STRONG FOR THE RIGHT.
President Roosevelt Has Proved Both
Brave and Sane.

brave ana sane.
In our untutorcd, uncouth western
way let US say that the course of Presi-
dent Roosevelt since he learned unofh-
cially of his election suits the people OF
the middle west clear to the ground.
His immediate announcement that
he would not be a candidate for re-
election left him free 10 attend to the
welfare of the country, with no harass-
ing suspicion of any further political
ambition, and that pleased us all.
Still more acceptable was the deter
mination, evidenced in his message. to
resolutely grapple with the transporta-
ton probems-rebates, extortionate or
discriminating rates, industrial roads
and private cars.
In this he showed himself both brave
anu sane for the discomfort with exist
ing abuses is so great as to breed dis
belief in the power of our government
to cope with the evil or distrust in its
willingness to do so,
In his attempt to demonstrate that
the government of the United States Is
strong enough to enforce justice in
this vital matter he has and will have
the enthusiastic support of the central
west and of its representatives in con-
gress.
Astounding as We're the majorities by
which he was elected, they fall far
short, in our Judgment, of what poll
taken today would show.
And so in uncultured fashion we bid
him godspeed We like his style.-Chi-

Local Option Law.

On the 18th of February bill was
introduced into the State Assembly
whose passage will give to the vot-
crs of towns, townships and boroughs
the opportunity to determine by
vote the question of licensing the
sale of intoxicants in their respective
precincts. ] believe this is step in
the right direction. That it is a
moderate temperance measure, de-
creasing the amount of liquor con.
s lmed, is evidenced by the opposi-
ton of manufacturers and whole
sa!ers. But some arguments in its
favor appeal alike to prohibitionists
and to those favoring license.
First. 1t savors of Americanism,
allowing the practice of majority
rule upon one of the most stubborn
~ contested questions. The large
ness of the majority isa fair meas
ure of the sire myth of public svnti-
ment, a factor to be considered in
he question of law enforcement.
Second. 1t Is in line with the
trend of the times. The following
statement has recently been made:
"PennSy lvania stands a.One among
the really great states of the Union
in that it has no law which places
final authority directly with the
people in the granting Of liquor Ii
renses. Mass, \. Y, O., Ind, H.,
Mich, Wis, Min, Mo, Ncb., Ia.
Col, Cal, Ore, every southern state
except 5. Carolina, and nearly all
the smaller states like Vt, n. II ,
Conn, II. |. w. Va, S. Oak, and
some Of the territories, all have some
such forms of statute" And the
striking fact Is that this law in many
of the states has been passed within
The last ten years.
Third. The present law is unjust
to those fav0ring license. Few
those to sign petitions for it. Many
who would otherwise refuse find it
difficult to do so because of personal
Obligations to the dealer or social
relations with him. T ,e number
refusing to sign is not necessarily
rqual to that of those who would
vote against the granting Of license.
Those who sign are branded as
friends OF the traffic, their motives
ure criticised, and corresponding
treatment is meted out to them.
they bear the responsibility which
should rest upon the community
Probably the coming month will
witness the passage or defeat OF this
bill. All interested parties should
communicate with the assemblyman
elected by the voters Of the county,
also with Senator W. c. Miller, and
Hon. John Francis, chairman of the
committee of Law and order. Such
pressure represents the desires Of
their constituency. Blanks for pc
Iitions may be secured from w. l.
Riley, lSS n. franklin street,
Wilkesbarre, Pa. Such have been
circulated in many districts and
more than 1900 signatures secured.
OF these $50 are the names of voters
in Forksville, and the township of
Forks. EIkiand and Hillsgrove; and
and the popularity there is proven
by the fact that more than four men
signed it out of every five that were
requested to do so.

VALUE OF OUR NAVY
ITS MIGHTY INFLUENCE AS A PRO-
MOTER OF PEACE.

without mn Effective Sen Force the
Its Cost. Even IL Large, Does Not
Imply Extravaganza.
The cost of the navy for any men,
toned time, even If the sum Is large,
does not imply extravagance. Such
cost may have been the ideal of true
economy. says the Philadelphia Press.
1t depends on what the navy is intend
ed for and what it has accomplished
rs result of its existence. There may
have been no war in the time mention
ed, but the fact that the nation had a
navy may have prevented such ca
lamity.
If the nation had not been provided
with navy strong enough to meet
that of Spain the result of the war with
that country might have been very diff
ferent. The commerce of the United
States with Europe and Asia would
have been seriously interfered with,
causing enormous loss. American veS-
sells would have been swept from the
seas. Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pine Islands would probably still have
been in the possession of Spain. lor the
reason that without d sufficient power
full navy troops could not have been
landed on any one of those islands in
sufficient number to have accomplished
anything.
1t may be said that we could have
constructed a navy But that Is work
of years, not months. And while we
We're doing that our paralyZed COM
merce would have cost the nation
much more than the $1,00o000,000
which the navy has cost altogether in
the last twenty-five years. Besides the
actual loss in money there would have
been the loss of self respect and the
humiliation of practical defeat.
Without an effective navy the Mon
roe doctrine would soon become Il
mere reminiscence. Germany and other
nations with strong navies would
waste no words on Venezuela and 9TH
er South and Central American coun-
tries. but. would seize territory as
alleged affronts. The Danish West
India islands. Haiti and Santo Domin
70. Hawaii and other surrounding is
lands would now be in the possession
of strong European nations, our rivals
in commerce The way they have
seized other unprotected countries is
proof of that fact They have been
anxious for territory on this continent
and have only refrained from seizng
it because of the opposition of the
United States and the knowledge that
we have been ready to carry the Mon
roe doctrine into effect This has helped
the United States greatly in swelling
its commerce with the rest of the
world
Those are the facts that must be
considered in making appropriations
for the navy. The president and Sec
retary Morton and the general naval
board do not recommend large ap-
propriaton for any other purpose than
that of keeping the nation i'll condi-
ton properly to defend itself. Other
nations are constantly increasing their
naval strength. The United States has
more coast II defend than any other
power. 1t cannot afford to fall be-
hind. 1t is not question what has
been expended. but what is needed ana
what the nation can afford to do in the
way OF meeting that need.

verted her mind from other and more
serious duties, for, while giving much
time to social functions, the mistress
Of West Dean Park is a fond mother
of large family of children, to which
she is extremely devoted The Queen
has shown her appreciation Of this
motherly devotion by acting as god
mother to one of the James children,
who bears her sponsors name, and
seemingly delights in seeing her own
children in the company of Mrs. Willie
James.
Willie James is man of great
wealth, which he inherited in this coun-
try, where, he was born. He is a great
hunter and has often accompanied King
Edward on his hunting trips In Eng
land, where he has spent the greater
part Of his life. he is known as "the
husband Of his accomplished wife,
and apparently is satisfied with the
distinction bestowed upon him.
James fathers first wife was daugh-
ter Of Anson G. Phelps, but the mother
OF the former was an English woman,
which is supposed TO account for the
Jameses strong preference for life on
British soil. Mrs. Willie James mother
was sister Of Lady Mordaunt, whose
name inquired so prominently some
years ago In the British divorce courts.
and of Georgina, Countess of Dudley.
Like her husband. Mrs. James is of
American descent, and this fact has
often been the subject of comment in
connection with her popularity at the
court Of st. James, where even the
presence Of distinguished American
women, like the Duchess Of Man
chester. Mrs. Corvallis West and 9TH
ers, have In no way affected her social
influence.
The Jameses arrived from London
late In February and were the recipi-
ents OF much attention in New York
society. where many brilliant events
were given in their honor. Just before
starting on their Western trip they
we're the guests of Mrs. Ogden Mills
at a dinner at which were assembled
the most fashionable of New York
City. Shortly after their arrival here
yesterday the Jameses enjoyed a ride
to the park and ocean beach and re-
tired early to prepare for more strenu-
Gus sightseeing to-day.
