SPEECH Of ROOSEVELT
IS BOOST FOR HARLAN
Friends Believe Justice Will Be
Named as Head of Su-
preme Court

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-One effect
of Roosevelt's speech in criticism OF
certain decisions of the supreme court
has been to encourage the friends OF
Associate Justice Harlan to hope that
the former presidel may urge on
T sident Taft his appointment TO the
post of chief justice.
Justice Harlan alone dissented IN
the decision of the court in the Ia
nous Knight case which was made
even more renowned by the criticism
heaped upon it by Col. Roosevelt.
Apart from the wish dictated by the
high esteem in which Justice Harlah
is held, nearly every one in Washlng-
ton believes that Governor Hughes
will be selected as the successor to the
late Chief Justice Fuller.
The plan provides for the appoint
ment of Justice Harlan as chief JUS
tice, with the understanding that he
retire at the end of the Taft admin
istration; the promotion of Mr.. Hughes
from associate Judge to the chief JUS
ticeship and the appointment OF So
licitor General Bowers as an associate
Justice to succeed Mr.. Hughes when
elevated.
Justice Harlan is by far the Oldest
member of the bench, being more than
n years of age. In few weeks ne
will have completed his thirty-thlra
year of service. On June 10, 1912, sew
eral months before the end of the
present administration, Justice 1-arlan
will have served longer on the su-
preme bench than any other man In
its history. His service will have ex-
ceeded that of Field, Marshall or
Story. Having rounded his career with
a service as chief justice, 1t is under
stood that Justice Harlan would be
glad to retire.

THOUSANDS THRONG
STATE FAIR GROUNDS
Trained BuffaIoeS Are Feature of
Wild West Show at Sac
ramento

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 4.-This was a
banner day at the state fair grounds
and the thousands of visitors who
swarmed the grounds from early morn
ing until late at night viewing the
many attractions, far exceeded the
number who attended the fair opening
on Saturday, when nearly 1000 people
passed through the gates.
At II o'clock Joseph Carman made
an ascension in a balloon, reaching
an altitude of 23O0 feet and dropping
gracefully to the ground in para
chute.
The 100000 team of trained buffa-
loes, owned by Irwin and Hersig, man
ayers of the Chewenne show, paraded
in front of the grand stand. Later they
were unhitclfed and ridden by Cow
boys Fitzgerald and Murray The huge,
shaggy beasts had been well trained
in the art of bucking, and as they
reared and plunged and snorted in an
effort to unseat their riders, the au-
dience rose and yelled encouragingly
to the riders.
Large crowds visited the various ex-
hibits again today. Fireworks at night
concluded the days entertainment.

where the father has been a drinker
the daughter loses the power to nurse
her children and the capability is
irrevocably lost in all future genera
tions; also that this loss is accom-
panied by other symptoms of degenera-
tion, in particular by want of power
to resist the inroads of disease of all
kinds, nervous disorders, tuberculosis,
decay of teeth; that the children are
insufficiently nourished; and so from
generation to generation the work of
deterioration goes on, leading, at
length, after endless suffering, to the
ultimate decay of the race. Professor

coholic poisoning of the individual is

Miss Isabelle Horton, superintendent

unchurched masses of foreign popula-
ton, migratory, shifting, irresponsible,
yet gifted under our social and poll

''As earth whirls on from dawn to dawn,
Through the seasons that are to be,
There is some sweet day that is on its way
When the whole world shall be free.
There are glimpses OF glory in Paradise,
But they are not so bright
AS our own dear earth will be. when we
Shall bring the reign of right.
Let each a brother just love the other
And work as best he can.
In the glorious labor Of lifting his neghbor
And helping his fellow man."

MEMORIALS UNVEILED
IN HONOR OF ALTGELD
Bronze Tablets Dedicated in Chi
Cago as Token to For
mer Governor

CHICAGO, Sept. 4-Former Governor
John P. Altgeld received the name of
first insurgent" here today at the un-
yelling of four bronze memorial tab
lets under the direction of the John P.
Altgeld Memorial association.
The life of the former governor, de-
noted as among the first officials to
take up the fight against special priv
ileges, was appraised by George Fred
Williams of Massachusetts, This ded-
ication was attended by members of
Chicago labor organizations in a body.
The tablets which will be placed in
Grants cemetery are dedicated to
John Peter Altgeld citizen. volun-
teer, soldier, lawyer, judge, orator and
governor of Illinois, who died March
IL, 1902" each containing selections
from the public utterances of the for
mer official, including q message Of
protest to President Cleveland in 1884
denying the right of the president to
send United States troops in the state
of Illinois and an explanation of the
pardoning of men convicted of anarchy
in 1883.
In the atmosphere of graft which
pervades today can it be doubted that
a blind and unquestioning support of
Altgeld would have made this state
one of the purest in the republic?"
said Mr.. williams in his address.
"Mr Altgeld's fate was that of the
pioneer, the discoverer in statesman
ship. He saw and despised the truck
ling of our civilization to material in
terests. Far In the advance of most
men, he realized how privilege had
of our social system, and with what
success the interests of property have
framed the code of human conduct,
laws and morals"

NEW YORK. Sept. 4.-Clement j.
Driscoll who has conducted a vigorous
crusade against short weights as New
York's commissioner of weights and
measures, addressed the annual Labor
day dinner at the Labor lyceum to-
night.
IF the mercantile life of the city
of New York, which Is to a great ex-
tent made up Of employers, makes the
charge that you have been dishonest
in your efforts" he said, "I say to you
that 1 make the charge that the mer-
camille life of the city of New York
is diseased. Some of the so-called re-
putable merchants of the great city of
New York, who at a time when labor
was struggling with the employer for
fair play would be the first to denounce
labor, could not stand very searching
inquiry into their business methods.

fought organized labor is the very in
fluence that has diseased the munich

GERMANY Is BUILDING A
DREADNAUGHT DESTROYER
New Type of Vessel viii Be Ter
ror of the Sea

BERLIN, Sept. Alderman naval de-
signers are at work on small type
of battleship which the Vorwaerts
learns is expected to put the great
dreadnaughts into the obsolete class.
The new vessels will be lightly armed
and very speedy. In general design
they will be similar to the old moniter,
Their length will be 2S0 feet, breadth
4Gs feet and draught 10 2-3 feet, while
4e hull will extend SO inches above
khe water line.
The armaments will consist of two
16.7-inch guns, each capable of throw
ing a projectile of 5940 pounds from
one of the great turrets amidship.
Four explosive gas motors, each of
6OOO-horse power, will give the ves-
sells a normal speed of 10 bnots an
hour and under force 27 knots. Or
dinarily heavy plates will be placed
on the deck, turrets and sides of the
new-~yessel. Speaking theoretically, the
designers claim that it would require
only a three-ton projectile to penetrate
and explode to tear up any dread
naught while the low fireboard and
heavy armor of the new vessel would
make their damage by 12-inch guns
most difficult.

ESCONDIDO Gates OPEN
FOR HOLIDAY CROWDS
Many improvements Made Since
Grape Day Was Celebrated
Last Year

ESCONDIDO, Sept. 4.-The Grape
day celebration, held annually on Ad-
mission day, will be this year, from
all forecasts, the greatest event of its
kind ever attempted by the people of
Escondido. There are several new fea-
lures planned for this celebration, and
the latch string of the city will be out
to all.
The city has grown in the past year
and many improvements have been
made, including the installation of an
electric light system of most modern
equipment and the paving of the prin-
cipal streets. A new grammar school
has been completed since last Grape
day, and a library of classic design,
endowed by Andrew Carnegie, is under
construction.
Escondido is dependent, it has been
improved, thousands of dollars having
been invested therein by persons from
a distance. The country is a large
one, including many rich valleys lying
back in the mountain country Much
of this land is but sparsely settled or
used temporarily for cattle raising.
AS this land lies beyond the water
bitches, it means that when irrigation
is finally placed there it will be of
great value to farmers. Water lies
near the surface and is easily raised,
and throughout the mountain country
there are numerous creeks which can
be easily conserved for the irrigating
Of the contiguous land.
Owing to a very favorable season the
country is most beautiful this year,
and visitors to the valley may be as
sured that they will be pleased with
what they see. The vineyards have
prospered, and old settlers say that
the big, luscious muscats and wine
grapes are in better condition and fla
vor this year than ever before.
Everything will be in readiness by
Friday for the entertainment of sew
eral thousand guests. The railroad
will run special trains both from Los
Angeles and from San Diego, and
the country tributary to Escondido will
turn out in full force.

west wind was blowing to test his

of the airship he was able so to dip the
craft that eventually the anchor rope
dropped within reach of those below,
and he was pulled down safely.
