Fears That They Will Injure the Presi-

The scandals in the Postofice De
partment, the New York World"
pretends to think, will hurt Mr..
Roosevelt politically, and ought to
hurt him, because they are the direct
results of his policy" That policy,
our esteemed contemporary explains,
"allows clerks and typewriters to be
selected by competitive examination,
and puts them under the command of
men like Payne, Heath, and Clark
SON."
Rubbish! We may have our opin-
ions regarding certain men, but we
also repeat, what we said the other
day, that our faith in the integrity
and lofty conception of duty of The
odore Roosevelt remains mistaken,
and will remain so, until it has been
demonstrated that he Is not heart and
soul in favor of cleaning the Augean
stables of the Postoffice Department.
Let our contemporary remain calm.
Not many of the labors Of Hercules
were performed in a single day And
to expect the President to uproot
overnight what Is the growth of de-
cede is to expect the impossible
Of one thing our contemporary
may be certain: The President has the
courage of correcting his mistakes.

Modern Tests of ValOr.
Some Ideas Suggested by a Recent Ad-
venture at St. Louis.

Times have changed since the age
of the historical novel. When a great
military authority in those days went
abroad, he expected to be challenged
to exhibitions Of his personal bravery,
and he was prepared to give them. If
an enemy crossed his path he was all
ready with sword. lance or dagger to
meet that enemy and give him his
quietus. Did he fail to do this, he
could not live to be the hero of an his
torical novel. Those were the days
when the survival of the fttest was a
condition and not theory.
But it Is different now. General
Corbin encountered a yellow dog in
st. Louis the other day, and the dog
attacked him. As a great military au-
thority it seemed unsuitable for him
to run, especially as ST Louis just
now is full Of reporters. Had he been
clad III armor cap-a-pie ii were an
easy matter for him to give that dog
one kick with his mailed foot, and
that would have been the last Of the
dog In a later century he would
still have had sword, dagger, or blum
derbuss, and IN any case the dog
would have been doomed. No one
would so much as have heard Of the
encounter. it would have been too
trivial even for the circumstantiaI
pen Of Mr.. Pepys.
But as it was, he had neither ar
NOR, lance. sword, spear, javelin, dag
ger, blunderbuss, cutIass. rifle, or re-
yolver, and the dog had two rows Of
sharp, white teeth and the disposition
to use them. There have been heroes
Of romance blessed with mighty fists.
and they would have hit the dog one
blow on the head and broken his skull,
but the average modern nan Is rot
trained to be a -prizefghter. Clearly
there was nothing to do huj run, or
stay and catch hydrophobia So Gen
eral Corbin took to his heels. But the
question is, could Orlando Furioso
have done any better if he had met a
yellow dog in the street, with nothing
but his bare hands with which to de-
fend himself?

WOMEN INSPECTORS I'M
IMMIGRATION SERVICE
Action in Their Case Will Probably Be
Deferred Until President Returns.

The experiment of women inspectors
in the immigration service has been
voted Z failure by immigration commits
sioners of several cities, who met at
Ellis Island The meeting of commits
sioners was for the purpose of deciding
on uniform way OF handling the "a
rious measures of the new immigration
law, and to discuss the law generally.
In view of the attitude OF leniency
adopted by Secretary Shaw and Presi-
dent Roosevelt toward the women in
spectors, it is certain that the decision
of the commissioners at Ellis Island will
have little effect upon the future OF wo-
men as inspectors
It is believed generally that no ac-
tion Will be taken by the immigration
Bureau until the return of President
Roosevelt from the West. If the women
gain this time it is likely they viii lie
able TO pass the civil service examina-
ton required Of them.

A New Treasury Of Thought.
Contained in Governor OdeIPs Recent
Speech in St. Louis.

An astomshed reader Of the New
York Sun" asks why any college or
other institution of learning and phi
losophy should be searching around
for a president who is a thoughtful
thinker, when so profound a genius in
history and economies and literary ex-
preston as the Hon. Benjamin B.
Odell, jr-, governor of New York, is
III the field. The query is suggested
by perusal of the governors St.
Louis address, which, we are bound to
confess, resembles in style and diction
similar efforts of a distinguished
though not an immediate predecessor
of AIR. OdeIl in the executive man
SIGN at Albany. There must be some
lining about the air Of central New
York which predisposes statesmen to
become heavy in thought and platitu-
dinous in expression Or, maybe,
Governor Odell was infected with "a
germ left about the premises by his
distinguished predecessor, which was
mean enough to attack him for the
purpose of proving that it had not
fallen into "innocuous desuetude."
However that may be, here are
some gems from this new Treasury
Of Thought" given to the world by the
Hon Benjamin B. Odell, jr:
The future is before US"
A patriotic people is possible only
where there exists love of country"
'.The greatest solvent for political
heresies is education"
Success will always follow perse-
verance'
promise without fulfllment is al
ways barren"
We haven't the space to give
further samples of the governors
mental output, but the foregoing will
Go. He is evidently destined TO take
Ligh rank in the school Of ''Proverbial
Philosophy" amid coryphees ike
Topper and Cleveland. As thought
fnl thinker" he is a bowling success
As the president of a "brainery" his
influence in developing mystery and
obfuscation among the rising genera
ton would be paramount. He might
even be successfully employed to edit
the Congressional Record"

The Field of Politics
Caldwell as scott's Successor.

However much the friends and ad-
mirers of the Hon. Nathan Bay Scott
may regret the fact there are evidences
strong in character which lead to the
conclusion that the political days of the
junior Senator from the Mountain State
are numbered, and that the last day is
March 4, 1905, when his term will ex-
pire. Senator Scott is, of course,
candidate TO succeed himself. but those
who are familiar with the trend of po-
litical events in the State declare the
chances are decidedly against him.
There are already at least three avow-
ed candidates opposing his return to
the Senate, and each is making fight
for the honor himself. There are the
Hon James l. Caldwell, a prominent
banker of Huntington, Henry Schmul-
bach, a wealthy brewer of Wheeling, and
George ". Curtin. millionaire lum-
herman and son of the war governor of
Pennsylvania Just at present, Mr.. Cald-
well seems to be in the lead. for he has
a number of advantages in his favor. In
the first place he IS native OF the
State, while none of the others is. Sen
ator Scott is an Ohioan- Mr.. Schmul-
bach is a German, and Mr.. Curtin emf
grated TO West Virginia from Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Caldwell has never held
public office, although he has always
taken an active interest in politics. and
given his party valuable assistance in
the various campaigns during the past
ten years which have made West Vir-
ginia seemingly a Republican State for
a long time to come. There is strong
feeling in the lower part of the State,
the part more nearly south OF the Lit
tie Kanawha River-that that section
is entitled to one of the two Senator.
AT present both of the West Virginia
members come from the upper portion
of the State. Senator Scott from Wheel
ing in the Pan Handle end, and Sena-
tor EIkins from the town of Elkins
named in his honor. Not since the days
of John Kenna has the region south
of the Little Kanawha been allowed to
elect a United States Senator 1t is N
this division Of the State that Hunting
ton. the home Of Mr.. Caldwell. is locat-
ed and on this account a strong fight
viii be made for his election. Mr. Cali-
well is a civil war veteran with a good
record. While the Caldwell forces are
working diligently even at this early
stage OF the campaign, the other candi-
dates are doing much hustling, and the
fight promises TO be highly interesting

hIDDIES FROM PERU
FOR AMERICAN NAVY
Selected by Marine Minister to Serve
Under United States Officers.

Manuel Alvarez Calderon. the Peruvian
minister, has received information from
his government that six midshipmen
from the Peruvian naval school have
started for this country 10 enter the
United States Navy. but has not yet
been advised as to the names OF the
fortunate young men. There were twelve
graduates this year. and as Peru does
not maintain a navy the government al
ways endeavors to place them in the SER
vice of some foreign country which can
afford them advanced training.
THE selection of those who have al
ready started for the United States rest
ed with the minister of marine, Admiral
Viilayicencio," said Minister Calderon
today These young men were given
their course in naval strategy at CaIIao,
where the school is located. on board an
old war vessel, no longer in active SER
vice. Six officers who graduated in 1901
were placed in the Argentine navy. and
are serving there now. Others. in years
past, have sailed under the flag of Eng
land, Italy, or France. The Peruvian
navy consists of coast defense ships ex-
clusively; the government seeks the OPP
portunity of having its officers see SER
vice elsewhere on some of the great
men-of-war Of other nations. l am sure
the young midshipmen on their way 10
this country Will consider themselves
most fortunate in having the opportunity
and privilege Of serving under the
American flag"

Gated in the counsel recently given the
little Central American Republic by
ex-President Regelado. General Re
gelado recognizes the uselessness of
attempting to repudiate the verdict Of
the arbitration board. And though
deploring that judgment, as "ren-
dered in absolute disregard Of the IL
lustrious opinion of Salvadors own
representative, Dr. Pacas," he still
advises its unconditional acceptance.
Let us" he says, ''hurl at the claim
ant little gold with the contemptu-
Gus manner of one who is disposing
of something immaterial" And thus
Salvadorian consistency will be vim
dicated, and Salvadorian honor will
be saved.
Eventually, we feel confident, Gen
eral Regelado's counsel will be fol
lowed, though we scarcely think that
the Salvadorian secretary of state Will
fill an old stocking with gold coins
enough to pay the claim and then
''hurl" it at Minister Merry's head.
Yet the United States can afford TO be
generous and tolerant in col
Letting an unimpeachable internation-
al claim. Except in the last extremi-
ty we do not want to lend the weight
of our example to the practice of col
Letting debts from our defenseless
Southern neighbors through pacific
blockades" or other similar processes
based on the mere right of force.
