SEATTLE GIRL
BETWEEN Two
FICTINC Lines

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-The
steamer Siberia, which has arrived
here, had as one OF its passengers
Miss Mary L. Struve, of the well
known Seattle family. who is on her
way home from the orient. Miss
Struve has just been through ex-
periences which few American women
have ever known. She has been in
the center OF Asiatic turmoil betwixt
the armies of Japan and of Russia.
That the situation was not too much
for her nerves Is evidenced by her
rosy cheeks and general good spirits.
Miss Struve has been at the gold
mines at Unsan, Korea, located in the
and owned and worked by Seattle
people. She was in the orient when
war broke out between Japan and
Russia. She did not become aware
of 1t, she says, until many days after
II was known in America, thousands
Of miles away. Notwithstanding she
was on the very spot. Soon, however.
1t was brought home to her In dead
earnest. when the Japanese columns
began to advance to the north and
the Russian to the south, penning
her and her party in. as 1t were. She
was under the protection of Mr.. and
Mrs. Meserve, formerly of Seattle, the
former manager OF the mine. The
first news Of war was brought to the
mines by native Koreans. Before they
were able to take any action they
were In the hands of a detachment
Of Russian Cossacks for better or for
worse.
She Falls Captive.
That was the first time. says Miss
Struve, that she ever saw Russian
soldier on war footing. At first the
Cossacks were inclined TO be domi-
neering, but the little band OF Ameri-
cans was not long in making II known
that-the protection OF Minister Allen
had been extended to them. Allen
advised them to Sve the country
as soon as they could arrange to get
out. Miss Struve says she lost no
time, but got her belongings together
and "hiked," They were escorted "a
Chinampho, and there got the first
real view of the Japanese side of the
question. THE sound OF war rang
In my ears" is the way Miss Struve
expressed 1t, The Japanese. she says,
gave the party a very cordial well
come, and We're attentive during their
short stay at Chinampho. They were
afforded transportation to Chemulpo
where the United States cruiser Gin
cinnati awaited them.

In Chemulpo harbor Miss struve
says that she was for the first time
impressed with the horrors OF con-

Man, one Of the sort whom a young
man can admire and understand. He is
grit and sympathy. He is a figure to ap-
preciate.
Old party lines are not as we'll defined
as they have been in the past. New is
sues have arisen. and those who for the
first time cast their votes for President
will not cast it as Democrats or Repub-
licans because they must vote as their
fathers voted. Information is more gen.
eral than it was a quarter of a century
ago, and the young man thinks for him
self, because he knows enough to do so.
He, if he be not absolutely ignorant,
keeps step with the march of circum-
stances. He will not cast his vote ac-
cording to a legend.
1t is because of this, because of the
amazing difference in the personality of
the candidates, that the young men will
inevitably incline to Roosevelt. With all
regard for the eminent responsibility of
Mr.. Parker he must be looked upon as
having about the same degree of mag
netism as the ordinary fish, no doubt a
useful product, but Incorporating in
personal way. For the man who likes a
manly man, as young men do, there is no
comparison between the candidates.
Roosevelt will get the young mems votes.

Roosevelt and Union Veterans.

In 1889 Theodore Roosevelt. as Civil
Service Commissioner. devised the plan
by which veterans of the war for the
Union who had been dismissed from the
public service with good records could
be reinstated. A great many veterans
had been discharged without cause dur
ing the previous Democratic administra-
ton. Under the rule devised and estab-
lished by Mr.. Roosevelt hundreds of
them were reinstated in the public ser.
vice during Mr.. McKinley's administra-
ton. As that was more than ten years
before Mr.. Roosevelt was nominated for
Vice President his action could not be
attributed to political motives. 1t was
due to his regard for the veterans and to
desire to remedy Democratic injustice.

THE BUSINESS MEMS VOTE.
Reasons Why 1t Should BE Given to
Republican Candidates.

In the presidential elections of 1896
and 1900 the business men of the coun-
try exercised more decisive influence than
in any other two national elections III our
history. They voted in greater numbers
than ever before, and their vote was al
most solid in favor of sound money, pro-
lection Of home markets, and the extern
sion of foreign trade. 1t is hardly too
much to say that the conservative bust
ness vote of the country turned the scale
i'll lS9G and 1900. For this the business
men may well congratulate themselves
and enjoy the consciousness of having
done their duty and rendered great SER
vice to the country.
But how about the coming election
The money question in it's various phases
of the gold standard the currency and
the national banks is still threatened by
one wing of the Democratic party, while
the protection of home markets and the
opening of foreign ones is as important
as ever. The Democratic platform is 81
lent on the money question. Judge Par
ker says the gold standard is ''irrevoca-
bly, fixed" but the Democratic party has
not said so. That party has been wrong
on every phase of the financial question
from the. Civil War to the present time.
Can it be trusted now?
Speaker Cannon, in HIS notification
speech to Mr.. Roosevelt, said that If
Judge Parker's vote and support OF his
party's candidate in 1896 and 1900 had
been decisive, I'VE would now have the
silver standard" There is something for
business men to think about. Judge Par
ker claims to have repented and the par
ty promises reform. Can they be trust
ed?
The question of protecting home mar
kets and extending foreign markets il
one of vital Importance to business men.
From a business point of view it is a
question of life or death. The Demo-
cratic party fayors tariff policy that
would be fatal to both home and foreign
1t is no more worthy Of the
support of business men now than it was
IN 1896 or In 1900
