ency and has already broken down
the old regime; he made straight the
way before the Taft administration
to effectuate those policies they both
advocate. But in doing all this he
aroused the personal animosity OF
certain congressional leaders of his
own party, necessarily so, and he
could not hope to make headway with
Legislation.
However, he did succeed in secur-
ing for his successor a man
whom he knew to be in
hearty accord with his own policies,
and upon Taft devolved the RESPONSE
billties of perpetuating those policies,
that have come to be known as
Roosevelt's, through legislation en-
actment. His procedure necessarily
differed from that OF Roosevelt. His
was the duty of securing the votes of
the very men Roosevelt antagonized
in arousing the public conscience. to
support those measures over which
they and Roosevelt had disagreed.
Did any chief executive enter upon
his Official career bound by more
specific promises than Taft volun-
tarily assumed, and under circum-
stances more unpromising? Yet,
William Randolph Hearst declares he
las done all these things. and today
We witness the humiliation of Joe

bused Roosevelt for not securing

Not one of President Roosevelt's
sermons got into the statutes In all
the seven years of his incumbency;
not one of the malefactors, whom he
30 savagely denounced got into pris-

Taft found the country In a state
OF panic and placed IL in a high state
of prosperity at the end of the year.
Taft is prosecuting the sugar trust:

Here are two Democratic views OF
Taft and Roosevelt bit hostile TO
Roosevelt, perhaps. but his place in
the American heart Is secure enough
that he needs no defense. Unjust

STITCHES MAIN ARTERY
IN WORKMAN'S THIGH
Prof. Sonnenburg Performs a
Remarkable Operation

BERLIN, April 23.-Professor Son
nenburg, one of Germany's leading sur
geons. reports a remarkable case Of
vein stitching
There recently came 10 his depart
ment at the Berlin Mmunictpal hospital
a young artisan into whose right thigh
a splinter of steel had entered AT frst
the wound seemed unimportant. but
swelling began, and an operation was
found necessary. The x-ray showed
that the main artery Of the thigh had
been torn almost straight across its
entire width.
First Doctor SOnnenburg completely
severed the wounded artery, and then.
with the aid of the finest needles and
the finest silk, stitched it together
again. Within three days il was pos-
sible to feel the pulse at the joint neaT-
est the wound. proving that blood was
coursing through the stitched artegT
in perfectly normal fashion.
Doctor Sonnenburg, who is Ger
manys most expert Appendicitis oper-
ator. recently stated at the local sur
gicaI congress that his daily practice
emphasized more and more that the
prompt use of the knife was the only
salvation for appendicitis sufferers.

CROWN PRINCE ANGRY
WITH COUNT HOCHBERG
Publication of Letters Ends
Their Friendship

BERLIN, April 2S.--According to the
court news agency. the Neue Gesell-
schaftliche Correspondence, the German
crown prince is filled with deep and
justified wrath over the disclosure of
his private letters to Count Hans Fer
nand Hochberg in the recent New York
criminal court proceedings against
President Barnes of the Cottonwood
Creek copper company
The news agency says that the
friendship between the crown prince
and Count Hochberg was of an earnest,
sincere kind that one rarely meets.
Count Hochbergs idealistic makeup
always struck the crown prince as a
model of the best human qualities.
The crown prince regarded it as alb
solutely impossible that his friend
would ever let these intimate and con-
fidential letters get out of his hands
least of all hand them over to a mining
speculator.
In talking with his Berlin and Pots
dam comrades the crown prince has
left no doubt that he considers his
friendship with Count Hochberg, after
such a breach of confidence, as abso-
lutely at an end.
The kaiser, too. has taken occasion
to express himself as highly displeased
over the publication of his sons pri-
yate letters.

erals think that the king will not want
to see the struggle prolonged until 1t
gets so hot that nobody knows what
will be the outcome. The south of Eng
land remains phlegmatic and tory, but
passion is rising in the north and in
Scotland and the old graybeards are
beginning to talk of the fights in which
their forefathers were ready to shed
their blood for the winning of English
liberties. The lords and their friends
are going on in a quite infatuated way
and seem to have no real realization of
the fires with which they are playing.
ASQUITH MAKES MISTAKE
The big struggle between the minis
try and the Irish members need not
have taken place at all If Asquith had
shown more tact and firmness at the
beginning of the struggle. Instead OF
rushing off to the south of France he
should have seen Redmond, had a
frank talk with him and arranged a
common line of action. But Asquith
has been a great deal shaken by the
anxieties of his office, by the overwork
of the last year and by the death of the
fance of his daughter, the son of the
earl of Aberdeen, who was killed in a
motor accident. He is a somewhat sar-
donic man, proud, reticent and brusque
and he has no abounding love for the
society of his fellowmen, especially
after he has seen so much of them dur
ing a parliamentary session and an
election campaign.
And meantime misunderstanding
were growing up which have taken all
these weeks to remove. The budget
has ceased in itself to be very unpopu-
lar in Ireland but there remains sus-
picion of Asquith, who is not loved OIL
trusted in Ireland because he once was
a follower of Rosebery and because he
was one of the group which sterilized
the last great democratic parliament
on the question of home rule.
However, it looks as If Asquith haC
to do the right thing now because it Is
the only thing he can do. If he tries
to shilly shally on asking the guaran-
tees he will be kicked out of Office BY
| his own supporters and the Irish will
help in doing so. But 1 don't think II
is likely to come to that. So far as
can see the party which means to fight
the veto soundly, promptly and cour-
| ageously has now won in the cabinet
and it looks as If the course were clear

TOURISTS IN ROME MAY

Shortage of Rations Worries
Foreign Association

ROME. April 23.-The Tourists as
sociation fears that the expected crowd
of foreigners in Rome next year may
find the city short of provisions, SO an
attempt is to be made to form COM
pany to supply Rome through next
year with frozen meat from America.
Efforts are also being made to start
vegetable gardens near Rome. This,
indeed. would be an admirable thing,
for vegetables are few, bad and dear
in Rome simply because the people are
too lazy to start vegetable gardens in
the Campagna. If present conditions
continue it will be impossible to feed
the Romans alone. to say nothing of
the millions of foreigners whom the
sanguine Italian expects to fleece. The
prices of vegetables in Rome are prob
ably higher than in any other city in
the world.

SALON REJECTS WORK

Declined Pictures Accepted by
Royal Academy

PARIS, April 23.-Much satisfaction
is felt among American artists in Paris
over the acceptance by the Royal
academy in London of a picture by
r. B. Maybee, which was refused only
d few days ago by the old salon.
Maybee is a hard working young
artist, who has several times exhibited
in the salon. The canvases which he
offered this year were fully equal to
those of any former years, yet all of
them came back.
Another American artist who has ex-
hibited in the old salon for many years
was informed at the last moment that
an important picture of his-one of the
best he has ever painted-had been
accepted. His surprise was intense
when he learned the next day that it
was rejected His friends ascribe this
result to adverse personal influence.
