Comparison Is Absurd.

Theodore Roosevelt is very tiresome
with his habitual insistence upon his
own resemblance to Abraham Lincoln
There is not point of resemblance be
tween them, and the methods of Roose-
welt are as unlike those of Lincoln as
can possibly be imagined At no point
is the contrast greater than in the
references to the authority of judicial
decisions. Mr.. Roosevelt does not like
some judicial decisions, and therefore
he would give the general population,
at sort of town meeting, an oppor-
tunity to say, not whether the de-
cision was right or not, but whethcr
they like it or not. Mr.. Lincoln did
not like the bred Scott decision; but
he did not propose to submit any ques-
ton of litigation to a popular vote; he
proposed to change the Law Of the
land, so that such decision as that
in the case of bred Scott would not
be repeated.

Republican Ticket in 1916.

A capital ticket for 1916 on firm
platform is within reach of the Re
publicans. They can yoke good
eastern man with good middle state
or western man, or vice versa, getting
the benefit of the geographical arrange
ment which is almost a law in both
parties. Surely the election returns
gave them a pointer as to what they
should do and how to do it. And
they will have Is months in which to
mature their nominating program.

Costly "Eeonomy."

The river and harbor appropria-
tion bill, beaten by the pluck and per-
sistence of the Republican Represent
alive Frear and the Republicans Bur-
ton and Kenyon In the senate, was
probably the worst in history. In
fact, evidence of real purpose dras-
ticaliy to correct the unquestioned
waste of national administration has
not appeared. Democratic economy is
indistinguishable from Republican ex-
travagance except that 1t costs con-
siderably more in spite of a more
urgent need for economy than has
presented itself for many years.

SOME POINT IN OBJECTION
Chunky Applicant for Army Service,
Rejected, Had Proved Superb
GRITTY Over Accepted Man.

General Arthur Murray said at a
dinner in San Francisco, apropos Of
the height of soldier:
"The British army has raised the
height limit for volunteers to five feet
five. Short Britishers object to this
and with reason.
For consider the Japanese. They
are Incompatible soldiers. Yet the
five feet five limit would bar most
of them out.
Consider the Gurkhas, the Hill
Tribe soldiers of India. They are as
valiant as the Japs, yet their height
runs from four feet eleven to five
feet four.

stations, just after the establishment

The delegates also listened to addresses
Intended to stir the Italian people in this
country to even greater efforts to make
themselves a power.
Speakers today were Dr. FREDERICK
Luongo, of Orange. n. j.; Or. Ben DE
Necchis, of Philadelphia, both of whom
spoke upon education. Members OF the
Alliance were urged to use their influence
in having the Italian people educate their
children to take their proper place In the
affairs of this country, and regret was
expressed that this important work OF
education was often neglected.
The keynote of every speech thus far
has been patriotism toward the country
of their adoption. Every speaker has
urged Italians to become citizens of
the country of their adoption, to be-
come familiar with its laws and Gus
toms. and, in fact, TO become Americans
in every sense of the word.

PRODUCE PRICES
RISE WITH ADVENT
OF COLD WEATHER

There are other helpful signs, too, for
poultry dealers predict that the supply of
turkey will be exceptional because of the

continues plentiful and of a god quality
with prices about usual for this time of
the year.
one of the most unusual features of
the market today is the fact that stewing
chickens are bring almost as much as
roasting chickens. This is attributed to
the tendency among farmers to hold their
older chickens for laying, in anticipatIon
of seeing eggs rise to a high price
Dealers, however, believe that present
prices for eggs will continue

AMERICAN COPPER CARGoES
SEIZED OFF GIBRAL TAR
British Charge Possible Reconsign-
ment to Krupps

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The seizure at
Gibraltar by British authorities OF two
italian vessels the San Giovanni and the
Regina dItalia, carrying cargoes of
American copper, was reported to the
state Department today.
The report of the seizure was received
from four copper companies in New
York shippers of the cargoes held. They
requested the State Department to make
protest to Great Britain against confisca-
ton of the cargoeB.
The State Department today cabled the
American Consul at Gibraltar for an ex-
planation of the detention OF the vessels.
In this connection a report was also
awaited from the Consul regarding the
seizure of the Red Star liner Kroonland
there yesterday. 1t is probable that repre-
sentations will be made to Great Britain
just as soon as the department obtains
full details of the seizures.
The San Giovanni and the Regina
d1talia sailed from New York and we're
on their way to italian ports. Although
Great Britain has furnished no reason for
the detention Of these ships at Gibraltar.
it 10 assumed at the State Department that
the Gibraltar authorities suspected that
the copper, after 1t had reached italian
ports, would be reconsigned to the Krupps
