Secretary Root.

The definite choice of a new Secretary Of
War has been effected with less delay than
seemed at first to be probable The Presi-
dent has apparently solved the difficulty
we'll by the choice of Mr. Root whose for
NAL appointment and acceptance are today
announced He is a recent conner in the
field of cabinet possibilities. Although for
some years prominent in New York state
and city politics a republican of a some
what independent disposition. he has par
ticipated but little in national affairs. al
though his advice has often been sought
by members of his party on some of the
larger questions affecting the organiza-
ticn. He stands in the very front "ank of
New York's lawyers. and is widely recog-
nized as a man of unusual capacity and of
determined energy. He is admirably equip
ped to administer the affairs of the War
Department on it's business side Person.
ally. the new Secretary is endowed with
gracious manners and the rare gift of
diplomacy. He is a strong speaker. force
full in his address and skllful in mis- choice
of words. Although he enters office under
somewhat embarrassing circumstances, it
seems TO be the confident expectation of
those who know him well that he will meet
his difficulties shrewdly and successfully.
not permitting them to master him. &c
cordfng to all accounts of the man and his
achievements in the past, he should prove
a substantial addition to the strength of
the cabinet and reliable advisa r to the
President on matters of broad policy. Fo-
ft1cally. the appointment c1mmends itself
as wise. Mr.. Root is not identified with the
machine of the state party. but his repub-
licanism has never been brought into uues-
ton. He was one of the strongest support
ers of Seth Low in the iatter's race for the
mayoralty of New York, and stands today
as one Of Governor Roosevelt's most trusted
counseilors He is a thoroughly representa-
tive New York republican. and in thus
passing a portfolio again to the empire
state without alternating the leaders of the
party there. the President has executed a
shrewd maneuver aside from the personal
merits of the appointee.

An Annoying Syyindle.

A police court case yesterday indicated
how difficult 1t is for the law to reach those
who work what is known as the crayon
portrait game. This particular scheme has
been in operation for several years and has
given endless annoyance to the citizens
while doubtless yielding q handsome profit
on the insignificant outlay of the workers
An agent calls at the house and proposes
to prepare crayon ortrait of an esteemed
member of the family. often ore who has
died, and whose photograph is therefore the
more highly priced. The crayon is TO be
given free an advertisement. The cred
ulous recipient of this favor, most often a
woman who is unacquainted with the wiles
of the swinders. agrees and entrusts the
precious photograph to the agent, who in
due time appears with a cheap solar print
resembling crayon portrait, or sometimes
an actual crayon. which more or less accu-
rately and artistically reproduces the fea-
lures of the subject. The negotiations
however. are never closed without reference
to a frame. which viii cost u rather heavy
sum. 1t Is always the same proposition: q
frame, no photograph. In very many cases
the exasperated woman agrees to take the
frame in order to procure the photograph
and the swindler departs, with his snug
winnings. The frequency with which this
game Is exposed and the success which con-
tinues to attend it Notwithstanding give 1t
resemblance in this particular TO the
green-goods swindle. which has doubtless
been explained thousands of times to the

explosions whereby the young patriot may
express his undying love of country and
his comprehensive appreciation of the
blessings of liberty. Scan the lists of the
dead ard the dying and the MANNED and
see what preponderant proportion of
them are children. Where did these little
martyrs to their own folly find the means
to buy their powder and pistols and crack

the explosives came from a parent. The
Fourth of July fund is in many American
households a sacred institution, to be an

gance in the name of patriotic memory. If
once the stories of lock-jaw and gripping
and shocking can be brought right home
to those who contribute to this fund the
Eravest dangers of Independence day will

the household work together. aided by the

Mr.. Bryan and the Convention

a party matter where personal appeal is

an appetite for oratory.
Presidential candidates, as a rule. do
not push their own fortunes at national
conventions. Gen Garfield vas present

again. and if his personal presence should

to be on hand.

Anti-imperiaii Documents.

brave soldiers of the United States who Sc

leader of the anti-imperialists have never
been displayed more clearly than in this in
suit to the flag and to the American sell
d1ers who have been persistentIy charac-

issued by one Erving Winslow, the secre-

exercises to commemorate the overthrow

the pictures of eminent American states

United States be added that Of Emperor Of

The New CrnSade.

While on every hand there is strong evil
dence of universal desire To limit the null
sances and the dangers attending the de-
generate mode of celebrating Independence
day now in vogue there is likewise a dis
position to question whether anything
practical can be accomplished either
through the law OF by means of public
opinion. to this end. Some observers do
not hesitate to declare that by the next
4th Of July all this effervescence of fndigna-
ton will have died down. and We shall have
another rOusing old ear-splitting day. with
cannon crackers taking of hands and
fingers and toy pistols sending promising
youths To the grave. and small cannon
binding boys and girls. and sky rockets
setting fire to houses. and invalds shocked
into relapses by the din. and the whole
long train of evil consequences. This is a
very low estimate of the common sense of
the people and the value of the light of
publicity which has been shed this wear
upon the dangers of the day as never be-
fore. Now Is the time to agitate this ones
ton. And next June will be another proper
period The issue must be kept alive AT
both ends of the season of comparative
safety. Parents are to be repeatedly
warned of the fact that every penny they
give their youngsters for powder and pis-
tolls and crackers is an investment in the
dangers OF death and destruction of prop
erty- The law may do its best TO minimize
the evil and yet fail of fun reform The
police may supplement the law with extra
energy and yet leave a wide margin of OBJ
portunity for the boys 10 harm themselves
But the final stroke of prevention must be
applied by the fathers and the mothers

Robert G.. IngersOll.

Robert G. 1ngersor was unquestionably
one of the country's most accomplished
orators of the older school His speech
before the republican convention in 1876.

nomination for the presidency, is regarded
today as one of the masterpieces of Amer

Its tactful adaptation of words to influence

In irresistibly controlling those who listen
ed, which is after all the great test of the
orator. 1nsersoll was a well-read lawyer
and had command of a far wider fund of
information than is acquired by the aver
age man. His attitude toward religion
however, served to surround him with an
environment in the public mind which pre-
vented full appreciation of his rare at
tainments and held him out of touch with
many people. In consequence he did not
secure the public position which his powers
as thinker and speaker might under
other circumstances have won for him

people of this country without stopping the
practice. Again and again the police are
appealed to for protection from the photo
graph appropriations, but. as yesterdays
case showed. there is little relief possible
under existing statutes. 1t is difficult to
draw the lire in the phraseologv of law
between the legitimate picture-making in
dustry and the swIndle. yet 1t would appear
that when the game is worked along the
usual lines the courts might be empowered
to hold the offender. One of the most an
noying features of the matter is that these
craycn gamesters move from city to city to
ply their trade and thus slip out of police
reach just often enough to keep going.
While waiting for a law which will effect
some measure of reform in this direction
the people must be on their guard to keep
these so-called agents out of their houses
and to treat them in all cases as suspicious
characters.

The Outrage Libel Finally Squelched

The radical anti-imperialists. who have
been regaling the world with unsubstan-
uatel stories of American cruelty in Luz
ION. have received a severe shock from
one of their most serviceable advocates
the New York Evening Post When the
tales of the atrocities practiced by the
American soldiers on the Filipinos were in
their first circulation the Evening Post
published a few samples to show how
wicked was the government and how re-
voting was the whole program of Philip
pine pacifcatiou. But the peremptory de-
r.iais which came from authentic sources
at Manila, coupled with the general lack
of circumstantia1 accuracy about the let
tiers themselves, in time caused the Post to
doubt the wisdom of giving further publ
cation to what might later prove to be
libels upon the American army. Conse-
quently its special correspondent at Manila
was instructed to Investigate the charges
as far as he could and to report his con-
clusions. To the eternal credit of the Even
ing Post be 1t now recorded that not only
has its correspondent found the letters to
be haseless but ii has had the courage to
publish his report, thus putting a quietus
1t is to be hoped. upon the scandalous mis-
use of the mails which has so foully slurred
the army and through ii the whole body of
American people. The Posts representa-
tive reports that these .'baseless rumors"
of slaughtering prisoners. 1ooting and other
outrages u?on the Filipinos are mot true
IN the form in which they circulate and
few of them have any genuine foundation
whatever" A number of cases investi-
gated by him he found to be absolutely
false The Evening Post has earned praise
for this bit OF sacrihcial enterprise 1t re-
mains to be seen what effect this discIo-
sure. which comes from source that can
not be questioned by the adhereats to its
creed will now have upon the mud-slingers
who have done SO much to besmirch the

comes, the pubiic's present attitude on the
censorship question. Meanwhile it is safe
to assert that a censorship conducted solely
to prevent the enemy obtaining. to the
detriment of our cause, a premature knowl-
edge of the plans of our commanders win
be accepted by the public as one of the
necessities of the situation. One used by a
commanding general to magnify his own
Importance, and to suppress facts that may
be published here without detriment to our
cause, will not be accepted. and will surely
work in its operations the punishment of
its contriver.
