BOTH PARTIES UNDER
THE ROOSEVELT BAN
Easier to Tear Down Than to
Build Up Teddy Chooses
the Easiest Way

OYSTER BAY IN. W, July 1.-THE
progress i've movement, as Colonel
Roosevelt put il tonight, lis to be the
keynote of his campaign. II means,
he said. The putting into effect OF
every principle for which we stand. ?
Colonel Roosevelt,s statement was re-
garded as sn indication that he would
draw the line for an uncompromising
fight. that he would insist upon a plat
form ano campaign of such nature
as to lay before the people for their
verdict in November the complete
program to which he has committed
himself s. 81
Colonel Rooseyelt's views are set
forth in his charter of democracy
speech in Columbus, O., lest Fe5ru-
airy, which marked his re7entry into
active politics. Since that time he
has declared himself unquslifiedly for
woman suffrage. The platform which
he drafted for submission to the Re
publican national convention was not
brought forth, owing to the refusEl of
the colonel to sanction participation in
the convention. 1t is understood that
this platform will. be the basis of the
one the former President will submit
to the convention of the new party in
Chicago next month, although contain
ing in addition statement of be ief of
necessity for new party. and an at
tack upon the Republican and Demo
cratic parties.
That the courts will come in for at
-tention at the hands of the new party
was indicated by the fact that Colonel
Roosevelt spent a large part of the
afternoon in considering the subject.
He had with him William l.. Ransom
OF Brooklyn, lawyer, who attracted
the colonel's attention several weeks
ago by delivering before the New
York Bar Association a lecture in de
tense of the recall of judicial deci-
sions. the doctrine enunciated, by the
ex-Presideht in his Columbus speech.
After his TAX with Ransom, Colonel
Roosevelt saida they had been consid1
ering steps to select as candidates for
the judiciary men whom they believed
would measure up to the neeos of the
time. 80
Colonel Roosevelt did not indicate
whether he would urge that the new
party take a stand in favor of the re-
call of judicial decisions. It Is be-
lieved, however, he will not insist on
this step, as he says throughout his
recent campaign that he favored the
application of this measure to state
courts only, and would not attempt to
apply it to the federal judiciary.
The cali for the national convention
of the new party Is ready, Colonel
Roosevelt said, and will be mace pub
lie on Monday.
Francis ]. Heney, the San Francisco
graft prosecutor, came here today
from the Baltimore convention to give
Colonel Roosevelt an idea of the prob
able lineup in the Democratic party
as a result of Woodrow Wilson's no
mination.

THE POWERS ON GUARD

Two European powers are now challenging
Great Britain's claim that Britannia rules the
waves" and the naval experts of the two chal-
longing nations are busy disproving England's
claim to supremacy This, taken in conjunction
with a marked movement in the lawmaking
bodies of both nations, France and Germany, to
enlarge their navies has led to a triangle in in
ternational politics that is absorbing much at
tenti0n.
In Germany the Naval league, We are in
formed by the German press, is growing for
midable in numbers and in power and is begin
ming to assert it's right to dictate the naval pol
icy of the Vaterland. 1t hopes ultimately, ac-
cording to report, to have much to say in the
naming of the minister of marine, and already
it is .camoring for a larger and larger battle
ship appropriation
The strength bf the league has rendered it so
confident that one Of its leaders, Admiral Won
Rooster, at recent banquet declared that Ger
many's fleet should dominate the North Sea SO
that all the world would recog-
nize it.
Meanwhile France is beginning to GUST Great
Britain as the naval power of the Medterran-
can, if the French newspapers are to be be-
lieved One of the government organs, the Paris
Matin announced recently that France intends
to assert superiority from Gibraltar to Assouan,
and it is evident that the tricoor is intended to
wave over every spot along the Mediterranean
where there is the least excuse for it.
Frances policy is to put in the Mediter-
ranean naval force stronger than the com
bined forces of the next two strongest powers.
Such a program may well be looked upon by
Great Britain with some misgiving.
In view of this European policy of doubling
and TRIPPING naval strength, the struggle that
Congress is going through now in an effort to
reach AN agreement on one or two battleships
year may well seem futile. Talk OF disarma-
inentx in the face Of such portentous prepara-
tions is puerile

HOME. RULE FOR ALASKA

Home rule for Alaska, even in as incomplete
a form as provided in the bill that passed the

big Northern territory.

RESTRICTIONS OF
LIFE IN BERLIN
Chief of Police Worrying Nuns
and the Proprietors of
Iaxi-Gabs

BERLIN, July Herr Won Jagow,
the chief of the Berlin police. is never
quite happy unless he is making rules
Ton the citizens. He is at present en-
gagged in worrying nuns and the pro.
prietors of taxicabs. There is con.
vent of Grey Sisters in the city to
which pension for young women is
attached. The nuns provide a com
Portable home at an exceedingly mod,
crate price and receive boarders with
cut distinction or. creed
It came to the knowledge of the POI
Ice that several Protestant young
women employed In the postoffice
were living in the pension and they
informed the prioress that she was to
dismiss them The good woman point
ed out that the young women wished
to remain. The statement did not i'm
press the police who hold that Prot
estants and Catholics should be seq
regated in different houses, and they
obliged the nuns to turn out the Prot
estant boarders. The young women
we're greatly annoyed, and some tears
were shed when they parted from the
Grey Sisters. This form of petty pro-
secution has been applied to the sis.
tiers and boarders at two other con.
vents in Berlin.
1 Having settled the question OF the
nuns. Herr Won Jagow has turned to
the attack on the proprietors of taxi
cabs. The taxicabs of Berlin are far
better than those of New York and
London. They are roomy and rapid
and are painted all the colors of the
rainbow. Some time ago a police or
der was given that taxicabs were to
be painted in a Uniform manner, and
a fresh order has now appeared stat
ing that by October1 no taxicab viii
be allowed to ply for hire which has
a motor of more than 10 horsepower.
At the present time there are taxi
cabs of 80 and even 40 horsepower
They go like the wind, and as the
streets of Berlin are wide and the
traffic rarely congested, it is delight
to drive in them. Her Won Jagow,
however, thinks the citizens may be
run over, and only persons who can
afford private cars will be able to en-
joy the luxury Off 40 horsepower
motor car after the end of September.

PAYING FACTS

Simmered down to the essential points, the
paving controversy seems to revolye on whether
or not the community wishes to force the Rapid
Transit company to accept bitulithic for paving
between double tracks. Other issues are brought
up, but the present fight hinges on this.
The engineer and' the supervisors take the
position that If lava blocks are laid between the
tracks, just that much of the street will be un-
used by traffic, for the teams will be turned on
the smoother bitulithic To secure a larger sur
face of this bitulithic, the. supervisors would
have theYHanat company lay this form of paw
ing between its strAckss 81
The Rapid Transit company declares itself
unehaneeably opposedsto accepting paving
controlled by patent TO agree to this, says the
company, would place it at the mercy of mo

ter should not be forgotten no matter how high

MoR0CcANS' BELIEFS

The Arabs Of Morocco believe, that
the earth is balanced on the horns OF
a bull, which itself rests on a fish on
the surface of the sea-, the sea being.
borne up by the Divine Power. When
the bull is tired he changes the earth
from one horn to the other. with the
result that there is an earthquake.
During sleep the soul leaves the body
and visits other souls. What we see
and hear while dreaming are the things
which the soul sees and the converse
tions in which it takes part during its
peregrinations. Consequently, we ought
never to awakan a sleeper rudely. for
if he happens to be dreaming at that
moment his soul may not have time to
return to the body, ana in consequence
the man will die
Moroccan wizards contend that
ghosts can only be devils, never the
souls of dead people They are human
in appearance. with the exception of
their eyes, which are directed down
wards, and their feet, which are fork
ed or shaped like the hoof of camel.
These ghosts speak. but they are in
tangible. They are of all colors-yel-
low, red, green, white and black-and
their principal occupation consists in
playing tricks on human beings.
At Marrakeeh there is a house in
which the owners placed bath; but
they were unaware that the property
belonged to the devils A young wo-
man came to have bath. but no
sooner had she stepped into the water
than She disappeared. Hearing her
cries for help. the neighbors rushed
in. whereupon she appeared on the
surface of the water As soon as the
people tried to seize her she disap-
peared. and so on for some time. There
was nothing to be done but to close
the house, which thus fell into the
hands of the talebs, who had spread
this story among the credulous popu-
lation of the town for their own end.A

How She Got Fresh Euus.

A young lady living in a small city
had impaired her health by too confin-
ing work In city Office. Her ply
sician ordered her to a sanitarium for
rest and upbuilding, and when she re-
turned to work he instructed her to
eat four fresh laid eggs daily; two
eggs for breakfast and the others raw
in milk. Finding 1t difficult to obtain
dependably fresh eggs she persuaded
her mother to permit her having a
small flock In the home yard. A port.
able house was purchased and fifteen
pullets installed I'm 1t. A small brother
was paid ten cents a week to feed and
care for the flock, two bags of ready
mixed food were bought and the result
of the venture was not only all the
eggs the young lady needed and sup
ply for the family, but there was a
surplus which found ready market
at the corner drug store, bringing ten
cents a dozen above the market price.

PAINTER IN HIS OLD AGE

In the Corcoran Art gallery at Wash

one in which the knights of the pal

To singular genius he has added
painstaking industry, and has pushed
himself up into an enviable place
among the best landscape painters In
water colors In this country.
At a time in life when he was sup
posed to have finished his mission,
and to be allowed to go back and sit
down in a corner and be very still,
the old hero of the Civil war and
Spanish-American war appears as vir-
lie in his intellect as he was at thirty.
and has become a master of art, rev
cling in a realm of beauty, and trans

artist set to old men who think there

from the nearest railroad station. To

found busy woodsman at work. He
had cleared the timber away for a
few rods about, and on that space had
put up snug log cabin. All the rest.
on every side, was the profound, al
most untrodden wilderness. The man
stopped his work and greeted the sur
veyor pleasantly. "And where did
you come fromT he asked. From
