That Theodora Roosevelt never expected
o be elected to the presidency of the
Lnlted States because of the powerful op
position f "Mann, and that crowd." as
ha himself expressed It. Is the story told
by Undeay Denlaon in hla article on "Seven
Tears of Rooaevelt" In the March number
of tha Circle Mage sine.
Td rather be elected to that office than
have anything tangible pf which I know "
he quotes Roosevelt as aaylng in 1908. "But
MVT elected to it. They don't
want me, Hanna and that rmaj tv..
dona me. They've finished me. I'm sorry.
. ..nra ,a oe elected president ,pf the
United States just once.''' '
Tha remarkable Interview which haa juat
come ta light took place In Dee Moines. Ia.,
in 180, where a great dcmamtntin. w.J
been accorded Prealdent Roosevelt. Mr
Ljenison, men a reporter for the New York
Sun, In describing the scene, says:
It must be remembered that wa were all
oraay that day crowd crasy. When I
reached the president the train had started.
The train chuck-a-lucked over the froga
for mile after mile, but the number of peo
ple who had piled out of the city to get a
laat look at the nation s chief seemed even
greater thaa the moba which had surged
around him all day. And rvery man. woman
and ehll.l aeemed to have a flag and a
husky voice to cheer with :n the flag
waved.
"Worth while. Isn't It." I said at laat,
"to the prealdent of the Cnlted StateaT"
Right there, once for all. for keepa. I got
what In the newapaper bua'nesa we call
"a straight fluah" on Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States.
And not all the contempt of the organlxed
rich or tha aad ravlnga of the r-rganlsed
poor, or dlaguat for the mmhy adoration
of the automatically hypnotised biograph
ers, or even the shork of finding myself
the holder of a visitors csrd 'or the
Ananias club haa ever destroyed the Im
age that was then developed or -the Ameri

alderatlon. - - '
"Yes. It Is worth while," he said, "put
that ia not tha real thing, bark of all
this " He swept hia arm, to include that
crowd: "1 know what thla means. It doea
not mean 'We are for Theodore Roosevelt.'
It would not even mean 'We are for George
Waahtna-tou Ar fkinnn l,N.un - a

The writer knowa (oh, he knowa. If any
body doea) that "the president of the
United Statea la never to be quoted." But,
surely, If one is ever to be forgiven, this
is the open aeason.
"President of the I'nited Statea.' aald
Theodore Roosevelt, reflectively. "I'd
rather be elected to that office than have
anything tangible of which I know. But
I shall never be elected to It. They don't
want me."
"Who. Mr. President T" I murmured fur
I didn't realise what waa at large on the

that crowd. They've dona me. They've
finlahed 'me. I'm eorry. I wanted to be
elected president of the Vnlted Statea just

"But they've cut ma off," he continued.
"I have no machine, no faction, no money.
And all thla," awaepina hla arm nut in
ward rs Moines receding with Its crowds
and emnusissra, "Has no personal signi
ficance.' The article then Quoted Colonel Roose
velt to tha effeot that the enthusiasm
boiled down waa for the flasv-not tnr
Individual and then, returning to the
chance or hla (Roosevelt s) ever being
elected to the presidency the prealdent
said:
'You tee, 1 can't hope to be nominated
without even the aupnort of my own state.
And If you bava read the New York news
papers you have seen the appearance on
the horlaon of a cloud, no bigger than a
man's hand a quarrel between Odell and
PUtt. Neither of tbem knoars. but Hanna
ia tha man who started them fighting.
Sooner or later I will become the bone of
the quarrel aad a subject for elimination.
Then Indiana will be discovered to be for
Hanna. reluctant though he may be to
Usten to such a call. Other atatea wUI be
In doubt, but with New York aad Indiana
agalnat aie wouldn't 1 be foolish to look
forward ta being elected president of the
fnited States'"
Mr. Oenleon adds: "Incidentally, 1st It
be remembered thai after the New York
cloud had grows to a tornado, 1 after
Theodore Roosevelt's rowers of prophesy
had been vindicated by an outburst of
Hanna enthusiasm In Indiana, Marcus A.
Hanna was cut off In his prime by desth,
and Theodore Roosevelt Was elected presi

WAR GOING CUT OF DATE
Modern laveatleas Maklac It Tea
Terrible for Natleaa ta
Rtek.
It Is only a few years sgo since those
who were devoting their strenuous atten
tion to solving, once and for all, tha eon
quest of the air. were regarded somewhst
In the light of "harmless lunatics." '
But within the past IS months such Im
portant discoveries have been made In the
art of flying that there la now no manner
of doubt at all that, before very long, aerial
flight over both long and short distances
will be- of ths most common occurrence.
There are acientlsts, however, who con.
elder that the aeroplane will never be ot
much practical use, except for sporting and
adventurous purposes, but such Is not my
opinion Indeed, I hold totally opposite
views.
The cleverest draughtsmen and acientlsts
In the world sre now devoting their atten
tion to the Invention of a machine that
will be able to do eighty miles an hour at
thla high speed tha machine could be re
duced tn else, and aa auch machines are
now possible, and aa there are men In ex
istence who can make them, I am strongly
ef the opinion that, within tha next twelve
month a, wa aha II have them.
In fact you will see that I am correct tn
predicting that thia year we shall have a
machine larger than that of the Wrights.
The new aeroplane, In fact, will travel
faster than that of the Wright machine.
It will have a perfectly made motor of from
eighty to 100 horsepower, It will be able
to carry l.OflO pounds, It will be able to re
main up for three hours at a time, and will
travel at the rate ot quHe fifty miles an
hour, while In power. It will cost no more
than two-thirds as much as a motor ear.
What will be the street of thia discovery!
Well, In the flrat place, tha effect on the
nation will be that war will be made so
terrible, ao deadly, ao ghastly In Ita results
that we shall have no more war, for with
flying machines, no mstter how great and
powerful your nation may be, H will always
be open to attaok. v
Thua, under cover of darkness and clouds,
an enemy will be able to destroy a city, no
matter how carefully It may be protected,
for attack from the air will never be able
to be realsted. ,
True, In fact that while the enemy la de
atroylng your cities, at the aama time,
maybe, you are destroying his. Is an un
argueable one. but it does not make any
country'a posHlon In any way pleasanter
or more secure.
Wihat about projectiles? Well, to all In
tenta and purposes, they do not enter very
largely Into the matter as, although prq
Jeotlles may be fired by the hundred thou
sand, they are far more Hkely to do dam
age to themselves than to the enemy and
thua, in ten years' time. I have the great
est confidence in predicting that the three
great European powera will be able to eay,
beyond all manner of doubt, "There shall
be no more war."
The flying machine. It must be under
stood, howsver, will never be able to carry
passengers and freight In large quantities,
for It la essentially a miUtary Inatrument,
though, to be sura. It will very shortly be
largely used for sport and discovery while,
when the weather la bad, before long, you
will see that xross-channal malls will be
carried by aeroplane; an Inatrument which,
by the by, will be of extraordinary value
as a recur ot tha shipwrecked mariner.
We must now prepare ourselves to rec
ognise that what electricity waa to the laat
century aerial navigation will be to thia.
And on that account I repeat again that.
In ten years' time, there will be no war.
It la not long to look forward to and
when war la ended once and for all per
haps those who now read these lines will
recall my confident prophecy. Maxim, In
Pearson's Weekly.
INVENTIVE RIVAL OF EDISON
Patrick B. Delaay Father ef the Sys

Trensmlaalon.
An inventor with tw mind of a eer
and a prophet I" Patrick B. Wancy, who
Is now working on problems In wlre'eas
telegraphy st his sutler snd laboratory
at Nantucket. Though conduoting hia re
searches with studious Innlgnt and ab
sorbed attention, aa has always lven his
habit, he Is able to sec ths possibilities
rf utilising the forces of nature In largo
and moat practical ways in the great world
of commerce. Kor example, with an anti
iniluctlon cable- which he once invented,
the Standard t'ndeiground Cable company
of Pittsburg, to which ha sold his patent,
haa become one of the largest cable manu
facturers In the world. Other inventions
of his have greatly enlarged , the sphere
of A merles n prestige in Inventive genius.
Even as a boy, while receiver at a tele
graphic Inatrument In a new paper (fric
at Worcester, Mass.. Mr. Delany aston
Inhed tha veterans by hla ability to take
messagea twenty or thirty words "behind
the wire;" that la, he waa able to re
member the message as It came along and
take It dnwn deliberately almost at leisure.
Before he was H. he filled the principal
posittona in a telegraph office as operator,
fflce manager and superintendent of llne-j.
His inventions in the teh'graph field began
In 1871, at which time and for three years
afterwards he waa areoelated with Mr
Ediaon In experiments in a system of rapid
telegraphy, for whleh a wire waa con.
Structed between New York and Washing
ton, tatter he sold a patent known as
"IVlany'a relay" (or "anti-Page relay." sa
It waa sometimes celled) and a patent on
an antt-tndurtlon cable, both of which In
ventions netted him a fortune, which en
abled him to delve atil! further Into his
chosen profeaalon an opportunity for
which he availed hlmaelf to good purpose.
One of 'the exceptional thlnga about Mr
Delany'a success Is that ha haa been able
from his private meana, which have been
self-earned, to continue his work without
financial difficulties. In lfet he was
awarded the highest honors (a gold medal
and diploma) by tha International Inven
tions Exhibition held In London, and this,
of course, gave him world-wide prestige.
Since thst time his principal inventions
have been in synchronous multiples tele,
graphy. In ocean cable telegraphy at high
speed snd through a repeater, and In
automatie rapid telegraphy. His greatest
Invention Is the Telepost system for auto
matic rapid transmission. This apparatus
roughly described. Iskes down the dots

vogue for many year for picking debating
teams could not be .Improved on, but the
lateat ruling of the faculty adda ta all the
benefita of tha old plan. Hitherto the win
ners of tha Clarke and Bolton prlzea held
places ss speakera, the men receiving
fourth placea acting aa alternates. Outside
Judgea gave their verdict on the merit a of
the speakera, and up to thla time their de
cision was final, no change being made in
tha order of apeakers which thay had de
termined on. The new rule, however, puts
tha power of settling on the order of speak
ers In a committee of ths fseully. From
tha four men chosen by the judgea thia
committee will determine who shall do the

SDl'MTIIW UT THS! SOUTH.
Striking Chapter In the History af
Asaerlraa ( intimation.
Tha last report of tha United States com
missioner of education contained aoma very
Interesting figurea about the educational
progreaa of the south, comments the
Charleston News snd Courier. In 1S04
there were 1,015 high schools in this part
of the country: In 189T there were 1.375. a
gain of 334. There were In South Carolina,
however, three high- schools less In 1907 than
In 1904. During the same period the amount
raised by local taxation for the support of
tha publlo st-hcrls In the south aggregated
JlJ.626.94g. as compared with $8.T2J,16 In
1904, or an increase In three years of S2.S04..
333. The approprlatlona made by the aouth
em states for ths support of the public
school aggregated in 1907 115,212,9:8. as com
pared with tfl,T4.!0 In 1904. or an Increaae
In three years of $3,497,318. Dr. Brown,
tha federal commissioner pf education,
aaya: "Thla southern achool campaign ia
one of the most striking educational move,
ments of our time, and Is making a chapter
of aurpasaing Interest In the history of
American civilization."
It la worthy of note that thia movement
Is also of southern origin, and that it la
paid for by aniithern people. We are getting
away bravely from the educational mendi
cancy which has been preaa-hed unto us
by our friends in other parte of the coun
try, who have manlfeated In recent years
a epeclaeular interest In our educational
uplift, apparently ublivioua of the year of

FINE BUNCH nFJDONKEY BOYS

'
A happy go lucky lot are the donkey
boya of Egypt, bright and full of fun.
quarreling one minute, then singing,
rhougih the latter sounds to American ears
like an awful wall of misery.
Scantily dressed in their blue gowns,
their bare feet toughened to endure any
heat er kind of road, they add greet ly tn
the Interest of tha many trips taken with
them In their land.
The donkey boy haa picked up a few
worda of English. wMch his quick wit
enables him to use effectively- The de
mand for backsheeelh is begun at the first
acquaintance and is kept up constantly.
To reply with decision "nothing." or
"Bukra (tomorrow) backsheesh," some
times has a quieting effect. But begging
Is part ef ths business, and cigarettes,
books, white gloves and slippers were asked
for, while one boy with seeming unselfish
ness pleaded for money to buy sugar cane
for hla donkey.
They alng tha praiaes of the animals
eonatantly. "Thla very good donkey?"
"He very faet." urging him on with the
"Ah-a-ah." and you anawer. "No, don't go
faet, Ala mahlak, a la anahlak." (slowly.
Upon which the boy will urge, "Oh,
Madam, one gallop!"
Many ef the donkeya were fine looking
and decorated with gay brldlea and aad
dlery, and with tbe hair cut In fantastic
patterns, a donkey sheikh owns the ani
mals at sny given place, and tha boys
hired by the day In charge of them get
tihelr pay from the traveler, while the
sheikh la paid for the use of the animal.
Thla explains In part the conatant plea
for backahesh, which should never be given
until one dismounts at the end of the
trip, and then the last minute, aa
they are never quite aatlsfied, demand
more and may make It quite; unpleasant,
for the traveler. It Is a good plan to hare
an understanding In the party and all pay
the aama aum, according to the distance
covered.
The boys fully earn their pittance, going
many miles sometimes for two or tihree
piastres. They are quick to recognize the
nationality of tha tourist. Riding one day
with twa ladlea at Luxor, ons of thsm said:
- "That la a very good donkey you have.
I had him yesterday."
"Yea," aald tha other, "hla name la
George Washing-ton." '
"Why" replied the first, "thst is strange;
yeaterday It waa Tommy Atkins."
Later the rider said to the donkey boy:
"Why did you tell me that the donkey'a
name was George Washington and yeeter
day tell my friend that his name was
Tommy AtkinsT"
"Oh." answered the boy. "aha English,
and those Kngllsh no like Oeorge Washing
ton." Travel Magazine.
