Day Rockefeller's Champion Says Degeneracy is Made Contemptible By Revela tions of Glaring Incon sistency of Chief Booster SYRACUSE, N.Y.—That the Stand ard Oil company remains under tho venomous hatred of President Roose velt, for reasons best known on the inside, while the steel corporation, the greatest trust in America, re ceives his approbation and consent to increase its holdings, was the statement of Chancellor James Ros coe Day, of Syracuse University. The chancellor charges that not only did Roosevelt, when a candidate tor president four years ago, hobnob with trust magnates and urge them to secure money to elect him, but that after his election he appointed to a position in his cabinet a man who held at the time a retaining fee from a large corporator, that man being still a member of the cabinet. The interview follows: "The things that I predicted more than two years ago, and that are on record, have come true, and ether sequences art hurrying to their conclusion. "Never has this country known such a condition politically. Never has it seen its president descend to such a shameful degeneracy of de magogy. Most of its high moralities far above trusts, which it considers the sum of all villiany, are made con temptible by revelations of ‘.he glar ing inconsistency of the chief boos ter. WHEN PRESIDENT WAS PRACTICAL. "For Senator Foraker to procure a loan for political iriends who wish to purchase a paper for contesting the election shocks Mr. Roosevelt. But the president was very ‘practical’ when he wanted $260,000 to put it where it could do most good when his election was involved. What was such a great sum to be used for? “It is a sign of political corruption for Senator Foraker to have cor responded with an officer of the Standard Oil company, but only the direction and privilege of Mr. Roose velt to call to Washington a practi cal’ man, the head of the greatest railway corporation in the land, to confer with him before he announced his ‘policies’ to congress. The Standard Oil remains under Mr. Roosevelt’s venomous hatred for rei vgvis weli-known on the inside, but the greatest trtia* l —in Amerioa re ceives his approbation and consent to increase its holdings. "A representative of ‘predatory wealth' is intimate counsel and in co-operation with Mr. Hitchcock until discovery becomes inevitable. Then he is forced to resign, not because of the sin. but the sure discovery of it by political enemies. “The glass houses seem to be cracaing with ominous sound. The Foraker-Archbold incident is shock ing to hypocrites. But honest and thoughtful men who are not hiding facts to promote a cause, remember the conditions of brigandage in the legislature when every state ‘held un' industrial and transit corporations, and demand their money or their lives. FULMINATIONS NOT CONVINCING. “Fortunately the fulmination from the White house carry on conviction. So prejudiced, unfair and untrue are they. They are humiliating, not became they are from Mr. Roose velt, hut because they are from the president. The office is degraded. The people are covered with shame. 'The little postmasters are re moved for engaging in politics. The most of the business of the presiden tial office is devoted to a political campaign. Cabinets are called. In terviews are furnished, telephone and telegraph wires are kept hot, the clerical force is worked far into the night—if the newspaper special cor respondents are to be believed—and our square deal president is chafing at the bit to go on the platform. "I know that no corporation resist ed this mulcting more successfully tnan Standard Oil. "Charges against Mr. Foraker for pra-Hlcing a > an attorney when in of fice is absurd. The very salary paid a senator proves that the country ex pects him to employ his spare time in some legitimate business. “The eyes of the American people are opening wide. They are not all deceived. What they need i* to ex ercise themselves In the judicial tem perament. They are too ea -m stamp eded by the frenzy of the mad re former. "The American citizen cannot re turn too soon to Constitutional gov ernment and the re-enforrement of business with hla confidence." LITERARY SOCIETIES AT EMORY MET EMORY COLL.FOB, Oxford.

TOW'S POLITICO IIEIIIS Slim Mr, Bryan in his speeches in South Dakota asked a lot of questions to be put to Mr. Taft, who will stump the state today. Ex-Senator Pettigrew told Mr. Bryan he had reason to believe that the republicans are financing Tom Watson's populist campaign. Mr. Watson telegraphed that if anyone ever offered Pettigrew SIO,OOO for ten speeches on any earthly subject, that person “was more liberally supplied with money than sense.” Mr. Taft was well received in Minnesota, speaking in good voice, with overcoat collar turned up because of snow. When an aged woman indorsed one of his statements he gallantly referred to her ns prob ably the head of a family of sturdy sons. Laughter convinced him that he had made a hit until he was told that the woman was unmarried. Herman Ridder, the new treasurer of the democratic national com mittee, said he hopes to find 500 democrats who will give SI,OOO each to the campaign fund. Law'yer Walker, who reported the relations of Charles N. Haskell in the Iver case to President Roosevelt, produced affidavits by Haskell flat ly contradicting each other. Chairman Hitchcock refused to discuss his figures on Taft plurali ties in Western states, but said they were very conservative. He de clared every eastern state would .go for Taft.

WHITE PLAGUE MILLIONS Aside From Health Aspect Tuberculosis Drains Country of Immense Sums Annually. WASHINGTON, D.C.—The notable gathering of scientists making up the intor-inational tuberculosis congress at its sixth triennial convention as sembled, continued today their war fare upon the modern scourge. Nu merous papers were read before the different sections of the assemblage, addresses were delivered and stub born questions of physiology unravl led. One of tho papers that made a de cided impression upon the hearers was that read by Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal indus try ol' the United States, entitled, “The Economic Importance of Ani mal Tuberculosis.” In part Or. Mel vin said: "Statistics of the United Stales meat inspection for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, covering 53,973,337 anlrnalH, or more than oni half of all those slaughtered for fooil in this country show the following percentages of tuberculosis: Adult cattle 0.961; calves, 0.026; hogs, 2. 049; sheep and goats, none The proportion of tuberculosis 1h prob ably higher in animals slaughtered without Inspection. "While (lie saving of human Ilf,- affords the highest motive for com batting tuberculosis, the prevention of financial loss Is alone a sufficient reason for undertaking the eradica tion of th> disease from farm ani mals. The financial loss on animals in which tuberculosis Is found in the federal meal Inspection is estimated at $2,382,423 annually and If the same conditions were applied to animals slaughtered without the federal ap proprUtion, the annual loss on all animals slaughtered for foo u m the l otted States would be increased to $4 104.433. Taking In account all the loss the annual figure would extend to at least $3,000,000. “The eradication of tuberculosis is largely a public health measure, and It Is only reasonable that tnos whose cattle are slaughtered should be paid an Indemnity.’ John A. Klngsborg, assistant seen*, lary of New York S'ate Charities, was a speaker before Section V., on the following topic: “Hygienic. Ho clal. Industrial and Economic Aspects of Tuberculosis.” Mr. Kingsburg stated that the sub jer» matter In his paper was ba*»d almost wholly upon facts which had corn* nnd<r his observation in bis work.
