ROOSEVELT NO STACKER;
ASKS ALL TO % DUTY

Mineola, y. Y, May @o.-Theodore
Roosevelt addressing several thou
sand of his Nassau county neigh
bors" at the fair grounds here today.
appealed to the wealthy among them
not to employ labor to heautify their
estates while the country is at war.
Lifting his hat and pointing to huge
American flag nearby he urged those
present TO come to the front i'm an
eager desire to serve with their
bodies, with every quality of their
souls and spirit and mind; with their
service, labor and military skill. and
not stand upon words. but in deeds
for the one nag that foats over us
that nag which holds in it's folds the
future glory of mankind" L.
Turning to the audience Mr. Roose-
welt declared If there was any man in
the country who has not prepared to
do everything in his power NOW
when the nation calls he had better
go away.
do not think i'm terms of self-sac-
rifce. but in terms Of service" he
said. 81 do not pity man who has
chance to risk his life for his coun-
try: envy him.
There must ho absolute and un-
divided loyalty to our Nag. The
vents of the past two years have
shown that no man can be any moro
loyal 10 two flags than to two wives.
The former president asserted that
universal service is a necessary
corrolary to universal suffrage"
i believe i'm suffrage" he said.
"but not for suffrage for any woman
Striking her duty and ! viii work for
the disfranchisemcut of any man or
woman who doesn't work in peace or
i'm war in amy service the government
may demand
We hear of course, of conscicu-
tious objections To lighting. I do not
ask any man to violate his conscience
but ! viii not stand for him violating
mine either If any man is too con-
Ii. aw mfd.tas-' etao tipebi hrda NH
scientious to fight he ought to take
his conscience out and look at it,, for
it is certainly sick
The first duty of a man, the colonel
added. is To be "a mans man-not
just a sexless creature who wants
somebody to night for him"
He urged those present, as Il pa
triotic duty, to subscribe for liberty
bonds
The bonds will be safe unless
Uncle Sam smashes up; and II the
United States smashes up we all will
be smashed up and it won't make any
difference whether the bonds be
good or bad"
The people, he declared, "can pre-
vent Wall street from financing the
lRoyernment" il they themselves will
finance the government
Every man and every woman who
complains because Wall street A.
nances the government" he continued.
"and then doesn't do his or her share
to finance the government has no
right to snarl at Wall street for doing
more nd being more patriotic than
you yourselves have been.

who comes to Clayton as one of the
Chautauqua attractions, He said,
The general impression as to " S.
Watkins who appeared here last
night seems to be that he put on the
best entertainment ha has ever been
in this town. His audience was all
interest from start to finish and
everyone was sorry when he had
finished, with his play Bought and
Paid For" It was enjoyed more b'
the audience. 1 think. than IL II had
been put on by the different charact-

TRAIN WRECKED.

However anomalous it may sound, the
statement that an Overland car wrecked
an L. & n train is simply fact.
Last Friday, at Copperhill, while No. 4.
was passing through, an automobile driven
by boy came out of a side street and
struck the moving train.
Our information is that the auto knock
ed the step off the engine and this fell un-
der the wheels of the first car il such
manner thst it was derailed. along with the
two coaches following
The train was delayed several hours and
a train had to be sent from Etowah to take
its place.
No one was injured, although several
were pretty badly shaken up.
The wreck was not cleared up until late
in the evening and the delay in traffic was
of no particular moment.
