THE MAN OF THE HOUR.
(From Yesterdays Journal.

(From Yesterdays JournaL)
The State Journal will stay with
Colonel Roosevelt even if he receives
and accepts the presidential nominal
ton of only one of the conventions
now meeting in Chicago.
This is an Independent newspaper.
We Republicans and others can ut
ter our most emphatic and effective
protest only through Theodore Roose-
Welt, as standard bearer and presi-
dent, against the loss of American
lives and property and the loss of our
honor and respect and high standing
among the nations of Europe ard the
world, which has been brought about
by the weak and wabbling words. pol
icies and actions of our wel1-meaning
but unfortunate and wavering presi-
dent, Woodrow Wilson.
If the Progressive party alone nom
mates Roosevelt it will become the
American party of patriotism and pre-
paredness.
It will become the party for the
protection of our people and indus
tries.
And it will draw to it men and
women from all parties to assert
American manhood and womanhood;
to restore our lost self-respect at
home; to revivify confidence in our
government at home and abroad; and
to save US from the domestic turmoil
now threatened and the dangerous sit
uations into which President Wilson
has unwillingly plunged US with Mexi-
leo and Germany.
We need a man of experienced
craftsmanship and tried diplomacy; a
man known and respected at home
and abroad among all the great world
powers who know him as the man
who kept us at peace and made peace
between Russia and Japan.
The apostle of a square deal for
America and Europe, for Asia and
Africa, and whose administration of
seven years in the presidential office
elevated the standard of humanity
and Justice
Theodore Roosevelt, the Create
American and the greatest exponent
of true advanced and time honored
Republican principles.
This stands.

Pin Prick DuelS.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

| ClevernesS is often dangerous. The
eleverness, for instance, that does
| things so easily that it never learns to
| DO thOm thoroughly.
A great art teacher once said to a
young pupil whose work he was see
ing for the first time: "How clover
you are." And then, "And how 1 can
| lift you out of your cleverneSSi"
| But it is another sort of cleverness
whose dangers I am thinking of just
now, the cleverness of sharp repartee
among housemates. md especially
among married folks.
You know what l meal; you must
have sometimes been in a home '. here
the housemates made a habit of Civ
inS each other half testing, half seri-
Gus little digs, and where all the rest
were quick to laugh at the expense
of the one defeated in this duel of
LIN pricks-
Perhaps you've even -.ved in such
home without thinking much about
| it. But come, now, think of it, and
tell ne-after all, is this sort of
cleverness worth while? Isn't it, in
fact, quite the reverse?
once knew two people who started
out in welded life by loving each
other very dearly. And I use that
great word love advisedly, for their
| feeling for each other was not merely
infatuation, it was founded on the
firm basis of congeniality, and made
up of mutual respect and friendship
and tenderness all welded together
and fused into love by sex attraction.
They had wonderful chance of being
very happy, and for a time they
were. But by and by something
crept between them. 1t wasn't an
other man and it wasn't another
woman, it was just this internal habit
of saying sharp things to each other,
of criticising each others little faults
| in public, of sarcastic comments on
his part and nagging on hers.
Many of the things were said APP
parently in jest but the sting within
the jest went home for all that
No, there was no other man nor
| they weren't heart whole, far from
it-for the heart of each was pierced
with u hundred little pin prickS of
taunt and complaint and sarcasm.
I shall never forget one miserable
evening that 1 spent there toward the
last. The duel of pin pricks went on
as usual until suddenly, after some
thing his wife had said, the husband
| turned on her in open rage. She was
| thunderstruck. What have said to
deserve that ?'' she protested. And in
deed her last speech had been nothing
ply that each prick had gone a little
deeper and left the surface of the
heart more sensitive and the last prick
had proved uncomfortable.
They are divorced now, poor, fool
ish folks. and as unhappy apart as
they were together. And they might
be SO happy if they hadn't been so
clever.
If you want to be clever, why not
turn your cleverness into graceful,
kindly repartee? Anyone can say
sharp things that are amusing. 1t
! takes an infinite deal of cleverness to
make gracious, witty speech. And
/ the flush of pleasure and gratitude is
far pleasanter to see than the flush of
resentment and hurt. If you don't
believe me try it and see.-(Protect-

PERSONAL LEGISLATION.

The ultimate in this direction seems
to have been achieved by Mr.. Hay,
the chairman of the house commit
tee on military affairs. And it appears
to be as indefensible a piece of law
making as it is a masterpiece of
spoils- gathering, or making comfort
able provision for one of the faith
full" The effrontery of the effort,
too, is no less remarkable.
AS the administration army bill was
emerging from the conference COM
mittee. and while only its important
provisions were attracting attention,
this section or clause was inserted in
it:
Provided, further, that of the va
cancies created in the Judge Advo-
Gates department by this Act, one
such vacancy, not below the rank of
major, shall be filled by the appoint
ment of a. person from civil life, not
less than forty-five nor more than
fifty years of age, who shall have
been for ten years judge of the su-
preme court of the Philippine Islands,
shall have served for two years as !;
captain in the regular or volunteer
army, and shall be proficient in the
Spanish language and laws
These are such specific provisions

AN INTRACTABLE BEAR.

In all probability, the growl of the
great Russian Bear to the effect that
he is determined to continue his end
of the European war for twenty years
if that be necessary in order that the
goals he has in mind shall be won, is
quite as disturbing to the other powers
in the Entente alliance as it is to Ger
many and her allies; perhaps, more so.
Without the aid that Russia has given
the cause of the Entente Allies would
have been lost long ago. And they
are going to have a difficult time to
placate her when the time for arrang-
ing the peace terms arrives, providing,
of course, the Entente Allies dictate
these terms. Nothing that savors of
sop will satisfy Russia this time. But
the growI of the Russian bear is likely
to be more ominous than his bite.
Russia has resources of men that are
almost without limit. Mere men, how
ever, cannot carry on a modern war
by themselves. And Russia is almost
solely dependent for the other and
more essential sinews of war on Eng
land and France.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-06-10

that there wouldn't be SO many men
in civil life who could qualify for ap-
pointment to this place, a rather lu-
crative one, too, as it will carry with it
not less than the regular pay of a
major in the army.
AS a matter of fact, there is only
one citizen of the whole United States
who can meet the requirements of the
provision in the army bill quoted
above.
He happens to be Judge Adam e.
Carson, of the supreme court of the
Philippine Islands, who IS now on
leave of absence in this country.
Judge Carson is a Democrat, of
course, and Furthermore his home is
at Riverton. Va, which is most stra-
logically located for the time being.
1t nestles in the congressional district
that James Hay, the chairman of the
house committee on military affairs,
represents in congress.
Thus It IS our army is being en-
larged and rebuilt so that it may be
more efficient.

kinds of sport and particularly on fish

the Lebanon Times, and it goes on:
while in quest of news he heard
some one remark that he had caught
% fish out of the pond east of town.
He Immediately took to his domicile
and from the recesses of the attic and
sheds brought forth all the fish tackle
he could muster and set out for the
dam. After six hours under the hot
sun without a nibble, he came to town

Here's an exceedingly tough
Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner
for somebody, it would appear. The
AthoI Record states than an auto
going at a thirty-five mile clip hit one
of Ray Taylors turkeys a few days
ago, and a remarkable performance
took place. The bird hit the wind
shield, smashed it into fragments and
passed on over the seats and through
the back curtain, alighting on the
ground unhurt- The driver of the car
was Orval Jones of Cora township.
Had that turkey hit Orval it isn't like
ly he would be able even yet to tell
about it.

A half a loaf is always better than
none. And so there probably won't be
much complaining over the woman's
suffrage plank that is a part of the
Republican party's platform for 1916.
1t is an emphatic endorsement of the
principle of woman suffrage. even If
it does declare, to the regret of the
national suffrage enthusiasts, that the
question is one for the states to settle
individually and not for the federal
government to act upon. This suf-
frage plank in the Republican plat
form, though, is considerable progress
for the cause of woman's rights 1t is
the first time that either of the major
political parties in this country has
endorsed unqualifiedly the principle
at issue in the woman's suffrage ques-
ton.

Probably it was news to not a few
folk that these United States has a
force of 1900 infantrymen and $50
marines on duty in China that is
ready to start for Picking, and may
have already started in that direction
by this time, to see TO it that any dis
orders in the Chinese capital that may
follow tie death of Yuan Shi Kai will
not result disastrously to the lives or
property of the Americans officially
stationed there or who may be living
there on their own hook. On the
same day that this news about the
activity of American soldiers in China
was reported, there came news from
Durango City, Mexico, of riot there
by Mexican revolutionists during
which the American consulate was
burned and the American flag dragged
through the streets. 1t also happens
that the United States has a military
force on duty in Mexico these days.
But has any part of it been ordered to
Durango City to protect American
lives and property there? No, indeed,
the United States force in Mexico is
merely ''watchfully waiting" now
adays. And why one policy for China
as we'll as Haiti and San Domingo, and
another for Mexico?

dulged in a second thought as they are
not so enthusiastic as they were over
the fact that they had but one life to

committed against others. At any
rate, an appeal for new trial has
been filed in this famous case and it
will stay for considerable time the

heartily only little while back.
