The past ten days have proven that
"the distinguished skulker Of San
Juan hill," as Senator Teller calls
Roosevelt, is the idol of the western
states, and that all efforts of political
mud singers to belittle his fame only
add to his popularity with the people
of this section.

The Assignment for Mr.. AItgeId,

A fortnight or more ago the democrats
were inviting suggestions as to a good man

Sulzer. 1T will be remembered was figuring
on this assignment at the time he was ask
ing to be put on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan.
He modestly engaged, If nominated, 10

fessor in both appearance and delivery
could not hope to sway crowd which a
few days before had been enthused by a
man of tremendous energy, and hearty,
snappy talking power.
Why not M. Altgeld? His speech at To-
ledo. Ohio. Wednesday night, would indi-
cate willingness on his part to undertake
the task. He devoted the whole of it to
Gov. Roosevelt. He said nothing new or
striking. He threshed over in a common
place way the old straw used in the New
York campaign of 1898. and added the usual
silly word about the St Paul speech. But
the Toledo speech shows that Mr.. Altgeld
has the Rough Rider in mind, and he ought

mission. and instruct him to follow the trail
closely and to the end.
The two men are wholly unlike, and yet
each is a man of force. In the former we
have one Of the very best equipped young
men Of his generation-for public business
He has stamina. Information. initiative and
experience He stands for definite policies,
and the best policies. He has served as a
state legislator. and an executive In
national. state and municipal posts. He Is
an Inspiration for good to all the young
men of the day. Born to wealth. he might
have turned to fashion and become a
dawdler and a loafer. He turned to study
and hard work instead. and at a trihe over
forty is national figure of the first conse-
Quence.
In the other we have probably the most
dangerous man in his party. An agitator
and a dreamer; d fluent apostle of discon-
tent and unrest: the advocate of cheap
money and state socialism,; the pardoner
when in Office OF convicted anarchists, Mr.
Altgeld. IL placed near the President of the
United States and with influence over him,
would work incalculable harm to the coun-
try and to his party. Still he is the man TO
go after" Theodore Roosevelt. Turn him

diplomatic relationship, nor do they inev-
itably lead to their severance.
The time may soon come when this coun-
try will be obliged to issue a virtual ulti-
matum, to ask for a restoration of commu-
nication with Minister Conger in terms of
absolute demand. coupled with a distinct
threat of force If this demand is not COM
piled with. Mr.. Hays note to Ii Hung
Chang contained preliminary expression of
this demand. but Ii Hung Chang is not the
Chinese government. When the occasion
arises for the presentation of the ultimate
proposal Minister WI will be utilized a
medium of communication, not the vicerey
of a province.
Nor will the United States be likely to
utter an ultmatum Independently of the
other powers without ascertainng their
purposes and their strength. 1t would be
worse than folly to fling final demand in
the face of China without being prepared to
enforce it, alone or in conjunction with our
present allies. As the case now stands it
is acknowledged that a military conquest
of China to force compliance with the re-
quirements of civilization will call for an
international army, rather than one COM
posed of the troops of but single power.
This is necessary from both the diplomatic
and the military points of view, to preserve
international peace and to insure victory
against the enormous masses of Chinese
soldiery.
Thus any pronouncement calculated to
bring the relations of the United States
with China to the breaking point must be
withheld until the United States is in posi-
ton to make good it's words. At the pres
ent outlook 1t is probable that when the ul
timatum reaches Pekin it will bear the
signs manual of all of the great powers,
and will represent the united demand of the
civilized world upon China tn restore COM
muncations. to give guarantees for the
future and to admit the allies for the pur-
pose of reinforcing those guarantees.

There Is nothing in Secretary Hays cir
cuiar note. published yesterday, to warrant
the assumption that the United States has
served China with an ultimatum. Yet such
an Interpretation has been placed upon the
document In certain quarters today. and
the Impression seems to have gained ground
that the United States has forced China to
the point OF declaring war. The fact Is
that Mr. Hay has merely declined to nego-
tiate with China on the basis of a release
nf the ministers provided the international
advance ON Pekiu is checked. He has die
taLed no terms TO China other than those
which were submitted when the President
replied to the appeal for mediation. HI. has

The question of shirts among them is
really worthy of official study. Whether
they have been encouraged by the warm
discussion over male attire, or are merely
following the laws of evolution. the result
is that the corps today presents an alto

the city and a reproach to the memory of
the late Col. Waring, the originator Of the
idea of uniformed street sweepers.
There is something more than esthetics in

II he Is elected? That is fair question,
which calls for a frank and manly answer.
He says he Is against imposing government
on people. Does he mean it, or is he only
using catch phrase to get votes? II he
means it, then it must be that he will in
stantly withdraw our troops and give the
Fiipinos free chance to set up such gov
ernment as they desire and murder such
foreigners as they please; for II our exer-

Al this writing there seems no doubt that
the expected has happened in North Caro-

hiiterates to vote the amendment is as
frank a violation of the federal Constitu-
ton as the methods of intimidation and yio-
lence by which 1t was carried were a frank
violation of the usages of civilization. The
benefit of the amendment is that 1t will

WEST HAVEN BOROUGH MEETING
Changes in the Charter Recommended
 at Saturdays Meeting.

Changes in the Charter Recommended
 at Saturdays Meeting.
 The adjourned meeting of the citizens of the West Haven borough was held Saturday night and all the unfinished business was disposed of. The meet ing was we'll attended, but there was less excitement than at the meeting of Tuesday. The purpose of the meet ing was to act upon recommendations made by the committee on charter re- vision, but as the committee was not quite ready to report when Warden Thompson opened the meeting another matter was suggested by James Gardi- ner Clark for action. MT. Clark want ed, as matter of principle, and as es- tablishing limit to certain expendi- lures, that all contracts for work given out the cost for which would exceed S2oO, should be let by competitive bids. Ex- Warden Kimberly and others be- lieved that the plan would prove un- satisfactory both to the borough and to contractors, and that it would not be practicable. The resolution was passed.
 The charter committee then, through it's chairman, Charles K. Bush, made it's report of changes proposed in the charter. There were four of them in all, and the report in it's entirety was accepted, and the general assembly will be petitioned for the necessary power to make the amendments to the borough charter. The most important change recommended by the committee relates to the method of electing members for the borough board.
 The new method suggested provides that each party shall nominate five candidates for the borough board. The two parties will put ten candidates in the field, and as suggested by others, should the socialists and the prohibi- tlonists join in there would be twenty candidates for election. But the rule provides that the six candidates that get the highest number of votes shall be declared elected. The chances are that the effect of this change will be that either the democrats or republi- cans will have majority in representa- ton in the board.
 There was but very little opposition to the change.
 Other changes were: That bylaws adopted by the board of warden and burgesses shall become operative with in thirty days and that the repeal of such shall be made only by vote of the citizens and with the use of ballot | and the check list; that the borough as- sessors shall reassess property accord ing to Improvements made, and that | they shall not act strictly according to the town grand list
