Thankful For Roosevelt!

Commercial Tribune.
The reporter who interviews notable
people on the subject Of what they have
to be thankful for gets variety of an
swers. 1t is astonishing, this year, to
note the numbers of people who say
they are thankful for President Roose-
velt-not because be is President, but
thankful that since he is, he is the sort
of man he is. The women especially
approve OF him, and with good reason.
One woman said:
Everything we hear of him is COM
mendable. Today he puts the stamp Of
his dlsapproval on the brutal custom Of
docking horses, yesterday he picked up
little shivering, forlorn dog. It is
these little human things that appeal
to us and reveal the true man.
Mr.. Jacob Refs says the only time he
ever saw MIR. Roosevelt almost angry
| was when he was told that his enemies
in New York watched him on his way
from his office to his home in the hops
of detecting him in some wrong-doiDg.
WHAT" he exclaimed, indignantly,
"when was on my way home to see
my babiesl"
When Dr. Jauney called on him the
other day, with other representative:
of the National Purity Association, the
President expressed himself strongly
in favor of single standard of morals
for men and women. SIT is mean an6
detestable to strike ~ the women ani
let the men CO." were his words.
When he was Governor of New Yori
he recommended woman suffrage in hi
message, and this Fall at the Minneso

the names of 1000 visitors processing
belief in woman suffrage, the nam,

Another Surprise.

Cornelius Vanderbilt. the mechanical
genius of the Vanderbilt family, has
given the railroad world another sur
prise in his invention of two new cars
which are revolutionary in their ten
denotes. One of them is a tank car fol
grain carrying, which is similar to the
car which Is now being used for the
transporting of oil. The essential diff
ference is that the Vanderbilt tank car
will be easier to unload than the oil
car, as it is considered ipexpedient tt
try to pump grain from the car as the
oil is removed in most instances. An
other car is his big steel coal hopper
which has the advantage of being 81
constructed that it is stronger than the
present style of car and yet lighter
than most of them,

Sam Jones, the revivalist, was once
taking women to task for spending
more time in prinking than in praying.
"If there's woman here" I" he scream
ed, finally, "who prays moro than she
prinks, let her stand up" One poor
old faded specimen Of feminity, in the
sorriest, shabbiest of clothes, arose.
'You spend more time praying than
prinking?" asked the preacher. taking
her all in. The poor old creature said
she did-prayed all the time, prinked
not at all. ''You go straight home,"
admonished Jones, land put q little
time on your prinking."

RURAL FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
Government Regulations Con,
corning the Roadside Boxes.

When the rural free delivery Of mail
began, two or three years ago. a great
variety of boxes were set up by the
roadside for the reception of mail left
there by the carrier Some Of these
were exceedingly primitive and some
were costly and elaborate. After q
time the government signifed wish
that these boxes should possess certain
qualities to insure safety. The Post OF
fee Department at Washington has
carefully refrained from recommending
any particular box, bu: 1t has indicat-
ed dozen or more, made by private
manufacturers, which comply with its
requirements. The farmer may buy and
use any one oD the list.
This regulation has in a number Of
instances been misinterpreted, and has
caused DO little irritation in conse-
quence. In the first place, some of the
people who COW get their mail in this
manner feel that they shouid be per-
mitted to choose Tor make) their boxes
without any advice. But inasmuch rs
the government is responsible for the
safe carriage and delivery OF the mails,
| it feels justified in prescribing the
character OF the boxes. Unless it is
free to do so. it would not be just 70
hold it accountable for losses. After q
time the wisdom of this decision will be
generally recognized.
Another point about which there has
been some misunderstanding, is the
position of the box manufacturers.
The few who have complied with
the governments conditions are looked
upon as constituting combination, or
trust. But there is no trust ehc.;t
this business. A trust is made up Of
parties who agree to cooperate and
work together harmoniously. But
these box manufacturers have no such
relation with one another. They are
the liveliest sort of rivals, each critics.
ing the others and magnifying the
merits of his own device. There is not
Ieven q monopoly. The field is open to
ell who will make boxes that conform
to the government standard. So far as
IUucle Sam is concerned, the more the
Imerrier.
/ A correspondent of The Tribune calls
attention to the fact that one postmas-
ter, who is already drawing salary,
is making boxes also. If this should be
contrary to the regulations of the de-
partment, the case should be reported
TO the Postmaster General. He would
undoubtedly investigate it promptly.
Still, it has been customary where the
postmaster received only small COM
pensation from the government, to al
low him to conduct some other busi-
ness also, in order to make living
A large number of possmasters sell
groceries and hardware, and ii it 10
lawful to DO that, it ought to be legiti-
mate to make mail boxes. However,
if thu Postmaster General we're noti-
fed he could tell Immediately whether
the regulations were violated or not.
