ROBINS0NS STIR UP A

Roosevelt's Nephew and His Father
Break Up Convention as For
mer's Boom Ends.

LITTLE FALLS, n. Y, July 30.-The
Herkimer county republican convention
which met here to name delegates to
the state and senatorial congressional
convention broke up in such disorder to-
day when Theodore Douglas Robinson
was granted the floor that adjournment
was taken without hearing the report OF
the resolutions committee Mr.. Robinson
Is a nephew of Theodore Roosevelt and a
defeated candidate for the congressional
nomination
Congressman Charles S. Wilmington was
permitted to name the delegates to the
twenty-seventh congressional convention,
which finally spelled the defeat OF young
Robinson. Douglas Robinson, with his
SON. both thanked those who had voted
for him.
When the convention came to electins
delegates to the state convention there
was much animcsity. The insurgents
rebeled against Daniel a. Strobei, the
state committeeman from the Oneida
Herkimer district, who will head the dele
cation IN the state convention, and the
debate grew acrimonious.
IN getting the tioor Douglas Robin
son, and his son said that they had only
begun their fight against the Herkimer
county machine So, much disorder fol-
lowed that the convention was declared
adjourned by the chairman before the res
olutfons committee could submit its re-
port.

HOLMES CONRAD WILL
SPEAK FOR THE "DRYS"
Will Preside at Meeting in Win
chester, Va, in the Interest of
the Anti-Saloon League.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WINCHESTER, Va, July 3O.--A mild
sensation was sprung this afternoon with
the announcement that Maj. Holmes Con-
rad, the Winchester and Washington
lawyer, had come from Washington to
preside over a large mass meeting of
men to be held Sunday afternoon in the
city hall auditorium in the interests of
the Anti-Saloon League. Maj. Conrad will
not only preside, but he will make an
address and introduce Rev. DIR. Charles
%. Bulla, editor of the Baltimore South
ern Methodist, who will speak for the
dry" cause in the present local option
campaign.
The announcement that Maj. Conrad
will speak on such an occasion was en-
tirely unexpected and is the principal
topic discussed here this evening. AL
though a lifelong resident of Winchester,
he has never before taken such an active
interest in local affairs, most of his time
being occupied attending to his WASN'T
ington law practice, and the Anti-Saloon
League forces are congratulating them
selves upon enlisting Maj. Conrad's in
terest. To be identified with the Anti
Saloon League has not always been popu-
lar in Virginia, and this diplomatic
achievement upon the part Of its man.
ayers has caused many to sit up and
take notice.
Mai. Conrad served on the staff OF Gen.
Thomas l.. Rosser in the Confederate
Army during the civil war, and was
United States solicitor general during the
second Cleveland administration He had
charge of the prosecution of a number
of the post office grafters several years
ago. and has handled other important
cases for the government

The Cure of Slums.
To the Editor Of The Star:

10 EultOr OF Inc star:
The preamble and resolutions adopted
by the Central Labor Union relative to the
cause of and remedy for the high death
rate prevailing among the children of the
city are unique to say the least 1t is
obvious that the union wants the sums
wiped out, and the city put in sanitary
condition, but how this estimable object
is to be accomplished it does not con-
descend to explain. 1t declares that it
will require large sum of money to wipe
out the Sums, but what it considers
large sum 1t does not suggest. It is
manifestly evident that the Central Labor
Union is conscious of a great industrial
wrong, but 1t is at a loss as to the
remedy Its scheme to wipe out the
slums without removing the cause is an
other striking illustration of attempting
to cure the disease by suppressing the
symptoms. 1t is like trying to stop a
locomotive by pulling at the wheels, with,
the throttle vaive vice open. 1t does not
take a philosopher to see that it is i'm
possible to wipe cut the slums as long as
the cause is permitted to do busine SIS at
the Old stand. Sluns are not artificial
entities that can be carted off, dumped IN
the river and thus finally and permanent
ly disposed of. They are eXcrescenceS on
the body economic, symptoms of a maliS-
nant social disease, and nothing short of
the eradication of the cause will suffice.
Sums are caused by overcrowding and
overcrowding is attributable to land
speculation, the withholding of land from
use in anticipation of future increase.
This Withholding of land from use causes
an artificial scarcity, and forces people
to live in noisome slums and squalid
tenements. There is enough land in the
District to maintain twenty times its
present population in ample comfort IL
is our shame and disgrace that single
death should be caused by overcrowdng.
Sums multiply while wealth augments.
and wages decline while the power of
producing wealth increases, because land
upon which and from which all must
live, is monopolZed. To abolish the
slums, to secure to the worker his full
earnings, to increase the return Cf ipit al
to extirpate poverty, to give remunerative
employment to whoever desires it, to at
ford full development to human powers,
to elevate the standard of intelligence
and morality we must take for the benefit
of the whole community the value which
the community creates. All that is
necessary is to remit all taxation now
levied on the products of labor and con-
centrate all taxation on the value OF
land irrespective Of improvements. This
will wipe out the slums, and bond
issue will! not be necessary.

Apples Free to Travellers.
from the Lewiston Journal.

From the Lewiston journal.
Along the highways near Topsham, Me-,
where new state roads are being built,
residents are grating the wild apple trees
outside the old stone walls along the
roadside with summer apples. early fruit
that will be ripe and ready for the way
farer. no matter whether he travel by
Old Dobbin, the automobile or shank s
mare
On these trees metal signs are to be
placed informing the public that the fruit
Is for public use, simply requesting the
same care and consideration for others in
picking the same that was shown by
those who have planted the trees or
grated them for the use Of all.
The idea is worthy of emulation every
where. 1t shows spirit of hospitality.
1t advertises the Maine apple. It brings
the summer visitor to Maine.
All this is part Of the new spirit of
progress that is coming to the country
side of Maine-trimmer roads, trimmer
houses, better fences, good "eatin' ap-
ples' all along the highway!
When Maine. decided to pursue def
mite, practical and statewide plan of
state road construction she took a step
ahead OF the oldtime confusion and
waste Of town road construction without
concerted plan or purpose-roads begin
ming nowhere and ending nowhere.
