Lectures In Paris, Berlin and OK
ford--Represented His Country
at King Edwards Funeral.

Scarcely less interesting than his
hunting trip In Africa, and at times
almost as exciting. were the adven-
lures of Col. Theodore Roosevelt in
Europe. There he desired to be treat
ed as man of letters and science,
rather than as a sportsman, and his
desire was gratified. But in addition.
Europe insisted on receiving him as
the most distinguished American of
the time. and everywhere he went
honors were showered on him. EN-
perors. kings, princes and all manner
of royalties and nobility greeted him,
dined him and toasted him. and the
people in all the lands that he visited
turned out in vast throngs to see him
and cheer him.
In Paris, Christiania, Berlin and OK.
ford Mr.. Roosevelt delivered scholarly
public addresses and the literary and
scientific circles opened to let him In
and marveled at the wide scope of his
knowledge.
The event connected with Mr..
Roosevelt's European tour that
aroused the most interest and excite
ment occurred Immediately after his
arrival in Italy early in April. Before
he left Africa his desire to pay his
respects to the pope had been con-
veyed to the Vatican and the holy
father had intimated that he would be
glad to see the distinguished Ameri-
can. About the same time former
Vice-President Fairbanks was in
Rome and had arranged for an audi
ence at the Vatican which was can
celled by the pope because Mr.. Fair
banks first addressed the Methodist
mission in Rome. When Colonel
Roosevelt reached the Eternal City he

He Fell Hard but HaushtiIy.

Attorney General Wickersham, at a
dinner in Washington, said OF
wrong-headed financier:
His methods are so deplorable that
when he tries to defend them, he goes
to pieces. In fact, he reminds me OF
an old man who was brought up be-
fore a country judge.
'Pethro, said the Judge, you are
accused of stealing General Johnson's
chickens. Have you any witnesses!
"'No, sah!' Old Jethro answered,

800 Gold Bullion Stolen On Joseph Shannon
Moving Ship Chairman

Seattle, Wash, Sept. l3.-Gold
bullion valued at $57, 500, part of a
consignment Of $4,000 from the
Washington-Alaska Bank of Fair

for Dawson and White Horse the
gold was contained in three wooden
boxes and was in the care of tie
Alaska-Pacific Express company.
When the boxes were opened by
the Canadian customs officers at
Dawson the golden bars were found
to be as stated in the express COM
pany's papers.
The boxes were opened again at
the United States Assay Office in

Democratic Convention Harmon.
ious. Republicans Badly
Split.

Owing to Governor Hadley again
shifting his position, this time from
a standpat to an insurgent stand, the
Platform Committee Of the Republi-
can Convention has been deadlocked
and it is doubtful il the two factions
in the Republican party will be able
to get together.
The Democratic Convention FORM
ulated platform and is ready to
make il public, but as was done two
years ago, il will not be announced
until the Republicans are agreed.
When the Republican platform COM
mittee met in Governor Hadley's pri-
vate office he had major part OF the
platform already prepared and Of
fered II for adoption. The first snag
was struck when the governor at
tempted to deal with national issues
and incidentally Endorsed the con-
servation policy Of Theodore Roose-
welt. At this the standpatters stood
on their legs and howled, and al
though the convention has adjourned
to give the committee an opportunity
to reach an agreement, it has failed
to do so up to the hour of our going
to press.
Under the law both parties must
have announced their platforms not
later than six O'Clock Wednesday
evening.

UNFAIR WITH ITS READERS.

The 81, Louis Gl0be.DemOcrat, one
81 the NOS, bitterly partisan ~ all
metropolitan newspapers, has small
regard for correctness in its prolific
predictions, but unblushingly admits
IN the face NJ adverse results that
they were expected and therefore not
surprising, notwithstanding il had as-
sured It's readers edltDrialIy that the
opposite was true
When Cannon invaded Kansas, the
Globe depicted the insurgents on
dead run before the sledge hammer
blows oi that doughty old warrior,
and assured its readers Of the success
Of the Stand-patters. After the
sweeping insurgent victory in that
state, the Globe-Democrat admitted
that il was not surprised and that re-
suit was looked for.
That paper assured its readers that
the insurgency movement was wan.
ing throughout the country and that
the early primaries and elections
would show great Republican VIC
tory. Now il admits that the hand
writing was plain upon the wall and
in the light Of the sweeping results Of
last weeks election it prints the fol.
lowing remarkable editorial:
'To the Republican party of the
country there is nothing particularly
encouraging in the results Of the vot-
ing, final or preliminary which took
place on Tuesday. Nor is there any
thing especially discouraging. The
Republican majority in the state cleo
ton in Vermont was slightly below
the average Of the past half cen
fury. LaFollette swept the primaries
in Wisconsin, and will probably be re-
turned to the Senate for another term.
His candidate for governor was also
nominated, and so were all the insur-
gent members Of Congress in that
state. The insurgents likewise car
ried Michigan in the primary, and
one OF their number will succeed
Burrows, regular, Il in the Senate.
New Hampshire was carried by the
insurgents for the g0vernorship
candidacy, but the regulars were
renominated for Congress. In the
state convention California ratified
the choice made in the recent pri-
maries, and the insurgents won the
ascendancy. The Taft administration
was indorsed, but only in negative
way, while ex-President R0osevelt's
name and his policies called out loud
applause when mentioned. But there
is nothing In these demonstrations to
create any especial surprise. All
were expected. l."
Now, II "all were expected" why
didn't the Globe-Democrat deal hon
estly with its readers for once and tell
them the true condition. But 1t is
not expected that II will be any fairer
in the future than In the past.
