New Fire Engine Arrives
In Time to Save Village,

A new fire engine just purchased by
the council of the village of Ridge
way saved that town from the most
damaging fire in it's history Thursday
night. The engine had just arrived
on an evening train and the council
was in session, trying to arrive at a
conclusion as to whether to accept
and pay for the fire fighting appar-
atus, when the cry of fire broke up
the meeting, and soon nearly every
resident in the city was on the main
street, where a large unoccupied
building located in the central part
of the city was a mass of flames
The FIRE spread rapidly to surround
ing buildings, but after two hours of
hard work with the new engine, the
flames were put under control, The
loss will reach quite large gum and
Is only partly covered by insurance.
The fire is thought to be of incenr
diary origin, as the building first
burned belonged to a saloonkeeper
against whom there is a rather bitter
feeling, and twice before in few
months damaging fires have occurred
on his various properties.

them within the law. Napoleor in
trodufed fiew tactics Tito the wars of
the world. he fought in many
places almost simultaneously. His
energy and ubiquity turned thrones
upside down. Roosevelt is never
weary, and is never absent when he
has something to do. As Europe
trembled at the tread of the armies
of France, so the trusts which are
needless of the law and the public in
terest fear Roosevelt, and fearing
him, will trick him and the country
if they can.
"In the long rum" so Theodore
Roosevelt has said, politics of fraud
and treachery are impractical poll
tics. The most practical of all poll
ticians Is he who is clean and decent
and upr, r,ght."
The President is worthy. Through
out his remarkable career he has
been consistent. He has never fail
ed his State or country. He has
never been soft-spoken or silent
when it was his duty to talk. Hon,
est, splendidly and agressively hon
est. fearless and righteous in act
and thought, he gives luster to the
presidency and fills the heart of maj
with hope. b. Morrow in Cleve

Some Of the Things
Theodore Roosevelt, Believes

In the Presbyterian church at
Oyster Bay, some two years ago,
Theodore Roosevelt gave to the
world his understanding of human OBJ
legation to civilized society. 'If we
read the Bible Alright" he said, I'VE
read book which teaches us to go
forth and do the work of the Lord: to
do the work of the Lord in the world
as we find it; to try to make things
better in this world, even if only a
little better, because we have lived
in it. That kind of work can only be
done by the man that is neitherl a
weakling nor coward; by the man
who in the fullest sense of the word
is true Christian, like Great Heart,
Bunyan's hero. We plead for a
closer and wider and deeper study of
the Bible, so that our people may be
in fact as well as in theory 'doers of
the Word and not hearers only"
All along Theodore Roosevelt has
striven to live up to his own preach
ing. Twenty-Five years ago he went
into a primary election in his own
ward in New York. Twelve months
thereafter he was in the Legislature.
Men smiled to see young gentleman
of family and some wealth in prac-
tical politics. In two months he led
his party in the State House at Al
bany. He fought corruption in pub
lie Office, the trickery of partisan
politics and the spoils system. Like
a whirlwind he swept upon iniquity
wherever he found it. He didn't
preach then; he battled- The smiles
of politicians faded away and dismay
and disgust came instead. He could
MT be reelected, so they said, but he
was. He confessed that he was a
party man, but when his conscience
rebelled he went with it, no matter
where It led. Thus guided he grew
in the esteem of his party, grew by
force of his own integrity and the
fruits of his own achievements. He
took stand against Blaine's nomina-
tion in 1854 upon the simple question
of worth and rectitude. He was
making steady strides to the front as
a wholesome influence in public life.
Beaten for mayor of New York he
said: Anyway, 1 have had a bully
time" Then he journeyed to his
ranch and shot mountain lions. Some
books were written later. AS pres:-
dent of the Civil Service Commission
here in Warrington he toiled night
and day to uproot the spoils system
of distributing public Offices. As
police commissioner in New York he
closed the balloons on Sunday and
stopped blackmail in the police de-
partment. II lave sworn to enforce
the laws" he said. II shall do nv
duty. If the laws are bad repeal
them

The Lady or the TIGER?

The victory of Tammany in New
York City is an event of more than
local significance. 1t may be called
a national calamity, 1t is also a
national object lesson.
1t shows the great difficulty, under
present conditions. of getting and
keeping decent municipal govern
ment in oar large cities. The good
men will be at an undue disadvantage
as long as they have to go to the bal
lot box without their natural allies,
the good women.
A New York Daily paper, which is
opposed to Tammany but also opposed
to equal suffrage asked Just before the
election, "On which side are all the
forces that make for righteousness
1t enumerated these forces. and
named among them the good women.
ION which side," it asked, ''are the
good women?- There is no doubt on
which side they were, but in the cleo
tion they were not counted.
Mrs. Frederick Nathan, president
of the National Consumers League,
who believed in equal suffrage, said
at a recent anti-Tammy meeting,
''The hero of Stockton's story did not
know behind which door he should
find the lady, but the voters of New
York know perfectly well beforehand
behind which door stands the lady,
and behind which the tiger; If wo-
men had had the ballot, Tammany
would not have returned to power.
The result of the election is deeply
to be regretted for the sake of New
York, but it ought to bring a great
increase of membership to the Equal
Suffrage Association.

THINGS THE PROFESSIONAL POL

STAND

Professional politicians can't tell
why the people keep on electing
Roosevelt to office. He rejects all
the precedents in party strategy and
practice. He snaps his fingers at
the rules of campaign managers. He
laughs at timidity and scorns dem
agogy. He just follows his con-
science, and the poll books contain
the history of his triumphs. Elected
Governor of New York he caused to
be laid on corporations an equitable
tax on franchises. And so the cor
porations Joined the other lawbreak-
ers in the hunt for his political life
and fortune. He went to Philadel-
phia in 1900 the Governor of New

togo before the voters of New York
on his record and ask to be again

hesitated in Philadelphia, why it
seemed that he was vacillating, be-
ing willing to go upon the ticket
with Mckinley. Under pressure he
yielded. Mckinley saw the situation
from Washington. and telegraphed
friends to withdraw all opposition
to Roosevelt. That telegram saved
Mckinley managers from defeat.
