ROOSEVELT IN 1916

Platform, Is Prediction

Throughout the country-Demo-
cratic Policies Seem Unlikely

Colonel Roosevelt will lead the Pro
gressiye party in 1916. and will come
near winning, In the opinion of former
Governor Walter r. Stubs of Kansas,
one Of the stanchest of the colonel's
supporters last year.
There Is only one man thought OF
by Progressives for the presidential
nomination" said Governor Stubs.
Colonel Roosevelt will be nominated
by reclamation, believe, and II the
Democrats do not make good l am of
the opinion the colonel will be elected.
Certain 1t is that Roosevelt will be
the man the Democrats will have to
beat in 1916.
THE Progressive movement ia
sweeping over the country. 1t is
stronger today than ever, and Colonel
Roosevelt is more popular with the
people everywhere than ever before.
The attempt to besmirch his moral
character has only strengthened him
with the masses. In Kansas the Pro-
gressives are gaining all the time.
The party is well organized, and we

county office and in every congress
sional district.
In my view the congressional cleo
tions next year will not have great
significance, and the Progressive
party may not appear to have the
strength 1t will develop in that ma
tional campaign, with Colonel Roose-
welt to lead.
THE Progressive party is not
party of high protection like the Re-
publican party. We do not believe
in protection that will create and
and foster monopolies, but in tariff
that will afford a sufficient degree
of protection to enable big business
to live. and at the same time prevent
INSCRIPTIONS monopolies and trusts.
In my opinion the Progressive plat
form was the best platform ever writ
ten by a political party"

The private secretary OF the maha-
rajah of Jhalawar recently gave a
lecture on food in London, in the
course of which he stated that the
eating of onions is conducive to
darkness of spirit" He also averred
that the caste system in India is
largely regulated by diet. Thus,
those of the highest caste only eat
vegetarian meals in order to keep
their souls pure. Members of an
other caste are allowed to eat meat

Under different party names they are

But there can be no permanent al

BLIGHTED WOOD IS
USEFUL, HE SAYS
Timber FelIed by Disease or
Axe Equally Good, Reports
State Forester.
lFrom a stan oorrespondent.I

TRENTON, N. J., April 16.-For-
esters representing the United States
forest service, the States of Connec-
ticut. New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina. Pennsylvania, Virginia and
West Virginia, discussed at the state
House this week the effect of the
chestnut blight upon the quality of
chestnut wood and the means of util-
izing blight killed timber. AS the re-
suit of the conference State Forester
Gaskill today issued this statement:
"Regarding the effect of the blight
upon the wood, the evidence is con-
elusive that the disease simply Kills
a tree as 1t may be killed by felllng'
by girdling or by fire. Consequently
there need be no discrimination
against blight killed timber by users
of chestnut wood in any of its forms.
1t is the practise of most buyers OF
poles. ties and lumber to disregard
the action of the blight. OF course,
the condition of the timber with
respect to decay and insect working
is considered, as 1t always has been
and should be. 1t is important TO
observe however, that 10 wooc az
fected by the disease should be
shipped to territory where the dis
ease is not yet found, as germs can
easily be transported in the bark.
"The markets for chestnut wood
in the parts of the country now DOM
mated by the bark disease are still
good. and no material falling off in
the prices is reported. This applies
to all forms except cord wood, and
the conference was obliged to admit
that there was thus far no present
hope of finding any practicable means
of utilizing the tops and small mate
rial from chestnut feelings.
"All the State foresters concerned
are consulting with and advising
property owners regarding the dispo-
sition of the material that must be
disposed of, and will continue to seek
outlets for all classes of material.
Further studies are to be made con-
corning the character and effect of
the bark disease, but 1t is the unani-
nous opinion Of all concerned that
when a chestnut tree is seriously dis
eased it should be cut down and it's
wood utilized without delay. Where
heavy feelings are necessitated the
planting of evergreens in the place
Of the removed chestnuts is recon-
mended."

YICE-PRESIDENT ASKS
BUSINESS CONSCIENCE
Amplification of MarshalFs
Warning to Rich.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Ampli-
flying his speech Of Saturday night
before the National Democratic Club,
in New York city, in which he served
warning on the rich, Vice-President
Marshall today authorized in a local
paper the publication of a remarkable
application of that address. Prin-
cipally he urged the injection of
conscience into "big business" as an
antidote for Socialism. He also re-
iterates his argument against the
perpetuation of great fortunes.
The Vice President insisted he was
not expressing his personal opinions
alone, but that he was guided by
those expressed to him "by many
honest financiers, lawyers, miners
and ditch dlggers, men he had met
in the street, on trains and trolley
cars, and in their homes"
Men are asking" he said, "wheth-
er there is any difference between
the manufacturer who comes to the
government to ask for help in his
business and the poor man who goes
to the workhouse to ask for help.
MEN of Judgment have expressed
to me the opinion that if vote were
taken on a proposition to make all
estates over the sum of 100000 revert
to the State upon the death of the
owner-the 100000 being exempted
1t would be carried 2 to l."
Mr.. Marshall argued that further
laws were not necessary for the
regulation of great fortunes or of
concentrated wealth. He held that
the solution lay in the awakening
of business men to their responsible
ties to the community at large.
The Vide President declared that
many men of wealth had written to
him commencing his New York
speech.
