PLEADS WITH NEW
ENGLAND TO LEAD
ROOSEVELT SEEKS
SUPPORT FOR PARTY
Declares in Opening Address of His
Campaign That People Have Moth
ing 60 Hope for From Old Parties.
Bosses i'm Each He Says.

Providence, r l., Aug. 1T.-An ap-
peal for leadership from New Eng
land in the movement of the new
progressive party was made here
last night by Colonel Roosevelt in his
first speech since his nomination in
Chicago.
He declared that the ordinary voter
had nothing to hope for through the
success of either the democratic or
republican parties, which, he assert
ed are equally boss-riden. The tariff,
especially as it concerned the New
England states, was one of the main
topics of the speaker, who said in
part:
Il take peculiar pleasure in max
lng my first speech as nominee OF
the progressive party here in Rhode
Island. You have suffered, as in my
own state of New York we have suf-
fered. from boss politics in the most
extreme form of development. The
progressive movement is aimed at
the rotten machines, the rotten boss
systems Of both parties. Only by
supporting the progressive party can
YOU strike an effective blow against
the boss ridden and machine and ring
politics in the United States
"The success of the democratic ma
ticnal ticket means enthroning IN
power one set of bosses, the success
of the republican national ticket
means enthroning in power the other
set of bosses. The effort at this time
to rebuke one set Of bosses by voting
for the candidate of the other set Of
bosses is from its very nature bound
20 result in futility."

PHILADELPHIA HOMES
DISRUPTED AND CITY
DIVIDED BY LOBSTER
Riots in saloons and Arrests Follow
Controversy That Paffles Solution
Even i'm Courts.

Philadelphia, Pa.--1his city is agi-
tated as never before over a question
which battles solution. Wherever one
goes it is being discussed. Arguments
have arisen, fights have followed and
arrests resulted. Homes have become
disrupted and the whole city is prac-
tically divided into two factions over
the controversy. At the present rate
the problem probably will reach the
supreme court of the United States
before the end of The year and be-
come a national question.
The question is: What is a lob
ster?"
IT was harded up to higher court
here by police magistrate after he
had spent a week in conferring with
the leading lobster authorities all over
| the country.
| The case is that of John Haudocaur,
a chef in a local hotel. who was
arrested on a charge of cruelty to
animals for placing wooden peg IN
the first Joint back of the claw OF
a lobster to prevent it from swapping.
The lobster was on exhibition in the

seen by member of the women's S
branch of the Pennsylvania Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The case was argued before Police
Magistrate Haggerty by two lawyers,
an amateur fisherman from Maine, a
member of the cruelty society and
the proprietor of the hotel. The fish
erman declared that he was well
acquainted with Holsters and that he
never knew one that lived in salt wa
ter that could feel pain. The attor-
ney for the society then pleaded that
all animals experienced pain and that
the chef was guilty of cruelty.
The defense argued that the charge
fell because the lobster is not an ami
NAL. Then the same argument that
caused the adjournment of court a
week ago arose and the magistrate
threw his hands up in despair.
IT'S too much for me-" he said'

ana let the court decide the matter.
When the action of the court was
announced several fights occurred in
various saloons where wagers had
been placed on the outcome of the
case. In the meantime the defense
is planning to make a bitter fight
and to carry the case up as high as
it will go. provided judgment is
rendered against the chef

In this day of the reign of the alalm
clock, when not greed for gain but
fear of starvation drives men from
their homes to their work before the
day is due. dlags women from their
beds an hour earlier to prepare the
hasty meal, snatches children from
sleep and sends them to the mill. the
mine or the shop-in this age when
homes are desolated by wars, disease,
poverty and crime, it seems cruelty
ridiculous for working man or wom-
an to object to Socialism on the
ground that 1t will beak up the home.
Yet this argument is still repeated
parrot-lke by many for whom home
has long been but mockery, q vain
hope or cherished ideal and others
who await the call of the rent collector
with shuddering dread.
A few days ago, railroad man was
heard to make this statement: 1.-The
only objection / have to Socialism is
that it will break up the home, de-
stroy the family, and send the child
rem away from their parents to be ed
ucated and cared for by the commun-
ity." Inquiry concerning the home
life OF this man revealed the fact that
for the greater Part of his life he has
been employed by the Wells Fargo Ex-
press company and that for 20 years
he has not had vacation. His work
takes him from home on a thousand
mile journey twice each week. and
during the time he is at home his need
for sleep makes conscious enjoyment
of his home life impossible.
1t might be asked how much Social
ism could contribute toward the break
ing up of this home. And even if the
charge were true that under Socialism
children would belong to society,
might not this be better than the
present order, by which thousands of
children are denied both care and ed
ucationT
Would the possibility Of few hours
daily companionship of wife and fami-
ly tend toward the destruction of the
home. or would not Socialism make
possible for the first time in the his
tory of the world, the enjoyment of all
that makes for home and home life7
