lustration OF the value OF integrity In
young men. as the safest and truest
stepping stone 10 real success. that the
News selects few paragraphs from II:
Three years ago Bird 5. Coler, comp
troIler OF the city OF New York, was
simply young man OF respectable
standing In his limited circle In Brook
lyn. When he was nominated for comp
troller probably not a score OF the Man
haitian delegates knew who he was. Yet
today Bird S. Coler Is one of the best
known men in the state OF New York,
d rapidly acquiring a national reputa-
tion. and is quite likely to be his party's
candidate for the governorship at the
coming election. For a man only 80
years old Mr.. coler has gone far. How
did ne do it?
Chiefly by attending strictly to his
own business and doing his duty with
all his might.
Political afiliation made him no
friend to political thieves; he defied all
political intrigues which touched the
integrity OF his Office. He did his work
thoroughly and well. lie persuaded
when he could. and used force when
he could not persuade. He did not
trumpet his own praises. He gave the
public clear and convincing reasons for
his acts and formulated policies which
all could understand.
He made no parade with reform Ia
bel. but simply, quietly. but effective
Iy. Mr.. Coler performed his duty, and
now the papers a thousand miles from
home are commencing his cxcellencies.
The rise of Bird s. coIer is an ex-
couragement and an example to young
men OF conscience and ability in poll
tical organizations. Such men. willing
TO work In the public service with their
whole strength and ready to use the
tools at hand until they can get bet
ter. are needed in Chicago today. They
are needed all over the United States.

Considering the Monroe doctrine, Mr.
Elihu Root, secretary OF war, says I'VE
must fight or abandon it, This utter
ance comes in speech at the Grant
Monument association dinner on Fri
day last in New York. Mr.. Root said
concerning the character of Gen.
Grant: HE was man OF stern de-
termination, OF quiet and modest cour-
arr and should be the exemplar of
American temper. Fixed determination
to succeed was the keynote to his char
acter."
The influence OF these characteristics
Sn Gen. Grant upon the authority OF the
Monroe doctrine, and its power. Mr..
Rooh thus describes:
There is no doubt that the COM
nanding power and prestige of Grant
at the close Of the war constituted the
chief element i'm the forces which re-
instated in its authority and power the
doctrine OF Monroe. IL was the fact
that that great commander was ready
20 lead the American forces in battle
which made Il unnecessary that there
should be war with France In the en-
forcement OF the Monroe doctrine when
Maximilian invaded Mexico"
That this country VIII not abandon,
but will reafiirm Il. Is the belief OF Mr..
Root. and FOR this country To be pre-
pared for II is what he wishes.
mo man who carefully watches the
signs OF the times can fail 10 see that
the American people will within a few
years have 10 either abandon the Mon
roe doctrine or fight for IL. and we are
not going 20 abandon IL. If necessary
we will fight for II. but unless there Is
a greater diligence I'm legislation In the
future than IN The past when the time
comes II may hnd us unprepared. We
will never give up the Monroe doctrine.

At o'clock tonight, a car. presumably

When the car reached the intersection Of
Park and Compton avenues 1t was
stopped by mob of strike sympa thlZers
who made a hostile demonstration. EXdst
details as to just what occurred are not
known, but fragmcntary accounts re-
ceived up town by telephone are to the
effect that as soon as the car was halted
the men on board opened on the crowd

another striking motorman. received a
serious bullet wound and an unknown
