Roosevelt's Strength.

The pilgrimage of the republican leaders Of New York to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay followed by the declaration of Senator Thomas C. Platt that the president will have a solid delegation from his own state at the national convention, marks sig nificant turning point in President KoCsevelt's political coreer. To the nssses ci the people, to the average American citizen. President Roosevelt 's career did not begin with his installa- tion last September. nor even with his e -ction as vice-president of the United Sta tes. It began when he was a can didate for mayor of New York City. At that time his indomitab!e courage and disregard of entanglirg red tape marked him man Of coming distinc- tion. He appealed to the imagination Of the American people

A Good Beginning.

All of the suggestions made by MT. Maxwell yesterday were based on sound reasoning, but those which have the most important bearing on the storage problem at this stage Of the matter were embodied in his advice to the peo pie to drop all differences, to approach the task in a spirit of harmony and conciliation, and to avoid complica tions by ignoring all issues which do not properly pertain to the main question
 For instance, it was telling point that the controversy over the priority of rights to the water in the river is q question which will settle itself as soon as the reservoir is in operation there will then be an abundance of water for all. Bearing upon the same point was his suggestion that there is no need to determine what is the nor mai f1ow'' of the river, and that, in deed, the term normal flow is . mis- homer in discussing such a variable stream as the Salt river. As a matter of fact, it would be next to impossible to determine what is the truly normal flow Of this stream. And it would be still more difficult in practice to dis tribute the water to irrigators with any view to the separation of the regular flow in the river from the water which had been stored. Once transferred to the canals, it would be impracticable as we'll as unnecessary, to divide the volume made up from the river and from the reservoir.
 Hardly less important was Mir Max wells suggestion that the time has not yet arrived for worry over the acquire ment of the reservoir site. A vast amount of transformation and un- founded surmise has been extant as tC the probability of difficulty in that di- rection. Common sense and a spirit oi fairness will solve this problem as al others that may be connected with the work of obtaining Q reservoir through construction by the government.

A Tardy Apology.

General Smiths brief and manly statement will but tend to convince the public that he is every inch a soldier Washington Post.
 The above comes as a tardy sort of apology from a newspaper which has led the pack in denunciation of Gen eral Jacob Smith. For weeks the col umns of the Post have been filled with biting allusions to Hell Roaring Jake The old veteran was held up as black guard, a monster, a disgrace to the American uniform. His long record of honorable service went for nothing. That he risked his life on numberless and flag. that he had won promotion after promotion for bravery and merit, that as a commander he had shown superb ability, that he was noted for his tender regard for the lives and comfort of his men, that his career had been without a stain, was all forgotten in the eagerness to say something against our soldiers in the Philippines, to say something which in some way would reflect on the national admins tration. There was no consideration for the circumstances under which the kill and burn order was ut tered. There was no appreciation for the state of mind of an officer who had suddenly learned that two-score of his beloved officers and soldiers had been treacherously murdered and foully mutilated by the savages of Samar in a manner to put an Apache to the blush. There was no appreciation of the fact that the officer who heard the order and acted on it to the extent of killing eleven of the savages was not in q mental condition to discriminate and make allowances for the over wrought feelings of his chief.
 General Smith was at fault, and the president placed him on the retired list But nobody can read President Roose- velt's order Of retirement without knowing that the order was made from a heart full of sympathy for the griz- zled veteran who served as a target for all the malicious bitterness of the soldier-hating copperheads General Smith accepted his rebuke with the manly spirit which has characterized his entire record in the army. and the Washington Post at this late day con- cludes that he is every inch soldier '' | Indeed, he is.

Because the governor had honesty of purpose and the welfare of the territory so much at heart that he could not overlook the afoot by fraudulent promoters, and he publicly denounced them The de- nCuncement was seized upon by the Bulletin and the democratic papers and made their campaign slogan against paign.

Microbes, and Perjury.

It appears that the lawmakers of New Jersey, in warning against the mi crobe. are promoting the perjury in- dustry Physicians and sanitary eX- perts told the legislators that about one person in five is afflicted with some disease communicable by kissing, ana it needed but a moments calculation to show the infectious possibilities Of the Bible used in an ordinary police court movement may be started, however. to restore the custom 1or' according to one of the daily papers, Prosecutor William J. Crossley of Mer- cer county, of which Trenton is the seat, declares that ''since the solemn practice of kissing the Bible has been eliminated from the oath, witnesses in criminal trials recklessly prevaricate.' MT. Crossleys explanation of this al legged fact is very instructive. He says that "the witnesses in criminal trials usually are from a class that is not given to truth-telling except when ln fear of eternal damnation of the soul or in dread of thirty days in jail for being caught lying. Many of this class of witnesses were awed by the old form of oath, which included the kissing of the Bible" There is no lack Of relig- ious belief, then, among this class.
 The criminologists who opposed be- fore the legislature the discontInuance of the practice said that when a crim- inal intended committing perjury 'he usually avoided kissing the Bible by declaring he had conscientious scru- ples. He would then raise his right hand and affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth. and nothing but the truth in the issued joined between the state of New Jersey vs. Peter Jones, defend- ant The witness knew he was com nitting statutory perjury, of course, for which he could, and probably would be punished if caught. But the criminal argued that he was not 'goin' agin' the Bible, though so he willingly aided his pal with any sort of a story and took the chances of being tripped by the state.
 Prosecutor Crossley goes so far as to openly attribute the failure of justice in two important criminal trials direct ly to the absence of the Bible kiss on the part of witnesses. In weighing that statement. allowance must be made for the fact that MT. Crossley lost the cases, and that it is customary in such event to account for the failure on some other theory than the weakness of the prosecution

 Hopeless Incompetencv.

A letter addressed to President Roosevelt from Lake George by the antl-imperialist committee on the late war in the Philippines deserves atten- ton, not as rehearsal Of facts, but as revelation of a state of mind. Hay ing been reduced by events to the ne- cessity of either keeping silent or bringing an indictment contrary to the evidence with which they and all others are familiar, the authors of this epistle chose the latter course. But if they mad merely announced series of un- supported conclusions their conduct would have called for comment. since that is what they have led the country t. expect. The remarkable thing about tEe lH0lctment which they bring is the
 rank confession that it is based not cii Knowledge ia their possession. but on
 the assumption that the president

An Honored Craf..

Tomorrow, at Cincinnati. the semi centennial celebration and fifteenth an- nual session of the International Typo graphical Union will begin. It is fit ting that Cincinnati should be the place of meeting, for it was at Gin cinnati, in 1852, that the National Union was formed, fourteen local unions making up the organization In 1867. on the admission of the repre- sentatives of the Canadian unions. the name was changed to International Typogra phical Union of North America. The remarkable growth of the organi- zation is shown by the statistics of membership. The number of local unions has increased until there are now over 300, and the membership, be- ginning with less than 1000, now num- bers over 42,0O0.
 It is not alone in the matter of age and membership that the typographical union is notable. It is the most con- servative labor organizatio in the country, not excepting the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers It is representative of the highest American intelligence, therefore the highest in- telligence in the world. It was as stunned by many that the introduction of typesetting machinery, which has taken the place of typesetting by hand in nearly all newspaper offices. would operate to lower the standard of abil- ity required for membership in the union, but results have been to the contrary. The linotype calls for me- chanical skill as well as education and natural intelligence, and accordingly | the machine typesetter may well be called the premier skilled workman of America today
 Perhaps in no other branch of labor has the evolution of the workman been so marked as in the printing trade
 New conditions call for a higher de- gree of excellence in all lines, of course. but it is especially in the print ing trade that we find the worker to be of wholly different type from his predecessor of a generati ago. Ab- solute sobriety is now the invariable
 rule, instead of an exception. The
 printer of today is sober and self-re-
 printer is at the head of the craft.

SEVEN PERSONS HURT ARE URGED TO VOTE
CHAIRMAN SKEGGS APPEALS TO
DEMOCRATS.
No Member of the Party Should
Carelessly Refrain from Going
to the Polls on Day Of
the Election.

Decatur, Oct. 27.-(Special .)-Hon
Henry A. Skeggs. chairman of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee of the Eighth
Congressional District has issued the fol-
lowing appeal to the voters of the district:
The Congressional. State and County
elections will be held Tuesday Novem-
Der 4th, and 1t Is the patriotic duty of
every loyal Democrat to go to the polls,
induce his neighbor to accompany him,
and evidence his interest in the success
of the Democracy by taking an active
part in getting out and rolling up a large
Democratic vote on that day. Our Con-
gressional and State nominees have Re-
publican opposition, and no Democrat
should carelessly refrain from participant
ing in ,.-e election, believing that the
Democratic ticket is SAFE for we may
confidently expect that the Republican
party will cast its full strength in the
coming contest The Democrats of the
district should zealously labor for the VIC
tory just as if the opposition to our nomi-
nees was most formidable and agrees
sive. Alabama owes all her blessing of
good government that her people have
so long enjoyed to Democratic administra-
tions There is no reason at this time
why those who have affiliated heretofore
with our party should now be induced to
leave our ranks.
Our party has nominated for Governor
a man of patriotism and eminent ability
who is we'll versed in the affairs of the
Executive Department of the State. Gov
ernor Jelks, in the primaries, was the
overwhelming choice of the Alabama
Democrats for Chief Executive. and
should receive the cordial support of the
Eighth District Democracy in the coming
election. The other nominees for State
offices have already served the people
faithfully in various capacities. and are
Untitled to receive the support of every
Democrat who goes to the polls.
"Our county nominees are able men
| who enjoy the confidence of the people
| they aspire to serve, and are Democrats
| who merit and deserve to be elected to
the offices for which they have been nomi-
mated. That sterling Democrat, our dis
| tinguished nominee for Congress, Judge
William Richardson, has made brilliant
record as our Representative. He is re-
earded in the nation as one of the ablest
and best equipped men in Congress. This
should be an additional incentive to the
Democrats of the district to strive to
secure for him a large and enthusiastic
vote. The new Republican party Is max
ing desperate efforts to get recruits from
the Democratic ranks. and should the
Democrats remain away from the polls
and permit the Republicans to make a
close contest it would be great encourage
ment in future elections for that party to
make vigorous and determined struggle
TO carry the day.
1--WE therefore urge the Democrats of
the district to action; that splendid vic
tory may be won for the nominees of our
PARTY, which insures an honest. sincere
discharge of duty by those who have at
heart the most vital interest of the people
Of Alabama"

Miss Anthony Mourns.


Rochester, N. Y, Oct. 27-The news Of
the death of Elizabeth Cady Stanton fell
with crushing weight upon Susan b. An
thony, who had planned to go to New
York on November II to assist the VEN
cradle advocate of woman's suffrage in
the celebration of her s7th birthday. Miss
Anthony tonight said:
Through the early days, when the
world was against us, we stood together.
Mrs. Stanton was always a courageous
woman, a leader of thought and new
movements. 1 always called her the phi
losopher and statesman of our movement.
She was a most finished writer. and ev-
cry state paper presented to Congress or
the State Legislature in the early days
was written by Mrs. Stanton.
The last time ! saw Mrs. Stanton was
IN June She talked about the other side"
said Miss Anthony. but had no faith
that there was any other world. She
always said this was a beautiful world,
and she wanted to stay here as long as
possible. She believed in the immutable
law in everything. and didn OF believe in
any special providence for herself or any
one else"
Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton have
campaigned together all over this coun-
try. They went to England together in
1888.
She went to call an international suf-
frage convention" said Miss Anthony,
but the English people were afraid of
it then. But it was at that time she con-
ceived the idea of the convention. which
five years later was held in Washington
and later formed into the International
Council of Women. We received many
attentions on this visit to England, being
received by John Bright and other dis
tinguishcd persons"
