Roosevelt in the West.

Theodore Roosevelt has been cutting a wide swatl
in the West He has travelled through Iowa. Kan
sas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Illinois, and is now
about to tour Indiana Reports from these States
to the effect that the crowds which have gather
ed TO hear and him equaed the throngs Of 1912
and that they listened patiently his speeches, de-
spite the fact that his voice was hoarse and painfully
husky"
The features OF Roosevelts campaign in the West
have been twofold In the first place. he has shown
no mercy to the Republicans He denounced COM
promise in Missouri and Nebraska; told the Pro-
gressves in Kansas, who have gone back to the Re-
publican party that they were backslders and traitors
and in Iowa bitterly attacked Senator Cummins,
thereby contributing TO the chance of victory for
Representative Connolly, the Democratic Senatorial
nominee. In the second place, he avoided local is
sues almost entirely, and posed as the friend of all
mankind He advocated child labor and all manner
of reforms, asserting that the Progressives would
if in power, give the average man chance" Some
of his sentences cpigrammatic THE Republic
ans, he said, gave much to a few men, but the
Democrats have not given anything to anybody"
There is no doubt that the Democrats have taken
renewed hope in all OF the States in which Roose-
welt has spoken. Both Republicans and Progressives
would have united in Nebraska to take one final
smash at Bryan but Roosevelt, who is so much op-
posed bossism ordered his followers not to make
the combination In Springfield ILL.,. last Thursday
night, Col Roosevelt dined with Gov Dunno much
to the JOY of the Progressves and anti-SuIivan
Democrats. His large audiences in Illinois, number
ing 10000 for instance. in Galesburg have infused
enthusiasm into his party, and thus increased the
chances of Democratic success.

government might do would be TO pro-
mote the exports Of goods instead Of
gold. by Fronting trade instead OF spec
ulation. Other governments are doing
this, while our lawmakers are proposing
to print money. and buy silver, and help
cotton TO be held instead Of moved.
The thing TO do is to remove the OBJ
structions to such trade as Is indicated
above. and 70 self what IL wanted rather
than what we want to get rid Of True
prosperity should come as gently and
naturally as the brooks I'll the lake, and
not by convulsions or q gigantic effort
Nature inscrutably made disease catch
ing" but in trade prosperity Is catching.
A man doing business Is q better advance
agent OF prosperity than any number OF
elections or laws. The men who are not
doing business should take notice that
there are others who are not waiting for
government or anybody else to do some
thing for them. There II not the least
reason to believe that any man in good
credit. with a showing Of business ahead.
cannot find bankers glad TO help him to
all the resources he wants Those who
have exhausted their credit. or whose
trade has run out. will wait in vain for
government to make them prosperous.
Prosperity is here today for many. for
many more than in any other country.

IMAGINATION LIFTS PosTERITY

We. the people, need to have eyes Of
imagination in order that we may be GOOD
citizens. voter with sufficient ability
to see the rest Of mankind and the ZEN
erations yet unborn will sacrifice his con-
venience. and even much more, to 80 to
the polls
The better we come TO know mankind
the actual character and lives of people
whom perhaps we have never seen or
never will see-the stronger grows our d.
truism. which is a normal quality OF
human nature. The literature OF the mag
azines is rendering an invaluable service.
II is forwarding a gradual reconciliation
Of classes and races by its vivid portrayal
of what people really are. II is bringing
our conception of the rest of humanity
nearer to the human reality.
The psychology that tells US clearly how
we are separated by time. rather Than
space. from those who will be affected
by our acts. is important in the develop
ment of ciyiG. imagination. For every ton
of coal that We mine, for every beautiful
hillside that we rob of its forests, for
every law put on the statute books by
the Iegisla tors that we elect, fer every
vote that is cast at the polls, We are an
sverable to future generations
Without Imagination II is impossible to
comprehend our civic responsibilities

AUTO BODIES OF WOOD CEMENT.

Apropos OF the suggestion made some
time ago that motorcar bodies might with
profit be made of papier mache. II is in
teresting to note that a drm Of French
builders recently has perfected a method
Of using what Is styled wood cement. for
this purpose, apparently with considerable
success In using the material the exact
composition OF which is kept secret. the
body is built Of a light framework over
which is stretched wire netting. The wood
cement is then literally plastered on with
a troweL II dries quite hard in twenty
four hours. after which IL can be planed
like wood, and is capable Of taking very
high finish. The weight Of the finished
body is approximately the same as the
weight Of an ordinary wooden one. One
valuable feature Of the construction is
that repairs are very easily made. In case
of breaks caused by collision. etc. IT is
necessary merely to plaster up the hole
and refinish the body. The material does
not chip or disintegrate, is impervious to
water. heat. or cold. and is practically
ombustible.-Scientifc American.

Senator Sheppard's Bill.

There is feature OF bill recently introduced
by Senator Sheppard, OF Texas which is highly COM
mcndabIe
The Senator's bill is introduced as a war revenue
measure and calls for the reduction of salaries of all
persons employed in the civil military, naval, or
other services OF the United States including Sena-
tors and Representatives. The proposed reductions
are follows: For all salaries over $1,000, IL per
cent; $I,ooo to $500, per cent; $500 to $1,000
8 per cent; $4,000 to $1,000 per cent; $1,000 to
$4,000, per cent; $1,000 to 5000, per cent and
5000 to $1,000 10 per cent. The reductions are to
be in effect from November /, 1914, to November
I, 1915
The President of the United States is not over
paid and very few government clerks arc For years
the latter have been receiving the same meager sal
aries while the cost Of living has been constantly in
creasing of all proportion to salaries Any propo-
stion to cut their salaries does do credit to the
Texas Senator.
AS the financial condition of the country is largely
due to Congressional appropriations, however, the
suggestion of Senator Sheppard that the salaries of
his legislative colleagues be cut contains no little
merit. The Senator, with his service in both the
higher and lower branches, is fully aware that there
are few $500 in Congress

Mexico and the Democratic Campaign Book.

BY curious coincidence the new revolution in
Mexico and the appearance of the Democratic CAM
paign text book happened at the same time.
Unfortunately, the campaign text book and the
latest disturbance in Mexico do fit together Many
pages of the volume devoted to what is called
The Wonderful Story of Watchfu Waiting" All
of the adjectives of praise are employed in COM
mending President Wilson. The Mexican story
says the book has thrill in it for every American
citizen 1t should be thrill of pride" There is
nothing said about the loss of American lives and
property, but the ousting of Huerta is commended
and the incoming OF Carranza hailed as an event
which senced all critics and proved IAN overwhelm-
ing Endorsement for President Wilson's policy Of
watchful waiting" In large black type it is an
nounced that mediation was a complete success 1t
not only relieved very difficult situation
but it avoided further of force by this govern
ment and paved the way for the establishment of
representative and probably permanent reconstruc-
ton in Mexico" After which, in itac type was the
triumphant announcement that the troops had been
ordered out of Vera Cruz.
Scarcely had the book appeared when Villa and
Carranza began to spring each others throats
Anybody who knows anything of Mexican history
or the Mexican people must have known that such
result inevitable Villa would never in the world
allow Carranza to step in and gather all the fat
emouments which enjoyed by President of
Mexico. He has not been fighting for glory He
wants to get his hands upon the Mexican money box
and if he cannot get all, he will take half 1t is
absurd, matter of fact to talk about representa-
tive government in Mexico 1t is an idle dream For
years to come Mexico will have to be ruled BY
dictator it will not be ruled at all
Meanwhile the men who are responsible for this
latest uPheaval are the who aided and abet-
ted by the present administration. They were given
the administrations moral support, were allowed to
receive arms and ammunition when the same privilege
was denied to Huerta, and the recently published
correspondence showed that they had the sympathy
of John Lind, the Presidents personal representative
and spokesman in Mexico 1t is too bad that they
should not have shown the gratitude which such
kindness deserved They ought at least have given
friendly tip to the authors of the text book or else
postponed their upsetting of President Wilson's Mexi-
can policy until after election day

TOY SHIPS N TOY OCEAN.
LIeat. Commander Taylor to FELL
All About Larger Craft.

In a long, low building. down near th'
river In washington, there Is a man who
plays with toy ships on a toy ocean. And
as a result OF his play, he can foretell
exactly how the big battleships Of the
United States viii behave in q storm Al
Sea, and he can predict to a nicely how
much horsepower will be needed to drive
tho great trans-AtIantic liners laden with
their passengers and freight He does
this even before the keels OF the ships
have been laid down.
He Is Lieutenant Commander d. w.
Taylor. naval constructor in the United
States navy. and the toy ocean on which
he works is the United States expert
mental model basin. The sheet OF water
In the basin is 500 feet long and fifty feet
wide, with n maximum depth of fourteen
feet. But in this limited space Comman-
der Taylor. working with a wave maker.
a dynamometer. towing bridge and other
apparatus to cover all the mechanical
problems connected with the construction
of ohlp. It's probable roll when struck by
giant waves, and the horsepower needed
in its tremendous engines to drive II
through the water. He works with wood
en- models twenty feet long Some OF
them weigh a thousand pounds. none OF
them more than two thousand. The other
countries of the world use paraffine mod
els but he works entirely with the min
iature ships Of wood.
For this construction there was a very
good reason. In the summer time, IL Is
so hot in Washington that a model made
out of even the best paraffne showed
signs o. melting. II 1t did not melt en-
tirely. IT changed its shape in an alarm
ing degree.
One Of the most important things in
experimenting with the models Is to be
sure that IN the beginning they have the
exact lines and dimensions proportion
ately of the big ships. and that the lines
and dimensions shall not change a hairs
bread
The drawings and plans OF the battle
ships to be built by Uncle Sam are turn
ed over to Mr.. Taylor by the Navy De-
partments Bureau of Construction and
Repair In a little shop which adjoIns the
building which covers the model basin the
models are made and painted. Bags OF
shot, each weighing twenty-five pounds,
are kept on hand TO bring the model up
to the corresponding weight of the big
ship. The final tests are made In the
toy ocean" near blythe Popular Mag
aZine.
