VETE ARE beholden to Mr.. w. K. Blxby,

volume, privately printed by him in 1907 of
"Hamilton's Itinerarium," a narrative of a
journey from Annapolis, Md, through Della

tember, 1744. The observant traveller was
DIR. Alexander Hamilton, and we feel that
we are going to find in the pages OF this

here's what he says about Derby Darby.

THE WORLD WAR IN FIGURES

In Europe rs per cent. of the population at
war in all the world Sc per cent. of the popu-
lation involved in the conflict; 100000 men
actually under arms; 100000 killed, nearly
100000 wounded, more than 100000 prisoners.
We cannot grasp these figures, but we can
get some idea of what they mean by compar-
ing them with the results of previous wars.
We were accustomed to speak of our Civil War
as the greatest conflict OF modern times; but
apparently It was only one-tenth the magnitude
of the present conflict At no time did the
number of men actually under arms. North
and South, exceed 1900 900 men, and the total
number of those killed in battle and who died
of wounds on the Northern side was 1lO,O70, and
on the Southern side probably not more than
$4,000: that in four years of war then the
destruction of life less than one-tenth of
the destruction of life during little more than
one year at the present time.
In the Napoeonic wars from 1896 to 1915 the
largest army ever assembled was that which
Napoleon led into Russia, in 1912, and this
numbered somewhat in excess of 100000 The
German armies fighting today in Russia on
the east and in France on the west are more
than six times as large.-General Francis V.
Greene, in the outlook.

they called bargaining tariff" because
they know that the way to extend business
Is by making new markets. They were OPP
posed to anti-dumping legislation as an in
adequate remedy for the evil Of cut-throat
foreign competition, and they favored com

To the Editor of Erening Ledger:

To the Editor of Erening Ledger:
Sir-Your editorial, 'Look for Moses and
Find Him." Is, | take 1t, word in opposition
TO the supposed candidacy of Theodore Roose-
welt.
You say "the nation looks for a new leader"
II we in need Of a general to lead our
armies to victory, would it he advisable to
seek a and untred man when there was
available who had served in this capacity
before with honor and distinction? If one of
great business corporations had cause to
elect president at a critical period of it's eX-
istence, would IL be good business policy to
give preference to a new and untried man over
who had been tried and had not been
found wanting?
Many of us have long considered Colonel
Roosevelt the most able leader since Lincoln.
and, II there ever any doubt in our minds
that this was so, the events of the last eighteen
months have completely dispelled it, over a
year ago he took up and advocated prepared
ness and compulsory military service which
have now become SO popular. At that time his
utterances met with violent opposition, not only
from the professional paclfist element but from
many well-meaning but short-sighted persons
WE'LL he was ridicued from all sides he
was sneeringly referred 10 "jingo," and
his motives We're construed as being inspired
by n desire for self f-glorhcaton. Since then
a great change has taken place, and every true
American worth while has been forced after
many months have elapsed, to see things as
this man with gifted vision saw them long
ago, and those who ridiculed him then are
now among the strongest supporters of those
very policies for which they once had only
condemnation and sneers.
1t has been intlmated by the clique styled
the old guard that Mr.. Roosevelt desires TO
return to the Republican party. This is to
laugh man must leave before he return
and Mr.. Roosevelt has never left the Republican
party. The group of disgruntled politicians
who thwarted the will of the people and APP
propFiated the party name four years ago, and
the comparatively small number of men who
voted with them simply because of the party
name, do not represent Republican principles.
Theodore Roosevelt and the great rank and
file of American people who followed him then
are the true Republican party, and those who
pirate about him returning remind one of
the small boy who breads to have his face
washed, but knows that it is going to be
done. The present indications are that they
are not only going TO have their faces washed,
but are going TO have a complete bath, and
it will not be an immunity bath either.

protest against elevation to the highest court
or man who had been railroad attorney
and was supposed to be in close sympathy
with all corporation demands It was freely
predicted that he could not be confirmed;
but after long fight the appointment was
approved by a majority Of one vote. 1t took
the Republican party a long time TO live
down the effect of indorslng a man who was
suspected OF inability to take an impartial
