MIR. Roosevelt AND THE EX-
CISE LAW.

We have no admiration for NJ Rose
welt because he is a strong Republican
partisan posing as non partisan. As a
Civil Service Commissioner he was en-
gagged in minimizing the good record of
the Democrats and magnifying the good
record of Republicans. He loses no OPP
portunity to denounce Secretary Carlisle,
falling to denounce Mr.. Wanamaker,
who violated the civil service law more
fagrantly, by Mr.. Harrison's and Mr..
Roosevelt's help, than any public officer
since the law was enacted.
But with all this, Mr.. Roosevelt has in
him much to be commended. He is
brave and he has nerve. As Chairman
of the Police Commission in New York
he is enforcing the Sunday closing law
with vigor that challenges admiration.
There is story to the effect that, some
days ago, the Mayor, who became alarm
ed because of rigorous enforcement,
sent for Mr.. Roosevelt and suggested
that he 'let up little" giving the wink
to the saloons to be prudent with their
back doors on Sunday. "They say"
that Mr.. Roosevelt talked to the Mayor
IN so breezy way as almost to take the
breath of that official, telling him that
no influence would prevent his executing
the law faithfully. If this is 50, praise
too high cannot be accorded him.
In recent speech before the Conven-
ton of Catholic Abstainers, Mr.. Roose-
vest won the heartiest applause, just after
Mr.. O'Sullivan, a consistent Catholic who
had criticized Mr.. Roosevelt's enforce
ment of the excise law had been
Kissed by his hearers. If his whole
policy is outlined in the following ex-
tract from his speech, good citizens
everywhere will commend the work being
done in New York:
II and my colleagues, two of one party
and two of the other, have known no
politics in the police board The other
day we reduced to the ranks two rounds
men who had not performed their duty.
They are beginning to understand that
that is our way. We promoted two men
in their places who had proved them,
selves to be brave heroes, who performed
their duty faithfully. Some of the poll
ticians of my own party came to me and
said that the two men had reduced
were Americans, Professionals and Repub-
licans, and that the two men had pro-
NOTED were of Irish parentage, of the
Catholic faith, and I believe tariff re-
formers. Ny answer was that we cared
nothing for their birth, their creed or
their politics, but that if they did not do
their duty their heads would go off as
quickly as the heads Of their predeces
sors had"
