It is More Than Personal.

Referring to the appointment Of
William Michael Byrne to his former
position of United States district at
torney, the Morning News says:
1t is now announced by the PhiladeI-
phia Press no doubt as the result Of q
conversation between the editor of the
paper and President Roosevelt on Satur-
day--that the appointment of Mr..
Byrne as United States district at
torney for Delaware was purely a
personal appointment
Well, even If that Is the case il does
not remove the objections that have
been offered. 1t is further said thai
the President does not intend to take Z
hand in Delaware in respect to tn,
senatorial contest, and the Press
declares that further appointments il
this State will be made '.in reasonable
harmony with the general sentiment o
y their communities. /"
This may mean much or little
Nevertheless the Republicans through
out the country have expressed them
selves in no uncertain fashion on th
recent PERSONAL appointment. and |
will remain for the President to deter
mine for himself how far he is
I
can party in regard to Delaware. Th
Press, in making this statement, cor
cludes by saying that it 'tprufoundl
hopes the Republicans OF Delawar
will stand fast, and that under n
circumstances will the State or th
Nation be dishoKored by the success {
conspiracy which is founded upo
personal selfshness and public dt
bsuchery." Every serious minded cit
szen Of the State will echo the hope
ne ph;,adeIphia Press.
Is1s more than a personal appoin
ment 1t may be acknowledged tbs
MIR. Byrne had aided President Roos,
welt in his candidacy for governor
New York by canvassing the State an
making speeches in support OF b
election. But this does not explai
why President Roosevelt resppointe
Mr.. Byrne to the office of district a
torney for Delaware.
There is. only one explanation for tn
action on the part of President Roos,
welt, and that is this: That he ha
committed himself to Addicks an
admitted that Addicks was the ool
trolling power in the Republics
politics Of Delaware. That he had col
sented to recognize Addicks as IL
representative of the best Republics
sentiment of the State.
President Roosevelt cannot no
refrain from admitting that he made
great mistake in extending the hand
recognition to Mr., AddiclSs- He ia
do no better move than by turnir
right around and reversing his recogn
tion into flat refusal

Addicks admits that he has spent
about $3.50, 900 on elections 10 this State
during the past dozen years, or at tue
rate OF little more than $40, 600 a
year. As elections are held bienally,
the expediture equals little more than
$40, COO at each Of the six elections that
have bcen hold during this period.
This is pretty steep, and far in excess
of legitimate demands. And shen it is
considered that 1t will not begin to ex-
press tho amount that was actually
spent, some idea Of the enormous extent
Of the corruption of Addicksism may
he obtained. Addioks' confession merely
supplies basis OF estimate.

Woman is often referred to by man
as doubling his joys and halving his
sorrows p" That may be complimentary
but it would seem TO be rather hard on
the woman. For in plain terms it
means that where things are going we'll
with the man his wife makes them go
better. But when things are going i'll
with him, he expects the wife to share
half his burden. And there's more
truth than poetry in this presentation
of masculine selfishness. Men don't
| appreciate the fact that the strain oil
motherhood alone is burden bigger
| than all the loads that rest upon male
shoulders. They see the wife grow thin,
pals, nervous and worn without a
thought that she is over burdened.

DIR. Pierce are those from husbands
who have walked up before it was toe

Washington, Nov. %. Important de-
tails are lacking in the report OF the
affair received here, and the officials
are in doubt as to what should he
done. They have no notion of sur
rendering without protest an Ameri-
can citizen TO tie courts of Guatemala
unless satisfied that the man is a
proper subject for punishment. Even
then it is not at all certain that the
department itself has the right to
waive any legal exemption that the

accord surrender any such exemption

caliber guns at fort Wright were dis
abled recently in test by the gun-car-
riage board. It is said that 60 per cent
OF the artillerymsn Ut the coast forts are
raw recruits who have never fired a large
caliber gun in their lives. There has
been. in fact, great lack, Of actual prac-
tice with the guns, while In our navy
there is incessant drill in handling and
firing the big naval guns. The success
OF our navy of Santiago bay was due
largely to the utilization of large guam
titles Of gunpowder in target practice,
"a process which has not been much in
evidence at our coast Notifications.
Still our coast fortifications are very
much better prepared than In 1898, when.
had Spain possessed a formidable navy, she
might have effected no little damage to
our unprotected coast cities.
Admitting that we are still little
weak in our coast defenses, the know1-
edge of such weakness should speedily
work out it's removal. Concurrently with
our effective naval increase must come
effective coast defense at whatever cost.
This rich nation must in time Of peace
prepare effectively for war. ., Great
ness and growth beget jealousies. The
attainment of world-power condition be-
gets necessity for defense and we cannot
escape the responsibilities of our ad-
vanced position. A state Of preparedness

DR.. Beardshear, president Of the Iowa

ISOLATION when it met here, died
to-day. It will be remembered that
DR.. Beardshear came to- Minneapo-

too Ill soon after his arrival to give any
attention to the work of the convention.
He came here in a very much debilit ated
condition on account Of overwork, and the
excitement and responsibility incident to
the convention itself proved to be. too
much for him in his weakened condition.
Or. Beardshear was recognized, as his po-

of the leading educators of the country,

Dodd, Mead & Co., Mcclure, Phillips & Co.,

Henry Holt & Co., Little, Brown & Co. and
Doubleday, Page & Co. are all agreed that
it would be disadvantagsous to the publisher
to discontinue the practice of sending books
to the newspapers for notice. One or two OF
them believe it is best to send prepared de-
scriptive notices, in. no sense critical, OF
books to be- dealt with critically. They
prefer critical reviews because OF the pub
licity given to the books. The publishers
find generally, that reviews are not written
to get "ads.'' Doubleday, Page & Co. say
many Of the best reviews they receive ap-
pear in journals In which they rarely adver-

views have value according to the standing
of the paper publishing them, and the man
who writes them. Holt & Co. say that honest
and intelligent reviews are decided. adyan-

munity. The Harpers regard reviews valua-
sble according to the extent the contents OF g
book are summarized, whether a work ol
fiction or serious work. Houghton, Mirhin

reviewers who show that they give them q
fair reading and consideration. Mcclure
Phillips & Go. say that discontinuance OF the
present custom of reviewing books would
be a Observation-Disclosures disaster-to the

the public depends largely on the opinions
