The Storer-Rooseyelt Mlxup.

OF all The unfortunate political
personal mixups that have occurred,
recently, the Roosevelt-Storer in
cidcnt is the limit. The situation
Is briefly this: BelIamy Storer,
recently Ambassador to Vienna
was removed by President Roose-
welt last August and has printed
and circulated among the members
of the Cabinet aud the members of
the foreign relations committee of
the Honse and Senate, a pamphlet
purporting to give correspondence
exchanged between him and Mrs.
Storer and President Roosevelt,
leading up TO Mr.. Storer's dismiss
al.from the diplomatic service. 1t is
not considered good form to give
out private correspondence with
out permission Of the person to
whom it is directed, still less is it
customary to thus drag the Presi.
dent of the United Ssates into a
public controversy. Mr.. Storer
did both of these things aud forced
President Roosevelt to issue from
the White House II statement
branding the Storer publication rs
wilIfulIy false and misleading.
Back of the whole matter lies
the story of Il womans ambition.
This story is well known in politi-
cal circles and had already caused
the President much annoy ancc.
The only wonder has been that the
reason for Mr.. Storer's removal

For producing the photographic

on piece of pasteb.mrd of the
form of the card, WHICH. il ia claim
ed. has many advantages over
writing, as it cannot be deciphered
except by reproducing machine.
The recording Of the human voice
is done by an ordinary phonograph
of simple construction, by means
Of a pencil with a sapphire point,
This pencil makes its impression
upon a suitable substance called
''sonorine" spread upon the sur
face of the card. The souorine,
which can be casilY aprcad over
pastboard, possesses all the prop
critics ofa wax cylinder, and is in
reality the invention. The signs
are impressed in the form of Il
spiral, beginning at the margin of
the card and ending in u very small
circle, and arc impressed so deeply
that the stamping 10y the postal
authorities eau only destroy two
or three words. The card has
ample space for ahout eight,
words.

The latest boost the gotM rond

The latest boost the good ronds
movement has received cams from
the good roads convention which
met in Mrskogee, /. r., last week
At this meeting President w. H.
| Moore, of the National Good
Roads Association, condemned the
use of convicts in the manufacture
of market articles and declared
| that convict Iadnr should be used
in building public roads. One Of
the most novel arguments yet ad
! vanced for good roads was made
at the Mnskogee convention by
| Miss Alice Robertson. postmistress
Ut tl.at place. She stated that bad
roads were largely responsible fo'
| the insanity of farm women.
Statistics show, she declared, that
20 to so per cent of the insane are
| farmers wives and that bad roa Ii
prevent them from commuuicat,
ing with the outside world.
One of the strange elements in
the good roads movement is the
apparent apathy of the farmers
| themselves. They are the ones
| who would most directly benefit
| from improvement of the high
! ways. If II farmer is in a po 81
| tion to market his products at the
| most favorable time he gains just
that much over other farmers. Dur
| ing the winter season it is not un
common to experience weeks at a
time when some country roads are
practically impossible. In conse,
qnence the prices Of farm produce
get higher and there is splendid
opportunity for the farmer who
| has a good road to his market.
Arguments on the good roads
| question, however, are all on one
| side, The problem is as to how
they shall be built. In this matter
the employment of state convicts
| Is involved. That they should not
compete with free labor is obvious,
| hut in the making of roads they
would not compete with any sort
# labor. This is work tina,
| would not be done if it wero not
| for the convicts themselves, and
every mile of good road the con
victs would build in any state
would mean a substantial saving
for all time to the farmers and
others using it.-Kansas City

great artists, those who make
their music felt, have the finest
kind of musical learning. This
sense is so keen that they distin-

of ear-training along these lines
will cultivate the qualities of Il

badly fractured by falling backward
on the cement sidewalk after a heavy
blow administered by Ernest Nerviani

mains sent to San Francisco.
After striking Rodgers, Nerviani fed
to his home at San Anselmo. He was
arrested by Sheriff Taylor this morn
