BULL MEEsE LISTEN TO
THE CALL OF THEIR BOSS

Former President Roosevelt, having
previously wound up his campaign, set
the hands TO high noon and started IL
to running at Chicago Tuesday. 1t
will be wound up again in November
wound so tight that the handspring
will snap.
Mr.. Roosevelts address had pre-
yiousIy been sent out over the country
in plate matter, but the colonel, as
usual. flew the track and began from
the first to inject new matter into his
address, so that by the time he had
finished his speech, il resembled its
copy about as much as the moon re-
sembled a green cheese. We want TO
say to those who vaunt their conser-
vatism, che said, that we are the real
conservatives"
The delegates sat is somewhat amaz-
ed silence as the colonel paused. The
situation was relieved and there was
as great cheer as he added:
For the only wise conservative Is
the wise progressive"
1t is no more than fair TO say that
his speech was original, interesting
and strongly American. He extended
his advocacy of the recall of judicial
decisions to federal as well as &c
state courts He would make easier
the amendment Of both the national
and state constitutions and advocated
measures for the control of the trusts
laws to secure social and industrial
Justice for workers, and the granting
Of womans suffrage He stood out fol
better pure food laws, the fertilization
of the Panama canal, free tolls fol
american vessels through the canal
and the use of the canal machinery
for developing and protecting the Mis-
sissippi valley lie advocated a tariff
for revenue only, but said neither th'
democrats nor the republicans in Con
gress were fit to make the right sor
of a tariff He stood strongly for th'
making of tariffs by commissions, bu
said the present tariff board was no
strong enough to do the work.
The troublesome Southern negro
question, which for a time threatened
dissension in the first convention o
the national progressive party, wa
finally disposed of yesterday when TIL
convention itself, without a dissentin:
voice and without discussion, adopted
the report of the credentials commit
tee, unseating both the white an
negro delegates from Florida an
throwing out the negro delegates from
Mississippi.

HOW MOISTURE AFFECTS TIRES

The action of moisture on the rub
Der in a tire is insignificant, but its
effect on the canvas is serious enough
to be worthy OF attention.
Experiments made by the Michelin
Tire Company show that if cotton is
quickly dried after contact with mOis-
ture IL suffers but little, even if this
happens many times. \ piece Of cot
ton fabric which was exposed for a
month in the open air to the action Of
sun and rain did not lose more than
two per cent of its initial strength,
while a piece Of calico, after being wet
through and through and dried in
front Of fire more than twenty times,
did not lose more than three per cent
Moreover, if cotton fabric il Immersed
in water for thirteen months il does
not lose much Of it's strength. altho
the surface of the water meanwhile
becomes coated with fungus growths
If. however. the fabric is left to lie in
a moist atmosphere, on the floor Of a
damp cellar for instance. spots and
stains will soon make their appear
ance. These stains denote the pres
ence Of destructive growths of minute
bacilI which will rapidly reduce the
per hung in damp rooms will eventual.
ly fall from the walls and crumble t.
dust.
1t follows that what really injure:
the canvas in pneumatic tires is con
tinued dampness If water is allowed
| to get into cuts which extend through
the tread to the fabric. some such con
dition Of continued dampness will b'
brought about. tor once the moisture
enters a cut 1T has but little chance 4
evapOrate.
! Tires should therefore be stored il
cool places which are perfectly dry
After travelling over wet roads en-
velopes should always he dried $
! likewise after being washed. 1t is i'm
portant that tires be washed regularl
in order that cuts may be revealed
cleaned and repaired. The best way {
wash a tire is TO sponge it lightl
when fully inflated. using the smalles
possible amount of water and dryint
both tire and rim carefully as soon a
the operation is complete.

young colored man who is trying
to live right himself and bring his
children up right, has written a letter
to the Miami Herald regarding real es-
tate men who rent houses for immoral
purposes in districts tenanted mostly
by negroes. He says very truly that
colored people have no protection
against this class of people, who are
not only annoying and dangerous to
the honest men and women, but add
immensely to the task of bringing
children up decently. He speaks truly
of an evil not confined to Miami. White
people are so ready to condemn ne
groes for doing wrong that they should
be ready to help them to do right, and
every city should see TO it that re
stricted districts" are kept apart from
colored localities as we'll as white
ones.
