Anhorisms of Roosevelt.

There are many different kinds of
work to do; but so long as the work
is honorable, is necessary. and is well
done, the man who does it well is en-
titled to the respect of his fellows
Corruption, in the gross sense in
which the word is used in ordinary
conversation, has been absolutely I'M
known among our Presidents, and it
has been exceedingly rare in our Pres
idents' Cabinets.
The worth of a civilization is the
worth of the man at its center. When
this man lacks moral rectitude, mate
rial progress only makes bad worse,
and social problems still darker and
more complex.
We are bound to recognize this fact
to remember that we should stand for
good citizenship in every form, and
should neither yield to demagogic in
huence on the one hand, nor to i'm
proper corporate influence ON the 9th
er.
l ask that we see to it in our coun-
try that the line of division in the
deeper matters of our citizenship be
drawn, never between section and sec
ton. never between creed and creed
never. thrice never. between class and
class.
There are many qualities which we
need alike in private citizen and in
public man; but three above all--three
for the lack of which no briliancy
three are courage, honesty and COM
mon sense.
While citizens die. the government
and the Nation do not die. and we are
bound in dealing with the forests to
exercise the foresight necessary to use
them now, but to use them in such a
way as will also keep them for those
who are to come after us.
No action of the State can do more
than supplement the initiative of the
individual; and ordinary the action of
the State can do no more than to Sc
cure to each Individual the chance to
show under as favorable conditions as
possible the stuff that Their. is in him.
The good citizen is the man who,
whatever his wealth or poverty.
strives manfully 20 do his duty to
himself. to his family. to his neighbor.
to the state; who is incapable Of the
baseness which manifests itself either
In arrogance or in envy, but WHO,
while demanding justice for himself.
Is no less scrupulcus 10 do justice to
others.

Would Be Unwise,

It would be most unwise to commit
a revision of the tariff to the party
which in it's national pla form has de-
clared that protection is robbery. !"
For il the Democrats mean this, then
they would seek so to revise the tariff
as 10 take from it every protective fea-
ture-a revision which would make
the tariff robbery" indeed by depriv-
ing the wage Garner, the farmer, the
merchant and the manufacturer of the
distinct material advantages they have
enjoyed during the years that adequate

RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIES.
American Cities Must BE Rebuilt ia
This Generation.

American Cities Must BE Rebuilt IL
This Generation.
The urban population of the col Ii
mental United States is now about 26,-
100000 and the population outside OF
cities of 10000 Inhabitants and over is
about 54,0O0,OOO Tl.!s urban popula-
ton, also, is increasing IL a much Il ore
rapid rate than the other. The esti-
mate of the census bureau is that the
total increase between 1900 and 1903
nearly half was in these towns.
Moreover, improved methods of trans
portation and communication are now
attending the suburban area more rap
idly than ever before and making it ur-
ban in respect of the density of popu-
lation.
We instance these statistics to bring
them in association with other statis-
tics, gathered by the Insurance Engi-
neering Magazine for the purpose of
showing how combustible are our
American cities. From this point of
view of the insurance people this IS a
matter of very grave Importance, for,
as that authority says, 1.-THE United
States has an annual bill to pay for
property destroyed by fire ranging
from $3.50, 100000 to $20OO00,000," and
this loss is largely due to the com
bustibility of wooden buildings.
In Chicago, for example, more than
half of the buildings are of frame
construction. In Newark. a town with
Il population of nearly quarter of a
million in 1900. two-thirds of the build
ings are frame. Even in Boston the
frame buildings are more than two
thirds of the whole. In San Francisco
more than nine-tenths are frame. That
magazine gives a list of about seventy
towns in which frame constructionpre-
dominates so greatly that, to use its
words. they have a "kindling wood
look" The same remark might be
made of about all the 43S towns emu
merated in the census bureaus COM
putation of the urban population. In
Boston and Chicago the conditions. as
this expert authority points out. are
favorable to a repetition of the great
conhagration from which those towns
have once suffered.
Now what does this imply? 1t inn
plies that at least all our more con-
siderable American cities have got to
20 through the process of reconstruc-
ton which has gone on in New York
for so many years, ana would now be
proceeding at rate more rapid than
ever if it had not been checked by
building strikes.
Architects builders. stone masons,
iron workers and dealers in materials
for iron. stone and brick construction
have a great future before them in this
country, for practically all our large
towns will have to be rebuilt during
the next generation, or at least in the
next half century.-New York Sun.

Judge Parker's Extreme Partisanship.
When Judge Parker was proposed as
a candidate for the Presidency it was
not believed that he was an extreme
partisan. In truth. everybody sup
posed that he was very moderate. This
belief continued through all the trials
in the st. Louis convention. Every
body said Parker was a kindly and
good mar, q Democrat, but not of the
extreme gype This was the opinion
current throughout the country, until
Thursday, Sept. S, when he made Il
speech at Rosemont. his summer home,
to 200 Democratic editors gathered
from all portions of the United States.
Then he developed his real character,
and to the surprise of everybody bios
somed out into Democrat of the ex-
tremest type. His utterances are so
extraordinary that at first people were
inclined to discredit the report. Never
thelesS it now appears that the report
ed speech of the judge is as extreme
as any Democratic politician in the
land could desire Among other things
Judge Parker said:
Fortunately we have eight recent
years of Democratic administration
which we will gladly compare with
any similar period since 1860"
Could any utterance of the widest
Southern Democrat go further than
this? He insists that the eight years
of Cleveland at Washington will COM
pare fayorably with the great and
world-praised administrations of Lin
coin. Grant, Hayes, Garfield, and Me-
Kinley. Could anything be more ex-
fravapant and moro un+r1,a2 Such

elections than they showed in the pres
idential year of 1888, they will lose con-
