 It was on March 23, 1909, that Colonel Roosevelt left New York by the steamer Hamburg bound for the dark continent. On board he made himself most popular with the other passengers by his democratic and un- assuming demeanor and friendliness. He touched at Gibraltar and Messina on the way, but requested that all formal receptions be eliminated, as he travelled only as a private citizen. In Mess1na he was greeted in person by the king of Italy and was touched by the warm welcome of the people,

ment in other mills. Speaking geneT- ally. it may be said that the labor eDi~ ployed by the mills controlled by the trust is low priced and the work tGrr- ed out is inefficient. The official chem ist of the Association of Paper Manu- lecturers is quoted as saying that "a very large proportion of our paper manufacturers, most superintendents and nearly all workers in the mill are making paper today with an almost medieval ignorance and dis regarS. of the fundamental properties and, relationship of the materials fin which they work"
 Such is the result Of 'trugtifying" the paper industry. No wonder the newspaper publishers are in rebellion against the trust and are asking to have Canadian paper admitted free Of duty

GLAD HAND FOR CANADA.
Eminent Commercial Authority Pleads For Breaking Down Trade Barriers.

Eminent Commercial Authority Pleads
 For Breaking Down Trade Barriers.
 Henry NJ. Whitney, ex-president of the Boston chamber of commerce, struck the right keynote at the Eco homie club dinner in New York on May IS in regard to the tariff dispute with Canada. He did not plead for timid, half hearted measures, but in- sisted that the sweeping away of all tariff restrictions between the two countries was the goal that should be aimed at and courageously fought for. He said:
 eff the tariff barriers between the two countries were absolutely re- moved manufacturing interests would gradually find their way to the west ern sections of Canada, and this de- velopment would be more rapid if the capital. the energy and the enterprise of the American people were joined with the sober industrial qualities of the Canadians in bringing it about"
 What can be more stupid than the attitude of the protectionist parties in both countries that stand between both parties and the realization of this great scheme of common benefit?
 Even our manufacturers, for whose benefit we shut out Canadian prod ucts, would gain far more in the end than they would lose temporarily by the destruction of their monopoly. Fresh avenues for them would be opened up by the new opportunities which unrestricted trade would bring about
 MT. Whitney said that the first step toward satisfactory trade relations with Canada should come from this country. This also is sound advice. We have shut Canada out of our mar kets for years and have compelled her to seek markets elsewhere We should open our door and invite her to treat with us Let us not be content with cheeseparing reductions, but keep be- fore us the grand fact that Canada and the United States are one country naturally. divided only by an imag- mary line, and that the commercial advantages to be reaped by plotting out that line are as great as those which have accrued to us from the adoption of free trade between the various states.

BLAME PAPER TRUST.

Consolidation of Business Has Pro-
 duced Three Paper Panies In Three
 Years-oniy an Open Market Will
 Save the Situation.
 Woe to the industry that becomes dominated by trust!
 The newspapers of the country are just now piteously deploring the hard fate that has made them dependent upon one concern-the International Paper company-for their supply of print paper. A strike has occurred in the mills of the company, and of course the output has been reduced, with the result that the publishers are paying higher prices and are not sure of their future supply even at that.
 Curiously enough, this is one of the very caIamities that the trust was formed to prevent. according to the professions of it's promoters at the time. "The International Paper com pany," says the committee on paper of the American Publishers associa- tion, started out with the assurance that by consolidating thirty mills un- der one management it would give the publishers a continuous and perma- nent supply which no one mill could furnish. We have had three paper panics within three years, two of which, have been due directly to the failure of the company to continually supply all of it's customers

Lost We Forost.

Lest We Foeaot
 Do we work in order to live, or do we live in order to workf The an- swer to this question lies at the bot tom of the whole protectionist eontro- versy. If work is what men are put on the earth for and if it Is not a mere means of getting food, clot14ng and shelter, then the protsctionist is right and the Bethlehem steel wor4ers who work seven dsy8 in the week and have no time to bless themselves are Ideal types of civilized humanity. But if work is oriy a means to an end and if men are ent3tisd to procure their wants ct the least amount of work that it will cost, then the protection doctrine is radteally false and fatal
 What is our wfi61s system of dfvi- sion of labor for? To do away with needless work. Why Is not every man today his 0wp tailor, shoemaker and blacksmithr To do away with need less work.

 which he accepted as token of their thankfulness for the American relief work following the great earthquake. The one thought he expressed at this demonstration was pride in being an American and in standing for the time as the symbol of the country that had helped these people in their calamity.
 The Game Bag In Africa.
 The expedition landed on the coast of Africa at Mombasa and proceeded inland to Nairobi, where it estab- nshed it's base. On the trip up it is narrated that the colonel rode on the pilot of the engine. Riding on the pilot is no uncommon occurrence in Africa, though not practiced much in America, for the reason that it causes one to collide too violently with the atmosphere. In the Roosevelt party were Kermit, the son and ostensible photographer, although in the end he proved better rife shot than his father; R. J. Cuninghame, mighty English hunter, who went along be- cause of his knowledge of the game and of the country; Major Edgar A. Mearns, J. Alden Loring and Edmund Heller, representing the Smithsonian institution, and small army of na- tives. The party took several trips out from Nairobi and shot enough game to make the Smithsonian inst- tuition look like a petrified section of Africa transplanted to the banks of the Potomac.

TEXAS WOMAN SWINDLER
GETS SWITCHES AND RATS
Collects Hundreds of Them, Supposed
Iy for Renovation, and Then
Drops Out of Sight

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, March 22.-
There is much gnashing of teeth and
lamentation in this city because a
good looking member of the fair sex
has thought of a brand new species OF
thievery.
The woman has a good eye to busi-
ness and is tackling a line that comes
near being a gold bond feature, for
the things she purloins are expensive
switches and rats. She will pursuade
her sisters that dirty switches and
rats are anything but hygienic and
that a thorough renovation would do
both the switch and the wearer good.
OF course it will take from three to six
days before the articles can be re-
turned says the woman, as she puts
the thing that costs hubby anywhere
from $40 to 500 into her satchei. That
is the last that is heard from the
switch renoVator.
How many of these high priced fem
mime adornments were lifted by the
operator-or operators-is hard to say,
because it is impossible to get the
women to own up. The police, how
ever, think that several hundred
switches and rats have changed own
ership in this manner, and that there
exists some central agency that acts
as fence for the crooks and sells the
hair goods after putting them into
proper trim.

CHASTITY CRIME RECORD
is MADE IN SINGLE DAY
Three Men Shot to Death, Two Sui
cides and Many Assaults Yester-
day at Wilmington, Del.

WILMINGTON, Del, March "a
Never before did the crime annals of
Wilmington make such a CHASTITY
showing as yesterday. Three shot TO
death; assaults that may result IN
three more deaths: half dozen per-
sons slightly wounded and two suicides
comprise the record.
The most sensational occurrence was
the tragedy on a Baltimore & Ohio eX-
press train, in which j. w. Bethea Kill
ed Conductor o. e. Wellman and Sam
uel Williams, porter of the train on
which the tragedy started, and wound
ed Park Guard John l., Wiley of this
city. who was struck twice, one bullet
penetrating his left hand and the other
striking him in the left groin. The
latter wound may prove serious.
Bethea was later killed by the police
and his body has not been claimed.
Conductor Wellman's body was sent
to his home in Philadelphia today. The
body of Williams will be sent to his
home in Baltimore.
The victims of the workhouse trag-
edy-Guards Walter Hastings and
Thomas McCulloch-are still in Sc
rious condition at the Delaware hoSpi-
tai. and the physicians give out no
hope for the recovery of either. Stephen
Hunter, the negro prisoner who shot
them down yesterday in an endeavor
to escape and who in turn was shot
and beaten by other guards, is at the
prison hospital. His death is expected
almost any time.
The other tragedies were the suicides
of Mrs. Hattie Rommel and of Charles
Tindall. The latter killed himself
after he had shot and killed Mrs. Clara
Newcomb because she refused to elope
with him.
