ROOSEVELT TO DATE,
"A Republican and a Democrat Give
Their Judgment of Him.

The first two articles in the Decombcr
number of the North American Review
are devoted to an examination, from two
points OF View-that of a Progressive Re-
pup'icah ana that OF Jeffersonian DEM
ocrat, represented by two able and emf
nent writer's whose identity is not re-
Neaied-of the accomplishments of Pres
ldent Roosevelts First Year in Office" +"
Both the Progressive Republican and the
Jenersonian Democrat have approached
the subject and treated 1t in q temperate I o
and Judicial spirit, absolutely devoid of
partisan nnimus, and the judgments of
both, being based upon principles, will
command the serious attention of
thoughtful readers. The Republican finds
much to commend in the Presidents $ an

GREAT NEWS SCOOP"
Reporting Disaster to the British
Battleship Victoria.

| Frank l.. Blanchard of the editorial
| staff on the New York News recently
| delivered a lecture on The Making
| of a Newspaper" under the auspices OF
| the board of education of New York
| city in one of the public schools. Re
| ferring to "beats," Mr.. Blanchard
said:
The greatest beat of modern times
was when the New York World pub
lshed ahead of any other paper on
earth the thrilling details of the sink
ing of the Victoria, the British battle
ship, off Tripoli. 1t was known that
a great calamity had befallen the Brit
ish war vessel in 1898, for a brief no.
tice had been sent to paper in South
Africa and cabled from there all over
the world. The London correspondent
of the World determined to get the full
story ahead of any other paper. He
telegraphed the operator Of the cable
station in Tripoli that he would pay
him large sum of money, naming the
amount, If he would sennd him 1000
words giving the full story of the trag-
edy of the sea. Several days later he
received Il message, signed by Il
Frenchman, saying that he would send
the story, but must have $500 ON de-
posit on filing. There was no way for
the London correspondent to telegraph
the money because the Turkish author
tiles at the other end of the wire would
not take money orders over the wire,
so he took long chance by telegraph
ing the Frenchman 10 raise the money
If possible where he was and he would
make 1t good as soon as it could be
dispatched to him. There was soma do
lay, but by and by the message began
to pour in upon the London correspon-
dent. and so the World printed the first
graphic account of the loss of 335 men
and officers that was given to the civil |
lied world, beating even the London |
papers.

his firm adherence to the Monroe Docs
trine and his cordial attitude toward
England will be applauded. His appar-
ent desire to revise the tariff will be conf
mended. His ultimate eNi$bition of 4
wish to curb the trusts through the eN-
ercise of powers conferred by the Con-
stitution, rather than through Il Consti-
tutional Amendment will also he regard
ed with approval. On the other hand. his
appointment of the Anthracite Commits
sion should be looked upon by all lovers
of our Federal institutions, not only
with profound regret, but with severe
dsapprobation. 1t is Il first step in the
perilous pathway that leads to the asser-
ton of autocratic authority, an act that
seems destined to give the Roosevelt Ad-
