TEDDY TAMI'FMS? WITH THUTH,
Theodore Hoosev.-lt, erstwhile pres
ident of tho United Stute*. ?Ire of the
Hull Moose parly Idea, arch enemy of
raca suicide and general all-round
noisy, rearing, rip-snorting, loud-talk
ing Individual -hut u red-blooded, en
ergetic and sensible American withal
made a speech Wednesday night a",
a military Instruction camp ut Blatts
burg. N. V., which has elicited more
comment than anything he has utter
ed rtinco leaving the Wh'Ae House,
pcrhups.
Teddy "lit" onto the Washington
administration, and he went to it with
a vengeance, of course, Teddy 1h u
rampant Individual, and at time, we
think, an Irresponsible one. Iii? at
tack on the administration will ?et
under the skin of we Democrats, of
ec.ur.se, hut you should give the devil
his dues.
In that speech Teddy sa d some
'Illing", though uncomfortable, come
pretty near being the truth. We don't
agree with a lot of the lambasting he
guve the udniiiiiutrutlon, but his re
murks on our unpnpnredncHs and 'the
allegation that the United States had
"not taken the smallest step In bte
way of preparedness to defend our
own rlghrs" are sound in principle
at any rate.
iHpeaklng of the United State's
failure to stund by Its obligation to
ward Belgium and touching on the
question of manufacturers in this
country being allowed to furnish
munitions of war to the Aille?, he
said:
"I nder The Hsgue convention
It was our bounden duty to take
whatever action was necessary to
prevent and, If not to prevent,
then to undo, the hideous wrong
thnt was done to Belgium. YVe
havo shirked this duty. We have
shewn r spirit so abject, that tier
many bus deemed it safe to kill
our women and children on (he
high seas. As fer the export of
munitions of war, it would be a
base abandonment of morality to
refuse to make these shliyucnts.
Such n refusal Is proponed only
to favor the nation that sank the
Lusltanla and the Arabic and
committed the crime against Bel
glum, the greatest International
crime committed since the close
of tho Napoleonic contests of a
century ngo.
"It Is not a lofty thing?on the
contrary It fir'an'evil thing? U>
practice a timid and selfish neu
trality between right and wroag.
It Is wrong for an Individual. It
Is still more wroag for a notion.
Bat ft Is , worse In the name of
neutrality, to favor the nation
that fans done evil. . . .
"Exactly the same morality
should obtain Internationally that
obtains nationally. It Is right for
a private firm to furnish arms to
the policeman who, puts down the
thug, the burglar, tho white
slaver and the hlackhauder. It Is
wrong to furnish the blaekhander,
ihe burglar aad the white-slaver
with weapons to he used against
tho police m un. The analogy holds
true In International life.
' Let us furnish munitions to
the men who, showing courage we
have not shown, wish to rescue
Belgium from subjeetloa and
spoliation and depredation. And
let us encourage munition makers
so that we may be abe to held our
own when the hour of peril comes
to us In our turn, as assuredly
It wlU come If we show ourselves
too ?neutral' to speak a word on
hi half of the weak who are
wronged, and toe slothful and
lasy to prepare to defend our
selves against wrong. Most as*
snredly It will come to as If we
succeed in pevsaadfng great mill*
tary nations that we are aot pre*
pared to undertake defensive war
for oar own vital Interest aad na
tional honor."
How far do you thing Teddy is hit
ting wldo of the mark? While wo
beliove Roosevelt would be an unsafe
man to havo In Uie White House at a
time like this, and while we agree that
ho is much of a blainer?klte at tlmcu,
you'll havo to admit there's virtue in
what bo ban said in criticism of this
country's n:ipreparedness for war and
Its slothfulnoBS In taking steps to be
prepared.
Congress meant well?aa usual?
when it passed the bill rewarding
Panama Canal workers by granting
special promotion to army men wtth
three years' canal service to their
credit. But?also as usual?the bill
Was loosoly drawn. As a result, Copt.
George R. Qoetbals, son of the build
er of the canal, 29 years old and less
than four years out of West Point, Is
said to be eligible to retire as a major,
on a life pension of $2,850 a year.
He probably lent going to do it, but
that doesn* relieve congress of the
responsibility.

G 11. VF STUN THF INDOMITABLE.
One of the finest exhibitions of thu
Indomitable American spirit that has
over come to itho attention of the
world Is that exhibited by the city of
Galveston, Texas, which has Just
passed through the infernon of a West
India hurricane. It Is voiced in a
dispatch sent 'to tho Dallas Morning
News signed by the mayor of Galves
ton and a committee of prominent
business men of he city, which reads
as follows:
"Galveston has successfully
passed through a West India hur
ricane that blew continuously for
eighteen hours. The government
weather gauge registered the
maximum Telocity of the wind at
ninety miles per hour. The city*
due to the adamantine r?sistante
of the seawall, bas sustained com
paratively small loss In destrnc
tloa of property and bat six
deaths have been thus far report
ed.
"The great structure, erected af
ter the calamity of 1800, grimly
met and conquered the raging seas
of the golf and hurled them back
defiantly whence they came. Our
citizenship Is buoyantly cheerful
because of the demonstrated Im?
pregnablllty of their protective
work In this, the sapermost test
of their effectiveness In mass
meeting today assembled Galves.
- ton's citizenship sends greetings
to the pledge te strive diligently
' and heartily to attain that super
ior success which last night's vie
tory promised for the commun
- By." '
Not content with this, Galveston has
bad printed, In *the form of handbills,
thu dispatch together with an edi
torial bearing on the dispatch which
appeared In tho Dallas Morning News,
which she haa broadcasted . over the
country.
The circular la headed : "Greetings
from Galvcsiton to the World." It's
a'fine bit of work and of .untold value
to Galveston. It arrests attention
where possibly nothing else would of
an advertising or boosting nature,
and commands admiration.
MAKING TUE TIDE WORK.
The ocean Ilde wob put to work in
New York the other day. apparently
for the first time in the history of
American engineering. And the way
it handled Uic job was a rerelation.
The Udo was utilized as a bridge
buildor, in itho reconstruction of the
Third Avenue elevated bridge over the
Harlem river. Tho engineers bad
planned a feat absolutely orginal.
Tho problem waft to replace the mid
dle scan with a modern structure
while tho bridge remained in use.
They had buiit, separately, a new span
weighing 1,100 tons. It waa floated
on four hugo barges to the vicinity
of the bridge. Other barges were
' placed under tho old span at low tide,
then the operation started.
It was a surprisingly simple thing.
As tho tide rose, raising the barges
wltli their platfoms, tho old 260 ton
bridge span was slowly and gently
lifted from its place without the exer
tion of a single pound or steam pow
er, or the lifting of a hand. Then a
flotilla of tugs manoeuvered the bar
ges with the big new span to |ta des
tined position and everything was
made ready. In a few hours the eb
bing tide just as deftly dropped tho
great mass of steel work Into Its slots
with the precise accuracy required,
and the job was done. Traffic was
Interrupted for only twelve'hours.
That feat Is sure to set. the engt
n soring world thinking. If the tide
ean lift an l.ioo ton bridge span as
lightly as tho human hand lifts a
toy, what can It not do In the way of
working for man?
. The tide-power going to waste on
our sea coasts Is inconceivable enor
moub. Ih thousands of bays and in
lets, twice every day. water areas
many square miles in extent rise
?cvoral feet and then subside again.
The power of Niagara Is a tittle com
pared with the reservoir force .which
might bo tapped by building proper
works for the control and use of the
vast volume of rising and falling
water. In fact, our future-engineers
may get more power out ot the tides
than all the present horsepower in
America amounts to, from ail sources.

It.seems that there is a possibility
of a scarcity of shot gun shells this
fall. Some of the hardware sieves
of the city placed orders about six
months ago and as yet hare not re
ceived their shipments. The reason
for <this is accounted for because the
factories have been running over time
to supply European orders.
Since the dove season is now on,
shells are very much in demand and'
many people are laving In a supply.
