Affectionate tributes from all parts of the world laid stress upon his atHoover tractive personality. These expres- sions, and the high esteem manl fested by the public and through the press, are a rich legacy of comfort to his family. Mr. Lougworth's death has, of course, completely changed the course of events In the house. A struggle for the speakership would have occurred In any event, but it was taken for grunted that Mr Longworth would command all the votes of his party and thus hold an tven chance of winning the spenk ershlp. The f!epubllcnns must now choose a candidate for speaker and he will face the difficult task of consolidating the entire party.

Roosevelt made this statement at the Longworth home and added that "my sister will of course go bark to Washington where she has a residence, but Cincinnati Is her home and she intends to make It surh in the future.". Further than this, he said, Mrs. Longworth has no future plans. This would seem definitely to set at rest rumors that Mrs. longworth would he a candidate for her late husband's seat in congress. e GOV. LOUIS L, contrary to expectations, vetoed the hill for the repeal Illinois iVv TO ( V i y r '.5ii8 , Gov. L. L. Emmerson of the search and seizure laws. The measure, which would have placed sixth in the column of states repealing Illinois their prohibition enforcement acts, had been enncted by the state senate by only a two-vot- e margin, 26 to 24. The vote for it In the house had been 91 to 50. Several of those who voted for repeal In the senate, where the turn of two votes would have changed the votei frankly admitted they voted for it only because of the referendum, by which the voters of Illinois, by a large majority, expressed their approval of repeal. Governor Emmerson, however, left the way open for alterations In the repealer, which he said would cause it to meet with his approval. He declared in his veto message that if the repealer had contained a referendum provision "so that the people of the state, with the full knowledge of the consequences, could vote on wiping out all state liquor legislation without regard to the Constitution of the United States, I should feel compelled to sign the bill." The governor asserted that the efforts of Illinois "wets" to strike all prohibition laws from the statute books was nulllficationism. N PHilRMA James C.

That is to say, the dumping of Russian wheat into the markets of Europe at any price it would bring was largely the cause of that great accumulation of wheat In storage which now embarrasses the board and the market. That Russia was the main cause of that calamitous slump In wheat last November Is a fact that Is not questioned by responsible authorities anywhere in rhe world. Yet little or none of Ibis wheat came to America. The tariff on wheat Is practically prohibitive, even for Russia. And we can if we wish effectively prevent the entry of any Russian products. That, however, will not enable us to escape the consequences of Russia's prodigious economic program, the most extensive and the most audacious economic experiment in the world's history, It need not touch us directly at any point but we cannot escape It. Russia Is in a position to make the price In the world market, and it will not be a profitable price. Much the same situation Is developing in relation to lumber and oil. Russia has a larger area of useful timber than any country In the world and as fast as It can. by forced labor. It Is turning that timber into lumber In order to realize cash or credit on It from Its sales In the markets of the world. The effect on lumber prices must be similar to thnt on wheat.
