CAN'T WIN WITH ROOSEVELT.

The leading Republican newspaper
of Cincinnati has come out in a strong
editorial in which the position is taken
that the Republican party cant win
Roosevelt at the head of the ticket,
and the editorial has created wide
spread comment among the politicians
OF Washington.
The editorial expresses the fear that
Mr.. Roosevelt will lose New York and
takes the ground that the Republican
party demands a leader who can carry
New York state. The editorial suS-
gests the names of several equal to car
Hanna Foraker, Hale, Frye, Hoaf,
s.oner, Allison and Speaker Can
non. The editorial says in part:
I'm the words of the immortal Lin
coin, With malace toward none with
charity for all, with firmness in the
right simply and solely to advance the
interests of the party and to keep 1T
upon the broad road of success; fof
the sake II the millions of voters who
OF their principles in the Republic and
Who have Loyalty supported the noml-
nees of the party, We call upon our
leaders throughout the union to awake,
to arouse themselves and to prepare
for the closely contested conflict that
will be waged next year.They awe it
to the Republican party to do this.
They owe it to themselves to see that
no mistate is made, no chances taken
that will invite defeat.
The editorial recites briefly the in
dependent sentiments which Charles
Summer. Thaddeas Stevens, b II Wade
Oliver p. Morton and others rendered
to the party by their outspoken loyal
ty to the people, continuing in this
vein:
Surely there are men Ia tnc RepUh
lcan party today as faithful and sim
cere as th,se who have gone before.
why are they silent III this time
OF danger?
DO they not hear the =mUrmurs OF
party discontent III New York, in
Rhode Island. in Massachusetts. in
Indiana in Kentucky. in tie south and
in the west?
DO they not kA4w of tAe steadily
growing Republican anNie4y as q the
result of the presidential election and
the fear for New York and other
states?
"lf the leaders forget, the vtters Will
remember the relief in the New York
delegation when Mr., Roosevelt was
transferred from the theater of state
politics to the broader and stronger
structure of the national stage
AS this editorial is by a friend of
Mark Hanna and is coupled With the
fact that the latter declines to serve
as national chairman. its appearance at
this time is considered especially sig
nificant
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1903-12-10

Roosevelt would ignore the serious
charge made against Gen. Wood by
Mai Runcie and Gen. Brooke, but
Senator Hanna and other Republican
senators realize that the Republican
party will be held responsible for so
glarng case of whtewash and they
are inclined to give Wood the bounce.

Washington Not an Unhealthy City.

To the Edito; of The Evening Star:
In yesterdays Star (second page, first
column) a statement is reported which,
left unexplained. does great injustice to
the sanitary condition of Washington city.
It reads: "Of the forty largest cities in the
United States, this city has the largest
death rate" Now, as there are few sub
jects Of wider human interest than the
comparative healthfulness Of our cities as
places Of residence, permit me to set this
matter In it's true light. The figures of
the last census, giving the annual death
rate Of Washington at 22.s in 1000 inhab-
itants, are misleading when compared with
other cities having very few colored people
in their population. To get at a fair COM
parison, 1t is needful to take into account
the relative mortality Of white and colored
residents, as against that OF the two races
in other cities. Here are the actual statis-
census figures the percentage Of negro in
habitants and Of comparative mortality,
which any reader can verify for himself.

MEETING OF SONS.
Descendants Of Revolutionary Patriots
Hold Business Session.

1O1O BUSINESS session.
meeting of the Sons of the American
Revolution was held last night at Rau-
schers. during the course OF which much
important business was disposed of. The
proposition to hold reception and dance
in honor Of the wives and daughters OF
the members was discussed at length. "A
committee. headed by Mr.. Wallace D. Me-
Lean. the secretary Of the local society.
was appointed to take charge of the ar
rangements and to act as the floor COM
mittee. The dance will be given January
co. The COMMITTEES appointed included
forty of the younger members of the So
ciety.
The society was reported to be rapidly
growing as was attested by the report of
the registrar last night. The report showed
that sixty-one new members have been
received during the past year. bringing up
the total membership in the society to SO.
The address of the evening was delivered
BY Mr.. James T. Dubois. Mr. Dubois
spoke Of the Star Spangied Banner" and
deplored the general ignorance of the words
OF the song. He said. he made q wager of
500 at the last general congress Of the
Sons in New Haven that not Is per cent Of
the delegates present could sing the song
through. The delegates endeavored during
the greater part Of the night that followed

These figures tell their own story. The
heavier mortality OF the negro race has
long been familiar fact. While the bet
ter born and bred OF that element In our
urban population may equal the whites in
to unexampled early mortality. Their
crowded dwellings and unwhoIesome hab-
Its OF living cause them to die on rapidly.
The hideous facts lately brought to light
concerning the noisome alley tenenents In

lures In every stage OF poverty and sQua-
Tor, should move our congressional rulers

share Of its population, Is quite as healthy
as most OF our large citaes.

STRANGE DEATHS AT SEA
Mysterious Happenings on the An
chor Line Steamer Karaman-
las Last Voyage.

New York, March 10.-The Anchor line
steamer Karamania, from Marseilles, Pal
ermo and Naples, was detained at quar-
antine to-day because a number of the
crew and passengers died under peculiar
circumstances on the voyage. Six died in
all, two of the crew and four steerage pas
sengers. All were taken with the same
symptoms, cramps, nausea and collapse.
1t is thought they were poisoned by
some noxicus gas enanating from the
cargo. On Feb. while the Karamania
was steaming. from Marseilles for Pal
ermo four of the crew were suddenly taken
i'll with nausea and spasms Two died,
one recovered and the other was sent
ashore at Palermo to the hospital where
the doctor said the men were poisoned.
Two days after sailing from Naples an
other sailor who slept in the room where
the others were taken i'll was found in a
stupor. On being restored he said he had
suffered with the same symptoms of nau-
sea. A number of others in the same
room feeling ill, ran on deck and soon re-
covered. The compartment was then
stripped, disinfected and closed. Feb. p
a passenger was sent to the hospital sllf-
fering from stomach trouble and on
March 1 two other passengers were
| stricken suddenly and died within few
| hours. The next day, March ., the pas
| senger in the hospital died and another
passenger was found dead in his bunk
All the dead passengers had occupied ad-
joining hunks in No. steerage. They
were buried at sea-, H.

INSPECTED AT THE MILLS
Late Action of Pacific Coast Manu-
facturers Cuts Out San
Francisco.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. 4..
Tacoma, Wash, March 10.-The most
important move ever started for the pro-
lection and the general benefit of the lum-
bering business Of the northwest, was
taken at a meeting Of the cargo COM
mittee of the Pacific Coast. Lumber Man.
ufacturers' association.
The meeting resulted in the appoint
ment of the Pacific Coast Lumber In
spection bureau. It means that here
after the lumber of all the mills OF the
northwest will be inspected at the mills
instead Of being forced to undergo in
spection at San Francisco.
For twenty years the lumber Of this
section has been inspected at the Cali
fornia city. Often thousands of feet o1
lumber were rejected there and could be
sold for fire wood. There were instances
where the lumber was wrongfully re-
jected, simply because there was jeal'
ousy between the Sound country and Sar
Francisco. Hereafter that trouble viii
be done away with. Washington, Oregon
and British Columbia lumber Will b'
passed at the mills where it is made.
The new plan will benefit the pro
ducer as we'll as the buyer. At presen
the bureau inspection takes only the for
eign and coastwise trade, but eventual.
it will be applied to the eastern ship
ments as we'll. This may come within
the next few months.
