NEAR BREAK ON
NEGRO PROBLEM
Roosevelt Says New Party
Was Threatened.
FINALLY HAD his WAY
Colonel Declares He Convinced North
ern Prouressives That His Plan Was
the Only Solution of the Trouble
some Question.


the Only Solution of the Trouble
some Question.
Oyster Bay, ~. ", Aug. 12.-How
near the Progressive party came to a
break at its first national convention
was told by Colonel Roosevelt. The
negro question, he said, created a
breach which for a time threatened
to make serious trouble. The disa-
greement, said Colonel Roosevelt, was
due largely to the fact that some of
the Northern delegates who were gen
timely anxious to help the negro in tn
South did not understand how to do it.
They told the colonel that by refus-
ing to give the blacks in the South
representation he was treating them
unfairly and that they could not con
sent TO such action. Colonel Roose.
velts reply. he said, was to point out
TO them the attitude of the negro dele.
gates in the Republican convention
and TO say that IL they wished to Gre
ate these conditions within the Pro
sressive party they must do it with
cut him.
In the face of this ultimstum the
colonel had his way and he believes
that he succeeded In convincing those
who at first opposed him that il was
the right way.
1T was the only way, absolutely,
Colonel Roosevelt said. IL the new
party should win, he continued, many
people would say six months after
election that the plan had failed be
cause the negro still suffered from in
justices. But In ten years. he said
they would understand that step II
advance had been taken and that tht
country was on the right way toward
the solution Of the whole problem.
Colonel Roosevelt cheerfully ad
mitted that the Progressive party In
framing its platform had taken ma
terial from the Democrats.
William Jennings Bryan says yol
have taken Democratic IDEAS" h
was told.
I'VE have" he replied with a smile
'We have taken all the Democratic
ideas except those ft for inmates o

Uncle Sam Refuses to Allow the Wa.
ter Power People to Close Canal
Middle Of Next
Month.
TO AFFECT NAVIGATION
Large Shipping Concerns Got Busy
With the War Department and
River VIII Accordingly
Remain Open.

WASHINGTON, Aug. brig. Gen.
w. H. Bixby has informed Representa-
tive Bartholdt of ST. Louis he would
not grant the request of the Keokuk
Power Company for permission to
close the canal on September Is, thus
closing navigation on the upper Mis-
sissippi river two months earlier than
usual. Instead, the constructing COM
pany will be authorized to keep the
canal closed later than usual next
spring.
The company desired to close
earlier than usual in order that the
work of construction on the immense
new lock might be fastened. The con-
tention was that by closing the canal
earlier it would be possible to com
plete this work within one year, while
if it were not closed until the middle
of November the work would extend
over nearly two years.
AS soon as 1t became known up and
down the river that the company con.
templated closing the canal in Sep.
TENDER, lumber men and other users
of the river wired protests to their
representatives in congress and to the
secretary of war. Two st. Louis lum'
Der companies wired Bartholdt to
4 take up the matter with Gen. Bixby
which he did Immediately. Gen. Bixby
decided the company could proceed
with the work as rapidly next spring
as in the fall and that shippers would
be better able to make arrangements
to meet the emergency if given eight
months notice than if less than sixty
days notice was given.

make you feel good. 1t is especially
good as a summer tonic and its use
frequently prevents serious sickness.
Mrs. Tim: Unhealthy scalps cause
