ROOSEVELT AND HANNA
Many ot tho republican papers have recently so
riously taken up the question of who is to 1m tho
nominee of their party for tho presidency In 1901
It Is asserted with a dogree of posltlvnnoss that la
astonishing at this early dato that there will be but
two candidates who will contend for tho prlzo before
the republican nominating convention and tho names
of the candidates arc Thcodoro ItoosovolL and Matcus
Alonzo Hiuina
Now tho prosident is said to bn leaving no stone
unturned to secure his own nomination It Is related
that ho hiniBolf told the story of how ho proinlsod to
renppolnt litdson Lewis the Georgia uegio icglster of
the treasury because upon being sounded in ltooso
volts Interest he declared himself for Hanna Thats
to show his manliness so people who ndmtre him will
pay How llko Uoosovclt Then his tender of tho po
sition of general immigration commissioner to Frank

Flremon is said to bo 11 movo to offset tho intotest Mr
Hanna has lately boon making with tho laboring
classes na tho head of tho Natlonnl Civic Federations
arbitration committee Tho appointment to a cabinet
position of Secretary Payne who has the reputation of
being a wire puller of skill is said to havo boon mndo
with an eye on tho nomination Tho president Is cred
ited with making strenuous nnd continued preparations
to launch a Roosevelt boom for tho convention in 1001
Nor has Senator Hanna been idle That expert
enced political manager has been employing some of
tho astuteness which hns gained him tho nlcknamo of
tho republican Warwick In his own behalf H M
Dougherty and Cyrus Ilulitig of tho antlHanna fac
tions of Ohio havo been won over and are Hanna men
for the presidential race Sonator Hanna has been
busy In enlisting newspaper support and articles and
pictures of him appear designating him as tho man
of the hour Hero ia an artlclo which appeared in
tho Washington Times

Jiefore entering the United States senate he was known
as one of our greatest business men and was looked upon as
remarkable politician
Today he Is bigger than politics or politicians
He does things
He is now at the head of the National Civic Federations
arbitration committee an organization that is more farreach

WHY TEXAS IS PROSPEROUS
A thousand head of beeves sold In Temple tho
other day at 5 conts a pound Tho animals averaged
1200 pounds and biought the feeder about 60 each
They coat him on the lange fiom SIS to 40 or an
average of loss than 30 Ho hnd a margin of 30
thorofore for feeding nnd the 30 tho pioducer re
ceived was ample foi a fair profit In raising Horses
and mules have been In fine demand by reason of the
Floor war nnd hogs nnd mutton have been fetching
good prices Consequently although tho grain crop
last year was short live stock producers enjoyed a
prosperous fall and winter
Cotton was unduly depressed early In the sonson
but the great majority of farmers wero ablo to hold
enough of their crop to lienelU by tho advance and
on the whole the staple has yielded around 7 cents a
pound or 3r > a bale to the planter It has been dem
onstrated that cotton Is glown In Texas nt lebb than G
cents a pound so that the crop hub piolltod tho farnfor
5 to 10 a bale
At the same time Tesns farmers have learned to
diversify and It Is now the exception when one does
not get money out of something besides cotton
As the farmer piospers so piospor all and theso
few figures aio sufficient to show why Texas Is fool
ing quite comfortable in all lines of industry And the
past seaton was even less piolltable than tho two pre
ceding seasons So Toxab has had three moro than

posits in Teus banks the homo investments in fncto
iIob in new homos nnd business bouses all over tlio
Slate In handsoinu railroad
earningsIn short In a
unlfotm condition of thrift
In view of all this it Is not strange that capital is
looking this way As a matter of fact Toxus Is got
ling so much capital of her
own that who is not so
much concerned as she onco was about tho sttito of
mind among foreign investors
Tin point is frequently made in congress during the dis

citizens are and tlut n special law should be made to fcafe

such as a customs inspector United Mates marshal or dep
uty marshal or a poiloffice mspei lor kills a man he is in
dictable by a State gland jury If he claims that the killing
ocuured while in the discharge of his ofiiclal duty he can
have the case transferred from the State court to a Federal
court on proper application When the transfer is made the
State has to go into the Federal couit lo prosecute and the
district attorney of the United Stales with all the utachiiu
cry of the Pedeial court where the case is to be tried ap
pears for the defendant That certainly js a privilege that
the private citizen has not By a claim that his act was
committed in the discharge of his official duty the United
States through its district attorney supposed to be learned
in the law and especially schooled in the trial of criminal
cases becomes the defendants counsel and champion and
that too without cost

WASHINGTON NEWS AND VIEWS
Washington March i8 A T l orr yoiirf ef J There
minds of those who have
is little or no doubt now 111 the
been keeping in close touch with the situation that Theodore
Roosevelt and Marcus A Hanna will be rival candidates for
the republican presidential nomination in 1904 This matter
has b en referred to on several previous occasions in this
correspondence but heretofore some doubt as to Senator
annas attitude in the premises has always been expressed
It has been suggested that it was practically certain that the
big man from Ohio would oppose Roosevelt but no definite
statements have ever been made as to whether the former
would Mipport some one el e for the place or be a candidate
himself Recent developments however have been of such
a nature as to indicate very clearly that Hanna will himself
be n candidate and that he is preparing to make the fight of
his life
Just at present the attention of both Roosevelt and Hanna
seems to be directed toward the labor vote Each of them
is making every effort to convince the workingman that he
is their best friend The presidents latest move in this di
rection was made when he ousted T V Powderly from thn
position of heail of he immigraion bureau and offered the
place to Prank P Sargent who for years past has been the
leader of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen There is
no doubt that this i a direct invitation to the labor element
to throw its influence into the contest in favor of Roosevelt
if if if if
Senator Hanna is going about the matter in a different
way He is posing as the strike arbitrator extraordinary of
the country He has figured in this capacity in all of the re
cent strikes particularly the one which caused so much trou
ble at Boston and in every case he has sought to make it
appear that he loves the workingman with a love that passcth
understanding and that there is nothing on earth too good
for that same workingman There is no doubt of the sound
ness of the latter proposition but it must be admitted that
it is a little strange that a man who has been so prominently
and so closely identified with the trusts as Hanna has been
should expect the public to believe that such a sentiment
coming from him is sincere
Only a day or two ago the Washington Times the paper
which was recently purchased by Frank A Munsey of maga
zine fame contained a picture of Hanna which occupied near
ly the whole of the first page of both its morning and even
ing editions It was labeled Mr Hanna great mediator be
tween labor and capital and in connection with it there
was printed a long statement which sought to demonstrate
that the junior senator from Ohio was wholly responsible for
the termination of the Boston strike and that his project to
arbitrate strikes and disputes through a National peace or
ganization had met with notable success in practice
It must be confessed that both these bids for the influ
ence of the labor element arc just a trifle weak and hardly
calculated to deceive the intelligent workingmen of the coun
try for even a moment It is quite likely that many such
bids will be made before the shadows cast by coming events
become so plain as to show exactly who will be in the con
test for the republican nomination in toot but there is no
reason to believe that any of them will be more difficult to
see through than are those mentioned here
f v <
The most interesting matttcr that army circles have had
to talk about since the president administered his brutal rep
rimand to General Miles is the announcement that that offi
cer has been turned down hard on his request to be sent
to the Philippines and to be allowed to put in effect there a
plan calculated to bring the war to an end without further
loss of life on cither side The story giving the details of
this matter which was sent out last night was developed in
rather an unusual manner Editor Henry Wattcrson of the
Louisville CourierJournal sent from this city to his paper a
day or two ago a long editorial in which the following para
graph occurred
It is reported on what seems good authority that some
time ago General Miles asked to be ent to the Philippines
He is our oldest most experienced Indian fighter lie has
toaxed submission many times of the aborigines when to sub
due them by force of arms would have cost too much He
could and would bring order out of chaos if sent to Manila
with adequate power 111 a few months Wc could adapt our
selves to conditions Not a bit of it Miles application
sleeps in some pigeonhole
The editorial 111 question was printed in the Washington
Post of last Saturday The paragraph above quoted attract
ed the attention of various correspondents and an investiga
tion which was immediately begun resulted in the whole story
being brought out After official Washington recovered from
the first shock of the announcement it commenced to guy
the correspondents who had failed for something like four
weeks the inteivicvv between Miles and the president hav
ing occmred that long ago to discover and exploit one of
the biggest news stories of tho vcar and who knew absolute
ly nothing of it for that matter until it was brought to their
attention in a roundabout wav by a Southern editor
One of the amusing features of the sory lies in the fact
thai the day after General Miles called on the president and
made his now famous proposition the Washington Slar the
acknowledged apologist for ami organ of the administration
gravely puhhshed a statement to the effect that the visit ml
dicated that the relations between the commanding officer of
the army and the president of the United States were very
cordial and that the former had entirely gotten over the ef
fects of the rebuke admintstrred to him by the latter The
Star is now alleging that the story comes from antiadmin
istration sources and will he used for anti administration
purposes and further that it will be made a feature of the
forthcoming campaign
It must be admitted assuming that the story is absolutely
true which no one doubts that there is much reason for the
refusal of General Miles proposition by the president being
made use of in the fight against the administration General
Miles is the head of the army of the United States and
whatever else may be said of him neither his personal emir
age nor his military ability has ever been questioned rt
his request to be sent to the Philippines to take
persona
charge of the campaign being waged there was refused and
his plan to end the war without further loss of life on e itW
side was ignored The president looked over the plan a
he would look over a proposition involving the most unim
portant matter imaginable suggested certain modifications
and then sent General Miles to the secretary of war Of
urfJ hc I 1 was a forfKone conclusion Root has his
md of course
with
of General Miles Furthermore lie k knew hat t General Mil those
own ideas about the war in the Philippines
would not consent to have his plans interfered
was not tu good repute with President Roosevelt and i tint
therefore any indignity placed on him would he upheld hv
Mr Roosevelt So the general and his plans were ignored
and the
president and the secretary of war by this action
went 011 record as being of the belief that the war in I
Philippines was at an end The last indorsement 0
papers bearing on the case was dated it is said on March c
It should bo understood in his connection that General
Miles whose ability as an Indian fighter is unquestioned
proposed to put in effect iu the Philippines methods similar
to those which he had successfully used in numerous Indian
campaign Military men and government officials sav thit
unless there arc some features connected with the
matter
wind have not jet been made public the president ami the

To J M Lewis
So he longs for the fleshpots of Egypt
This poet of springtime and flowers
He deplores his owncst owns brewing
And longs for his coffee by hours
He thinks Mrs Rorer brought sorrow
Her recipes merely made trash
He sighs with the thought of tomorrow
And admits that hed rather hare hash
He begs for the wheel lo turn bacVwatd
And yearns for the things mother made
He thinks his own charmer is awkward
Wants the cook book upon the shelf laid
Owns that fudge and such stuff is not bad
But prefers steak and taters I sposej
He says that planked fish is a fad
And grumbles and sighs oer his woes
Oh poet soul why sordid grow
Oer what is quite untrue fi
The muse has fed you well you know i
Just think of eyes o blue
Then cat whateer before yous placed
And neer complain a word
You are the cooks most abject slave
Although jou think youre lord
