Elihu Roots Keynote Speech

Whenever Elihu Root of New York
speaks he says something. His speech at
the Republican convention in that city
last week is not to be considered as ad-
dressed solely to the few hundred Repub-
licans gathered there. 1t must be viewed
in a broader sense as a message OF one OF
the foremost Republicans to his party as
sociates throughout the land; to those
who believe in Anericanism and in the
perpetuatiop Of policies and principles OF
democracy. In other words, 1t Is SUM
mary of the beliefs of the Republican
party, keynote speech tor the guidance
of those who are to frame the platform
and to select the candidates Of the Re
npbi;can party in the coming Presiden-
tial campaign.
There are ouestionsi in Mr.. Roots mind
of apparently more Importance than the
issues of tariff and protection and other
internal economic affairs. The larger and
more serious question of Americanism
and the protection of American lives and
property is to him of paramount impor-
tance.
MIR. Roots criticism Of the Presidents
international policies, will meet with ap-
proval generally. 1t will appeal more
strongly to-day to the American people
sense of right and justice than it would
have few months ago. The country is
Il +la hot =
has kept America out of the war, but
growing sentiment has fixed line OF de
marcation between that neutrality whicf
the law of nations recognizes and thai
neutrality which the President and his ad
visers have followed. There is marked
feeling of disappointment that the note
and demands made by this governmen
have not produced those results which
were sought, but on the contrary hav
been followed by additional tiagrant re
newal of hostile attacks on the right
and the lives of American citizens. Henc
Mr.. Roots appeal for something othe
than the mere shaking of the finger o
the part of the government is well time
and this will probably be the Keynote
the campaign. For this reason Nj
Roots utterances are more importar
now than they would have been ie'
months ago. The Americanism whic
Mr.. Root proclaims that the Repu'
lican party shall teach, surely demands
greater degree of protection OF America
citizens and quicker amends for wrong
inflicted on our people than has been tt
practice of the nations of Europe in II
last year and half.
The more Mr. Roots speech is read Il
more its Americanism will appeal to Il
people; the more its terrific arraignmei
is studied the greater will be the respe
for that overshadowing intellect whit
through his long public career has di
tinguished this great Republic.
The line will be drawn sharply by tn
keynote speech and there is no dou
other states will follow this allgnmei
and the battle cry of the Republican par
as proclaimed by this distinguished m;
will be: America, may she always
right-but right or wrong, America"

In 1886 a Democratic Congress passed
the Mills tariff bill and two years later
the party was beaten. In 1898 the Will
son tariff bill was passed and approved
bv Democratic President, At the next
election the Democratic party was beat
en-. 1t was sixteen years before the Demo-
Gratis enacted another tariff bill. In 1918
the Underwood bill was enacted and APP
nroyed bv President Wilson. The voters
will pass Judgment upon that measure
next November, and history is likely to
reneat itself. Tariff legislation has always
been mighty fatal to the Democratic
party.

Gov. Gates is the last man who would
make a statement that he did not intend
to be the exact truth. So when he spoke
of the town unit idea in his inaugural
message, he was talking about roads
and highway control. Control of the
liquor traffic by the town unit was the
remotest idea with him when he so
spoke.

cine have ever used for my kidneys. l

ness in my back and they have helped

MINISTER TRIES
 TO AID ALLEGED FORCER OF NOTES
H. G. Eager Good Church man, He Contends, But
 Prisoner Isn't Freed.

Intervention by the Rev. A. P. Eng strom, pastor of the Swedish COngre- gational church in this city, will not save H. G. Eager from prosecution in Perth Amboy, N. J., where he is charged with forgery, though in his three months stay in this city he has become a prominent member of MT. Engstrom's congregation. Officials of the First National bank of Perth Am boy, which is pushing the prosecution of Eager, agreed to drop the charges if the minister would make restitu- tion of $2,250 which is about the amount that Eager is alleged to have forged notes for The minister is said to have wanted the charges dropped because Eager is a good Christian and church member.
 Richard A. Peltier, detective, of Middlesex county. New Jersey, arrived in this city today with the necessary papers to return to New Jersey with Eager, who was arrested at 279 Ma plewood avenue, Tuesday night. He has been living in this city since he disappeared from Perth Amboy three months ago when he heard the police were after him.
 
 as related by Detective Peltier, Eager was prominent painting contractor in Perth Amboy, and was well known in business circles. He was prominent in Swedish affairs of the town and ap- parentfy possessed a good paying bus mess. So when he appeared at the bank one day about six months ago a note for s1,550 endorsed by F. Carl band, another prominent Swedish resident, he was given the amount the note called for. When it fell due, he renewed it and made a small payment upon it. Shortly afterwards he pre- sented note for s425 endorsed by Carlband and A. F. Wahlberg. Then followed a third supposedly endorsed by Wahlberg alone. This was for $185.
 The notes became due in course of time but every time Eager had them renewed and simply made small pay- ments. Finally after the notes had run for long time the cashier of the bank called the attention of one of the supposed endorsers to the fact that they had not decreased to any material extent, whereupon the man indignantly denied knowledge of their existence.
 Eager got wind of the turn of affairs and packing his belongings, made a quick getaway from the New Jersey town. He came to this city and ob- tained work as a painter. Detective Peltier succeeded in locating Eager and had the local authorities place him under arrest.
 When the two detectives informed Eager that he was to be taken into custody, he fell in a faint, but was soon revived. As news of his arrest spread among the Swedish residents with whom he had become intimately acquainted during his short stay here. many of them were surprised as he had been a devout attendant at the church. Rev. MT. Engstrom went to Perth Amboy yesterday, according to the New Jersey official, and visiting the prosecuting authorities, endeavor-
