PAUNCEFoTE TURNS TABLES
Makes n Neat RetOrt to n DfpIomat
Who Had Criticised the
Ambassadors.

Copyright, 1902. by Press Publishing Coz
PARIS, June S.-(New York World Ca.
blegram-Special Telegram)-A story illus
trative of Lord Pauncefotes wit has been
told since his death. Lord Pauncefote was
az the peace congress at The Hague as the
representative OF Great Britain and took
notes with a pen whose handle was made
OF a dumdum bullet case. One day rep
resentative OF a foreign power said to him;
my lord, you are wrong to use that MUIR
derous capsule in writing at this con-
gress. Objects employed by a person are
often symbols. They can become bad, and
such is the case here-like an avowal of the
persons ideas and manner of being"
Lord Pauncefote smiled, but made no an
swer. Next day the moralist of the day
before wanted to do some writing and
turning to the English diplomat, requested
him to lend him a pen. Lord Pauncefote
gravely produced a goose quill from his
pocket and handed 1t to the man. Then
when the latter was writing Lord Paunce-
fote said TO him; "Sir, you are wrong to use
taht kind Of instrument. Objects employed
by person are often symbols. They can
become-and such is the case-like an
avowal OF the persons idea and manner
OF being"

CANAL WEEK IN SENATE
Supporters of Nicaragua Route VIII
Try 10 Secure Vote on Bill
Saturday.

WASHINGTON, June s.-The greater part
OF the time OF the senate the present week
will be given to the lnteroceanic bill. An
effort probably will be made by the sup
porters OF the Nicaragua route to secure an
agreement to vote on the bill next Sat-
urday, but the probabilities are all against
success,
Senator Harris of Kansas will omen the
debate tomorrow in support OF the Nicara-

Tious other senator's for and against the
measure.
Senator Fairbanks has given formal no.
tice OF a speech on Wednesday. He will

oDELL PRAISES NEBRASKA
People Too Busy to spend Much
Time in Discussion of
Politics.

NEW YORK, June s.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Governor Odell talked at length to-
day about his trip through the country.
He visited twenty-five states. He says
he was surprised at the prosperity of the
country. While he discussed every state
visited he paid particular tribute to Ne
braska, probably because 1t is Bryans s
state. or Nebraska he said: Prosperity
is universal In Nebraska, where there is
promise of munihcent crops. People are
not paying much attention to politics. 1t
is all business with them. They are inter-
ested in the Cuban sugar proposition mainly
because of the cultivation of beet sugar.
On this issue there is some division of
opinion as to the proper policy of the ad-
ministration. In other respects the admin
istration Is generally indorsed I did not
find very many Bryan democrats during
the trip. l made special inquiries in Ne
braska concerning Bryan and came away
with the impression he is not as strong
with his own people as he was a year ago."
Odell also discussed irrigation, Improvement
OF railroads and his meeting with former
Governor Boyd.

The Boer leader goes out to meet a com

pie, and promises that the British authori-
ties will do their utmost to help them re-
settle on their farms.
A meal is then prepared for the Boers.
after which the formal surrenders occur
In many such instances the Beers have
cheered King Edward and they have some
times expressed surprise that no army was
sent out TO receive their surrenders. The
Beers are allowed to retain their horses
and saddles. The majority OF them appear
to be glad that the war is at an end and
that they will now be able to Join their
fsmilies.

British authorities at Balmoral Cape

OF the Pacific cable and the senate irriga-

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1902-12-24

THE HONORABLE SAMUEL NJ
L Jones, better known as Golden
Rule" Jones, mayor of Toledo, Ohio
has been laying a verbal bouquet at
the feet of President Roosevelt. In
his tribute Mr. Jones makes the mis-
take that so many writer's and speak
ers make in their reference to the in
dividuaIity of the president. The
Herald is more than glad to confess
an admiration for many of the presi-
dents traits of character. but we can
not go Mayor Jones' entire route. He
says:
Theodore Roosevelt, as a man, is
greater than the government he rep
resezts. While the government of the
United States was unable to restore
peace in the anthracite region. Roose-
welt, not as president but as a man,
suggested a rational way to settle the
trouble. The man triumphed and the
problem was solved"
Could anything in the line of fulsome
hattery be more absurd? Mr. ROose-
welt as a man, not as president, Sc
cured the settlement of the coal strike,
did he? Honestly. now, if President
Roosevelt had only been Police Com
missioner Roosevelt or Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy Roosevelt or Rough
Rider Roosevelt or Governor Roosevelt
or even Vice President Roosevelt, how
much weight would any of his sug-
gestions have had with the anthracite
coal trust? None, absolutely none.
And yet. unthinking people talk about
the president, not as president. but as
a man, settling this great dispute be-
tween labor and capital
It is idle to talk Of aisassoeiating
any president from his Office in con-
nection with anything he may do. The
two. the Office and the man. are indis-
solubly welded together and they can
not be considered separately. One
might as we'll talk Of ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, as a man, trying to bring about
an adjustment of differences between
warning Wall street factions. Morgan,
as a man, could accomplish no more in
such a contingency than Roosevelt, as
a man, could have settled the anthra-
cite strike. But Morgan and his mil
lions can work wonders, just as Roose-
welt and his presidency can work won
ders.
The Herald has no desire to abstract
one leaf from the laurel wreath that
the presidents admirers have placed
upon his brow we call upon them TO
remember, however. that the wreath
IS placed upon the brow of the presi
dent, not the brow of Theodore Roose-
welt citizen Any other interpreted ton
Is syeophancy Of the most unattractive
order.
