ICE RAMMED SHIP
CAUTION
Captain of Liner Which Struck
Berg Rewarded by PaSsen-
gers for Seamanship.

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 21.-The Allan
liner Corsican, which rammed an ice
berg off the coast of Newfoundland Of
August -, arrived in port today. The
passengers were loud in their praise
of the seamanship of Captain Cook,
commander of the vessel, and present
ed him with a gold watch and an en-
bossed address.
Captain Cook said that when the
vessel struck the berg the weather was
hazy. On account of the fog the ship
was going very slowly. The lookout
sighted the berg and gave the alarm
Full steam astern was ordered but de-
spite the reverse of the engines the
momentum carried the vessel upon the
ice The steam head was stove in ten
feet but as the hole was above the wa
ter line Captain Cook decided to con-
tinue the voyage
When the steamer crashed the pas
sengers became excited, as the memory
of the Titanic tragedy came back to
them Officers went among the five
hundred passengers assuring them that
there was no danger
After a time the fears of the pas
sengers died out and with the bow
temporarily patched the voyage was
continued.
In the meantime word of the col
lision had been flashed by wireless and
answered by other ships within range.

By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-There is work
on hand. The country's president pick
ing this year is to be no childs play
no trivial matter. Conditions are what
writer's on social order and economics
call acute. The next president can do
much toward ameiorating them or
much toward making them worse
The vulgar arrogance of money is
one of the great causes of commercial
and political disturbance as often as
otherwise Uhhappness is commonly
the bitter fruit Of comparisons; and
discomfort comes as the result of look
ing at the other fellow from the window
and then taking survey of ones self
in the glass.
Some notion of what I'm driving at
can be gathered from any mornings
perusal of the daily papers. The other
day it was published that Mr.. Rookie
fellers income is $50, 900. 600 a year.
This is more than the aggregate income
Of all the sovereigns Of Europe, inClud-
ing King George. These Rockefeller
riches grew out of an investment Of
nothing in As years How? Rebate
protection Mr.. Rockefeller began as
a rebater to become later an infant in
dustry. Also, as an infant industry,
he was careful not to grow up.
DO you realize what $4,000, 900
means? Were it all in gold it would,
upon the principle of a ton to a team
call for 1O4 spans of horses to take Mr.
Rockefeller his yearly income, and
make a close-locked procession nearly
mile long. The average oil wage to
the laborer is under an annual $500
No Reason For Inequality.
There's no reason, moral. physical
social, political, commercial, why this
yawning inequality should exist. It's
in the face of natural law. and, there
fore. in the face of justice. The oil
worker. with his less than $500 a year
knows these things, feels these things
and they help him to a hatred of our
institutions, urge him into Socialism.
Were | business manager of the na-
ton | would issue a bulletin to voters
giving the following directions: Don't
look at the platform; look at the MAN.
For. after all in politics the MAN is
the big issue
How often must you be reminded
that in 1892 you elected president on
tariff platform who called an extra
session on finance. how often that in
1896 you elected president on a
finance platform who called an extra
session on tariff? So much for the
platform, SO much for the overshad-
owing Importance Of the MAN. Stick
10 the MAN. Look him over with care.
There are men whom power spells,
and who can not be made great with
out being made dangerous. Mr. Taft,
OF the latter is an eminent example.

one of the great world figures in the
spread of the Christian religion.
Colonel Kitching private secretary to
General Booth. who was present in the
death room. told today how the great
evangelist had died
General Booth passed away peace
fully with a smile upon his face" said
Colonel Kitching. He apparently felt
no pain and all at the bedside were
struck by the beatific expression upon
his face in the last hour of life. The
last person to whom the dying man
spoke was his son. BramwelI Booth.
There was not dry eye. Those in the
death chamber were Mr.. and Mrs.
Bramwel Booth. their daughter, Adju-
tant Catherine Booth; their son, Ser
geant Bernard Booth; the generals
youngest daughter. Commissioner Mrs,
Booth Helberd; Commissioner Howard,
DIR. Ward Law and myself"
Successors Name Secret.
Interest today centered in the iden-
tity of the successor to General Booth.
He had already been appointed but
the founder had taken pains to prevent
his name from becoming public. About
fortnight ago General Booth held a
long conversation with his solicitor and
placed the name of his successor in a
sealed packet to be opened after his
General Booths) death.
The general belief was that the bur
den of heading this great international
army of religious Workers would fall
upon the shoulders OF Bramwell Booth.
Bramwen Booth has been chief of staff
of the army since 1890. He began in a
lowly position in the white chapel bar
racks of the army and worked his way
up.
A movement has been started to have
General Booths body buried among
Great Britain's heroes of war and peace
in Westminster Abbey. Supporters of
this movement pointed out that the
founder Of the church militant deserved
through his long tenure of usefulness
not only to be remembered by the en-
pire. but by the whole world Members
of the family opposed the idea of in
terring the remains in Westminster
Abbey, saying that it was General
Booths private wish to lie beside the
body of his wife in Abney Park. Stoke
Newington. Mrs. Booth died q years
ago,
Mr.. Booth was SO years old at the
time of his death and for years had
been a commanding figure in the world
Of religion. He founded the Salvation
Army in 1876 Twenty years later he
and his son, Ballington Booth, quar-
relied and the latter started a rival or
ganization known as the Volunteers Of
America.
1t was announced that the body Of
the late evangelist would lie in state in
the army's headquarters in Congress
hall, Clapton. until the funeral.
General Booths funeral will take
place probably Thursday or Friday of
next week

the people forgot to observe for them

President Taft Because Mr. Taft was
not constantly proclaiming his own
merits from the housetops, many were
deceived into believing that there were
no achievements of which to boast

Political Horn Blowing.
But the Taft method makes some do
mand upon the people themselves. II
calls upon them to make their own oh
SerVauons. to weigh the legislation en-.
acted in their behalf to do their own
thinking. That is as it should be in q
democracy, for after all it is the peonIe
who must judge and their Judgment
should not be prejudiced by a constant
blowing of political horns.r
There is, too. another factor which
mas played its part in detracting from
the general popularity of the Taft ad-
ministration, and that is the persistent
and willful Misrepresentation Of a man
whose motives, for time obscure. were
made all too clear by the organization
Of the third party in Chicago recently.
Actuated by personal disa ppointment
because they had not been themselves
retained in or appointed to office. or
because they could not bear to see an
other exercising the power and enjoy
ing the honor Of high office. he and his
followers have willfully, deliberately
and persistently misrepresented Presi-
dent Tafts administration. and they
have done so from the vantage point of
Republicans.
Aienated by ViIification.
Had they been avowed Democrats
their charges would have been disre-
garded as the natural criticisms Of OPP
posing partisans. But. being ostensi-
bly, Republicans, their words command
ed respect to which they were not en-.
titled and their purposes were not OBJ
vious until they made them clear by the
organization of third party which has
no reason for being other than to re-
store to power those who, for one rea-
son or another, had nothing to hope
for from the party to which they had
professed loyalty
There are many who now appreciate
the animus which all along has
prompted the unfair criticisms Of Pres
ident Taft and who resent the efforts
to mislead them by men who at heart
sought only the promotion OF their own
interests and their own ambitions. Al
ready there are many signs that the
campaign of Misrepresentation and VIII

best serve-Mr Roosevelt, Mr. Taft or

No American likes to take a chance
when ii comes to his White House. As
TO Mr.. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt, all is
plain saling-the wind is aft. the open
ocean dead ahead. His seven presi-
dental years proved the courageous
White House worth of Mr. Roosevelt.
Mr. Taft, in his presidential three
years plus has shown conclusively his
ttmid, White House worthlessness.
Mr.. Wilson? He is wholly without

case more difficult. Presidentially con-
sidered, he's a pig in poke
