Roosevelt ApplaudS
Hughes Speech

Theodore Roosevelt sat In box al
Carnegie Hall when MIR. Hughes de
lvered his speech OF acceptance and
vigorously applauded every telling
point.
The Colonel repeatedly arose and
bowed In response to the cheers for
him and the shouts Of TEDDY" Ted
dyi" "Hurrah for Teddy!" and when
the meeting adjourned he made the
following statement:
1T is an admirable speech and
wish TO call attention to the following
points:
4 am particularly pleased with the
exposure OF the folly, and worse than
folly, OF Mr. Wilson's Mexican policy
and OF the way in which this policy
has brought humiliation to the United
States and disaster TO Mexico itself.
Moreover, ! am very glad OF the
straightforward manner La which Mr..
Hughes has shown the ridicule with
which Mr.. Wilson has covered this ma
ton by the manner in which he al
lowed foreign powers to gain the Inn
preston that although he used the
strongest words in diplomacy they
were not to be taken seriously
Not Words Which Count.
"As Mr.. Hughes said, it Is not words
but the strength and resolution behind
the words which count AS Mr..
Hughes pointed out there is no doubt
that If Mr.. Wilson's conduct and &C.
ton had been such as to make the
foreign nations believe that he meant
precisely what he said In his strict
accountability there would have been
no destruction Of American lives by
the sinking OF the Lusitania.
when Mr.. Hughes uses strong
words his record shows that they are
always backed by strong deeds, and
therefore in the enormous majority of
cases the use Of strong words renders
1t unnecessary ever to have recourse
to strong deeds.
Again, Mr.. Hughes speaks in char
straightforward fash.
ton OF the outrages committed on mu- !
nitions plants and all men, whether |
citizens Of foreign nations or nominal |
citizens Of our own land. who had IN |
any shape or way abetted or condoned

Hughes. II President. will protect

punish offenders against them with

Period of American History" and was
struck by the following two sentences:
"a government touches the lowest
point OF ignominy when 1t confesses
It's inability to protect the lives and
the property of its citizens. A gov
ernment which has come to this has
failed In dlscharging the primary func-
ton of government and forthwith
ceases to have any reason for exist
lng.'
"Mr. Hughes has pointed out in his
speech with selfrestraint, but with
emphasis, that it is precisely this
primary function which Mr.. Wilson's
Administration has failed to discharge
and that II is precisely this point OF
lgnomlny to which he has reduced

 ARCTIC ISLANDS

RAILWAY GETS 2
 YEARS SET BACK

Seward, Nov. 27-Capt. Freder- ick Mears, member of the Alaskan Railway Commission, declared here today that the government rail road between Seward and Fair banks would not be completed be- fore 1920 or 1921, instead of 1918, as has been previously an- nounced. He also said that the par of the system along TurnagaiR Arm, between Seward and Anchor age, would not be ready for opera ton until 1918, instead of by No- vember, 1917, as originally con- templated.
 Mears said that construction work had been heavier and slower than expected and that the getting of s supplies had been more difficult than planned.
 Last summer, he said, was the toughest in years on Turnagain Arr which retarded construction, and the "weakness of bridges on the old Alaska Northern line, he found, prevents the use now of snow blows to keep the road open beyond the Forty Mile Station. 1n- stead of 2,OOO men at work on the Arm division, planned by the engineering commission, he said there were less than 1000.
 Mears sailed today for Seattle enroute to Washington, where he will report on conditions as he found them here.
