The professional peace advocate, he
continues, who opposed the upbuilding
of the navy would place the United
States where it would be at the mercy
OF any nation which wished to disre-
gard its desires to control immigration,
protect the Panama canal or take any
stand for international honor or right
eousness.
Mr.. Roosevelt adds that Those well
meaning but fatuous advocates of
peace who would try to prevent the up
building of our navy utterly misread
the temper of their countrymen."
America would fight, he says, wheth-
err prepared or not, and "all the peace
advocates could do would be to. pre-
vent this country from being success
full in the war"

IPMULSIvE INSANITY.
Asserted to Be the Kind Hams Had
When He Shot Annis.

Flushing, N. Y, May AT the OPEN
ing of court today District Attorney
Dewitt resumed his cross examination
of DR.. L. S. Manson, the alienist, who
testified yesterday that. Captain Hams
was suffering from maniac Oppressive
insanity at the time of the killing of
Annis. DR.. Manson was asked If any
form Of mental disease would be called
insanity. The physician thought it
would. Asked If a man suffering from
maniac Oppressive insanity, would be
able at all to plan and carry out his
acts, DR.. Manson said he would during
periods of Quiesence and at such times
would have a tolerably clear compre-
hension of his surroundings
When the captain stood on the
yacht club float at Bayside with folded

and shot Annis to death, what kind of
insanity was he suffering from at that
timer asked Mr.. Dewitt.

reply.
AT just what time did the impulse
seize him?''
81 can't tell; no one can," replied the
witness. TT probably was when he first
heard the name Annis."
Were the defendants mental func-
tons in operation up to the time of the
shooting?"
yes"
The fact that the defendant went
through Annapolis and Johns Hopkins
university, was certainly not a symp-
tom of insanity, the witness admitted.

This is the case in which A w.

turned over to Lucas. then sheriff, in
settlement of the case. Sudermeister
was charged with stealing from an
insurance company by which he was
employed. A complaint was filed in
Shawnee county; and the defendant
was arrested in his home town of
Kenton. Ohio. and armed with
requisition, Sheriff Lucas went after
him. He found Sudermeister in the
Kenton Jail, and anxious to get out,
but not anxious to come to Kansas
and stand trial. Upon his refusal to
come without requisition, Lucas went
to Columbus, had his reQuisition
honored by the Ohio Governor and
returned to Kenton. Here he was met
by Sudermeister's wife and her
lawyer, who wanted to settle" the
case. They were told by Lucas that
he had no authority to do anything
but take the defendant back. to Kan
sas. They prevailed upon him to wire
the Shawnee county attorney, who
consulted the insurance company. The
company wanted its money back, that
was all. The county attorney wired
Lucas to turn Sudermeister loose If he
wanted to pay the amount en-
bezzled together with the costs to
sheriff's trip to Ohio. This was gladly
done by Sudermeister's wife and
lawyer, and the case was considered
settled.

WOMEN AS UNCERTAINTIES.

A popular and interesting question which is gaining national prominence. 'Is women in industry" The sub 'ect Is being discussed by all the leading aasoSl ations and ,wonsen's clubs in America. The changed conditions of work is only the inevitable conSe- quence of women following vacations from their homes into the shops and factories.
 Where our gTandmothors spun, sewed, knit and wove in their own homes, the daughters of this genera. tiOn are following the same trades iIi l the mill, factories and shops.
 But these changed conditions and evolut!ons work great evils as every one knows, they have taken away the safeguards of the home. The same wholesomeness of surroundings anu environments have ceased when won- en have entered the race Of bread win hing along with men n the world. Added to this the temptation to get away from home and to earn money and have freedom, for an inexperi- ehced and Self-willed gEl who lacks judgment-nRe can readily see the ending
 To this Willfulness and the cupidity which also infects the parents is due the fact that tens of thousands of young girls and women leave their homes which are financially able to care for them and sell their labor aI minimum price in competition with men and those women who are forced to depend upon their labor for their sole support.
 Since women have invaded the working world labor has been cheap ened Women are found often doing mans work at one-half the wages. In this and in child work a cheap labor has grown up among us that overshadaws the effect of the great mass of the unemployed"
 There is no remedy for this save q moral awakening and a social devel- opment which can only come througL woman's influence, 1t was found by statistics recently that 40 per cent of the women working in the stores and factories were married women. Upon investigation they were there from necessity, not choice, because ther earnings were needed to support the family Hundreds were supporting the'r families while their husbands, brothers and fathers were out of work. The remedy for this condition lies with the women and tho law. But the law can only do this much, it can shorten hours cG Womanls employ ment, and it can improve, the condi- tion of woman's labor. The federal supreme court has made such decis- ions recently, and 1t lies in wOman's power to secure such legislation.
