A DEsERvED TnIBUrE

The Detroit Free Press, a journal
sturdy in its Democracy, comes to the
defense OF the President in the attack
which Chairman Griggs makes upon
him. Il is a tribute conceived in a
spirit of fairness, and not as a tiibute
TO the Republican party. Il reads
No one having an intelligent APP
proach to knowledge of President
Roosevelt's character and record will
take any stock in the structures recently
put Npon him by Chairman Grlggs, OF
the Democratic Congressional Commit
tee. The statement OF the chairman,
especially prepared for political con-
sumption, amounts to a charge against
the President that his movement
AGAINST trusts is only a bluff to ad-
vance the interests of the Republican
party at the approaching elections.
The entire public career of the head
OF the National Government and the
whole story OF his life tend to brand
this accusation as a libel. Such faults
as he has grow out of his extreme can
dor and that aggressiveness which is
AT its best when he is opposed. He is
not only a born fighter, but he fights in
the open and the prospect OF encoun-
tcring defeat impairs neither his brav-
cry nor his valor.
The President is many removes from
a politician in the usual acceptation of
the term. He is a conscientious stu
dent and thinker. forming his own con-
victions and standing by them more
firmly In adversity than I'm success. II
he were a politician. or II ne we're a
demagoguo enough TO think that the
chief end of a man I'm his exalted posi-
tion is to fortify the party to which he
belongs, regardless of methods or con-
sequences to the people he would have
|conciliated the beet-sugar interests by
compromise and preserved the unity OF
the ranks.
But he did nothing OF the kind, and
he Is still fighting. He impresses us
as being just as much in earnest in the
matter OF trusts. No "bluff" would
have gone far enough to have dragged
mon like Mr. Morgan and Mr.. Hill into
the courts, provoked the meat trust to-
a threat of dire revenge or exposed by
investigation the inherent evils of the
coal trust All these are rich providers
OF the sinews of war to the party I'M
power. and they will never treat the
manner in which the President has
gone after them as a bluff" He has
shown himself a poor politician as the
game is played these days, but he isl
next to the people, and IL he Keeps
straight on in the way he is going they
will probably see to il that the trusts
and the trust servers do not do the
nominating in 1904.

HOW AN AMBITIOUS GIRL MAY
MAKE MONEY In VACATION TIME

She did the work we'll. hor friends
would gladly recommend her to others,
and she soon would have a paying
clientele.
Packers are born. not made. and the
girl who possesses the trick can make
money hand over fist" as the saying
goes, if she cares to- put her talent To
account Most women hate to pack
trunks and usually make a muddle OF
it. They know this. and would hail
with relief the assurance that their
pretty frocks would reach their desti-
nation fresh and unrumpled.
Palmistry is a popular fad, and the
are OF reading the ordinary hand is
rather easily acquired There is liter
lature galore on the subject, and the
girl who makes herself mistress Of at
least a portion of it, and lets the fact
be known. will soon find her services
in demand at lawn fetes, garden parties,
children's parties and other like af-
fairs.
] And so it goes. The girl who can do
little thinking for herself. can decide
upon what most appeals to her-and
then devote herself TO it. Without
doubt, the result will be all that she
possibly could desire.
3 Vacation boys may do numerous
things besides play baseball and run
the streets. Some engage as errand
boys with grocers, merchants and
other business men. Some enter law
yers' offices and still others go into
newspaper offices. In their leisure
hours. they read the list of books set
aside for them in the library by Mr..
I lBOwerman. which has been published
in all the newspapers.
Other boys of a business-like turn OF
mind. go to the farms of relatives and
pick berries and other fruits, thereby
realizing quite a neat sum; others pick
,Cat-tails. dry and sell them. A pleas
lant business is to catch crabs, the sale
of which nets the young dealers a tidy
ilittle amount in the course of a sum-
,mer. Another occupation, not quite so
pheasant. perhaps, but equally lucra-
l5ive. is the gathering of bones and bits
,of old iron.
! Boys of a water-like turn of mind
.lgO fishing and sell their wares, and
some are known to fish for water lilies,
with good results, while others go on
hunts for the fragrant magnolia bios
lEoms. Perhaps the m0ney-making
,lscheme dearest to the heart of the
lsmall boy is that of running a circus.
l1lhese affairs are usually arranged in
lsome back yard, or cellar, and, after
Iweel1s of preparation, have been known
Ito net the boys participating. as much
las ten cents each-paid admissions
/, ranging from two TO five cents.
Some boys make splendid money by
r lselling newspapers; some reap quite o
/ little harvest on Wednesdays and Sat
r lVrdays by carrying market baskets for
women in King, Eighth and Madison
! street markets. One of the most prof
E litable of all the occupations of the sum-
[ liner boy is that of making and selling
o nowballs. One little fellow made
' lenough in that way last summer TO
tlssnd his mother and sister to the sea-
= lshore for a week. Along the same line
al the sale by express wagon delivery,
r lof ice procured from the ice car on the
e lBrandywine. These are few OF the
s numerous things which bright. alert
a boy may do to make money in vacation
flume.

A Flv-time Idvl

A horseily sat on an automobile.
And remarked TO a friend ON tine other
wheel.
Il say, old. chap, it's rather tough
To have to live on this rubber stuff.
What are we 10 do, I'd like to know.
If it's true. as they say, that the horse
must gol
Can we live on wind or caoutohouc,
Or the paint from the wheels when
they're bright and new?
In vain I've searched for a horse to-
day
Oh. l found not one on all Broadway
And for lack of food ! am faint and
weak
Oh where. oh. where, we're it best to
seek?"
Now the other fly was a wise old fly.
And these We're the words Inc spake in
reply:
"'Tis true. as you say, that the days
are gone
When horses were plenty for flies to
feed on,
And a fly today may travel far
And find at the end but motor oar;
But despite uhis fact there is still nc
need
To despair at the dearth OF the succu-
lent steed.
For a fly that is WISE when he iind'

OF the scorcher. and he cried: 'Out q

RorArIoNIN oTFICE

A correspondent residing in the
First senatorial district touches a mat
ter OF considerable interest TO Repuh-
llcan voters. He lays down the prin-
ciple OF rotation in Office. and thinks
that anyone who has served for four
consecutive years in either branch Of
the Legislature should retire. or be re-
tired. The idea is timely, and II we
mistake not the temper OF our voters.
It win md wide acceptance. In recent
years when we have sent men to the
Legislature The rule has been for
them TO begin setting up their fences
for denomination. A second term does
not satisfy. but n third is demanded
A representative who has served
two terms should he be elected to the
Senate. would be a member of the Leg
islature for eight years continuously,
Likewise q senator who is reelected
serves for the same length OF time.
This is too long, and encourages the
building of machines in the interests
of the favored ones.
Surely I'm the districts of Wilmington,
and throughout the State, there are
hosts OF tried and true Republicans
who have never tried their hand at
legislation, nor reaped the honors OF
office Third terms are not popular
with the people. and they are justified
in saying to perpetual onice-seekers
that they don't recognize anyone's
right TO hold Office in perpetuity.
Our correspondent calls attention to
the retirement of Senator Knox, who
holds that four years in the Senate is
long enough for any one man. and
yet there is an aspirant for his seat
who has served two terms in the House
OF Representatives. He also refers tc
tine fact that S. II. Baynard, who was
undoubtedly one of the most active
members OF that body. refuses renomi-
nation, holding that one term is all
that a man should ask for. We ar,
inclined to think chat representativ,
who has had the experience OF on,
session. and who has served his con
stituents we'll. might, with propriety
be elected a second time. but fou
years is long enough, and It would b.
proper to draw the line at that.

Vacation time has fallen upon the
land, and the question of spending it
pleasantly and profitably is one which
has yexed hundreds of school girls and
boys, and their parents.
Upon first being out of school girls
find it very delightful to lie about the
house and do little or nothing, except
small household duties, to practice
an hour or so a day, and read. The
boys find delight in playing ball, run
ming about The streets, and perhaps
reading a bit. But these diversions,
however alluring they may seem during
the school period, pail, and become
wearisome in an incredibly short time.
In a way, girls have the better Of
the proposition, except for the draw
back, Ofttimes q serious one, there is
no money in performing household
duties at home, practicing at music and
lreading. AS matter of fact,
/ there are scores of ways in
ltiOus giIl may spend her vacation with
profit to herself, and not unpleasantly
either.
Here are some things which a girl
may do:
may be made a profitable, as well as
pleasing, occupation, and one not in
the least labOrious.
The girl with a camera, by devoting
herself to business, may realize quite
a tidy sum during the summer months

sMALIpox INcnEAsING

Recently we called attention 10 the
necessity for all precautions on the
part Of our officials to keep the city
clear from smallpox contagion. At this
season we expect practical immunity,
but the fact that in the last ten days
eight cases have been reported should
impress us with the danger. The con-
tagion is being carried through the
summer. and unless something is done
to stay the spread OF the disease, at
the beginning OF the cool weather, a
few months hence. We shall have an
epidemic We are not endeavoring to
cause a panic; there is little danger OF
persons going about their business on
pleasure contracting the disease, bur
the situation is such that our officials
should take every precaution to pre-
vent an epidemic next fall.

the suspicion of Spanish treachory,

removed. But in her stead there floats
a larger better ship, showing that it

STEEL WORKERS INTERESTING
Large Numbers Of Spectators Stand Daily

Operations of the steel workers in
the local steel plant are a source Of
much interest to many people every
day. The spectators apparently take
pleasure in watching the long
snake-like bars of red hot metal pass
ed back and forth between the heavy
rolls and then sawed into pieces. The
sparks that fly around in showers seem
to have no effect on the bare, brawny
backs of the muscular men who handle
the steel Every day numbers of pas
sersby and idle people stand for hours
and watch the men put the steel
through the different processes.

BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER.
Supposed to Be That of John G.

The body Of a fioater. supposed to have
been John G.. Beiser. Jr.. was found in the
Mississippi River near Quarantine Monday
by Emil Juns. a quarryman. From a de-
scription furnished by Justice of the Peace
John Crecelius, Mr.. Beiser. ST.. Is certain
that the body is that of his son. who has
been missing from home since February "a.
Justice Crecelius described the foater as
q man about 5 feet s inches high. apparent
~ about 30 years old. He wore a blue and
gray check suit, a blue negligee shirt.
black lace shoes and white cotton socks
In a small daybook in a pocket Of his
trousers was found a card bearing the
name and address. John G. Beiser. 1917

After holding the inquest. where a verdict
Of accidental drowning was returned. the
body was buried near the place where it
was found. The body Of a floater was
seen near Jefferson Barracks last Satur-
and it is thought that this was the same
one.
Mr. Beiser. Sr.. when seen at his homo
last night, said he supposed his son had
committed suicide. as he had become dis
gusted with himself on account Of a reck-
