Roosevelt and Bryan are much alike.
and yet they are vastly different" said
Michael Murphy. Of jamestown. n. Oak,
at the ShOreham, last night. Mr. Murphy
Is here attending the Prison Congress. He
is Democratic power In his State. and
has decided views on the present political
situation.
The difference between the two men
is. Roosevelt is a politician and talks for
political effect and elf-aggrandizement,
and Bryan means what he says because
ne believes in IL: he is honest Yet Roose-
welt Is very popular Many Democrats IN
North Dakota and other States would
vote for him to-day. / wouldn't For
Bryan | don't know; have voted for
him By the way, some of Roosevelts
speeches smack Of Bryan's speeches. one
OF fooSeVelts speeches. the one he made
IN Paris, The Man Before the Dollar
was almost repetition OF one Of Bryan's
speeches. What makes Roosevelt so pop-
ular? ! can tell you It's the vim he in
jeets into everything; his brooking no IN
preference his bossism: his brass band
and splendid press bureau. You cant
beat that combination"
Discussing ROoseveITs Ieanings to0,ard
insurgency. Mr.. Murphy smiled and said
that bis Western brand differed entirely
from the brand he dispensed al Saratoga
It's almost funny. Roosevelt has no use
for other leaders. He does not want a
Cummins, or a La Toilette or ANYBODY
else to play in his back yard; he wants
to be the whole thing all the time"
North Dakota politics were discussed
AS being favorable to the insurgent move
ment
Representative Hanna. who was re-
sponsible for bringing Roosevelt 70 North
Dakota, faces defeat for reelection"
added Mr.. Murphy He was not very
much pleased with Teddys speeches.
which were Insurgent all the Wav
through. while Hanna is a member Of the
old suard in Congress. Il looks as II
the legislature viii be Republican By a
reduced majority, insuring. however. the
return Of Senator McCumber. Burke
will be reelected governor. and il Is
most likely that a Democrat viii be re-
turned in place OF Representative Han

Eduard Heymann. KammergerichtsTe-
ferendar Of Berlin. Germany. who is al

no political significance; that they are

II should not be thought that Social
Democracy is growing" said DR. Hey
mann: in fact, their party was returned
70 the last Reichstag with diminished
representation. The German people do
not approve OF the anti-dyuastic move
ments OF the Social Democratic party.
realizing that If their doctrines should
ever be the order of the day, the prestige
Of Germany in every respect would disap-
pear Germany has not grown great and
powerful and wealthy and respected
through the sgitations Of the Social Dem
ocrats, but through the wise and prudent
policy Of the Kaiser and those who stood
loyal by his side. and who had the
greatness OF Germany before them rs

are not patriots, they have no particular
love for the land of their birth. 4 man
who does not love and defend the land

sequence IN any respect"
Speaking Of Germany's growing sea
power, DR.. Heymann said that a strong

Muscular superiority in Great Britain
is passing from men 10 women. accord
ing 10 Dr. G. J. Davis. OF London, Eng
land, who is al the Arlington.
The change Of habits among men IN
the last half century has Ted 20 a marked
muscular degeneration among them. The
extended use Of machinery, the tendency
10 abandon a rural for an urban life. and
the facilities for travel without exertion
are among the causes which have brought
about this State of affairs.
THE love Of athletic games is perhaps
as strong as ever" said DR. Davis. but
the people. instead Of sharing in the
games. are content TO watch a few eN-
perts. Hundreds Of thousand who pay
gate money to watch cricket and football
games never play themselves, while some
Of the manifest exercises, such as wTest-
ling. boxing. and fencing, are almost eX-
tjnct II is much the same with the rich
mans sport Instead OF tramping the
moors to shoot game. the sportsmen sit
at ease while the birds are driven within
reach of their guns. I cannot too seri-
ously advocate the practice of universal
physical culture TO check this degenera-

Some ssy larger but that is not so. The

that she is outgrowing her more indolent
