ROOSEVELT SPEECH.

alter reading Theodore Rooseyelts'
speech delivered at Columbus, Ohio,
the other day, we must admit that
We are surprised at the position he
takes on Progressive measures. He
certainly has changed a great deal
since four years ago. In this speech
he practically takes Senator La-Fol-
lette's platform and in some parti-
culars goes him one better We
don't believe that he has made him
self any stronger with the Progress
siye Republicans Of the country than
he was before.
In fact we can read between the
lines and have come to the conclu-
sion that he is a shrewd politician.
This speech laid the foundation with
a hope that he might become Presi-
dent again for third term and if in
stalled as President, it is a ques-
t ion just what his platform viii be
if furnished by the Republican con
yention We have always been a
great admirer of Theodore Roose
velt and believed him to be man
Of great integrity and meant to per
form just what he advocated. But
in his present attitude we are in
doubt We feel that he has under
handedly, through some of his in
innate friends, undermined our friend
Senator La Toilette in his ambition
to become President. We are posi-
lively opposed to the third term i
dea in his candidacy and we must
admit that we believe he and his
friends are trying to take the place
that has been made possible by Sen
ator La Toilette in the Progressive
principles that are now being de
manded by the people of this country
Roosevelt is a shrewd, keen poll
tician and he sees in the future what
the Progressive people, of this coun-
try, regardless of party are going
to demand from future administra-
tons.
His desire now, We believe, is to
ride in to the Presidency upon that
wave that was so well founded and
prepared by Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin. Roosevelt has many mil
lfonaire friends who are willing to
assist him financially while Senator
La Toilette is a poor man with few
rich friends to help him in a finan-
eial way. We still have hopes that

If he fails we hope that Roosevelt

EmsAaRAsslNo MOMENT.


There is one young fellow in this
city who Will be careful about his ac-
tions in the future. A few nights
ago, while hilarious and indiscreet
from the effects of too c,,ose an ac-
quaintance with the flowing bowl, he
stepped in an elevator of a down
town building. Two young ladies
there attracted his attention, and he
managed to murmur:
ooh, you big blue eyes. 1 do like
blue eyes"
The young ladies ignored him. A
few minutes later he was talking to
a friend in an Office upstairs.
"You've got to excuse me this
time" his friend said 'fMy wife is
waiting for me down stairs"
"Huh? Your wife? Say, you
don't mean to tell me one of those
ladies down there is your wife?"
There was a painful pause, fol-
lowed by hasty and voluble explana-
tons and apologies.

GREATEST
OF BALL TRIOS
Is BROKEN UP

When Pittsburg, a few weeks ago
traded Tommy Leach and Lefty Lei
held to the Chicago Cubs for Artie
HOFFMAN and King Cole. one of the
greatest trios of baseball players
known in the history of the game was
forever broken.
This trio was composed of Honus
Wagner, Fred Clarke and Tommy
Leach, the Big Three" It was
formed 13 years ago, when in the sea-
son of 1893 Tommy Leach, a fast boy,
was sent to play third base for the
Louisville Colonels, which team was
then on the National League circuit.
For 1S years these great players
hung together electrifying the base
ball world, winning four pennants
and one worlds championship.
Probably no such trio ever PLAYED
together, as did the mighty Wagner.
the great leader, Clarke, and fast,
brainy Leach.
Some idea of the heart-breaking
pace led by these men can be had
from the fact that 5905 times they hit
safely after coming to bat no more
