TIT. Roosevelt's Fairness.

Two weeks ago President Roosevelt issued an order removing Associate Justice Baker of the supreme court of New Mexico, from office. At the same time he nominated a Massachusetts man to succeed Justice Baker. The New Mexico official was removed be- ceause of charges which had been made against him. Agents of the gov ernment had investigated these charges and reported that they were truthful. But upon learning of his re- moval, Justice Baker went to Wash ington and laid his side of the case be- fore the president. He was able to show that he had been wronged, and that political enemies were after him for selfish ends. Upon learning all the facts, the president reinstated Jus tice Baker in office.
 The incident emphasizes Mir. Roose- velt's eminent fairness and integ- rity. With him, to be right is far more important than anything else. If he finds that he or any official representing him has made a mistake, he is always ready to rec tify the error. This trait in the presi- dents character accounts largely for his strong hold on the esteem of the people.

As Figured Out by Nicky.

More than month ago the educated
 people of Russia, through their gem
 stvos-their local district boards-pe-
 titioned the ear for a voice in the general government, albeit weak and
 small voice. Their request was fla vored by the minister of the interior, Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky, who laid the petition before his august master In view of the liberal tendencies of the minister and the extremely moderate scope of the ambitions expressed by the zemstvos the world was led to hope that the emperor would counte- nance the movement. But promptly at the time, The Republican ventured the prediction that Russias loyal reform CTS would have their labor for their pains; that nothing favorable to hu- man rights could be expected from the reactionary weakling who happens to hold the destinies of the worlds larg- est empire in his hands.
 Nicholas has justified the prediction. After considering the petition for a month he has written across it that he considers it "tactless and presumptu- ous."
 And when they come to think Of it. the reformers must concede that their beloved emperor is right. Tactless it certainly is for any man or set of men to invite the enmity of an autocratic government-a government which exercises such a paternal care over its citizens that doniciliary visits at mid night and quiet incarceration in a voiceless prison, or a free and unad- vertfsed trip to Siberia with no return ticket logically follow the expression of any opinion to the effect that the government might be better. And it is presumptuous, assuredly, for mere mortals. although they may represent the bone and sinew of the empire, to give a hint that they believe it pos sible for the autocracy to be anything but perfect. For is not the czar the Lords own anointed-the chosen rep resentative of the Almighty on earth? And are the Russian people so pre- sumptuous as to suppose the Almighty d HllSldhe WuGn lie gave IGuSSld over to the tender keeping of the pure and undefiled Romanof family and the holy Greek church?
 Nicholas may lack physical and moral courage in ordinary affairs. The ! world has the word of the Grecian crown prince for it that when he and | Nicholas, then crown prince of Russia, | were travelling in Japan, several years ago. and a Japanese fanatic assaulted | them, "Nicky ran" And since then, !. on all occasions when red bloodaand | manly courage in facing an emergency were needed. the rule has been that ''Nicky ran" But 'Nicky' doesn't run when it is matter of standing up for the prerogatives entrusted to him in sacred keeping by the Almighty. He loves his people too much to permit them to engage in "tactless and pre- sumptuous" criticisms of heavens most perfect handiwork.

Representative Government in New
 York.

During the senatorial debate on the
 omnibus statehood bill two years ago,
 Senator Depew of New York enter tained the senators and the country
 for several days with a speech ii2
 which he Iaboriously told about the
 people and things in Arizona. Accord
 ing to him, the citizens out here were
 not fit for. self government, were not
 up to the American standard, and all
 that, and the territory. if admitted,
 would be always rotten borough"
 By that phrase he meant 9 sta.e in
 which the suffrage would be debsuched "a state which would be represented
 in the senate by men who could not claim to hold their certificates by vir- tue Of honest and constitutional cleo ton.
 The distinguished senator's airy talk about Arizona is recalled just'now by the senatorial fight in his own state. He is a candidate for reelection. But neither he nor anybody else is able to say whether he will be chosen to sue ceed himself. And this doubt, strange to say, is not because Of uncertainty as to the preference of New Y.ork1=t legislators. Indeed, no attention is paid to that phase of the situation The members of a New York legis- lature are not supposed to have any preferences except those expressed by the boss of New York state Inability to determine exactly who is the boss is the only matter of doubt, and therein lies a slight uncertainty as to the sen election. The Hon. Thomas Collier Platt has been boss for a score of years. and has had the responsibil- ity of saying what the New York leg islature would do on all questions that came before that body.
 But last year the leadership was wrested from him by Governor Oden. and Odell is now supposed to control the legislature. The members who are not owned by him are owned by Platt. But it is expected that when noses are counted PIatt's following | will be small, for Platt is old and | eeDle HIatt wants DepeW re-elected. ! 0dell has not expressed himself for | but is thought to want | 'ormer Governor Black elected sen ltor. As soon as he decides. all doubt will be ever, probably. At any rate, [ he members of the legislature, whose luty it is to elect the senator, have no 'oice, beyond the photographic duty | # registering the voice of PIatt or )dell. The millions of New York vot- ITS who may have been under the de- usion that through the legislature. as provided by their constitution, they would elect the senator. now find that he legislature will perform a purely job in the premises.
 And that is why the great Empire tate of New York is so infinitely su- erior to Arizona, don't you know.

BETTING AS AN INDICATOR.

Betting is morally indefensible,
wholly so; but it is politically signifi-
cant, and the odds made by the po-
litical sporting element furnish
some index to the status of candidates.
In a political year that great majority
of the public which holds betting be-
meath it nevertheless casts a furtive
glance now and then upon the posted
figures partly for curiosity's sake and
partly for information. Those more
respectable of us may at least get an
inkling of the business by hearsay.
There IS a good deal of human ma
ture-old sinful human nature-about
the bettors' transactions. They are
all 'out to win" from each other, and
they wish to give as little as possible
for as much as possible.
When the betting fraternity holds
out an inducement of long odds to the
public the latter may be reasonably
sure OF lOSlnS-tne DetlllS lidteilll'y

the presidency have not exhibited the
confidence which comes from the pos
session of a sure thing They have
months Mr.. Roosevelt's name was, to
employ the vernacular, the only en-
try" He was logically the favorite.
For many months mis- nomination had
been assured. What Democracy would
do was wholly uncertain, whereas
powerful organization had fixed upon
Mr. Roosevelt. The democratic party
exhibited indications of difference and
inability to agree. On the bettors
books, therefore, Mr.. Roosevelt was
placed against an unknown field, with
only the possibility of strong race
against him. 1t might have been sup
posed that under these conditions Mr..
Roosevelt would be a strong favorite;
that he would command support at
long odds. But the very first money
offered on him was to l. With Mr..
Parker's nomination the odds sudden
