side of what has happened to him. II
is his hearty keen sense of humor that
makes him so sane.
Style with him in writing is simply
the complete forcible expression of an
idea that he would make a fact or a
true report of an act done. Literature
is not the best medium for complete
expression of this man of action.
Roosevelt offends politicians unspeak-
ably by his bland refusal to be moved
by popular clamor. The people and
what they think on the spur of the mo-
ment interest Roosevelt profoundly,
but do not dominate his actions He
weighs soberly and carefully.
Is not the highest privilege of friend
ship the giving to a friend the best of
ones conscience and Judgment? The
people will not call Roosevelt to act no
matter the clamor unless their wisdom
is confirmed by his own conscience and
Judgment
He will treat all alike with all fair
ness and courtesy. carrying no grudges.
Revenge is not sweet to him
Roosevelt is of the sort who while he
loves a joke hugely never talks politics
in a Pickwickian sense. When he spoke
recently at Minneapolis about controll-
ing trusts by national legislation it was
out of a full heart
A senator seeking patronage will find
the White House no more accessible
than a constituent with proof that a
candidate is dishonest. When ROoSe-
welt has found a candidate is unfit for
an Office he will not be appointed, even
though the entire senate demands it.
The system of letting congressman take
the responsibility of naming unworthy
men will not be established.
Yet he will strenuously endeavor to
maintain a united party and do the
great things in national legislation.
He does not mean to give servile imi-
tation of Mckinley. Every unsolved
problem will have to pass muster at
the court of his personal conviction. In
every crisis he has asked for help from
ffrst-class intellects, from experts, from
practical men: for their best WISDOM
soberest advice, soundest judgment,
making up his mind after painstaking,
exhaustive study.
The moving principle, the mastering
ambition of his life. is to stand by
sound and worthy theories that he may
bring his countrymen to think serious
ly, honestly and nobly of public af-
fairs.
Roosevelt brings an erudition ripened
by practical grapple with life; politi
cal sagacity at daily gymnastic exercise
in public contests. His public virtue is
as certain as his private virtue He has
no double standard of morals The
strong moral purpose which has moved
and strengthened him in other crises
now dominates him.

cutor, refused to pay it and Miss Tauer

Makes Desperate Attempts to Keen
a Girl From Wedding a Rival, But
Fails.
Last evening a drummer at the Nc
Lure told a rather amusing story OF
the desperate attempts of a disappoint-
ed lover to keep a girl from wedding
the man of her choice. The incident
occurred on the Monongahela river
road yesterday, between Fairmont and
Monongah. The couple boarded the
train at Monongah bound for Fair
mont, where the knot was to be tied.
The disappointed lover followed in
their wake and took a seat just back
Of them.
After the train had been in progress
for some little time, the d. |. drew a
knife and made an attempt to infict
some injury on the girl with it. but
was disarmed and forced back in his
seat, muttering, by the male passengers
on the train.
Later he made another attempt, this
time with a revolver, but the result
was no better. An explanation was de-
manded, mad the story came out, and
the passengers persuaded the d. /. to
go his way and let the wedding pro-
coed.
