President Roosevelt has been held
responsible for numerous deeds which
it would have been much better to have
left undone. but we do not remember
to have heard him accused of being
consistent. In the very nature of
things Theodore Rooseelt should not

in dealing with analogous situations
There is just no telling where he is go

that he does one thing in North Caro-
lima is rather al indication hat he
will do another in South Carolina
and still another in Georgia or Penn
sylvania under similar circumstances.
1t remains, however, that it is a good
thing for this state that the man who
has the ear of the administration
stands where he does on the race Ques-

NAVAL FIRING OFF BAR HARROR
Search Problem Probably Being Fought
out In the Night.

BAR HARBoR, Me-, Aug. 7.-Soon after
10 o'clock tonight several cannon shots
were heard here, and il is believed that It
means that some decision has been reached
between the two naval squadrons working
out the search problem of the New England
coast.
After the first stray shots there was
heavy cannonadng that seemed to come
from two opposing forces. Men along the
shore here say that the sound came from
up at Lamerne, but there seems to be little
reason for the enemy 10 be up there, az the
channel is only eight feet deep, not deep
enough for the battleships to come through.
To others ii sounded as il the firing were
off Schoodic Point In the open sea. II
this is the case there are two suppositions-
either the enemy was trying to overpower
the two scout boats Newport and Hart
ford. or the enemy ran into the fight
ing force of Admiral Barker's squadron,
which is out near Egg Rock Light.
The firing ceased after aboul twenty
minutes. In case the enemy tried to run
in here tonight the chances are against
their success. The land station tried to
communicate with different points along
the shore, but all telephone and telegraph
operators had closed for the night
Northeast Harbor heard no firing, nor did

places that could he reached. The shore
