IRoosEvELTs SPLENDID CIVIL


From the New York Herald: Theo-
dore Roosevelt is fond of repeating a
West African proverb:
Speak softly and carry a large
stick and yous will go far
Its application to New York politics
is supposed to be that the amiable re-
publican who travels, not seeking q
quarrel. but fully equipped to particl-
pate in one if it be forced upon him, is
likely to succeed. while the lusty indi-
vidual who is always seeking a fight.
but isn't prepared to fight, is bound
to fail.
How does the Congo proverb bear on
the governors own political fortunes?
How soft has been the governors
speaking? How large and awe-inspir-
ing is his stick? How far will he go?
Governor Roosevelt. in the first
place, has gone through almost three
quarters Of his term without an open
rupture with the Republican state ma
chine. He has had many struggles
with it. Sometimes he has worsted it;
sometimes it has worsted him. The ma
chine has frequently roundly cursed
him, and the governor has frequently
warmly sworn at the machine.
He has made Senator Plat much
| trouble. Yet he has always fought the
senator fairly, and, what is more i'm
portant, he has never sought to build
up an opposition machine for himself.
! That was the fatal mistake Governor
| Black made.
Roosevelt's attitude has been this
that he was not machine politician;
| that he could not understand machine
| politics. that he would not be coerced
| by the fear of not getting renomina-
ton, and that the machine could nom
| mate him or not, just as it pleased.
Then he has invariably said that he
would like to be renominated for gov
ernor, and gone ahead trying to make
the best record he could.
There can be no question that Gov
ernor Roosevelt has been consclen-
| tious governor. He has tried to do the
right thing. 1t would be difficult to
point out in his whole career at AL
bany a single vicious law that he tried
to have passed. or a single bad man
whom he tried to put in Office One of
the best things about Governor Roose-
welt has been that he has never tried
to please everybody.
| 1t was Governor Roosevelt's own in
dividuality that forced the legislature
to pass the bill providing for tene-
ment house commission. The plan for
a commission to revise the charter OF
the city of New York was agreed to by
Governor Roosevelt and Senator Plat
and by them forced through the legis-
lature. The plan to have the best men
Of all parties represented on the COM
mission was the governors.
Governor Roosevelt has stirred UP
the party In numerous directions. His
determination to get Louis F. Payn out
Of the insurance department never
wavered, although he was threatened
with political destruction IL he went
ahead. His determination to reform
the fish, forest and game commission
was formed long ago, but not made
known until the Payn business was ou,
Of the way. His decision to put every
man who was not veteran out of tbs
board of managers of the Bath Sol
diers' Home met with the solid oppo
sition of both political machines, but
he did it. Against similar opposition
he has succeeded in reforming the Ell
mira correctional insti, Dion.

ROOSEVELT AS A POLITICIAN.

From the Brooklyn Eagle Dem. /:
Roosevelt is by nature fighter. He
has all the stubborn tenacity that was
inherited with his Dutch blood, coupled
with an almost Celtic willingness to
combat anyone or anything, anyhow Or
anywhere he deems proper and neces-
sary. Nevertheless, there Is always
purpose in his action. Nor can 1t be
said that selfishness has had promin-
ent part In his impulses. When be
fought against two parties to push
through the bills giving Comptroller
Coler of New York city the right to
pass upon prices paid by departments
for goods purchased and supervision in
the confession of judgments the lead
ers of his party came to him and said I:
Governor, you are building up a
powerful rival for you next fall"
Maybe So" he said, "but he Is right,
and he is going to have those bills If
I can get them through for him." And
he got them through. Again, two OF
his best friends in the legislature,
Speaker Nixon and Leader Aids, came
to him and begged him not to force
through the canal appropriation bill.
1T is suicide to do it," they pleaded,
"for it will lose votes for you among
the farmers and in the districts that
elected you. 1t is ungrateful and ex-
tremely bad politics
The governor appreciated their argi-
ment and did not say they were wrong
in presenting it, He simply shook his
head and said: you are right, but
this Is a case where the few must give
way for the benefit of the many. 1t
must go through" And 1t went
through.

ROOSEvELT'S RELATIONS WITH
PLATT.

4
He consults Senator Plat because
he knows him to be the leader of the
state organization, in whose hands the
majority Of active Republicans see fit
to leave the machinery of politics.
There is equal truth In the statement
that he has refused to take his advice
in many more matters and has thor
oughly enjoyed the resultant struggle.
| The stubborn determination of the
man was shown as strongly as any
where In the Payn controversy. Roose-
welt believed Lou Payn to be the wrong
man to hold the powerful Office of in
surance superintendent. He spoke
softly to Chairman Odell and Senator
Platt of his intentions, while the big
stick Of the South African proverb
! which he carried was carefully con-
cealed. He asked them to name a
! good, honest, representative and capa-
! bic man, who would be agreeable to
| him and to the organization, as Mr..
Payns successor. Mr.. Plat simply
said in his cold, calm, commanding
way that Payn was to remain. Roose-
welt showed his teeth and left for AL
bany. Later on Mr.. Plat suggested
another man who would have been a
| counterpart Of Payn. Roosevelt's no
caused rumors of split in the Repub-
lican party, or threats OF refusal to
reuominate and other dire things,
while Payn uttered defiance and de-
fclared he could not be removed. Roose-
Welt savagely grinned and sent for
some of the Democratic senator's. That
was the beginning of the end.
l
in the public mind the word Is associ-
ated with that always conspicuous spe-
cies of humanity who sees no good in
anything political, even though 1t may
be Of their own creation, fortnight
after 1t has been given birth. Roosevelt
Is not reformer in that sense, what
ever he may have been years ago. He
is firm believer in organization, and
has only contempt for the men who
carp and croak at the corruptions of
politics, while they sit comfortably be-
fore their fires at home and let the
men they criticise run the primaries.
Yet Roosevelt admires and earnestly
believes in personal independence, not
only in the Office holder, but in the
| man who has but his vote to control
No man appreciates more than he the
rapacity, the self-interest and corrupt
ness that prompt too many moves of
| the political bosses. He believes in or
ganization because he has the instinct
of soldier and can see no result of
permanent value achieved without &C
tive numbers working in unison to eff
| feet 1t. But he is not martinez, and
has no faith In men who have not
| minds of their own. 1t was to Assem-
blymen Morgan and Price of Brooklyn,
two young legislators to whom he took
great fancy, that he said at the be-
| ginning Of the last session: "If you
choose to be cattle, must consult your
driver. Be men and want your ad-
vice"

that wish to discontinue farming, the

on Eighth street and Broadway. Dom
mick Porretto is the only one OF the
partv who lives to tell the tale. Among
the dead are James Wren, his wife ana

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is Ly constiru-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an lnfiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
tube. When the tube gets intiamed
you have a rumblng sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and the tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
