After a conference and Investiga tion of the plans submitted to them by Archlteti J. C. Stilt and State Secretary Bailey , the executive com mittee of the Y. M. C. A. decided to make the 1'eeesnary change In the plans for the Interior of the Y. M. C. A. building whereby a room will be re-nerved for young women , In consid eration of a small additional cost. On certain days the entire physical do- ( lartment will be turned over to the yotuiK women , when that department will be as separate as though It were In another building. The entrance to the reigulnr young women's depart ment will bo located on the east side of the building. The " " -nowball" campaign will end definitely on March S. That. Is the arrangement agreed upon by the com mittee vestciday. After that day three days will be given over to ad ditional solicitors who are to tnkc up n new method , which will then put in force for the last three days of the campaign. The third day will come on Sunday rnd this Is to be the end of the campaign. Secretary Bailey left for Omaha yesterday , but expects to bo back in Norfolk before the cam paign is over. The proposed change In the coti- structlon of the interior of the build ing can be made without material ad dition to the cost of c-onstruction. When the change has been completed , l here will be n room with nil gymnas ium facilities , in e-harge of an expert- i-ticed matron for women and pirls According to the plans , the building can bo arranged so that the women's and girls' side will be entirely sepnr ate from the balance 01 the building The women's class will have advant ape of the plunge. J. C. Stltt , local architect , and Secretary Bailey , uftei noing over the plans at some length approved thorn and turned them ovei to the executive committee for ac tion. Besides adding n room in the build Ing for women and girls , a wrestling and boxMng room Is contemplated bj the committee. This latter proposi tion , however , has not been ns yel decided upoi , . "When the construction of the In terior of the building wns considered three departments were sought , " says members of the committee. "These three departments were for business men , young men and boys. Tb < > plans were made to suit these three depart incuts. "It has developed , however , thai the young girls of the high school and voting women of the city have nc place for any gymnasium work. Tin school buildings have no gymnasium ! and a slight change in these plain without any material cost would give these deserving young women a suit able room in the building with all phy sical culture privileges.

Robert Halsam , Former Frontiersma of Courage , Dies in Want. Chicago. March 1. Robert Ilalsau 72 years old , and widely known a gei erntion ago as "Pony Bob , " died I want here last night. For many yeal he was famed ns a pony express ride and Indian fighter throughout tl \\est. He was the daring rider wl tarried the news of Abraham Li coin's election as president through country beset by hostile Indians , was this ride which brought him tl greatest fame. While the white settlers at Co Springs were threatened with mat acre in 1850. Halsam rode throuj the Plute country In Nebraska brought aid. Twice on that trip 1 shot his way through the Indian line Later the veteran held a commissii as n scout under Gen. Nelson Miles. Col. William F. Cody was Hi sum's chief officer at that time. C Cody started a subscription to' ca for Halsam last summer when it I came known the express rider suffi od a paralytic stroke , re QUIET AT BEIRUT. of rs pMartlal Law , Since Bombardment , H he Had Salutary Effect , al I Beirut.

ROOSEVELT IN THE RING. Proof of His Courage. Topekn Capital : Itoost-velt bus little to gain and certainly much te logo by ngaln entering the field as i candidate for office. He voluntarll ) invites misrepresentation and cnlum ny and perhaps defeat , either at Chi cugo or In November's election. His consent to run Is a proof of the coin age that has been one of the most at tractive qualities of his character li every position be has occupied. Under Which Flag. Washington Post : The country cai breathe a liltle easier now. The sit i.ation will b cleared , and republican ! will decide which flag they will flglr under. It will be an embarrassing lime for double dealers and dodgers but every honest and Independen man will welcome Col. Roosevelt's de finite announcement. The fight wil now be In the open , where everyone can see what Is going on. The whlsp ert-rs will have to go out of business 1C very man to his tent , O Israel ! Party In a "Woeful Plight. " New York Globe : But the announce ment throws into stronger relief th woeful plight of the republican party It is plain that the word has gone em to abuse witlntut restraint e > r limi all thost1 supporting the Hoosevel candidacy. They are already callec 1'opulists , socialists , anarchists , revci lutlonlsts and ine-endiarles. He is at tacked as arch demogogue , hysteri arch , lunatic. Now this plan of cam pnign , whlln It will probably brim about the nomination of Taft , will ele troy Tnft's chances of election , am Incidentally probably grind the repuh lican party to pieces. Ill Advised. New York Tribune : His candl dacy. because of personal relation ! formerly existing , can hardly fail ti engender uni'sual political bltternesi pud creite a breach among republic tins wider than rival candidacies or dlnarily produce , and in a year whei the part will need Its full strength ti win. Col. Roosevelt would havi served best the party that has oftet honored him generously by remain ing In the background. No public ex ipency drags him into the arena There are no principles whose servic- - requires this candidacy. People Will Settle It. Denver Times : It is , perhaps , th beat thing possible that Mr. Roost \elt has decided to seek the nominr tion and releetion. . If the anti-thir term sentiment is as strong as th Times believes it to be. the peopl will deal with Mr. Roosevelt as he de serves to be dealt with. And the re suit will be decisive. It will settl Mr. Roosevelt one way or the othe lor all time , in accordance with th popular will. If Mr. Roosevelt think he can overcome the third term prt judle-e , he is entitled to exercise hi privilege of running for office a many times as the public will stan for it. The Colonel Misled. Topeku State Journal : We believ the masses of the people to whoi Taft has endeared himself as a coi sclentlons. bioad minded , able pres dent , who has executed the function of his high office with marked and e : ceptional MK-ress. will decide thf Ceil. Hooeu-lt has not given Pres dent Taft a fair deal. * * Roost volt's action is too brutal toward Taf It savors of the expression , "My lit Is in the ring. " It is an action e s-'trength , not justice. The State Jou nal belifves that Roosevelt has bc > overruled in his best judgment by a artificial environment that has bee ; hrown around him by ill-advise 'riends ' and "straw" votes , and In aken the-se to reflect the real pres lential feeling and the leal attittic of the public on the presidential si uation , when they do nothing of tl ; ind. Sadly Deceived. Springfield , Mass. , Republican : Mr. RooseveM should not be nomim ed by the republican party , no 01 can bo sure that he would not tin be inspired to head n "people's mo\ ment. " But , meanwhile and now , ! emerges from the dignified and he orable retirement of a former pre dent to pnswer what ? The "call the people ? " Not at all. The call a party ? Not even that. He emerg from his retirement in response to t call of a mere fraction of a par That is what the eight governors n resent. Behind them is a mere fn tion of a traction of the Americ people , and Mr. Roosevelt thinks tl speaking tbiough them is the voice God. How he came to that conclusi we cannot understand , unless bei a spoiled d&rling of fortune fina turns a man's head. Unparalleled Egotism. Louisville Courier Journal : C who broke every precedent and trf tion of his office while he was In i white house and broke one aim every day can only be eager to bn the third term tradition , about only one he has not yet broken. would cap his insatiable ambition th be recorded in history as the fl In n'Bn bold enough to brush aside t af tradition and seize the presldencj , third lime. Besides , his egotism Is II- I llmltablc , unpnntllolcd In any gonor- ntiun of the American people. He actually believes that he Is the only man to do the "Job" of governing his country as It ought to be governed and , for that matter , to do any other i. , 's II ought to be done1 and he has got It into his head that the Inhabi tants of this country , If not of all the others countries , believe that also. Just Suppose. Omaha Bee : Suppose the pages of history turned back to 1890. Suppose In that memorable cam paign Wlllmni Jennings Bryan was elected president instead of William McKinli-y. Suppose as the campaign approached - e-d four yonrs later Mr. Bryan an nounced bis candidacy for renomlnti- tion. Suppose people then reminded him of this sentence in his letter formally accepting the democratic nomination : 1 hereby announce , with all empha sis which words can express , my fix ed determination not , under any cir cumstances to be a candidate for ro- eleetion In ease this campaign results In my election. Suppose the response Of Mr. Bryan to be , "When J said that , I did not expect lo be n candidate ngnin. Times Vave changed. What 1 meant was that I would not be a candidate again after 1 wis ; once re-elected. " Just suppose , if you can , what Theodore Roosevelt would bo paying about Mr. Bryan. Sioux City Journal : "I will accept the nomination for president If it Is tendered to me , and 1 will adhere to this decision until the convention lias expressed it ? preference' . " The answer of Col. Roosevelt Is only surprising In its language. That he has been scheming to get in lias been apparent to every student of the game1. The talk about an uprising , an overwhelm ing demand , a clarion call to public1 duty , has been of the type of the ad vance agent in ward politics. The an- Lwer to the governors is intended to be dramatic. The meeting in Chica go , the Columbus appearing , the trip to Boston , the climax iu the giving e.ut of the letter at the colonel's of fice in New York , during his ab sence , presents material for a play , If Phineas Taylor Banium were alive he would greatly enjoy Theo dore Roosevelt , whom he would bi ( compelled to rank as a progressive. " 1'nder no circumstances will I be u candidate for or accept another nomination. " Bah ! He did not mean it. "J will accept the nomination if it is tendered to me , and I will adhere to this decit-ion until the convention has expressed its preference. " And then ? If the preference expressed Is not to his liking he will do as he ; pleases. He may lead a third party The colonel is self conscious thai he easily could get another call. An Ideal Shattered. New York Evening Post : Can he be entirely aware of the full weight ol the grevious burden which he is bind ing on his own back ? We doubt it We should hate to think , for example that he had deliberately consideratec and coolly disregarded the fact Um he was about to shatter the Ideal o : Roosevelt which has been admiringly however , mistakenly cherished al over the country. For in that Idea one element has been the conceptior of him as a man fit to stand on UK holy hill be-aus-e he sweareth to hi ! own hurt and charigeth not. But nov lie is been to be false to his plightcc faith. What he had voluntarily am solemnly assured the people that IK \\ould do under no circumstances. h < now proposes to do without explana tion or a glimmer of remorse. Thou sands of his truest friends have beei vehemently asserting for three year : past that Theodore Roosevelt was in capable of doing this thing. Whnteve else he might be , he was a man o his word. But this trust in him hi has now daehed to the ground. In btead of the ideal Roosevelt , we sei u Machiavellian prince acting on tin maxim that a "signore prudente" doe not feel bour.d to stand by his pledge when they can be turned against him orUibn his motive for making then no longer exists. A Case of Ego. Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune : Th only basis upon which the Roosevel entrance into the fight may be coi sistently defended , is on the theor that President Tuft is unworthy of n election. The valorous rough ride however , sweeps away this theory b declaring that he will support the pri sent occupant of the white hous should the latter succeed In cuptu Ing the nomination. All of whic simplifies the situation and make his ambition explicable on a sing : ground. He evidently is t.o great ! afflicted by "exaggerated ego" tin he believes he alone of all the men : the republican party is worthy of tl position of standard bearer in tl forthcoming campaign. The Co onel's Explanations. Omaha Bee : The explanations ( fered by Col. Roosevelt to Justify ii present candidacy for a third ten notwithstanding his repeated declai tion that under no conditions won 3f he accept another presidential noml in ntlon are Interesting , if not convii ig ing. He now says that when ho BJI ly "another nomination" he meant me ; ly a nomination for another consei live term , nnd that the Interventl of four years in private life has 10 leased him from his self-impos 11. pledge. Assuming that he is correct in st in the construction placed upon 1 language of 1904 , reiterated in 1 ! > the regrettable thing is that C It Roosevelt did not make his mean ! teat plain nt the time so that both Trie and foe could have understood at j along Just how long his abnogat a i was to last The public , too , mil liavo KtioBHod bettor the imrpoio o Uie swing r.round the circle after em erglng from the Jungle and the spec laeular reentry into New York state politics in 1010. Had the people o New York only known that the cam 1-Klgn tw.jyon'-s ago was but .t prelmh to a third te 1.1 presidential candldac.i In 1912 , they might possibly him voted different'.y. Another ptirt of the explanation thn suggests still further explanation b the assertion that the precedent for bidding a third term grew out of tin fact that a fiesldent "can , If be knowi how to use the machinery at his ells posal , renomlnnte himself evet though n muojrlty of his party b against him , " which objection does not apply to nn ex-president out o office for four years. Col. Hoe < ievc1i never objected to a second consecn tlve term on this account , he , him self , having tnlen ; advantage of hit possession nf the machinery of gov eminent , not only to renomlnnte him self , but nlKO to nominate his PUCCCS ser , and' presumable Is of the same opinion as to n second consecutive term. If , then. Col. Hoosevolt goes bad' ' Into the whl'e house , will he seek re election in 1UO. ! Would any objec tion withstand the precedent of twe consecutive terms twice for the saint president If separated by a tour-yeni period of prHate llfn ? In other words does a third term carry with II i fourth term , which Col. Roosovcl himself says he could have If he want ed It if reinvested with official pow er ? Where Is the stopping point be tween three te-rms and thirty terms t ( which the editor of the Outlook has refered ! with approval ? And if the people , who eitight nt nil time's to rule desired his nomination in 1J10S , at many of them doubtless did , whj should they have been compelled bj him to deprive themselves of tin services of their strenuous presiden even for a four years' intermission1 The colonel's explanations throv the ( jucstion box wide open.
