compelled the writer to ask himself
the searching question whether it was

ABSCESS IS REMOVED
FROM COL. ROOSEVELT

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-Theodore
Roosevelt's condition was favorable
today. The former president, whose
operation for an abscess few days
ago, was made public only last night
after his removal from his Oyster Bay
home, rested comfortably here during
the past twenty-four hours and 1t was
predicted this morning that he would
be out within a few days. Meanwhile
he has cancelled speaking engage
ments in Boston, Des Moines, Milwau-
kee and Detroit.
The abscess developed from a fever
which he contra cted during the Span
ish-American war and becoming ma
lignant on his Brazilian journey a few
years ago, has since troubled him at
various times. 1t was said today that
the operation would effect a perma-
nent cure.

Spanish-American war, but there was
nothing in that war which compelled
re-examination of the basis of his
belief. A large part of the impetus OF
that war arose from the unchristian

PREMATURE REPORT
OF SIMPSON TRACT

The Citizen yesterday reported
about the prospects for ore discovery
on the Simpson land, north of Baxter
Springs, as being rather doubtful ac-
cording to the reports given to one Of
its representatives. The fact later as
certained is that not enough develop
ments have ben carrid on this tract
to reach such conclusion.
There was only one hole drilled on
this tract before the lease was forfeit
ed from the previous lease holders
and the new owners of the lease have
only sunk one hole and ar at the l2O
foot level in the second hole. Many
tracts in the field have shown more
blank holes than half q dozen and yet
have proven to produce rich ore. We
are glad of the opportunity to make
this correction.

LEGISLATION

Noting the efforts Of past years to-
ward the enactment Of Legislation re-
lating to the development Of the wat
er power of the Nation, the Secretary
Of Agriculture, in his annual report,
says that ut becomes increasingly ur-
gent that amendments to existing law
be made and that q well-rOunded
policy be decided upon." The report
continues:
"The present industrial situation,
and particularly the scarcity and high
cost of fuel and construction mater
ials, have increased the cost of steam
power and make it highly important
that action be taken ut the next ses-
sion of Congress. Legislation which
will make it possible to safeguard the
public interests, and at the same time
to protect private investors, should
result in securing cheaper water pow
er and in conserving the coal and fuel
supply. Since three departments OF
the Government are vitality concerned
in watcr-power legislation and its
possible terms would be vitality affect
ed by the administrative handling Of
matters under such legislation, it
would seem feasible to devise an ex-
ocutive body on which the three de-
partments will be represented and
which will be able to utilize to the
best advantage all their existing
agencies"
