OUR TEDDY.

If asked to point out typical
American citizen, with emphasis on
American, a consensus of opinion
would name Theodore Roosevelt,
governor of New York, and the Re-.
publican nominee for viceI presi-
dent. He stands for patriotism,
purity, breadth, vigor and ability
in political methods and govern
mental administration. He is the
embodiment of enthusiasm. and it
is of that contagious sort which
communicates to all who come in
contact With it. He is positive in
expression, as in action. There is
nothing equivocal or uncertain
about him. He has convictions,
and the courage ofthem; and every
one of them is permeated and sat
urated with intense American pa
triotism.
The national convention of Re-
pu blican leagues met in st. Paul
on Tuesday, and Mr.. Roosevelt
was there and made a ringing
speech, opening the campaign.
Such an ovation as was rendered
him was without precedent in Min.
nesota. 1t was splendid and sig
nificant tribute to the man and
those things for which he stands.

The conflicting rumors from
China leave little to be said on this
tremendous question, which is en-
gaging the attention of the whole
world, at this time. 1t was report
ed that the Boxers, an insurrection-
airy element, had risen in Picking,
the national capital, with hatred
for foreigners, had murdered all
foreign ministers and legation at
taches, missionaries, native con-
verts to Christianity, merchants -
in fact all foreigners of whatever
nationality. BY reference to the
news columns of the HERALD, which
are largely taken up with Chinese
news, it is still doubtful as to the
exten, of atrocities. Meantime
the allied nations are putting SOL
diers into China as rapidly as pos
sible to protect their interests, and
the United States is moving with
the other powers. Within a week
something more definite will be
known, forming a basis for settled
opinion of the situation, which is
now chaotic.

Condition Of Dr. ID. OIin Leech.

The results of the accident to DIR. D. o.
Leech. reported in Tuesdays Star. are more
serious than first supposed. 1t is said he
was changing the bride Of his horse,
high-spirited animal, in front Of sadilers
on H street near 14th street northeast.
Before the bride could be adjusted a large
wagon came rafting close behind, frighten-
ing the animal, and it started off in sharp
trot, the doctor clinging to its head and
neck in his effort to stop its progress. He
was dragged for nearly a square. where he
fell. one wheel passing over his right leg.
The horse also was brought down, falling
heavily on the Doctors left side and shoul
der.
The conclusion broke two of his left ribs
and jammed his head and left shoulder
against the asphalt of the street. One of
the hoofs cut deep cash four inches long
on the right side of his head On reaching
his home in the police patrol wagon several
physicians were summoned. The chief in
jury seems to have been to the left shoul-
der and lung from the effects of which DIR.
Leech is confined to his bed, suffering
greatly. 1t is believed, however, that the
pain will soon pass away.

be one of the features of the celebration
December IL of the centennial anniversary

participate on such an occasion If a change
is made in the character of the parade.

in which civic and veteran organizations

ton of the subcommittee will be the sub
ject of a report to the full committee.

A special to the New York Sun states that

passage tvery comforting may it prove to

we are in favor of a civil service reform
that means something. not a civil service
reform that permits one President to sus-
pend the civil service until he gets his
friends into office. and permits another
President To extend the civil service just as
he is going out. We are in favor of fixed
terms of office In the civil departments of
the government. We want ii so that when
a man goes into office he will know how
long he Is going To stay and when he is
going out. We DO not want to build up an

conditions are likely to have no concern
except to draw their salaries. We believe
