PAIN TO SOCIETY.

BY a chance remark to the effect that
she dressed herself on $500 year, Mrs.
Roosevelt has stirred up quite storm of
comment. That the wife of the president
of the United States can clothe herself in
manner beftting her station on that
sum, or on five times that sum. has
seemed to her feminine commentators,
ridiculous. 1t would appear that very
likely Mrs. Roosevelt would find the
amount mentioned inadequate. She has
never before been the wife of a president
of the United Staes, and her statement of
expense, which, by the way was an in
formal and unconsidered one. referred to
past expenditures. Her social status will
not be in any degree improved over what
it has been-and, by the way she is the
first presidents wife for generations Of
which this can be said-but the social de-
mands upon her will be greatly increased
and will involve an increase of wardrobe.
The most amusing comment that 1 have
heard, and l have heard it from people
who ought to know better, is this:
Mrs. Roosevelt probably thinks that
she spends only $500 year for dress, but
she doesn't know. She has so much
money to spend that she doesn't keep any
track of it."
This is the same kind of ignorance that
manifested itself politically in denuncia-
tions of Mr.. Roosevelt as a millionaire,
and therefore a sympathizer with the

Usually he wins, for he is very shrewd and
contrives to secure inside information not

certain and contradictory. Therefore

perienced Tammany man, and the other
one of the shrewdest politicians in the
local republican ranks. Says the Tam

PAIN TO BOTH PARTIES.

CONSERVATION has been aroused In the
ranks of his supporters by the latest ut
terances of that enthusiastic campaign
fre-eater, Justice William TraVers
Jerome. Justice Jerome is easily the
most picturesque figure in the local po-
litical arena. and the most popular, ana
the fusionists are putting him forward
as their main orator. The young justice
has a habit of extreme candor, however
that is sometimes calculated to give pain
by the unexpectedness Of its maRifesta-
ton. This was the case when he tackled
the subject Of the Metropolitan street
Railway company, aprOpos OF william u
Whitney's support of Shepard for mayor,
Justice Jerome declared that he could
name certain supreme court justices who
were put on the bench by the Metropon-
tan company, and who were expected 10
favor its interests in every possible way
This, Of course, was meant as hit at the
democrats. But on the morning after the
utterance a number of republicans OF en-
inent responsibility happened to call In
to see the fusionist campaign managers.
They also happened to be wearing athlcted
expressions. They furthermore CHANGED
to hint that It would be better for all con-
cerned If Justice Jerome could be pre-
vailed upon to drop the Metropolitan
Street Railway company in favor Of some
more er-er timely topic The matter
was laid before Justice Jerome. He SAID

rich as against the poor. Theodore
Roosevelt has never been rich man; in
fact, he has never been what would be
called well off, among the people with
whom he has been thrown. 1 doubt if he
has $1,000 a year income outside Of what
he earns; little enough for man with
large family, and with the demands upon
him incident to such prominence as Mr..
Roosevelt has always had. Fortunately,
both he and his wife are people Of sim
pie tastes. Their house in Oyster Bay is
comfortable; nothing more. Only one
room gives evidence of expensive habit;
that is the library. The Roosevelt ex-
penditure for books is greatly out of pro-
portion to the Roosevelt income. But
most of these books are earned. Mr..
Roosevelt has paid for them with the
receipts from his own writings. There
are few magazine writer's who command
better rates than he does. Books are his
one extravaganza. He dresses well and
simply, and his clothes last a, long time.
Mrs. Roosevelt resembles him in this re-
spect.
The fables of President Roosevelt's
wealth have this foundation: That there
is a great deal of money in the family but
it all went to the older branch. Samuel
Montgomery Roosevelt, fat and eccentric
Individual of forty y-odd is spending what
he can of it, journeying around the world

hoped II would catch 'em. That, at any
rate, was the gist of his response. Then
he cortinued his speech making on the
subject, and added that if anybody rem
dered it necessary he would name the su-
preme court justices referred to. Nobody
has rendered 1t necessary up to date.
No other corporation In New York has
worked so effectively or so quietly among
politicians as the Metropolitan Street
Railway company. 1t has been not non
partizan but bipartisan. 1t has taken care
to have powerful friends on both sides Of
the fence. William c. Whitney, who is
the leading spirit, stands in well with
Tammany. At Albany, there is number
of legislators, of both parties, who take
a general interest in it's affairs. Secre-
tary of War Root was for years it's coun-
sell and while he was never identified
with lobbying or doubtful measures, his
personal and political popularity were Of
great avail to the company. Little has
ever been said, however,-perhaps little
has ever been supected-of the Metropoli-
tan's relations with the bench. 1t was
supposed that its activities were mainly
to obtaining franchises for considerably
less than they were worth. If Justice
Jerome comes out with statement di-
rectly impugning members of the supreme
court bench, he will create a rumpus in
legal circles such as hasn't been seen here
for many years. In this connection law
yers are calling to mind recent decision
from the bench permitting an employe OF
the Metropolitan to sit as a juror in a
damage case against the company.

White Earth. Mimi. Nov 2.-The ideas
of Indian Commissioner Jones and Presi
dent Roosevelt regarding the breaking up
of Indian reservations and leaving the
Indian to stand or fall by his own efforts,
cannot be applied to the White Earth
reservation any too soon to suit many,
perhaps a large majority Of the Indians
Its early application would please also
thousands of white men who would like
to get possession of some of the fertile
land of this magnificent reservation or
start up some kind of business in the
villages that would spring up along the
railroads that would be built the moment
the LISP square miles Of this Indian
country were open to settlement or sale.
The White Earth Indians have reached
such stage of development that the
the state and the federal government, is
to remove the reservation lines and treat
the Indians in all respects as what they
are-citizens Of Minnesota amply able to
take care of themselves. For years the
Indians of this reservation-many of
them since 1SS9-have held their lands in
allotments. This idea Of giving the In
dians their land in severalty is no new
one, though there is little more talk
about it at present than usual. For some
years now it has been the policy Of the
Indian commissioners and the government
to break W tribal ties. abolish reserva-
tions, set the Indians down among the
whites and let them work out their own
destiny, like other Americans. Indeed,
the Nelson act of 1889, introduced by Sen
ator Nelson Of Minnesota. then mem
Der of congress, was designed as the
basis of the work of dispensing with res
ervations in Minnesota. and the lands
within the White Earth reservation were
designated as the s2ecially favored ones
for the Indians to take their allotments.

ments elsewhere. but about 5000 of Min

candidates being Brooklyn men.

OF AFGHANISTAN.

London, Nov. 2.-The reserve OF the Rus

practical silence, in regard to the political
situation in Afghanistan, has caused con-
siderable comment in diplomatic circles in
touch with Downing street, and some
doubt has been cast upon the accuracy
Of dispatches from Simla stating that all
was quiet at Kabul, and that Habibullah
Khan had been recognized as Anneer OF
Afghanistan BY his brothers and chief of
the native troops. It Is learned from
Russian sources of information that the
new Ameer is considerably disturbed by
the sudden withdrawal Of his brothers
and has taken timely measures of de-
fense, surrounding himself with strong
bodies of faithful troops. 1t is also said
that he has sent out on all the roads
leading to Kabul strong detachments,
which will prevent the return Of his
brothers to the capital, or. If possible,
bring them back as rebel prisoners. Hab-
ibullah Is also believed to be aware that

Warning is given that more laborers are
