The CoIonePs Coming Tour.

It is learned in Washington that
Colonel Roosevelt's plans for tour
OF several States in the interest Of the
third party are well matured and that
he purposes, almost as soon as he
returns from the South American
jungles, to plunge again into politics.
His first appearance is scheduled to
be in Maine, probably some time in
March. There will be Progressive
rally in that State and the Colonel
may make several speeches at
Augusta, Portland and elsewhere. No
Progressive in Washington doubts that
he will make a clean-cut fight to pre-
serve the autonomy and the existence
OF the party OF which he Is the ma
tional leader When the suggestion
Is made that Colonel Roosevelt may
incline toward an amalgamation OF
the Republican and Progressive par
ties they point to the pledge Of faith
which he made just before he sailed
for South America and declare there
is not the least doubt that he intends
to keep it.
From Maine Colonel Roosevelt Is
expected to 90 to Pennsylvania, where
his friend and ardent supporter, Gift
ford Pinchot, will run as the Progress
sive candidate for Senator. The
Pennsylvania fight will be at least
three-cornered. The Colonel will in
wade the Middle West, speaking in
both Ohio and Illinois, each of which
will choose a Senator by popular vote
this fall He is likely to 60 to Kan
sas for one or more speeches, where
Victor Murdoch, the Congressional
leader of the Progressive party, will
be running for Senator.-Brooklyn

A scalping knife, the property OF
Tecumseh, celebrated Shawnee In
dian chief who fell in the Battle of
the Thames, Canada, October 5, 1913,
has been loaned to the Wadsworth
Atheneum for exhibition by Rev. An
thon 7. Gesner, of the Berkeley Di-
vinity School at Middletown.
There is no reason to doubt the
knife belonged to Tecumseh, in the
opinion of Frank B. Gay, director of
the Wadsworth Atheneum, who re-
ceived the knife and will place 1t on
exhibition in a room at the north OF
the entrance to the Morgan Me-
mortal.
Mr.. Gay was busy this morning in
an endeavor to definitely establish the
history of the knife and find place
for it. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that the knife went to Governor Sam
uel Houston, of Texas, through his
interest in the Indians, and in view
of his having been an adopted son of
a Cherokee Indian, a tribe which took
part in some of Tecumseh's battles.
Inscribed on the card accompany
ing the scalping kn1fe were these
words: "Scalping knife of the cele-
brated Shawnee Indian, Chief Te-
cumseh, who fell in the Battle of
Thames River in an engagement with
General Harrison, October, 1873.
This knife was presented, together
with the tomahawk and tobacco
pouch of Tecumseh, by Governor
Houston of Texas to the noted artist
and miniature painter. Arson Dickfn-
son, up whose death in 1852 it
passed to his brother, Andrew Dick
inson, author and poet who gave it
to his grandson, Rev. Anthem T. Ges

THE ORGAN OF ALIEN INTERESTS.

The American people fully aware of the fact
that of the newspapers in the large cities and
more especially in New York under control of
powerful mercenary interests that alien to this
nation and hostile it's welfare These newspapers
not being American, have patriotism and their
sympathies are either with the foreign interests
camped in our large cities with predatory financial
or railroad groups Among these newspapers is the
New York World which was the most eager and
abusive advocate of the betrayal of the American
people by the enactment of the Panama tolls sur
render bill.
This paper is now used by alien financial sharps to
bolster up the Infamous treaty with Colombia. Mr.
Roosevelt who smashed railroad opposition to the
building of the Panama Canal and made that wonder
full national enterprise possible has told the nation
that Colombian treaty is national wrong and dis
honor He has pilloried the who negotiated it.
The alien interests concerned in this treaty now find
velt What these sinister influences cause the World
to say is of little moment but the publications are
intended to give members of the Senate some color
Of justification for support of the shameful treaty.

A FAuLrLEss FOURTH OF July.

Fourth of July celebration without an injury to
man woman or child reported is credit TO our city
and to its administration and this too was the record
last year And the change in the character of the cee-
bration has been effected in surprisingly brief time
1t is a radical change indeed
For years and up to three or four years ago, the
Fourth of July celebration in Newark in all other
cities was tragedy The celebration and the casual
ties began prior to Fourth and deaths from tetanus
due to fireworks followed after the celebration The
hospitals were overerowded and doctors and pharma-
cists we're kept busy ministering to the injured.
1t seems strange to us now, in the light OF the
celebration in the last years. that the community
and the city authorities should have consented year
after year to this awful sacrifice of life and limb 1t
was known before each Fourth of July celebration
that death and injury would result and that there
would be property loss from fire, and the hospitals
and fire department were held ready for the expected
emergency.
But the fatal experiences of the celebration had no
lesson for the public they repeated the next
year and the next and until the idea of Fourth
took hold and wrought this transformation. The
anniversary of the Declaration of Independence will
no longer be day of tragedy and day to be dreaded
and its celebration will for that be held with
greater fervency
Last Saturday was in every sense freless and
uoiseless Fourth of July

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Civil War Opinion of the Great Confederate Leaders

OF the great military leaders who
were in command of the armies of the
Confederacy there was none, not even
General Lee, around whom greater
interest. a sort of romantic interest,
centered in New York and in New
England than around General James
Longstreet. Not even did the daring
and dazzling exploits of Stonewall
Jackson so strongly identify any Con-
federate commander as did the re-
ports of the great achievements of
General Longstreet.
In this interest | shared in boyhood
days and l often hoped that 1t would
be my good fortune at some time to
see General Longstreet. The oppor-
tunity came in the spring of 1888.
General Longstreet had two years
earlier returned from Conetantinople,
having been appointed minister to
Turkey by President Hayes.
One of the early acts of President
James A. Garfield was the appoint
ment of General Longstreet as United
States marshal for the Georgia dis
trict, and it was an open secret at the
time that President Garfield made the
appointment that it gave him espe-
cial qualification to do that, since
Longstreet was Confederate COM
mander for whom General Garfield,
when he was himself in command In
Tennessee, entertained great admira-
ton and for whom he had later the
highest personal respect.
| was invited, while on visit to
Atlanta in the spring of 1888, to call
upon General Longstreet personal
friend of both of us having arranged
the interview.
/ was somewhat astonished when |
met General Longstreet. In the war
days what purported to be likenesses
of General Longstreet were frequent
lv nrinted in the illustrated papers
of the North, and I gained my inn
preston of his personal appearance
through these He was always pic
tured with a long, heavy beard, SO
heavy that it seemed to cover almost
all of his face excepting his nose,
eyes and forehead. But when / met
him there was nothing of that kind.

Nayy's Dining Cars

The navy department has been ex-
perimenting with the plan of operat-
ing it's own dining car service when
transporting drafts of men by rail,
and with such satisfactory results
that this plan will be followed here
after for large bodies of men and over
considerable distances, says Popular
Mechanics. 1t has been found that
the department can feed it's own men
better than was the case under the
old arrangement with the railroads,
and at considerably less cost. The
food is prepared in a tourist kitchen
car, which is simply regular tourist
sleeper with two sections removed
and a large coal range installed in
their place. The remainder of the
kitchen car is used as a sleeper.
A table is provided for each sleep
ing section on the train and the blue
jackets are fed in their own sections.
Between meals the tables are re-
moved or may be used by the men In
reading, writing or card playing.
With this arrangement the regular
seagoing routine can be followed.
When a meal is to be served, the
mess call is sounded by the bugler.
At $3.50 in the morning the reveille Is
sounded, while taps is sounded at 5
o'clock at night.

Our National Game

The hold which baseball has upon
the people of the United States in
creases from year to year. AS native
to our own land as the bison. it is as
Enthusiastically American as Uncle
Sam himself, and embodies in it's
psychology love of fair play, shrewd-
ness, ear seeing, hard hitting and
quick thinking A gradual develop
ment and improvement from much
less intricate game, baseball today is
reflective of our racial character. The
favor it has found abroad shows how
worldwide is its appeal.
1t is true professional baseball is
an exhibition, not a sport; it's patrons
are spectators. not participants. But
professional baseball is but a single
phase of the game Tt requires an
army of players. and these players
must come up from the ranks, from
the sand lots and Fairgrounds. from
the campus and the village green. So
it stimulates amateur baseball and
becomes a potent factor in the
physical development of thousands of
young citizens. Professional baseball
is the criterion, professional player
athletes are emulated, and as these
men of modern day baseball are clean
living, because, If for no other reason,
they have to be, they become ex-
amples for good.-Boston Transcript.

in color. His complexion was ruddy,

days he was of sallow complexion.
There was an unmistakable CLEAN of
intelligence the reflection of an acute
intellect, in his eyes and his smile

General Longstreet seemed TO be

certainly in New England, and very
likely in other parts of the North he
was esteemed greatly for his soldierly
achievements at the time of the civil
war, and that my recollection OF
those days embraced much that | had
heard said of him.
Finding that he was interested in
these references TO the war days,
ventured to tell him that General
Joseph F. Johnston had said to me a
year or two earlier at time when
he was member of Congress, that
he was convinced after Vicksourg
and Gettysburg that those battles had
determined the issue of the war, at
least from the military point of view,
and that General Johnston also said
that he believed that almost all of the
ADLER military leaders of the South
"I think General Johnston was well
within the truth when he made that
statement to YOU General Long

a military man, and from that point
of view Vicksburg--w opened the
Mississippi river to unrestricted Fed
eraI operations-and Gettysburg
which shattered the supreme agrees
sive movement of the Confederate
armies of the East, foreshadowed the
termination of the war from the point
of view of military science. After the
close of the war | am certain that
there was informal personal and al
most tacit agreement among the mill
tary leaders of the South that Vicks-
burg and Gettysburg marked the be-
ginning of the end. Yes, General
Johnston was right

bright and intelligent young business
man, very popular and viii be a vote
getter Why doesn't Jones tell us his
real reason for fighting Gaven?
While waiting for a train at tbeI

prominent New York lawyer asked
me if | had heard that Gaven had an
nounced himself as a candidate for
surrogate, and during our conversa-
tion stated that he liked Gaveh's
open and frank statement in asking
for support, and while this man
never voted in previous primaries he
intended to do 50 this year and to
work for Gaven's nomination. This
seems to be the sentiment here in
Montclair with regard to the surro-
gate race. -s-----
BY the way, why not nominate an
Eighth ward ticket" composed of
candidates from TayloT's own ward,
and be done with it? Look--Gray
for Congress. Taylor for surrogate,
Lutz for freeholder, Titus for Assem-
bly,, Soffel for supervisor. Hamburg
for mayor. They are shy on a candi-
date for sheriff; maybe they are
thinking of placing one in the 6aid.
That ward doesn't want much, does
it?
In any case, nominate an anti
Jones ticket and support it on electioH

Proper Color of Army Horses.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
The color line is being drawn by the
army in the purchase of horses. 1t
has not been drawn in favor of white
or light-colored horses, but against
them, and in favor of sorrels, browns,
bays and even blacks Because of
their visibility, white and gray horses
are not considered desirable for
mounts. In the field they are mark
for sharpshooters, and on this ac-
count the quartermaster corps has
stopped purchasing light-colored
horses. officers are permitted to pur-
chase gray horses if they care to take
the chances of being shot in the event
that they are on the firing line, but
the inspector generals department
has condemned the general use of
gray horses in the army This, how
ever, does ot'prevent many of the Of
ficers of the army from riding gray
horses. and they have refused to draw
the color line. Some of the members
Of the general staff are advocating
the Issuance of a general order pro-
hibiting the use Of gray or light color
ed horses in the army as they claim
that with even a few officers on light
colored mounts the enemy will be
able to locate a regiment or COM
pany which might be on scout duty.
The question whether a. gray horse is
officially regarded as a suitable mount
for an officer has been the subject of
lively controversy at at least one
army post

CAMDEN SETS ONE GOOD EXAMPLE.

Camden city is seldom credited with progressive
ideas but the is certainly ahead of all other
municipalities of the State in economic utilization
of the of her Jail population which also serves
to discourage ofenses against the law. Camden
makes profit out of her jail inmates and at the
same time pays them for their labor
Moreover Camden makes profit out of the city
refuse All this stuff that can be made salable is
baled in presses by jail labor and sold Last year
the city shipped million pounds of waste paper and
about 25 900 pounds of rags to the mills. By these
economic devices Camden is saved the expense of
maintenance for prisoners and of a scavenger con-
tract and earns than $4,000 annually. OF
course it is in the power of every other city in New
Jersey to do what Camden is doing, giving occupation
and wages to jail inmates and making a good profit
out of their labor.
