landslide that would rob the summit OF
Mount Rainier of any considerable mass OF
rock would certainly be so notable an event as
to deserve attention. Peculiar scepticism is
justified when a story Of that sort Is told about
a volcano. Where stratihed formations have
been tilted UP almost vertically. and one layer
has separated from another. it is easy to un-
derstand how such things can happen. But
Rainier Is not built that plan. Little be-
sides ice could be loosened from its slopes
Dispatches which minimize the proportions OF
the reported accident there. therefore, were
naturally to be expected.

ROOSEVELT
DENOUNCED

Albany N. Y, April s.-President
Roosevelt in his official capacity as
governor of the state OF New York.
came in for a sound berating by former
United States Senator David B. Hill
during his argument as counsel for the
corporations IN the special franchise
tax case before the court OF appeals.
MT. Hill attacked President Roose-
welt for his course as governor of this
state with reference to the passage OF
the special franchise tax law. He en-
phatically denied that the corporations
were responsible for the alleged un-
constitutional features of the law. de
claring that Governor Roosevelt him
self recommended them in so many
words.
Governor Roosevelt he characterized
rs q man of very limited experience
IN the administration of state affairs,
and he accused him of forcing the
special franchise tax law upon the
legislature as "a political expedient'
At the behest of certain minor. semi
political. and largely socialistic or
ganizations - self-constituted, IRE
sponsible and noisy associations, most
ly of non-taxpayers, assuming a mo-
nopoly of the championship of the
peoples alleged rights"
The bill, Senator Hill declared, was
rushed through the legislature in three
days and signed by Governor Roose
welt without a hearing on the next
day thereafter-"the product of haste
lclieness and undue clamor."
The court made no comment upon
Senator Hills attacks upon the for
mer governor. who is now president Of
the United States.
Governor Roosevelt needs no de
fense at my hands," said the attorney
general. "If he did nothing else thar
take the initiative steps which VII
place these enormous values IN such
relation TO the tax law that they vii
bear their share with the owners o
cottages. business enterprises and
other property now the subject of tax
alton, he would have deserved the
promotion with which he has beer
rewarded"

From the New York Tribune.
There is a serious side, other than the
personal one, to the case OF the woman
who has just been turned away from six
teen flats or apartment houses In success
sion on account OF her having four chill
dren. As she suggests, her experience is a
common one. Desirable apartments on
every hand are open to none but adults;
not an, Of course, but a considerable pro-
portion OF them. Families containing
small children not wishing to go into
mere tenements and not able to take pri-
vate houses are often put TO Il TO nnd
apartments to which they will be admit
ted. The resuit-grotesque as 1t may APP
near to some-ls a distinct tendency to-
ward what has been termed race suicide.
The propagation OF children is discour-
AGED. It is literally true, as any inquirer
may ascertain, that many married. couples
refrain from becoming parents on this
very ground. SO long as they are childless
they can have their pick OF the most de-
sirabie apartments. II they have chil-
dren they must put up with such accom-
modations as they can get.
Another potent influence TO the same
disastrous end is found in the difficulty OF
geuang and keeping decent domestic help.
The servant girl problem" is a trying one
to most people. II Is by far the worst to
those who have given hostages to fortune
and TO Bridget. The chlldless couple car

ing and eat at restaurants or in hotel
Bat those wslo have children must keeI
house, and that means that after they
have found a housekeeping apartment
they must give their days to intenigenc,
Offices and their nights to Advertisements
they must suffer the slings and arrows OF
outrageous Bridget, or Dlnah, or Gret-
chen; and they must learn TO reckon them
selves as dust upon the kitchen floor and
as small dust beneath the feet OF IN,

wonder that, warned OF these things II

WISHING FOR CLEAR WEATHER
Merchants Say Rain is Interfering
With Their Spring Business.

Market street merchants are complain
ing Of the wet weather saying that IL j.
hurting business.
"It is making people slow i'm buying their
spring goods" said one business man this
morning Many think that because St has
been raining all the week il will rain on
Sunday and they are in no hurry to buy
tho little things needed.
should Il be clear on Saturday there
will be a rush and We will not be able TO
give the customers the attention we pre-
fer and could give them should the busi-
ness come to us gradually.
80 far, however. our sales have been
above what they were last year. Every
body seems to have money and we have
got our share OF that put in circulation. '
The market people had some complaint
to make about the rain this morning. The
crowd in the street markets was not Sc
large as usual. Florists who opened stores
on Market street are looking forward Gag
erly to fine weather.

EDITORIAL OPINION
In Old Kentucky.

From the Louisville Evening Post.
The Democratic orators are now active
ly canvassing this State in their efforts to
secure through means Of the Democratic
primary nominations for State Offices.
We note that the candidates express an
entire willingness to have the Democrats
who have left the party in the past few
years come back Internationally. They
are perfectly willing TO have the Inde-
pendent Democrats whom they have been
abusing vociferously cast their votes for
the Democratic candidates. They win not
ask any rccantation, bvt, on the other
hand they do not propose TO make any.
They simply say: Lot bygones be by
cones, and come up TO the support OF the
Democratic candidates in their efrorts TO
secure office hereafter"
We think these gentlemen misunder-
stand the influences which drove from the
party so large an element OF Democratic
voters. 1t must be that they misunder-
STOOD them in 1895. in 1895, in 1899, in 1900,
else they would not have been so bitter in
their denunciation, so unrestrained In
their abuse The English language was
exhausted in an effort to express fltly the
passionate resentment felt by Democratic
Geaders when they saw a large pant Of
the Democratic voters refusing to indorse
their sins OF omission and commission,
their policy OF vote suppression, their in
defensible contests against candidates Sc
leoted by the people.
We are sure, moreover, that these gen.
tlemen now who with honeyed words are
inviting the independents once more to re-
turn and swell the Democratic vote have
misunderstood the temper OF the inde-
pendent voters as they did formerly. Why
should Democrats return? To whom, 60
what shall they return? II there was any
reason for leaving tho party on the Goebel
law or on the Goebel campaign or on the
Goebel contest, why should Democrats re-
turn. The party has never yet repudi-
ated that law, that campaign, nor that
contest. The Democratic party IN Ken
lucky stands yet for all OF the offenses
against popular suffrage committed in
the past six or eight years by the Demo-
cratic organization. 1t is true that under
the influence OF popular Indignation some
features OF the Goebel law have been
changed but It is true that the Demo-
cratic party is as ready today as ever It
was to rifle the ballot-box, to intimidate
nhe voters, to falsify the returns, and
when all these devices fail, TO make a
contest for the offices before some packed
| Democratic tribunal.

JoHNsoN.s VICTORY

The reelection Of Tom johnson as
Mayor of Cleveland is generally re-
garded as in part a triumph over Sena-
tor Hanna, though no question OF ma
tional politics was really involved.
johnson is a demagogue OF the worst
type. but the people Of Cleveland evil
IDENTIFY preferred him to the domina-
ton OF Hanna For years the two men
have been bitter rivals. Hanna APP
peais to the moneyed interests, and
johnson makes grand stand plays to
the masses, although himself this
owner Of street car lines, he has been
the champion of three-cent fares, and
undoubtedly won his electioa on that
plank
The people have no great confidence
in the sincerity of johnson, but he is
playing the role Of the worlxingman S
friend and as long as he sticks to his
lines they win be satisfied. Hanna has
been regarded as invincible. and his
conduct OF two national campaigns is
pointed out as an evidence of that fac

He knew That the conductor would be

came an official who decided that a

fore 50 august a parsonage. Thus the
conductor was rebuled for doing his
duty, and a lesson has bem given to
other conductors to live up to the rules
in all cases, excepting only when q

has been given to other holders OF
passes that they need not obey the
rules Of the company unless they see

TIE ROAD Hoa

1t Is a tlyism, that men show their
character as truly in little things as
IN more important affairs. You
can't always tell the gentleman by his
expenditure OF money and public utter
ances, but watch the way he treats his
servants and other persons serving in
subordinate positions. and 1t is easy
to tell whether he is man OF refined
sensibilty and gentlemanly instincts,
CIR only a boor, self-centered and abb
sorbed is his own egousm.
The bully and the braggart, the man
who lacks bresdlng. rejoices in show

some subordinate 20 lbullyrag and hu-
initiate. Sudh man is especially OBJ

VERY PooR ARGuMENr

In this contest over the repeal OF the
Voters Assistant act thousand
tongues have proclaimed its real pur-
pose namely, that It puts in each cleo
tion booth two officials who are TO tally
the men who sell their votes. This
has not been denied. Indeed, Senator
Conner, the leader OF the Union Re-
publicans in the Senate, proclaimed
that its purpose is to soc that the goods
Iaid for are delivered. SO no further
argument on THAT point is needed.
But since the Union Republicans are
determined TO retain this Infamous law
If possible. It became necessary To
formulate some defense, and the result
Is an argument lame and impotent, as
1--WE SHALL see. We are told that with
the voters assistant wiped out the
Union Republicans would not be prop
erly represented in the election rooms.
the inference being that the election
offcers are either Regular Republicans
or Democrats. Now I'M Kent and Sus-
sex the Union Republicans have elect
ed a majority OF the inspectors, SO in
most instances they have the presid-
ing officer. AS far ais the judges and
clerks are concerned. while the law
gives the Republican party Judge and
a clork for each voting place, and the
Democrats the same, yet in practice In
as-least one-half OF the districts Union
Kcpnbll6afs. named for these of
fices. In certain instances the Union
Republicans have handed 10 the Regu-
lar Republicans a list OF Judges and
clerks they wished to have appointed,
and In part these lists have been fol-
lowed. SO we see that there is no
lack OF representation OF Union Re-
puiblicans as election officers.
But what has the question OF the
abolition OF the Voters Assistant law
TO do with representation on this cleo
ton boards? Tho assistant, aside from
helping The voter to mark his ballot
has absolutely no power. He cannot
