SPEAKS FROM CAR
Colonel Roosevelt Narrowly
Averts Mishap, but Finds
Place TO Talk From.

MARION, o., May 1S.-Theodore
Roosevelt spoke here for twentymin-
utes this morning. Just before the
train arrived the platform from which
he was TO speak collapsed and a num-
Der of persons were caught in the
mass of broken timbers. All escaped
serious injury. The Colonel found an
audience of 5000 persons awaiting him
and no platform from which to address
them.
In a characteristic manner he shin
ned up the ladder of a box car and
made his talk. He did not proceed how
ever until his stenographer was com
fortably seated on a brakebeam. He re-
ferred to the demolished platform as
one not like the one on which he is
campaigning, and said that his planks
were more substantial. Although the
| Colonel said nothing that was really
new, he was literally applauded.

PEACE DEPENDS ON.
PRESS OF NATIONS
Declares William G. Deming
in Address Before Mo-
honk Conference.
tNational News Association,

LAKE MOHONK, n. Y, May IL
In his address before the delegates to
the eighteenth annual meeting Of the
Lake Mohonk Conference on Interna-
tionaI Arbitration, William G. Deming,
Of Cheyenne, declared today that the
success Of the movement for interna-
tional peace was condition on the sup
port of the press of different nations.
The time has come, he said, when 1T
has become the plain duty of the
press to take more than business
interest in the movement for the abo-
lition of war. Mr.. Deming said in
part:
acting in unison, with high and
patriotic purpose, the newspapers
and magazines by systematic and per-
sistent effort can place the United
States in the vanguard of nations
ready, anxious and willing to discard
the barbarisms of war.
What Press Can Do.
They can create a sentiment with
in twelve months which will force
congress to invite every civilized ma
ton on the globe to become an ire
vocable party to an international court
that will settle every difference which
can possibly arise between nations In
GLIDING all questions of honor, and
thereby reduce the ornaments or the
world to a mere police footing.
1.-THE press of the nation has not
only a great positive, duty in the prem
ises, but it's failure or neglect to sieze
the opportunity is nothing less than
criminal"
Learned lawyers of the United
States Senate may bubble over Sen
ate prerogatives as to the treaty max
ing power; lingo statesmen and cap
italistic newspapers may create bogle
questions of honor over which te
throw nations into the horrors of war
but the simple fact remains that the
powers OF earth can proclaim and es
tablish permanent peace and 1t Is
the duty of the press of the world te
see that they do It.
ut is needless to tell this learned as
sembly of the enormous demand mill
tarism makes upon the resources Of
the country.
For more than thirty years the Uni
ted States has expended for the crea
ton and maintenance of armies anc
navies, for pensions and interest upoT
war debts, seventy-two per cent OF its
revenues, while only twenty eight pei
cent has been ussd for the admins
tration and maintenance of civil at
fairs.
"These figures are the severest in
dictment of our national Intelligence
and yet it is within the power of th'
press to say to Congress; Thus IA
and no Farther Shalt Thou Co.
1.-THE press should await no psyche
logical moment. No miracle will trans
pire. We should 60 forth by the ligh
we have and with the homely weapons
at hand
