MIR. WATTERSON'S IDEA

SOUTH AMERICA DIVIDED.

England and Germany Wipe Out

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Feb. 15.-Col.
dinner given him by the Binghamton Press
Club, said:
Fifty years from to-day Germany will
bear the same relative position to the
United States that Holland does now.
Fifty years from to-day, unless the United
States places sustaining hands under John
Bulls arms, God knows what will become
of him.
1.-The Monroe doctrine and republcanism
are no longer on trial; it is monarchy that
States to-day has tenfold more power than
the King of England and the Emperor Of
Germany.
1T accordingly may be well for US to sit
down and see what the Monroe doctrine is
We have said that no European power shall
acquire territory on this continent.
'If we are going to protect every little
mongrel nation in order TO uphold the Mon
roe doctrine, why, let's pay Germany her
debt and tell her to get out. But IL we
start on this course we will need an en-

the Isthmus of Panama and blow out a

FOR ATTEMPTING FRAUD

RESTED BY POSTAL INSPECTORS.
Three Paper Concerns Planned to

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Postal Inspector
Cortelyou and Detective McNally, of Jer-

on an indictment by the grand jury for
grand larceny and obtaining money on false
pretenses. The complainant is John Kas-
ena, Of Hazeton, Pa
Six months ago the postal authorities at
Jersey City received several complaints
against the Consumers Distilling Company
and the Traders Surety Company, of Jer-
sey City, and A. B. Powell Company, Ho-
boken. 1t was alleged that the three com
panies were composed Of the same persons.
The Consumers Distilling Company sent
out agents, who represented that they had
large quantities Of whisky in bond in the
Hudson county warehouse, and were willing
to sell 1t at less than market rates. the
purchaser to pay one-third down, the bal
ance to be paid on the delivery of the
goods. The concern referred to the Trad
ers' Surety Company and the A. B. Powell
Company, both of which commended the
Consumers company.
A raid on the three concerns was planned
but the managers had taken fright and
fled. The Hudson county warehouse proved
to be a myth. All that remained was the
stock Of the A. B. Powell Company at Ho-
boken. This was seized, but instead Of
whisky It was found that all the barrels
and bottles were filled with water. Jacob

could not survive until morning. but during
the early morning hours he took turn for
the better and information given out at the
house was to the effect that the general

for the best, his family is prepared for a
fatal ending of his illness.

MISLEADING CHAMPIONSHIP.
There Is No Breach Between the
President and Congress.

Washington Post
A number of Republican papers which
pose as special champions of President
Roosevelt are persistently blundering i'm
their championships. 1t cannot be for the
interest of the President or his party to
represent him or the Republican leaders i'm
a false light, and there is not the slightest
reason to suspect him or them of promot-
ing or favoring such Misrepresentation.
The ideal situation would be absolute har-
mony between the President and the lead
ers of the dominant party in Congress
That would be quite possible without posi-
tive agreement on all questions of policy
All that Is requisite for harmony between
the executive and legislative departments
is mutual recognition of their respective
duties and responsibilities. The Post is not
ready to believe that this does not exist i'm
spite of the continued assertions of a con-
trary tenor by the superserviceable organs
One of the absurd assumptions of those
champions is that the American people de-
pend on the President for the enactment
of antitrust laws. Of course, the President
is not victim of that delusion. He knows
the part in legislation that the Constitution
assigns him. and is not likely to go beyond
its limits. But for more than six months
past those alleged organs of the admins
tration have represented a great conflict
in progress tho question of antitrust
legislation the President and the Republic
an masses on one side, the Republican lead
ers in Congress on the other. We are some
friendship which these organs profess for
the President Posing him as fighting
against the strong men of his party and
as insisting that his views shall dominate
legislation Is Just what might be done by a
cunning enemy in the disguise OF an ardent
friend. One of those organs referring to
the so-called Rockefeller kilograms. says
that. whether the trust agents and or
gans have committed the fatal blunder of
putting their principals forward upon the
records (Which We are not prepared to be-
lieve) to arm the President with the loath-
ing and disgust of his countrymen for his
foes as well their faith and trust I'm his
purpose and power TO fulfill their demand
the victory must be his just the same"
Have the Presidents countrymen demand
ed legislation at his hands? He knows
better, knows that he is not responsible
for what Congress does or fails To do:
knows that his part I'm promoting segisla-
ton IL limited to recommendation and ap-
proval. Faithful execution OF the laws is
the chief business of President. IL the
laws need amending II is his duty TO sug-
gest changes There his sphere of activity
in the legislative field ends.
In all probability President Roosevelt will
be the candidate of his party in the ap-
preaching campaign The statesmen with

stantly engaged In fierce conflict viii

three engines and baggage cars were badly
damaged. Aside from being severely
shaken up none of the passengers was
hurt.

that, owing to the difficulty of obtaining
the consent of the other powers or for

greatly attenuated since Count Lamsdorff
drafted them, is practically confirmed to-
night by the official Fremdenblatt, which
states that the demands are carefully
framed so as not to overstep the limits
prescribed by respect for the Sultan s
suzerain rights. and, that being confined
to comparatively modest bounds. they are
more likely to attain the desired end than
not, however, says the official organ, sue

tigation of the wreck on the Southern.
which occurred at Wavensworth, Va, early
this morning. when train No. 80. the New
York and Florida express, dashed into an
open switch, confirms the opinion that the
accident was of malicious origin. Mr. A
Gordon Jones, superintendent OF the Wash

track is known to have been in perfect
shape only a short time prior to tie wreck.
and that an investigation afterward shows
that the lock of the switch had been broken
and had been taken entirely away. He Is
more inclined to the belief that some enemy
OF the road desired to wreck the train and
that no robbery was intended.
