TILT OVER 7. R.
Congressman Madison Comes to
the Defense of Roosevelt
When the Colonel Is Criticised
by George H. Earle.

Washington June 29-An attack on
former President Roosevelt, on the
ground that he had not prosecuted the
so-called sugar trust made before the
house sugar committee today by Geo.
H. Earle, of Philadelphia, aroused q
vigorous defense of Mr.. Roosevelt by
Representative Madison of Kansas, who
said the former president relied on At
and there was not evidence before the
committee to show he had acted from
improper motives
Mr.. Madison insisted upon reading
Mr.. BonRparte's decision in the sugar
trust case, upon which he declared Mr.
Roosevelt had to lean.
you gentlemen will never prosecute
anybody if you try to ind excuses for
officers who neglect their duty SAID
Mr.. Earle.
I am not sEempting to excuse Mr..
Bonaparte," said Mr.. Madison.
The president of the United States
relied on his law officer for advice and
there is no evidence before this COM
mittee that the president acted from
improper motives. / don't agree with
am one of those people of Kansas who
still believe in the integrity of Mr..
Roosevelt"
1T is just that you should said Mr..
Earle. Il viii trust the people of Kan
sas to judge whether it was right for
the president not to act when he knew
that his ad interim attorney general,
Mr.. Purdy, was anxious to proceed and
that there was valuable evidence that
might be lost.
Onered to Debate.
Il offered to debate this matter with
Mr.. Roosevelt in New York but he did
not accept my challenge and neglected
an opportunity to overwhelm me. Do
you think the people of Kansas VIII
say that the president did his full duty
IN neglecting that case? How are you
ever going to punish crime if you are
constantly changing law officers and
do nothing in the Interim"
Earle read again the letters that Mr.
Roosevelt did not send to the senate

continued Mr. Earle. Mr.. Roosevelt
told the senate that it was right to
send the correspondence to the senate
and then he did not send the communi-
cations from me that might have re-
fiected upon him. If that was right
then I was wrong"
DO YOU have any doubt that Mr..
Roosevelt was a sincere opponent of
the immoral practices of great organi-
cations of capitaI?" asked Representa-
tive Kinds

question" said Mr.. Earle. 81 used to

MUNICIPAL KITCHENS PLAN
Former Army Surgeon Has Scheme for the LsngthenIng of Hu-
 mar Life.

A former United States surgeon says that human life may be length ened if people are taught more about the subject of ventilation, how to breathe, how to dress. In addition. he would have food supplied by mu- nicipal Kitchens, where the cooks shall be required to pass an examina- ton and not be engaged unless they possess the proper certificate of Quat lfcation.
 He might have gone further and said that In case we have municipal kitchens there would also have to be municipal kitchen commission in- structed to see that the kitchen pro- vide pure food. Perhaps there would have to be kitchen committee above them to see that the commissioners were not influenced by graft"
 But many housekeeper will cling to her kitchen to the last She may accept ready-to-wear clothing, apd send her washing to the laundry to be cleaned with the clothes of hun dred other families, but most families like their food cooked in some partic- ular way which renders the commu- nifty kitchen, whether in boarding houses or fashionable hotels, unsatis. factory.

TIE SECRET OF POPULARITY
Woman Who Has Learned to Keep Self In Background Makes
 Hit.

As rule the women who are most popular are the ones who have learned to keep self in the background.
 Haven't you sometimes come across the woman who talks of nothing but her own personal affairs? AS soon as another topic Is introduced. her at tenticn wanders and she lets you see pretty plainly that she Is not inter- ested. She isn't likely to be popular.
 Then there is the woman who Is never happier than when she is tell ing you all about her domestic trials, and tribulations, how naughty her children are. and what a great deal she has to put up with.
 But this is not the way to become popular, either. Most of us have troubles enough of our own. and do not want to hear too much about the worries of our neighbors- If you want to be really popular. self must be put in the background. and kept there.
 It Is the woman who h ready to bs interested ip anything and every. thing, and alway1 willing to hold out helping hand to anyone who needs 1t, who gsts the warmeet welcome. So. if you want to be p0Dv1AE lseFn first to be unselnsh. and thoh teach yourself to be interested and cheerful wherever you are. and you will bs vol started on the road to popu larity.

 Georgia Minstrels.
