THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUX-TELEGRA5I. FRIDAY, AUGITST 9, 191.

SPEECH OF WILSON A DISAPPOINTMENT Progressives Aroused Over His Remarks. Pleasing to Murray Crane. "WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 9. Louis Ludlow In a Washington dispatch to the Indianapolis Star this morning, says: Progressives in both branches of congress are aroused over Governor Woodrow Wilson's speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination. It is a keen disappointment to most of them, although some who want to be regular will not admit at this early date that their hopes have been dashed by this first deliverance of the candidate. As a matter of fact, however, the speech has fallen like a wet blanket on the Progressives of both of the old parties. Members of the national Progressive party believe the speech will bring the country up standing to a realization of the truth of Col. Roosevelt's assertion that the people can ot hope for relief from either of the old parties, because both are dominated by bosses and agents of the privileged classes, who play into each other's hands so that the "interests" always win and the people always lose. Shows Conservatism. Reading between the lines of Governor Wilson's speech, pondering upon its glittering generalities and its very vagueness, taking into consideration that it is tempered all the way through with superlative caution and evidences of ingrained conservatism, the Progressives believe that even a blind man ought to detect that while Governor Wilson has all along posed as a progressive since he entered politics, he is, in fact, tied to the same old reactionary combination that has long ruled both parties and that is driving disgusted Americans by the hundreds of thousands into the new Progressive party. The comments, both of. the politicians and the press in the eastern part of the country, show how well Governor Wilson has pleased the reactionaries by this keynote deliverance. They are convinced now that he can be" "trusted;" in other words, that he will not do anything, if elected President, to disturb old-time governmental grafts and vested privileges. The plutocratic press of New York city hails the speech today with unanimous and glad acclaim. It puts Wilson on a pedestal with Jefferson and Washington. One of the most commendatory editorials is printed in the New York Sun, organ of great Wall street interests, which felicitates the country that tariff revision will be "safe" in Governor Wilson's hands. "Splendid," Says Crane. Senator Murray Crane, who is the sentinel on the watchtower to warn the tariff barons of danger, said today that he regarded Wilson's keynote as "a splendid speech." It was highly satisfactory, also, to Senator Pearose. The very great pleasure which it gave to the standpatters and reactionaries, who are nominally backing President Taft, left no doubt in the minds of politicians who understand the drift of things that if Col. Roosevelt shows up such strength as makes him look like a winner in the presidential contest, all of these reactionary leaders will desert Taft and try to throw the election to Wilson. That Governor Wilson's speech is calculated to encourage that trend of thought is hinted in well-informed circles. That Governor Wilson did not hit off the Progressive sentiment and the thought of the country at all is almost the universal comment among the genuine Progressives here. Their view is that if this carefully prepared keynote speech is to be taken as a criterion he has no conception whatever of what real progressivism is. "It is a slick, shrewd speech," said Representative George W. Norris, the Nebraska Progressive, "but there is nothing to it except glittering generalities." Shows Need of New Party. The important lesson to be derived from the speech, as the Progressives view it, is that it shows absolutely the need of a new party that stands for actual progress. That Governor Wilson is flirting with the Progressives, while at the same time preparing to serve the reactionaries if elected, is the impression made by his spech. The Democratic national committee evidently was afraid the speech might not set well with the masses of Progressives, for the committee sent out telegrams to fifty Democratic leaders, mainly well-known Progressives, asking them to wire back their opinions of the speech. One of the early replies came from W. J. Bryan and haste was made to give it to the public. Senator John W. Kern's reply, telegraphed to Democratic national headquarters today, follows: "Governor Wilson's address presents clearly and concisely his conception of the great work that is before the Democratic party, of which he is the leader. It is in harmony with the progressive sentiment of the times and yet is reassuring to the legitimate business interests of the country." An Indiana progressive Democratic member of congress voiced his disgust with Governor Wilson's speech by saying: "It strikes a mighty small progressive note when there is so much thunder around."

The

Scrap Book i Beyond ths Judge's Control. "The courtroom has Its fun as well as Its tragedy," once observed William Travers Jerome. "Sometimes the hu mor is not as appreciable to the principal actors as to an outsider, as in the case 1 once attended in a New England court where a slander trial was on. "T h e principal witness was an impetuous old Irishwoman. She talked so fast that the Judge was unable to follow her testimony, especially as it was "old woman, shut delivered in the up!" broadest of brogues. In vain he attempted to stop her. " 'Stop, stop!' he cried, rapping sharply on his desk. But the torrent of words continued as before. 'Old woman, shut up!' he shouted in exasperation, but to no avail. The old lady was determined to have her say. Finally the unhappy judge threw down his pen and yelled to the lawyer: '"There. Mr. Murdock! You set her a-going. Now stop her!' " Lippineott's. Love Much. Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it. Cast sweets into its cup whene'er you can. No heart so hard but love at last may win it. Love is the grand primeval quest of man.

'Tis love, no creeds, that from a low condition Leads mankind up to heights supreme and grand. Oh, that tha world could see and understand! His Ambition. Acton Davies, the dramatic critic, tells a story of Oliver Ilerford. the humorist. Herford never had a serious thought in his life. "Herford sat next to a soulful poetess at dinner one night," Davies relates, "and that dreamy one turned her sad eyes upon him. 'Have you no other ambition, Mr. Herford,' she demanded, 'than to force people to degrade themselves by laughter?' Yes, Herford had an ambition a whale of an ambition. Some day he hoped to gratify it. The woman rested her elbows on the ta "tell me about it." ble and propped her face in her long, sad hands and glowed into Mr. Herford's eyes. 'Oh, Mr. Herford.' she said 'Oliver, tell me about it.' " 'I want to throw an egg into an electric fan,' said Herford simply." A Salute Returned. It was the last music lesson before the Christmas holidays, and the children had been thinking more about the coming festivities than about their studies, so it had been rather unsatisfactory. "Well, children," said the supervisor as he was about to leave, "I wish you all a merry Christmas, and I hope that when you return after the holidays you will have more music in your heads than you have today." Without a moment's hesitation came the reply from forty little urchins, "The same to you, Mr. Browning." Let Him into a Secret. A prominent member of the London Stock Exchange was a man who enjoyed his wine and always took great care of it when he happened to pick up a choice vintage. While living in a fashionable quarter of the west end he chanced to buy a large cask of very fine old port, which he placed at the extreme end of his cellar, and to make perfectly sure that it should not be touched he had a wall built across the cellar and so closed it in. It was about a year or two later that one evening he accepted an invitation to dine with his next door neighbor when the latter brought out some very fine old port. Several glasses having been drunk, the man of stocks and shares asked his host where he could get some port like it. "Well, old fellow." returned the other, "I will let you into a secret. I was having some alterations made in my cellar lately when we discovered that some old fol who lived in this house before me had built a wall round a large cask of port and forgotten all tbout it. This is some of it, but I am afraid there isn't much left." His Losses. ! A prominent Washington official was lunching at the Metropolitan club when he saw one of his society friends sitting near by and looking gloomy and disconsolate. "What's the matter. Sam?" called out the official. "Nothing much," sighed the saddened Sam. "only I took too much to drink yesterday. 1 lost a pair of glasses, a cane, a raincoat and a reputation." Washington Star. A Smoke Inspector. A Chicago politician imported bis cousin from the old country and had him appointed a smoke inspector. This was in the old days. He was turned loose to Inspect without any instruction whatever, and this is the report he rendered at the end of the first month: "I certify that I have Inspected the smoke of this city for the thirty days past. I find plenty of smoke and same is apparently of god quality. Respectfully suomltted."-Juittsburgh Post.

ANNUAL WAR GAME TO OPEN TOMORROW Regulars and Guardsmen and the Navy to Participate in Maneuvers. (National News Association) NEW YORK, Aug. 9. The great war game, which will constitute the instructive feature at this year's field manoeuvres of the Eastern militia, and for which the Federal Government has appropriated nearly $1,000,000, is ready to begin on schedule time tomorrow. Not only has war between the United States and some powerful foreign nation been theoretically declared but the enemy is supposed to have defeated the Atlantic fleet of the United States, "bottled up" the surviving warships in Hampton Roads and effected a successful landing of 100,000 invaders near New Bedford, Mass., with the intention of invading and occupying New York. In accordance with the theoretical history of the imaginary events preceding the actual beginning of the war game, the invading army drove back the American army and forced it to concentrate near Boston. In an engagement supposed to have been taken place on August 5, the American troops were defeated and compelled to

retire via Worcester, toward Albany, its new base, vigorously pursued by the enemy. In the meantime the enemy pushed one of its divisions westward to obtain control of all important Junction points along the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in Connecticut and to cut off the water supply of New York City. Today, on the day before the beginning of the war game, the enemy is supposed to have begun the landing of a second expedition of 100,000 men at New Bedford. The first hostile expedition passed through Worcester in pursuit of the main body of the American troops retiring on Springfield. The American troops near New York City are supposed to be rushed toward Danbury and Bridgeport, while a detachment of the hostile army took possession of Waterbury. The enemy is supposed to be hampered in its advance toward New York by the scarcity of rolling stock, concentrated in Boston and New York City and by some secondary American naval craft on the Hudson, ready to interfere with transportation over the shore line of the N. Y., N. H. & H. Railroad. Big Fighting Force. Such, in brief, is supposed to be the situation tomorrow, when the great war game, in which the New England militia, about eight thousand strong, supported by about 2,000 men of the regular army, including infantry, cavalry and artillery, will represent the "Red" of invading army, while the militia of New York and New Jersey, also supported by regulars, will represent the defensive force, will begin in all seriousness to continue for ten days. In all there will be more than twenty-thousand men in the field at this year's manouvres, including the regulars, being the 5th U. S. infantry, the 10th U. S. cavalry, composed of colored troopers, and two batteries of the 3d U. S. field artillery. Brigadier General Tasker H. Bliss, who so ably handled the Red and Blue war game in southeastern Massachusetts in 1909, and who is in command of the Eastern Division will have general charge of the campaign. He will have his headquarters at Bridgeport and will have the assistance of 30 majors and captains from the regular army, and the 1st and 2nd regiments of cavalry. The "Red" or invading army will be under the command of Major General Frederick A. Smith, now in command of the Department of Missouri. The primary object of the manoeuvre being the instruction of the organized militia, a large number of officers of the regular army have been detailed to act as observers, umpires and instructors of the militia taking part in the war game. Each organization of the militia of the size of a battalion will have at least one Regular officer as instructor during the whole campaign. The entire campaign has been planned with a view to giving all the organizations taking part an opportunity for reconnaissance work, scouting and contact with the enemy. The troops will be kept busy every day, making and breaking camp, marching skirmishing, reconnoitering, etc., and the task will not be an easy one in view of the fact that the line of attack will be unusually long, extending practically from the southern line of Massachusetts to New York City. Presumably the less densely settled por tions of the State of Connecticut will form the principal seat of the imaginary war. Ample provisions have been made for the feeding of the troops in the field and ambulance, signal and hospital corps will accompany both armies through their various operations in the field, as they naturally would in case of an actual war.

RICHMOND WON AGAIN K. I. O. Leaguers Best West Baden Again 5 to 2.

(National News Association) WEST BADEN, Ind., Aug. 9. Richmond took another game from the fast Plutos yesterday at Sprudel park by the score of 5 to 2. Vordenberg, the Cincinnati pitcher the K. I. O. leaguers brought as an auxiliary pitcher to help out Betts and Johnson proved a puzzle to the locals, being touched for only five bits. Gillard, pitching for the Plutos was hit ten times, helping Richmond to score their 5 runs. In each of the three games of the series Richmond has made five runs, winning twice and losing once.

MEMORIAL UNVEILED (National News Association) COLUMBUS, Miss., Aug. 9 A handsome monument erected in memory of the Confederate soldiers of Lowndes County was unveiled here today with impressive exercises. Governor Brewer of Mississippi delivered the principal oration. The other speakers included Mrs. S. E. F. Rose, president of the Mississippi division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy; Gen. E. T. Sykes, commander of the department of Tennessee of the United Confederate Veterans, and Blewett Lee of Chicago, son of the late Gen. Stephen D. Lee. IS MUCH IMPROVED The condition of John Alexander, city car wreck victim, who has been confined at the hospital since the wreck, is very satisfactory. Despite his advanced age, his injuries are much improved and it is believed he will be strong enough to be removed to his home in a few weeks. BUYING A VASE. W Wertheimer's Clever Coup by Which He Secured the Prize. The late Charles Wertheimer when asked on one occasion what be considered to be his astutest business coup thought for awhile and then told how once when be was walking through a Brighton square he espied through an open window what be knew to be a priceless Chinese vase. He went to the nearest postoffice, examined a local directory and found the name of the resident. Then be called and asked for the gentleman and was shown into the study under the name of "Hamilton." He briefly explained that be was looking for a modest bouse in Brighton and bad taken a fancy to this one. Would the gentleman entertain an offer for the place as it stood "lock, stock and barrel?" The owner, a little nonplused, hesitated. "If your offer is reasonable," interrupted Hamilton, 1 will give you an extra thousand." "Call tomorrow at 10:30. then," replied the owner. Hamilton did and found him prepared to accept f 18.000 for the twentytwo years' unexpired term and the contents of the residence. Although this was well over market value, Hamilton at once closed, adding the extra thousand, according to promise. As. however, he afterward sold the vase for 35.000, his coup was unmistakable. London Telegraph. WHISTLER THE FIGHTER. The Artist Always Took His Revenges In a Refined Way. In "Whistler as I Knew Him" Mortimer Menpes, the author, has a good deal to say about Whistler the fighter and his quickness In resenting an affront. He is careful to add that Whistler was always refined in his methods: While be was severe be was not actually brutal. He never treated his enemies in a coarse way. Any man who bad offended him Whistler would rap sharply over the shoulders with his cane, and then by the time the sufferer had recovered the master would be in the next room explaining to every one bow be had just felled his enemy. Once he caught a man with whom he was for the moment enraged washing his face. Without a moment's hesitation Whistler dashed the unfortunate bead straight into the basin of water, and while the foe was endeavoring to clear the soap from his eyes to see the cause of this sudden immersion Whistler was in the smoking room setting the men there in a roar with the account of his adventures. When I first met Whistler he was in the act of searching for a man who had dared to criticise his Venetian etchings. "If you want to see some fun. Menpes." he said, "come with me." Fortunately the man had been warned and was nowhere to be found.

LET 'EM SMOKE

Even if Carnegie Does Say that No Man Should Use Tobacco Until He Becomes a Millionaire. Lying Lots Worse Than Cigarettes.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Hear Cernegie! The solemn old fraud. The apostle of smugness and the silver dollar: "One rule I have often suggested to youth. 'Remain teetotalers until you have become millionaires. Certain am I that this would greatly accelerate their victory.' "Believe me, the young man who drinks or smokes voluntarily handicaps himself in the race of life. That he does either or both shows that he lacks something; he does not know how best to train himself for the race. The coming man leaves nothing to chance, nor, mark you, does he spend his slender means foolishly, certainly not if he is to prove the coming millionaire. You find him stripped for the race, carrying no superfluous weight in the day of trial. "Trifles these," no doubt some may be thinking especially smoking but, remember, we have seen it is almost impossible to know what are trifles. In the race of life a foot ahead wins the race; a pin turns the scale." What this utterance has to say of drink is true enough. But it is to be doubted if smoking has the evil effects that are oftener than not attributed to it. And as a deterrent to financial success it is negligible. In this particular it is to be feared that the wondrous -Carnegie is, in common parlance, talking through his celebrated hat. The rankest financial failures who ever fell under the observation of this column never puffed the noxious weed. And some undoubted successes at marooning pennies, nickles, dimes and dollars and segregating them in strong boxes from whence they re-issued in a golden stream of profitable investments were devotees at the shrine of the blue-aureoled goddess. You constantly read of old settlers who attribute their longevity to the trail of the merry pipe. To be sure these sometimes pass on by the work-house route. Then again they are prosperous grandsires delivering these- pronouncements from the midst of "broad acres and well filled barns." Smoking, in fact, never kept anybody from getting on financially. No doubt many men smoke too much. And cigarettes should be prohibited the immature. But, in moderation, smoking is a comfortable and domestic habit. A man who can smoke at home will generally smoke there. If he is run out of the house by his cleanly and godly feminine kin, either conjugal or otherwise, he will seek smoking quarters elsewhere. And possibly more vivacious entertainment. If men want to smoke in the house the. women of the menage should make no objection. Unless, of course, its prohibition is made with the express purpose of ridding themselves of his obnoxious presence. There are instances, and not infrequent, where the women wouldn't mind the smoke so much as the smokee. There are women and women. Then again there are men and men. But, if a man smokes decent tobac co, let him have the house to smoke in. When the master has had a good dinner followed by a comfortable smoke the canny woman can generally get what she wants within reason. Sometimes without. Besides house-smoking will, in the end, save much wear and tear on the nerves and the temper by obviating or at least diminishing the rigours of the ahnual cleanup. s 603 Main M.

III THE HOUSE

For a house which is smoked in the year round will have no moths. Smoking, indeed, is a friendly and useful habit besides conducing to moral behavior and to the preservation of the domestic balance. Neither is cigarette smoking half as bad as it is painted by the moralists and the W. C. T. U. Booth Tarkington. in instance. Is a conspicuous example of one of the fittest who have survived. The celebrated novelist and playwright has arrived at the famed years of discretion in seemingly good condition and undoubted affluence. And his cigarette proclivities are notorious. Not half as much harm is done through cigarette smoking as through lying. Lying is the one damnable habit. The effect of lying is worse than that of drink and smoke and drugs and crime rolled into one. For a lie cannot be nullified. It rolls down the ages gathering weight and momentum with time. The willful liar should b"e segregated from society. For he or she is its one determinable plague spot. If the W. C. T. 17. or some other feminine organization would Institute a reform which had for its animus th stoppage of women lying about each other, we'd be tacking toward the millenium lots faster than we ever will be through the operations of the Pro gressives. But this will never be achieved until a man's auxiliary is formed for the purpose of discouraging lying among the fair. For it is the tacit support women receive from men and the attitude the latter sustain toward them that is the cause of a third of all the feminine lying. Men, in fact, foster a lack of truth among women. When women find that they make no headway with the men by sidestep ping the straight and narrow path of truth they won't sidestep it. For the only thing that half the women in the world care for Is to stand in with the men. The other half don't care and wouldn't lie tc please a man or make a case with him, to save her more or less valuable bouI. Life's too short and not a man, liv ing or dead, worth it. Not that men are truthful to women But men don't have to lie to women to stand In with them. They stand in with them anyway. For the half of the feminine contingent who wouldn't lie to a man despise a man who lies to them. And its a regrettable fact that the majority thinks it is excusable. If not necessary, to deliberately He to women. This is a fine point upon which men are singularly obtuse. "What's this got to do with smoking?" asked the man at the next desk. "I didn't say it did," said the other person. It Is the truth, however, that smoking is a nice, companionable habit and generally practiced among both those within the pale and the uncou. You'll often find, also, that disagreeable men don't smoke. If a man doesn't either "smoke, drink or chew" you may put it down that be has a villainous temper or some unbearable virtue. Put it down In your little book that a man who don't smoke just to save a nickel is to be matrimonially avoided. He will make life one long hades for the erst while happy bride. Truth to tell the man who doesn't ! smoke should be regarded with suspicion. For, ten to one, he has some far more unregenerate vice. Grocery Phone 2148 & S.
