 How Mir. Roosevelt with his past record as a civil service reformer, and his pro- fession of purity in politics, can become an ally of Addicks, is a question for his low politics the President sacrifices reputation which he gained as reformer in New York on the police commission and as a member of the civil service com mission-a reputation, by the way. which vice-Presidency than his constructive charge up San Juan.
 Roosevelt affords one more example of the result of raising vain and ambitious man to high position. He made some deserved reputation as fearless reform CT while serving on the two commissions referred to by The News and if he had never reached any higher position than those he might have maintained or re- tained his standing, but 1t is plain that he has been advanced by circumstances until he Is beyond his deserts and has lost his equilibrium. His spectacular performances in Cuba-services which were distanced on a thousand battlefelds during the war between the States by men who were hardly heard of after wards-made him Governor of New York. The fear of his growing popularity caus- ed leading Republican politicians to make him vice-President as a means of getting him out of the way. The cruel, unfortu- ate and deplored fate which guided the sassin's bullet made him President This swift succession of events. fortun- ate for him, but unfortunate for the country, has placed Roosevelt in a posi- ton far beyond his deserts and far above
 his capacity. No President has more
 grievousiy disappointed his friends in
 many ways than he has, No man occu-
 pying high place has more surely des-
 cended to the level of the low politicians.
 Uttering the most lofty and patriotic
 sentiments in his speeches and writings
 he becomes in practice the hand-in- glove
 coadjutor of some of the most disreputa-
 condemns vice and crookedness in public
 utterances and winks at or condones 1t
 in private. He is sacrificing his own
 reputation and the respect of many of
 his former friends on the low altar of per-
 sonal ambition. The man with a pull is
 his best friend, and his counsellors are
 those who can best help him to retain
 place. Roosevelt is developing into a
 machine politician.

Chairman Burton Returns Witl
 Much Information.
 With

Berlin. Sept. s.-The Prussian Cabinet
 has decided to again propose to the Land- tag the construction of a cross country canal to connect the Rhine, Weiser and Elbe. thus completing the Emperors pro- posed system of international waterways.
 Congressman Burton, Chairman of the Rivers and Harbors Committee of the House. who has returned here from his inquiry into the river and harbor im- provements in eastern and southeast Eu- rope, says this Is the only canal project seriously considered in Europe that com- pares in expense to the proposed Erie canal Improvements. The Rhine -Elba canal was estimated to cost $60,000,000, though 1t is now thought it will cost con- siderably more. MT. Burton. who is ac- conpanied by Major F. Mahan, United States Engineer Corps, retired. and his secretary. MT. Floyd, was received most courteously in the countries through which he passed. Russia provided Gov. ernment steamers for his transportation and Professor Viminoff and other engi- neers went with Mir. Burton and his par ty on the Volga from Tyer to Tsaritzin. 1,66o miles. MT. Burton spent eleven days on the Folga and then visited the Black Sea harbors, the Danube and the upper Elbe
 Speaking of his investigations. which were begun early in June, he said:
 We found illustrations throwing light upon almost every proposition in the river and harbor works of the United States. Everywhere in Europe there is a disposition to make increased use of the inland waterways, whether rivers or ca- nals. The value of this means of trans portation is coming to be realized more end more. In France and Germany and portions of Russia the quantity of freight carried by water is increasing more than that carried by rail. It would seem that Europe affords better oportunitiees than America to study the proper relation be- tween railway and waterway transporta- tion because frequently a state which is improving its rivers and building canals also owns the railways. But for various reasons. the field is not much better"
 Mir. Burton will visit the lower Eibe near Hamburg and the canals of North ern France before going home

APPEALS AND yuRrrs.

Referring to some recent criticisms of The Advertiser on Justice Brewers posi- ton regarding appeals from jury trials, The Chattanooga Times says:
 The only thing in favor of Justice Brew CTS contention is that if the right of ap- peal were taken away from the accused in criminal cases. 1t wouldn't be long until -'trial by jury" would be either to guarantee in some measure, just. fair and evenhanded verdicts. something under present conditions very doubtful.
 We do not consider that any argument in favor of Justice Brewers position. We think 1t useless to argue as to the abolition of jury trials, because we do not think that is likely to be done. To change the Federal and the State Con- stitutions so as to abolish jures is job that The Times will hardly ever see done.
 And just how our jury system can be SO changed as to give assurance of flair and evenhanded verdicts" Is what We are unable to see. Every jury will have on 1t some men who are we'll qualified for their duties, as it will have some who have little or no qualifications, and for this condition of affairs we confess that we fail to see the remedy, unless the time shall come when all men will be in telligent, educated and honest. For un- just and unfair verdicts the only relief lies in appeals to a higher and more in telligent tribunal than the average jury is. That appeals are too often granted is true, and there Is where there is good room for improvement. Appeals are not always defensible, but jury trials will go on, nevertheless.

MANY STARTLING BUMoRs.
Consuls at Salonica Are Asking for
 War Ships.

1 London. Sept. 10.-Except that the con- suls in Salonica are again asking for the protection of warships, there is little direct news this morning from the seat of the Macedonian troubles, but there is | a plentiful crop of startling statements, | impossible either to confirm or to deny. Among the latter Is the assertion made in I Sofia dispatch to Secole of Milan to the effect that 1t has been decided to
 mobo.ize the Bulgarian army. This is contrary to the avowed policy of the Bulgarian government. but cannot be re- garded as unlikely with Turkish troops concentrated at Goektepe, five miles from the Bulgarian frontier.
 In Paris there is a persistent rumor that M Constans, French Ambassador at Constantinople, intends to resign as a protest against the apathy shown by his government.
 According to a Sofia dispatch to The Daily Express, the British agent there has already advised Bulgaria that Great Britain insists that she prevent the pas- sage of bands into Macedonia.
 Little credence Is attached to the story published in the Vienna Die Zeit that Turkish troops have been ordered to cross the Bulgaria frontier. Count Goluch- owski, the Austrian Chancellor. had a long conference with Emperor Francis sooSph dt ouudpCSI yoSlerudy anu COm- mon diplomatic action by the powers against Bulgaria is again said to be in preparation.
 The Italian fleet Is held in readiness at Sicily so that 1t could reach Turkish waters within forty-eight hours, but Italy will not take any action except in accord with the powers.
 The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Varna retterates the determination on the part of the Bulgarian Government to hin- der every manifestation likely to lead to war. He adds that Prince Ferdinand Is in daily receipt of menacing letters, and as a result the palace is strongly guarded. The locks have been changed on the doors, and all persons desiring ad- mittance are strictly scrutinized
 The Associated Press learns from Phil ippopolis that the Macedonian commit tee Is actively organizing new reyolu- tionary bands, of which one hundred and seventy have been formed in Eastern Roumelia and Macedonia since Boris Sa- rafof assumed the direction of the Ad- rianople committee. The leaders of the bands during the last six months have imported 190 Kilograms of dynamite mostly from Austria, together with large stores of rifles. which have all been warehoused in the subur bs of PhiIippopl s.
 From Vienna 1t is reported that Bulga- ria Is trying to contract in Hungary for 100000 Mannlicher cartridges.
 The Porte has appointed several com- mssioners in the vilayet of Monastir to restore plundered property to its own CTS.
