And it is going to be merry old
trial, that viii echo in every corner
of America. Both sides are going to
fight it to a finish, and both appear
confident.
Col. Roosevelt himself is expected
to arrive Monday and direct the bat
tie. He is determined to crush, once
for all, the rumor whispered against
him often, but never, perhaps, blurted
out so boldly as in Newett's paper.
He has retained Attorneys James H.
Pound of Detroit and W. S. Hill of
Marquette, and viii probably bring
legal reinforcements from New York.
The colonel will also have spec
tacular array of witnesses. There is
talk of a special car full of Hotables.
Marquette expects Clifford Pinchot,
Gen. Leonard Wood, Surgeon Cen
eral Rixey of the United States Navy,
Albert Shaw, editor of the Review of
Reviews, Lyman Abbott, editor of the
Outlook, and others Of national fame,
who will presumably testify to Roose-
Velt's sobriety. And there viii be a
bale of dispositions of the same tenor.
In the matter of dispositions, Edi-
tor Newett is on the job, too. He has
just been out west gathering a lot Of
them. And his lawyers, W. P. Belden
of Ishpeming, and Horace Andrews of
Cleveland, have been very busy in the
East and the Middle West taking
down the testimony of volunteer de-
posers, who are said to agree with
Newett's estimate of the colonel.
The dispositions will make enter
tanning reading for the American peo-
pie. And for that reason, Judge Rich
ard C. Flanagan, the prinn, scholarly
Republican justice who will hear the
case, is keeping them sealed for the
present. He doesn't want any possible
Juror to know what's in them before
hand.

After draining the water from boiled
potatoes, put a clean dry cloth ovel
