TOM WATSON TO ROOSEVELT.

nTr President

Mr. President:
The express companies are rObbing
the people Of many millions Of dol
lars every year in excessive charges
for carrying small parcels In every
civilized land, save ours, the govern
ment carries these small parcels at
a nominal cost, as a part Of the postal
service.
In America, a venaI congress keeps
the yoke Of the express companies
fastened upon the people and Will not
allow the government to establish
parcels post Mr.. President, viii you
not FIX your attention upon this mon
strOus abuse2 VIII you not come into
the arena and help US in the fight for
the parcels post?
Mr. President, the railroads are
charging the government $65, 900, 600
per year for carrying our mailsi This
represents a yearly income Of more
than ? per cent upon three billion
dollars
Squeeze out the water, and the rail-
roads OF the United tSates could be
bought for three billion dollars
Therefore, on the carriage Of malls
alone, your administration is paying
the railroads more than per cent
upon their entire valueI
The government could float a per
cent bond at par. and If il issued en-
ough bonds To pay for all the roads
the annual interest charge would be
no greater thanwe now pay for carry
ing the mails.
Can you do nothing about this, Mr.
President? Is your strong arm pow
erIess to defend the people against
this high-handed robbery
Mr. President, your administration
Is now paying the Oceanic Steamship
company $4,000 per year to carry
mails to the semi-savages OF Tahiti
This island is under French control
French steamers offered to carry these
mails for $500 per year. Your admin
istratiOn refused the offer, and con-
tinued to pay an American corpora
ton $4,000. Did you know this, Mr..
President? Is there nothing you can
do about il Must the taxpayers be
pIundered Of $4,000 every year sim
ply because an American corporation
wants the money!

Che CbedtreS
"Hun,an Hearts,.

Human Hearts" had its annual pre-
sentation In Montgomery last night
The play has been produced here SC
often that the fairly good-sized au-
dience which assembled at the Mont
| gomery Theatre knew what to expect
and the audience, especially those in
the galleries. seemed to enjoy every
/ bit of it.
The melodramatic situations. no
matter how impossible, no matter how
much overdrawn, invariably drew the
applause and the actors who were
time and again called upon to appear
before the curtain wore smiles of sat
isfaction. They might not have rel
ished the task set before them by the
man who conceived Human Hearts"
but they had the pleasure of feeling
that they were earning their sala-
ries.
One may never Judge the ability of
an actor by such plays as Human
Hearts" II they do at all we'll they
deserve communication And the COM
pany of last night did fairly well.
Perhaps the villain, played by Mr..
Geary. and his companion, the heart
less wife of the Arkansas blacksmith.
played by Miss Francis, were the most
consistent of the actors. They were
at least convincing enough In their
villainy to earn the enthusiastic Kisses
of the audience.
Little Adele Shirley, the inevitable
baby of such plays, worked hard,
looked cunning and won the heaFts
of everybody. She Is not a bit over
five years old and a singularly pretty
child. 1t was worth the money to
hear her lisp the lines and to say her
baby prayer.
There were times when Mr.. Walt
ham showed genius as the faithful old
negro servant but he had lapses. The
same might be said of Miss Holland
as the blind mother. AS for MIR. Fair
banks, as Tom Logan, who is the hero,
the leading man. he was amteurish
throughout Every picture in which
he appeared was married by his self
consciousness. He impressed even the
gallery that he was a mere actor rath-
err than the great-hearted blacksmith
of the Arkansas hills.
There were other players in the
company who did not rank better than
Mr.. Fairbanks. He is singled out
merely because better things were ex-
pected of the leading man. s@s
The Juvenile part, Ruth Larixin. was
assigned to Miss lockwood, who has
convinced US in the past of her merit
but Miss lockwood hardly looked the
Juvenile woman. She was, however. so
far ahead of some of her associates
that her inability to look the part is
forgiven.
AS usual Mr.. Vaudeville provided
special scenery for his play and on
the whole the people who went to see
1t were well satisfied.

I'm Mans Clothes, Mrs. jenkins Went
Across Continent.
New York, Nov. 2.-After a three
months journey across the continent
from Nevada during which she was
attired in men clothes. Mrs Margaret
Jenkins arrived here Tuesday. says a
dispatch to The Herald from Wilkes
barre, Pa.
She was making her way by stealing
rides on freight trains was bound for
Lewiston, Pa, where she has relatives.
Lehigh Valley Railroad special Of
ficer saw her in a freight car and ar
rested her. Not until she was taken
to the station house did she reveal the
fact that she was a woman, and then
she told a story so pathetic that she
was released.
She said that eight years ago she
and her husband left Scranton for Me-
vada, where they lived happily until
three months ago, when he deserted
her. Too proud to remain in the town
where she was known. but penniless
and without friends to whom she could
appeal, she decided to make her way
East.
Finding that as a woman even food
was refused her and that work was
impossible to obtain, she procured
mems clothing. cut of her hair and
resumed her journey Eastward. Her
sex was never disclosed, nor was she
arrested until she reached here.

Tariff Plans.

Washington, Nov. 2-Ambassador
Speck Won Sternburg of Germany. who
has been In Europe for several months.
much of which time was spent in his
native country, returned to Washington
this evening. His wife. who accompa-
MED him abroad. will sail for home the
latter part OF November.
The ambassador brought with him
the invitation of the German govern
ment for the negotiation of a new
agreement between the United States
and Germany to replace the existing
commercial arrangement which expires
early next Spring. He will present this
draft to Secretary Root at the earliest
possible moment, probably this week.
While In Berlin the Ambassador had
several interviews with Emperor Will
liam and frequent consultations with
the officials of the foreign Office, by
whom he was made fully conversant
with Germany's policy regarding Its
commercial attitude toward foreign
countries. particularly towards the
United States. This knowledge will en-
able him to deal readily with the ques-
lions that may arise In framing new
treaty.
The invitation to the State Depart
ment expressed sincerely Germany'S
wish for trade agreement with the
United States and In its general tenor
is in keeping with the sentiments ex-
pressed by the imperial chancellor.
Prince Won Buelow. in defining that
country,s attitude on this subject in the
Interview with the Associated Press In
Berlin several days ago.
In that interview the prince suggest
ed that perhaps an agreement could be
obtained most expeditiously by the
meeting of men from each country hav-
ing special acquaintance with customs
and tariff matters, thus giving an OPP
portunity for an open and frank inter-
change of views and friendly explana-
tious
