IF Candlemas Day IS bright and clear.
There'll be two winters in the year.
So runs the old saying. The fact
that it has been disproved many times
seems to have had no influence on
Its vitality. In this respect it is full

ROOSEVELT OPPOSES
TAFT'S TREATY PLANS

BY United Press Leased Wire.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.--In a signed
editorial in the current number OF
the Outlook, Theodore Roosevelt to-
day goes on record as disapproving
of the settlement by arbitration OF
all disputed questions, including
those affecting the national honor,
as advocated by President Taft.
The editorial says:
1T would be foolish and wicked
for us as nation to agree to arbi-
trate disputes affecting our vital in
terests, our independence or our
honor"
Roosevelt then recites the history
of the famous Seige of Lille, when
Marshal DeBoufers offered to sur
render, to which offer the victorious
Prince Eugene of Savoy replied by
asking DeBouflers to write out the
surrender in his own terms, adding
/ will change nothing save In case
something is put in contrary to my
honor or my duty
I'm proposing and carrying out
arbitration treaties, the United
States should act in this spirit" the
editorial continues. 1T Is astound-
ing to realize what short memories
many persons have, or the willful
blindness with which they close their
eyes to the teachings of even recent
history. But even people blind to
the past ought to see what Is hap
pening in the present"
Roosevelt then recites the out
breaks in the Italian-Turkish war
and in China, adding:
"The complete absence of mill
ta0m in China and her efforts to
rely purely upon pacific measures in
dealing with foreign powers have
not only caused her to lose various
provinces to foreign nations within
the last few decades, but have not
had the smallest effect In saving her
from tyranny In her government,
and from far reaching economic
misery at home. Moreover, she is
deprived of her means of keeping
order within her own boundaries.
Turkeys treaties with European
powers explicitly grant her integrity,
yet all treaties thus guaranteeing
against dismemberment are not
worth as much as single gunboat
OF the smallest size the moment II
becomes worth while for any serious
opponent to attack her.
III, as a people. we wish to make
a genuine advance, we should agree
definitely to submit to arbitration
all disputes not involving the vital
interests, the honor or the independ-
ence Of the nation; we should at the
same time make provisions tend
ing to bring a pacific solution Of all
disputes not covered by treaty.

size Her Sentiments.

With the use Of rifle and her
strong arm, Mrs Tillie MCGOWAN, a
temperance advocate, broke up a pic
mic at which beer was being served
near Atchison, Kansas, Friday night.
Mrs. MCGOWAN was passing the pic
mic grounds when one of the keg par
ty knowing her temperance senti-

a drink. She accepted cup of the
beer, intending 10 take it away to
use as evidence against the merryma-
kers.
One of the men said she would

and in the struggle his face was
scratched and his shirt torn.

fIe and chased one of the party into

STILL ON THE BOOM.
The House Has Helped the Course OF
Democracy West

The splendid record made by the
Democrats of the House during the
special session came very near elect
ing a Democrat from the Ninth Iowa
district, according to Judge Martin }.
Wade, the Democratic leader in Iowa,
who was in Washington.
"In the special election held this
week to choose a successor to former
Representative Walter I. Smith, the
Democratic candidate, w. S. Cleve-
land, was defeated by only 700
votes" continued Judge Wade. "The
district has been the Gibraltar of Re,
publican strength in Iowa, and has
given as high as $4,000 majority for
the Republican congressional nomi-
nee. ..... .....
"Last year Mr.. Smith carried the
district by nearly 5000 majority. In
less than a year this majority has
practically been wiped out, and If we
had had ten days more in which to
push the campaign the Democratic
nominee would have won. The splen-
did record Of the Democratic house
had more to do with the remarkable
change in votes than any other one
thing. The Republicans we're simply
helpless when we pointed to what
Majority Leader Underwood and the
Democrats in the house were doing,
and contrasted it with the record OF
the Republican congresses in recent
years.
"The election of F'oss in Massachu-
setts and Havens IN New York to
congress in special elections prior
to the last campaign pressaged a
Democratic congressional victor,
More emphatic is the warning OF the
people as registered in Ninth Iowa
special election which indicates as
clearly as anything can that the peo-
pie are determined to elect a Demo
crat as president of this great coun'
try next year. With Taft as the nom.
inee the Republicans will not be able
to carry Iowa even.

GOES TO HER REST
CARRIE NATION PASSES AWAY
IN A HOSPITAL.
Her Hatchet Campaign Against Bar
rooms in Kansas Regarded Partly
Responsible for Prohibition.

|
Carrie Nation, the Kansas saloon
smasher died at Leavenworth, Kan
sas, Friday night, Paresis was the
cause of death. For several months
Mrs. Nation had been in poor health
and on January % she entered the
local sanitarium in which she dieu,
hoping there to recover from a ner-
vous breakdown.
Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in
Kentucky in 1S46. Her maiden
name was Carrie Moor, and as a girl
it is said she was absolutely fearless.
In her early life she married man
addicted to the use of intoxicants,
which created in her an intense aver
sion to the saloon. When he died
she determined to devote her life to
the suppression Of the liquor traffic
Later she moved to Kansas and mar
ried David Nation, who sympathized
with her temperance principles.
Mrs. Nations first saloon smash
ing was done in the barroom Of the
Carey hotel in Wichita Decemer ~,
1900. She was arrested and remain
ed in Jail several days before she was
released on bond.
On January 21, 1901, armed with
her favorite weapon, hatchet, Mrs.
Nation made another raid in Wichita.
This time she smashed two saloons.
During the next three months Mrs.
Nation surprised the saloon keepers
in various towns, appearing unher-
aided and leaving trail of ruined
bar room fixtures wherever she went.
Remarkably few saloon men useu
violence in resisting Mrs. Nation al
though she was attacked and badly
hurt while wrecking bar at Enter
prise, Kas. BY this time the State
of Kansas was in ferment. Aroused
by the spirit of the dauntless woman
from Kentucky, the people began to
demand that all saloons be closed.
Smashing parties were organized
sll over the state. AS a result of the
agitation, bills were passed by the
legislature which strengthened the
State prohibitory bill. Erratic as
her life has been Mrs. Nation was re-
sponsible for the greatest temper
ance awakening in Kansas.
Mrs. Nation after her activities IN
Kansas, became lecturer and the
editorSnf7a paper called the SnlasheEa
Mail. She did little smashing out
side of Kansas While lecturing in
New York City she created sensa-
ton by appearing at horse show In
Madison Square Garden and de-
manding that the occupants of the
Vanderbilt box contribute money for
a home for drunkards' wives which
she founded in Kansas City. The
home was taken over by the Associat-
ed Charities in Kansas City.
