AT THE HOTELS

1T should not be concluded that Col.
Roosevelt has decided TO cast bis lot with
the insurgents because he has their lead
ers as his guests and callers at Sycamore
Hin these days. said A. \. Compton. Of
Boston. who is at the Arlington.
ut strikes me that Col. Roosevelt wants
to be Informed at first hand about the
aims and the prospects Of the insurgent
movement with relation 10 the stand
patters and Cannonism In Congress and
| throughout the country. Col Roosevelt
Is man who gets at the bottom OF
things quicker and with greater accuracy
than any other man that / ever heard
Of and his confabs with the insurgent
leaders are no more nor less than giving
him an opportunity to put himself in thor
| ough information with the movement.
ION the other hand. however, it should
not be surprise IT, after Roosevelt has
| Investigated and delberated over the
cause Of the insurgents, and found their
policies worthy OF recognition, he comes
out into the open and declares himself
in their favor. OF course. he is Just as
liable to take the opposite attitude II
the doctrire Of Representative Murdoch
and Senator Cummins does not impress
him favorably. He is trying to get his
bearings. You may put It down, however,
that before long Roosevelt viii declare
himself either an ii.surgent or a stand
patter.
The victory of the Iowa insurgents IS
quite significant and will probably have
some bearing on Roosevelts attitude. and
will naturally make the standpatters feel
little shaky as to the outcome in other
s1re
fntrenched."
DR.. H. J. Russell, of Philadelphia. who
ia at the New Willard said yesterday
that too much eating is the cause OF
more sickness than any other evil. not
excepting that OF TOO much drinking.
"Of late years" said the physician,
there has been an immense amount CT
argument tending 10 show that we all
eat too much. This serves 10 Offset the
complaints Of many human beings 10 the
effect that they cannot get enough 10
eat. IL is rather a compliment to our
country that it should be so difficult 20
persuade its people to give I'D eating.
since this implies that food is tremen-
dously abundant Henry " OF France
won the love OF his countrymen by de-
every peasant could have a chicken 10
stew one day in each week. Most Amer
| leans could have q chicken three times
g day, If they wanted. except perhaps
| the remarkable old ladies whom one
finds in the stories OF Mary Wilkins. who
manage TO go for days with nothing more
20 eat than one egg and little currant
jelly.
Some years ago Or. z. H Dewey be-
| gan 70 preach starvation as a cIIre for
| everything continued Dr.. Russell md
published a little book containing nor
! traits Of sundry patients Of his who had
gone without food for twenty or thirty
days at time. Or. Dewey particularly
objected TO eating breakfast; and he him
self never eats any breakfast. though
ms portrait would lead one to suppose
that a whole series Of morning meals
would do him considerable good.
Another advocate of the starvation

Grant s. Evans. OF Chicago. who has
just returned from an extensive tour Of
Russia and China and the far East in
the interest Of certain American capitaI-
lists and is at the Arlington. in speaking
about the situation. said yesterday:
Husjia and Japan seem 10 have ar
rived at the conclusion that they should
agree on the future Of Manchuria and
China. and that part OF the world
am not dreaming or rambling when 7
make this statement. I know whereof 7
speak. These two countries which not
many years ago emerged from a unost
sanguinary war, have come together on
| a business basis with regard to the
future OF the far East They viii try 10
dominate the policies of China. as will
be experienced before long by those
powers which viii try TO have a say.
Manehuria is as good as lost 10 China.
and is absolutely closed 10 everybody
| else but japan and Russia, notwith-
| standing the much-taiked-about omen
door policy. This IS an empty phrase.
which. however. pieases the American
state Department, in WOefIi ignorance
Of the true situation in the far East. II
the State Department is on 10 the game
IN Manehuria, II Is doing mighty little
10 protect the interests of America.
Japan has announced in the papers
that she viii annex Korea; that there is
no opposition on the part of the Korean
people. and that the Korean royal family
is well provided for and will raise no
protest against the annexation II would
indeed be futile on the part of the
Korean people TO oppose the japanese
plans with regard TO their country. Ko-
rea is filed with japanese soldiers, and
| the Koreans have been deprived OF their
arms. 1t is another case OF benevolent
assimilation. The danger of Japan lies
IN hn l.
American will lose. The japanese have
no idea Of warning against the United
States. but shrewdly keep this bugaboo
before the public to cover their real plans
in China"

German scholar has decided views on the
temperance question and pays high trib-

who are lighting the drink evil, and ex-
pressed the hope that the movement will
grow stronger in Germany and finally
abolish the use of alcoholic drinks alto

Statistics prove" said DR.. Kiepert,
that the consumption Of alcoholic drinks
decreases more and more from year 10
year per capita among the German peo-
pie. Since a decade and longer, there is

fatherland a very strong movement
against the consuming OF alcoholic
drinks in any form. This Inovemant Is
