NEW TYPE OF INSURGENCY.


 Col. Charles M.

As his News ers probably entertained also v mauE Repuhlioans who are simi- Ariy sitaatsd, we append his letter:

 Col Jarvis expresses Insurgency of new kind-that is, new in publicity.

TEDDY'S FRIENDS WONDER IF THE GHOST WALKED
 FOR HIM THIS WEEK
(Special from United Press. ]

New York, Aug. 13.-Friends of Col. Roosevelt who have looked over the current issue of the Outlook of which he is the contributing editor,' are wondering today whether the pay en- velope materialized for him this week as usual
 For the first time since his return from Africa the magazine is on the news stand without an article from the Roosevelt pen. A few ribald spirits who do not properly appreciate greatness, have suggested that the reason might be found by examination of the cover of the magazine. In big type it is stated that one of the chief articles of the week lis by Will liam Jennings Bryan, who in the past, has intimated that Roosevelt kidnapped certain of his pet issues.
 But, whatever the reason, there was nothing doing" by the contributing Editor this week.
