Col. Roosevelt became an editor OF the

appearing the Saturday after he left
the White House. Or. Lyman Abbott
said at the time that the Colonel and the
outlook had been cooperating uncon-
sciously for years. and that in the future
they would cooperate consciously.
At the same time Lawrence Abbott de-
clared emphatically that Col Roosevelts
contract did not require the magazine
to agree with him implicitly on all mat
tiers OF editorial policy. nor did II re-
auire tho Colonel to agree with tho Dat
look. Mr.. Roosevelts Introductory article
was on why I Believe In the Kind OF
Journalism for Which the Outlook
Stands" One OF the things he said he
admired about the outlook was Its "fine
,corn OF untruth In every form"
As a contributor Col. Roosevelt wrote
mostly on politics and economies. although
he occasionally turned his hand to re-
lisious topics. In the Outlook columns
he defended his course In bolting the
Republican party and explained tho pur-
poses OF the Progressive party. In gen
eral the Outlook has supported the Colo
neI's political reforms. No announce
ment Of his salary was ever made.

FREzroRr. L. l.. July 3.-Real life or
the stage can scarcely produce n more
dramatic episode than that which
thrilled spectators in the Coroners
court here this afternoon when Mrs.

by men whose faces questioned her

Calmly and certainly she gave to
Coroner Norton and Prosecutor Smith a
story OF her movements on the after
noon and the night Of the murder-a
cool and steady narrative in which the
prosecutors ingenuity could find no
palpable flaw. She admitted that she

She admitted that she had caves
dropped with a photograph. listening
with every nerve at strain while the
doctor talked to women patients. But
she was clear and emphatic In her
statement that she knew nothing about
the murder OF Mrs. Bailey and that
she was in bed with her night clothes
on when the shot was fired through
| n window of the doctors office at the
moment when the doctor had hand

In no way upon his wife as being con-

would not say what detective agency

thorities feel that by the time the in

enough evidence to cause an arrest. II
is probable that the evidence will be

Living Cost Remedies.

The high cost Of living is en-
eaging attention simultaneously
in Chicago and New York. After
studying the problem for two
wears a commission in New York
City has reached the conclusion
that the only practical way to
cut down the cost of living is to
enable the small retail dealer to
get his supplies quickly and
cheaply. It therefore recon-
mends that the city OF New
York proceed to build five whole
sale terminal markets market
for each of the five boroughs OF
that city. These municipal whole
sale markets, it is expected,
would reduce the excessive prof
it's of the commission men. The
report of the Chicago Commls-
sion on Markets comes nearer
the core of the problem, by show
ING that the consumer must be
SHARED from excessive earnings,
not alone of the wholesaler and
iobber, but of the retailer as
well. Private Investigations in
this and other cities have shown
that the retail dealer frequently
makes 300 per cent profit on food
articles, especially seasonable ar
ticles, like fruits and vegetables.
The sentiment is growing that
we have too many retail dealers
and that the consumer pays for
this. And this sentiment seems
justified. The theory that the
larger the number of small deal
ers the cheaper the consumer
will get his foodstuffs, because
Of competition among them for
; trade, has long ago been knock
ed into a cooked hat. The fact
of the matter is that these retail
:. dealers cannot compete with each
! other. They may occasionally
lower the price on a single artl.
Gle for a day to attract trade. In
the main, however, they upholc
e each other in the matter of prices
lust as effectively as if they hac
: been combined and had an un
e derstanding to that effect. Wha'
; is likely to lower the cost of liv
!, ing materially is the elimination
a of a good many of these small
a dealers. But how this is to b.
y accomplished is a question tina
/ is easier asked than answered. :
