The Courier has long since ceased tc
engage in the activities of political cam
paigning, but none the less notes current
events in such matters for the informa-
ton of its readers. Set down naughi
in malice but all in good will that there
is storm of dissatisfaction brewing as
to the early call for congressional
primary in this District. Whether
there is any partiality or purpose in
this early call or not, there are hundreds
Of democrats who would be better salts
fled with later primary and there are
some who suspect unfairness. This
element OF life long democrats COM
mand respect, and if their wishes are
not respected the dissatisfaction is
likely to grow ana increase. 1t should
be remembered that there is in the
District large element who are not
thoroughly trustful as to party manage
ment, and it does not take all convinc-
ing facts or arguments to contiue
and increase their dissatisfaction. To
denounce such voters as "bolters" and
traitors" does not secure their love or
insure their party re-alignment. A
later primary would answer their de-
mand. and violate no party principle.

THe PRESIDENT OPPOSED Tot.

Washington, March President
Roosevelt, in conference with mum
Der OF western congressman, today
plainly stated his opposition to some of
the provisions of the irrigation bill now
pending in the house. The president
heartily approved of the general pur-
poses of the bill, but frankly stated to
day that he could not approve the
measure as it now stands, He is
especially opposed to the section pro
viding for state control of the appro-
priation, distribution and use of the
water from the irrigation canals. The
president believes that federal super

Inwardness Of the Mayors
Action Now Apparent
to All 0nlookers of
the Situation.
FORMERLY OPPOSED FAcAN
And Is a Man Who Would
Closely Watch His
Honor's Gang When
They Are at
"Work."

Ever since Mayor Fagan went out OF
his way to announce in a local organ that
he had decided to appoint DIR. Gordon
X. Dickinson, DR.. John ]. Bauman,
Benjamin L. Stowe and Albert G. Weis-
senborn members of the non-partisan
Board of Trustees which will have
charge of the construction of Jersey
City's proposed 100000 hospital build
ing, he has been raked over the Goals
by fair minded Republicans who have
the interests of the city at heart for re-
fusing to appoint DR.. John d. MeGill as
one of the Board. The erection of the
hospital was made possible in conse-
quence of DIR. McGil's unselfish efforts
and untiring energy, and the Republicans
asked for some reasonable explanation
from the Mayor for turning him down.
They didn't get any and are now telling
Pagan that he has made another of his
long series of mistakes. They pointed
out that McGill should have been placed
on the Board, not only because it would
be good politics from a Republican
standpoint, but because it was duty
which he owed to the city. The proposed
hospital project was created by DIR. Nc
Gill. He forced the issue, drew up the
bill, which the Republicans copied and
passed, and was fhe one of a city full
of men who was best fitted by reason of
his familiarity with the hospital needs to
have a place on the Board
The Republican kickers did not have
to kick long to find out why Mr.. Gill
was turned down. 1t was because the
Mayor hadn't forgiven him for giving out
an interview last fall to tae effect. that
he assald not. as q Demoerat wiiU ind

support Fagans candidacy for Mayor.
That bad break settled the doctor. be-
cause the man who is trying to hold
down the chair in the Mayors Office
wouldn't have any but Fagan Democrats
ON his hospital board.
There was another reason why Pagan
did not want McGill on the board which
he hasn't said anything aboat. He feared
that the doctor would be in the road
when the work gets under way, on ac-
count of his habit of exposing schemes
and denouncing extravaganza. He didn't
want the Republicans and Pagan Demo-
Gratis embarrassed in performing their
public duties"
There are rumors abroad thai the so-
called non-partisan board has decided
leaning towards Republicanism and that
the City Hospital will be made an annex
to the Republican machine.
board ex-ofiicio. He has one more trus-
tee to select. Just who that man will
be remains to be seen. 1t will not be
the man who secured the new hospital
for the city.

SUCH NICE GIRLS
It Cost a New Brunswicker
$40 to Think They Had
Stole S45 from Him.

George Fl. Stillwell, thirty-one years
old, p r. R. brakeman, living at No.
81 John street, New Brunswick, came to
town Saturday and made the acquaint-
ance of two soubrettes at the Washing
ton Garden, No. 273 Washington street.
conducted by Bernard Lennon, who was
recently refused license to sell liquors.
They got tired of drinking soft stuff and
adjourned to Jamison's saloon, at No.
267 Washington street, where they had
something stronger.
Later StillweIl ran out on the side
walk and complained to Policeman Chin
merry that he had been robbed of $40 in
cash and two Pennsylvania Railroad
passes by the girls whom he had been
entertaining. He said that the money
and passes had been stolen from his out
side upper waistcoat pocket when he
wasn't looking
ALL HANDS ARRESTED.
Chimney took the brakeman and the
two youthful soubrettes, who were ar
rayed in their summer finery, to the
First Precinct station house, where
Stillwell positively declared that he was
sure one of the girls had his money. He
would stake his life ON the accuracy of
his suspicious. he said, as no one but the
girls were near him.
The soubrettes, Elsie Harvey, of No.
1873 East Fourteenth street, and Bessie
Clifford, of No. 1873 East Twelfth street,
pouted and stamped their feet while
Stillwell was telling Captain Cody how
they got his money. They proclaimed
their innocence and said that was a
shame for man, and married man at
that, to tell such awful stories about two
young ladies.
BITTER BIT.
Stillwell finally announced that he
would prefer a charge of larceny from
the person against the soubrettes and
have them locked up. Captain Cody ad-
vised him to look through his clothes and
see if he didn't have the money secreted
in one of his pockets. Stillwell made a
bluff at searching and then the Captain
took hand in the game. The brakeman
was stripped and the missing money and
passes were found safely t1cked away
in an inner waistcoat pocket.
Stillwell pretended to be greatly sur
prised and said that he didn't have the
slightest idea how they got there. He was
still further surprised when Captain
Cody made him prisoner as disorder
ly person and told the indicted soubrettes
to go home.
The. samsels. left the station hoVse
threatening to send a letter to Stiliwells s
wife telling all about his trip to Jersey
City.
Stillwell was fined $40 in the First
Criminal Court this morning.
