Roosevelt and the Insurgents.

Representative Champ Clark was late
this year in appearing on the Chautau-
qua circuit. but Is making up for the
delay by the character of his addresses.
His hearers are being entertained with
a stirring line of talk and some proph-
ecy. He told an audience in Illinois The
other day that Mr.. Roosevelt would be
the candidate of the republican IN
surgents for President in 1912.
Why should the insurgents make Mr..
Roosevelt their leader? What do they
know about his tariff views? Had he
been in tho White House would the in
sursent program In the recent revision
contest have been completely success
full? His procedure would have been
different from that of Mr.. Taft but
would more have been accomplished
by 1t? There might have been no dill
at all, but. instead. a party split threat
ening far-reaching and lasting
consequences. Mr.. Roosevelt on the
tariff is largely an unknown quantity
and 1t is but fair to say that he has
never pretended to any special knowl-
edge on the subject.
Even If 1t should appear upon his re-
turn that Mr.. Roosevelt sympathizes
with the insurgents in the fight they
made against Mr.. Aldrich and threaten
to continue, would he permit them to
put him in an attitude Of opposition 20
Mr.. Taft. who will be his party's logical
candidate three years hence? The re-
lection OF Mr.. Taft would be a repub-
lican confession Of failure. After such
a step they could not hope to win with
anybody. Neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor
another. upon any sort of platform.
could repair the damage that would
result from refusal to appeal to .he
country with the man who had pre-
sided over the making of the record.
Such an overture on the part of the
insurgents would remind Mr.. Roosevelt o.
thing that happened in the early months
of 1904. The republican insurgents OF tha
time made advances 10 Mr.. Hanna: ant
they were well received. Indeed. with Mr.
Hanna's consent. Hanna boom was
launched. The insurgent complaint wa.
that Mr.. Roosevelt had put aside the re-
publican platform and was heading fol
populism.
Mr. Roosevelt took notice of the matter
at once. and practically announced hi,
candidacy. This sobered the insurgents
Mr. Hanna had strength with the bust
ness men. and personal popularity witt
tho politicians. but Mr. Roosevelt was il
ONCE. enjoying all the prestige OF tn,
place. and to deny him an Endorsement
when he desired, and hts friends thought
deserved, it would be to handicap Mr.
Hanna fatally for the campaign. The
Hanna boom collapsed. and the Hanna
men were forced to fall in behind Mr.
Roosevelt.

his executive order warning every man

in politics he will be discharged. He

NATURES DEFENCE
AGAINST DISEASE
Is Strengthened by the Tonic
Treatment for Rheumatism
as This Maine Case
Proves.

Pure, red blood is the body's only de-
fence against disease. When healthy,
the blood attacks the poisons of disease
and so changes them that they can be
thrown off through the lungs, skin, kid
neys and bowels. In fact this is what
tile blood is constantly doing and dis
ease occurs only when the blood be-
comes impure through errors in living,
such as overwork, worry, lack of fresh
air or of nourishing food 1t is then
unable to overcome the poisons and thew

the weakest organs the disease gains a
foothold

tary. She says:
For five or six years I was victim

Use Of Injunctions Necessary.
Another labor question has arisen
which has awakened the most excited
discussion. That is in respect to the
power of the federal courts to issue
injunctions in industrial disputes. As
to that. my convictions are fixed. Take
away from courts, if it could be taken
away. the power to issue injunctions
In labor disputes. and it would create
a privileged class among the laborers
and save the lawless among their num-
Der from most needful remedy avail
able to all men for the protection of
their business against lawless invasion.
The proposition that business is not a
property or pecuniary right which can
be protected by equitable injunction is
utterly without foundation in prece-
dent or reason. The proposition is
usually linked with one to make the
secondary boycott lawful Such
proposition is at variance with the
American instinct and will find no
support, in my judgment. when submit
ted to the American people The sec
ondary boycott is an instrument of
tyranny and ought not to be made
legitimate.
The issuing Of temporary restrain.
ing order without notice has in several
Instances been abused by its incon
Slderate exercise, and to remedy this
the platform upon which was elect
ed recommends the formulation in q
statute Of the conditions under which
such temporary restraining order
ought to issue. A statute can and
ought to be framed to embody the best
modern practice and can bring the sub
ject so closely to the attention Of the
court as to make abuses of the process
unlikely in the future. American peo-
pie. if I understand them. insist that
the authority of the courts shall be
sustained ard are opposed to any
change in the procedure by which the
powers of court may be weakened
and the fearless and effective admin
istration of justice be interfered with
Having thus reviewed the questions
likely to recur during my administra-
ton and having expressed in a sum-
mary way the position which I expect
to take in recommendations to con-
gress and in my conduct as an execu-
tive, I invoke the considerable SYM
pathy and support Of my fellow citi-
zens and the aid Of Almighty God in
+ the discharge of my responsible duties.

The Labor Question.

Ahoie 10 oAe olHei matter TO winch l
shall refer. 1t was made the subject
of great controversy during the cleo
ton and calls for at least a passing
reference now. My distinguished pred
ecessor has given much attention to
the cause OF labor, with whose strug-
gle for better things he has shown the
sincerest sympathy. At his instance
congress has passed the bill fixing the
liability of interstate carriers to their
employees for injury sustained In the
course of employment abolishing the
rule of fellow servant and the common
law rule as to contriEutory negligence
and substituting therefor the so called
rule of comparative negligence. 1t has
also passed law fixing the compen-
sation of government employees for
injuries sustained in the employ of the
government through the negligence of
the superior. 1t also passed a model
child labor law for the District of Co
lumbia. In previous administrations
an arbitration law for interstate COM
merce railroads and their EMPLOYEES
and laws for the application of safety
devices to save the lives and limbs of
employees Of interstate railroads had
been passed. Additional legislation of
this kind was passed by the outgoing
congress.

further legislation of this character.

the name of President Monroe.
Our Notifications are yet in state
Of only partial completeness. and the
number of men to man them Is INSULT
cient. In a few years, however, the
usual annual appropriations for our
coast defenses, both on the mainland
and in the dependencies, will make
them sufficient to resist all direct at
tack, and by that time we may hope
that the men to man them will be pro-
vided as necessary adjunct. The
distance of our shores from Europe
and Asia, of course. reduces the ne
cessity for maintaining under arms a
great army. but it does not take away
the requirement of mere prudence,
that we should have an army sufi-
GENTLY large and so constituted as to
form a nucleus out of which suitable
force can quickly grow.
What has been said of the army
may be affirmed in even a more en-
phatic way of the navy. A modern
navy cannot be improvised. 1t must
be built and in existence when the
emergency arises which calls for its
use and operation. My distinguished
