HUGHES OR WILSON?
RoOSEVELT'S ANSWER

against Mr.. Wilson's COM
bination of grace in elocution
with futility in action; against
his record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds. we
see Mr.. Hughes rugged and I'M
compromising straightforward
ness Of character and action in
every office he has held. We
put the man who thinks and
speaks directly, and whose
words have always been made
good, against the man whose
adroit and facile elocution Is
used to conceal his plans or his
want of plans. The next four
years may well be years of ire
mendous national strain. Which
OF the two men do you, the
American people, wish at the
helm during these four years;
the man who has been actually
tried and found wanting, or the
man whose whole career in pub
lie office is a guarantee of his
power and good faith? But one
answer is possible; and it must
be given by the American people
through the election of Charles
Evans Hughes as President Of
the United States."-Roosevelt

Booze for All.

"a man finds no difficulty in getting all the
booze he wants after he lands the first drink"
said a man who had come to the office of the
prison association after recovering from a spell
OF bootlegger's poison. "a whisky breath seems
to summon all the vultures from alleys, from
doorways, from shadowy places of downtown
blocks and even from so-called respectable
neighborhoods where importers are quietly
dispensing what they ship in through street
agents. These street agents step up to a man, if
For a moment he disappears, returns with a
bottle, takes his money and is gone, and the
buyer is left with a bottle of the deadliest stuff
ever concocted for the destruction of man and
his mind.
II don't know what's in the stuff" continued
the convalescent, "but | do know its effect.
They say there is less crime now than formerly,
when the open saloon prevailed, although there
is booze to be had for the asking.

Is Vile COncOctiOn.

There is a reason for this. The booze that
men buy in Denver today from street mer-
chants paralyZe a mans muscles, SO he can't lift
his arms or move his legs; then it makes him
blind, SO that he can't see what he is doing, and
it ties up his vocal chords and sets his brain on
fire. These are the first symptoms. Later comes
the delirium, when a mans got to be tied in bed
to keep him from self destruction, and after that
the exhaustion of mind and body and poisonous
effect on the organs of the body. Many men are
arrested for being drunk, but the bOotleggers
are not brought to the bar.
'In spite of these arrests and of the cases of
DRINKS at the county hospital, the city admins
~tration, of which the county hospital is a func-
ton, insists that the law is being enforced said
Collect, who is of the opinion that unless the
bootlegger and his merchandise are done away
with, hundreds of men will be destroyed and be-
come public charges.
The man who recovered from his latest ca
rouse and sought the office of the prison asso-
citation declared that what he bought from a
street merchant in broad daylight, in a street of
the business section, was a compound of wood
alcohol, tobacco juice, vitrol and a small portion
of whisky.
Its flowing like water in this town" declared
the victim, "and it is sold so openly that a blind
police official ought to be able to catch the law
breakers"
Yet the state administration and the district
attorney insist the city is dry and that nothing
has been left undone to enforce the law. PLENTY
the police blotter and few, very few, bootleggers
or importers"

The department of agriculture keeps
up special motion picture factory at

promoting scientific farming. The de-
partment heads use the films to illus
trate lectures and the field force shows
them at country schoolhouses and
churches, where they have invariably
attracted large and interested audi
ences. Even before the factory was
set up various bureaus Of the depart
ment made use of films In educating
the public. Thus. the bureau of ami
NAL industry had special film to
show the southern farmers how to
make and use the dipping watts that
would free their herds of ticks. 1t also

HAS WON PLACE IN HISTORY
Work of German Engineer In Asia
Minor Deserving Of the High
est Commentator.

Meissner, wro is but a few years
older than the kaiser, went out to
Turkey as a young engineer shortly
before Wilhelm assembled the throne,
and has made one portion or another
Of the Ottoman empire his special
field Of endeavor ever since. AS Ger
many's Eastward Ho! policy was a
nebulous hope rather than a definite
plan up to the beginning of the pres
ent century, the first decade or so of
Meissners work in Turkey was as
unselfish in character as were the la
bors of those distinguished Britons
who have built the railways of Ar
gentina and Peru or reformed the Gus
toms of China. During this period
the foundation of the present railway
system was laid in what was then
Turkey in Europe, and considerable
construction was also carried on in
Asia Minor. How much of Meissner's
work of the last fifteen years has
been in direct furtherance of the
Saiser's far-reaching eastern ambi-
tions it would be very difficult to say;
probably, indeed, he has little idea
himself. But however much he has
been made a pawn in the game of
Realpolitik, I am confident that there
are very few who have followed his
work of the last thirty years who will
not grant that the handspring of his
personal efforts was a deep and sin
cere affection for Turkey and the
Turkish people. The type is a COM
mon one in the last century Of British
history, but Meissner is the only Ger
man l have ever met worthy of In
