these sound and lofty principles into
governmental practice" as,-1 -
Col. Roosevelt came here to sneak
in support of the candidacy of Dean
Lewis for governor and of Clifford
Plnchot for United States Senator.
Iheir qualifications he touched upon
at the opening of his speech. There
after he confined himself to the ma
tional issue outlined.
Coins New Phrase.
Colonel Roosevelt coined a new
phrase in last nights speech. 1t was
what he called government by con-
vulsion." BY this he said he meant
the passing back and forth of power
between the republican and demo-
cratic parties which, he said, would
happen unless the people entrusted
the power to the progressive party.
Inc former presidents speech was
regarded by progressive leaders here
as an indication of the line of attack
which the party would follow in this
years campaign. 1t was an uncom-
promising speech. Before he made
the speech the report had gone out
mat he would hold out the olive
branch to the republican party. but
there was no hint of such a thing in
ms remarks. He appealed to indiyi-
dual republicans to support the pro-
gressiye ticket, but suggested no
dealings with the republican party
as an organization. He denounced
the republican leaders, who he said
nad misrepresented the people. He
attacked Senator Penrose unsparing-
Penrose is Denounced.
Let him go in sack cloth and
ashes" he said, because it was ow-
ing to him and his associates that the
democratic party now has power to
DO wrong. No more scandalous an
peal could be made than to return
MIN to power to right the wrongs for
which he is primarily responsible. :"

Should Prevent Blind Voting.

There can be no subiec; OF more
interest to the voters in the State o.
Missouri this November than the argu-
ments for and against the thirteen
proposed Constitutional amendments.
These amendments propose striking
changes in the organic law Of the
State: In the heat OF State wide
campaign these issues are often los:
sight Of by party speakers and are
obscured by the personalities o: can
did4tes and by national issues.
Because of the importance @; these
amendments and the necessity Of
voters being informed upon them.
The Republic takes pleasure in COM
mending the educational campaign
inaugura,ed in regard TO these
amendments by Secretary of State
Cornelius Reach. In series OF
thirteen statements issued TO the
press Of the State, Secretary Roach
presents the substance Of each
amendment, with the arguments for
and against its adoption.
They are being widely published,
and there is no voter in Missouri who
will not have a chance to make
up his mind as to the virtues or the
evils Of the thirteen proposed changes
in Missouri organic law. This action
by Secretary Of State SHOULD prove a,
blind voting for or against the amend
ments as a whole. St Louis Repub-

BRITISH FORCES
LANDED IN FRANCE
WITHOUT M|SHAP
Announcement of Soldiers Arrival
Given After Two Weeks
of Silence

London, Aug. II, Midnight, Delay
ed by Censor) The most important
revelation of the day has been that
of the landing of British expedition
airy army on the shores of France.
Everybody in England has known for
two weeks that a large army was
crossing the channel The troops had
been assembled at different bases,
one of the largest contingents en-
barking at Dublin, Ireland. Many 9TH
er regiments sailed from Liverpool
while still others took ship at East
bourne, Southampton and other ports
along the coast of the English chan
mel.
The great canvass camps at the
military stations in England we're
struck only when it was known def
nitely that the fiotilla of transports
conveying the troops had finished the
oversee movement under the escort of
strong squadrons of warships.
The ~ansportation of the soldiers
lasted several days and during that
time not a mention of the expedition
was permitted to the newspapers here,
Even now the strength of the expedi-
tion, the names of the regiments com
coming the contingent and the ports
where they landed are not allowed to
be made public.
Two Armies Meet
1t is known, however, that a large
proportion of the best troops of the
British regular army are now on con-
tinental soil The reception of the
British soldiers everywhere in France
was enthusiastic. The officers and men
of the two armies fraternized warm
ly.
1t is pointed out in authoritative
circles here that the withdrawal of the
Belgian government from Brussels to
Antwerp may mean that the fighting
in Belgium is drawing closer to the
capital or 1t may be merely a precau-
tionary measure.
&ow that the. three allied armies
are working together on a coherent
campaign scheme. the policy of sec
rcy has been extended to Belgium and
as fountain of picturesque news that
country has suddenly dried up.
The allied armies have decided for
the present to bar all war correspon-
dents from accompanying the armies
but 1T is thought the ban may be
raised later when the militay opera
tions are we'll under way
The official news bureau saws not
single casualty occurred during the
embarktion, transportation and de-
barkation of the men and stores of the
British expeditionary force and every
thing was carried through with the
greatest precision.

TRAMPS BIG BOTHER;
KEEP POLICE BUSY
War Being Waged on Hoboes by
P. R. R. Officers Along
the Main Line

Hoboes are giving Pennsylvania Rail-
road police mucn troupie. Every effort
made during the past two weeks to
drive them from railroad trains and
property has brought an assault on the
officers.
orders were given recently to elimi-
entirely. With this end in view rail-
road officers have been driving the
tramps from their camping places
along the main line of the Pennsylva-
have stoned the officers.
Between Harrisburg and Lancaster,
Captain Barclays forces have cleaned
up hoboe haunts near Middletown and
in the vicinity of Conewago. Along the
Middle Division railroad officers have
been exceptionally, busy. Al. Rockville.
Marysville, Mifiin, Lewistown and
other points, raids have been made two
and three times each week.
In the opinion of the heads of the
Pennsylvania Railroad police depart
ments, the magistrates are not severe
enough in their sentences. 1t is also
said that riding trains is not the only
trouble caused by hoboes. At a num-
Der of places where tramps have made
their headquarters, fires have proved
their camp fires burning, a strong wind
fans the flames and starts a blaze
which often spreads to piles of ties, and
70 othe railroad property, resulting in
much q mage.
In the opinion of Captain Barclay. of
Iue fnllduelpn1a DIVISION police, the
workhouse is the Only remedy to wipe
out the tramp nuisance.
Fruit Trains Heavy.-Commenc
last night fruit shipments showed a
large increase. Instead of shipping
peaches and other Southern fruits by
express as heretofore trainloads are
now hauled North and West. Thus
far the shipments have varied from
twelve to- fourteen cars per day. Last
night train of twenty cars
passed through from Baltimore to
points North. Local shipments of
fruit have been large. Peaches, can
taloupes, tomatoes. corn and other
produce is arriving daily. Large
shipments have been made from York
county of the early crop of peaches.
The shipments from Hagerstown and
vicinity will start next week.
Fewer Dispatchers and Telegraph
ers.-With the near approach of the
completion of the automatic signal
system on the main line of the Penn
sylvanfa Railroad comes a revival of
the reports regarding the elimination
of dispatchers and telegraphers. As
has been stated number of times,
several signal towers will be put out
of business by the introduction of
the new signals. As yet no plans
have been dcided upon as to the
placing of the men woh will be out of
jobs. Some will be assigned to signal
duties. Others will be needed else
where. Positions will b provided for
as many as possible.
More Retrenchment Probable. -
Reports from Altoona, relative to fur
them retrenchments on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, reached Harrisburg

Anticipating considerable difficulty
in enforcing the traffic ordinance
which passed first reading in councils
last meeting without the motorcycle
cop Which council refused to give
him, Burgess Fred Wigfield is plan
ming to have the borough's police
force given lessons in judging the
speed of an automobile in a crowded
street.
II know it is almost impossible for
a patrolman to judge the speed of a
moving automobile with sufficient de-
gree of accuracy to enable conviction
of violators of the traffic ordinance"
said the burgess this morning, so 1
am arranging to have some careful
driver give the cops a demonstration
of the various speeds"
The plan is to have the cops sta
toned at their regular places and have
an automobile run past them at the
this way a policeman may judge the
takes to pass over the block which he
patrols.

Chief John E. Shupp, Jr.. and many
