The lesson OF the election is that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is not only the leader OF
his party. but that he is stronger than his
party. Democratic leaders like United
States Senator Jones confess this when
they say: THE general belief in the recti-
tude, sincerity and courage OF President
Roosevelt is aiding the republicans much
more than they will ever know" But for
this impressive personality OF President
Roosevelt, Odell certainly would not have
been reelected governor OF New York and
the republicans would have lost control OF
the house OF representatives. So relaxed
has the grip of the republican party upon
the country become that Il is doubtful II
any OF its leaders save Roosevelt could lead
It to sure victory in 1904. 1t is easy to at
tribute the victory OF Tuesday to business
prosperity, but under equally favorable in
dustrial conditions we were beaten in the
of year of 1882, Just twenty years ago. In
1880, as in 1900, the republicans swept the
country. The president then elected was
shot in 1881, and Vice President Arthur
succeeded GARFIELD in September, even as
Vice President Roosevelt succeeded the
murdered Mckinley. The November state
elections of 1881, like those OF November,
1901. showed little change.
me BUSINESS prosperity OF the country
showed M decline in 1882. and for this
prosperity the republican party claimed and
obtained large credit. In spite OF this pros
perity the elections OF 1882 went against the
republicans. The house elected in 1880 had
a republican majority OF twenty; that
elected in 1882 had a democratic plurality
Of seventy-eight. Grover Cleveland was
elected governor of New York by nearly
200, 900 plurality, a result largely due to
the bitter factional quarrel between the
Blaine and anti Blaine republicans. This
New York feud did not explain the fact that
the democrats carried Ohio or that
General Butler was elected governor OF
Massachusetts, over the republican candi-
date. Business prosperity did not give the
republicans victory in 1882, and business
prosperity would not save them today II
Roosevelt were not today the leader of his
party and because of his personality
stronger than his party. President Arthur
in 1882 was not the leader OF his party; he
was heir to a fierce party feud that 1t was
impossible to quiet, and because he was
not and could not have been the inspiring
leader Of his party, the republicans were
severely defeated In New York, Ohio and
Massachusetts, lost the lower house OF con-
gress to the democrats and two years later
were defeated in the presidential campaign.

PIea for ship subsidies.

- a oaA II AOA1NA
The appeal OF the commissioner of navi-
cation for ship subsidies, like that of the
advocates Of this policy in congress. falls
rather nat in the face OF his own report.
Not only does he show a heavy increase in
the number OF steel merchant vessels under
the American nag and an increase in the
percentage OF goods carried under the nag,
but he regards the transatlantic merger"
as 1t should be regarded. as an American
institution. He considers this merger as
the most important step toward the estab-
lishment Of American influence on the seas
which has been taken since steel and iron
vessels displaced wooden sailing vessels.
This is undoubtedly true. And as the
merger vessels will be run in the interest
Of American railways and American indus
tries IL is a matter OF absolutely no i'm
portance whether or not they fly the Amer
lean fag-especially IL that thrill has TO be
purchased by a gift OF some 100000 an
nually to Mr.. Morgan and his associates.

Stronger Than His Party
Portland oreeonian frenN-

ing increased cost OF living: there has
been the prolonged coal strike. and when
we add to this the fact that the repub-
lican party has been long enough in power
since 1897 to wear out its welcome. II Is
remarkable that the democracy did rot
infict upon II in November. 1902. a defeat
as severe as that suffered in November.
1882. The chief. II not the only, reason
we escaped defeat was the universal popu-
lar confidence felt in President Roosevelt
and the strong desire to hold up his hands
within and without congress. There was a
time when but for the prompt appeal and
Intervention OF President Roosevelt the
great strike would have proceeded to dis
astrous conclusion. For such a termina-
ton the republican party would have been
~arraigned by democratic -demagogues; the
republican president would have been de-
nounced as utterly without sympathy for
the wageworkers OF the country. This IL
logical and unjust Indictment would have
been successful.
The president with manly frankness
trusted the people: took them into his con-
fdence against the warnings OF profess
sional politicians, and he has succeeded
in saving himself and his party when the
ordinary political leaders would have
WTeckeu the WnOle Outnt. HOVeTnOr Odell,
who was in full sympathy with the presi-
dents views, owes his reelection to this
fact. The plutocrstic republicans In New
York City in largo numbers either voted
for Coler or did not vote at all, and Odell
was saved frem defeat by the farmers, the
mechanics and ~wageworkers Of the country
counties OF the Empire state. odell was
helped something by the fact that David
B.. Hill, whose puppet Coler would have
been as governor. is hopelessly distrusted
by such independent democratic papers as
the New York Post and the Brooklyn Eagle.
A considerable portion OF the Independent
democratic vote was given TO Odell because
of the odiousness Of Hill. The popular de-
termination to stand by the president
has won the election. BY his singular
mixture Of political shrewdness and moral
courage the president has firmly intrenched
himself in the hearts of the people. He has
succeeded. as Jackson and Lincoln sue
ceeded, by his union Of simplicity Of pur-
pose and manner to courage in action. 1t
is easy to say that a president with a
strict sense Of oficisl dignity would not
have stopped from It so far as unoflcially
to interfere in the settlement Of the strike,
but the president stopped to conquer"
The first fruit of his conquest is the VIC
tory of Tuesday, and its ultimate laurels
he will win and wear in 1904.

CUPID AND THE CHOIR.
A Lofty Subject EnveIoped with M
Commercial Spirit.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
II is no unusual thing to hear that thero
is trouble in the choir. Musicians are very
apt to be high strung, some Of them are
oversupplied with nerves. and few OF them
will tolerate anything that they consider az
infringement on their rights. More thar
one choir quarrel can be traced to a most
Insignificant cause, which might az the start
have been easily removed without hurting
the feelings OF others. But a little FIRE will
kindle a great matter In a choir loft, as
we'll as in other places, and It would al
most seem as II the material kept there
was a little more combustible than the
usual run.
There is also another feature OF choir
life which canno be overlooked. The init
mate associations which naturally follow
from the weekly gatherings and from the
mingling OF melodious voices in the same
songs can hardly fail to bring about warm
friendships. and IL is to be expected that
these friendships should sometimes result
in love, in wooing and then in wedding.
This seems the better feature OF choir life.
q feature which would seem worthy OF APP
proval, but in one instance It was carried
to such an extreme hat q halt had to be
called or the music discontinued.
A Jersey City choir was the victim OF
Cupid's frequent assaults upon it's mem
bers. Inside OF eight months six OF its
young men and six Of It's young women
made up their minds to wed one another,
and did 80. When they married they de-
parted from the loft. and since then there
had been no choir. So the pastor took a
hand and has started another one, and TO
keep Cupid out Of the game has compelled
each new member to sign the following
agreement:
ut is agreed by each and all OF the under
signed members that they, each and all.
will refrain from entering into a state OF
matrimony for a space OF one year from the
date hereof. under a penalty OF a forfeiture
OF the sum of one hundred dollars ($100) TO
the Zion Choral union after having been
declared guilty by a majority Of the mem
bers present at any regular meeting of the
union"
Objection may be made that this Is put
ting a tax on matrimony, but Cupid. who
laughs at locksmlths. is not apt to turn
pale and run away for so small a sum az
800. He may stay out of the Jersey City
choir for a time, but the chances are that
It will not be long before he is back again.
playing those same old tricks he has been
playing since the world began.

Now someone will please pass the va

reflections that they will not be
mindful Of a physical discomfort, but those
others who did not quite reach the goal
they talked for will be very conscious of
tired threats to which they will like to
apply outward remedies like gargles and

Pur1lins vaEaries of Justice.

Justice may we'll stand puzzled and mys-
titled before the vagaries of law. A woman
in Maine was lately fined 500 for shoot
ing a moose because she had no license,
the fact that she shot to save her own
life from the animals attacks not being
taken into the question at all. Such
absurdities in the enforcement OF laws are
enough to bring disrepute on all commune
ties which tolerate such ignorant and RI
diculous officers, and in the interest Of

should be stoutly contested.

for the trainmen to communicate with each

be useless in bad weather and on curves

phone. Here is an opportunity for an in
