PRESIDENT RooSEvBLr'S RETURN HOME
RELIEF TO HIS FRIENDS.
Governor 0dell OF New York VIII
Succeed Platt as a Republican
Leader.

WASHINGTON, SErr., So, 1909.
President Roosevelt returned to
this city last week, having been
obliged to discontinue his western
trip because Of an injury received
in the accident at Pitts6eld, Mass.
Secretary Cortelyou states that the
President is not suffering from the
operation, which he was compelled
to undergo at indianapolis as result
of his injury at Pittsheld. Mass.
and it is believed that brief but
complete rest will entirely restore
him to health. There is evident a
general feeling Of relief in Washing.
ton at the excellent condition in
which the President arrived here rs
it was feared that he would prove
to be in more serious condition
than the bulletins stated. Person.
ally, Mr.. Roosevelt is held in the
highest esteem by the members Of
all parties and his death would be
regared as national calmity.
Not only is this true because OF the
regard which his manly personality
has elected on all sides, but It is
also due to the fact that we're any
thing to happen to MIR. Roosevelt,
he would be succeeded in the White
House by that dilletante inverte-
brate, the present Secretary of
State. The death of President
Mckinley and the two narrow es.
capes of President Roosevelt, have
served to call public attention to the
fact that IN the event Of the death
of both the President and the Vice
President, the person to succeed
them would be one selected by the
President and who might never re-
ceived the suffrage of single
citizen for any Office, most
anomalous condition Of affairs.

The New York convention has
met and, as that is the Presidents
state. its conventions has a national
interest. The effort OF the Republi-
can press to make it appear that
there are serious differences be-
tween Senator Plat and Governor
Odell is most amusing to those &C.
quainted with the inside facts.
Governor Odcll is too shrewd a
politician to quarrel with the "easy
boss, into whose shoes he is prepar.
ing to step. While Senator Plat is
still a strong political power in his
state, it is evident to all who see him
that his physical condition will soon
make his retirements from active
politics imperative, and when he
retires Governor Odell will be his
successor. To the close observer,
however, il is evident that, with
view OF misleading the general public
there is pretence Of friction be-
tween the two Republican leaders.
This was first occasioned by the
spreading Of the report that Odell
was the "puppet" OF Plat and
subsequently both have found il a
matter Of great convenience in
opposing measures urged by their
friends, TO make the other the
apparent factor in accomplishing the
defeat OF those measures. The
New York convention Endorsed Pres.
ident Roosevelt and recommended
his nomination in 1904. The trust
question is referred to in the most
general terms and statement to the
effect that the bad trusts must be
ciIcumvented is included, although
there is no Endorsement of Mr..
Roosevelps scheme for federal con
troll. The only reference TO the
tariff is a reformation Of the benefits
to be derived from protection.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1902-10-02


Now that the public is treasured
OF the welfare Of Mr.. Roosevelt, 1t
may be stated that there is corrider-
able relief felt by the Republican
managers that his western trip was
interrupted. Chairman Griggs of
the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee recently made public state
ment In which he said that the
President was doing yoeman's work
for the Democratic party and tina,
opinion is largely held by the Pres
idents political associates. His
utterances in regard to the trusts, in
the light OF the unwilingness of
the Republican party to adopt
any remedy which would afford
genuine relief from the trust
evils, were bound, sooner or later.
to result in vastly increased Demo-
cratic vote. His statement on the
tariff question proved entirely un.
satisfactory to the western people.
They we're palpably lacking in en-
thusiasm and In certainty of con-
viction. To the most casual OBJ
server, IL was evident that the Prcsi-
dents personal convictions were not
expressed in his utterances and he is
a poor dissembler. 1t has reached
your correspondent from private
sources, that the people at Logans-
port manifested their disappoint.
ment in the Presidents position on
the tariff revision as a non partisan
commission is not new but il is
chimerical. 1t was tried during the
Arthur administration with entirely
Improbable results. 1t was demon
strated then that Republican con-
gressmen would not accept the cut
and dried recommendation OF a
civil commission. The tariff is a
local issue, and when tariff revision
is undertaken in Congress every
Congressman strives with mighty
effort TO preserve or increased the
duties on these schedules in which
his own constituents are interested.

text is in verse 10, chapter q. and reads as
follows: And he measured the city with
the reed 1900 furlongs The length and
the breadth and the height of it are equal"
He concludes that this represents a space
of 4611S3. .OsS, GOO 0o0, 100000 cubic feet. The
terprising statistician sets aside one-half of
this space for the throne and the court OF
heaven, and one-half of the balance for
streets. which would leave a remainder of
124. .19S. .2I2 900 900 00OO0 cubic feet. He then
proceeds to divide this by 4,096, the number
of cubical feet in a room IS feet square,
and this process gives him 50 321. S43. $50, ,00O,
900 rooms of the size indicated. He then
proceeds upon the hypothesis that the world
now contains, always has contained and will
always contain $780, 900 inhabitants, and
that a generation lasts for thirty-three and
One-third years, which gives a total num-
ber of inhabitants every century of 2,29I .0O0,-
900. He assumes that the world will stand
1000 centuries. or 10000 years, which give
total of 29i0. COO 900, 600 inhabitants for this
period OF time. He then reaches the reas-
suring conclusion that if 100 worlds of the
same size and duration, and containing the
same number of Inhabitants. should redeem
all the Inhabitants there would be more
than 100 rooms of the size indicated for each
person.

Prison Bible Lore.

Pupils of the school in the New York
State Prison at Sing Sing are an interesting
lot to even a disinterested spectator, says the
New York Herald. All natlonalities are as
scmbled in this schooiroom; most of the
faces are bright and thoughtful, and every
countenance exhibits profound attention
to the daily lesson and lecture.
Perhaps it is q mark of diligence and en-
thusiasm that each and every pupil in
yariably insists that he never neglects an
educational opportunity.
A few days since the school teacher (an
inmate) delivered lecture to his class upon
physiological anatomy. He drew the shape
of the heart the lungs, the liver, upon the
blackboard and described the functions of
each: and he concluded his lecture with
especially interesting and instructive infor-
nation about the kidneys.
The lecture finished. the teacher in dwell
ing upon another matter. had occasion to
refer to the Bible.
Said he:
Il wish to say to you that outside of the
spiritual benefit to be derived from the
Bible there Is so much of value to be OBJ
tanned from it that every man should be
thoroughly conversant with it. How many
of you read the Bible?"
With the ever readiness to exhibit thirst
for knowledge. each hand shot an enthusl-
astic affirmative quickly into the air. Even
the teacher was astonished, and perhaps
somewhat indignant. too. at so many bare
faced lies on such a sacred subject, for ne
suddenly pointed to a bright-eyed Italian
and demanded:
You read the Bible, do you? Tell me, Of
what does the book of Genesis treat?'
With absolutely no show of hesitation the
answer came. loud and strong:
