Gilson Gardner, unquestionably the best- informed and most influential of the Washington correspondents, and a close personal friend of Roosevelt, says that “just now Theodore Roosevelt is favorable to the nomination of Hiram W. John- son of California as the progressive party's candi- date for president in 1916,” But, Gardner says, Roosevelt may change his mind as political conditions change. Others, claiming to possess inside information, say, when the time comes to declare himself, the colonel will come out for Root. Nobody believes Roosevelt will be so foolish as:to be himself a candidate The colonel is an astute politician. He traveling, about the country. He is interviewing progressive leaders everywhere, as he did Sunday in Seattle. He is pumping others dry, and he isn’t saying a word himself. When a politician with Roosevelt's fondness for the sound of his own voice is willing to keep silent and think while others talk, he will bear watching. So, again, keep an eye on “T. R.” is PRESIDENT WILSON is going to put punch in his next note to Germany. It probably will call forth another cry from Bryan. He is against punch in any form. NOTES HAVING failed to budge the kaiser, Wilson might try writing a letter. = « OAR STAR—MONDAY, JULY 19, 1915 BRYAN’S WILLFUL CORPSE sie Ui late Mr. Bryan” says an Eastern news- paper in a headline, assuming that the late Mr. Bryan is politically dead. Well, mebbe He has made another mistake and perhaps he has in fact gone to the boneyard. But we can’t help remembering at least six separate occasions during the past 20 years when Bryan “killed him- self politically.’ And since he was first killed politically in 1896, he has headed the party ticket tor president twice and dictated the nominee. We never heard of such an onery corpse as Bill's corpse. It refuses to stay dead. A BIG MAN IN OUR MIDST OHN M. SLATON, former governor of Georgia, who commuted Leo Frank’s sentence from death to life imprisonment—thereby, as he sup- poses, committing political suicide—is a guest at a Seattle hotel. Political soothsayers in Slaton’s home state, which has cast him out, are prophesying that, when the Georgians have recovered from their blind pas- sion of hatred, largely inspired by anti-Semitic feeling, they will recognize Slaton’s courage and greatness and that he will be the big man in the State. Slaton is already recognized as a big man— EVERYWHERE BUT IN GEORGIA, So, PAGE 4. WHEN IS A RAINCOAT A MACKINTOSH? EDITOR THE STAR: Are all raincoats’ mackintoshes, and why are raincoats called mackintoshes? RUFUS, All raincoats are not mackintoshes. Water- proof coats made of a certain combination of cloth and rubber are called mackintoshes be- cause the man who discovered that India rubber and cloth could be combined to make a. water- proof fabric was named MclIntosh—Charles Mc- Intosh, a chemist who lived in Scotland almost 100 years ago. Ordinary cloth, you know, is porous, that is, it is filled with little pores or holes, through which rain easily soaks. McIntosh discovered that India rubber could be dissolved in naphtha, and that the solution would fill the holes or pores in cloth and make it rainproof. Raincoats made from this waterproof cloth are called mackintoshes. WHERE IT PINCHES HE German-Austrian organs, which have been so bittérly denouncing Uncle Sam for the sale of arms to the allies, must be a trifle disconcerted at the capture by the Italian forces, of a lot of Mauser rifles stamped ‘Mexicana Republica.” These rifles, it is stated, were manufactured in Austria for Huerta at the time he expected war with this country.
