heard little. The country has known
for some months that from some
quarters in Wall street Roosevelt was
receiving support. The question has
been how important these quarters
were and whether the support was
really sincere or intended to kill
Roosevelts chances by putting upon
him the stamp wall streets candi-
date" With the lining up of these i'm
portant interests in the financial dis
trict in Roosevelt's favor this doubt
has been dispelled. The dark eyed lit
tie banker who has taken a leading
part in this change in attitude Is not
well known to print, but is one Of the
seven American princes Of finance"
In common with the other leaders

sonal dislike for Roosevelt. But he

It must be cotton by giving the people

WALL ST. FOR ROOSEVELT.
Bitter Opposition to Ex-Presiden'
Said to Have Been Withdrawn.

Theodore Roosevelts bitter and
most powerful enemies In Wall stree,
have capitulated. Within the past ter
days, following a series Of conferences
at Oyster Bay between midnight and
dawn, the whole complexion Of the
presidential campaign has changed.
| Not far Off Broadway, in the New
York financial district, stands one OF
the nations largest banks, controlled
by perhaps the wealthiest family In
the country. To the management OF
this bank the mention Of the name OF
Roosevelt at any time during the past
four or five years has been as the rub
bing Of salt into an open wound.
When, at the last state election. New
York was handed over bag and UNI
brella to the Democrats, one Of the
controlling directors Of the bank, In
voice atremble with emotion, said:
1T was an awful price to pay, but II
was a case of doing anything to get
rid Of that 'rabid hereto once for all" !"
has now declared itself in favor Of
Roosevelt. predicting that he will be
nominated and elected.
The explanation Of the tremendous
transition in the attitude Of the power
full business group which, up to ten
days ago, looked upon the ex-presi-
dent as the most threatening spectre
on the business horizon, Is this: 1--WE
have decided to support Roosevelt be-
cause in spite of all of our former
hatred Of the mans personality, he is
the only man in sight who can give
the country the four years Of tremen-
dous prosperity for which all funda-
mental conditions are ripe.
"If we are going to have prosperity
for the next four years. the railroads
of this country must have a moderate
increase in rates. There is no market
for railroad securities to-day, except
at impossible bargains. That Is be-
cause, with the increase In wages and
taxes, and with the decreases in rates
under government regulation, the in
vestor no longer has the assurance Of
security Of railroad earnings that will
make certain even fair return on his
capital. For that reason the investor
has turned almost entirely to indus
trial issues, which yield per cent or
Z per cent. This change in American
investment conditions is momentous.
1t means that unless greater assurance
Of security is given to the railroads by
the government the railroads will be
unable, in the future, to sell their
bonds except at prices which mean
that such profits as the road may
make will be eaten up by interest
charges. That would mean that the
vast capital requisite for the develop
ment of the country in the next ten
years will not be invested.
Theodore Roosevelt Is the only
man who can convince the people of
the United States Of the fairness Of the

and a sharp knife, and so to hang and
choose whether he would cutie himselt
down and fall into the sea or hange

Among the rules issued by Raleigh
for the governing Of his South Ameri-
can expedition in 1917 was that no ma
should be allowed to gamble for his
arms or clothes, ION the pain Of being
disarmed and made a swapber or the
ship" A general punishment for
blasphemy at this time was for the Of
fender to be bound to the mainmast
with an iron bit between his teeth. the
alternative being a scraping OF the
tongue. All sorts Of old and frequent
ly hideous punishments are to be
found described in old manuscripts. In
1775 a man found drunk aboard or
ashore was taken care Of until the fol-
lowing morning, when, in the presence
of the ships company, he was present.
ed with a pint Of salt water, which he
had to drink.
The dreaded "cat" Is probably the
best known Of these old naval punish
ments. Whipping was provided for at
least as long ago as the fifteenth CEN
tury, and in brakes time the regular
trouncing Of the ships boys by the
boatswain on Monday morning was
regarded as the only means of insuring
a fair wind for the rest of the week.

Fellow craftsmen, the newspaper
has fought the good fight for a sound
progressive policy. The standpatters
tell us that our hard earned primary
has broken down at its first trial.
They are seeking for pretexts with
which to confound US, for we know
that the child must crawl before 1t
can walk. and walk before 1t can run.
They tell US that popular rule has
brought intemperance Of speech and
mischievous agitation: but we know
that in apathy and dry rot lurk. the
real dangers to the republic. Nobody
need feel discouraged. There will be
a cyclone Of debate between now and
election. time-on November there
will be a downpour Of ballots and on
the day after the sun will shine-God
will reign-and the government at
Washington will still live. The germs
Of death hide in the stagnant pool, not
in the running stream.
I am preaching the gospel Of dis
content. "A noble discomfort" furnishes
the impulse for every great for
ward movement. Let us not be con-
tent as newspaper men with the part
we are now playing In the crusade of
civilization. Let us throw in our lot
with the progressive forces in the ef-
fort to establish a new order in which
the people shall he free because they
know the uses Of freedom and not
because a elf-constituted ruling class
is willing to vouchsafe a measured
freedom Let us sink or swim, survive
or perish, as a people fit for self-rule.
Let us plant our feet firmly on the
modern acceptation of the ancient
doctrine:
"Ye shall know the truth and the
truth shall make ye free"

MYSTERY OF A LOST SHIP.
One Boat That 1Passsd in the Night"
Mysteriously.

Mysteriously.
The big freighter Naronic was one
of those boats whose fate the inso-
lence Of the Atlantic kept secret, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. The Naronic
on the day of her launching was the
largest and strongest ship Of her class
in all Of the merchant navies. Twin
screws, then an innovation In freight
ers, gave her tremendous power. Eight
bulkheads were counted as the perfect
protection for her hull. The biggest.
safest. swiftest sea carrier was what
shipping men called her. The Mar
onic made six round trips from Liver
pool to New York, justifying the
boasts Of her owners on each trip.
Then one day In February she nosed
out of her berth on the Mersey full
laden and fully manned, bound for
New York Capt William Roberts was
her commanding officer; a crew Of
sixty worked her, and fourteen cattle
men were hooked as passengers The
5,7S0-ton ship was weeks overdue
when the first whisper of disaster
came shifting In from the Atlantic.
The British steamer Coventry put into
Bremen, out of Fernandina, with word
that when about 500 miles southeast
Of st. Johns, Newfoundland, It had one
morning passed a lifeboat, riding bot
tom up on the long swell. The name
on the stern Of the capsized boat was
hidden by the water. Later on the
same day the Coventry passed a Sec
ond lifeboat, floating upright but al
most awash. A sea anchor, made OF
oars and a spar, was dragging astern
at the end Of the painter. On the stern,
just above the wash Of the waves were
the black letters 'Naronic." The wa
terlogged iifeboat was unoccupied. No
other trace Of the Naronic was found
until five months later, when another
of her lifeboats was picked up of
Azores. This, too, was empty, says
Harper's Monthly.
Steamship men tried to reconstruct
the moment Of disaster that had blot
ted from sight this biggest and safest
boat Of her class. The place where the
Coventry had sighted the drifting life
boat was approximately 1000 miles
northeast of New York and twenty
five miles south Of the eastbound win
ter track across the Atlantic. There
could not have been a collision, be-
cause no other boat plying In the vi
cinity had been missed, not even
Banks fisher. Icebergs had not been
sighted on the winter track. subse-
quently 1t was not probable that the
Inflated steamer had rammed one In
a fog or snow squall. The sea anchor
on that second lifeboat sighted by the
Coventry gave the only faint support
of speculation.
Those oars and that bit Of spar
shipped over the stern. mute testi-
mony to some despairing effort Of
men in peril. meant only one thing-a
storm for no lifeboat could keep up
right in a winter storm on the At
lantic. A storm, then, It had been,
said the men who tried to read the re-
bus of the sea; such storm as raises
the waves of mid-Atlantic to height
of so, go even 70 feet from crest to
trough. The Naronic had been over
whelmed by one Of these waves and.
staunch as she was, had wallowed for
awhile, then dropped like plummet.

allowed to earn sufficient to prevent
the diversion Of capital from railroad
securities. He sees the position the
railroads are in. He appreciates the
attitude Of capital in its demand for
the security of fair return, and he
knows that with rates at their present
level there will not be invested in the
countrys transportation system in the
next three or four years the hundreds
of millions Of dollars necessary to pro-
vide adequate increase Of facilities.
If he is elected, he will work for a
moderate increase in railroad rates
