Tangible Results to Pass.

Branding Roosevelt as modern
political Caesar, declaring his candi-
dacy strikes a harder blow at pro-

Tammany chiefrain to the presidency,
and predicting that his following will
dissolve like fading light of shat

fired the opening gun of the

county when he took the plat
form at the Freewater peach day
festival to oppose viii NJ. Peterson and
Fred w. Mulkey, democratic and
"Bu.l Moose" champions, respectively.
Though he recently reclared himself
a supporter of Taft, Judge Loyell did
not dwell upon the virtues of the
president, but contented himself with
an attack upon Roosevelt and an ap-
peal to the republicans to stand by
their party in which, he said, lies the

The Judges Speech.
In substance. Judge Lowell said:
"The supreme issue of this cam
paign is not found in the platforms
promulgated by the several parties
II Is higher, broader and more far
reaching than any or all the planks OF
those elusive documents. The real
problem which must be solved Is
whether this government shall con-
tinue government of the people,
Theodore Roosevelt's triumph would
assuredly mean ultimate monarchy,
and as men finally realize this truth,
and they will realize it as election day
approaches his following will dis
solve as the fading light of shat
tered rainbow.
Thinking men are now measuring
the man in the dim light of history
They will pore over the story OF
Greece. of Rome, of Holland, OF
France, of Mexico, and recall the IN
cidious means by which popular gov
ernments have been assassinated In
the past: and this spector of the third
term and imperialism will shadow eV-
cry home in the land until before the
ides Of November. American manhood
will assert itself, and defeat will meet
our Caesar at the polls, such a defeat
as will end his overmastering am
bition, and stand as a warning to his
successors
ROoscvclt's One Excuse.
"The burden of the Roosevelt argu'
ment, the one excuse for his candi'

Some ten years ago." continued Mr..
Sizer. there were scarcely more than q
dozen canoes scattered here and there
along the river and most Of them be-
longed to members OF the Potomac and
the Analostan boat clubs. And it was
only by a struggle that interest In canoe
ing was kept alive, for those interested
in rowboats and other crafts were
somewhat prejudiced against canoes.
Rivalry between the several boat clubs
that then existed was quite an obstacle
to the establishment of canoeing as a
popular sport, for the few scattered
canoeists had little opportunity to COM
bine their efforts.
An interclub canoe association was then
founded and the membership consisted Of
men from the several boat clubs and in
dfvidual canoeists. Camping parties and

Another feature Of the association is
the annual encampment that lasts for two
or three weeks. Many OF the members
spend their summer vacation in this way.
The camp is generally pitched on the
Virginia side about q mile and q half
above the Aqueduct bridge. making 1t
easy of access from the city. Several OF
the members whose office duties call them
in the daytime, spend their evenings at
the camp and sleep at night under the
tents or in the rough log cabins that are
scattered throughout those woods.
i
'tOne privilege that belongs to q men,
Der Of the association" said Mr.. Sizer,
lis in connection with the waybills is
sued by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company. No canoe or other craft is
permitted to pass on the canal except on
the authority Of proper waybill. This
paper is only obtained at the Office in
Georgetown and thus canoeist must
necessarily secure his way bill before
starting out
"Quite frequently q canoeist travels
up the Potomac and then decides that
he would prefer making his way up
the canal in q mildeY current. This
means that he must first go all the
way back to Georgetown and there OBJ
tain his waybill. But each member
OF the association is provided with a
membership card: upon presentation Of
this at Wil1ard's lock-the first above
Georgetown-he is provided with a
waybill. This waybill isn't paid for
at the time it is received, but q record
is kept Of 1t and 1t is payable to the
financial secretary OF the association.
The charges are about half the regular
price of waybiIl and the member is
saved the annoyance of always oh
tanning his waybin before he starts
on his expedition. In this way $200
