the Yukon with $50 passengers each.
They may not be able to proceed more

FROM the Philadelphia Record.
Mr. Byrne, District Attorney of

even by the President. III in the fu-
ture," he says q feel II my duty to
follow the trail OF political activity, ]

as l do, | shall first resign office before

thirst for office could stop me from ad-
vocating the reelection OF the Presi-
dent"
II is heroically spoken. Knowing
the President as he does, Mr. Byrne
win resign before he goes into another
political campaign because he knows
that after IL IS over he will be re-ap-
pointed. The Presidents SETTLED pol

EDITORIAL OPINION
The KishinsH Petition.

From the New York Tribune.
The Independent Order B'nai Birth,
the powerful Jewish organization which
did much toward the relief OF the Jews
i'm Rumania, deserves credit for its well
planned and dignihed action in the
kishinen matter. A petition from them
or from any other body to the Car in
behalf of the Jews in Russia would
probably receive slight attention. but
coming TO the Russian Government
through the President Of the United
States, as the members OF the order now
know that their petition will, II can
not be cast aside without consideration
and il may be fruitful of remedial re-
suits.
The present administration showed
its willingness to aid the rersecuted
Jews Of Rumania. and its action IN the
present instance is further proof OF q
desire on the part OF the President I,
do his share toward securing for tn,
people Of other lands the blessings OF
religious liberty. Of which American.
know the fuu value.

The Rev. r. A. Elwood while down
town yesterday afternoon. had an un-
pleasant experience with photogra-
phers, but I'm the end ne eluded them.
Mr.. Elwood was seen coming down
Market street and two men with big
cameras unfolded, that were getting
pictures for Philadelphia papers in
connection with the lynching. spled
him. lie turned up Ninth and got in
the postoifice before they caught up to
him. When he came out they asked
IL he would pose. lie declined, and
much to his discontinue the men with
the cameras got on either side of him
and started down Market street
The trio was the cynosure OF al eyes.
People stopped and looked at the min
lister walking between the photogra-
piers. At Jones' ice cream saloon the
pastor darted in, but only remained a
moment. The men were waiting for
him, and as he stepped out of the door
snapped their instruments at him. but
the day WAS dark and they were afraid
their pictures would not be good, so
took up the chase this time going in
the street along the curb. ana trying
to get ahead so that they coud get a
front view. The willy parson was on
TO their movements but just as they
were about TO flank him he lodged
into the wall paper store of Moystin &
Brown, at No S31 Market street. The
men, thinking It would be repetition
.of the former stop fixed themselves
and their cameras on the curb directly
In front of the door, expecting to get
a good picture. In this they were dis
appointed, as the pastor did not come

their glances into the store becoming
more apprehensive as time went on

A WARNING TO BYRNE.

William Michael Byrne, United states
District Attorney for Delaware. has just
made unbli1 letter from President
Roosevelt, written at the time OF MIR.
Byrne's appointment. 1t win be found
In another column. We notice that he
gives Mr.. Byrne some sound advice; he
must keep out OF factional politics, he
must be faithful ana dnigent; in the
performance Of his duties he must know
neither Democrat. Addickslte or Regu-
lar; he must make record as the best
District Attorney that ever filled the
office.
That is good advice, but why was
It necessary? Not TO scrutinize the
Presidents motive too closely. why
should he have deemed it proper to
warn Mr. Byrne on these points? or,
perhaps the question should be: why
should any man selected for so ir:-
portant an office receive the injunction
to do his plain duty? we think that un-
Ati liAAilNA AAAtulilhtdHAtN lew lAti
would be pleased to receive such a let
ter even from the Pres dent OF the
United States. II occurs TO us that
usually man is selected for a RESPONSE
BILE post like this who is known to pos
scss all the qualities that the President
insists uoon.
But to be just to Mr. Byrne, let us
say that he has followed rather closely
the Presidents injunction. IEa has not
taken any considerable part in factional
politics since his appointment, and he
has devoted the talents that he pos
sesses in a large measure, to the dis
charge Of his official duties. There is
reason for the belief that. following the
injunctions Of the President, Mr.. Byrne
has been better pleased with himself
and has been more faithful to the in
stlncts OF the truer MIR. Byrne.
