one of the strong men in the Steel
Trust. 80 are j. Pierpont Morgan and
George w. Perkins.
Roosevelt said no contributions were
accepted with the expectation OF fav-
Nors. Everyone familiar with Big Busi-
ness and Big Politics knows that IL Is
not customary to specifically hang "ex.
pectations" on campaign contributions.
Things aren't done that way and 1t is
quite likely that Roosevelt ordered the
return OF the contribution OF the man
who asked to be appointed minister to
Belgium. He was Grass amateur and
game.
Whatever Roosevelt may say and
there Is no one in American public
life who can protest more vociferous-
sy--there are few facts that speak
for themselves, well worthy OF the con.
sideration of the American people.
Judge Parker charged In 1904 that
che corporations were financing Roose.
Velts campaign. Roosevelt In char
sicteristic outburst declared that the
Judges charge was "atrociously false. .
Well, the present investigation has
proved conclusively that the corpora.
lions did finance the Roosevelt cam.
paign.
John 'Pierpont Morgan and II. G..
Frick, each contributed more than
100000 to the Roosevelt campaign.
Hartman and his associates contrib
uted $25O.0O0. Morgan and Frick were
che big men In the United States Steel
corporation. II Is not charged that
they asked any favors when they gave
she money. They knew the game too
well. Az far as the record shows, they
were high.minded patriots who wanted
70 see great man chosen president.
But along In 1907 Morgan and Fricli
and the other Big Men OF the Stee
Trust decided that they wanted the
Tennessee Coal Il Iron company. They
needed that company In their business
Hut the Tennessee Coal a. Iron was do
ing very well and did not want to b'
swallowed up by its huge rival
Then the Morgan and Frick inter
sests-that's the way they refer to tn,
combination In Wall Street.-The Nor
san and Frick interests went to thel
great and good friend and asked per
mission to take over" It's fast gOrw
ing rival, President Roosevelt gav'
the desired permit and the Steel Trus
went ahead and gobbled up It's helpless
e'ival.
Roosevelt may protest and prOtes
and call every one In the country
liar, but those are the facts.
Morgan gave $i5O,OOO. hut did no
express any expectations" Thre
years later he asked "permisslon" /,
absorb rival and the president CAV,
him permission.
Facts are facts. Words are tn
cheapest commodities In the world

SIDNEY ]. BOWIE:
 |NDORSES KNOX Believes O'Neal Could Find None Better to Succeed
 Judge Simpson

Montgomery, September 12-(Spe- cial. )-Sidney J. Bowie of Birmingham believes that Governor ONeal could not find q more able lawyer in the state to fill the vacancy on the supreme court bench than John B. Knox of Annis- ton.
 Mir. Bowie came down from Birming- ham today to see Governor O'Neal on private business and declared in the course of his conversation to a group of friends at the capitol that he should like to see MT. Knox appointed on the bench to succeed the late Associate Justice Robert T. Simpson.
 T consider John B. Knox one of the ablest lawyers in the state,' declared MT. Bowie and in my opinion the governor supreme court vacancy. His ability is recognized not only in this state out in other states throughout the south, and 1 am confiden. that if he were appointed he would fill the office in most ac- ceptable and creditable manner
 MT Bowie said that the Birmingham oar had not united upon any one candi- date, declaring that the lawyers Tn that city wanted the governor to name for the vacant office the biggest man available. He said that there was a strong senti- ment in Birmingham in favor of Mir. Knox, and that %S thought nis appoint ruent would be acceptable to tho majority of lawyers of that city.

SICKLES' WIFE A
 FRIEND IN NEED

New York, September 12-The per sonal effects of Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, civil war corps commander and for mer United States minister to Spain, will not, as the general had feared, go under the hammer of Sheriff Julius Hamburger to satisfy a judgment of about sS000, which a trust company held against the aged soldier.
 General Sick1es wife, who was a belle in the court of Spain when the veteran wooed and wed her in Madrid in 1871, and from whom he has been parted for more than 27 years, today visited the offices of the trust company and satisfied the judgment. She did this, 1t was learned, through the sacrifice of valuable jewels sne possessed. some of which she had worn when a girl before General Scklrs met her in Spain. During the tune she has been sstranged from her husband Mrs. Sickles and her son have lived with in a stones throw of the generals Fifth avenue home.
