PATTON ON SCHOOLS

The retirement Of President Patton
from the head of Princeton College
has met With an expression of regret
from all quarters. His work in educa-
tion has been greater, perhaps. than in
that Of the ministry. His remarks on
the occasion Of the installation OF
President Butler. Of Columbia, are now
being recalled. On that occasion DR..
Patton shocked the stickler for the ira

authorities TO realize that young mer

NEWSPAPER OPINION
A Question OF Rights

From the Washington Post.
Senator Hoar is able to see the FIJI
pino's right to a voice in his own gov
ernment: it is a pity that he is SO far
sighted that he can see the rights %
the Filipinos and yet be unable to see
lne rights OF his own people TO a voice
in the selection of senators. Until the
people control the Senate reform will
be impossible The corporations are
now masters OF the situation. Mr..
Bryan, in the Commoner.
Senator Hoar's inability to see
things is rendered less calamitous to
the nation by Mr.. Bryan's redundant
capacity for seeing things. Is any man
in Massachusetts, or Nebraska or any
other State OF our Union deprived OF
any constitutional right as to the elec-
ton Of senators? Are not senators
elected in the manner prescribed by
the Constitution? II SO. what are "th'
rights Of his own people" which Sem
atOr Hoar is unable TO see" but which
Mr.. BRYAN clearly discerns? Does the

priving the people of natural rights

The shortage in coal and the lilzeli-

FoR RoosEvELr's NOMINATION

Pennsylvania has the distinction of
being the first State to tender its sup
port to Roosevelt for the nomination
two years hence. In the State Con-
vention at Harrisburg ON Wednesday
among other resolutions the following
was adopted:
To President Roosevelt and his Adj
ministIaticn we give our heartiest ap-
proval and support. We recognize the
fidelity with which he has carried out
the policies OF his lamented predeces-
sor. He is strong in conviction, wise
in action thoroughly American, of
high and patriotic ideals. and his lead
ership establishes confidence both in
the success Of Republican principles
and in the continued prosperity of the
country. We pledge ourselves to his
denomination 10 the great Office which
he has filled with such ability and pa-
triotism.
There is no hedging here but as far
as this convention is competent to
pledge its successor, the declaration is
absolute. We do not know whether
Senator Hanna dictated this plank, but
presume that he did not. Under ordi-
nary circumstances this resolution
means a solid delegation from the Key
stone State at the next national con-
vention pledged to Roosevelt against
the field. There is every reason for
snpposing that most of the Eastern
States will follow Pennsylvania lead,
and should another carry of the hon
ors he would have 20 secure his sup
port largely from those States which
give the Republicans no electoral
votes
II Is a little early yet, but we see no
reason why the various State conven-
tions should not go on record as en-
dorsing the Administrations policy.
Considering the vast duties which were
suddenly thrust upon his shoulders,
President Roosevelt has done nobly.
The great Office has lost absolutely
nothing in the public estimation, but
the best traditions have been adhered
to- We think the Republican conven-
tion of Delaware would do we'll to fol
low the lead OF Pennsylvania in en-
dorsing President Roosevelt's candi-
dacy.

It is proposed that England shall OF
set the Frederick the Great statue by
sending MS a statue of that eminent
Briton. William Waldorf Astor. But
this will not do, as William, however
much he may have striven for a peer
age. is not a monarch. The only match
for The Frederick statue is one Of that
English sovereign, George III. True
the people of New York pulled down a
statue OF that benevolent king in 1775
but that was a very long time ago.

GENERAL WOOD REPLIEs

A hullabaloo has been raised ovor
the discovery that General Wood
while acting as Governor of Cuba,
spent several thousand dollars to dis
tribute literature favorable to the reci-
procity measure. This gives the oppo-
sition something to talk about, but af-
fects the merits OF the case not a whit.
General Wood was at the head of
Cuban affairs and as such was charged
with guarding the interests of the
island. Had this been done by Presi-
dent Palma, nothing would he said, yet
General Wood was charged with SINH
lar duties 1t may be said that he was
representing two interests; those Of
the United States and those of Cuba
but certainly he cannot be censured
for protecting the latter. General
Wood in discussing the matter, says:
Some persons in this country seem
to forget the fact that when l was
military governor of Cuba It was my
duty to protect the interests of Cuba
in every possible way. / believed my
duty to be the safeguarding of Cuba's
welfare. and all / did was intended TO
carry out that aim. II must be remem-
bered that / was not representing Ne
braska. Ohio or any State in tn,
Union. but the people and the island
OF Cuba. / deemed It an essential par

Fire Engine Must Go

FROM lne CnlcdsO POST
Fire engines. with their glistenine
bearings, their footing, smoking and
showers of sparks, will soon be a thing
of the past, is the opinion of Fire
Marshal Musham. The chief declares
the successful operation of the plan
of Alderman HOnore Palmer for q
pumping station TO force water at high
pressure into a gridiron of strong pipes
under downtown streets will revolu-
tioniZe the science of fire fighting in
the business district and will trans
form the six engine companies into
twenty-fOur hose companies, with an
immense annual saving in fire losses
and insurance rates.
The plan is to provide 40 to 2O0
pounds of pressure to the new system
of pipes which Commissioner Blocki is
about to put in. Every building de-
voted to mercantile purposes in the
downtown district win in a short time
after the pumping station is erected be
equipped with standpipes, to which
will be attached sprinklers for each
floor. One pipe leading to each floor
is advocated by Marshal Musham. 1t
would be a simple matter for the
watchman. seeing a fire on the top
story, to turn on the valve in the base
ment which controls the top floor pipe
and then give the alarm. While THE
hremen were coming the fire would be
in most cases already out.
Il expect to live to see the day when
there win be no more fire engines in
Chicago Chief Musham said. "All big
cities are coming to It, High pressure
will do the work better. Insurance
rates will be lowered, and there will
be much greater safety to life

THE PULITZER TRAGEDY.
William Hooper Captured at Derby. Conn.

Confession.

Derby, Conn, Sept. 23.-William
Hooper Young, for whom the police
of New York have been searching in
connection with the murder of Mrs.
Anna Nelson Pulitzer, has been found,
and is also said to have made con-
fession regarding the killing of Mrs.
Pulitzer.
In the guise of tramp he had
been wandering about the country for
several days, when he was arrested
Sunday evening by the Derby police,
on suspicion. Although his descrip-
tion corresponded closely with that
sent out by the New York officers, the
prisoner at first stoutly denied any
connection with the murder, and even
when he was confronted with a man
who was formerly a fellow workman,
he still denied his identity. But this
evening, upon the arrival of man
with whom he was intimately ac-
quainted, the prisoner acknowledged
that he is William Hooper Young. He
consented to go back to New York
without the formality of requisition
papers, and will be taken there.

LAKE NAMES IN MAINE.
Some of the Indian AppelIatiOns Are
Long and Somewhat Difficult
to Pronounce.

The mention in press dispatch
from Pennington, Me-, describing a
drowning accident of Lake Moose
lookmaguntic recalls to mind the
fearfulness and wonderfulness of the
aboriginal titles with which some of
the charming inland waters of the
pine tree state are burdened, says
the Rochester Democrat.
Those who urge the retention of
the Indian names of American local.
ities and natural features have
much reason on their side. Certain
ly those who have substituted for
them modera English names have
seldom been happy in their selec.
tions. But such aboriginal local
names of lakes and mountains as
Meddybemps and Passadumkeag, and
Sisladobsis Bashaheegan, UmbacoolI.
sus, Mollechunkemug and Moose.
lookmaguntic, can command unde-
served admiration only from en-.
thusiasts. They are undeniably
cumbersome and are hardly likely to
strike euphoniously on the unpreju-
diced ear. Possibly they are replete
with poetic suggestions, but they
don't convey them very clearly.
Theodore Winthrop had the poet
soul in him, but he strove in vain TO
get poetry out of the names of some
of the Maine lakes he loved best.
Mooselookmaguntic suggested to
him only the effort of an Indian
hunter, with an exceedingly imper.
feet command of the English Ian
guage, to tell how he had unexpect.
edly seen and quickly shot a moose,
and Mollechunkemug suggested to
him nothing more romantic than the
thought that the lake had been
named by some woodman after his
inamorata, his shOrt-faced Mary, his
Molly of the chunky mug.
Now and again the residents of 10.
calities afflicted with such names as
these petition the powers that be 10
change them to something better
fitted for ordinary daily use, and are
therefore abused as vandals by all
cultured persons in other parts of
the country. But II is possible that
the most cultured persons would
sympathize with the vandals If they
had to summer and winter with
Mollechunkemug and Mooselookma-
guntic and the rest; had to say all
that every time they were asked
whence they came or whittier they
were going; had painfully to write
1t all out every time they sent forth
q letter or telegram.
