TEDDY TELLS TRUTHS
AMERICAN MAKES BOLD DEcLAR'
ALTON AT GUILD HALL.
It Is Either Right or Wrong for Eng
land To Be in Egypt, and II 1t Be
Wrong She Should Get Out.

London. - Unexpectedly Theodore
Roosevelt delivered Tuesday what is
considered by Englishman as a severe
arraignment of the nation In its atti-
tude towards Egypt. Something pict-
uresque was looked for from the form
er president Of the United States, u
in view of his utterances in Egypt, in
which he gave praise in full measure
to the British government for the de-
velopment that followed British rule
there, it vas not anticipated that he
would revert again to that subject. es-
pecially for the purpose of taking Eng
land to task.
But with a frankness that caused q
stir among those who had gathered In
the ancient Guild Hall to witness the
ceremony of comforting upon him the
freedom Of the city Of London, Mr..
Roosevelt asserted that while England
had given Egypt the best government
in 1000 years, yet recent events fol-
lowing the assassination of Premier
Boutros Pasha had shown that in GER
tain vital points the British govern
ment had erred and that England must
repair this error if she wished to do
her full duty.
Either you have or you have not
the right to remain In Egypt and es-
tablish and keep order. II you have
not the right and have not the desire
to say order, then by all means get
out. But if, as l hope, you feel that
your duty to civilized mankind and
your fealty to your own great tradi-
lions alike bid you to stay, then make
the fact and the name agree and show
that you are ready to meet in every
demand the responsibility which is
yours.
when a people treats assassination
as the cornerstone of self-government,
1t forfeits all rights to be treated as
worthy of self-government. Some ma
ton must govern Egypt, and I hope
and believe that the English nation
will decide that the duty is theirs"

siderable increase over those for the
previous month. May customs re-
ceipts showed a falling Oh, but those

BUT WHO PAYS THE BILL?
Auto Ride to Save Life, but National
Bank May Be Needed.

New Castle, midas the speed of
the automobile creates a strong breeze
and thus makes it possible for her to
breathe, Mary Carpenter, the 7-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. O. o. Car
penter, is being taekn about the city
night and day in an automobile, and
this is probably all that has saved her
life.
Stops are only made to obtain gaso-
line or change drivers and those in the
car who care for the child.
The paved streets of the city are
being used and the riding has greatly
benefited the child, who can scarcely
breathe owing to an affection Of the
heart.

New York's commissioner of street
cleaning says that carelessness in
throwing papers and other litter in
the streets costs the city $4,000 an
nually, and that he is trying to es-
tablish a system by which the streets
can be flushed with water, thus dis
lodging and washing away the dirt
and so reducing the dust nuisance to a
minimum. Obviously cooperation of
the people and the public authorities,
in keeping the streets clean as well
as in cleaning them, is necessary to
produce the best results.
