REAR ADMIRAL HIGGINsoN.

Of the most far-reaching order. In future
not only the great industrials will be bound
by law to do away with the terrors of fac
tory work and work in mines-dangers due
to negligence, bad ventilation etc.-no, the
small employer, the employer of servants,
for instance. will be forced by law to be
brother to his mental. There is hope that
public health will be immeasurably bene-
fitted by these reforms, for the Car insists
that the laws are carried out in every re-
spect.
I'm two years from now every Russian
workman, whether he earns his bread in
factory, mine, artisans shop, store or in
the household, will have the right to de-
mand hygienic surroundings. The employer
who cannot furnish them will have to shut
UP shop Besides the obligatory workmen's
0cident insurance will then be in full OPP
eration,' granting every disabled man or
woman, whether disabled by accident by
old age, a pension. That law, too, is of
his Majestys conception as far as
Russia Is concerned.
You see," concluded DR.. Berthenson,
"the imperial physicians have their hands
full, even If the Car and Czarina them
selves have no use for their services, as is
happily the case

it gems of apothegms which can be disas-
ISOLATED from the message and made 10
stand apart like proverbs. This indicates
both an intellectual and a literary ADVANCE
The whole rhythm of the message is good.
There is no bad rhythm in 1t and only IN
the illusions TO financial questions Is Inere
any indication of incomplete or unaccus-
toned thinking.
ITpon questions of ethics of the moral
law of character, President Roosevelt has
always been able 20 speak even ms I'M
promptu and spontaneous thought SO as 10
command acclaim. All that he mas SAID IN
the twenty years that he has been in public
life Is but a variation upon this tnought'
said to be favorite of his:
The purest treasure mortal times afford
Is spotless reputation; that away,
Men are but gilded loan or painted clay.
In this philosophy are to be found the
keynote of all of President Roosevelts ut
terances as a private citizen or man In
public service
But il appears to those here who have
been reading the message less for his views
upon the state of the Union than for the
evidence of clear vision, of perfection OF
literary form and expression that MS
message marks an admirable advance tnat
in some portions of it there are models OF
simplicity, force, elegance of writing and
clearness of expression and that he has
within a year acquired gift which enables
him to compact into a sentence SO that III
NAV be carried in the minds or all men a
thought which he would have been tempted
in other days to have expressed discur-
sively.
1t was said here to-day by one who has
not been more than of tepid association
with the Republican party, and who has
watched Pr, sident Roosevelt experimental
Nv rather than admiringly. that after he
read the message and then called TO mlnu
earlier communications both OF President

Weird Story of Ill Luck of the Con.
gressionaI ommittee on Accounts.

Weird story of HI Luck of the Con-
gressionaI Committee on Accounts.
Washington Times.
William Tyler Page, the clerk to the
committee on accounts of the House, has
discovered the cause which he believes led
to the wholesale defeat of the members of
that committee at the recent election. OF
its nine members only four will be in the
next House
Chairman Bull, much to the surprise of
Democrats, as well as Republicans and
greatly to the disappointment of his friends,
suffered defeat at the polls, and will be
succeeded by Mayor Granger, of Provi-
dence. The Democratic Legislature of Mis-
souri, gerrymandered that State and placed
Representative Joy in a Democratic dis
trict. He will be left at home hext ses-
sion.
The postal clerks and letter carriers made
fight on Representative Loud, of Cali
fornia. chairman of the committee on post
offices and postroads, who failed to report
their bill. He will remain on the coast
when the next House is organized. After
more than 1000 ballots had been taken in
the nominating convention Representative
win and was not candidate for re-elec-
ton.
Representative Wooten, of Texas, owing
to the peculiar primary law in the Lone
Star State, failed to receive renomina-
ton at the hands of his party. Represent
ative Dinsmore, of Arkansas, had a narrow
escape from defeat at the hands of an
other Democrat who wanted to represent
his constituency. and the result in his dis
trict was in doubt for several days
handful of votes turned the scale In Mr..
Dinsmore's favor. Representative Hughes.
of West Virginia, won only after a bitter
struggle
Mr.. Page, The clerk to the committee,
was candidate for Congress in the Second
Maryland district, but after a hard-fought
campaign was defeated by former Repre-
sentative Talbot
Since the election he has been diligently
endeavoring to find the "hoodoo" which
wrought such havoc among the personnel
of the committee. He discovered it to-day.
When the committee moved into Its new
rooms on the ground floor of the Capitol
gilded horseshoe was placed over the
door, and while it remained there every
thing went on smoothly with them.
Last summer decorators and painters
came to renovate and clean the rooms
The gilded horseshoe was taken down and
paign progressed, election day came and
disaster befell the committee on accounts
No one could assign n general cause and
Mr.. Page became weary of defining special
reasons.
Yesterday the gilded horseshoe, begrimed
with SCOT and dirt, was found in the open
fireplace when the janitor began cleaning
out. The secret was out, and now the
emblem Of good luck will be washed, re-
gilded and restored to its former position
above the committee room door.

THE MESSAGE AS LITERATURE.
Intellectual and Literary Growth Of

New York Letter in PHILADELPHIA Press.

Scholars. lawyers who cultivated to
the highest tastes of literature, two at least
of our judges for with no more was COM
munication held to-day, have discovered in
this message another growth, partly intel
lectual, partly literary. Before Theodore
Roosevelt became President, and at a time
when IL seemed as though his career was
to be in other fields than those of politics.
he had strong impulse toward 4 career Of
applied literature.
He had not the gift of high imagination
nor does he possess the capacity for lyric
utterance, and he, therefore, could not
reasonably have hoped for pre-eminent
place among those whose achievements are
In literature. Strangely enough, too, when
his private or face TO face conversation is
remembered, the gift for sententious utter
ance then often revealed seemed to be
deadened when he wrote. He struggled
hard to acquire faculty for concise brief,
epigrammatic utterance, gift which to a
greater degree than any living American,
Thomas Bracket Reed possesses. The
apothegm that bites In the thought and
fixes 1t fndeiibly in the memory is not to be
found in President Roosevelts earlier writ
ings

sudden and momentous destiny has made
possible, or else a most earnest. patient and
even wearisomc discipline, or perhaps both
