Aligned with Progressives

Carroll, Ia, August 2s.-The odore

with the progressives of New York

on the train today as he was traveling
across Iowa.
Colonel Roosevelt declared that the
main issue in the fight In New York
was not any specific reform measure
but bossism. Bossism. he declared, fire.
quently led to corruption and he said
he would wage ruthless war on cor
rupt alliance between business and
bosses. Colonel Roosevelt was asked
about remarks by Timothy L. Woodruff,
New York republican state chairman
in regard to the factional fight in New
York In reply he issued this state
ment:
THE progressives are emphatically In
favor of taking a real step forward
about direct primaeies substantially on
the lines of Governor Hughes prop
osition, but this is not the main is
sue. The main issue Is that we stand
against bossism. big or little, and in
favor of genuine popular rule. not only
at the elections. but within the party
organization and above all that our
war Is ruthlessly against every species
of corruption, big and little, and against
the alliance between corrupt business
and corrupt politics as to which it
has been found that too often In the
past the boss system has offered a
peculiarly efficient and Objectionable
means of communication. We are
against the domination of the party and
the public by special interests whether
these special interests are political or
business interests or compound of
the two"

termed the heart of the nation. He
told the audience he was glad to get

had enjoyed the lions in Africa more
than they enjoyed him.

dress a large gathering when Senator
Cummins appeared on the rear platform
by his side Hello, Cummnis; By George,

Roosevelt, as he grasped the hand OF the
Iowa senator and shook 1t vigorously.
The two men were soon m earnest con-
versation while the people who had as
sembled looked on with interest.
The need of placing the general needs
Or the country above all private interests
was Colonel Rooseveit's theme in his
speech here today. Iowa IS the state IN
which people are fortunately typical OF
what the American people should be, he
said
I'm fact, they place the generel interests
bafore the special interests. This is the
problem that is before the American peo-
ple TODAY we must subordinate special in
terests to the public good.

TODD to drop INTO them.
1t seemed to the people who
passed by the glass jar on the dusty
table that the little fingers were
always reaching out; but they were
very sensitive and tIrnid, and as
soon as they were approached by
anv object with which they were
unfamiliar, they would curl up and
withdraw themselves from sight.
The shri1nps that lived in the jar
with the anemone might bump
against her in their play, as often
as it happened, without causing her
to draw in so much as a single
finger; but they were old friends of
hers. and lifelong acquaintance.
With the scientist, however, it
was different; and every morning
when she felt upon the surface of
the water the strange touch of the
little stick with which he used to
pull the floating seaweed and waste
out of the Jar, she closed her little
tendrils tightly until the process
was over and the stick removed. In
fact. she knew nothing of the scien-
tiSt whatever, or the friendly inter
est he took in her welfare which
caused him to go to the trouble of
cleaning out her little glass world
every morning, and after doing so
to put bit of clam on the end of
the stick and place it within her
reach. SO that she would be able to
find it as soon as she got hungry.
But faithfulness, it seems, will at
last find the heart of even a little
sea anemOne: for one day, when the
scientist was feeling about in the jar
with his little stick, he noticed that
the anemOne did not shrink away
and clutch her feathery fingers, but
instead that she reached them all
out toward the stick. She was say
ing. I do not fear you any longer,
YOU clumsy old stick. Now where
is that clam"
Although the little sea anemOne
did not know that it was not to the
stick that she was indebted for the
clam. nevertheless her action filled
the heart of the scientist with most
exquisite delight; not, to be sure,
because he had succeeded in win
ming the confidence of his little pro-
tegee, but because he had established
new scientific fact.
NOTE.-This fact was related to the
author by superintendent Spencer of
the New York Aquarium.
