NEWSPAPER OPINION
The Roosevelt Cabinet
From the Richmond Dispatch.

From the Richmond Dispatch.
In nothing has President Roosevelt
displayed more sturdy commonsense
and appreciation Of the grave RESPONSE
bilities that have fallen upon him than
in retaining his predecessors Cabinet
BY keeping the Cabinet in Office he has
not only forestalled the possibility Of
any complication in the matter Of the
succession should he be placed under
bility-which heaven fOrbid-but
has allayed throughout the country all
fears OF financial or other disaster, as
the result Of Mr. McKinley's death. He
has given the most practical assurance
possible OF determination to be
guided in the administration OF his
high office by just the conservatism
that Is needed I'm this hour TO insure
amicable relations with foreign Powers
and the continuance of prosperity and
confidence at home. Far apart as he Is
from us in politics and in views on
certain policies, II is but his due that
we should say he has fully justified so
far the claims Of his most ardent
champions and admirers as 10 the satis-
factory and patriotic manner in which
he would rise to the crisis.

, HARGED WITH A sERIos oRINn

The five young men who were re-
leased from custody in the Municipal
Court, yesterday had a moct unpleas-
ant experience They were charged by
two dissolute women with one of the
worst crimes known to the law. and
whose penalty is death. There being
no court on Sunday. they were com
PEELED to spend two nights and one day
in bare cells, without communication
with their friends. and with an unbail-
able crime charged against them.
The strange part is that their ac-
.eusers are notorious characters, as was
shown by the evidence, and they have
on previous occasions given the police
many uneasy moments. To arrest men
for capital offense upon the evidence
Of such characters, is peculiar, to say
the least. A little investigation before
calling a patrol wagon and making O
public exhibition of the young men
would have revealed all the facts
and no arrests would have been neces-
sary As 1t is, "A scandal Of wide pro-
portions has been started without
other result We do not think the
statement of the police that they were
acting within the law is valid excuse.
Possibly they were, but they necessarily
have the right TO exercise good deal
Of discretion, and am opposite action
would have been within the scope of
their authority
The law has given woman a strong
weapon with which 60 defend her
honor but like any other weapon, II 4,
dangerous when not properly used. A
lying tongue and a strumpets tear,
have brought many an innocent mar
within the shadow OF the gallows. Sucl
cases demand an exercise Of the great
est care and prudence.

The abject meanness OF Senator
Wellington is made evident when IN,
reason for his bitter hatred OF Presi-
dent Mckinley is made plain. Sena-

everyone supposed, 1t was over patron
age Wellington had recommended q
young man for certain consular place
and the President announced the ap.
pointment Then suddenly Wellington
and the young mans father quarrelled
and then the Maryland Senator de-
manded that the appointment be re

do, since the young mans record was
straight. and there was no reason why
he should be made the target OF spite
Then IL was that Wellington discovered
flaws in the Presidents policy. and be-
gan to oppose in the Senate all Admin

A Southern Opinion Of Roosevelt
rom The Charleston News.

From the Charleston News
We believe that Mr.. Roosevelt will
make a strong. safe President; that, in
spite OF his Strenuous" character, he
will be conservative in the conduct OF
our public affairs; that he will be the
instrument to do the will OF no POI
itical combination or clique; that he
viii be President in fact without OBJ
legation to any man or set OF men, and
that he will strive 10 establish 'rela-
tiOns OF mutual respect, confidence and
friendship between not only the peO-
pie Of this country and the world, but
will endeavOr to bring the people of
this country more closely together in
all that pertains to the greatness and
glory OF the United States. He is q
man OF incorruptible integrity, of mar
velOus energy, Of splendid impulses, of
high ideals, of magnificent courage, OF
large experience in public affairs, and
of absolute devotion TO the public in
terests. We shall trust him I'm the ad-
ministntion Of his high office until he
has betrayed that trust and he will
find that the people of the South will
help him faithfully to the full extent
of their responsibility in the right set
Element Of the many difficult prob
lens with which as the head of this
great nation he will have TO deal.

Ex-Governor Pattison has learned
something about practical politics of
the Democratic stamp in Philadelphia.
When he was made chairman OF the
local Democracy he found it but a tail
to the Quay Kite He decided to re-
organize, by holding all the elements.
Notwithstanding repeated warnings
that the ring in power had no purpose
but to serve Quay. he seemed to have
fondly imagined that he could create
out Of such elements an honest De-
mocracy The ring took things in its
ownk hands, captured the organization
nominated candidates and unhorsed
Mr.. Pattison. Now, to save his self-es.
TEEN, he is Obliged TO call mass
meeting and gather together all the
dissatisfied elements possible. Mean
while the enemies OF reform have in
their hands the great advantage OF
party machinery. For many years the
Democrats in Philadelphia have beer
led by a gang which took direction
from Quay. Everybody knew this, in
cluding Mr.. Pattison. Why he did no
oust the ring-leaders OF the organiza
tion when he had the authority. is in
eXplicable.

" NFAtNiANt
The golden rod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun,
In dusty pods the milkweed
Her hidden silk has spun.
The sedges fiaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook.
By all these lovely tokens
September DAYS are here.
With summers best OF weather.
And autumn's best of cheer.
