LONDON PUNCH PRINTS ALLEGED
DISPATCH ABOUT REVOLUTION
-Ex-PRESlDENT AS A DIcTA
TOR-TAFT SEIZED BY ROUGH
RIDERS AND REPUBLIC OVER
THROWN.

Mr.. Roosevelt's personality is the
chief reason for the unusual interest
taken by England in United States
politics Among Engllshmen who met
him during his visit here there is an
almost unanimous conviction that he
will again be president. and it is by
no means rare to find the belief that
his next occupancy OF the White House
will be marked by developments to-
ward a dictatorship.
Punch this week satirizes this idea
IN an article headed H. I. NJ. the En-
peror of America and purporting TO
be sent to the London Times on Oct.
1. 1910. by the New York correspond
ent. Some extracts follow:
This morning Mr.. Roosevelt, by a
daring coup de main, has overthrown
the republican institutions under
which these states had existed for 13l
years, possessed himself Of the su-
preme executive power. and has
promptly been proclaimed emperor OF
America.
This astounding revolution has so
far been unaccompanied by any ef-
fusion Of blood The secret, though
it had been known TO 100 oonspirators,
had been we'll kept, and the strong
measures taken by his imperial males
ty and his friends paraiyzec the spirit
Of resistance that might otherwise
have manifested itself.
AT a. N. the White House was
surrounded by a strong detachment OF
Rough Riders and MI TAFT and his
family were arrested in their beds.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1910-10-16

I'VE cannot pretend to be surprised
by the news which reached us from
America this week that Mr.. Roosevelt
(if we may be pardoned for speaking
of him by. the name which is now
merged in more splendid and, we
believe,v more appropriate title
should assume the imperial purple.)
It cannot startle anyone who has
made himself conversant. as we have
endeavored to do. with the tendencies
of American public life and the opin-
ions of American public men. especial
ly of Mr. Roosevelt himself.
There can be no harm in saying
that during his recent visit to this
country Nh Roosevelt expressed to a
few intimate friends his contempt for
all nondespotic systems of govern
ment He thought that when America
managed to shake off Republican in
stitutions men Of sense and of honest
capab ility would come by their own.
This was his ideal, and he could
not help feeling-the expression was
his own-that it was bully ideal.
We cordially congratulate his I'M
perial majesty and his loyal subjects
on what has taken place. We are
among those who believe that his ma.

and of better quality than any sec

of Ceylon. So is the possibility OF the
pearl farming ut the very door of every
American. With this possibility and
with the proven possibility in Japan
it seems almost a certainty that great
numbers of people will shortly enter
the business and that pearls will be
artidcially produced in any quantities
that the market demands.
''Thcre is but one limit SAYS DR..
Bartsch, "to the ability OF the peo-

limit is in the number of men obtain

value was slight, but with q year or
two more of growth they would have
been worth while. Makimoto 8 idea
was to prevent the destruction of great
numbers of muscles that might later
bear pearls, TO conserve those that were
IN IN immature condition and TO cause
the great majority to produce instead
of the minority. This latter was the
most important part of the work IT
rested upon the introduction OF the for

The Buddhist priests have for CEN
turies placed the images of their gods
between the bodies and the shells of
mollnsks, with the result that these
would be coated with pearl. Then the
shell would be shown and miracle de
clared. This is comparatively easy,
but the pearl resulting is but a half
sphere, The japanese fastened two of
these together and secured n fairly
marketable stone But it had no such
value as would stone that was
normally spherical. They are now pro-
ducing these spherical stones. They
guard the method Of doing this with
the greatest tenacity. Yet DR.. Bartsch
declares that 1t is Il merely mechanical
process, and can be accomplished by
ANYBODY who VIII take sufficient pains.
IT might be done by setting The for
