The Independent newspaper* have winged morn eareastlo shafts at Mr. Roosevelt than at any of the Presi dents. John Adams fined and oast editors Into prison for much lees, and It has been well said that -If Teddy could do that the Jails would bp full.” Thla by way of Introduction to the remark of a New York paper. In con nection with r*tf White House labor dinned -The President, It seems, never Intended to ask all ths promi nent labor leaders—only six or eight —and, above all, the public will please take notice that this Is In no sense to bo an official dinner, but only a private one- The same newspaper adds: -The truth la that the Presi dent Is angry because John Mitchell, James Duncan and Daniel J. Keefe have declined to dine at the Wilt# House by royal command. Mr. Roose velt perceives that the whole dinner year, and their aggregate is about 8 percent greater than In 1107, and 2.4 per cent greater than the average of the preceding five year*. In quality, corn, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, flaxseed and hay are above the aver age of last year. HELP FROM THE ENEMY? Announcement that Andrew Carnegie will publish his views on the tariff question and volun teer his services as a champion of tariff for revenue only. Instead of a tariff for protection, has been received with interest by revis ionists. Mr. Carnegla has pre pared for a magazine a histori cal review of the subject, and in cludes an expression of bis per sonal views.—New York Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press. Although this will doubtless eauso incredulous ejnlles, it may be perti nently remarked that, after making many millions by charging for steel rails In this country a price nearly double what he charges for the same “°7j«rUel. «port«l to Eurot*-whlch high tariff and monopoly permitted at Mr. Gompers* control of the Fed eration of Labor.” And It Is perfectly well understood that the big stick Is aimed at Gompers because he had the brases assurance to declare publicly his belief that the interests of labor would be safer under Rryan as Pres ident than under Toft. For this he will never be forgiven by the august President of the Republican party. NOT “MERE PREJUDICE." "Prejudice, mere prejudice, with out the excuse of a valid reason.” walla the New York Evening Post, In discussing the Supreme Court’s decis ion upholding the Kentucky law for bidding the eo-eduoaUon of whites end blacks at Berea College.

Nov. 15.-One of the most gratifying features of the day Is the un mistakable revival of business in many directions. Of course. Improvement Is much more pronounced in some quarters than others, but the recovery Is most cer tainly genuine and not of tbe Imaginary sort talked about by last summer's "pros perity" boomers. There Is no extraordi nary prosperity nor boom In sight and none is desired; for the country has had enough of such and their disastrous re actions, and simply requires a gradual and steady resumption of normal actlvl* ties, such as It is now experiencing. All that the.country needs for the present Is to be let alone for a period In order to recover Its nerve and wonted activities. Where Recovery Is Found. If we look for the quarters In which re covery Is most pronounced we find It in the building and engineering trades. This was to be Arpcctcd. A great many Important enterprises wsre in course of construction or about to be Initiated when tho panic came. Trmse works, moreover, wero often very urgent In their character owing to the npitl growth of our great cities. Congestion of traffic end the great demand for m w homes and office buildings made many of these en terprises Imperative. The groat pressure that presidential election, has disappeared tho chief shackles upon Industry have been loosened. climax by any means; nml the figures t quoted show a surprising revival In Important Industry, foreshadowing a growing demand for steel and nil other building materials. The signs of recov ery extend also to other lines of butlnets. Cotton Goods Active. The cotton goods trade In much active than at any time since the panic, nnd liberal orders are being placed nt ad vancing prices. There arc fewer Idle cot ton and woolen mills thnn for many months.

The stock market suffered somewhat from a reaction, partly because the Har- rltnan lines failed to do what was expect ed by raiding Union Pacific’* dividend, providing for retirement of .Southern Pa cific preferred. The market reallyatook these disappointment* more seriously than was Justified. The truth Is that stocks had reached a level that made profit-taking exceedingly tempting and the Harrtman meetings slmplv marked the turn which had been much delayed. Stocks are now being quietly distributed, and care should be exercised In all pur chases. A very hopeful tons, however, pervades tho entire market, whleh Is en tirely Justified by Improvement fn busi ness conditions and by the better railroad outlook. Railroad traffic Is steadily re covering. and gross earnings for October thps far reported show a decrease of leas than 4 per cent compared with « per cent In September and IS to 22 per cent In the previous months of the current year. November returns will be much more satisfactory as to gross earnings, for traf fic will shortly return to the normal in volume: tn fact has already done so on some H?**• Railroad Situation. When lessened expenses "and better rates are taken Into consldsratioi be seen that the railroad outlook Is really exceptionally promising. This fact tM cheep* * ‘ _. of money chiefly account for the present high level of stocks; and no material recession can be expected un til underlying conditions change. While the preaent optimistic state of feeling lasts holdsrs art reluctant sellers, even when handsome profits are to be had for the taking. The downward turn will R robaMv come when the big • capitalists ave distributed their surplus holdings and when Interest rate* advance, as they certainly will with the Improvement in business ami ths Increased mercantile demand forfmontr. The election of Mr. Taft has materially stimulated the rite. Inasmuch as It removes an Important un certainty and assures the country a rest from unnecessary agitation. There seems to be almost universal satisfaction in the election of Ur.

I had. I remember a long conversa tion with you. when I first met you In connection with thla business. Cop ies of the pleadings In th* contempt ^ase were shown you and the sub stance of the evidence already taken narrated, together with the action of the certificate holders taken at the meeting and the course of proceeding of th* trustees carrying out tho pur pose of th* resolution to dissolve the trust, and a little later certified copies of the voluminous pleadings In the four cases above named, and the Interroga tories annexed thereto, directed to the officers of the four companies above named, were furnished and the history of each one of thoso companies and the relation of each to the Standard Oil Company of Ohio and of the oth^r organizations alleged to be member* of the trust (aome twenty In number) be came the subject of investigation at once by you. The importance of the litigation could hardly, from the stand point of the Standard, be overrated. Company Couldn’t Afford to Defy Law. The company In Ohio which had been ordered to withdraw from the truat agreement could not afford to permit itself to be put. nor could the gentle men who managed It permit themselves to be put In the attitude of defying the law. A heavy fine might have been imposed, a receiver might have been appointed, and the vast buslnese of the organization Irreparably Injured. Th* threo quo warranto case* then pending and the fourth one threatened, as already stated, and later begun, called for most drastic action upon the par? of the supreme court It Ita pudg- ment should be adverse. It was asked In each of the four quo warranto cases and such was a proper prayer that each of the four defendants be adjudged to have forfeited and sur rendered their corporate rights and fran chises. that they be dissolved and that the court appoint trustees to wind up their affairs and distribute their property. Why Foraker Wss 8ought. It waa upon a realisation of these se rious and disastrous consequences, well knowing your ability as sn attorney and the respect the lawyers and courts had for you throughout the state that sought your service. You entered at or actively* upon th# employment, making your own Investigations here In Ohio urn In New York, holding frequent consulta tions with myself and other counsel for the company. In Columbus, Cincinnati. New York and Washington. Your Judg ment was sought not only as to what had been dono ny the Standard OH Com-' nany of Ohio In Its effort to withdraw from the trust, but ntou ns to what form of future organisation of the great Inter ests of this company and of tho constitu ent companies should be token that they might not be open to any further attack. For more than a year testimpny was taken at various places, full transcripts of that evidence furnished you and sug gestions received from you aa to the lines upon which It .ought to be mot. The testimony having been closed, the contempt case was finally submitted to the aupreme court and In December. 1900, an entry wfcs made by the court, finding the defendant not guilty of contempt and dismissing the proceedings. A little later the four ouster cases were also dismissed, the dismissal of the latter cases being mado by the court at the suggestion of the then attorney gem eral. Judge Sheeta Your employment extended over l period of more than two years, during which time 1 was repeatedly In consulta tion with you and there was no phase of theelitlgatlon or which you were not fully abreast all the time, and your counsel was fully appreciated by my associate counsel and by my cllejit. and there never was a t “ part to i a particle of effort upon your So far from the attitude of the . com pany being one of a desire to evade the law or th# decree of the court It had faithfully endeavored to comply there with. and so far aa the Valentine trust law was concerned w# were not trying, by subterfuge or Indirection to evado It You understood perfectly our desire and co-operated with It to put those large properties ©n a basis of conformity to the decree of th# court and of the law. that they might be safely and securely held by their owners.
