A STUDY.
The Personality of the President-Too Uniformly Successful

The Personality of the President-Too
 Uniformly Successful.
 Of life considered as opportunity The odore Roosevelt has made better use, rerhaps, than any other American Of his generation. He has done more than any other. and of what he has done most is approved by those standards which the ordinary morality of the race accepts So far. therefore, as our opln- ion of the man is determined by his work in life, the question is not or ms sIIccess--it is rather whether he has not been too uniformly successful. For eX-
 ,erience has brought many of us to feel that constant success implies con- stant compromise. and that sometimes it is more admirable to fail than to make any compromise whatever.
 Rut who of us that have done nothing can say honestly that of the opportunl- ties he has missed tithe were mlssed from any fear of doing wrong? Grant ed that this young Americans ideals of conduct have not been so nnfortu- nately high as some of ours, how many of us can say that we have stuck to ours half so steadfastly as he has stuck to his?
 s We should probably find better reason to ha discontented with our foremost American if we should consider those clements of his character which have the least to do with the struggle. Many of us feel, think, that for all this strength in the figure which we are so often called to gaze upon there is too little compensating grace. We find in RooseveIt's youth more of lustiness than of sweetness. in his manhood more of power than of stateliness. The en- tire spectacle of his life is not at all like that which the Greeks had in the life of Alcibiades, but neither is it like that which the English had in Sir Philip Sidneys. It is spectacle which draws dur spirits forth to work and adventure, but does not inspire us with any finer sympathies.
 This, perhaps, is all we should expect of man of action. But we cannot help remembering that there have been great men of action, conquerors and de- liverers and builders of states. who wrote their strength above a woman s
 
 tenderness, an artists sensibility whose career stirred their contemporaries to other things besides achievement. We need not go far back in time, or out of our own history, to find in the careers of men of action quality which Roose- welt lacks. We shall find such quality in Lincoln and in more than one other of our earlier American public men. We shall find it in men of the oId-fashioned broadcloth coats and the high-fown el- oquence and the provincial dignity, which seem to be disappearing along with the white houses with green blinds.
 It is not merely in his dress and bear ing and his mode of speech that Roose- welt is unlike those men whom his im- mediate predecessors in many respects resembled. He has brought into the higher walks of public life characteris- tics which city breeding and wealth and universities and foreign travel have in recent years made not uncommon in America, particularly in our eastern states, but which to great part of our

Met With An Accident.

DR.. John Ateheson is nursing pretty
sore hand these days as a result of an sc-
cident sustained while hunting in the VIC
unity of Edith lake few days ago. While
doing the Biondin stunt on a fallen log
for the amusement Of his companion,
Geo. Kimball, the log turned and threw
the performer TO the ground. In order
to save the gun which he vas carrying
the doctor grasped it firmly in his left
hand and this useful member was badly
lscerated, coming between the rough log
and the gun barrel. A splinter struck
the nail of the index finger, fairly carry
ing all Of the nail and part of the finger.
Report first had it that the physician had
been attacked and bitten by huge trout
while he was fishing in Edith lake. and
that it required the united strength of two
men to finally land the monster. The
fish was dragged to the shore and killed
with an ore. the fishermen having a mar
row escape from drowning when the boat
was overturned.

miner by the name of Artemus Hal,i-
day, employed as a trammer in the sun
and Moon mine by Contractor Clute,
met frightful death at an early hour
Monday morning while at work in the
tenth level of the mine about 800 feet
east of the main shaft. He was caught
by large piece of roof which crushed
him to the floor, death being instant
aneous,
ii. L. Webber. a fellow trammer was
the sole witness ofthe accident. The two
men were engaged in loading the last car
of the shift preparatory 10 going home,
and Webber turned TO take up shovel
of rock. the roof gave way aud buried his
companion under the debris. The unfor-
tunatc man gave but one eroan and life
passed from his body. Webber at once
ran his assistance and succeeded in pull
ing the body out from under the rock but
saw at once that life was extirct. He
then ran to the main shaft and signaled
the engineer who hoisted him to the sur
face. A rescuing party at once returned
to the scene OF the disaster and took the
body to the top OF the ground. Coroner
rrathen WAS notified and went at once to
the mine. A thorough examination of
the surroundings and testimony of wit
nesses convinced the officer that no one
was responsible for the accident and that
1t was one of those deplorable affairs that
seem to be unavoidable in mining. The
ground where the men were working had
been repeatedly examined BY the mine
management prior 10 the accident, aud it
was app ,rently as secure as any of the
workings. Coroner Trathen d, cided that
an inquest was Unnecessary
Among the effects of the deceased was
found the addr IS of Frank Halliday,
7fo Massachusetts Ave. Boston, and a
message of the coroner to that address
brought the request for the body 70 b
shipped TO Frank Halliday, Charlotte
town, Prince Edward Tslsnd, CanaAa.
which request was complied with Tlfas-
day afternoon.
Young Halliday came here some two
weeks ago from Coal Basin where he has
been timbering in the coal mines. and at
the time of his death was employed by
Contractor Clute. He was ~ v. afs of
age aud unmarried.
