As far as can be ascertained, there was not a Racine person in Galveston at the time of the awful calamity. There were probably dozens who at different times in their life have visited this city, who went through the terrible storm and per haps survived.

MONEY QUESTION THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE rnrchaaes of American Territory Cited la Defense or Policy la Philippine Roteatlen or lalanda Itefended Right aad JaaU NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Governor Roosevelt's letter of acceptance of the Republican nomination for vice-president was made puhlic yesterday. It is addressed to Edward O.

Walcott, chairman of the committee appointed by the Philadelphia convention to notify the vice presidential nominee Governor Roosevelt's letter follows closely along the lines of that of President McKinley in accepting the first place on the Republican ticket. In opening he maintains that the paramount issue is the money question and declares that the election of 3Ir, Bryan would plunge the country into financial and economic chaos. In this connection Gov ernor, Roosevelt turns aside to praise the administration of President McKin ley, under which, he says, the country has been blessed with a degree of prosperity absolutely unparalleled. ADMITS TRUSTS ARE AN. EVIL.

The problem of the trusts is an ex ceedingly difficult one and the difficulty is Immensely aggravated both by honest, but wrong-headed attacks in our whole industrial svsteni in the effort to remove some of the evils connected with it and by the mischievous advice of men. No good whatever is observed by in discriminate denunciation of corporations generally and of all forms of industrial combination in particular, and when this public denunciation is accompanied oy private membership in the great corporations denounced the effect Js, of course, to pive an air of insincerity to the whole movement. A Nevertheless, there are real abuses, and there is ample reason for striving to remedy these abuses. A crude or effort to remedy them would either be absolutely without effect or else would simply do dani-g. "The first thing to do is to find out he facts, and for this purpose publicity as to capitalisation, profit and else of port a nee to the public is the most useful The mere fact of this publicity would in remedy certain eil.

and, as to the others, it would in some cases point out the remedies. and would at least enable us to tell whether or not certain proposed reme. dies would be useful. The state, acting in its collective capacity, would thus firt find out the facts and then be able to take such measures as wisdom dic tated. Much can done by taxation Even more can be done by regulation, by close 'supervision.

The eparate state governments can do a great deal, and where they decline to co-operate the na tional government must step in. fiov. Roosevelt defended the isue of alim raised by the Democrats this rear aad says the history oi the ns tion is in large part the history of the nation's expansion and even during the revolutionary war the work of expansion went on. In 1S03, under President the greatest single stride in expannion that we ever took was taken by the purchase of the Louisiana territory, which includ ed a large portion of w)uthemr western and north western territory, embracing an area now comprising thirteen state, and was acquired by treaty and purchase under President Jefferson exactly and precisely as the Philippines have been ac- ouired by treaty and purchase under President McKinley.

The doctrine of the "consent of the governed was not held by President Jef- ieroon or any other sane man to apply to the Indian tribes in the territory thus acquired, nor was any vote taken of the white settlers in the region, although the transfer was bitterly opposed by both white and colored, and It was deemed necessary to send an armed force into the territory to prevent an insurrection. The doctrine tkat the 'constitution fol Iowa the flag was not then even consider. ed cither by Jefferson or by any other serious party leader, for it never entered their heads that a new territory should be coverned ot-ner than in the way in which the territories of Ohio and Illinois had already been governed under Wash ington and the ddcr Ada ma. The acquisition of Florida Is alo an analogous case. This was partly aequir.

"The simple truth is that there Is noth ing even remotely resembling 'imperial bra' or 'militarism Involved in the pres ent development of that policy of ex pension which has )ccn part of the his tory of America from the day when she became a nation.

Superior Hat the Second Place But Many People Do Not Believe It Oshkoah Is Tery Sore What La Oosse Saya Mayor lllf Opinion of the Ceusaa. Hacine is the third largest city in the state of Wisconsin.

Milwaukee comes first, Superior second, Itacine third and either La Crosse or Oshkosh fourth. There are many people Oshfcosh and La Crosse who do not believe the census in Superior was correctly taken; that it was stuffed and that everything having two or four legs, including cats and dogs, was counted in. Be tuat as -X may the Washington official figures gives tnem over 31,000 people and it entitles them to second no matter if it is fair or not. A La Crosse telegram says: "La Crosse people are satisfied that. Hacine has been honestly enumerated and Ta the population that has been announced but no one can be found who has confi dence in the figures given out for Super ior.

They say it il a dear case of stuff ing the returns, that Racine is second, La Crosse third Ohkosh fourth ami Superior fifth on an honest enumeration. Ohkosh people are sorely disappointed and Mayor Mulva, in speaking of the matter declared that he was convinced that the enumeration ot Ushkou was incomplete and inaccurate, lie called at tention to theNorth park feature and as his opinion that the stanie. state of allairs would be revealed all over the city on investigation, aid he: I am informed that up at West Superior they enumerated everything that walked. whether on four legs or two. The larjr result could not have been, obtained in ny other way; and while- that manner of doing business is not to be commend ei, uont know that much worse than the slovenly way in which our own census waa irathered.

But no matter what the figures attempt or affect to show, Ohkoh is not merely the first. but the beat ciTv In the state, Racims of course, is also disappointed. Mayor Juggins has this to say about it I am pleased that Racine has made auch rapid strides in the pa ten years and has 20,100 people, and more than pleased that Oshkosh must take the fourth place, Of course we must concede that Went Superior beat by nearly 2,000 and gracefully take my hat off to that push ing and inarvelously growing rtty. I be lieve that in ten years hence Racine will lead all but Milwaukee. Just at present she is growing faster than ever in her history and I believe that Lakeside, south of the cily will soon be annexed, which will give us 1,000 more people.
