Roosevelt as a Candidate.

A Washington dispatch announces
that President Roosevelt viii take
charge Of bis own campaign for . re-
nomination IN 1904, feeling that he can
successfully cops with the opposition
to him thpt hes been 50 eonsplcuousls
apparent among the Republican mem
bers Of Congress. 1t is said that be
has absolute confidence not only that
he will be dominated in 1904, but that
he will be elected. And great many
enthusiastic people share in his conf
uence.
But the facts Of political history do
not Justify blind belief in the potency
Of Roosevelt as popular candidate.
For he displayed no elements Of I'M
usual popularity in the different cam
paigns that he has participated in, as
candidate for the Assembly Of Now
York and for governor Of that State in
lsgS. At the latter election he was
enveloped BY the full glamor Of his war
record with the romantic and dashing
Rough Riders in Cuba, and he was op.
posed by q Democratic candidate who
WAS not only a very ordinary parsonage,
but was handicapped BY being recog-
nized as merely creature Of Croker
and . brother Of the latter's suhservient
mayor Of New York, Van Wyek. The
Democratic campaign was further
weakened By Oroker's ahdacious in
terference with the New York City
Judiciary, he having turned down q
faithful and popular Judge whose term
Ind expired and nominated his personal
choice for the succession. And yet,
Notwithstanding the influence Of the
war fever and his military prestige on
the u1e hand, and the adverse effect Of
CFnkeFism on the other, Mr.. Roose-
velt's plurality in that election was
only between II, Geo and Is, Oca 1t was
generally admitted by politicians Of all
shades Of political opinion that had it
mot been for Grokar's nnwise and
arbitrary leadership Of the Democratic
campaign Roosevelt would not have
been fisctaf governor Of New York
thai year. And had he been defeated
then, he would not be President today.
30 IL will not ha wise TO build upon
hooseyeit's popularity with the people.
Ifthe Democratic campaign is managed
with wisdom, and a suitable nomina-
tion made, Roosevelt will be no stronger
as a candidate for President in 1901
| than tina average Rspublican leader
would be.

Mr. Geurge E. NJ. Stengle, publisher

the failure Of the registration books to

Juvenile Literature.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
Therefore, while two opinions may exist
as to the propriety of censorship on the
part Of a library In dealing with adults.
there can hardly be disagreement as to the
Importance of the utmost care in the choice
of books purveyed to children. Too often
the books owned by the average child, even
in good circumstances, are acquired at
Christmas, the gift of an undiscriminating
uncle or aunt whose eye has been
caught by the illustrations at bargain
counter. The books frequently present
neither good literature nor good morals.
No such laxity can be charged TO the con-
scientious childrens librarian. She regards
her work with due-the carpfng bibliogra-
pher says with undue-seriousness For her
the professional library schools have estab-
lished a special course of training fitting
her to work with children. Before admit
ting a book 70 the collection she examines
it with scrupulous. care. aiming to purchase
for recreative reading only those which are
entertaining, wholesome in tone and de-
Gently well written. AS to the interest Of
a book, she is not content with her own
Judgment solely, but often consults the
opinions of the children themselves. So Inn
portant is this matter of selection consid-
cred that librarians are at work compiling
a co-operatfyc list of children's books
which shall have the benefit OF the criti-
cism and experience of many experts.

CAMPAIGN
 DISCUSSED Democrats Had Conference
 at Exchange Hotel. JACKSON MAY MANAGE Nominees and Chairman Lowe
 Met by Appointment. Each Candidate for Congress Asked to Name a Member of Cam
 paign Committee to Be An nounced Tonight.

A conference between Governor Jelks and the other Democratic nominees for State offices and Hon. Robert J. Lowe, chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Alabama, was held last night at the Exchange Hotel.
 The pending Ganfpaign was discussed but no plans were adopted nor was a Democratic State Campaign Committed named, as was expected.
 Chairman Lowe after the conference re- auested each Congressional nominee by telegraph to name member of the com ittec.
 The conference, which lasted until II 30 O clock, was held in room 106 of the EX- change Hotel. q rom that has in the past been the scene of many important polit- ical gatherings Chairmanu Lowe came Co Montgomery last night from Biringha. He was accopanied by Hon. Russell NJ. Cunningham. Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Govern IT. They were met here by Governor Jelks. Treasurer Craig Smith, Auditor Thomas l.. Sowel and Hon. R. R. Poole. Commissioner of Az riculture who deside in the city, and by Prof. l. w. Hill. Democratic nominee for State Superintendent of Education, who came from his home in Gadsden to at tend the conference
 Hon. J. Thomas Hefiin, Democratic nominee for Secretary of State was not present at the conference.

tary to Governor Jelks. was in the con- ference. His presence revived interest in the rumor that he was to be chairman of the State Campaign Committee in ths coming campaign. A reliable rumor had 1t that in case Chairman Lowe decided not to serve as head of the Campaign Committee Mir Jackson would be placed at the head of the committee.
 When the conference dissolved it was said by those who had part in 1t that the campaign had been generally discuss ed but no definite action of any sort had been adopted. Nor had any plans been made. It was further said that the Campaign Committe had not been fully determined upon.
 We have not as yet" said one of the Democratic nominees, decided upon any campaign plans. We do not consider that there is much of a campaign before us We do not believe that there is any use in making a little campaign go a long ways"
 Has Mir. Jackson been named as chair man of the Campaign Committee?" WAS asked.
 "The Campaign Committed and its chairman have not yet been fully deter mined upon. It will be announced in d few days" was the reply.
 It will be recalled that the Democratic Executive Committee, at it's last meeting, authorized Chairman Lowe to name a Campaign Committee to conduct the pend ing contest. He was urged to take the chairmanship of the committee but as yet he has not announced his decision.
 Private Secretary Jackson, whose name has been prominently mentioned in con nection with the chairmanship of the Campaign Committee. Is one of the best known public men in Alabama. Perhaps no man in the State has larger acquain.- ance He has been Private Secretary to three Governors, Thomas Seay Thomas G. Jones and William D. Jelks. He has been Secretary of the Alabama Railroad Com mission and has served two terms IS Secretary of State. In the party cam paign preceding the recent Democratic primary he had a most active part in the work for Governor Jelks.
 At the conclusion of the conference last night Chairman Lowe telegraphed each of the Democratic nominees to send the name of one man from his Congressional district to serve on the Campaign Com mittee. In this way nine members of the committee will be selected.
 The coming election is the first in the present generation in which members of Congress are to be elected at the same time the State officials are chosen. In view of this fact 1t was decided that the Congressional candidates should have representatives on the committed. Chairman Lowe said after the con ference last night that the Democratic Campaign Committee would be announc- ed tonight The announcement will come from Birmingham where he goes today and where he will receive responses from

HERE AND THERE
REMARKABLE CAREER OF LORD STRATHCoNA IN CANADA.
His Gift to the Hospitals-Story Of Scotch Boy Who Went out in the Employ of the Hudson
 Bay Company.

King Edwards Hospital Fund for Lon don has just received a most munticent endowment from Lord Mount Stephen and Lord Strathcona which will give un- told satisfa ctiOn to all who have the in terests of that noble charity at heart. It consists of securities which produce at present the sum of l6,0G0 pounds year and are likely, according to the official announcement, to increase still further in value. At 3 per cent this represents a gift of more than half million sterling and it is said that it will go far to com nIete the scheme inauguratcd by His Majesty when Prince of Walvs to free the London hospitals from debt. But aH a certain sum is stin wanting to secure the assured income of 100000 pounds per annum which in the Kings original ap- neal to the public was stated to he nee essarv to carry out the work of the fund. if is hoped that this. too. may be forth coming during the first year of the Prince of Waless $ presidency.
 These two noblemen, Lord Strathcona and Lord Mount Stephen, are not now as sociated for the first time in works of charity Fifteen years ago. in Celcbra- tion of Queen Vctoria's s jubilee, they erected a hospital in Montreal at a cost of 200 100 pounds. and afterward gave l6o.- mo for it's maintenance. To the McGll I'niVeTSltN-the lCddiG GniN'ISi'N "l the Dominion of Canada-Lord Strathcona presented So.0oO pounds and when tho south African war broke out he raised and equipped the famous Canadian reg Irnent of rough riders. called after him. at an outlay of something like 2oo""l rounds To Aberdeen, also his l.ordship save 5.Ol0 pounds for the extension of tbe Marischal College, while Lord Mount stenhen subscribed an equal sum to the Roval Infirmary of that city.
 Lord Strathcona has had an exception ally interesting career. He was born in the quaint little Scottish town of Torres, His father. Mir Alexander Smith. was a small tradesman. Donald Alexander was the second son. Of his early days MT. Rockies Wilson, in his pleasing story of

 career had a peculiar attraction for Donald, as, indeed. for the entire neigh
