PRESIDENT REITERATES POSI-.
TON AS PREVIOUSLY OUT
LINED TO GRISCOM.
THEIR INTIMACY NOT INCREASED
Jaft's Administration Is to Be In.
dorsed at the Republican Conven-
ton at Saratoga
Meeting.

New Haven, Conn.,, Sept 20.-The
president and the former president
Of the United States had a hurried
conference in New Haven on the sit
uation in New York state. The con-
ference came at Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
quest and is interpreted as the out
come Of a desire for the moral advan-
tages that further evidence Of the
presidents support would bring the
Roosevelt leaders in New York state.
Neither Mr.. Taft nor Mr.. Roosevelt
would discuss in detail what they had
TO say to each other, but these results
can be given as apparent:
1. So far as the situation in New
York state goes where there is war
between Colonel Roosevelt and the
old guard, the president stands square
ly on his letter of Aug. 20 to Lloyd
G. Griscom. in which he defined his
attitude at length.
g. The shadow Of 1912 hung over
the meeting, which did not appear to
be characterized by the old cordially
between the president and the colonel,
recent events operating as ban to
any better understanding between the
two. The question of the presidency
In 1912, however, was not discussed.
8. The president is willing to run
again if he is renominated, but he in.
tends to leave that to his friends. He
is not hunting delegates.
4. Colonel Roosevelt expressed him.
o. GO nh -
Interview" and an "entlrely aatisfac-
tory talk" He reiterated with en-
phasis that he will not run for COVER
nor and that If the convention is STAN
peded for him be will refuse the
nomination.
n Favors Direo< Primaries.
Mr.. Taft announced to his callers
anew that he had said In the Griscom
letter that he favored direct prima-
ries for the nomination of congress-
men and state legislators. He under
stands this to be the purport Of the
Cobb bill as amended by the Seth Low
and Joseph Choate memorial. He said
he hoped that declaration for such
a primary law would be written into
the Republican state platform and
that a candidate for governor In SYM
patty with this movement would be
nominated.
President Tat is not ready as yet
to admit the advisability of doing
away with conventions for the nomi-
nation of state officers from governor
down. Mr. Taft understands that both
Governor Hughes and Col. Roosevelt
are now practically in accord with
his own position, although the govern
or fought at first for direct primaries
for all offices.
It can be stated that the meeting
here while IL may have been sue
cessful in it's "scenic effect" and o(
moral advantage to the Roosevelt
leaders in New York state, was abso-
lutely barren of results as to any bet
ter understanding between the presi-
dent and Colonel Roosevelt as to ma
tional issues or their personal rela-
lions in view Of the many recent
events.
1t came out the the conference that
the Taft administration is to be in.
dorsed at Sartoga. No mention of
Mr.. Taft as a candidate in 1912 will
be made.

Alcoholic Families.

The State has to deal with the de-
scendants of alcoholics as well as
with the Observation-Disclosures Demme,
of Switzerland. in , study of two
groups of families, one of alcoholics
and the other Of very moderate drink
ers or abstainers, reveals the follow
ing facts: In the ten alcoholic families
there were fifty-seven children, Of
whom twenty-five died early and
many others. suffered from nervous
disease. Only 17.5 per cent. were
normal. In the ten non-alcoholic
families there were sizty-one chill
dren. of whom four suffered from ner-
vous disease and S1.9 per cent. were
normal.
The publication of these startling
facts does not seem to carry nearly as
much weight as it should in influenc-
ing the community. 1t is obvious
that the State, or at least large cities,
must make special effort to provide
institutions for the treatment of inc
briefly. which institutions may become
the centres for dissemination to fami-
lies of an alcoholic tendency, or OF
special alcoholic susceptibility, Of the
truths concerning the great dangers
of alcohol to the individual and to de-
scendantS.

UNPLEASANT Facts.

There are a good many facts about
crimes and criminals in this country
that are not pleasant to think about.
For instance, DR.. Andrew D. White
tells US that while Belgium has the
worst record of any country in Eu-
rope for homicides, it is only one
eighth as bad as that of the United
States. His %fgures'for felonious hon.
icides per year per million of popu-
lation, are as follows: Canada, 3;
Germany, a to 5; England, 10 to IL;
France, IA to IS; Belgium, 16:
United States, 1873. Note the marvel
Gus contrast between Canada and the
United States. Dr.. White says: 1T
seems impossible that on n side OF
an imaginary line homicide could be
so much more prevalent than on the
other. The reason is that on one
side the law prevails and not chican-
cry, and that on the other side has
taken place a breakup in the admin
istration of criminal law" These
facts are an unpleasant antidote for
some of our perfervid Fourth-of-Iniy
pratory.-AdVance.

San Francisco Receivers.

Financially and commercially the
city is now very close to the normal
basis, and it is evident that popula-
ton and business are having a regu-
lar normal increase. Doubtless our
population is less than it would have
been at this time had we met with 90
disaster, but it is certainly larger
than ever before, and if we take in
the whole metropolitan area which
would be included in a Greater San
Francisco" it is improbable that
growth has been checked in the least.

Gods Guidance.

In all thy ways acknowledge. Him.

cribs g., 6.
When seized with a.mortal malady
General Grant passed his last days in
writing his very interesting memoirs.
Knowing that his way In this world
was rapidly drawing to an end there
came to him a deep sense Of Gods
gracious guidance, and SO he began
the story of his life by saying, Man
proposes and God disposes. There
are but few important steps In the af-
fairs of men brought about by their
own choice"
It is the common experience. Gods
overru1ing hand may seem more man
ifest In the case of such q man, and
yet it is just as real in the lot of the
lowly as in that of those who sit in
the seats of the mighty" His mercy
is over all His works." "In Him We
live, and move, and have our being"
His gracious guidance is not for the
favored few only. 1t is over us all.
1t provides for all men and blesses all
men in proportion as they are willing
to be blessed. Seeing that 1t Is so, We
should thankfully recognize the dia
vine providence that Is over US all. II
should be the ground of our conf
dence and the strength OF our hope
for ourselves and for our fellow men.
Even though many seem to live az
II without God in the world" we
may hope for them still, for the di.
vine providence has not yet been full
filed in them. If God bears With
them surely we should also. He loves
them still for all their wilfulness and
way%wardness, and often In ways that
we know not Of He brings the wan
derer back. It may be through a sor-
rowful way, but His hand Is owe
them still, and so we AN hopefully
leave them with Him who is doing for
them all He can. He does not force
His way into their hearts, but waite
for an opening door, ready to, come In
with blessings as soon as ever He can
find room.
Now, as Of old, to as many as re-.
ceive Him gives He power to become
the sons of God, not in possibility
only, but in very deed and truth. He

Education vs.. Alcoholism.

DIR. Frederick Peterson, professor
Of %psychiatry at Columbia University.
in the course of q lecture on THE
Prevention of Alcoholism" delivered
before the New York Academy OF
Medicine, said that as a result OF
years of study he believed the only
efficient method in which to ward off
the evils due to drink was the institu.
ton OF a campaign Of education in
this country such as is now being
successfully waged against tubercu-
losis.
DR.. Peterson believes that the facts
as to evils Of alcoholism should be
taught in the public schools and that
the statistics that tell the story of the
ravages against mankind should be
spread broadcast through the country,
where every man, woman and child
a see, read and study them.
. The speaker said that it was known
that between twenty and twenty-five
per cent. Of all the insane in this
country owe their insanity to alcohol;
that Of the 100000 paupers in the
United States 100000 owe their
dependence to alcohol; that seventy
five per cent. of all the crime COM
mitted in the United States is due to
intemperance, and that every year in
this country there is an average Of
$685. 600 $1,000 q day. arrests for
drunkenness.
Thirty years ago, he said, the med
ical profession as q whole showed lit
tie interest in attacks upon alcohol.
In those days, he said, physicians
were rather the promoters of the use
of alcohol as a stimulant and as a
remedial agent in many diseases.

A Great Secret.

There is in the heart of every man
an earnest desire to know how ne
may be victorious in the time OF temp
tation. Temptation is not sin, though
yielding to sin, but there is one sure
way of escaping from the overmaster-
ing power of the tempter, and that is
to keep busy. When David was idle
he sinned, when Peter was not toilins
he failed, and it was when you were
drifting idly along in Christian expe-
rience that you denied your Master.
The secret of a victorious life is TIC
