ROOSEVELT GAINS A POINT
First Evidence to Prove Assertion on
Which Suit Is Based That Men
Were Political Allies.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 6.-Through
the testimony of Walter Arndt, for
merly a correspondent for a New
York city Newspaper at Albany, the
Roosevelt forces succeeded in show.
ing communication between William
Barnes and Charles F. Murphy about
legislation at Albany.
Murphy, according to Arndt's YER
sion of an interview with Barnes in
1909, had asked Republican help to
kill the direct primary bills.
1t was Roosevelt's first evidence to
prove his assertion on which the libel
suit is based, that Barnes and Murphy
were political allies.
"In that one instance" explained a
Roosevelt lawyer, Barnes may have
refused to aid Murphy, but we have
established the fact that they were j n

LOOK FOR RESULTS
People Are Becoming Tired of
Mere Empty Words.
Presidential Stamping Tour Would
Have Little Establishments See
Future in the Results of the
Recent Elections.

Those Democrats who are alarmed
by the election results Immediately
suggest a stumping Jour for Mr.. Will
son They want him to swing around
the circle and hearten the party. A
few blasts from his bugle horn would.
they think, work wonders.
1t is a question. The president
would have attention. Crowds would
greet him and weigh his words.
But it is a condition, not a theory.
that %confronts the Democracy. 1t is
impossible to argue with an empty
stomach. The only successful way
to deal with it is to fill it. Neither
can an empty dinner pail be ex.
planned away. The proper method is
to fill that.
Fine words, we are told, butter no
parsnips. They do not. Mr.. Wilson
is the possessor of a rich vocabulary,
and employs it like an artist. Both
with tongue and pen he charms. But
an idle man who is hungry and wants
work and to be fed is in no humor for
well turned phrases and arguments.
Something more substantial is neces.
sary. and ever Mr.. Wilson would fail
with him.
Speaking on Il notable occasion last
year, Mr.. Wilson declared that the
business depression then prevailing
was largely Psychologists mere
condition of the mind. His advice to
business men was summed up in two
words-"forget it." But the depres.
sion persists. and the results are far
reaching.
A stumping tour, therefore, does
not seem to be the right suggestion
VIII. is needed is a return of conf
dence and prosperity.
1t is true that if the pail over bust
ness does not lift, cannot be lifted
and the depression next year is as
great as it now is, the spellbinders
then will be as powerless and super
huous as they are today. Money
talks, 1t is said. Idle money is talk
ing now, and will continue to tall
until it gets employment at fair re
turns; and not all the orators at theil
best will be able to prevail agains
it. What the people want is not ex
plantations or more promises. but per
formances that benefit.

Good Roads Must Be Maintained.

With construction going forward at
full speed and hundreds of miles OF
mud proof roads springing up each

vocates have started a campaign to
drive home to local officials the neces-

ways. Neglect the improved roads
and Ohio will be back in the mud

by w. A. Alsdorf, secretary of the Ohio
Good Roads Federation. Local off.
Gals are being told that the question
of keeping improved roads in repair
is an important business problem
which should be given the same care
and attention that railroad officials
and the officers of other big corpora

line up good roads advocates for the

Republican Reunion.

In discussing the question of a re.

Jones, in advocating it, thinks thar
