ON UNREST OF THE PEOPLE
WOODROW WILSON.

I'VE stand in the presence of an
awakened nation, impatient OF
partisan make-believe. The public
man who does not realize the fact
and feel its stimulation must be
singularly unsusceptible to the in.
fiuences that stir in every quarter
about him.
THE nation has awakened to 9
sense of neglected ideals and
neglected duties; to conscious
ness that the rank and file of her
people find life very hard to sus-
tain, that her young men find op-
portunity embarrassed, and that
her older men find business diff.
flcult to renew and maintain be.
cause Of circumstances of privilege
and private advantage which have
interlaced their subtle threads
throughout almost every part OF
the framework Of our present law ;
Wilson Speech of Acceptance.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT.

at seems to me, therefore, that
the time is ripe, and overripe, for a
genuine progressive movement,
nation wide and justice loving,
sprung from and responsible to
the people themselves, and sunder-
ed by great gulf from both of
the old party organizations, while
representing all that Is best in the
hopes, beliefs, and aspirations of
the plain people who make up the
immense majority Of the rank and
file Of both the old parties.
"The first essential In the Pro-
gressive program is the right of
the people to rule. But a few
months ago our opponents we're
assuring us with insincere clamor
that 1t was absurd for us to talk
about desiring that the people
should rule, because, as a matter
of fact, the people actually do rule.
Since that time the actions of the
Chicago convention, and to an only
less degree of the Baltimore con-
vention, have shown in striking
fashion how little the people do
rule under our present conditions"

AMERICAN ENVOY
At LONDON TO LOOK
INTO ROGERS DEATH
State Department Sends Di-
rections for Investi-
cation.

The American embassy at London has
been directed by the State Department
to investigate the circumstances sur
rounding the killing of James Wood
Rogers, q Californian, in the African
jungles by British soldiers.
A resolution passed by the House yes
terday is the ba sis of the inquiry. Of
ficials here today said the embassy at
London would have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning access to the report of the Brit
ish officers regarding the tragedy.
Regarding the right of British SOL
diers to kill a poacher without trial, Of
flcials of the State Department would
express no opinion today.
II 1t should appear. they pointed out
today, that Rogers was killed In Bel
gian territory and there was any ground
for demanding redress, the United
States might look to Belgium instead of
Great Britain for justice, leaving Bel
GUM to seek reparation in turn from
Great Britain.
Because of the ready assent of the
State Department to the prospective de-
mand Of Congress for news, the COM
mtttee on Foreign Affairs will not
report the Norris resolution providing
for inquiry into the cause and manner
oil Rogers death. This action Is satis-
factory to Congressman Norris.
The information to be had now con-
cerning Rogers death is very meager.
More facts are needed before one can
determine what ought to be done. The
resolution was introduced merely for
the purpose of getting information and
the State Department asserts it's readi-
ness to obtain it" said Congressman
Norris
According to the first report of Rog-
ers' death the English expedition came
upon him in the depths of a Congo
jungle, when the Californian was dying.
According TO rumor Rogers was killed.
The English regarded him as an out
law, charging him with having carried
on Illicit trade in ivory for many years.
A copy of the full report made to the
English government on the work of
this small expedition will be obtained as
a part of the information the state
Department proposes to collect.
Rogers is credited with having
brought a degree of order into the un-
civilized Congo country and to have
maintained himself virtually as a king,
Whatever his manner of trade he Is
credited, even by the Englishman sent
to hunt him down, with having dis
played great executive ability and hardi-
ness in bringing the country to a state
= of organization.

Northwest Home Looted
While Family Is Away

Complaint has been made to the police
Of the Tenth precinct that the home of
Henry Evans. 3439 Holmead place north
west, was ransacked during the absence
OF members OF the family last week
and a number of articles taken. The
thief entered by forcing the lock on a
side door.
Several months ago an unsuccessful
attempt was made to rob the Evans
home by an unidentified scolored man
who was caught trying to break into
the residence. Mr.. Evans daughter
frightened the would-be thief away and
several pedestrians gave chase.
Two men caught hold of the colored
man, but after a struggle he broke
away from them and escaped.

SPEAKER CLARK TO
INVADE MAINE IN
INTEREST OF PARTY
Defeated Candidate foI
Nomination and Others
to Speak.

Showing that he's a good loser and
willing to work in the ranks II not as
the general. Speaker Champ Clark will
invade Maine within a few days in the
interest of the Democratic ticket.
The prospects are good that Congress
will adjourn before the expiration of
another week. probably on Saturday
night. Speaker Clark will go to Maine
early In September. and will swing
about the State in the interest of the
Democratic ticket.
The information that the Speaker
would get Immediately into harness is
said to have been particularly crafty
ing to Governor Wilson. who defeated
Mr.. Clark at the Baltimore convention.
Other Democratic spellbinders will
invade Maine at the same time the
Speaker takes the stump. They will in
clude Governor Marshall of Indiana
candidate for the Vice Presidency; Gov
ernor Foss of Massachusetts. Governor
Baldwin of Connecticut. and Congress
man Robert l.. Henry of Texas. When
this Democratic quintet begins to shell
the Maine woods the Republican party
will mass its heaviest artillery to offset
the fire.
