THE PRESIDENT
Will Shortly Visit the
Louisiana Purchase
Exposition.
TRIP TO THE SOUTH

Washington. d. c.. Nov. 10.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has accepted the invi-
tation of the cityNofficials at st. Louis
to attend the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition at st. Louis. He will be there
Nov. 26tb and can spend but one day.
He has taken under consideration the
request that he remain in st. Louis
over Sunday, the day following.
The delegation conveying the invi-
tation in person, consisted of Mayor
Wells and W. ii Thompson and G. II.
Spencer, of the Exposition association.
They had expected to reach the city
this afternoon but did not arrive un-
til dark, having been delayed at Gin
cinnati, because their car was too
large to enter the Baltimore e. Ohio
tunnel.
Their conference with the president
was brief but satisfactory. The pres
ident explained that work on his an
nual message to congress and official
functions would interfere with long,
er stay than one day.
There were many Jokes passed upon
the election in Missouri. The presi-
dent said he would almost have had
the result the other way than see Sem
ator Cockrell retired.
1t Is believed here tonight that the
presidents trip west will be in the
nature Of triumphant trip. He has
expressed to number of persons re-
Gently the belief that president
should get out among the people of the
country. He feels that the people of
Missouri and the west have honored
him so highly that he would be un-
grateful to decline the pressing invi-
tation to visit the fair.
The tour will be through the states
OF Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and IL
linois. 1t is not believed, with public
feeling at such high pitch of enthu-
siasm as 1t now is, that the president
will be permitted to make hurried
trip to and from st. Louis His de-
sire to mingle more freely with the
people gives rise to the belief that he
could be prevailed on to make the tour
one in which he could briefly greet
the populace from the rear platform of
his train while enroute. ~
The president has decided to make
trip through the south in the near fu.
ture He feels that he has been placed
In very unjust position on the race
question and he is anxious to explain
to the southern people by word OF
mouth what his views are.
Georgia is particularly in his mind
now. 1t is there, he says. where rad
ical prejudices seem to exist most
strongly. He believes in aiding the
black man as well as the white man,
but denies that he ever did or ever will
advocate social equality. He wants to
tell the people Of the south that and
some other things.

TO PRISON
PITTsBuRo JUDGE DECLARES HE
WILL SEND NEXT scoRcHER
HE CATCHES.

Pittsburg, Pa. Nov. 1O.-'T will send
the next scorcher to prison without q
fine. The law gives me that privilege.
and I will do It."
Judge J. A. Evans made this remark
today, when the first case to reach the
courts under the act of 1903. regulat-
ing the speed of automobiles, was ter
minated by the conviction Of George
Monson. employed by Titus Debobula,
and when he was sentenced to pay a
fine of $35 Judge Evans offered some
advice to automobilists generally. He
said as this was the first case under
the act to come into court he would
fine the offender. but he said this was
not an indication that future offend.
ers would fare so well, as the act
provides for either fine or imprison.

ples of this oil, both native and Eu- ropean, have been tested by the bureau to determine what grade gives the best results. This involves finding out the grade of oil which both most readily enters the wood and also stays in the longest time. The first will hasten and cheapen the process, the second will insure the greater permanence of the treatment. The necessity for wood preservative treatment Is beyond the theoretical stage. It is question ot recognized and vital importance, espe- cially to the railroads and telegraph and telephone companies, whose bills for constant renewals of ties and poles are enormous. The oil tests the bureau is making are therefore of large and immediate practical value.

President Roosevelt's message was bound to be disappointing, and it seems as though our chief executive took pains to make it so. Subjects that were expected to be treated at length received only bare mention, and those that some people thought worth very little notice were given columns. It is bulky document, and that also is at variance with the presidents style of doing business. The labor question is discussed from every standpoint, and a principal topic is the recommends ton that congress should adopt strin- gent measures to prevent labor unions from interfering with the election of congressman and others who gain the ill will of certain organizations. The pension subject is for once given 8 back seat but the army and navy and Philippines are given enough to make up for this slight to the old soldier. The president believes in peace, at least so he says, but he also believes in keeping the musket loaded and ready for business. In fact, the message is a "stand pat argument from begin ming to end. and. of course, will please those whom the president wishes to keep as his friends.

 Whether Connecticut will have to hang Murderer Marx is still question that is agitating not a few of his friends. The officers of. the law seem not, to be at all troubled, however, and even some of those to whom he has most naturally looked for aid have turned against him. One Hebrew rabbi is said to be working hard to obtain for him anew trial, and another rabbi is reported as having said: Ut is enough for me that an impartial jury found him guilty" Marx is B years old and can live but few years more at the best. but the law is no respecter of age that does not respect itself, and as Marx had a fair trial at which the evidence brought against him was ov. erwhelming, there seems to be no req son for expecting that the sentence ot hanging will be turned aside and no reason why it should be. He is the first murderer to be sentenced to the gallows from New London county for the past sixty years, and that county
 is not to blame for regretting that, the record has been broken-Ansonia Sen- tinel.

The bureau of forestry is making ex-
 haustive tests to determine the best
 grade of creosote oil for use in wooo preservative treatment The supply of
 the kinds of timber which are natural ly most resistant to decay is diminish ing so rapidly that substitutes will
 have to be found within a few years at furthest. Already the railroads are face to face with a tie famine from the exhaustion of the woods hitherto most used, especially white oak. There are plenty of substitutes, but they all decay So fast in their natural state that though their first cost is low their use is very expensive. In Europe this difficulty was met long ago by devising methods of artificial preservation by which, for example. a beech tie, which if untreated will decay in from four to five years is made to last thirty years or more. This result is obtained by impregnating it with creosote oil. Other preservative materials are in ex- perimental use in this country. but none gives more promising results in the increased length of service secured. At present most of the creosote oil for this purpose is being obtained from European sources. Quantities sufficient for our use are produced in this coun- try, but the grades are so many and, for the most part, so inferior that they are but little used About 1, 900 sam.

Long before NapoIeon's day Russia was looked upon as menace to the peace of Europe. It was in the hone of 1umbling her and earning the grati. tude of nations that the Corsican launched forth in the campaign Of 1872. The Muscovite ambition in the far east has long drawn the full resources of the nation in that direction, but should Russia be permanently checked there and thrown back upon Siberia it is scarcely believable that she will fold her hands for good. It would be but natural that she would reconstruct her military and then look for new con. quests, possibly on the borders of Flu rope.
