PRESIDENT IN PERIL.
Roosevelt Narrowly Escapes Death in
q Midnight Sea Collision.

a Midnight Sea Collision.
After a narrow escape from losing his
life in n midnight collision, in which the
lighthouse tender Magnolia, on which he
was travelling. was so much damaged
that he had to abandon her, President
Roosevelt was landed safely on board
the cruiser West Virginia Friday, hav-
ing been transferred from the Magnolia
to the revenue cutter Ivy. which carried
him to the cruiser West Virginia. Neither
the President nor any member of his
party was injured in the accident.
The first news of the accident reached
New Orleans by telephone at an early
hour Friday morning, coming in the
shape of an appeal for help from Capt.
Rose Of the United Fruit Company's
steamer ESparta. which was the vessel
that was in collision with the Magnolia.
Capt. Rose gave no details except that
the boats had struck each other, that the
Magnolia was ashore, but that the Pres
ident was unhurt. The message came
from Marin, La. near which point the
accident occurred.
Immediately upon the receipt of the
news two powerful tugs left New Or
leans with riders to go at full speed to
the scene of the accident. Meantime,
however, the Presidents party had man
aged to get in communication with the
lower part of the river, where it was
known that the lighthouse tender. Ivy
was lying. The Ivy Immediately got I'M
der way and covered the forty miles in
rapid time. President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Loeb and Surgeon Rixey with their
baggage were at once transferred and
the Ivy proceeded down the river to the
West Virginia.
When President Roosevelt boarded the
cruiser and started Oh the homeward
Journey by sea he began a trip that took
him off American soil for four days
something that has never before happen
cd to an American President during his
incnmbency. By means of wireless teleg-
raphy. however, the President was in
almost constant touch with shore Turing
the entire trip.

able or unreasonable, is unwise. What
we need is to have some administrative
body with ample power to forbid COM
bination that is hurtful to the public,
and to prevent favoritism to one indi-
vidual at the expense of another.
In other words, we want an admin
istrative body with the power to secure
fair and just treatment as among all
shippers who use the railroads-and all
shippers have a right to use them. We
must no leave the enforcement of such
a law merely to the department of JUS
tice: it is out of the question for the
law department of the government to do
what should be purely administrative
work.
The abuses of which we have a genu-
Inc right to complain take many shapes.
Rebates are not now often given openly.
But they can be given just as effective
ly in covert form. and private cars. ter
minal tracks. and the like must be
brought under the control of the commits
sion or administrative body, which is
to exercise supervision by the govern
menr.
But, in my judgment. the most impor-
tant thing to do is to give to this admin
~istrative body power to make it's find
ings effective, and this can be done only
by giving it power. when complaint is
made of q given rate as being unjust
or unreasonable, if it finds the complaint
proper, then itself to fix 4 maximum
rate which it regards as just and rea-
sonable, this rate to go into effect prac-
tically at once-tha is. within a rea-
sonable time-and to stay in effect I'M
less reversed by the courts.
1t must be understood. as a matter
of course. that if this power is granted
it is to be exercised with wisdom and
caution and self-restraint. The inter
state commissioner or other
government official who failed to protect
Il railroad that was in the right agains,
any clamOr, no matter how violent, on
the part of the public, would be guilty
of as gross n wrong as if he c~orruptly
rendered an improper service to the rail
road at the expense of the public.
Lashes the Grafters.
In a brief speech at Atlanta Presi-
lent Roosevelt numerically dashed the
grafters in politics and called On de,
cent men to denounce dishonest Off
Gals and whip them into ~obscurity.
"Drive every dishonest and corrupt
man out of Office shouted the President.
You are false to your trust as Ameri-
can citizens if you allow such a man
to remain in Office a single day. No
matter how high the mans standing,
drive him out if he is corrupt"
1.-THE surest way Of bunting the pub
lie conscience in dealing with corrup-
ton is to confuse the public mind as
to who is corrupt and who is not.
"In our legislative bodies, in our ma
tionaI Congress, if you know that any
man is corrupt you are not to be excus-
ed if you do not hunt him out Of public
life.
"Instead of asking that you be len
lent in your judgment of any public
man, I hold that you are recreant to
your duty if you are %lenient. If you
have good reason to believe he is cor
rupt, then refuse under any pleas of
party expediency, under any considera-
ton. from refraining from shifting him
with the sword of the Lord and of
Gideon"

Of idle people. strikers are destroying

Beneath the surface there was murn

patched troops to surround the build

To add to the alarm the strikers sue
cpetiti in stopping the machinery or
the electric light plant and the city
was plunged in darkness.
Though the task of continuing the
general strike more than a few days
seemed utterly hopeless to the practi-

rooted craving for liberty that the agi-
tators have experienced little difficulty
in inducing all classes of wOrkmen to
Join in the anti-govcrnment demOnStra-

the 100 EARLY r


1t Is not every master of English
who appreciates, Is Tennyson seems to
have done, the clarion cali of "the
crested bird that claps his wings at
dawn" Carlyle did not. read
er Of Mrs. Carlyle's letters does hot
recall the grimly humorous tale of the
great mans tantrums when their next
door neighbors kept poultry? The
%anathemas he lavished upon the pre-
sumptuous rooster that crowed him
awake in the small hours were truly
magnificent examples of t~hunderous
denunciation. and there was no peace
in the Carlyle household until tile
wise wife, summoning her utmost
charms Of tongue Inc toilet, had made
a call next door and persuaded the
owners Of the obnoxious bird to boil,
stew, fricnssee, or in any other suit
able manner abolish it from the face
Of the earth.
A less crotchety and cantankerous
author thar the great ~Scotchman, an
American, spending his vacation III
q restful country village, encountered
the rooster problem not long ago and
conquered 1t after Il fashion of his
own. The too early bird in this case
rerchcd on 4 cellar door directly be-
meath the victims window, n did
not even wait for dawn before issuing
his challenge to n lazy world.
For two nights the unwilling listen
or pitched and tossed and grumbled
and endured: on the third he rose to
the occasion. Beside the desk stood
q waste-basket of generous proper
tons. 1t was TO this he turned. At
taching a line to the bottom and
weightinG the upper edge with a row
Of paper-weights, he deftly lowered
this ingenious trap until it hung i'm
mediately above the rooster, but not
near enough to attract his attention.
A moments pause to calculate posi-
ton and be sure that all was right,
then the cord was cut, the basket
dropped, and chanticleer was neatly
extinguished in mid-crow.
The experience Of Doctor Grenfell.
of Labrador, with a rooster which de-
sired to crow at intervals all night
will doubtless be recalled by many
readers. The doctor once had to pass
the night at a small house, over
crowded even before his arrival. There
was absolutely no place for him to
sleep except on top of the hen-coop.
For a man used to hardship that vas
nothing; but for a man tired by a
long journey it was much that the
rooster underneath should almost at
once manifest a determined predilec-
ton for untimely noise.
1t was not to be lorne-but neither
was the neck of his hosts rooster to
be wrung, In a land where fowls are
scarce. Nevertheless, he thrust down
his hand between the Stats, grabbed
the birds neck, and held on 1t with
a grasp tight enough to produce
silence though not s~uffocation.
But as the doctor grew sieepier his
grasp would relax. Then the outraged
captive would emit a feeble squawk.
or the beginning of a cock-a-doodle
doc not destined to be finished, for
the first notes would again rouse the
sleeper. who would straightway
tighten his clutch once more.
So the night passed. When morn
ing came the rooster was alive, al
though afflicted with a stin neck. and
the doctor had slept-a little.

FOSTERING THE SILK INDUSTRY
Mrs.. Roosevelt Secs in 1t an Income

Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt Is not fond
Of the limelight, and she says moth

friends about her many little philan-
%thropies, yet she is one of the most
patriotic of all women who have ten-
anted the White House. and is always

York Press. She Is sponsor for what
promises to become the great Ameri
can silk in~dustry-an enterprise CON
templating the establishment OF II bust
ness that may rival European II
ASiatic commercial interests in that
line. Mrs. Roosevelt. at the inaugu-
ration ball in last March, wore a silk
gown which had been woven OH Amer
lean looms. Before she leaves Wash
inGton she ma appear ut another Dig
affair in II frnck entirely OF Amerl-
can production, for she Is fostering the
culture of silk worms by American
N and already the plan has had
n large measure OF success. SILK worms
thrive wherever mulberry trees Or

for six weeks. Forty thousand worms
hatch from an ounce Of eggs, and their

cents to 81 Il pound.
1t is Mrs. RooSevclt'S idea that silk
worm culture in the United States Will
be conducted principally by
wive and daughters, as ii is i'll E1-
rope. There is no cas- 90 why ocoon|
should 10 be as important II product
of every farm as honey or milk. Large
profit is offered by the industry, and
the government is eager to encourage
it. The Department of Agriculture
will sent cuttings of seedlings on ap-
plication. Three years are required to
get mulberry trees far enough along
to yield an ample quantity of leaves,
When that is lone the department will
send the beginner all the eggs the
grove will feed. Secretary Wilson
Uncle Sans deputy in this project
makes no charge for the young trees
or for the eggs. All the silk raiser
has to contribute is work, supplement-
ed by patience--and neither in great
degree. Miss Ethel Lois Pritchett, &c
years old, Of Albany, Ind, has pro-
duced cocoons from italian eggs finer
than anything shown by Italy. She re
ceived high praise from Mr.. Wilson
for samples she sent to the department
