ed it to the skies and congratulated
the people OF the country that they
were the benefciaries OF it's policies.
1t was not until Theodore Roosevelt
was defeated in his ambition to be
selected the candidate for the pres
idency OF this same republican party
that new light came to him and for
the first time he discovered the party
was all wrong. If he had been NOM
mated for president at Chicago and
his election had followed he would
have been today, instead of denounc-
ing the policies of the party, sound
ing it's praises and cOngratulating the
people OF the country upon the bene-
fits they are deriving from its ad-
ministration. 1t will not do to say
that Mr.. Roosevelt suddenly discover
ed that he had been in error all the
time when holding an Office in the re-
publican party and that he was in
nuenced to adopt the course he did
upon discovering that he had been
deceived by the party, because during
all his mature life he has been stu
dent OF public affairs and clearly
understood the distinction between
the different parties and the princi-
pies for which they stood and for the
further reason that his faultfindinS
with the republican party dates from
his failure to secure the nomination
for President at the hands OF the
party.
1t is the misfortune of great men
to make great mistakes and Theodore
Il, 10 Sfnlti.
fies himself by adopting the course he
has taken against the republican par
ty. He states in his address, and
reiterates time and again, the state
ment that the democratic party as an
organization is incompetent to man
age the affairs of the country and yet
his conduct and his addresses are
such that he is all the time contribut-
ing to the success OF the party which
he denounces as incompetent. But
for Theodore Roosevelt's becoming
piqued at his defeat in Chicago and
because OF his indefensible conduct
since the convention, the republican
party would have been in power in the
United States today and its policies
enforced and we would not be en-
barrassed by having TO submit to di-
rect taxation TO pay the expenses OF
operating the government in time OF
peace.
We believe some day Mr.. Roosevelt
will publicly apologize to the people
of the United States for his recent
conduct and will say to them that it
was prompted by his failure to domin-
ate the party at the Chicago conven-
ton sufficiently to secure the nomin-
alton for president

TEDDY ASSAULTS REPUBLICANS

Theodore Roosevelt, in his flying
trip through Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
Illinois and Indiana did not lose an OPP
portunity to assault the republican
party from which organization all the
honors the man ever received were
bestowed. 1t is u sad commentary
upon the good faith and appreciation
of public men when they will accept
hOnors from a party as long as their
standing is maintained in the party
and, when their popularity has reach
ed the vanishing point. will suddenly
turn and rend the party that has thus
favored them.
Many OF those who listened to Mr..
Roosevelt on his recent trip and heard
him denounce the republican party
were able to recall that when he was
q candidate for Office on the ticket OF
the same party and enjoying the bene-
fits of office a few years ago, he laud-

ports that Germany was about

| While the government has taken con
siderable grain and food stuffs, which
is all paid for, the people are living
the same as usual. Potatoes there
sell for only so cents per bushel and
meat is not as high as it is right here
in Denison. Germany has great crops
this year, which We're nearly all har.
vested before the war started. In any
event. they will have enough food
stuff to feed the population and their
army until the crop is harvested next
year. At my sisters we had plenty
to eat and enough stored away to
last her until next spring. They had
a particularly fine team of horses on
their farm but they were taken over
by the government, they receiving
$500 for them.

America on boat sailing from Hol-
land | decided to do so. 1t was a
long trip from Colmar to Holland and
the trains only ran daytime for at
night the railroas were turned over
to the government for the purpose OF
transporting troops. Before leaving
Colmar visited the Burgemaster and
he gave me the proper credentials
which allowed NE to make safe jour-
ney through Germany to Holland.
They are taking every precaution to
safeguard their bridges and at every
one of them there is a guard to see
that no one blows them up.
81 can't understand why the news
papers give such untrue reports about
Germany. Germany is not to blame
for this war and it is matter OF life
and death to her to preserve the en-
pire. My opinion is that this war was
brought about through jealousy OF
other countries. being envious of the
great foreign trade that she has built
up. Those French and English peo-
pie are suppressins the real news and
when arrived in New York | read
in a daily paper, which printed re-

about the fall of this particular French
fort and it took over two weeks for
them to give ont the news to this
country.

fire INSURANCE MEN VISIT.

did they come to inspect property on
which they had issued insurance. Mr.
Nacve believed that DeniSon would
be only too glad that they visited here
and thoroughly acquaint her prop
erty owners of the dangerous cOndl
tions that existed, if any.
Mr.. O. w. Follett, representing the
Home Insurance company, reported
the result of the inspection that he
himself had made while in the city
pointing out a few conditions that he
found that might easily result in q
great loss by fire. He cautioned the
property owners to be careful and not
allow infiamable matter to gather III
cellar ways and about buildings and
told of the destruction that might be
wrought if this condition was allowed
Mr.. Follett in pleasing manner eX.
planned the reason for the visit to
Denison and stated that it was for
the mutual benefit of property own
ers and insurance companies alike
that they had come here to investl
gate conditions and make report ana
hoped that every property owner
would profit by it by needing the sus
gestions that were made and in TINS
way eliminate in a measure the many
dangers OF fire When these things are
eliminated it will naturally lead 10
lower insurance rates, said the speak
er.
Mr.. F. ID. Babcock was then called
uDon to make report OF the schools,
churches and public buildings which
he had inspected. and in number OF
instances he found things i'll pretty
bad shape. His chief complaint was
in regard to electric wiring which IN
some instances was strung through
joists and over ceilings without prop
err insulation The public schools
we're in much better condition than
were the churches, but in nearly eV-
cry building he found things that
might easily bring about fire unless
attended to.
Carl b. Richardson, of Denison, who
is the agent for the Franklin lnsur-
ancc company, addressed the meeting
and gave an interesting talk on the
danger OF greasy rags and how easy
it is for spontaneous combustion II
these are allowed accumulate.
Mr.. Bogart reported that Denlson
was not unlike many other cities OF
its size and that certain things eX-
listed that really should be attended
to.
State Fire Marshal Roe did not
come to Denison for the purpose OF
making Il fire inspection, but to give
property owners short talk on the
prevention of fires. Mr.. Roe stated that
the total fire losses in Iowa amounted
to an average of $4,000 a day and
that this loss could easily be cut in
half if property owners would but
heed the advice of fire insurance men
and inspectors. He pointed out to
those present that a persons who fails
to make necessary changes after an
inspection he is liable to fine OF $50
per day until they are made.
The inspection was certainly
good thing for the property owners in
Denison for they now realize the dan
ger of fire and will exert extra ef-
fort to bring about changes as advised
by the visitors. Denison has certainly
been fortunate in regard to fires and

Wilson and his secretary should act in
os unbecoming a manner.
It must be said that the policy which
has been adopted on the part of this
country toward Mexico has been a
failure. 1t is evident the people OF
that country are incapable OF anything
like self.government and until some
man within an iron will comes into
power and rules with a firm hand,
nothing like order will prevail. Some
one must prove himself sufficiently
powerful to overcome all revolutions
and uprisings on the part of the diff
terent factions, and when this man is
found if he ever shall be, and not I'M
til then. will Mexico assume anything
like a stable government.

Let me tell you Il word about those
German soldiers met scores of
them at Colmar and in every case
they were as polite and accommodate

They would stop at my sisters house
for something to eat and some hot
coffee and would tell us of the fight
they had been in with the French. Ev-
cry one OF them was confident that
Germany will come out victorious in
this war, and let me add that every
