COLONEL STARTS
CAMPAIGN TODAY
In Providence Will Take Op-
portunity to AssaiI Viii
sons Position.

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 16.-Colonel
Roosevelt left here today to begin
his speaking campaign.
He is scheduled to speak in
Infantry Hall, Providence, tonight
and his speech, which was completed
yesterday: will deal in part with the
tariff issue in the light of the wooden
schedules for which, the colonel says,
some of Rhode Islands well-known
citizens are responsible.
The colonel also will take occasion
to make one or two slaps at Gov
ernor Wilson. Especially is he anx-
ious to take exception to Wilson's
declaration in his speech of accept
ance that the Democratic platform IS
not a pragram.
A of party action, Ro 'se-
Welt says, is just what a platform
should be, and his own, he contends,
is just that.
He also will make reference to Will
sons habit of assailing present con-
ditions without presenting definite
remedies, and will attack Wilson's
present stand, which, the colonel
says, was to convince some voters
thai he is conservative and safe, ever
though he secured his nomination as
a progressive.
Roosevelt also has prepared a long
defense of his presidential ad-
mnistration and his entrance into the
field as a presidential candidate
again.
Tomorrow night Colonel Roosevelt
will deliver a speech along the same
lines at Revere Beach, near Boston.
He intends to return home Sunday
night.

RIGHT AND WRONG CANAL POLICY.

IL GROPE gives US object lessons in canal building. We have
IL permitted the railroads to take possession of our canals
or wreck them in pursuance of a policy of killing off
traffic competition. European countries have protected their
canals from this selfish and destructive policy and are constant
ly increasing their canal facilities. In Germany the railroads
are owned by the government and canal development, which is
being vigorously prosecuted, does not in the least affect the
railroad traffic unfavorably. An official report says that there
is now proposed the construction of a transcontinental canal
All the rivers running from south to north into the Baltic and
North seas are to be joined together, thus bringing the east and
southeast into direct communication with the North sea. By
this means the industrial districts of Alsace Lorraine and Lux
emburg will gain immensely. All three provinces have been
developing their industries by leaps and bounds during the last
ten years, and will get a fresh impetus by cheaper canal freights.
Fortunately for Germany its lawmakers are not controlled by
railroad interests, and its boards of trade and other commercial
bodies are free from that influence. German policy would make
The Morris canal a valuable waterway for this State. American
policy has wrecked it and may abandon it altogether.

"Circus Methods in the

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Charles d.
Hilles, chairman of the Republican
national committee, has issued a
statement in behalf of President Taft,
in which he declares that the presi-
dent Is retiring and conservative and
opposed to- what he terms "circus
methods in the presidency"
1t is due to President Taft's abhor-
renee of advertising" Mr. HiIles
says, that his record of measures adj
vocated and laws enacted during his
administration is not better known,
and that his administration has not
beer more popular among the masses
of the people.
president Taft" the Republican
chairman says, prefers a. dignified
conduct of the office of the chief ex-
ecutive. He is a statesman rather
than a politician, and is unaccustomed
to blowing his own horn He does
not believe in conducting the office of
President by methods which suggest
the circus, the press agent and the
theatrical performance"

WASTE-WAIST

Governor Eberhart, of Minnesota,
during an address told the following
story of his own experience:
"Once while travelling through my
State l was noticing in particular the
great amount of waste that was go
ing on about me. During the after
noon went into the dining-car,
which was crowded. so l sat down
near one end of the car, opposite a
fieshy lady. who. | thought, weighed
at least $50 pounds.
"As l looked past the lady through
the car window, not noticing her par
ticularly, 1 was impressed by the vast
amount of farm machinery that was
unsheltered and exposed to the
weather and could not help but re-
mark, What a waste!
1.-THE old lady opposite me faced
me souarely and said, Mister, you
Just mind your own business Eek

EXPECTS
TO VISIT MAINE
In Speech to Farmers of New
Jersey, Pokes Fun at
Roosevelt.

SEA GIRT, Aug. 16.-Governor VIII
son, through a member of his cam
paign committee, announced today
that he may find 1t possible to make
a few speeches in Maine before the
gubernatorial election there, Septem-
| Der 9.
Maine political leaders have been
| ~besieging the Governor with requests
| that he visit the State. hut his en-
| gagements for. speeches to be made
| early in the campaign were $50 nearly
/ filed that 1t was believed it would
be impossible for him to speak. IN
New England. The chances of his
| appearance there seem brighter to-
day. however.
The Governor remained at the lit
tie White House today receiving Wis
itors and consulting with his ad-
visors. He expressed himself as very
well satisfied with the opening of his
campaign at Gloucester yesterday,
when he addressed $500 persons at
the South Jersey Farmers picnic in
Washington Park.
Wilson made a strong bid for the
farmer vote at this gathering. He
preached lower tariff as a necessity
for the tillers of the soil, declared
himself an advocate of a merchant
marine and a parcels post, and an
nounced himself in favor Of thu ex-
clusion from the Panama canal OF
ships owned by railroads.
The Governor poked fun at the
Roosevelt platform as he talked OF
the plank in the democratic plat
form pledging the party to provide
Industrial, agricultural and vocational
education.
There are no lines devoted to 1t
in the Republican platform he said,
land there are so many lines In The
Bull Moose platform hat I haven't
found it yet. It's a Sabbath Days
journey through that program. II
there are any such lines I haven't

THE LAW AND THE ROsENTHAL CASE.

OF HE mills of the law grind slowly in the Rosenthal assas-
sination case and it is a question how fine the grinding
is going to be. The chief miller is District Attorney
Whitman, who does not appear to have had much aid from the
police, and who has made progress mainly by his individual eff
forts. AS the case has developed, the murder of Gambler Rosen-
thai becomes of secondary Importance. The main object of in
vestigation is to uncover the men and the system in the police
department of which Rosenthal was the victim. If all the facts
can be brought out, if the criminal graft out of which grew the
murder conspiracy can be laid bare, it will matter little if the
two wretches who fred the fatal shots and are now eluding
Justice are not apprehended. 1t will be enough to punish the
principals and destroy the system that has done so much evil to
the fine name of the metropolis.

THE NEW PARTY NOW IN CONGRESS.

eTa HE first Progressive party member of Congress has been
HJl elected in Alaska and in the election held last Tuesday
the Taft Republican candidate was third, having been
beaten by the Socialist candidate. Alaska being a territory, its
congressional representative is a delegate, but obviously the
vote would have been the same were Alaska a State. In the No
vember elections there will be Progressive candidates in nearly
all the Congress districts throughout the country, including the
twelve districts in New Jersey. Whatever may prove to be the
sase in the presidential election the Progressive candidates. in
the Congress districts will cut heavily into the Republican vote
and will affect the Democratic vote to a much less degree.

FEARS FOR INDUSTRY

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 16.-Nathan
T. Folwell, president of the Manufac-
turers' Club and one of the best
known business men in the country,
says:
IF Woodrow Wilson is elected we
car look for a wet blanket over the
entire. textile industry of this eoun-
try and the hundreds of thousands Of
workers that industry employs. Will
son is in sympathy with tariff for
revenue only, lower wages for the
working man, and would favor for
eign manufacturers at the expense OF
our domestic industries and our own
working people"

4 JUDICIAL ExcREscENcE REMAINS.

1EHE Commerce Court, made odious to the people by its
feactionary character and tainted by the crookedness of
Judge Archibald, must now be endured until there is a
change of administration. The Presidents veto of an important
appropriation bill in order to save this discredited and unpopu-
lar body fastens it upon the government until the next Congress
shall abolish, it. The Commerce Court was the only one of the
vicious features of the railroad bill proposed by the President
and sent to the last Congress left in the bill when it was passed.
The Presidents bill if made a law would have chained the ma
ton to the railroad chariot. A Republican Senate has now con-
demned the Commerce Court and sought to get rid of this
judicial excrescence, a second singing rebuke by a Republican
body in which, fortunately, the administration influence could
not prevail.

THAT HARTMAN FUND

OYSTER BAY, Aug. 16.-The con

1904 has been made keener. Colonel
Roosevelt, after a telephone talk with
George r. Sheldon, former treasurer
of the Republican committee, an

ated the ~colonel's view of the trans
action, as against that of former
Governor BENJAMIN B. Odell. while
testifying before the Stanley commit

thing that occurred. The aid of Mr..
Hartman was sought to get funds
for the State campaign.
