WASH B! ROSBY oLD MEDAL - FLOUR 3 NI 4 M AY JUN Tt AND. NOVEMBER The Administration’s Specter. Doubtless, the most striking feature of the president’s journey has been the remerkable enthusiasm that has greet- ed the name of Roosevelt wherever ut- tered. The president himself has been received kindly, as becomes the occa- sion when a people receives its chosen head, but there bas been little vocifer. ous cordiality. To aruse his hearers to a high pitch of excitement, the pres- ident, was obliged but to mention the name of his predecessor in office. The result was invariably striking and immediate. Mere decent hospitality gave way to shrieking enthusiasm. Theodore Roosevelt’s hold upon the hearts and imaginations of the west and middle west has been proverbial. The president's long trip shows that it is also real. The wild applause that everywhere greeted the name of the last executive is suggestive of what would happen were he to return to America and throw himself into a con- test for national party leadership. The fact that President Taft shines by re- fleoted light must have become pain- fully apparent to himself. The president has returned te Wash- ington at a time whe nthe harmony of his administration is threatened and the peace of his official family in im. minent dang And in all these con- troversies, actual and foreshadewed, Theodore Roosevelt figures as an ele- ment in the discord. Turn where he will, Mr. Taft cannot escape the in- fluence of the man by w grace he occupies the present position as head of the nation.—Cleveland Plain Dealer, ind't dem. " COAL AND LUMBER.

The Herald’s Ottawa correspondent informed us on Saturday that Sir Wil. frid Laurier, the Canadian premier, had made a remark which must have discouraged those making a protest against the establishment of a Canadi- an branch of the royal navy. The correspondent adds that the ministry is disposed to proceed slowly in devel- oping this plan to gird both seacoasts with Canadian warships acting under orders from the British admiralty and commanded by British officers. It is good news, but must be receiv- ed with some doubt. We fear it is too late of talk of going slowly. Ad- miral Lord Charles Beresford and Lord Northcliffe have sown the dragon’s ‘teeth, leaving Canada to reap the crop. The government, so far uncom= mitted, js drifting navy.ward. It is true that Canada reveals a strong self-reliance, yet it has too oft- en yielded to “appeals” from the mother country to inspire hope against the navy plan, Undoubtedly there is a Canadian spirit, but it is a national spirit that has not yet “found” itself. It is difficult to recall when the im- perial government has made an un- usual demand or inflicted bitter dis. | appointment on Canada without thos demar being granted or the disap- pointment being loyally accepted. Now comes the most important step in the history of Canada since the formation of the Dominion. Canada is asked to spend millions each year, not in developing her tural re- sour nor in defending f (for she has no foe under the 8), but in augmenting the sea power of Great s there Is a change in senti- ment, Canada will do it t Then she will have lost her place as a peaceful country, onward toward her mag ating! on wills—a world upon her wr. his will be the sit- ion will be tied to al power of Great Britain, 1 is tied to Japan an the world.—New York berts of this intention of the tate is ¥ king his colle naval tee stitute one hip for the two sed.

The “semi-submarines,” so-called, whose substitution for dreadnoughts finds advocates, are really extra heav- ily armored monitors, so designed and plated as to expose a very low and impregnable freehoard to the enemy. The type will be given a trial at least, and if a vessel of this class carrying a few monster guns, hard-hitting but hard hit, comes up to the claims of | the promoters, there will be dread- noughts galore to go the same way as the old broadside ironclads to which the little monitors proved themselves superior.—Boston Transcript.

Making Point Judith an island is the first part of the plan for reviving the old Worcester-Providence canal. It de- pends on the proposal to cut a canal from™ Block Island sound to Narra- gansett bay, so that ships may avoid going around Point Judith to reach Providence from New York. The point is the buffet of the waves that come in from the Atlantic too fiercely for the comfort of the sailors of craft, and the small boats and heavy freighters have the most of their troubles off Point Judith. With that all cut out by means of a canal for dodging across country in back of the point, the ship- ping of Providence would be of more importance. That has been proposed in connection with the cutting of an ¢ >s of canals along the At- Boston to Florida. Now being talked of more seri- ously in Rhode Island. ‘When that canal is cut, as the plans are stated now, the freight boats will come through the Seekonk or Paw- tucket river to tidewater just below the city of Pawtucket, and there give up their loz to cars of the Moshassuck railroad. Then the cars will take the goods up e valley about five miles to Lonsdale, R. I, and there give them up to barges on the successor of the old Worcester canal. How the ex- pense of the unloading and the reload- ing is to be covered to make the cost of that kind of p less than the rail- road fre 1ts there is no explanation, but th must be something to it or the speculations in land down that way along the banks of the Blackstone river would not be going on s0 smooth- ly.

PERRY & BROWN, Putnam ‘Washington, Nov. 22.—Preparations are being made for four hundred ma- rines to sail from Philadelphia, eith- er for the Canal zone or for Nicaragua next Saturday. This will constitute the first armed force to land in Nic- aragua, if developments in the situa- tion there within the next few days require such a course. All wil' de- pend upon the action to be taken by the state department, which is mark- ing time, pending the receipt of addi- tional details of the execution of the two Americans, Groce and Cannon. Rush Orders to League Island Navy Yard. The departure of the mMnea comes as the result of rush orders sent to the League Island navy yard, after the state department received the pre- liminary report of the slaying by Pres- ident Zelaya's orders of the two men. It had been intended to send the ma- rines to Panama to relieve about 380 marines now on duty there. The date of departure from Philadelphia had been set for December 3, by which time the troop ship Prairie would have been ready to sail. By working night and day the League Island force will be able to finish repairs on the ship by November 27 and that date has now been set for the sailing of the marines. Secretary Meyer of the mavy de- partment will go to Philadelphia on Friday to review them as he intended to do even before war clouds appeared in Central America. What Can Be Done in Event of Neces- sity. In event of necessity, the 380 ma- rines now on the canal zome could be utilized in Nicaragua in addition CHESTNUT PEST Destroying Trees Which Might as Well Be Turned Into Lumber. Reports received at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment station in New Haven show that the chestnut tree pest which has killed many thou- sand trees in the southwestern part of the state has been found in Torring- ton, Litchfield county, a county in which the chestnut trees are uncom- monly abundant. This appears to be the northernmost part of the state in which it has thus far been discovered. The pest has reached nearly every town in Fairfield county, the greatest sufferers being Stamford, Greenwich, Ridgefield and Danbury. Rather than see his holdings go to waste, the farmer will at the last mo- ment sell for a good round sum his forest which is gradually dying and which in a few years would be of no use. The owner of the sawmill enters, and the trees are cut into railroad ties, posts, etc., and shipped to the larger markets. Thus employment is given to many, and the trees, which is a few years would be of no value, are turned into marketable material, from which all obtain more or less benefit, Premier Stolypin is reported to have said recently to the editor of a Rus- sian newspaper: “Give the country twenty years quiet at home and abroad and you will not know the Russia of today.” This, no doubt, has reference to the recuperative power of the empire, which is unquestionably great under favorable conditions. Rus- sia’s foreign relations are sufficient- ly quiet and are likely to remain so for some time to come as a result of her impoverishment in the war with Japan. Her internal affairs also might remain quiet if her government would treat the people fairly. But if a mur- derous policy toward the Jews is to be continued there will be a continu- ing threat of turbulence, and there is no knowing how serious the conse- quences will be. It is for Russia to decide whether or not she shall have twenty years of quiet at home. There will always be a risk in trying to con- ceal, instead of ending, a rule of per- secution, oppression and outrage.— Rochester Democrat. In eighteenth-century English the fashionable woman headdress often had to be left untouched for weeks at a time. Nov. 27 Now Set as Date for Sailing of Aflhed Forces for Nicaragua PR to the 400 to be taken south by the Prairie. With the troop ship Buffalo on the Pacific coast and the Prairie on the Atlantic, the marines could be transferred from one coast to the other of Nicaragua in a comparatively short time, by way of the Panama railroad. Many Rear Admirals at Navy Depart- ment. Rear admirals galore were at the navy department today, but in no in- stance was it admitted that their pres- ence there had to do with the trouble in Nicaragua. Rear Admiral Schroe- der, commander of the Atlantic fleet, had a talk with Assistant Secretary ‘Winthrop before Secretary Meyer re- turned to the department from Bos- ton. Rear Admiral Wainwright, com- mandant of the third division of the same fleet, had a long conference with IM‘N Msms v-li-n-. g "1:..,‘":4 T.F BHRNS Heating and Plumhmg. o J2 Franklin Street. S.'F.

It was stated today at the navy de- partment that the shallow waters along Nicaragua on the Atlantic coast made the sending of a battleship there useless and such action is not con- templated. Preparations are being made by the navy for any emergency, but it was denied that rush orders had been given for the completion of re- pairs on such vessels as the Paducah and the Dubuque. It was admitted, however, that the Albany and the Yorktown would remain for the pres- ent in Magdalefa bay. It had been generally understood that they were about to be ordered north. HER HAIR WAS TOO LONG. So Little Boy Decided to Take His Sister to the Barber Shop. An amusing incident occurred in Connell's Inn barber shop several days ago, according to The Torrington Reg- ister. A little boy of about five years of age entered the shop leading a lit- tle girl about two years old. All the barbers were engaged at the time so the two children sat down to wait. ‘When one of the barbers had finish~ ed he called next, and the little fellow came forward leading the girl. He ex- plained to the barber that his sister’s hair was too long and that he wanted it cut off. He sald that his mother also wanted it dene. Accordingly the little girl was lifted into one of the chairs and the barber began to cut the hair. He had pretty nearly completed the work when a woman rushed into the shop. She proved to be the mother of the two children. She had been looking for them. On seeing her little daughter in the barber’s chair having her hair cut off the mother became distracted. It developed that the idea of trim- ming the little girl’s hair originated with the brother, who evidently did not approve of such adornment. As the barber had proceeded so far with the operation, he was permitted to com- plete it. llD“'§ THIS!
