Zig Order Placed for Ameri-

Be Used in Siberia
AMERICAN CAPITAL
GLADLY INVESTED
Campaign of Publicity on Enormous
Scale About to Be Launched for
Benefit of Russia's Unde-
yeloped Territory
by HOLLAND

New York, September 9.-(Special. LIN
the course of few months there is to be
demonstrated one feature of the recent
wonderful increase in the expectation Of
American manufactured products through
the shipment to Russia of cars, especially
especially adapted to refrigerating pur-
poses, which are to be made at or near
Chicago. The report is current here that
the Russian government expects to in
vest about S3,O00,O00 in American cars of
this pattern. Curously enough, they are
to be used on the Siberian railroad, re-
gion OF Russia where, by reason of ell
matte conditions, refrigerator cars would
seem hardly to be necessary. The proba-
bilities are, however, that this apparatus
will be used to convey from other parts
of Russia various kinds of pershaDle
foods, the refrigeration being necessary
not In Siberia, but in interior Russia.
Some of our greatest manufacturers
have long been Of the opinion that Russia
furnishes the best opportunity for the
marketing of American commodities to be
found anywhere in the eastern hemis-
phere George Westinghouse has long
been of that opinion, and he said recently
that the greater part of the electrical ap-
paratus of all kinds used in Russia Is
either Of American manufacture or man
ufactured in Europe in plants controlled
by American capital Some years ago
after the return of George w. Perkins
from ST. Petersburg, he spoke with en-
thusiasm of Russia as a market place for
farming apparatus of all kinds and .or
other American commodities Mr.. Per-
wins intimated his hope that there would
be no political or diplomatic friction
which would tend to impair markets for
American commodities in Russia.
Some Diplomatic Friction
Although there has been some diplo-
matte friction between the United States
and Russia, vet the Russian government
and the intelligent Russian people profess
to regard the people Of the United States
ith the most frendly sentiment. That
feeling is consistent with the attitude of
Russia toward the United States from
the time when we conquered our inde-
pendence until the days of the civil war.
Russia undoubtedly prevented, by indi-
rect diplomatic methods. the recognition
OF the southern confederacy by Great
fritain and by France. When the Car
OF Russia planned the construction of an
air line railroad from St Petersburg 70

Our Trade With Russia

There Is excellent authority for assert

within the next five years to find a.
largely increased market for their COM

by representatives CT the Russian govern

makes good" There is reported to De
not an instance of the marketing of
American machinery or apparatus in
Russia which has been followed by fail

manufacturers or the expectation of the
Russians.

GOVERNOR BREWER

Jackson, Miss. September 9--(Speclal)
Governor Brewer was in his office today
bright and early and found his big table
filed with letters, petitions, officials doc
uments, ETC.. to be signed or passed on.
while a score of .isitors patiently awaited
his or her turn for an interview. News
paper men predominated, but they got
little in the way of news and tarried but
a short while. The governor had spent
two days n Gulfport, having been sum
moned by the state a witness in the
Barber case, but says he was never
placed on the stand. He expressed no
opinion as to the merits of demerits of the
proceedings against the gulf coast attor-
ney.
Among those who awaited the coming
of the governor TO the capitol this morn
ing was Mrs. Tom Wallace and. two or
three small children. Her husband is a
convict In the penitentiary, but has been
recommended by the superintendent and
the trustees for discharge at the hands
of the governor on a showing of ',meri-
torious conduct in preventing the escape
of other convicts in putting out a fire
that threatened to destroy of the
cages on the farm, and for other reasons
The governor did not have time today
to go into the Wallace case.

THE DYING LOBBY

The Worlds exposure of the lobby
of the National Association of Man
ufacturecS shows how the country
has been governed. BY making com
mon cause with the lobby and the in
terests that employed the lobby, a de-
cadenr and Hannaized republicanism
was content merely TO register the de-
crees of monopoly.
It was this lobby which wrote and
enacted the Mckinley tariff. the Ding
ley tariff and the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
1t was this lobby which prevented
promised tariff revision downward by
republicans. 1t was this lobby which
brought about the veto of bills passed
by democrats and progressives to re-
duce the cost of living.
If it had not been for the denuncia-
ton of this lobby by President Wilson
and the prompt Investigation under
taken by congress. a genuine reform
of the tariff would not now be on the
eve of adoption The lobby has been
exposed and defeated. The Worlds
revelations are the final blow. And
we now have the presidents word
that sit has ceased to embarrass his
administration" There will be no
more Hobbies of this kind in Washing
ton unless the people at the polls
again yield to the influences that
thrive upon privilege and loot
