Logansport, Ind., April 4.—At the teachers’ convention, which met here, President Starr Jordon of Leland Stanford University was the star at- traction. After the lecture he was the center of a group of listeners, with whom he discussed current poli- tics freely. He very much opposed the Filipino war and declared that he would vote for Bryan now, al- though he did not in 1896. He was asked: “Is it Bryan’s or McKinley's view that is gaining favor among the peo- | DEWEY WILLING. Authoritative Through New York World. New York, April George Dewe} didate for president. He authorizes the New York World that after mature reflection and in response to the earnest under any circum- the presidency is mer decision, not. stances to run for rescinded. A World staff correspondent saw the Admiral at his home in Washing- ton, 1747 Rhode Island avenue, last evening, when the following interview took place: Admiral, in view of the many con- flicting reports relative to your at- titude toward a nomination for the presidency, will you make a state ple?” “After jall this talk, do you ask what I think?” he replied, ‘let me quote you Roosevelt on that. He said to me last week: “Jordan, I wish to God we were out of the Philippines and had them off our hands,’ and many republicans are thinking the same. 1 am free to quote Roosevelt because I consider him in many respects one of the great- est men in the republican party.” “How do you size up President Mckinley?” “Let{me quote you Mr. again. He said: “‘MeKinley has about much backbone toy chocolate man that you see on the confectioner’s stand; he isa dreadful disappoint- ment.’ ”” “What do you think of President Shurman’s report on the Philip- pines ?”” “Shurman is a good man, but he is essentially an aristocrat, aud an sris- tocrat cannot make a government for the masses.”’ Roosevelt as as a@ Philippine Suicides. The long record of insanity and sui- cide among the American troops in the Philippines does not bear out the representations from administration sources that the climate of these is- lands is salubrious, and that the in- surrection is so nearly suppressed that very little work remains for the American troops. Statisticians who have considered the problem assert that the rate of suicide in the American army in the Philippines is unprecedented in the army annals. From the commencement of Ameri- ean activity inthe Philippines, May 1, 1898, to the present there have eighty-three suicides in the army, almost all due te insanity. Since Dec. 1, 1899, twenty- nine officers and enlisted men have committed suicide in the Philippines, a rate of almost three a week. At present there are confined in the St. Elizabeth hospital for the insane, the government asylum at Washing- ton, 150 patients who became insane in the Philippines, and each transport that brings troops back from the Philippines adds to the number. The deaths by suicide, as chroni- cled in General Otis’ casualty reports sometimes outnumber the deaths in action. This frequent dethronement of reason can be attributed only to an impairment of physical vigor, due to the hardships of camp or campaign, or to the fevers and ailments of the climate. These deplorable do much to explain the devout exelama- tion which Prof. David Starr Jordan Tedits to Roosevelt of New York: “Would to God we were out of the Philippines and had them safely off our hands!"*—St. Louis Republic. been American conditions Governor Hay Protests to Turkey. Washington, April 5.—Secretary Hay has addressed a vigorous pro- test to the Turkish government against the proposed application of an edict excluding American pork from Turkey. The note enters an emphatic denial of the pretense of the unwholesomeness set up.against our pork as a basis for the exclusion, and pointedly makes it necessary for the Turkish government to support its contention by adequate evidence before it can enforce the edict with out serious results. The officials here are confident, as the result of the complete failures of the German health officers to make good such as- eertions respecting our meats, that the Turkish government can make no better showing. | ment, through the World, to the country?” “Ves: T realize that the time has arrived when I must definitely define my position. When I arrived in this country last September I said then that nothing would induce me to be a candidate for the presidency Since then, however, I have had the leisure and inclination to study the matter and have reached a different conclusion, inasmuch many assurances have come tome from my countrymen that I would be accepta- candidate for this great as 80 ble as a Office.

It is the highest honor in the gift of this nation; what citizen would refuse Since studying this subject, 1 am convinced that the office of the presi- dent is not such a difficult one to fill, his duties being mainly to execute the laws of congress. Should I be chosen for this exalted position I would execute the laws of congress as faithfully as I have orders of my always executed the superiors “Is there any political significance in your trip west?” asked the World correspondent: “No, Lam simply filling theengage- ments made months ago—long before lever thought seriously of the presi- dency.” “On what platform will youstand? “T think I have said enough at this time, and possibly too much.” It will be recalled that Dewey said, upon his return from Manila: don’t think anybody knows my poli- tics.” Democracy Will Win.

The trusts have pared wages to the laborer. They have put up prices to the public. Not one man in the land but has felt them gnawing at his substance. Look about you and behold in sundry instances the work of trusts. Bryan and democracy owe such as Rockfeller and Standard Oil a debt of gratitude. The Standard Oil outrages in the Coeur d’ Alene have given Idaho to the democracy. Also they have flowed the wholecurrent of the miner vote into the sluices of the Bryan party from ocean to ocean. Standard Oil effered Monett, Ohio’s attorney-general, $400,000 as a bribe. Monett refused it and brought the attempted corruption to the no- tice of the court.

Aye! of a AMERICAN NAVY. The American navy now holds fifth place as to size and efficiency when compared with the other navies of world. There is no popular objection to an increase of the navy. This condition of affairs is natural and fully justified. A standing army is always a menace to a republic, while a large navy is not at alla menace, but onthe other hand isa protection. Therefore, an increase of the num- ber of American batteships is ap- proved by most Americans. As for the rating of the nations in naval strength, England stands in the first place with, counting ships built and building, 70 battle. ships and 162 cruisers; France sec- ond with 35. battleships and 74 cruisers ; Russia third with 24 battle- ships and 26 cruisers. Italy is cred- ited with 19 battleships and 27 cruis- ers, but the fighting efficiency of her navy and ships is such an unknown quantity that she may be excluded from the comparison. Under the plans prepared by the naval bureau, the United States navy will have, including vessels afloat, building, _— and authorized, within four years, 18 battleships, 12 large cruisers, 23 small cruisers and 7 coast defense vessels, or a tota’ tonnage of fighting craft of 468,000 tons. Our rank as a naval power at present is fifth, or next below Ger- many. If the present plans of the United States and Germany shall be carried out without change, the United States will soon displace Germany and take the fourth place; but if the ambitious naval program which the German emperor is now trying to force through the reichstag shall be adopted the United States will remain in fifth place. But before congress accepts the sug- gestions of the naval bureau it should order that all the work possible on the ships should be done at the goy- ernment navy yards. There should also be esti ablished a governmental armor-making plant and the robber Carnegie company ruled out because of its unpatriotic conduct and outrageous prices.—Chi- cago Dispatch.
