TAFT HEARS FROM ROOSEVELT.
Letter Is Cordial and There Is Less
Talk of a Break.
washington Dispatch to the New
York SUM-

| washington Dispatch to the New
York SUM-
President Taft today received most
cordial letter from Col. Roosevelt This
letter was written to the president just
before the colonel sailed from the other
side and apparently came over with him
on the steamship Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria. The Roosevelt letter was written
| in reply to letter that President Taft
had sent to him in the latter part of
his triumpha1 tour of Europe 1t was
not known until today that President
Taft had been in communication by
letter with Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft's friends said tonight that
the letter which reached the White
House today from the colonel had been
read by the president with the greatest
pleasure. They added that it was
written in most friendly and cordial
spirit. as one very close friend would
write to another. 1t is said also that
there were only a few references in the
letter to political events. but that Mr.
Roosevelt related in characteristic
vein MANY of the incidents that had
occurred on his trip through Europe.
The exchange of informal letters be-
tween MI 1d1t ara the FORMER pfeSl-
dent is taken here as positive evidence
of the continuance of the best of feeling
between them and of Col. Roosevelts
intention to come out in strong support
of the Taft administration.
Col. Roosevelt sent only a formal
message to President Taft through
Capt. A. w Butt, who delivered the
presidents written message of well
come to the colonel on his arrival in
New York yesterday. 1t is expected
that the colonel will acknowledge this
letter in formal way later.
President Taft will probably leave the
White House for Beverly next week.
and his friends would not be surprised
If he extended an invitation to Col.
Roosevelt to call on him soon after he
arrives in Beverly

The Lost Cause.

On the Augusta House porch last
evening a little group of politicians
were conversing upon political sub
jects when the matter of prohibition
very soon came up. None of the
group was in favor of the continuance
of the Sturgis Commission. All OF
them were disposed to regard the
liquor question from liberal stand
point. Nevertheless it was agreed
| with unanimity that in obtaining the
constitutional amendment OF pro-
hibition Gen. Neil Dow builded for all
time that prohibition would remain
part of the public policy of the
State of Maine. Why" leading
Republican from Aroostook said, "a
two thirds vote is practically the vote
of the entire people. You never can
obtain a two thirds vote taking pro-
hibition out of the constitution OF
Maine" This also was agreed to by
the group. In the desultory con-
yersation following reference was
made to the fact that 80 or 40 years
ago with a Maine Legislature in ses-
sion perhaps a majority of the mem
bers were users of liquor. Twenty
wears ago, ten years ago even. there
was considerable drinking among the
statesmen of Maine. Beginning about
ten wears ago the practice became less
in evidence and has fallen largely into
disrepute among representatives OF
the people assembled in biennial ses-
sionS.
At the last Legislature the use of
liquor was very little in evidence
among the statesmen assembled and
then very privately INDUCED in.
In every city of Maine up to ten or
evening called upon their familiar
friends it was quite the practice for
the host to bring out liquor from the
sideboards ceIlarets. Within the
last ten years this practice has faded
away. 1t is unusual for hosts to offer
callers a drink during modern calls.
Success in the professions. in me-
chanics, in trade at the present time
demands not only temperance but. as
rule, total abstinence from in
toxicating liquors. These facts are
well understood and few men of in
telligence in either the Republican or
the Democratic party would work or
vote for the restoration of the public
saloon and as, we believe. even for
resubmission. No political party
can make any Roadway by advocating.
as the Democrats do. resubmission
of this settled question in Names
policy.
Two years ago Democracy tried it
and failed. This year it again crops
out and it will be worked to catch
votes in the cities of Maine. but even
among the Democrats the more in
fuential of their leaders and the rank
and file of their following are opposed
to the proposition and regard with
aversion any step looking toward free
rum and the open bar.

The Dueilo.

During the first fifty years of the old
American navy. 179S- 1S4s. the mortality of
naval officers resulting from duels was
two-thirds that resulting from naval
wars. In the eishty-two duels listed by
a recent writer thirty six men were kill
ed. all naval officers except three civil
ianS. The per cent of mortality was q.
or five times the mortality of the federal
army in the Civil War. One-half of those
not killed in these duels were wounded.
The large number of casualties was un-
doubtedly due to the short distance be-
tween the combatants. which constantly
was only ten PAGES. or thirty feet. In a
few duels the distance was even less. In
the Barron Decatur duel 1t was twenty
four feet. and only twelve in the Balm
bridge Cochran duel.-Indianapolis News

Words.

1t is truly wonderful, when you stop to
think of it. this power of words-just
words printed in black on white. without
even the help of the voice. without any
appeal at all except to our imagination.
Here they are, grouped in various ways.
and as our eye travels over them all sorts
of pictures arise before us. Our hearts
grow sick with pain and sorrow. or we
break out in laughter. We toss about on
high seas or languish in fetid prisons,
we are old or young. poor or rich. as the
words choose. And we have only to re-
arrange these words to produce quite
opposite impression. Surely it is an
amazing thing, more SO perhaps than
anything the words succeed in telling us!
