I 4- 5 1 r^i^w^^i fe WILSON STANDS ON HIS RECORD Josephus Daniels Invites Close Study ot Writings, SLANDER WON'T WIN NOW. Chairman of Democratic Publicity Bu -eau Points Out Errors of Campaigns of Previous Years and Finds a Good Moral—Roosevelt Also Wrote Books and Made Bitter Attacks on Various Men and Classes. New York.—Josephus Daniels, chair man of the publicity committee of the Democratic national committee, said today: "Eight years ago during the presi dential campaign of 1904 I came to New York, and, being a member of the Democratic national committee, 1 drop ped in at the headquarters of the com mittee. I found the literary bureau of the committee very actively engaged in perusing the volumes of' Theodore Roosevelt. When I saw on every desk •The Winning of the West,' 'The Life of Thomas H. Benton' and a half doz en others of the works of the then Re publican nominee for president 1 won dered whether or not I had got into the right place. "I was Immediately set aright, how ever, when I was informed that the literary young men were engaged in culling from those books some of the many denunciations and bitter criti cisms and attacks made by Theodore Roosevelt upon public men and meas ures and his aspersions upon great rep resentative bodies of our people, such as workingmen and farmers. "I found them preparing to send forth broadcast all over the land such excerpts from the writing of Theodore Roosevelt as: 'Cowboys are much better fellows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers, nor are the mechanics and workmen of a great city to be mentioned in the same breath.' 'Mr. Bryan and his adherents have appealed to the basest set in the land— the farmers.' 'They (workingmen who object to government by injunction) are not in sympathy with men of good minds and sound civic morality.' Hits Quakers Too. "They quoted from what he said about the Quakers, that those who would not fight were traitors to their country. "They said that when the farmers and workmen and the Quakers came to know what Theodore Roosevelt had "Written about them they would rise up "With wrath and indignation and bury Theodore Roosevelt beneath an ava lanche of votes. They said that Roose velt would not answer that exposure of his views, and. of course, he never did. I agreed with them that it was the proper thing to do to herald these ut terances through the country. "As to whether or not that sort of campaigning had any effect the result of the campaign eight years ago speaks for itself. "The Republican party is attempting to do today the same sort of thing that the Democrats tried in 1908. The Democrats out-Rodenberged Mr. Ro denberg. They were eight years ahead of him In this sort of thing. It didn't work with us then, and it will not work with them now. Stands on His Record. "The attempt to attack Governor Wilson because of certain statements which he made in writing history and in commenting upon events of history as they appeared to him as historian will fail signally. As one great metro politan newspaper pointed out. Mr. Ro denberg and his kind are simply 'Blow ing against the wind.' Governor Wil son is running for president on his record as a public man. and with that record the public is fairly well conver sant, and it will continue to learn more as the campaign progresses. "He is running for president on his record as governor of New Jersey— what he said and did in that capacity rather than what he wrote as a histo rian, chronicling events and comment ing upon them as they appeared to an impartial observer whose duty it is to write of things as they are rather than as they should be or as he would have them. "Our Republican brethren are enti tled to all the thunder they can make out of Governor Wilson's writings. I hope they will read them carefully and thoroughly. They will be able to gain a great deal of valuable informa tion, and when the context is read along with the excerpts which have been taken from his works for the purpose of placing him in a false light I have no fear as to the results. All that is needed is a thorough under standing. "Ingersoll sought to disprove Bible truths and to assail Holy Writ by the same methods which the Republicans are seeking to assail Governor Wil son." The average business man has awak ened to the fact that it is a good in vestment to give some of his time to political affairs This is one of Democ racy's best signs of victory Perhaps the Republicans, as repre sented by Taft. are satisfied with the Payne-Aldrich tariff bril. But the ma-, jorlty of the voters are not.

A preliminary statement giving for the United States, by divisious aud states, the number of males compris ing the natural militia of the country as shown by the returns of the thir teenth decennial census, taken as of April 15, 1910. has just been issued by Director Durand of the census. In the total population of the United States, exclusive of noncontiguous ter ritories or possessions, there were in 1910 20,473,084 males of militia age that is, males from eighteen to forty four years, inclusive. In 1900 the males of militia age numbered 10, 182.702. The figures for 1910 exceed those for 1900 by 4.290,982 While the total population of the country has in creased during the decade 21 per cent, males of militia age have in the same period increased 20 per cent, and aa a consequence they constituted a somewhat greater proportion of the total population in 1910 than they did in 1900 Of the total population of both sexes and all ages in 1910 22 3 per cent were males of militia age, the corresponding percentage for 1900 be ing 21 3 The fact that males of militia age increased more rapidly than the total population is accounted for in part by Immigration, which has been during the last decade to a greater degree than in earlier years predominantly male Among immigrants the propor tion eighteen to forty-four years of age greatly exceeds the proportion in those ages among natives, and conse quently the northern and western states, to which immigrants chiefly go have, as compared with the southern states, a greater proportion of their population males of militia age The eastern divisions, however, lose some portion of their adult male population by migration westward, and an effect of this westward migration appears In the higher percentages shown for the states of the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast regions Western Percentage Highest. As compared with the general aver age noted above for the country as a whole of 22 3 per cent, males of mili tia age in 1910 formed 22.8 per cent of the total population in the four north era divisions taken together. 28 per cent in the two far western divisions and 19.9 per cent in the three southern divisions taken together The percent ages in the individual northern states are. with few exceptions, close to the average for the country as a whole In the far western states they are generally oonside*rably above and in the southern states generally below this average Among the states the percentage for Wyoming is highest, males of militia age in 1910 constituting 37 4 per cent of the population Other states with high percentages are Nevada. 35.9: Montana, 32.8 Washington. 20 8 Ari zona, 28.9 Oregon, 28.3.

PHILADELPHIA FIGHTS GRAFT. Like New Yoik, Is Gleaning Up Police System UNDERWORLD STRIKES BACK. Accusas Rcfcrri Mead of Police De part.™ nt—/it 5 Cc,t.ad Leader Bus pence c—Csmbli.ig Houses and Dis orderly Flavor.E Esing Closed—Wo man Gmiiui.os Police Commissioner. New York is not the only city inves tigating police graft and protected vice. Philadelphia is preparing to at tack its own problems in this line, with the result that the grafters and the "system" have struck back at the head of the police department. The mo ment the finger of investigation was placed upon graft in the Quaker City in connection with the alleged accept ance by a policeman of money to re frain from serving a warrant on the proprietor of a disorderly resort the "system*' was quick to act, and the chief detective who was executing orders from the head of the police de partment found himself uuder charges and suspension. Despite the opposition brought to bear against the present reform ad ministration, however, those charged with execution of the laws are going ahead against the conditions that have flourished for years, and F'hiladelphia is being "cleaned up" in a way never before witnessed by the present gen eration of citizens. Police Commissioner Attacked. George D. Porter, commissioner of public safety and head of the police department, found himself the object of hostility from "mysterious" sources as soon as he assumed office on Dec. 4, 1911. Attempts were made to dis credit his chief lieutenant. Detective Harry D. Jacobs, investigator of criminal affairs and leader of the vice squad. It is not known yet who the men "higher up" were who induced the bringing of frivolous charges against him. However, they failed in their purpose, but a more serious method of attack on the commissioner of public safety followed. A woman carrying an infant in her arms appeared at the residence of Com missioner Porter at Wayne Junction, a suburb of Philadelphia, and told the wife of the commissioner that the lat ter was its father The woman is sup posed to have been bribed to tell this story by the criminal element and by certain politicians who were profiting by graft and lawbreaking and foun^ their interests interfered with by the reform methods of the commissioner of public safety. All efforts to find the woman with the child have baffled the commissioner and his friends. Her action has ap parently the same mainspring as that which has prompted the charges against Mr. Porter's detective. Mr. Jacobs charged three policemen with being concerned in accepting money for hold ing up the service of a warrant on a resort run by a notorious woman of the Tenderloin district. The detective backed up his charge with affidavits obtained from the only known witness es to the alleged transaction, men and women of trie underworld. Squad Leader Suspended. Instead of aiding him to make out a case and assist in clearing out the de partment, if there were any men there in guilty, as he charged there were, the "system" hastily went to work to dis credit his evidence, to "save" the ac cused men. and for this purpose coun ter affidavits against Mr Jacobs and his squad were sought. Detective Jacobs was brought up on charges and suspended. Mr. Jacobs said that the whole affair was a con spiracy to injure him and through him to discredit the commissioner. In the meantime "Mr. Porter, as an evidence of his confidence in Detective Jacobs, restored hifn to duty, with in power to act on his own Judg ment. Mr. Jacobs immediately re sumed his crusade and in his latest clearing out of resorts reports the ar rest of fifty-five men and thirty five women with criminal records. In all he has made some 850 arrests of men and women, proprietors of resorts, and 2losed resorts to the number of 1.000. FEEcreased Scores of ministers and hundreds of citizens have indorsed the work of Mr. Porter and his investigator. The Ktreets have been practically cleared of objectionable characters. At least twenty-five of the largest gambling bouses have been forced to closp their doors. When a delegation of ministers jailed on Mr. Porter and asked him to abolish the conditions that existed he assured them he would do so Despite these efforts, graft has not been eliminated entirely, now wide the "system" is no one professes to know, but this is a part of the work to which the investigation is now be ing turned. Even the political oppo nents of Mayor Blankenburg and his reform commissioner of police, while Dot always agreeing with their poli cies and methods, agree that they have accomplished much.

Tribune Wants Will Help You. Newso Scandinavia cn Principal Happenings of the Week in the Scandinavian Countries. "Ido," the international auxiliary language, which has been adopted by the international institute recently es tablished at Munchen for the organiza tion of literary endeavors, has just been introduced at tlie Finsen medical Institute in Copenhagen, where it will be on an equal footing with the dif ferent national languages. Ido has been in use at the Stockholm statis tical bureau for more than a year as un official language of correspondence Dn a par with the French language, which so far has been the internation al language of statistics. The Syndicatists of Scandinavia held a convention in Copenhagen. It was decided that a press bureau is to be opened in Goteborg. Gustaf Sjos trom, a Swede, explained that the Syn dicatists must flght the employers on the one hand and the Socialists on the other the latter being too conserva tive. Mr. Ogaard, a Norwegian, said that the leaders of the old labor or ganizations were only "parasites." Chr. Christensen, a Dane, went the others one better by declaring that the Socialists were "traitors," who want to enslave the workingmen by means of contracts. The United Steamship company of Denmark has caused quite a stir in shipping rates in Sweden and Norway by starting competition with the SweT dish-Norwegian Mexico line for freight Shipping to Newport News. In some Instances the Danish company has cut the rates. The Danes are now making connections at Goteborg, Sweden, and Intend to start a general war for carry ing freight from Norway and Sweden to the United States. They are try ing to close one-year contracts with the customers of the Swedish-Nor wegian Mexico line. SWEDEN. Six officers of the Swedish army have again gone to Persia as instruc tors for the Persian gendarmeie. Lutefisk will be an expensive food In Sweden for the next few months because the dried fish from which it Is prepared commands a wholesale price of almost 19 cents a pound. The Lindholmen estate, not far from Stockholm, has changed owners, the consideration being almost $100,000. It Is the birth place of King Gustaf Vasa. rhe area of the land is 3,400 acres. A farmer at Perstorp., South Asho pommune, used an incubator with great success last spring. The full papacity of it was 200 eggs and from two hatchings he got 384 chicks, which was 96 per cent of the eggs. A new school house for primary work was needed at Sanne, and a lady teacher went to work and had a school house built at her own expense. Our authority did not take the trouble to mention the name of this good woman. The permanent secretary of the Swedish academy has been too power ful in that institution, enabling him to put his personal stamp on the work done. Now it is proposed to reduce the term of office of the secretary to a few years, or even only one year. King George of England was made to pose as the king of Sweden for a few hours this summer. A gentleman who mailed a letter in Norrkoping put an English one-penny stamp on it. This ghows a picture of King George. But It looks so much like the Swedish ten Dre stamp that no one noticed the difference at the postoffice, and the date was stamped on it. At Stockholm the place of destination, the mistake was again overlooked, and the letter was stamped. It is stated that this Btamp now has a very great commer cial value as a unique postage stamp. Miss Kerstin Strandberg, who keeps a hoel in Hernosand, has publicly of fered to donate $270 towards building a naval station at Hernosand. In her Dffer, which appears in the conserva tive press, she argues at some length that such a station is of imperative necessity. She also makes a dig for the manner in which many Swedes squander their money while they main tain that Sweden is too poor to spend any more money than she does on her defences. Part of Miss Strandberg's reflections stand a literal translation: ''Suppose that we, for a change, let the Chinese tend to their own mission ary work—for Jao and Confusianism may be as wholesome for them as Christ and Christianity for us—and also let the French, the Germans, and the English, who have divided up Africa among themselves, preach the gospel to the negroes, while we, on the other hand, go to work with our own heathen and keep our millions at home, and also keep the millions that are spent on foreign lotteries. Now that we can afford to throw so much money out of the country it will not do to claim that the Swedish people are too poor to build a naval station on the coast of Norrland." The rush of foreigners to the Olym pic games was not what had been ex pected. It is now claimed that the managers of many hotels in Berlin and Copenhagen dissuaded many tour ists from going to Stockholm on the ground that the hotel charges would b_fi exorbitant during the games. Nor: wegian agents' are saioT to~Tiave been doing the same kind of work in Gote borg. The pomological society has decided to waive the usual fruit expositions this year. The reason given for this step is, that the apple crop is a com* plete failure. DENMARK. The German warship maneuvers In Danish waters are arousing much crifc icism because of the great harm to the fisheries, the frequent visits to the Yemern belt by the German vessels endangering the lives of fishermen. Al though they carry regulation lights, the German warships are referred t« as reckless concerning fishing inter ests. Leading newspapers refer to th« frequent visits as inconvenient and harmful because they are too near th« best fishing places. Women residents of Copenhagei have the franchise in municipal al fairs. It is interesting to note whaj percentage of the voting population ea ercised the privilege at the last eleo tion for the board of aldermen. It wai shown that 70,326 men and 67,473 worn en had the right to vote, and of thii number 56,795 men and 46,347 womei went to the polls. This vote indicate! that 80.8 per cent of the men and 68.1 per cent of the women electors used the ballot at the spring election. Th« votes cast of both sexes representi 74.8 per cent of the total registration The percentage in 1909 was 75.2 pel cent. Many women sighed over and envied Queen Alexandra her wonderful con stitutioh, as they drove away from the two garden parties which she gav« recently at Marlborough house. Mosl women of her age—even when theii lives have been of the serenest—ar« past standing for hours together shaks Ing hands with several hundred peo pie, and not collapsing afterward like a pricked balloon. Yet this wonder ful woman, whom neither time noi trouble seems able to mark with theii footprints, did it twice in one week and at the end of the second day look ed as sweet, fresh and, what is more, as young as ever. For these occasions Bhe doffed her widow's cap and don« tied a small but becoming straw hat and a beautiful rope of pearls hung round her neck. Prince Knud, the second son of King Christian X, has obtained the permission of his parents to Join the boy scouts. The young prince, who is very bright, has earned the cost of his uniform by saving up his pocket money just as the other boy scouts are required to do. In drills the prince has taken a leading place and, like all of the Danish boy scouts, he has learned to cook while on the march. The lesson in the culinary art was BO well learned by the prince that he Invited his mother and father to a lit tle dinner which he had prepared with ais own hands. He served his august parents with soup, an exoellent course of meat, vegetable and some nice des Bert, and at the conclusion of the meal their majesties agreed that they had enjoyed an excellent dinner and they promised the prince they would oon again bcome his guests. NORWAY. The city council of Stavanger has resolved to recommend an eight-hour day for men employed on the public works of the city. At the congress of Scandinavian dentists held in Kristiania, Dr. Han sen, a youthful Norwegian dentist, an nounced that he had succeeded in dis covering the bacillus of pyorrhea al veolaris, which causes the loss of teeth. His colleagues assert that Han sen's discovery is epochal in the science of dentistry. A cable from Bergen states that Kaiser Wilhelm is no longer popular In Norway. He has been visiting there annually for twenty-four years and there are several reasons why he is classed among the "undesirables." In the first place, his imperial yacht and the escorting squadron of warships have got so familiar that they go pok ing about everywhere even in forbid den nooks, much to the annoyance of everybody. The fishermen are es pecially vexed. It is surmised that this reconnoitering is connected with the Kaiser's desire to find a suitable place for a German coaling station within easy access of the North sea. The Kaiser has informed the Bergen coun cil that he wants to make the town a gift of two statues representing two Norwegian legendary heroes, Frithjof and King Bele, carved by a German sculptor. Models of these statues were brought to Bergen and the Kais er personally superintended their tem porary setting up.. An army of of ficers and sailors from the squadron came ashore and hundreds of Ameri can, English and German tourists looked on. The Kaiser was highly pleased but the natives grumbled loud ly that the statues are ugly.

NEWS FROM FATHERLAND A Brief Resume of the Most Im portant Happenings in the German Empire. Kaiser Wilhelm had a wreath placed on the coffin of William Booth.

Jonathan Winfield is responsible for the following story, which was sent out broadcast from Washington: "Germany is openly preparing to innex St. Thomas, the largest and best of the Danish West Indies. With the death of King, Christian XI of Den mark came the ideal opportunity for the father land to stretch forth a greedy hand and from the bulging coffers of the Hohenzollerns to buy from the Panes an island which the latter do fiuot want and which has been a con siderable expense to them. The Greater Berlin Street Railway company has evidently discovered that It is possible to be too courteous in some respects. Until very recently the following placard was hung in each car: "In the interests of fellow-trav elers ladies are begged not to fasten their hats with long, projeoting hat pins." This poster is now pasted over with the following notice: "To prevent Injury to fellow-travelers ladies will protect the points of their long, pro jecting hatpins." The language now used is direct, and there is no "begged" about it. Remarkable evidence of the ad vanced state of aviation is furnished by the news that an aeroplane has been stolen. When the aviator, Herr Belat, arrived at his shed on the aero drome of Puchhem, near Munchen, to take a flight on his monoplane he found to his dismay that the machine bad literally flown. It was impossibly that the aeroplane should have been removed from the grounds in any oth ed way than by air, and the thief must have been a skilled pilot. Persons re siding in the neighborhood of the aero drome state that they heard the buzz ing sound of aa aeroplane about 2 H. m. "The Hamburg-American Steamship company, subsidized by the German government, has built vast piers, Bocks and coal yards along the water front of St. Thomas, all of which are far too large to accommodate the pteamers of this line.

It is said that an option has been obtained on a large tract of land, on the Delaware river, east of Eddystone and adjoining the plant of the Baldwin locomotive works, and that the land has been purchased by agents repre senting the Krupp gun works of Ger many.

The tract, said to be under considera tion for the site of a great gun and armor making establishment, extends along the Delaware river from Darby creek, which enters the Delaware at Essington to the month of Crum creek. Much of the tract is marsh. Another tract which rumor connects with the Krupp works is in Chester, west of Ridley river and close to the textile plant of the Eddystone Manufactur ing company. Sharp measures of retaliation aginst the United States for its action in the Panama canal tolls question are urged by Count Reventlow, the noted authority on international and naval law. "The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was signed by only two powers," he says, 'but economically it affects the ship ping interests of all nations. Great Britian may therefore be regarded as fn a certain sense holding the man date from all these nations. In the tolls question the United States la seeking simply and solely to satisfy its greedly by unfairly grasping an advan tage over ether maritime powers.

It is for them to consider whether they shall not institute reprisals which will convince the United States that its policy of unequal treatment of the maritime in terests is bad business. For Ger many, this matter affords new and striking proof of the faot that in its dealings with the United States It must maintain as sharp measures as may be necessary.
