The Talk of Hard Times. One of the interesting and, in the opinion of some people, significantoccurrences of the past few weeks In this country has been the severe attack of mental chills and fever through which, that small but Important region in New York popularly known as Wall Street. has passed during that time. The last two weeks of January witnessed what is described as the most extensive liquidation of stocks that Wall Street has known for a good many months. The pressure to sell seemed ominous, and at times a condition of panic was at least approached. When men of prominence in financial affairs in New York have been asked to explain the recent drop in security prices, they have In nearl7 every case given two alleged causes for the trouble. The first of these the one upon which the greatest emphasis is laid is that the constant "persecution of big financial interests by President Roosevelt is causing the spread of a feeling of uneasiness and alarm in the business world. The second in that business is so active that there is not money enough in the country to supply the almost universal demands of . American railroads for more capital. Tha first of these explanations is dwelt upon at length and with apparent earnestness by the big financiers referred to. U is an open secret that the men who control Wall Street sentiment are even more deeply incensed at the president today than they have been on previous occasions since he moved into the white house. If men of the Rockefeller-Morgan type are angry at Mr. Roosevelt today, It is interesting to try to Imagine what they would have thought of such a campaign of destruction, not correction, as Mr. Bryan would have started against them if he had been elected president. Mr. Roosevelt, as most of those who have followed his career know, is at heart a conservative. But he is not the sort of conservative that believes in sitting upon the safety valve. He has favored the passage of some measures of regulation of the railroads and other corporations that he, in common with a good many other Americans who can not by any stretch of the imagination be called radicals, believed reasonable and desirable. Now that these measures have become laws, he intends to see that they are obeyed. If a course of this sort Is enough to break down our present proHperity aud put a period of depression and hard times in its place, then Uncle's Sam's present remarkable prosperity must be a flimsier thing than most of us have been willing to believe. . It may be that we have reached the top of the wave of prosperity which has engulfed the country since 1900. although even the pessimists confess that there is as yet no sign in the business world of a turn In the tide. It is apparent to every thinking man that our present abnormal prosperity can net continue forever. There must be reactions from time to time not such financial and industrial spasms, we can well hope, as this country Indulged in as growing pains or more than one occasion when it was still engaged in the great work of spreading over a great part of a great continent. There will Inevitably be mild reactions from time to time but all patriotic Americans should unite in the hope that when the next period of depression has come and gone. American historians will not be forced to acknowledge that a majority of the countrymen explained the trouble on the ground that an honest President had insisted that certain reasonable laws be obeyed. Cincinnati Times Star. The Sou and tHe Negro The New York Tribune gives this turn to the editorial In which it discusses the suspension of the Atlanta News because of its policy of race hate failed to appeal to sufficient people, to support it. The Tribune notes .that every Southern state has two senators, yet we hear really of no one but Tillman; that every Southern state has a governor, yet ' we hear only'of one or two of them. It continues: In the Northern mind they stand, we regret to say, too much for the south. But do they represent the south any more than the Atlanta News represented the south? Tillmanism and Vardamanism put on paper and tried as a newspaper policy falls. I n politics, personally exemplified, it succeeds, but we wonder how far it succeeds despite itself, 'despite its misrepresentation of the real feeling of the south, and because of certain other qualities of mind and heart by which its exponents appeal to the southern public. The failure of the News should clear up certain misapprehensions regarding the south for which some of tho south's chosen spokesmen are largely responsible.

A Lesson for tHe Yellows. Noting the suspension of the Atlanta, (Ga.) News, which was responsible for tho riot that disgraced that town, the Toledo Blade says: Yet the Atlanta News is not the only publication in this country that is inviting disaster. During the last few years we have been witnesng an era of newspaper depravity wherein truth and honor were sacrificed for sensation. Careful invesigation will disclose that much of tho "truest and discontent, wholly at variance with the general prosper-lr-he country, has been and is being incited by yellow journals.
The acitement 7 Is Spreading
Many People from Out of Town Calling on the Instructors.
While it was known by a few people of Richmond before tho Root Juice people came here that Root Juice is a remarkable discovery on account of ihe many apparently wonderful cures It made in northern Indiana during the last six months, it was not supposed that so many people from out of town were interested. Last Saturday and yesterday were busy days for the Instructors. Many people that called were from out of town and if Indications count, they will be unable to attend to the people's wants during the week, and Luken's drug store will be the busiest place in Ricmond. A traveling man called on the instructor last Saturday with a heart running over with gratitude. lie said: he would not take the whole town of Richmond for what Root Juice did for him. He aid: "For years I suffered with my stomach and kidneys. I tried every
thing I could have the least confidence In. but continued togrow worse. At times I felt like I had rocks in the pit 3t my stomach. Often gas would form in my stomach and bowels and press against my heart, so that it would feel like it would stop beating. Occasionally I would spit tip my food and get deathly sick. Oftimes there was a raw burning sensation and I was never free from paia in my back and limbs- Tho doctors said the paia In the limbs was rheumatic. While traveling in northern Indiana I heard so much of Root Juice I decided to try it, so I purchased three bottles and by the time it was used I had a xrmil appetite. . I could digest fat !-....- anil hunt ov&jrv rutin wait COUC.
and I had gained nine pounds. I do not believe any person enjoys better health than I now enjoy." No won

prove every ciaim maue ior ic. itooi Juice is sold for $1 a bottle; 3 for $2.50.

RIVAL LEAGUES ARE ACTIVE AND ONE ORGANIZATION REFUSES
TO RECOGNIZE THE NEW RUL ER ON THE THRONE. IPublishers Press.l Teheran. Feb. 11. Tire Persian gtrr-
ernment dispensed with the services of M. Naus, minister of customs and posts, a Belgian, and of M. Priem, another Belgian official, in consequence of representations on the part of the people that the government continued to support Belgians, against whoso conduct in the administration of their office serious complaints have been made for some time. The revolutionary movement is spreading in Teheran, Shirazan, Tabriz and Resht, where local leagues, known as Medjam, have been formed. The leagues do not acknowledge tho authority of parliament or the shah. At Teheran thte governor is powerless. The governor of Tabriz was arrestid and bastinadoed by order of the medjem, which is supported by armed bands that have been crossing: the frontier from the Caucasus. Counter leagues called Fedan are being organized to defend parliament, which though not in sympathy with
tire revolutionary movement, is classed as Iryking in backbone. Pressure of crowds which fill the parliament building at Teheran interrupt the sessions and crowds assaulted the unpopular Kadjor princes, particularly Prince Naib-'es-Sultanes, war minister and father-in-law of the sultan. The only minister exempt from attack 13 Sadrazen, whose two sons are radical leaders. Many meetings are held in mosqu3, fiery speeches delivered and proclaznv tions issued denouncing the minister.?.

It was announced in a special dispatch from Teheran that anti-government bands seized ammunition stores at Tabriz and that factional fighting was proceeding on the streets.
