COL. RooSEVELT's BREVET.

NJ . NATTER whether Colonel Roose-
~ velt earned his brevets or not,
President Roosevelt acted properly
when he refu-ed to approve them. The
colonel was a miglr-J man Of valor He
charged up san Juan hill with his
sword between his teeth. a revolver in
each hand and the light of battle in
both eyes. The president is very diff
feren- individual. although General
Miles and other well known citizens
may take an opposite view.
Time was when Roosevelt would have
been accused OF self-advertising, and
properly so, if ne had turned down so
publicly an nonor 10 which he was en-
titled. lie cannot he accused Of this
now. lie needs advertising no longer
for ne is undoubtedly the best adver-
tised individual on the globe. with the
possible exception Of Rudyard KiDling
ami Richard Hsrding Davis. Therefore
ne is in a position to decline his bre-
vets without subjecting himself to in
vidious censure
There is a characteristic note in the
action The president, IL he was crowd
ed ueuld undoubtedly admit he is en-
titled TO his honorary promotions. but
ne passes them by through 4 modesty
which other men in public life might
initiate without loss Of prestige, There
is TOO much OF the porcine spirit among
our statesmen. They show too much de-
sire 20 draw glory unto themselves
y.ithout stopping 10 consider whether

This Roosevelt business isn't a bad
notion from a strictly thrifty point of

"sALT LAKE BE DAMNED. {"

4 CAREFUL PERUSAL Of the re-

courteous reception they We're accorded
by Messrs Burj Kruttschnitt Hood

and the girl was plunged into the water.
Her large picture hat caught over the
broken surface of the ice and kept her
from being swept under
The hat held her up long enough 10 get
her hands free and grasp the ice and by
desperate struggle she succeeded N

Jumped on a train without trying TO help
