THROUGH OMAHA ON HIS WAY
TO CHEYENNE.
TALKS OF OUR PRIMARY UW
Refuses to Make a Speech Because
He Will Again Be in Omaha and
Talk September 2d.
Omaha. Colonel Roosevelt has no
use for the kind of primary law that
Nebraska has at present. He said so
in no uncertain terms Friday, on his
special car, while entering Council
Bluffs.
The colonel had been advised to be
careful in the framing of the proposed
primary law in New York, "so that
you do not get such a law as we have,
where the members of one party can
go Into the primary of tiie other and
nominate its candidates."
"My dear sir, I don't favor that kind
of a law. I have said I favor the
Hughes law, which contemplates that
men shall vote only in the primaries
of their own party, as indicated by
their registration."
Then Colonel Roosevelt gave fur
ther endorsement by saying: "And
then we want a corrupt practices act
strong enough to prevent the undue
use of money or other influences in
jthe nomination and election of candi
dates." When told some agitation was al
ready on in Nebraska for the adoption
of the Oregon corrupt practices act.
the colonel uttered a hearty. "Good!"
The former president made one of
the shortest speeches in his life at
the Omaha Uuion depoL He had just
stepped out on the rear platform on
the Northwestern train, hat in hand
and hand in air. when someone
shouted, "Say something!"
"Oh, no." said the colonel, "I am go
ing to speak in Omaha shortly, ami
this afternoon I am very glad indeed
to see you." With another wave or
the hand and a big smile lie turned to
go back Into his car. but just as he
was about to enter the car he saw
two small hoys, with suit cases, stand
ing by tho steps.
"Hello, there how perfectly bully
this seems. Come on aboard, here.
Let down that step, someone."
Roosevelt gave the smaller one a
hug and the larger oae a loving pat.
The boys were Archie Roosevelt, his
son, and his companion.
A reporter boarded the special train
at Missouri Valley and was given an
ppportunity to meet Colonel Roose
velt before the train got to Council
Bluffs. The colonel was joviality it
self in his greeting and admitted he
had enjoyed the trip to date. Mr.
Campen mentioned the name of some
one Roosevelt knew on the Isthmus.
file's the salt of the earth," was the
exclamation,
"Three thousand of us are going
down there for the celebration when
they open the canal." said the Omaha
engineer, who wears a Roosevelt
medal given to certain employes.
"So am I. by jove." replied the
colonel, "and I can't tell you how glad
I am to meet you."

When tl
lie newspaper man was in-
troduced. taking his cue from an in
struction given by the manager of the
trip, he said, "Colonel Roosevelt. 1
wouldn't take an interview if I could
get one."
"That's right, that's right." came
sharply through the smile.
On this trip Colonel Roosevelt has
made a rule that he will not give an
interview to any Individual newspa
per man. but twice a day he meets
the two score of newspaper represen
tatives in a litle parlor of his car and
holds a conference at which ho gives

Serious Disorder in Portugal.
Lisbon. Aug. 2C. via Frontier. Se

for Army Horses
A third marking takes place when the
horse is sent from the army remount
depot to the troop or battery, and It
must be renewed from time to time.
It is Captain Conrad's idea that a
more enduring designation could be
accomplished by applying a mark to
the inside of the upper Up of the
horse. He has devised an instrument
for this purpose, and suggests the use
of India ink. w,ith the result that the
numeral adopted will be indelible.
This will require, of course, a regular
system of marking so that there may
be no duplicates. By this means a
horse accepted for military service
will keep its number. It may be nec
essary to have legislation to prevent
tampering with the designation or ma
king use of a similar mark in the case
of horses not used in the military
service.
Captain Conrad's quest is expected
to lead to several important acquisi
tions during the coming year. By this
method the middleman is avoided, and
horses are obtained at a much lower
price than under the contract system.
Besides, there is a better opportunity
of selection, and controversies are
avoided which so often have prevailed
between the government representa
tives and the contractors who fail to
comply with specifications in the de
livery of military animals.
When the recent convention be
tween Russia and Japan was sprung
on the world American diplomats ex
pressed little surprise. The govern
ment has believed from the first there
Is a secret article in this convention
which has not been made public. It is
felt the unpublished portion is an
agreement on the part of the two na
tions to support each other in barring
other nations from the territory in
question. The United States intends
to force Russia's hand and determine
whether such a secret bargain exists.
The concession granted to the English
American syndicate was for the con
struction of the Chin-Chow-Aigun rail
road line. English capitalists were to
furnish the funds and the materials
were to be built in America.
There is one drawback to the situa
tion from the standpoint of this gov
ernment. England for some unknown
reason, is weakening. Her enthusiasm
for the joint undertaking cooled per
ceptibly after Russia had entered an
objection. Diplomats seem to think it
quite likely that the United States will
have to make the fight single-handed
to keep Manchuria open with equal op
oprtuuity to all nations.
on the Opium Evil

through which opium producing coun
tries will protect, by means of gov
ernment supervision, ports where the
importation of the drug is prohibited.
The first realization of the serious
ness or the opium traffic so far as the
United States is concerned came when
the government started to put the
Philippines in order. An attempt to
regulate the unlimited traffic there
called for the appointment of a com
mission. The commission in tracing
the many Americans engaged In the
opium trade found that the United
States, with some 200.000 American
users of smoking opium, to say noth-
! ing of the Chinese users here, pre
sented almost as serious a question
as the insular possessions. Since that
time the United States has led the
light among the powers against the
drug.
About a year ago a law absolutely
prohibiting the importation into this
country of opium for any except medi-
umui iuiiucj ; .-ij... ...v
