ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN STAY
PERSISTENT IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Especial Correspondence of The starr
WASHINGTON, December 3. --
Theodore Roosevelt and William J.
Bryan are the two most-discussed men
in American politics today, if one is to
judge by gossip that is going the
rounds among senators and represent
tives now assembling in Washington
for the long session of Congress. Com
pared to these two, Woodrow Wilson,
Judson Harmon and Champ Clark
among the democrats, and President
Taft and Senator La Toilette among
republicans, do not receive nearly as
much attention For the time being,
political interest seems to center
around the man who has served two
terms in the White House, and the
man who has made three ineGectual
attempts to land there.
In the case of each, the question
most frequently heard is this; what
is he working for?" And the answer
often is 'heard that each is looking for
ward to the presidential nomination
in 1912. For in spite of the most empha-
tic statements issued by Col Roosevelt,
there are many men in Washington
who believe he is harboring president
ial ambitions, and there are even
more who attribute selfish motives 20
Bryan because of his frequent com
ments on other democratic candidates.
Theodore Roosevelt was always dis
cussed widely when his purposes were
not clear to the public, and especially
to the politicians. Many times during
his administration he was able to be-
fuddle the politicians in his own, as
well as in the opposition party, and
that is their position today. They are
not able to figure out his plans for the
future, and some of them have con-
cluded that he wants once more TO
enter the arena as the leader of the
republican cause
While four republicans out of five
will say when questioned, that Presi-
dent Taft will be renominated next
year if no seeks another nomination,
few declare with The same conviction
that he will be elected, if nominated.
On the other hand there is very
grave fear among republicans that
their party is slated for defeat in
November, 1912, whether the nominee
be Taft or another. And in all prop
ability it is this feeling of danger that
has given double importance to the
editorial writings of Theodore Roose-
welt, particularly as he has taken issue
with President Taft on such an inn
portant issue as corporation control
and regulation, likely to be the main
issue in the big fight next year.
Moreover, it is generally recognized
and admitted that Col Roosevelt is not

PORTLAND Or, November 10
The Portland Chamber of Commerce
yesterday Endorsed enthusiastically
proposals originated by the Seattle
chamber, which have already been APP
proved in Tacoma and Spokane, for
the Chamber of Commerce Of the
eight leading Coast cities to join In
the endeavor to present to Congress
"a united front in asking legislation
needed for the development Of Alaska.
A delegation consisting of John l..
Wilson, publisher of the Post-Intel-
ligencer, and c. b. Yandell, secretary
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
waited on the Board of Trustees of
the Portland Chamber yesterday and
asked the cooperation Of the local
commercial bodies in sending to
Washington at the spring session Of
Congress a delegation of 40 or so
leading business men, five or six from
each city, to ask action.
1t was particularly asked that no
member of any delegation have per-
sonal interest in the country. No man
who is mixed up in politics or has
claims to the public domain is de-
slider on the delegation, which is to
present to Congress a plain statement
of the incalculable loss suffered by
the Pacific Coast cities through delay
in the development of Alaska
Loss to Cities Huge.
This loss, it is estimated by Mr..
Wilson, already amounts to from $25.-
100000 to $4O,OO0,OOO a year to each
of the leading cities.
Eve want an end to the endless de- |
lays said Mr.. Wilson. The territory
of Alaska has suffered now for ten
years and no relief is in sight. Alaska |
has already produced in real wealth /
for the Nation about S5OO,OOO, 900. |
Obviously there is something wrong. |
"Up to the present the Congress.
5ional delegations from each Pacific |
Coast state has each played lone
hands. The time has come when they
must act together. We have seen in |
the Ohio Valley, in the valley of the
Mississippi and in New England what
delegations can accomplish by united
action. If we want to see Alaska get
its just deserts we must act together

Btuminous Binding Advocated.
The board has decided that grants
or appropriations for road crusts
should be its first consideration, and
in dealing with applications for this
has agreed to encourage the
use of biuminous binding materials
The board has been advised by its ad-
yisory engineering committee that
1T is essential, in order to obtain
strong and durable road surfaces,
which will bear modern traffic, that the
old water-bound system of construction
should be superseded by the use if
some bituminous binding material on
all important roads which have to
carry heavy and fast traffic. Progress
in this direction must be cautious and
tentative but there is a general con
sensus of opinion among ROAD engin-
GERS that the adoption of bituminous
treatment is advisable
AS to financial aid, the board has en-
deavored so far as the available funds
would permit, to bear rs per cent Of
the net cost of any road Improvement
which it authorizes Up to June 80,
1911, applications for grants were re-
ceived by the board aEgregating $685.

so enth lsiastic a Taft man as he was
four years ago; that he entertains
any views not approved at the White
House, and this fact also renders i'm
portant anything he may have to say
on the political issu of the day
Nevertheless it is true that the men
closest to Col. Roosevelt are most en-
phatic in the declaration that he is not
seeking another nomination; that he
will not become even a receptive can
didate next year, and that his sole
purpose is to bring about republican
success, if anything he can do will
tend in that direction. But the very
difference of opinion creates talk, par
ticularly among republicans in Wash
ington.
As to Bryan, the situation is some
what different 1t is true Bryan has
said he is not seeking the nomination
for himself, but the way in which he
knocks first one and then another dem
ocratic candidate has given rise to
considerable doubt as to his sincerity.
Mr.. Bryan, unlike Mr.. Roosevelt, has
never had two terms, or one term in
the White House, yet he has yearned
for that very office ever since his first
nomination in 1896. He has fought
the fight for the party on many an oc-

the opinion that the democracy should
not turn it's back on him, now that it
is looking forward with every hope Of
success next year.
But whatever Bryans underlying
motive may be, he is today the most
CONSPICUOUS figure in his party. Prior
to the November elections, Woodrow
Wilson occupied the spotlight but the
defeat of his ticket in New Jersey
showed him from the center of the
stage-tempoTarily at least-and along
comes Bryan with condemnation of
Champ Clark Clark himself came in
for brief period of center-stage work,
when he attempted to revive talk of
Canadian annexation, but that fell fat;
indeed it brought forth a storm of con
demnation from democrats as well ds
republicans, and he soon Joined Wilson
in the shadow Then CAME Bryan's
condemnation of Clark
Bryan has already done his utmos
to handicap Representative Under
wood; now he condemns Clark because
Clark did not Join him in denouncing
Underwood. He also criticises Clark
for his passivity in the Speakers chair
and for his failure to make himself a
national figure when he had the opport
unity. From a partisan standpoint,
Bryan,s criticisms are not without
foundation. But why are they made
at this time? That's what the demo
cratic politicians want to know They
don't fathom Bryan's game.

HOWIIENGLAND IS TACKLING
ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS

The discussion of the best road sur
face for heavy motor traffic forms the
most important part of the first an
nual report of the Road Board, which
was created a short time ago by act of
Parliament. The board has resolved
that it would not, for the present at
least, engage in the direct construc,
ton of new roads, but that it will en-
deavor to improve and utilize the exist
ing roads to the best advantage. Tue
report states:
The condition of road crusts is a
most urgent problem, Upon that de-
ponds both the alienation Of the in
tolerable and injurious nuisance arts
ing from mud and dust and also the
mitigation of the burden of increasing
cost of maintenance which is creating
such widespread apprehension. Many
miles of important roads in nearly
every county are not constructed or
surfaced so as to be suitable for motor
traffic, and on the other hand, the

THE RADIUM CURE
IS IN REGULAR OPERATION

The old town Of Joachimstal, at an
elevation of over 2OOO feet in the Ore
Mountains, about 20 miles north of
Carlsbad, was once famous for its sill
YER mines. As early as the year 1545
the National Government came into
possession of the mines and proceed
ed with the mintage of the original
silver dollar, the so-called "Joachims-
thaler." Long after the silver and
copper mining activities of st. Joa-
chimstal had come to an end other
ores, such as bismuth, nickel, and
more particularly uranium Cpitch
blende) were mnied there. The latter
was used for coloring glass and por-
celain, which are extensively manu-
featured in the vicinity of the old
town. However it is only since the dis
covery of radium that the st. Joachim
stal uranium deposits have become
famous. They are richer in this most
precious element than any similar de-
posits in the world To produce 1H
grams of radium, valued at $4,000,
5000 kilos C515 tons) Of pitch blende
residue, out of which the uranium has
been extracted, must be worked on
for an entire year.
Opening Of the Cure House.
The chief use Of radium is for med
icinal purposes and, recognizing this,

ago installed a provisional bathhouse

Beginning of the Story.

Nothing but all the facts about the
negotiations and the agreement can
clear this matter now and make it

the controversy have let it to me to
present those facts. The beginning
of the story was at Miramar, the

Ia war. And they are. And the states
action toward them is, in effect, as
am trying to show, the first step to-
ward a treaty of peace.
Judge 5ordwell Not a Party
The only limitation | must put upon
this summary of the matter is this:
All the agreements made are without
the ken of the court. Judge Bordwell
was not party to the negotatins,
nor is he bound by the agreements
made. He is considering the cases
purely as crime, and from another
point of view But there is an agree
ment between the attorneys for the
state and for these men. and if the
judge decides to exceed it, the cases
will go on as before. But I think the
judges conclusion will be in the spirit
of the community he represents.
1t is necessary to say this for an
other reason. Coming in the midst of
a hot political campaign and without
any explanation, the first news was
a shock, especially to the working
people and the friends of the socialist
candidates. 1t is amazing how many
of them there were who really believ-
ed that these men were innocent.
Some of these people lost their heads
the reporters who went around the
town said many men wept, and wild
rumors were flying everywhere.
1t is wrong to put out piece Of
news as unexpected as this without an
explanation. 1t looked for a while as
if Los Angeles had gone mad, and
certainly some of the good effect
which was expected from this event
was lost by the way it was thrown to
the public.
