The Gun Carrier.

Roosevelt on War and Politics.

At a dinner, when a guest of some
Egyptian officers. Mr.. Roosevelt advised
his hosts to keep out of politcs-not to
mix their military with any civil ambi-
ton. Good advice. AS good as if 1t had
been given by a veteran soldier of sixty
years. instead of by a novice Of sixty
days service. Your soldier-statesman, or
your statesman-soldier, is seldom sue
cess. There are conspicuous exceptions.
but just enough to prove the rule. Great
ly would the world benefit il the shoe
maker would always stick to his last.
Mr.. Roosevelt was speaking long way
from home. None of his hosts could have
known his story well enough to detect
the hidden humor attaching to the ad-
vice. Otherwise it could not have been
received with the gravity required. No
| body at table seems to have interrupted
| with the roaring inquiry. Say, old man,
what are you giving us?"
OF all the men of this generation Mr..
Roosevelt has profited most by mixing
politics and soldering. America. of
course. is not Egypt. Conditions and OPP
portunities of every kind are different.
But even in America here his perform
ance is remarkable. He went from poll
tics into the army, and from the army
back into politics, with an ease and per-
sonal advancement which showed both
his quality and his energy In fact, it Is
no injustice to say that while in uniform
he was still the politician, and since put
ting off his uniform has remained some
thing of the soldier.
1t was the fighting instinct that con-
WINGED the young politician in the Navy
Department that war with Spain was in
evitable, and caused him to go for a
soldier. 1t was the politician under the
soldiers coat that enabled the Rough
Rider in the jam in Florida to get his
neil on shipboard for the scene of con-
fiict. 1t was the politician that enabled
the soldier to capitalize for the press
the brave conduct of the latter in the
collision with the Spaniards.
Returned from the war. the politician
took charge Of the soldiers brief but
highly creditable record, and made 1t
the basis of the most remarkable polit-
lcal success of the day. From the camp
at Montauk point. fever infested, to the
governors chair at Albany, thence to the
Vice Presidents chair, and thence to the
White House. And all the way, and
while holding the high civil Offices men
toned. the Rough Rider assisted the poll
itician. and is still assisting him.
Not mix soldering and politics? Ger
tainly not. The advice Is good, even
from such an adviser. For the Egyptian
Offer or the American officer who should
trJ duplicate the Roosevelt role would
MAKE a mess Of the attempt.

COTTONWOOD FALLS. Kan, July
Ex-senator Albert B. Cummins of
Iowa spoke at the Chase county Chau-
tauqua here this afternoon. The sena'
tor said that he chose TO deliver ser
mon on the text of "Justice' rather
than talk on political interests, be-
cause it was the Sabbath day. Then
he proceeded TO attack the steel trust
and the oil trust and particularly to
flaw John D. Rockefeller and Andrew
Carnegie.
s'Both of these gigantic fiuanciers
are exponents Of grave injustice to TINS
country he declared. "The millions
of dollars which they give the public
for the building of Libraries and educa
tional institutions are nothing more
than returning part of their great
profits to the American people by way
of atonement. However, that sort OF
atonement will never expiate the
wrongs that they have done IN the
fields Of industry

had declared he would, until near the

AMERICANS LAVISH In
SPENDING MONEY ABROAD

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Prosperi-
~ in the United States is on the in
grease, if the purchases abroad of
Americans in the last year of works of
art. diamonds, fine furs and champagne
can be taken as a criterion. In the
fiscal year 1909 only $3,S00.000 worth
of art works were imported, but IN the
fiscal year lust closed, art works to the
value of $2l 100000 were brought in
In diamonds the increase was from
ss4 100, 900 to $50 500, 900. In IN.
dressed fur skins, from $l1, 100000 to
$l5 200. 900; in dressed furs and mann.
factures thereof, from $9,400,000 to
81 900 900.
While no more automobiles were i'm
ported last year than in the previous
&8plve months, their value in each case
%aving been $2,900000, this is ac
counted for by the fact that most
Americans are buying machines OF
home make: and, whereas, only 50,
400. 600 worth of automobiles were cx
ported in 1909, this country SEM
abroad this year $0.500,000 worth
