OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Oct. 31, 1901.
President Roosevelt is doing
sou** very hard thinking these days
and the results are by no means
reassuring. A month ago he had
no conception of the dilemmas a
man who desired above all else to
be true to his country, hi* party
and lus own chances of a second
term would find in the White
House. He is, however, having
those things thrust upon him. He
finds a growing demand in the
*\ve#t for a reduction of those sched
ule* of the tariff which are protect
ing the trusts and this demand is
‘being fed by such men as Babcock
to whom local issues and the man
of his own constituents seem to be
ali important. On the other hand
he finds that he is almost powerless
to effect any relief from present con
ditions. He is beginning to realize
that, after all, a president’s power
is limited in many ways and in
many directions.
The party leaders have, in re
spouse to the president request
bean coming to Washington and
moot of them tell him that it will be
impossible to secure any legislation '
by the coming congress that does
not meet with the entire approval of
the trusts. They tell him that while
reciprocity is excellent as “a talk '
ing point” it will not “go” with the ;
senate. They tell him that be !
must not try to effect any legisla- |
♦ion which will prove of advantage ;
to Cuba because the party is
pledged to protect tfie sugar inter
est* in 11 is country. On the other
hand he is too keen a judge of hu
man nature to minimize the danger
of permitting the coming,eminently j
republican, congress to push into j
history with a record of having in- |
variably either legislated or failed;
to legislate in accordance with the 1
drains of tiie vested interests.
Senator Aldrich,of Rhode Island, j
“read the riot act” to the president J
on tiie subject of those reciprocity
treaties and Mr. Roosevelt appre
ciates that practically all hope of!
tlu*ir ratification must be abandon- ;
ed. He also spoke very plainly on '
th* subject of Cuba and pointed to
the party platforms of the last de
cade as evidence that sugar iuter
. cste must be protected. Mr. Henry
P. Oxnard has been in Washington j
this week and has given notice j
that any legislation inimical to the
sugar interests will be met with a
bitter fight. Mr. R. C. Kerens, j
the member of the republican
national committee from Missouri,
:ahed at the white house and
•v. ,*lt with much stress upon the
western demand for taliff revision.
The president has, it is said, re
quested Secretary Wilson to go ont
west and try and forestall criticism
bated 011 the failure of the recipro
city treaties. At all events Mr.
Wilson left for lowa yesterday aud
befpre going he told me that he ffl
tevided to explain to the people of
lo\va the situation in regard to "the
continued need of protection” ad
th* true basis of reciprocity.”
The presieent has taken the bull
by the horns and instructed Secre
tary Root to try and gefc along
without sending any more troops
to ftfce Philippines to take the place
ofdfca.ooo men whose terms of enlist
ment are about to expire. 1 under
stand the president spoke pretty
plainly about the reports that had
been given out as to “pacification,”
etc., and also called attention to
the fact that that the Samar affair
showed a sad lack of precaution on
th* part of the officers.
The story of a very earnest cabi
net meeting held last week ha*
also leaked out. The story is that
the president opened the cabinet
meeting of last Friday with a few
very pointed inquiries of Secretary
Long in regard to affairs in the navy
department and the secretary had
to acknowledge a lack of personal
information aud no amount of trust
in his subordinates which was sur
prising. The president, so the
st*ry goes, immediately and per
emptorily demanded Admiral
Cfowninshield’s resignation as
chief of the bureau of navigation.
Secretary Long replied that Ad
miral Crowninshield had already
offered his resignation and that he
had remained at his, Long’s re-,
quest until after the Schley court
of Inquiry should reach a finding.
That did not effect the president.
He wanted the xesignation imme
diately. Finally Secretary Gage
stepped in as peace-maker and sug.
gested that perhaps a transfer that
would in the nature of a promotion
would satisfy the president’s de
mand without sacrificing Secretary
T.ong’s dignity. This was finally
acceded to and the result was the
admiral’s promotion to the com
mand of the European station.
The rumor is now current that
Admiral Crowinshield’s flagship
ill be manned by the men who
ere antagonistic tc Schley, at lea*t
the will.
The commission for codifying
the federal statutes will, I under
stand, report to the next session of
congress a law covering all attacks
on the president. It was found on
examination that in parts of the
country an attack on the president
which did not prove fatal could
not he punished and to remedy the
this peculiar condition this law was
drafted. The law concerns only
attacks made on the chief execu
tive as such, for any attack made
upon personl grounds would come
under state jurisdiction. The law
piovides that any threat againt the
j president, whether verbal or made
jin writing, shall be regarded as a
Lfelony and punishable by a fine of
$5,000 and any attack upon bis
personal, whether successful or
otherwise, shall meet with capital
punishment. The bill further pro
vides that aceessdrles before the
fact shad be held to an equal re
sponsibility with tha direct assail
ant
Great Interest i* being manifest
ed in Washingt n this Week in the
state campaigns. The efforts of
the better elemet of Philadelphia
to obtain a respectable city gov
ernment and fcfar* ttmgg 1* the
respectable element throughout
the state to throw off the yoke of
Matt Quay and republican machine
fe? attracting much attention. The
situation had become *0 bad in
Philadelphia that it became imper
ative ior the better element of the
republican party to join forces with
the democrat* in their struggle
against municipal corruption.
The Maryland campaign also
has a greater interest than would
be usual in an off year because of
the fact that if the state goes dem
ocratic it will meau the return of
Arthur P. Gorman to the United
States senate, and hi* election to
the senate would mean hia return
to a position very near the head of
the list of the democratic leaders
and, in th* opinion of some good
democrats, his nomination in 1904.
A Physician Testifies.
“I have taken Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure and have never used any
thing in my life that did me the
good that it did,’’says County Phy
sician Geo. W. Scroggs of Hall
County, Ga. “Being a physician
I have prescribed it and found it
to give the best results.” If the
food you eat remains undigested
in your stomach it decays there
and poison* the svstem. You can
prevent this by dieting but that
means starvation. Kodol Dyspep
sia Cure digests what you eat.
You need suffer from neither dys
pepsia nor starvatiom. The worst
cases quickly cured. Never fails.
BREAD FAMINE RIOT-
Guard* at Grain Warehouses Shoot
Men. Women and Children.
San Antonia, Tex**, Oct. 30. —
Advices were received here to
night of a terrible fight Monday
evening at Puruandiro, state of
Michoacan,Mexico, in which seven
persons lost their lives and over a
score more ware wounded. Men,
women and children were shot
down by guard* surrounding ware
houses filled with corn and meal.
The bread famine which ha* been
raging in that vicinity for the
past few months has gotten the
people into a turbulent atate and
many w*re on the varga of death
from *twrvtto.
Since the Mexican government
removed th* dnty from corn th*
latter product has bea concerned
by speculators. Ties prffee w*s
raised to so great an extent that it
was not within the means of the
poorer classes to buy. Their work
' would not be received in payment
for small quantitive of corn. Riot*
• have been brewing for some time,
and previous to Monday the auth
orities liad succeeded in keeping
the lower classes in cheek,
day morning large groups began
gathering, and soosn formed into a
mob and made an attack on the
warehouses. The children and
women in the front ranks were
shown ho pity, being mowed down
by bullets as w;ere the man.

The Reading of Boys-
Boston Herald,
The Providence Journal, speak
ing of the books for children that
are coming out in enormous sup
ply, presuming that many of them
are harmless, says that "young
minds appreciate the good in lit
eiature much more keenly than is
generally believed, and that an or
dinarily intelligent boy would get
far more pleasure, as well as pre
fit, out of Scott and Snakespeare
than he gets ont of the common
place stories of adventure so lavish
ly provided for him.” This lofty
ideal of the “ordinarily intelligent
hoy” is frequently expressed, but
we do not believe that it is well
founded. It it is. why do so few
boys read Scott aud Shakespeare
by preference? These works are
in thousands of homes, and all the
libraries, w here boys can get them.
Some boys do read them, but the
fame of their superior interest does
not spread rapidly among them.
According to our observation boys,
even those of rather superior in
telligence, do not often take to
Scott and Shakgspanre, unless they
are introduced to them bv having'
them read aloud aud talked about
at home or by older friends. How
many “ordinarily intelligent” men
and women read Shakespeare with
appreciation or know more of his
works than what they have learn
ed at school and the theatre? Boys
are not averse to talking with their
mates about the books from which
they derive most pleasure, and the
bov under 16 who is enthusiastic
oyer Scott and Shakespeare is a
rarity, and one who has uncom
mon maturity of mind.
The Childrens Friend.

Maybe you have one now. Your

Attractive Women,
All women sensibly desire to be

healthy woman is always attract

ery drop of blood iu the veias is
pure a beauteous flush is on the
cheek. But when the blood is im
pure, moroseness, bad temper and
a stliow complexion tells the tale
of sickness, ail too plainly. And
