Reid. But Mr. Reid, while he is a
man of immense capital and influence, he is. also a conservative man and does not jump headlong ' into things without first considering the distance he has to- jump. A few days ago the announcement was made that the syndicate of Indiana Stars was purchased by Mr. D. G. Reid and Mr. J, C. Schafer. This was published in all the leading papers jot, thft-CQuntry-.the .amount, of money paid for the plants named and the mortgage indebtedness . assumed in the purchase. Now it transpires . that Mr. Reid had no more to do with the deal than did
the president of San Domingo, Mr. Reid in a letter to the Pal
ladium, said that- the first intima
tion , he had that he had bought the
gStars was when he read it in the
f papers, lie said that he had not
g-qontemplated such a purchase.
Thus it will be seen that if the Stars fhave been sold Mr., Rcld was not Jthe purchaser. Nothing new has de
lve oped since the last report, and it
iis not yet known whether the deal with Mr. Schaffer was consummated fer.not, although the evening papers
last evening had the following story: I "Indianapolis, Ind., October 26.

ANOTHER WELL

Yesterday morning the Chicago Tribune 'published an eloquent de
fense of President Roosevelt's foreign policy contributed by the Hon. John Barrett, .United States Minister to Panama, one of the veteran members of the American diploma tic service. Mr. Barrett's letter in part follows: -
The Democratic party is making a most serious blunder in criticis
ing President Roosevelt's foreign policy. The contention of the Democratic press and campaign speakers on this subject cannot stand the light of facts. They may take advantage of the general lack of acquaintance throughout the United States with conditions abroad, but when ihee me
known and understood there can result nothing but praise and admira-

who is skeptical m this point a trip around) the world, especially to the

The opening page of the Novem

tnat thanksgiving is once more rolling
'round, and that we must prepare

a poem to this page in Success which contains a certain delicate humor that will put all who read it in good
spirits. It leads on to better things in the magazine, among which we
find an article entitled "The Presi

have been very noticeable this year.
