 Facing Great Crisis
 "We are facing the greatest crisis since the days of Lincoln" said Colonel Roosevelt in his address here today.
 ''1 ask ex-democrats and eX-repub- licans alike to leave the old parties, both of them boss-ridden and privilege controlled, and come with us, for we stand for the eternal principles of righteousness"
 Colonel Roosevelt said he was mov- ed deeply by his reception in Seattle. The demonstration led him to lay aside the concrete issues of the campaign when he began his address and to de- liver instead what he calls one of his elay sermons"
 'T ask you to support us,' he said, 'in the name of morality, of honesty,

Regarding the destruction of American property, it all must be and will be paid for by the Mexican gov ernment when peace again comes to the land
 No Intervention
 "The New York Times yesterday wired me for an expression regarding intervention. I replied as I have to you, that I am not in favor of our people making war or medling, with arms in our hands, in the trouble.
 Hopes "Fever" Will Pass
 "The question of intervention has become an acute one during the past three days, but I hope the fever will pass and that the people of the United States will not do something that will bring regret, trouble and great cost

Alderman Drops Judicial Aspirations.

learning from conversation with
Governor Brewer while in Jackson,
Tuesday that he would not consider
DIS timber for judicial appointments
any lawyer that was declared appli-
cant, our Mr.. J. E. Alderman decid-
ed to drop his aspirations in that
line. The Governor told him that
when he got ready to make an APP
pointment OF 8 Judge he would look
roudd over the bar and send for the
man he thought most suitable and
talk it oyer with him with view of
finding out if the appointment would
be acceptable. So Alderman will
make no further moves IN that line
and if he gets the JOB it will be pure
ly from Gov. Brewers initiative.
Such being the case the Herald will
have no more to say IN the interest
of Mr.. Alderman in this connection,
as it might hurt his chances.

DRINK HABIT AMONG WOMEN
Americans Consume More Liquor Than
DO Their English Sisters--Much
of 1t Is Done Openly

American women drink as much as,
If not more than, English women, ac-
cording to DIR. John D. Quackenbos,
who has made a study of the ques-
ton. Unlike DR.. Murray Leslie, Lon
don physician, who asserted that there
Is far more secret drinking among
women than his generally known, Dr.
Quackenbos says that in America
women make no effort to conceal their
drinking, but proclaim their overload
ness for highballs, cocktails and cham
payne by indulging to excess in pub
lie cafes, restaurants and the big ho-
tells. Smoking, too. he says, Is a vice
coupled with the drink habit that Is
working havoc among women as well
as girls.
There Is not so much secret drink
ing here as in England" DR.. Quacken-
Dos said, because women can be seen
any night drinking what they fancy
and without trying to keep any one
from knowing what they are drinking.
American women In doing anything
good or bad generally &C to extremes,
and my experience In New York shows
It Is very difficult to control the drink
habit among them because of their I'M
willingness to make any social sacri-
fees.
For instance, they keep going to So
cial functions where punch and other
alcoholic drinks are served, and they
give wine dinners themselves. They
will play with fire and tempt Provi-
dence continually. There Is one wom-
an now who Is a patient Of mine who
will take as many as ten glasses Of
brandy at "a sitting. And the most un-
fortunate thing about 1t is that the
habit is developing among young girls,
and debutantes at their luncheons and
dinners couple it with smoking Gig
arettes and playing games of chance
for money.
1.-The women of sthe middle classes
In America drink beer, but not to ex.
cess, as a rule. 1t is a custom to
have beer with dinners, and if the
stuff were pure the harm would be less
than It is.
But tobacco is doing just as much
harm as alcohol, for the two go to-
gether. And I know that too much
tobacco leads to too much alcohol,
because the tobacco habit depresses
the nerve centers and causes a de-
mand in the system for an antidote.
and the antidote for tobacco poison is
whisky -tc,
Il can safely say that rs per cent.
OF the drink trouble among men. and
women, too. Is due to tobacco. Where
women are not SO particular about
concealing the fact that they drink
they are careful to conceal the fact
that they smoke
II know that many raise the ques-
ton as to whether a woman hasn't as
much right to smoke as man. 1t
doesn't turn on the question of moral
right The answer turns on the ef-
feet smoking has on the woman's char
acter. 1t destroys womanliness.

Great Chance for This Judges wife.

AA CaA 0tO&i(C tNA AaseS SSSS@ y ~ 49,
A New York court has established
q ruling that no woman's dress car
ries a money value after it has been
worn ten times. The decision was
made in fire insurance suit whereby
the plaintiff sought to recover the full
value of clothing destroyed. In adj
hitting that the clothing had been
worn more than ten times the plain
tiff lost her case, for the court gave
her but trifing sum.
Whew! What an opportunity for
that judges wife! She might hang a
tally sheet by her wardrobe door with
the record of every wearing of every
garment. "Ten times and out" might
become her slogan. If she chose, she
could have a new dress or two or
three new dresses every ten days
according to the number of times she
wishes to change her clothes in a
days time. Perhaps at the end of a
month the judge might come to the
conclusion that after all dress has
some money value after It has been
worn ten times.
