HANDS OFF.

| taxable moral of the elections is adj
dressed to the occupant of the White
| house. 1t reads, Hands Off" 1t is
clear rebuke to the interference of fed
eral authority in local political con-
tests. The two places where Demo-
cratic success was signal and complete
| beyond all expectation were just those
in which President Roosevelt was
known to be personally interested, and
| where he had called out criticism by
| expressing that interest in fashion
deemed unseemly in one holding his
high place.
The president took a hand in the
game in New York city and in Mary
land. In both cases the people told
him plainly that they would have none
of him. His advocacy of the cause Of
his friend Low, which was to be repaid
in kind by the latter next year, cost
that gentleman a handsome lot of votes.
And in Maryland, where Senator Cor
man has won very notable victory,
placing the state once more safely in
the Democratic column and vindicating
his splendid generalship, he was aided
by the offensive interference of the
president in the interest of Maryland
Republicans.
The lesson is so very old and has
been so often administered that one
would think no president could forget
it. Every time an executive has inter-
fered openly in local contests his can
didates have been badly beaten. And
it is right that this should be so. The
power of the federal government is an
engine too great to be applied in state
elections without the sacrifice of their
independence. Whenever a government
is able to make itself f-perpetuating,
then we have absolutism; whether the
successful dictator call himself consul
or protector or king or president. The
keen political wisdom of our people
has taught them to resent instantly
what must be the first step toward the
overthrow of our institutions.
A man more teachable than President
Roosevelt would not have had to learn
through an experience as humiliating
as this. For it must be notifying,
after his henchmen had made New York
city resound with their appeals for
Low on account of it's effect upon the
national campaign next year, after he
had so busted himself in Maryland as
to call out an open protest from Sen
ator German, to see his efforts reward
ed in both fields by an immense in
crease in the Democratic vote and the
transfer of power from Republican to
Democratic hands. A wise man would
not have risked meddlesome fingers
where they were so sure to get so sharp
a rap.

RODNEY WALLACE DEAD.
Bronchial Trouble Causes Demise Of Er.
Congressman After Two Weeks Illness.

Fitchburg. Mass. Feb. 27.-Rodney Wal
lace. ex-congressman from this district
and one OF the most prominent men In
Worcester county Is dead at his home
here after an illness of two weeks. Bron-
chial trouble was the cause OF death.
Mr.. Wallace was born in New Ipswich,
n. ii. so years ago. lie came to Fitch
burg in 1883 and since that date has
been a leading figure In social, political
and industriel circles OF the town. The
Fitchburg public library. which he erec-
ted at a cost OF $4,000 and the Wallace
Way. which he built at cost OF $4,000.
are marks OF his benefcence toward the
city. He also gave library TO the town
OF Rindge. n. III.
Since 1873 Mr. Wallace has held many
publis offices. He was a member OF the
state Legislature from 1873 10 1875 mem
Der of the governors council from 1880 To
1882 and congressman from 1890 to 1892.
He ls survived by two sons, one OF whom

James A. Potter & Co, and that James
A. Potter & Co. have large and constant
railway companies and the Perry electric
lighting company. Indeed tbs said that
practically all the big poles for. trolley
Perry corporations are furnished by the
firm OF which Mr.. Potter, Jr., is mem
ber.
so the Anti-Perrites are not appeased
Far from 1t, having concluded that the
ward committee is determined to secure
the nomination OF Perryite at all haz-
ards they have decided 10 give that COM
mittee a fight 10 a finish and they are
looking TO Mr.. James c. White as
their candidate.
There's no Perryism about Mr.. White
house. they declare. He's with the
people and for the people. He's neither
an unknown nor an untried man for he
served In the common council as the rep
resentative OF the old fifth ward and his
work won him the confidence and sup
port OF the voters there without regard
TO their political affiliations. It's be-
cause he wears no corporation collar that
the thinking citizens OF the seventh are
demanding his nomination.
II the ward committee refuses TO recon-
mend him as a candidate II will have
tougher fight on its hands than II ever
had before
Nor is II altogether certain that Coun-
Gilman Pierce will have smooth shedding
into an aldermahic chair Chairman An
thony of the ward committee II looking
after Mr.. Pterce's interests very keenly
II may be SAID which IL not surprising
since Mr. Anthony Is Mr.. Perce's time
keeper.
AS for Mr. Pierce himself, he. too. is
regarded as Perryite. He is a contrac-
tor and builder and not only has ne done
a great deal Of work for Perry individ-
ually, but for the Perryite corporations
as well. Mr.. Pierce. therefore. Is not ac-
ceptable as an alderman 10 largo body
of the voters Of the seventh ward and
unless all signs are deceIvlng he has a
stiff battle ahead OF him-a battle in
which the chances are by no means in his
favor If Dr. p. r. Walker. who Is being
strenuously urged by his friends 20 be-
come a candidate for aldermanic honors.
