DOCK WORKERS STRIKE GROWS
Labor Leaders Plan to Call Out
100000 Men.

London, July 25.-Labor leaders at the
head OF the dock-workers' strike here
to-day took steps to make the strike Of
national proportions, and to carry on the
war against the shipowners in every
important port in the United Kingdom
They plan to call out 300 900 men. The
authorities are alarmed over the situa-
ton. following the rioting Of yesterday,
and the bitterly hostile attitude of the
thousands OF strikers and their sympa-
thlzers toward the police. whom they de-
clare to be open allies of the vessel own
ers. Thousands OF extra police were held
In reserve for riot duty to-day. and the
guards were doubled around all OF the
docks on which strike-breakers are at
work.
Special police guards to-day were placed
about the residences OF all the cabinet
ministers, and around the home Of Lord
pevonport. whom the strikers view as
their bitterest enemy among the en-
ployers.

TAFT WORKS ON SPEECH.
Puts in Fourth Day Preparing Ac
ccptance Reply.

President Taft yesterday spent the
fourth whole day Of this week, except

pairing his speech OF acceptance. to be

cans from all over the country are be-

ton. He had with him at dinner Carml

who succeeds Mr.. Thompson as Assistant

erty, and William Miller, State leaders

the President does not assume the posi-
sition of debating the appointment, but
that he was willing to take under con-
sideration the man likely to be named.

Penny-wise, Pound-foolish.

The attitude of the present Demo
cratic House majority as to the naval
and military policy has been nothing II
not react onary. This has been illus
trated by so conspicuous an act as the
hating of the naval building pro-
gramme This refusal has awakened
the interest of the whole nation The
navy not only is an object OF pic
.turesque patriotic pride, il is the first
line of our defense. No one believes
that In case of an emergency we could
man and arm a few passenger or
freight vessels and call it navy"
though there are many among US who
delude themselves with the belief that,
if we are precipitated into war, we
can make an army out of mass OF
patriotic civilians before the enemy
could land on our shores.
The navy, according to these wise
acres, is for the purpose of keeping
off invaders so that an army will not
be necessary. This is nonsensel The
navy might delay invasion and make it
very costly. But that it is large enough
to patrol our whole coast and to
sweep both oceans for a length of time
no sensible American will believe.
But the navy is our first line of de-
fense, and a great deal depends upon
its efficiency. We are not prepared
for war. The neglect of Our military
establishment makes it especially i'm
perative that invasion be delayed and
made as difficult as possible, and this
knowledge on the part of the American
people supports the Republican policy
for a greater navy and their protest
against the folly of the Clark Under
wood penny-wise but pound-foolish
policy.
The refusal to build the two battle
ships asked for in the budget is not ex-
cusable. Such false economy will leave
the United States seriously at a dis
advantage in the development of first
power navies.
Insurance against war never is too
heavy. The reduction of our navy is
not what the people demand. Even
the Baltimore platform recognized this.
1t were well for the k-Underwood
machine in Congress to uphold that
pledge.

WHY DIR. WILEY IS FOR WILSON

My appeal is chiefly to those who,
like myself, have been lifelong re-
pubiicans. I believe that no kind of
an administration is ging to ruin
the country. have a high personal
regard for each one of the candidates
for president and vice president on
all Of the tickets. All the political
platforms are mainly sound and all
promise effort in behalf of the whole
people. My choice is not based on
a platform. 1t vas determined by
my impression of the real attitude OF
the candidates respecting the public
welfare. We are creatures of hered-
ity and environment. In III atti-
tude towards great public questions
We are almost altogether creatures
of environment.
What two men are by environment
least likely to be guided by devotion
to public welfare. Two of the can
didates have already been tried in

THEY WERE "PRACTICALn MEN.

When the late E. r.. Hartman, at
the request of Theodore Roosevelt
raised a fund of $4,000 to aid in
the l|atter's election in 1904, (Which
money he said changed $4,000 votes
in New York city ~alone), he was pay
ing not only for favors past and ia
vors anticipated, but also for favors
which were then being bestowed
An evidence of these favors has
been brought to light in a recent in
quiry which has been made into the
matter of the Southern and Union
Pacific coal cases in Wyoming, which
transactions not only seriously in
volve the third term candidate for
president, but also, in a very direct
connection, implicate his former sec
rotary of the interior, James r. Gar
field, who is now one Of his foremost
supporters.
Inc ueIdllS Vi the "TdnSdCIlOH
whereby the Hartman lines sought
to obtain permanent possession of
thousands of acres of immensely val
liable coal lands near Evanston,
Wyoming, aided and abetted by Mr..
Garfield, as secretary of the interior,

Alaska, on accoun of which Secre-
tary Ballinger was forced to leave
the cabinet, to pale into insignifi-
canoe. During practically the entire
time that Theodore Roosevelt occu-
pied the White House, the Union Pa
cific railroad and its subsidiary coal
companies, were allowed to retain
possession of more than $500 acres
of coal lands obtained by the most
fragrant frauds and to take out i'm
mense volumes of coal.-Frank b.

PROGRESSIVE ONLY
WHEN HE TALKS

In the issue of La Follette's Maya
zine of July Is, 1912, there appeared
the following:
Mr.. Roosevelt appeals to progress
sives to join his party. Roosevelts
whole record demonstrates that he
has no constructive power; that he
is progressive only in words; that
he is ever ready to compromise in or
der to win, regardless of platform
promises or progressive principles
He will not last. In the end the peo-
pie of this country will get his rue
measure. No party was ever success
fully organized about a man. Prin-
ciples and issues must constitute the
basis of any great movement.
