Special to The Cnucasion. YVa.-hington, I). C., May 14, 1007.--I lic politicians are each day more ami more amazed at the unceasing ropu l;iiiiy of President Roosevelt. He is the only man in the history of the world who has been able to apial to Hm masses of the people to stand be Liiul him in a gigantic lat tie for great n forms, who has been able to keep the demands of the people from going too far, ami to hold their confidence at the Same time. The combined trusts and monopolies .f t he country are putting fortli vvery effort to defeat him and his policies. They exjK-eted to have most f the Southern delegates easy and then to divide the North and "West. ;nid thus capture the next National Convention and nominate one of their kiinl for President. Capital has always been blind. It does not seem to know that if they should beat Roosevelt that it would mean the early election of an extreme radical president, and that then the pendeluni would swing so far the other way that capital could not even get jii:-t ice. If they were even selfishly wise they would stand for the great American President who is for a "square deal" for capital, labor, producer, consumer and all of the people. Roosevelt For a Second Term. Frem present indications it will be almost a miracle if the President is able to j re vent the next convention from nominating him for a second term. Indeed he ought to bow to the wil of the people, regardless of his un wishes and desires. He has just begun the work. to reestablish equity "and justice. His enemies and some false friends have been trying to get 'iiim to repeat his election night state ment. They so fear a second term of Roosevelt that they would have the 1 'resident to do that which would ap pear cheap and undignified and which might prove to be unpatriotic in its effect. Iut the country is to be congratu lated that there is in the White House :i man not only with marked ability, murage, patriotism and force, hut also a man with remarkable wisdom and forsight to descern and to check the c hemes of the enemy. Ohio Behind Taft. The lining up of Ohio behind Secre tary Taft for President has forced the combined opjwsition to shift to .give their whole attention to the tow ering Secretary. Republican State Chairman Adams had, atfer an omi nous silence, just gotten up to the noint or declaring for Roosevelt "if " he should again be a candidate, when the great Taft boom spread over the horizon. Chairman Adams, who .is supposed to be against Taft. has not yet found speech. Many other Southern politicians of the machine type are in the same fix. They will of course try to get on the band wagon in some lame and belated fashion, when they take in fully the situation. But what the reactionary forces who have been counting on some of them will" say would be inter esting. Adams Attacks Butler. Judge Adams denies that he is in tins conspiracy. This seems to be a case of the wicked fleeing where none pursues. He then proceeds to attack ox-Senator Butler with a lot of ad jectives. Why? Simply because Butler had said that some of the Wall Street $0,000,000 conspiracy fund was being used in the South against the president as it is being used all over Hie country. Why did Adams think that Butler referred to him is a ques ti"n that is being asked here. m Dangers From Evil Immigration. The number of undesirable immi grants coming to our shores is increas ing each year and each month. The President is giving grave attention to this serious situation and some effect ive legislation is expected at the next session of Congress. A prominent politician here today fi'om New York says that his State will be for Taft for President if Roosevelt can not be gotten to serve another term. -This sentiment is growing fast.

Oat State at Jamestown. Raleigh, Special. Commissioner General Poguc, of the North Carolina Jamestown Exposition Commission, was iiere last week, lie says that he finds that it requires constant atten tion to keep things on the move. The management of the transportation de partment has been simply chaotic and he spoke of one car of show cases for North Carolina which have been load and unloaded sevgn times. Then, too. the ofiicial decorators and carpenters J have been outrageously behind with their part of the work. He says that if the freights had been delivered within ten days after arrival at the grounds and if the decorators and in stallation had been completed by the contract time, practically all of the North Carolina exhibits would have been j-eady on the opening day. No less than ISO of the North Carolina cotton mills make exhibits and have shown a very great degree of inter est in having their department com prehensive and it will illustrate all the kinds of textile work done in the State, some of which will be a sur prise to North Carolinas and to the general public.

But at Close Mark et Was Strong Witt Demand Un satisfied, Chicago, Special. In most sensa tional opening in the history of the Chicago loard of trade, wheat shot past the doliar mark. Heavy realis ing sales pushed the price backwards somewhat, but at the close the inarket was strong and, according to the mi nority of speculators on the board, the demand upon which the late advance has been made is still unsatisfied. The net advance for wheat was four ecits for the July and September options and 4 1-8 for the December option. From the low point of Monday of last week July wheat had advanced 13 1-4. September has gone up 13 3-4. In the December option the high point was 10 3-4 above the low price of Monday. It was a certainty that a strong bulge would take place in the wheat market at thex opening, As soon as the gong sounded there was a terrific roar of Voices, all anxious to buy and nobody offering to sell, The trade was too big and to broad to be fol lowed with' niiy uncertainty, and brokers filled orders frequently sev eral cents away from' the point at which they had hoped to buy, The July option ojHMied between 93 and 94, which was 1 1-4 to 2 3-S cents higher than the close of Satur day. September opened at 93 to 99, which was up 1,38 to 5 3-8 above the closing price of last week. De cember showed a wider range than any of the other options, as the opening for December ran at all fig ures between 90 1-2 and 103. The rush of buying orders seemed to come from almost every town i-i the United States which was situated along a telegraph wire. "The profes sional traders were of the opinion that the opening was a little too vigorous and that the chance to seize profits on lines of long wheat carried over Sunday was tempting. As soon, therefore, as trade steadied a trifle, millions of bushels were thrown up on the market in realizing sales. As a result, the advance for a time was checked. The buying orders, however, still poured in and the market again soared. There were no claims in any direc tion that the market was being mani pulated. The general opinion seem ed to be that the advance was based upon natural conditions which are certain to curtail in large degree the world's coming wheat crop. Advices from all parts of the West and North west confirmed previous reports of damage by weather jftnd by insects. In addition, telegrams from the Can adian Northwest declared that there was still no possibility of seeding In that district, and that every day "of delay meant the loss of thousands of acres that might otherwise have been sown to wheat. Such prominent traders as William II. Bartlett and James A. Patten declared that condi tions at heme and abroad warranted the sensational advance in prices, de claring that the wheat problem for this year Avill be a difficult one for Eu ropean buyers to solve.

The wreck occurred at 2:35 o'clock one hour and 45 minutes after the party had left Santa Barbara, where they had spent all the morning sight seeing. The statement that the tram was making a terrific speed when it struck the defective track is bona out by the fact that it covered the Gl miles of crooked track from Santa Barbara to Honda in 100 minutes The loeomotive in leaving the rails tore up the track, twisting the huge steel rails into fish hooks. The bag ?age car half buried. itself in the sand on the right side of the locomotive. It was smashed almost to kindling wood.
