What the Country Needs.
or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The latest killing of American SOL
diers and citizens by Mexican bandits, an ]
on United States soil at that, is not to be
wondered at when We consider that the Ad-
ministration at Washington made the most
serious blunder that any nation could make
in recognizing one bandit faction against an
other in a country overrun by revolution. "A
schoolboy should be able TO reason out that
such an act would only result in the murder
Of Americans by the opposing bandit fac
tons.
II is high time that the American public
raised its voice and protested against such
blunders Of an incompetent Administration.
We want man in the White House who is
capable Of handling the Mexican situation,
and also the European situation, IN man
ner that will make all foreign nations sit up
and take notice that they tampcr with Amerl-
can rights and lives at their peril.
With Theodore Roosevelt at the head OF
our nation other nations would think twice
before they stepped on Uncle Sans corns,
and that's the kind OF man this country needs
as its President. more so now than ever be-
fore IN its history. Mr.. Roosevelt is the
only man in public life to-day in these United
States who has the ability, the experience.
the courage, inc strehk'", t"e ioiee' '"e
worldwide knowledge as to how to deal with
the several trying situations now confronting
our country.
II the two Chicago conventions in June
have the interests Of the United States and
the citizens at heart, they will nominate
Theodore Roosevelt for President, and il the
voters next November have the Spirit OF
'76" in their veins they will emphasize that
nomination by clecting him with far greater
majority than his notable record of 1904.

quality of feature and spirit.
'The' face of the woman 1 portray

a baby tiger. The width of cheek
bones, the nervous quality of the
brows and the expression Of the eyes

structure is peculiarly attractive to
me, as an artist, and l believe it is
to all men. It suggests reserve en-

sULPHURIc ACID.
Its Production in Connection With
Smelling Zinc and Copper Ores.


The production of sulphuric acid in
the United States in 1915 was $685.
152 short tons, expressed in terms of
so degrees acid, valued at $29, 1863, ESQ,
and there was an output of 1S9,795
short tons of oleum of Tuning acid of
different strengths, valued at $22,7S7.-
81, making a total of 4,057,947 short
tons, valued at $50, 657,051.
These figures which are made pu-
bile by the United States geological
survey, and which We're compiled by
w. c. Phalen, include so-called by
product acid, or acid produced at cop
per and zinc smelters. The production
of acid from this source in 1915 was
1865 $50 short tons, expressed in terms
of so degrees acid, valued at $7O42, 1875;
and included also 59,1S9 short tons OF
oleum of different strengths, valued at
$579,115.
The total production is an increase
as compared with 1914, due to an in
crease in the production of acid of the
tsronger grades--60 degrees and high
err The output of by-product acid
in 1915 also showed an increase as
compared with 1914. Expressed In
value of products these increases
have been large. In preceding years
the survey has reduced the different
grades of acid, including the stronger
grades, to so degrees Baume whenever
sufficient data were available for this
conversion. The manufacture of this
stronger acid is becoming more i'm
portant, owing to the demand from
the explosives and war munitions in
dustries, and in the statistics for 1915,
for the first time, this acid Is classified
separately.
The price of sulphuric acid varied
widely during 1915. Producers who
had previously entered into the long
time contracts sold acid at prices
much below those now current,
especially during the last part of the
year. The trade in strong acids was
active, on account of the demand
from the explosives and war munition
industries, but this demand came only
after the first quarter of the year
and was very strongly only during
the last half of the year Before
that time some acid plants were shut
down. Average values are therefore
much below those which ruled on the
market at the close of the year.

AN IDAHO BULL MOOSE
TALKS HIS TEETH OUT
IN A FRENZY OF ENTHUSIASM HE
WELLS FOR TEDDY WITH DIS
AsTRoUs CONSEQUENCES.

The antics of an Idaho delegate to
the progressive convention at Chicago
are described by the correspondent of
the New York Times in the issue OF
June in the following picturesque
STYLE
"At one of the noisest stages of the
I'VE want Teddy" chorus in the Audi
forum, a diminutive delegate with g
big voice from Idaho, turned himself
into a human paving block, jumping
up and down with both feet and with
the force of a piledriver and the noise
of huge bass drum, waving both arms
and yelling 1--WE want Teddy" for all
he was worth. The little man quite
outshouted the entire crowd of dele
gates on the stage.
when asked by newspaper men for
his NAME the Idahoan delivered at full
voice rapid fire account of the theft
of 1912" in Idaho, interspersing his tale
with ooh, you Teddy and Eve want
Teddy" so literally and explosively
that before he was aware of it he
coughed clear out of his head fine
and efficient set of false teeth-literal-
ly talked out his teeth for Teddy.
There was a marked pause while the
little fellow was busy getting his set
back Then the demonstration con-
tinued with undated vigor.
1.-THE same little Idahoan later grab
bed huge elongated gourd, labeled
"Roosevelt's Big Stick" He swung it
over the heads of his neighbors so
viciously that they ducked in terror.
Presently, firing of this noiseless
method of demonstration, he threw
away the big stick and brought his
fist down with bang on the bench
in front of him, breaking bone in
his hand.
But inasmucf. as SIMPSONS jaw
bone was still unchanged, this did not
deter the little Idahoan from conse-
quently becoming duly vocal"
