Any Sign of Roosevelt Demonstration Will Be

Colonel Says He Only Expected Two Delegates From Alabama, So He Is Not Much Disappointed

DIXON GROWS BITTER

Chicago, June 7.-Senator Dixon. at the Roosevelt headquarters, is- sued a statement tonight excoriat- ing members of the national com mittee.
 Until the roll was called on the Ninth Alabama district" says the statement, T was not prepared to believe that a majority of the na- tional committee was prepared de liberately to murder the republican party.
 The nation might as well know the truth. Three minutes before the roll was called on this contest, Senator Murray Crane of Massachu- setts walked over to AIr. Steven son of Colorado, who holds the proxy of Senator Scott of West Vir- ginia. and said to him:
 !" We simply cannot afford to go on record in this case against seat ing the Roosevelt delegates, the case is so plain the country will not stand for it.
 Mir. Stephenson replied. We have to do it. Of course, there is no justification in fact. but if once we establish a precedent we will have to yield in other cases.

I now deliberately charge that a ma jority of the national committee in violation of their sacred trust as trustees of the republican party. in fear and hatred of Theodore Roose- welt have entered into an agree ment among themselves to unseat all and every Roosevelt delegate regardless of right.

 Mir. Stevenson denied absolutely the conversation attributed to him and W. Murray Crane anent the Ninth Alabama delegation, and said he would demand that it be made right tomorrow.

Grant War Appropriation

Havana, June 7.-The house of rep resentatives this afternoon ratified the action of the senate of Tuesday au- thorizing President Gomez to spend $1.- oO0. GOO to cover the extraordinary mil itary preparations. but there was no further action by either branch of con gress in the line of granting a further credit despite the intinnation in the presidents proclamation Thursday night that he expected an additional appropriation.
 Publication by the afternoon papers of dispatches stating that the Amer ican war department might send an expedition of 5000 troops to the prov ince of Oriente created a profound pop ular sensation. the general impression heing that such a movement was in- dicative of active intervention. Pres ident Gomez tonight declined to com ment on this phase of the situation on the ground that he had not yet re- ceived official notification of the inten-

ARMY PREPARES ID TAKE HAND IN CUBA; EVERYTHING READY All Needed to Send Troops to Cuba Is Single
 Order
ONE STEP MORE AND
 THF.s INTERVENTION
y sal Steps Have Been Taken and Only Taft's Proclamation Is Needed-Cuba Has Been
 Warned Twice

Washington. June 7.-The army today took steps to share with the navy in the American demonstration in Cuba.
 Early in the day the general staff gave d preliminary test to the machine 1t has constructed when 1t issued orders to the quartermaster general to put in readiness for Cuban service the four big army transports at Newport News, and at the same time notified the proper military off cers at the various army posts where are located the organizations which go to make up the .'expeditionary force to have the men ready to entrain at a moments notice. Within six hours word came from Quartermaster General Ale shire that the big transports had been put in commission with full supplies and coal and augmented crews, and were ready to sail the moment the troops were placed aboard.
 Order Not Given
 The order for the transports to sail or for the troops to entrain was not given and it was said at the state department that that word would not be given until the marine forces already landed and now being distributed among the threat ened plantations in eastern Cuba proved insufficient. or that conditions on the is- land as a whole had assumed such a phase as to demand political interven- tion.
 Intervention, if determined upon, must follow in a regular way, if the govern ment of the United States decides to fol- low the injunction laid by the judge ad- vocate general of the army. Some of the requisite steps already have been taken. January 16 last Secretary Knox served netive upon the Cuban government that the President of the United states looked to 1t ito prevent threatened situation, which would compel the government of the United States. much against it's de- sires, to consider what measures it must take in pursuance of the obligations of It's relations to Cuba

Second Warning

Yesterday the following significant tel
 egram was sent to the American legation
 in Havana for presentation to the Cuban
 governments:
 Under the exigencies of the situation arising out of the failure of the Cuban authorities to take effective action for the protection of American life and property, the commandant at Guam tanamo navel station has been com pelled to land four companies of ma rines. This action has been taken as
 measure of protection only, and not for the purpose of putting down the in- surrection, which is clearly the duty of Cuba Four large war vessels will forthwith be sent from Key West to Guantanamo to be in readiness in case the situation should unfortunately de- mand additional forces for the same purpose. It is hoped that these meas ures will al once awaken the Cuban
 government to the necessity of prompt ly and adequately meeting and dis charging it's duties and responsibili- ties and you will vigorously impress upon the president of Cuba that a con tinued failure on the part of his gov ernment adequately to protect life and property will inevitably compell this government to intervene in Cuba under
 and in response to it's treaty rights and obligations"
 The issue of a proclamation by Pres ident Taft is all now necessary to meet the legal requirements preliminary to intervention. Whether and when this last step shall be taken depends upon the ability of the Cuban government to deal with the insurrection. That government will be given a fair chance.

Americans Thank Beaupre

The manager of the Cuba Copper company's mines at Fl Cobre, Q miles west of Santiago telegraphed the American legation at Havana that 60 marines were landed there at I:30 o'clock last night, and thanked Minis ter Beaupre for his exertion in the companys behalf. The Ponupo Man ganese company also telegraphed thanking the minister and tating that marines were landed there at i2 o'clock last night. The Paducah, which per formed the service, is now at Santiago. Eighty-hve marines are embarking on the little Eagle for the protection of American life and property at siboney and Daiquiri
 There Is still no present intention of sending more battleships into Cuban water and the Annapolis nlsdshipmen. who have been assigned to the ships already ordered to Guantanamo will be conveyed there on the cruiser San Francisco, which will also carry the midshipmen intended for the third di- vision of the fleet now at Key West.
 Late today a message was sent to the commander at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, to have signal corps Com pany I in readiness for possible voyage to Cuba.
 Major General Wood, chief of stan. said that the places of embarkation for the "expeditionary force" if it. were dispatched to Cuba. would be New York, Savannah, Ga, and Tampa. Fla.

 This is supposed 10 be national con- vention, and not a prize ring and the dignity and good order Of it's proceedings will be enforced peaceabiy, we hope, but if anyone attempts to employ force of any kind he will find his methods will be re- sisted with sufficient vigor to make the outcome very different from what had been intended

MUSICAL CRITICISM.

The following is an excellent
criticism of the musical program in
the class night exercises which was
not published in the other reports
owing to lack of space:
The musical part of the class night
program at the High school was a
most creditable one. Creditable to
the performers themselves, to the
school, to the individual teachers, to
Miss Harriet Arnold in charge of
this department, and to Professor
Oday, who is ably aiding every effort
to promote this means of culture
among the young people OF our
town! In this connection, | would
like to say a word for Robert Dorm,
also, under whose most able leader
ship, the boys orchestra is fast lay
ing the foundations for future
achievement. The opening number
on the program, an instrumental
trio, Talk in New York" was
pleasingly and intelligently render
ed by Otto Heumann, violin, Carl
Weldner. cornet, and Elsie Heu-
mann, piano, in a noticeably good
tempo.
William Ref received much de-
served applause for his violin solo,
"CYardis,' by Michiels, in which he
displayed excellent tone and bow
ing, and he undoubtedly has a future
before him.
Miss Bessie Caufield, a member OF
the graduating class, appeared in a
Chopin Number, which she rendered
with all the charm of tone and
touch, which this wonderful COM
poser demands. Miss Caufield is
temperamentally an artist, capable
of reaching a high plane in her chos-
en- profession with a few years of
devoted study and mellowing.
OF Miss Arnold's work in the
High school too much cannot be
said The few selections rendered
by her pupils Monday evening were
in evidence of intelligent and artis-
tic training. A delightful tone quail
ity, excellent phrasing, and attack,
were particularly noticeable in the
quartette. BLOW Ye Gentle Breezes,"
by Marks.
The accompaniment for the quar-
tette and class songs were ably
played by Miss Elsa Jacobs.

THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY
(Mortimer Stocker.)

The spirit OF democracy is manifest
Old and effete monarchies are
crumbling to dust on every hand and
the people are asserting their god
given right to govern themselves.
This liberty loving spirit of indie
pendence has been fostered largely
by the United States of America,
which has been the great exemplar
OF popular government among the
nations of the world.
The first form of government
among men was patriarchal, wherein
the father ruled over his descend
ants. This grew into the tribal form
dominated by chieftain or leader
The union of tribes formed a nation
which was governed by bold gener-
al, especially in times of war, for
ignorance and turbulence which were
prevalent among such peoples re-
quired a strong hand to hold them in
check consequently the monarchy
resulted. AS the people advanced in
intelligence the spirit of liberty be-
gan to develop. We see evidences of
democracy among the Greeks, while
the world conquering Romans estab-
lished a republic which was main
tained for many years until an am
bilious general usurped the power
and transformed it into an empire.
When our forefathers issued that
famous manifesto known as the Dec
laration of Independence they had
but few models from history to
guide them. At that time the Swiss
had republic in the Alps and the
Dutch had experimental with a re-
publican form OF government in the
Netherlands.
The thirteen colonies which con-
stituted the republic at the time of
the Revolution had been settled by
refugees driven from the nations of
Europe by oppression. They were
among the most progressive and lib
erty loving people of those nations.
They were reduced to common
level by the same hardships and tolls.
Their struggle with nature and the
savages had made them courageous
and well fitted to establish a demo-
cracy, in which civil and religious
liberty were to be enjoyed by all. The
British statesmen of that period free
ly predicted that the government
would not last one hundred years.
But their predictions were false; in
stead of failure this furnished in
spiration and has been the greatest
enlightener of the world along the
lines of liberty.
Since our republic has been estab-
lished, Mexico and all South Amer
lea, excepting the Guianas, have
overthrown the monarchy and model
ed their constitutions after the con-
stitution of the United States. In
1870 France established it's third re-
public after the downfall OF Napol-
con III at Sedan. In more recent
years Portugal became a republic
after the revolt of the people and
ruin of the long-established kingdom
And last Of all, the ancient, unchang-
ed, oriental empire of China, the
Oldest and most conservative nation
on earth, with her four hundred mil

| lions of inhabitants, has been arous-
ed by missions and commercial inter-
course with other nations, until they
have cut off their cues, the badges
of servitude to the Manchu dynasty,
revolted and established a republic.
Fifty years ago the inhabitants of
republican territory numbered eigh-
ty-seven millions while now they
number seven hundred and twelve
millions. But the spirit of liberty
is not confined to republics alone.
If we consider the aim and essence
of popular government, the progress
is still more encouraging, for practi-
cally the whole habitable world has
within this time been brought under
a constitutional regime of some sort
Even Russia, Japan, Turkey and Per-
sia have their parliaments while
Siam and Abyssinia are no longer
pure autoCracies. In England and
America where the people enjoy the
most liberty, they are demanding
more privileges than ever before.
The House of Lords in England was
shorn of nearly all of it's power and
there are demands in America that
United States senators shall be elect
ed by a direct vote of the people,

didates in the presidential campaign
is, Let the people rule" The initia-
tive, referendum and recall, import
ed from the mountains of Switzer-
land and adopted in Oregon about
ten years ago, are fast becoming pop
ular in the United States.
The spirit of democracy is not con-
fined to forms of government alone,
but in their social and economic con-
ditions the common people are de-
manding more and more education
and opportunity. Our Christian civ
ilization is producing an equality
among the people who are demand
ing an equal opportunity in this
land and everywhere throughout the
world. At last we are beginning to
realize and heed the principles set
forth in the Declaration of Independ-
ence that all men are created free
and equal and that governmnts de-
rive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed

Large Supplies of Tetanus Antitoxin
Ordered.

To meet the Fourth of July de-
mands, large supplies of tatanus an
titoxin have been orderel for the
siXty-seven distributing stations
throughout the commonwealth, by
DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, Commissioner
of Health.
Despite the nationwide move
ment for "a Safe and Sane Fourth, I"
which has been steadily growing
during the last few years, the total
number of accidents resulting in the
dreaded tetanus or lock-jaw, is great
er on that day than any other in the
three hundred and sixty-fve.
The serum which the Department
of Health distributes to the poor is
used to immunize the victims of
fire-cracker, gun shot and other
wounds. When it is used immedi-
ately following the accident or
within twenty-four or even thirty
six hours thereafter, the danger of
infection is reduced to a minimum.
Hurry up, and bring in the flies
all you can find.
