PRIZE EOR ESSAYS; J
ROOSEVELT SUBJECT |
Senator Bourne Boosting
!n a Unique Way.
WASHINGTON, D. C., October 23.
Special)—Senator Bourne of Oregon,
who achieved notoriety last March
as the host of a dinner where the
'five million dollar conspiracy” to
defeat Roosevelt and his policies was
duluged by Senator Penrose, is boost
ing the President for a third term in
a unique way is the second elective
term. He has offered a prize of
SI,OOO for the best argument on
various phases of Roosevelt.
The following are the propositions
■to be maintained:
In re Roosevelt
First. That the sovereign people,
and not Theodore Roosevelt, the indi
vidual and public servant, will de
cide who shall be his successor.
Second. That Theodore Roosevelt
cannot decline a second elective term
or attempt to name his successor
without making his own personal de
sires or egotistical opinions para
mount to the combined wishes and in
telligence of the Republican party
and the electorate of the nation.
Third. That Roosevelt’s honesty,
courage, initiative, imagination, ver-j
satility and tremendous capacity for
work, with heart and brain constant- j
)v attuned to the people's rights and j
commands, and his insistence upon j
the enforcement rather than avoid- j
ance of laws, and the protection of
the rights of men and property, have |
r.o an unparalleled degree gained the;
confidence of all people; that.)
the popular mind, Roosevelt, during
his executiveship, has demonstrated;
his ability and determination to make
good as the people's chief servant,
and not their dictator; that this con
fidence, being a brain deduction and
not a heart emotion, is impossible of
destruction except by his betrayal;
that by the selection of any other
man, business contraction and res
triction must exist during the period
necessary for him to demonstrate to
the people’s satisfaction his ability
and determination to make good, and
itherefore, that, barring death or ser
ious illness, President Roosevelt must
and will be selected and elected for
second elective term.
The prize will be awarded March
15, 1908, the contest closing one
month earlier, and three judges, gen
tlemen of high standing, will be nam
ed shortly to pass upon the argu
ments submitted.
In speaking of the contest Senator
-Bourne said:
‘‘Frankly, my purpose is to secure
(discussion and agitation resulting in
conviction and crystalization of opin
- ion. Confident that the overwhelm
ing sentiment of the country, regard
less of party, favors the renomination
."and re-election of Roosevelt, I take
this method of inviting an expres
sion on the subject.

COTTON IS FAVORED
BY STEAMSHIPS.
Savannah Lumbermen In
voke Aid of Courts.
SAVANNAH, GA„ October 23.
(Special)—A sweeping restraining
order, signed by Judge Cann, was
served on the officials of the Mer
chants & Miners Transportation Com
pany Monday enjoining them from
continuing an alleged discrimina
tory policy against Granger & \
Lewis, dealers in and shippers of i
lumber.
The petitioners charge that ship
ments of cotton and naval stores are
given preference over their lumber,
the damages resulting being great.
In addition to inhibiting officials of
the company from continuing the
discriminaations the order enjoins
the acceptance of a greater pro
portion of lumber from persons ship
ping from points other than Savannah
than it receives from the petitioners.
One of the grievances is that lum
ber shipped from interior points is
handled promptly by the steamship
companies, while the railroad termi
nals are now blocked with great quail-;
tities of lumber which the petitioners j
are begging the steamers to receive j
and deliver to its destination.
The steamship company is order- j
ed to show cause before Judge Cann j
on Oct. 26, why this restraining or
der should not remain in effect.
It is charged in the petition that
‘‘persons enjoy a great advantage
from their ability to book their ship
ments for future delivery, by such
advantage they are enabled to con-I
tract to deliver cotton in Philadelphia
and other points East •by steamer
sailing from Savanah on a particular
date.” It is averred that petitioners
are damaged, injured and wronged
by the alleged unjust and unlawful
discriminations.
AMERICAN EDUCATED
CHINESE FAVORED
Dissatisfaction Over Japa
nese Schools.
PEKIN, October 23. (Special)
Progressive Chinese set highest store
by American education. Yuan Shi
kai, who under the recent changes in
the government, becomes the domina
ting figure in the affairs of this na
tion, recently said:
“Os our young men who have been
educated abroad those who went to
America are the best by far. I attri
bute this to the fact that nearly all
our students in America have been
received into American homes, have
been surrounded by superior influen
ces and have imbibed high notions of
integrity and moral conduct. Their
tone is noticeably higher than that
of the young men educated in Eu
rope and I wish it were possible for
more to go to America.”
This high estimate of the men who
have received their instruction in
America finds substantial indorse
ment in the fact that of the young
men whom Yuan Shikai has called
around him, and the others who are
coming to the fore in the develop
ment of the new China, the gradua
tes of American institutions of learn
ing rank highest.
The general disgust over the so
called education of Japan will not
only lead to the diversion of the out
going stream to America and Europe,
but it will have an important effect
upon the development of a modern
system of education in China.
To America or Europe
For policy's sake the Chinese gov
ernment may not go to the extreme
of interdicting all education in Japan,
but there is every reason to expect
that the official influence will lie
against it. Those students sent
abroad at the expense of the Chinese
government will go to America or
Europe. Germany is holding out all
sorts of inducements to Chinese stu
dents. The fact that English is the
universal language of the East has
lopg been a thorn in the flesh of
Germans who think their language
is the only one worth knowing.

of the comforts that money will buy,

LEAGUERS SEEK STATE
WIDE PROHIBITION.
Tennessee Anti-Saloonists
,Toße in Conference.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Oct. 23.
—(Special)—State wide prohibition
and how to accomplish it is the main
topic of discussion at the big confer
ence of Anti-Saloon league leaders
and other reformers, in session here
today. The Corrupting Influence of
the Saloon on Politics in a Large
City” is the topic of a symposium
this afternoon. At this evening's ses
sion the discussion will include an
address on ‘‘The Evils of the Jug
Traffic.”
After the first of next month, sa
loons will exist in Tennessee only in
Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga and
LaFollette, Knoxville, Bristol, Jack
son, Clarksville and other cities have
enacted new charters, prohibiting sa
loons within their boundaries. It is
now proposed by the Anti-Saloon
league leaders, in view of the rapid
growth of temperance sentiment, to
go to the legislature for a law which
will' make the entire State “dry.”
Memphis and Nashville, especially
the former, will probably be the
principal battle ground of the prohi
bition movement.
Nashville is now the only “wet”
spot in the forty counties of middle
Tennessee, while Memphis is the
oasis for the western section and
Chattanooga for the southeastern part
of the State. It is contended that the
continued sale of liquor in these cit
ies is a question that effects the wel
fare of the people of the entire State,
and that for this reason the people of
the State and not those of the com
munity directly affected should de
cide the prohibition question.
Among those who will address the
present convention are Dr. Ira Lan
drith, of Nashville; Dr. P. A. Baker,
of Columbus, 0., national superin
tendent of the Anti-Saloon league;
George F. Milton, editor of the Knox
ville Sentinel; John R. Pepper, of
Memphis, and Eugene Webb, of Knox
ville.

Over Alleged False Report
of Rome Meeting.
ATLANTA, GA., October 23.
(Special)—Hon. Seaborn Wright is
out in a card in the Journal this af
ternon in which he denounces the
Constitution and Clark Howell for
an alleged Rome special in which
Mayor Maddox is quoted as saying
that Wright was a dangerous man
who would wreck the community for
any selfish end. Wright also says
that the failure of Howell to under
stand the people was the reason for
his poor showing in race for Gover

tolerate an editor of a great paper
whose methods are that of a politi
cal' sandbagger.
