AT THE HOTELS.

Green, Of New York, at the New VIII
lard last night The defeat OF the Re-
publicans and the victory Of the Demo-
Gratis Is so telling that its meaning can
not be mistaken. The people wanted TO
rid themselves of Roosevelt. and they
have accomplished what they set out for.
He, more than any other factor, has dis
rupted the Republican party, and has
brought defeat 10 it eVeryWhere II is
plain that the people Of this country will
not be dictated 10 by any one man: they
will not allow the judiciary and the
courts OF the land TO be insulted by any
body, and they will not give their conf
dence ID man who has stopped to the
lowest tricks OF the peanut politician.
In order 10 cut the Roosevelt cancer out
OF the cosmos Of the Republican party,
heroic measures were thought expedient.
and there is no doubt that many Republ-
cans voted against their own ticket Just
TO show their disapproval Of Roosevelt
But Roosevelt is not 70 blame for
everything. either" continued Mr.. Green.
1.-The Republican party has run its limit
and has ceased TO be effective for the
welfare of the people. There Is wrang-
ling and fighting within its household.
Republican Congress have not been
received with general approval by the
people Of this country, who evidently
thought 1t high time TO give the Demo-
Gratis a chance 70 attend 10 the affairs
OF the nation for a while and the Re-
publican party time for reflection and
meditation, as well as reformation.
This sweeping into Congress OF
Democratic majority means tariff revision
downward and many other Democratic
measures. II most likely means the
election OF a Democratic President in
1912. with good material 10 choose from,
as. for instance. Harmon. Dix. Foss. and
other successful party members"

/ " 3. Moore, OF Melbourne, Australia,
| who is at the Arlington. said last night
that about four years ago Premier Rich
ard Seldom, of New Zealand, undertook
in behalf OF the New Zealand govern
ment 10 contribute Sl5.0O0 toward the ex-
| penses Of the football team.
THAT was a team which swept every
| thing before it wherever II went said
/ Mr.. Moore, who is a football enthusiast,
/ ''and Premier Seldom saw in it a good
advertisement for the colony. He was
/ impelled thereto not alone by the popu-
/ lar enthusiasm which the victories Of the
! H1. Ero ba
/ sidered that a tour through the United
| Kingdom and the English colonies con-
| stituted the best advertisement that New
! Zealand could get in Europe. The prece-
dent thus established will probably lead
10 interesting developments in years 10
come. For if the government pays the
! greater part If not all. OF the expenses
of a football team in connection with its
! foreign tours. il naturally stands TO rea-
son that 1t will insist upon a voice in the
management OF the team, and perhaps
the entire direction thereof. We shall
! then md the various colonial govern
/ ments OF Great Britain dispatching 20
/ Europe and TO America football and
/ cricket teams which they have organ
/ lied. and which they manage, pay. and
control; in fact, these teams will be
/ government teams in every sense OF the
( word, and the members thereof will be
entitled 10 due consideration as full
| hedged civil servants Of the Crown.
The question will then arise, contin-
| ued Mr.. Moore "as TO whether a Ca
madam team. FOR instance. thus composed,
! could be treated as consisting OF pro-
fessionals and be subject TO al the hand-
/ caps and restrictions Of one kind and
another which are imposed upon pro-
fessionals. This is a problem which
American football authorities may be
called upon 10 consider some day, and il
is just as Well that they should be pre-
pared for ii. In one way, the members
OF such a team would be civil servants:
while. on the other hand, they might also
be described as the paid agents OF a
government advertising enterprise.
Governments other than those Of Brit
ish colonies may. once this question is
settled satisfactorily. see their way not
merely 10 subventioning. but also or
ganizing and dispatching athletic teams
abroad. not 50 much for the purpose Of
advertising their respective countries as
for promoting international good feeling
and friendship The German government,
for instance, might do worse than to send
to the United States one Of its crack
'tUTnvereins.' and there is no knowing
what the sending abroad OF a United
States baseball nine, paid and managed
by Uncle sam, might accomplish in the
way of fostering friendly sentiments in
Europe toward America.
4 lawsuit down in Texas has brought
TO light the interesting fact that each
ton OF rubber manufactured shows q
clean profit of nearly $1,000. according to
Samuel X Payne, Of Fl Paso, Tex, who
was seen at the Raleigh last night.
'"The rubber is made from shrub
called the guayule plant. This plant
grows about eighteen inches in height.
with a spread OF equal dimensions. II is
found in great profusion along the low,
