THE PRESIDENT REaukEp.

BY refusing to recommend the approval
OF the appointment of William Byrne named
by the president for district attorney OF
Delaware, the senate judiciary committee
has delivered a deserved rebuke to the man
who poses as a purist in politics but who in
practice has lent himself completely to the
bosses.
Byrne was a candidate In the last No
vember elections and was defeated He Is
an advocate and exponent of Addlcke. the
notorious boss of Delaware, who has not yet
been able to corrupt quite enough voters
to have himself elected United States sen.
ator, the office to which he has aspired for
several years. In appointing Byrne the
president declared that 1t was a personal
matter, on account OF the candidates. merit,
and not designed as an Endorsement OF Ad-
dicks The senate committee takes another
view. 1t knows better. At least 1t knows
that Byrne means Addicks and tho public
will not doubt that the president knows
the same thing.
Mr.. Roosevelts pretense in this case might
have passed without suspicion If he had not
previously bent his neck to Plat and Quay,
the two most conspicuous examples of venal
politics that ever reached the United States
senate. with this record the senate com
mittee was not slow in discerning that the
appointment of Byrne was in effect a bid
for the Addicks influence in the next republic
an National convention.
The adverse report will be withheld fol
a few days to afford the president an OPP
portunity to withdraw the appointment But
the truth is out and the president is re
huked. The country understands 1t and the
president understands it.
The case is noteworthy, also, for exhibit
ing the breach between the president ant
the senate leaders. They know him fol
what he is as a presidential candidate anc
they will turn him down II they can.
1t is to be hoped that they will not quite
succeed. for he is the easiest mark for the
democrats to hit in 1904.

that he should withdraw his support from

war with the United States, so he withdrew

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Those who know" says the Waterbury Repub-
lican, declare that the by-produets OF petroleum
make the oil cost nothing to the Standard Oil
company. Hence the advance Of one or two
cents gallon is deliberate robbery after mag
niheent profit was assured. The people were in
desperate circumstances by the scarcity of coal
They turned to oil as a substitute and increased
the demand. The opportunity for putting on the
screws was too much for the manipulators to lose
and on they went TO the tune of 10000 900 more

Mr.. Andrew Mcconnell delivered speech in
Atlanta. Ga. recently, OF which the following is
an extract;
But will we never learn that the glory of our
manhood and the flower Of our womanhood are
too vital and precious to be given away while
we pay men and women of the North Of less
capacity and less adaptability to our needs big
salaries 10 do what our own people can do bet
ter, If we would only train them and keep them
at home. While we sending our best men
away for better opportunities the wisest North
ern men OF money and brains are coming here
They see what we do not that the South some
day will be the center OF the Western world
What basis of truth is there, asks the Charles

up the South from its ruins as the Southerners

To the Editor of The Post.
Hous1oN Texas, February 2-Your recent
editorial on the San Jacinto battle field must
touch a responsive chord in every patriotic heart
because it rings like a trumpet call to duty
The time has come and the people of Texas
have reached that point where delay in doing
honor TO those dauntless and immortal heroes
who hallowed the soil of San Jacinto by their
devotion and eonsecrated it with their blood
will not longer be submitted to without vehement
protest
When Governor Culberson DOUBTLESS prompted
by what he conceived to be the necessities Of the
situation at the tme) vetoed an appropriation
for improving and adorning the battle field his
action met reluctant approval, because many felt
that the condition Of the treasury scarcely war
ranted the appropriation, but conditions have
changed and the people know it.
Texas is abundantly able TO give all that
may be necessary to make of the battle field
place to which patriotic pilgrims will proudly
bend their steps to see the spot where Texan
valor won mighty odds the most decisive
victory ever won on this continent since Corn.
wallis surrendered the plains of Yorktown
II the people Of Texas want to prove to the
world that they worthy of the heritage of
| honor and glory of which they boast, they must
compel their representatives to give all that is
necessary to perpetuate the memory of the names
and deeds Of those who gave TO the battle field
OF San Jacinto undying glory and fadelcss fame
have an abiding faith in the patriotism and
love of country OF the members of the present
legislature and if that devoted band the Daugh-
