DELEGATION
They See Evidence Everywhere
That Missourian Leads
Still Loyal to Oscar.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.

BALTIMORE. June 24-The Geor-
gia delegation, on the scene of the con
vention, has been impressed by the
strength which Champ Clark is show
Ang among the rank and file of the
hundreds of delegates around the ho-
tells. While the delegation is bound to
vote as a unit for Oscar Underwood as
long as his name is before the con-
vention, the Georgians were convinced
that present indications favor the Mis-
sourian.
They have been shown the enthusiasm
with which Clark supporters are work.
ing in the convention city, and have
gained new idea of the strength of
the present speaker Of the house.

Ohio.

Mr.. Taft Is well advised in entering the
Ohio campaign In good season. He did
not enter the campaigns in Illinois or
Pennsylvania at all. He was late In Wis
iting Massachusetts,. and reached Mary
land only at the eleventh hour. But the
Ohio voters will have two weeks In
which to digest his speeches, and CO.
pecially those portions bearing upon Mr..
Raosevelt's distortion of the record. and
be the better prepared to express them
selves on primary day.
The opponents of the President declare
that the severest criticism of him Ia the
fact that ne finds II necessary to take the
stump at home They assert that II he
had made good in Office according to
his own claims. neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor
anybody else could have threatened him
there.
But We have to consider that Ohio pol
itics is unusually disturbed this year on
both sides. and that federal patronage
has much to do with the Presidents en-
barrassments- Had he been able to re-
member all applicants for office according
to their wishes there would have been
no anti-Taft movement in the state.
On the question of bosses something
curious exists Mr.. Roosevelt cites George
b. Cox against Mr.. Taft. And yet Mr..
Taft has tackled Cox openly, aud as 9

Maj. Archibald Butts Masonic associ-
ates yesterday paid to him tribute that
is In some respects to be regarded as
the funeral exercises, inasmuch as there
is little likelihood of the recovery of his
body and therefore small chance that OPP
portunity will be afforded for general
public manifestation Of feeling. The ex-
ercises yesterday were of a character to
attest clearly TO the country at large
the honorable place which Maj. Butt held
in the esteem of those who knew him
intimately. Sincere expression was given
to appreciations Of his character, his
fidelity to duty, his high concept of citi-
zenship and his personal attributes that
won him friends far beyond the usual
allotment of men. The eloquent and feel
Ing words of President Taft were ex-
ceptionally expressive, inasmuch as Maj.
Butt had served him in a most intimate
capacity, and 1t was IN the highest de-
gree fitting that his chief should testify
as he did to his sterling worth and adj
mirable personal qualities. The circum-
stances of his death have made Maj.
Butts name known throughout the world.
He sacrificed himself that others might
live, and the American people are today
proud of him as a splendid type of
manhood.

Rooseveltitis-"The Real Thing"

The Roosevelt people in Maryland
struck the true Roosevelt note Satur-
day They acclaimed the visitor in
the terms most acceptable to him. and
most expressive of the Roosevelt wor-
ship.
At one place he was introduced as
"the greatest ex-President living"
That signified the right intention, but
was faulty in execution. 1t was too
much like the little boys boast to his
father that he was at the head of his
class at school when IL turned out that
he was the only member Of the class
Later. the praise was raised. At
another place Mr.. Roosevelt was pre-
sented to the crowd as "the real
thing" That was more like II. and 1t
must have pleased the subject OF the
eulogy He has taste for snappy,
unconventional. curbstcne phrases.
But the third attempt proved the
charm. At still another place the
visitor was characterized by the in
dividual who introduced him as 1.-THE
greatest human being that ever trod
this earth" That man struck twelve
o'clock-the limit.
Is it difficult to imagine the picture?

the III part VI the uHCcTtdiI,
and in part of the merely curious. A
local celebrity. carried away by the
honor which has fallen to him of
standing by the side of a man of inter
national reputation. And then the
world-f famous man himself, all ap-
prevail by his manner of the tall ap-
praisal put upon him by his futtered
and flattering sponsor.
Tho w hi.S al in,
Maryland, is an obsession. A new af-
Fiction has appeared, and is spreading.
Rooseveltitis is its name. and some
very good men are down with IT. To
say simply that Mr.. Roosevelt is re-
markable man no longer counts To
say that while President he performed
some good service emitting him to a
place among the strong men who have
held that office is now but a mild
tribute. To say that he is the greatest
politician since Julius Caesar is merely
an attempt to grasp the actual fact.
This Maryland orator touched goal.
1t was reserved for him to express the
simple truth in one simple sentence.
Israel produced prophets and states
men. Greece showed philosophy and
art in flower. Rome carried oratory
and war to the heights. But America.
in the early days of this twentieth
century. shows the greatest man in
the history of all the centuries.
II this is conceded the rest follows
logically and irresistibly. With the
greatest man that ever trod the earth
now alive and "in our midst" what is
the American duty? Clearly. to put
him into commission again. Turn the
country over to him, and humbly be-
speak his attention to the small job
of administering the affairs of his be-
nighted and incompetent fellow citi-
zens. What is little thing like bossing
ninety million people to a superman
capable of bossing the earth?

Of recent events the public is likely to
forget what Langley did He produced a
machine that was in all essentials a prac
ticable flying apparatus. 1t Is believed
that this device would today make head
way In the air In safety. but owing to
the deficiency Of the launching device
1t never got a fair Roadway in the trials
and the experiments were abandoned just
at the time when success was within
reach. But Langley's work was not
wasted. His scientific calculations Of air
pressure and lifting power have proved of
the utmost value to subsequent expert
mentors and investigators. and are rec
ognized as having laid the foundations Of
science which has developed rapidly
during the past decade. The Wright
brothers, pioneers in actual practical
flight. have already most generously and
fully acknowledged their Indebtedness

From the New York World.
Nearly seven centuries ago the Island
Of Rhodes, off the southwest coast OF
Asia Minor, fell into the hands of Italian
adventures. whose control some years
later was supplanted by the Knights Hos
pitallers Of st. John Of Jerusalem. This
strange body of military monks held II
for more than two centuries: then they
gave way to the Turks. Now Italians
are back there again, and not through an
irresponsible group of rovers, but through
an army of 5000 men representing the
government of united Italian kingdom
which has. taken possession Of one Of the
most important of Turkeys insular pos
sessions without material resistance.
There was much cheering in the chamber
Of deputies at Rome Saturday when the
news was received. This Is a distinct
blow at the integrity Of the Turkish en-
pire even as an Asiatic power.
