ROOSEVELT Will
TAKE THE STUMP
ADMITS THAT HE MAY BE
FORCED TO A sIEECH-MAK-
ING CAMPAIGN.
He MAY START At Once
Urgencies of Ills Fight Make II Nee
essary for Quick Action, If He
Wants the Nomination.

OYSTER BAY, n. V, March g.
Roosevelt has about made up his mind
to take the stump and personally
make the fight in various parts of the
country for the presidential nomina-
tion, He said today he probably would
be forced to do so, although he has
been reluctant to decide upon such a
course.
Since the day Of Colonel Roosevelts
announcement that he was willing to
accept the nomination, he has been
urged by supporters in almost every
state except in the south to make a
speech making campaign. 1t has been
reported to him that in several states
the voters were in doubt and that if
would appear before them the result
might be materially affected. Gov
ernor Stubbs. OF Kansas. sent mes
sage yesterday urging the colonel to
make speeches i'm Kansas Michigan,
Illinois. Massachusetts, and other
states in which the Roosevelt leaders
believe there Is the best chance for
effective work.
VIII Start Soon.
Colonel Roosevelt said he would
not object TO making a few short
speeches, but that as soon as he ac-
cepted any invitations OF the sort he
probably would have others pressed
upon him and might find II difficult
to refuse. In addition to his sched-
uled speeches he has been obliged on
his trips in the past to talk from his
train to crowds at the railway stations
where every stop was made and he has
found the strain so severe that he hes
itates to undertake 1t again.
He said. however. II probably
would be necessary for him to do so.
II is likly he Will make his firt
speeches soon owing TO urgent re-
quests to act quickly which he has
received in the last few days.
Today the colonel took rest. His
services as Juror were not required.
az there was no session Of court and
he spent the day in riding horseback
and chopping down trees. He read

would reply to II later.

A Crystal Domlcile.

tTlStdi Doilltiit.
Before the arrival OF winter they
had 10000 kilos of seal meat in their
depot. enough for themselves and
their 10 dogs. Humane as brave
they first built eight dog houses, a
combination Of tents and snow huts.
Then having cared for their dogs.
they set about looking after them
selves FOR their little hut was almost
entirely covered by snow before the
middle Of April. First. they had to
get light and air Their Lux lamp,
which was 200 cande-power, gave
them brilliant light and kept up the
temperature In the hut to 6s degrees
Fahrenheit throughout the winter.
An excellent system OF ventilation
gave them all the air they needed.
Close to the hut and in direct COM
munlcation to It. were workshops.
packing rooms. cellars for provisions,
coal, wood and oil storehouses. a plain
bath and steam bath and observa-
torres, all dug out OF the Ice Of the
barrier. So In way they lived In
srystal domicle; they had everything
within doors and at hand. II the
weather was too cold or stormy for
them to go into the open.
Very Little Snow.
The sun left them on April IL and
for four months they were In the
dark. The winter was passed In
changing their entire outfit. for they
had found on making their trip estab-
| fishing the depots that the sledges
were too heavy and clumsy for the
barriers smooth surface. Besides
working on the ogtfit they did much
scientific work. for as good luck would
have It. there was very little snow.
Although open water was close by
their habitation all through the win
ter and for some reason the tempera-
lures were higher than Amubdsen
had expected, they remained very low.
during five months Amundsen OBJ
served temperatures ranging between
minus so and so Celsius. The lowest
temperature was on August 13--mi-
nus SO CELSIUS. The weather was then
calm.

SEATTLE'S LIBRARIES.

No public building in Richmond
compares with the Central Library
Building in Seattle in point Of beauty
and impressiveness. The building
covers a fun city block it has light
and air on all sides. its approaches
are splendid in their simplicity and
beauty. and. above all, the building
meets the needs of the people by put
ting books in the hands Of its citi-
zens When we consider how woeful-
~ lacking Richmond is in the matter
OF public libraries. and how direct ana
denonstrable the benefits Of reading
are. not only for the pleasure, but fer
the effectiveness of the citizens. It
seems hard TO explain or Justify the
DELAY that Richmond has shown in
taking up the question Of public H.
braries.
Abortive efforts have been made
time and again to give the citizens Of
Richmond that access to books which
is almost an inaienable right OF
modern democracy. And to the new
campaign to give Richmond 4 public

hearty good wishes and expresses the
hope that those public spirited citizens
who have interested themselves in the
welfare OF all may give Richmond
