' WASHINGT ON LETTER:
Fron our &eg vlar Cermpondeat
," rbntthentmofttvHdllation
and indcxinion has bjetn
shown by the President in
handling the "lily white"
r movement in the South is th1
j cpinion of all who have clone
jij obaerved his action in this
; connection. Apparently Mr.
Ro'wevelt hnsnbindoned the
enterprise as hopeless and is
now prepared to return to
the old custom of maintain
ing southern organization,
with its concomitants of col
ored Republican office hold
ers, etc. He has removed two
federal office holders in Ala
bama for their activity in e-
limine ting the neuro f r o m
the party councils and now
it is reported that he has re
moved District Attorney War
ren S. Reese for the pa m e
cause, for n considerable
time the President encourag
ed Senator Pritchard to be-
lieVe that he would have the
assistance of the federal ad
ministration in his project.
Senator Pritchard explained
most forcibly to the Presi
dent that the only hope of
building up a successful re
publican party in the south
must be based on the eliminn
tion of the negroand showed
him tint so long as republi-
canism'stood for negro office
holders the better element o'
tha south would vote demo
cratic regardless of their
convictions on national is
sues. Now, Mr. Roosevelt has
abandoned the Senator and
returned Jo his old customs.
That he has done bo is be
lieved to anger that he ex
pects to favor the restriction
of southern representation
in Congress and that he be
lieves he mast take the jtep
in order to solidifv the south
ern delegations to the next
national convention. Soon
after the Congress, it is said
Representative Dick, Crutn
parker and Dan Dayton will
be cnlled in conference with
the President and several
members of tjie Cabinet to
consider the subject ofrestric
ting southern representation
and it is for that reason that
Mr. Roosevelt has determine
ed to revert to the old negro
officeholder policy of hispred
ecessors.
The President's recent state
ment made-before the N e w
York Chamber of Commerce
that, "the growing com pie xi
ty of our social and industri
al life has rendered inevitable
the intrusion of the state in
to the spheres of work where
in it formally took no part,"
has attracted the marked at
tention of thedemoorats and
some republicans, who see in

the whole i prediction of at
least some measure of state
socialism. "Where will the
President draw the line?' ask
these gentlemen who evident
ly think the President is trea
ding on delicateground. 'Mr.
Roosevelt s iys there is on in
evitable tendency in that di
rection .but if he permits the
government to develop that
tendency, where can he stop
it?" "Isil not timeroriipit
in the find?" These are some
of the questions that are bee
ing asked and some of them
will doubtless ne put to the
President himself when he re
turns to Washington.
' "Insufficient time" will be
the excuse the republicans
will have for not repealing!
the duty on 'anthrnsite coal
ami altering many t a r i ff
schedules known to be entire
ly too high even to suit the
vast majority ol republicans
according to Representative
Grosvenor. Moreover, the
General says that there will
be no extra session, or words
to thnt eficct. There niay be
a difference of opinion be
tween the President and the
general on this score, ho we v
er, for it is stated by some
politicians who are verj
near to the President that he
regards an extra session of
the Fifty-eighth Congress as
inevitable torepublican suc
cess in 1904, in which Mr.
Roosevelt is very much inter
ested. Of course, he will not
commit himself for the pres
ent, but will keep'hU ear to
the ground, to use theexpres
sion of his political friends.
There are numerous indicn
cations that the pressure to
enact nnti-tiust legislation,
which will be brought t o
bear on Congress,! will he ex
ceedingly stroug, The Presi
dent favors it and is exceed
ingly anxious that some
means should be tuken to en
force publicity so as to pre
vent the floating of what is
called wild cat stocks on the
market. He is told, even by
some of the financiers, that
there is a grave element of
danger in this now common
practice and he appreciates
that the result, may . mean a
panic, which, if it were to
come shortly before election
time would be almost sure to
mean republican defeat. And
doubtless Mr. Roosevelt will
urge the enactment of a law
in line with Attorney Gener
al Knox's recommendations
at Pittsburg but that such a
law will be passed is consider
ed very doubtful. Some of the
bestd posted politicians in
Washington, however, s a y
that a compromise law will
be the inevitable result of the
present agitation and that
law will merely take the form
of enforcing the measure of

The Philadelphia District
Attorney has completed his
inveHtigation of the charges
brought anainst Senator
Quay for violation of the fed
ernl. law by soliciting cam
paign funds froin officehohN
ern. Of course the Attorney
General entirely vindicates
the Senator, who it seems
from his report, was in dense
ignorance of the fact thnt his
name was used. If the Sena
tor bad been less successful
in the manipulation of the
Pennsylvania election the At
torney might have found
differently.
The hnthuftinain with which
Henry Wnterson is backing
Senator Gorman as the coin
ing democratic leader is ocea
sionirig some surprise among
the friends of the veteran

do not regard him as sound

they say theman wh.) aspires
to lead the democratic party

man will promptly become
the leader o! the democratic
side of the Senate is the confl

It will doubtless prove a
source of disappointment to

Miss Dora Meeks quarreled
with her sweeeheart' on Sun

then went to sleep. She slum

known to science was tried In
an effort to awaken her and
failed.
During the entire time of
her sleep her pulse and res
peration were normal. The

their normal condition.
What puzzled t he phyicians
was her powerful power of re
sistance to their "remedies

show that she was largely
conscious of whae went on a
bout her.
As she tell- it now, she was
conseiout much the time but
when everything was quiet
her mind would wauded. All
of the time she was helpless
and unable to make a single
sign.
During her sleep the had
many wpnderful dreams.
The history of the case noes
back several years. She had
an aunt, according to re
ports, who was the victim ot
a long sleep and never fully
recovered her mental stren
gth. The girls father had an
attack of yellow fever in bis
soldier; days, and his nerves
had never recovered entirely.
Two years ago the girl
quarreled with Per sweet

was found in a wood lyinjr

An Election Joke.
A good story is being told
in connection with the elec
tion In Anderson county, S.
(J. The managers of the conn
ty precincts were greatly dis
tressed when they looked o
ver the ballots that had been
furnished them and found
none bearing the name of the
Hon. A. C. Latimer, for Uni
ted States Senator. The man
agers began telephoning to
the commissioner of Elee
t i oris at the court house ask
ing what was the matter. "It
is a trick." said one excited
manager over the 'phone.
"It's a trick of them durned
McLanrinites to cheat LatN
mer out of his seat." It took
a good deal of time and talk
to persuade the gentleman
that United Stales Senators
are not elected by the people
direct, but by the Generul As
semhly, and that Mr. Lati
mer was just as safe as if his
name appealed on every bal
lot that went iuto the box.
