Crowds Follow Party


Around the docks the crowds fol-
lowed the American party wherever it
went, cheering frequently and shout
ing Viva America; viva Roosevelt"
As the Admiral sailed slowly out of
the port it was seen that King Victor
Emmanuel was standing on the bridge
of the Re Umberto. The battleships
saluted the departing guest and the
king waved his hand. while the former
president replied with a waving of his
hat.
Later Roosevelt discussed the plans
of his expedition with F. c. Selose, the
noted English hunter, who expressed
his regret that he could not accompany
the expedition beyond Nairobi, as he
had promised.
Before leaving Naples Roosevelt
sent the following telegram to the en-
peror of Germany:

your courtesy. A year hence l hope

IRONY of Fate.

Bill Stubbins used to be simple though
ambitious man
Who nodded his existence on a plain
straightforward plan;
He made it his set purpose to progress In
wealth and fame
And grasped each opportunity with
promptness as it came.
He didn't fret because his hands might
show the marks Of toll.
He prospered in life's sunshine like the
crops that crowned the soil,
And though his education showed some
earlier neglect,
When he offered his opinions they were
heard with great respect.
Bill struck it rich. For work he found
he had no further need
He turned to philanthropic aims that
knew no taint of greed.
He took the lecture platform and
straightway his fellow-men
Exclaimed. why. it's Bill Stubbins." and
commenced, Il knew him when.''
And Bill grew melancholy and was heard
to say. Il guess
There is no tellin' just exactly when

1t has been claimed on behalf Of the
Wright brothers that flying by means
Of their machine is safer than automo-
bling. as sport, and that with even
less difficulty than in motoring a novice
can be brought to the point Of etnciency
of operation at which he can be trusted
alone in an aeroplane. Yesterday one
of their pupils was spilled out OF his
machine at Rome and badly hurt. the
aeroplane itself being wrecked upon it's
descent. 1t is not yet known whether
the motor stopped in midair In conse-
quence OF some defect. or the aviator
himself became panic-stricken or suf-
fered an apoplectic seizure and lost his
balance. This Is the second serious mis-
hap to a Wright machine, that of last
autumn at Fort Myer, in which Lieut..
Selfridge lost his life and one Of the
Wright brothers was seriously injured,
being the first. In the Fort Myer acci-
dent a propeller somewhat longer than
usual was being used. and one of the
guy wires became loosened sufficiently
to permit the propeller blade to strike
it and break. The sudden disablement of
one of the fans caused the machine to
swerve violently. and before the operator
could regain control it struck the ground
headlong. This disaster demonstrated
the need OF tighter system of guys. and
gave a guide to the relation between the
size of the propeller blades and the ma
chine itself. Probably it will never be
repeated. But no amount OF experience
can forestall the possibility of the opera
tor losing control Of himself. or succumb-
ing to an attack of Illness induced by
the swift motion through the air. The
question arises whether successful and

The Washington Star sapiently doubts
whether the President is coquetting with

Ing with President Taft 1t is very plain
that certain classes Of southern demo-
Gratis are in more than receptive mood
toward the Presidents supposed banker

meet him more than half way and are
rather disappointed at the slowneSS and
modesty of his overtures."

The comment about President Taft and
the south would indicate him as the first
republican President since the war to
speak kindly of the south and show a

as a matter of fact all have done SO.

warm friends. The souths greatest SOL

The Tariff Situation.

This is the opinion Of the kansas City
Times:
Senator Nelson w. Aldrich can't help
rejecting that things have come to
pretty pass if a man can't nix up his own
tariff to suit himself
Flippancy is hardly in order. Mr.. AL
drich Is a serious-minded man, and the
tariff a serious proposition. Nothing is
to be made out of exaggerations or mis-
representations. The proper thing is to
face the situation squarely, and appraise
the actors in the drama correctly.
What is the situation? The work OF
revision Is proceeding openly and agrees
sively on the confession, made without
blush or a stammer on both sides OF the
chamber, that the tariff is a local ques-
ton. All the states are asking to be re-
membered, and all are likely to be re-
membered. 1t may not have escaped the
observation of the Times that Missouri
is keeping the company of her sister
states. She, too. wants to be remem-
bered And she will be remembered. 1t
is to the interest of Mr.. Aldrich as the
republican leader to see that she is re-
membered. He has got to find votes
enough for the bill he has in charge. and
they may not be had without concessions
right and left.
That Mr.. Aldrich as a senator from
Rhode Island should be on the lookout
for the industries of his own state is en-
tirely natural. and that he will secure
for them all he can Is to be expected.
Those industries are numerous and
varied. Little the state is. but. in the
manufacturing and commercial world,
she Is loud. Protection has done good
deal for her. and she respectfully solicits
a continuation of the favors.
In a general way, therefore, Mr.. Aldrich
stands on a plane with the other senator's.
Each one is looking out for his own.
Some are candidates for reelection and
are now making campaign material.
When they 60 before their people next
year 1t will be upon an appeal based on
their present activity in the revision of
the tariff schedules. Mr.. Aldrich, 1t is
stated, will not seek reelection, but as
he wants to retire with the plaudits of
his constituents, he is improving this last
chance to serve them in legislation in
which they are vitally interested.
Mr. Aldrich's leadership has its disad-
vantages as well as its advantages. He
lacks a great deal of the power to fix
up tariff bill to suit himself" He Is a
master OF the tariff subject, and knows
what he wants. but he also knows what
others want, and that it takes votes to
pass tariff bill through the Senate. He
must find those votes; and the thing for
the senators to do who are asking as
much for their states as he for his is to
see that Rhode Island secures no unfair
share. of the favors that are going. and
that in the general distribution the con-
sumner gets his full share. The tariff bill
is not in Mr.. Aldrich's. hands, but in the
hands Of the Senate.

Tail Coats and Statesmanship.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Much excitement has been aroused In
Washington over the fact that President
Taft is found at his office every day clad
in coat guiltless of tails and generally
of a gray color This seems to sound the
death knell of the tail coat. For years it
has not been seen in the rest of the coun-
try save on formal occasions, but 1t has
held it's own in Washington and especially
at the White House. Roosevelt never
appeared except in the conventional
prince Albert and this was the coat of
Mckinley and his predecessors back to
the days when all gentlemen of profess
sional rank wore the "shad- belly" The
frock coat still fingers on few Of the
statesmen from the south who bark back
to the civil war. but these few survivals
simply accentuate the fact that the sack
coat is now triumphant.

FrOm tne JHckSOnvlIIe I1meS- UHlUH.
If America proposes to be a world
power why not be the worlds peace
power? We believe our country could
put an end to wars. To do SO it would be
necessary to take risks in men and
money, but the risks would decrease year
by year. Let the United States invite all
nations opposed to war to form an al
lance to settle all questions by arbitra-
ton. Let these nations provide a court
of arbitration for the settlement of all
disputes involving any nation belonging
to this alliance or wishing to join it. and
then let them back the decisions of this
court with all the power at their COM
mand. 1t would not be many years before
the decisions of such court would be
backed by such irresistible force as to
command unhesitating acceptance from
all the world.

No Favoritism.


From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin
The United States is committed to the
policy of protection, and would make a
serious blunder by departing from it.
But the policy of protection is endangered
whenever the slogan of protection is used
to further a scheme of favoritism. Sta
tistics demonstrate that hosiery and
gloves do not need more protection than
they had under the Dingley tariff. To
advance the rates on the articles In those
schedules would be rank favoritism. Fa-
voritism and genuine protection are at
swords points.
