Mixing Metap horical Babies.

A Hartford speaker discussing idiots includes among them philanthropists who are "throttling the ship of state with one hand and caulking its seams with the other" He must be a rela tive of the politician who declared: MT. Speaker.

But Roosevelt's crown a. q peace
maker comes through the part he
played in bringing to an end the
Russo Japanese war. He was able to
mediate because Of the strength Of
his foreign policy and the prestige he
had gained as a diplomat Of great
power and understanding. They had
the habit Of listening to him with a,
tention, and whom he suggested the
basis Of settlement the warning pow
ers wondered why they had not
been able to see the light themselves,
Roosevelt believes in finding q solu-
ton to a problem Of international
dispute before hate and aversion
grows TO the point that reason is
obscared by prejudice. The pacifists
believe that time is more certain to
bring a peaceable solution through,
the opportunity afforded for sober
second thought. You can choose be-
tween the two ideas for yourself.
There are two well know methods
of approaching international ques-
tons. The prevailing way is to al
low them TO drift hoping that time
will bring solution: the Roosevelt
way is to attack the problems and
through. ordinary mental processes
seek. the answer. The next few
weeks may tell whether or not the
prevailing system will or will not end
in war. The Roosevelt system dio
not end in war.
Roosevelt always keep the army
and navy ready TO strike. When he
threatened n nation with war he ment
just that and nothing more nor less.
lie did not have ideas that the use
of physical force is degrading or
that il was sinful to consider Amer
lean interests to the exclusion of
Observation-Disclosures that is. l..
other words Roosevelt was all-Amer-
lean: he was good citizen of the
world afterward. For these reasons
he is the greatest force in the coun-
try today to which Americans look
for championship of American rights
abroad. Every one knows just what
Roosevelt stands for and what he
will do, if given the opportunity.
Though man without party, he is
The largest factor in contemporary
politics.

RATE CASE IS
REOPENED BY
COMMISSION
On the Petition Of the Spokane
Merchants Association and
Nevada Commission.
tsY AssoelArsp rsrss,


WASHINGTON, April 1.-The eel
ebrated intermountain rate case, be-
gun in 1911 and disposed Of three
years later in the supreme court,
was reopened today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission on petition
OF the Spokane Merchants Associa-
ton and the Nevada railroad COM
mission. Hearings will begin hero
April "a, and decision will be rem
dered as speedily as possible.
The case involves the railroads
right to charge higher rates on
wide range of commodities, includ-
ing many staples. from Atlantic
coast cities to points west of Denver
than are charged on the through
haul from coast to coast.
Radical changes in transportation
conditions. due mainly to the war in
Europe and the closing of the Pann-
ma canal by slides, virtually have
competition between trans
continental railroads and steamship
lines. the petitioners assert, SO that
there no longer is any Justification
for discriminating greatly against in
terror points on the plea that such
competition has to be met.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion already has conducted a pre-
limnary investigation OF this claim,
and its results are said to have shown
there was some ground for the con-
tention.
