ROOSEVELT AND NEW YORK
Says City Wants Him Elected to
Office Which Takes Him Away.
rBy The Associated Press-l

Denver, Aug 29-In a few brief sen
tences Theodore Roosevelt outlined what
he considers the attitude of New York
City toward himself when he spoke at
the dinner given by the Colorado Live
stock Association te-night-
One Of the previous speakers had
mentioned knowing him while he was
Police Commissioner of New York. and
in referring to that acquaintance Mr..
Roosevelt said:
When I was made Commissioner of
Police I was ushereG into office with
great acclaim. I said / was going 70
try to enforce the laws and New York
smiled and said: Go ahead After
ninety days New York woke up 10 the
fact that it was being treated on basis
of morality it had never hoped 20 at
tain. New York never realized it could
be as good as it was.
New York was in a ferrlent until the
judges came to the rescue of the peo-
pie They decided that seventeen beers
and one preIzel made a meal. and New
York breat1ed freely again. Ever since
that time New York has felt an alert
interest in NE and an ardent desire TO
see me elected to any Office that would
take me away from there.

said:
When I represented myself. like my

DOGS as BRIDESMAIDS"
CARRIED I'm GOrEeOusIy Embroidered
Gowns and Lace at Ceremony.


From the Wheeling Intelligence.
In a wedding ceremony recently per
formed in New York dogs acted as
bridesmaids. They wore gorgeously en-
broidered gowns with tiny lace. The
three attendants frisked and capered
about while the clergyman was reading
the immortal words OF the marriage serv-
ice. The best man and matron of honor
had all they could do to keep them in
bounds
Many brides are keenly DESTROYS for
novel effects in this eliminating function.
Although they might not go so far as
the bride referred to, they would like
some such effect if they felt sure it
would net be called eccentric. II they
do not have the knot tied at a society
entertainment or public museum, or in
balloon or diving bell, they may content
themselves with some unique flower
scheme or fiorid color arrangement in
decorations or dress.
But why this need for novelty at so
sensational a period? When friends
gather to hear a man and a woman say
that they will forsake all else and cieave
to each other in sickness and in health
until death do them part, there is a
dramatic climax before which every
thing in the way Of accessories becomes
mere tinsel and glitter, in the face OF
human interest so compelling,

From the Chicago Reoord-HeTald.
The action OF the board of directors Of
the opera co npany in deciding to with
draw ''Salome" from further representa-
ton will be generally accepted as show
ing good discretion and suitable re-
gard for the proprieties. For "Salome 3"
in some OF Jts aspects. whether i'm
moral or no, is repellent and disgust
ing. The action OF the local board merely
repeats the action that was found de-
sirabie by a similar body in New York.
Il seems probable that "Salome" would
have been censored IL due course-and
in short course-by the opera-gOing pub

has tired of its crashing climaxes and
its weird effects. The work has. in all

it may be. still discloses marvellous
technical mastery and possesses in a
high degree some of the most marked
/ characteristics OF the age, may be ac-
counted a gain. ''Salome" has enriched
and varied the present opera season
yet discretion, after all, is the better
part of holiness, and the avoidance OF
controversy that might have shown the
enterprise and the community in an un-
desirable light has much to commend it.

This seems TO indicate that the present
system of examination is inadequate to
exclude with conspicuous degree OF
success actually or potentially insane
men from the navy and Marine Corps.
1t is remembered that the navy is par
ticularly exposed to this danger, for, be-

which are actually the outgrOwth Of de-

To guard against enlisting such men

vising some means Of giving a practical

The factor which will have the mosi
influence in selecting recruits with a
