MANS DUTY is TO DO OR DIE
RABBI WISE SPEAKS OF RoosE
WELT INFLUENCE.
Declares President Is Greatest When
He Shakes OFF Trammels Of Party
Allegiance for Right

New York, Nov. 5.-Dr. Stephen s.
Wise, for the past six years rabbi Of
Congregation Beth Israel at Portland,
Ore, child labor commissioner of Ore
gon and one Of the leading spirits in
the progressive movements among the
Hebrews on the Pacific coast, spoke
Sunday afternoon at the Young Mems
Christian association. DR.. Wise's topic
was do or Die Versus Don't and Die"
DR.. Wise said:
Men are warned constantly of tho
consequence and peril of becoming
extremists. The man who dares not
all for truth and right, lest he sacri-
Zee his influence and his prestige, has
neither the one nor the other to lose.
Theodore Roosevelt Is the great
saving asset of the Republican party,
because, he is rightly held by the ma
ton to be scorner of consequence.
Roosevelt is greatest when he is him
self, his daring and achieving self.
when, shaking off the trammels Of
party allegiance, he dares to follow
right, aye, to lead the people Alright.
The supreme test of his courage is yet
to come if 1t should become his duty
to appeal from his party in congress,
to all the parties in the nation for the
support, enactment and execution of
those measures, which are justly and
equitably to serve the welfare of the
whole American people" 80

OIL FIELD is SALTED.
MAouokET1 CITIZENS ARE VIC
TINS OF RUSE BY GRAFT.
ING PROMOTERS.

Clinton, Ia, Nov. 5.-The general
opinion prevailing in the vicinity of
Maquoketa, Iowa, near which town
crude petroleum was found in pond,
is that the residents of the town have
been victimized by persons whose OBJ
ject was to deceive probable invest
ors.
1t is contended that few barrels of
the crude oil were probably dumped
in the pool to give rise to the impress
sion that oil existed there. A small
quantity of the substance would have
been sufficient to establish a big oil
boom. Biologists who visited the
scene report that, no oil bearing stra-
ia las been found in the vicinity and
declare that they believe the find
is a hoax, pure and simple.

SAILORS EVIDENCE
C0NWCTS A WOMAN
ALLEGED TO HAVE SOUGHT FOR
LITIGATION PLANS.
WAR STUDENT IN PRISON
Man Who Claims to Be interested In
Questions Of Armament Generally
Found with important Draw
ings In His Possession.

Paris, Nov. 5.-Two recent cases Of
espionage have attracted more or less
attention here.
A woman of Toulon, suspected of be-
ing a spy in the employ of q foreign
power, was convicted last week on the
testimony of sailor, who swore she
had tried to bride him to steal the
plans of certain Notifications and sub.
marine vessels.
The other case is that of CASTOR
Maitrugue, an artillery reservist, who
was arrested at Meaux for a trifing
offense. When searched the firing in
structions' for the French army and
tracings of drawings of the mechan-
ism Of siege, field and other guns
were found in his possession.
Maitrugue claims that he is simply
interested In the question of arma-
ments generally, but appearances are
against him, His case is still pending
as, generally speaking, cases of es-
pionage are not much more numerous
to-day than usual.
Arrests of suspects, especially on
the German frontier, take place con-
stantly and are exploited by sec
ton of the French press as proof of
the warlike designs of Germany.
Deputies to Reassemble.
Interest in the reassembling of the
chamber of deputies centers In the
reading of the ministerial declaration
of policy. Premier Clemenceau's state
ment is very long. 1t was declared by
a good authority to be great literary
effort. The programme for internal
reforms to be set forth therein is con-
sidered to be the most advanced ever
presented in France, and the approval
Of these reforms is believed to be viz.
tually assured beforehand. In the mat.
ter Of foreign politics the cabinet is
expected to follow the same course as
has hitherto been pursued. The pre-.
mier's statement will conclude with
the demand for a vote of confidence
from parliament so that the cabinet
may effectively carry out its projects.

Fresh Air Towers.

DIR. Scherl, well known physician
and an authority on national hygiene,
has made a singular proposal to the
Berlin town council. which this body
is now considering. DR.. Scherfs pro-
posal is that the town council should
build airy pavilions at several points
of the city at about $50 feet above the
level of the streets. These pavilions
would be supported on strong steel
frames and reached by elevators
Their purpose is to afford rest and re--
freshment and good air to citizens
weary of the maddening noises, the
unrest and the noxious smells of the
streets.
There would be plenty of seats up,
in those airy pavilions, plenty of flow
ers, good beer, lemonade, water, mu-
sic and other enjoyments. As to the
question of cost, DR.. Scherl is certain
that his pavilions would pay, especial
ly as no rent would be necessary and,
far from being eyesores, the pavilions
might be graceful and artistic cree
lions, adding considerably to the
beauty of the streets.

WANTED THE FRESH AIR.
Confinement in Church Not at All to
Youngsters Taste.

Shortly after Mrs. X. arrived at q
certain village much favored as q
summer resort, she took her two
small sons for walk. In the course
of their peregrinations they visited
the village cemetery, where the epi-
taphs on many of the old tombstones
were read and commented on, the
boys seeming to be duly impressed
with the solemnity of the occasion.
The following day being Sunday.
Mrs. X. wished her sons to attend
services with her in the village
church. Both boys objected strenu-
ously to having their spiritual ma
lures ministered to in this fashion. 1t
might be endured in the city, but in
the country and during vacation time
they thought they might be allowed
their freedom. Finally, after consid-
cradle discussion, the elder Of the
boys asked earnestly:
Mamma why won't it do just as
well If George and l go and walk in
the cemetery"

TRisuTE TO 4 BULL DOG.
He Was Disfisured with Scars, But a
Faithful Brute.

would very much like to add q
few remarks upon the loneliness OF
that horrid bulldog, says writer in
the New York Times. My dog was a
yellow and white coated animal, with
the wet, pink mouth, with little black,
spots upon the pink. He was the
most faithful brute ever knew;
ugly as could be to his own kind;
was disfigured with scars from fierce
battles. To me he was gentleman.
He had the misfortune to have one Of
his toes nearly severed from one OF
his hind paws from coming too close
to moving machine covered 1t
with an ointment and sewed the paw
up In an old kid glove. Every other
day would remove tls bandage and
place the foot in dish of warm BIZ
carbonate of soda water.
When cleansed and taken out of the
water would rebandage it again.
He would turn, as wise as he could
be, look at it and put his wet mouth
up to my cheek and lick my face and
hand. Gratitude was in his great eyes.
He would guard me all day long.
When night came would invite him
into the cottage and make bed of
straw-filled pillows upon the floor,
and after rubbing his chewed-up ears
he would lick my hand and cheek
and we would part for the night. How
safe I felt in that lonely spot, which
was only byroad in an Indian res
ervation section of country.

Guilty in trimming Montezuma High
school in foot ball contest at Penn
gridiron Saturday afternoon. Oska-

at every trick of the game and easily
won by score of twenty-five points
to none for the visitors. They earn
ed four touchdowns and kicked two
of four possible goals. They got the
ball over the visitors goal line for
two touchdowns and kicked goal in
each half and were blowing down the
field in the last half for another touch
down when time was called. The
halves were Of twenty minutes dura-
ton.
Oskaloosa played a more open game
than with West Des Moines and made
great success of end runs, delayed
passes, forward passes, and time after
time they were successful in making
the ten yards in three downs. They
had the ball the greater part of the
time and carried it much farther than
their opponents as the score will in

better knowledge of the game than
did their opponents and showed far
better generalship in working the
team. On defense Oskaloosa fire.
quently broke through Montezuma's
interference and downed the ball for
from five to ten yards loss. They
were successful in stopping attempts
to run either of their ends, they re-
turned punts in nice shape and ON di-

aggressive work they had little diff

line at any point and but for severe
penalties several times administered
they would have made at least one

and the ball was in Montezuma's ter

The individuals of the team all did
praiseworthy and fearless work. Pill

II is probable that the new platform
for the old moderate party, presented
Saturday by Gen. Ruis Rivera, will be

The Rivera programme is conserva-

ton. These measures will make nee
essary constitutional amendments.
