R%oosEvELT's QUALITIES.
They Insure Success Both as soldie,
and Statesman.

and Statesman
"If we were seeking a soldier" said
Senator Bailey, of Texas, in opening the
Democratic campaign in Brooklyn last
week, Il should prefer the President to
almost any other man in public life.
As We are seeking a statesman, how
ever, l should prefer almost any other
man in public life to the President"
They tell US the President is brave
Mr.. Bailey continued, and so he is. but
he is as rash as he is brave. He would
be one of the best men to lead a desper-
ate charge in time of war, hut he is one
of the worst men to administer a great
government in time of peace.''
Coming from the junior senator from
Texas, where every boy baby is colonel
before he is weaned and a statesman as
soon as he sheds his milk teeth, this is
as unexpected as it is in part untrue.
Senator Bailey has sacrificed his ad-
mlration for military genius and his rec
ogmtion of its almost universal coin
cldence with statesmanlike qualities to
the ~eNisencies of a political campaign.
All history teaches that the qualities
that go to make a successful soldier
are the effective equipment of she sue
eeSSIul statesman.
Caesar crossed the Rubicon before he
put aside the crown upon the Luper-
cal.
Bonaparte devastated all Europe be-
fore he gave to France the Code Napo-
| leon.
Cromwell triumphed at Naseby before
he held the reins as Protector with a
hrmness and justice that deserved the
emulation of Kings.
In our land, from Washington down
to Roosevelt, experience has proved that
the life of the camp is no unfit train
ing for the presidency. The list includes
Mt least one Democrat, now almost can
onized who carved his way to the White
House with his sword and retained the
presidency Il second term through the
wisdom of doing things" which con-
founded the drawing room statesman
of his day and party.
We cannot say that Theodore Roose-
Welt is an ADLER or a drawer soldier
than Andrew Jackson. But we doubt
if Senator Bailey would seriously main
tain that the hero of New Orleans was
as amenable to the counsels of reason
and righteousness and the letter of the
constitution as the soldier who for three
years has administered our government
soberly, seriously and successfully. ac-
cording to the chart laid down by his
predecessor.
Every Republican president elected
since the civil war-Grant, Hayes, Gar
held. Harrison. McKinley-was n sol
der before he was President, and none
OF them was the worse for having seen
service i'll the field for his country. But

PROSPERITY AND Politics,
Why Should Anyone Desire a Change
of Existing Conditions ?

OF EXISTING Conditions :?
When MIR. Mckinley was first elected
President in 1896 the country was in the
midst of an industrial panic. Business
WAS depressed, trade was paralyzed and
Conscience was destroyed. This was the
result of four years of Democratic rule.
The election Of Mckinley was followed
by an immediate revival of trade, which
continued throughout his administration
and to the present time.
Our foreign trade increased enormous
ly during Mr.. McNinley's administration.
In 1899 we sold foreign nations S1,2227.-
443.425 worth of American products and
in return bought only $696, OO7, 1888, or a
balance of trade in our favor OF S531.-
366,O31; for the fiscal year ending June
30. 1898, we sold foreign nations S1,231,-
329,95O worth OF products, and in return
bought only $616,2O5, 159. n balance of
trade in our favor of $615, OOO,O 600. The
total balance of trade in our favor during
the two years was 81, 145, 900, 600.
Compare this with the last two years
Of Clereland's administration under the
tariff act of 1894. During those two
years the balance of trade in our favor
was only $2S7. 100000, as against ST.
1lo,0O0,O00 during the last two wears of
the Mckinley administration. One was
under the Democratic tariff of 1894 and
the other under the Dingley law, which
is still i'll force.
Since the election of Mckinley in 1896
the country has been lifted out of chaos.
stasnation aud financial depression, and
brought into an era of prosperity the
like of which was never before written
on the pages of history. Why should
any patriotic American wish to exchange
present conditions for those which pre-.
vailed under a Democratic tariff and adj
ministration?

Hon. Thomas Taggart was chairman
"f the Democratic State Central Com
mittec of Indiana in 1892 and 1884. In
tn" first year the Democrats barely es-
capped defeat after having carried the
State in 1890 by nearly 10000, and in
1894 the Republicans carried the State
by nearly 10000 majority.
Mr.. Tagsart was the Indiana member
of the Democratic national committee in
1890 and 1902. In that capacity it was
his duty to look after his own State as
much as if he had been chairman Of the
State committee. If he did the results
OF his work did not matherialize, for the
Republicans carried the State by 2G.5OO
in 1900 and by $4,000 in 1902.

Eight Republican

EiSnt republican years. ........ 81. Si
The banner year for strikes was 1894,
which involved a loss of So, 145, 532 to
employees in wages.
1t has been estimated that the strikes
of 1903 lessened the purchasing power
OF the American people by fully $1,000
Wo,VoO; and yet, so universal was the
increase in pay of wage earners that
the savings deposits of the country were
increased by the enormous sum of $780,
'9o,loo in one year. This affords a
striking contrast to the memorable year
Of Democratic adversely, 1894, when
S~37,1S9,6W more savings We're with
drawn than were deposited.
There is a vast difference between the
significance of strikes in years of adver-
sity and years of prosperity. According
to he annual report of the American
Federation of Labor the 1904 strikes of
the organizations affiliated with that
body in 1903 resulted in benefits to no
less than 192.591, or q per cent of the
249,Sl9 members involved. In 1894 the
proportion of successful strikes was only
37.35.
Clearly the present prevalence of spor-
adic strikes will not serve the Demo-
Gratis as a campaign issue, except as !,
boomerang.

Six years experience of the present
tariff law has shown that it protects the
American workman's work. the Ameri-
can workman's home and the American
workman's wages. Free trade would rob
him of this protection in the Interest Of
foreign workmen.

THE PENDING STRIKES.
They Are of No Use ns Democratic
Campaign Material.

After cropping about blindly for some
thing to take the place of the dead 16
To / free silver issue of 1896 and 1900.
the Democrats have apparently seized
upon the unrest of labor as indicated in
numerous strikes in various parts of the
country as Il condition which can be
charged to the Republican party. This
is merely another illustration of The ira
ditional faulty of Democratic issue nun
ters to monkey with n live wire, when
they are looking for something to win
votes.
Strikes. like the poor. we have with
lis always. But unlike the poor they are
not proofs of hard times and misfortune.
More often strikes are the signs and at
PENDANTS of prosperous times. In hard
times wage earners have nothing 10
strike for, except against sharing in the
losses which wait on unremunerative
industry. In good times. such as we
have been experiencing under Republic
can rule during the past eight years,
strikes indicate the natural ambition of
labor to secure an increased share in
the profits of their remunerative indus
try.
Under Cleveland, from 1898 to 1896,
strikes signifed the protest of labor
against declining wages.
Under Mckinley and Roosevelt. from
1897 to 1904, strikes have marked the
strides by which labor has raised its
wages to Il point never before known in
the history of the industrial world.
No official statistics of strikes have
been compiled later than for 1900, but
the figures for the sixteen years to and
including that year show the follow
ing LOSS of wages to employees during
two Republican and two Democratic
administrations:

But more to the point are the figures

CONFER ON UNsANITARY STREETS.
Major Woodbury. and DR.. Darlington to Co.
operate in Investigation.

The unsantary and dangerous condition OF the
streets this winter and the difficulty met in COM
batting It led to a conference yesterday between
Commissioner Woodbury. and Commissioner Oar
nngton. to devise some method by which the Street
Cleaning and Health departments might combine
their forces. Both departments have been flooded
by complaints of the condition of the streets
1t due to the unusual snowfall and severe
weather. Commissioner Woodbury. told DR.. Oar
lngton. that he had been handicapped and delayed
in the removal of ashes and street sweepings- He
had with hard work succeeded in having no delay
in the collection OF garbage He had now caught
up with his work. and could handle without delay
ashes. street sweepings and garbage.
DR.. Darlington and Major Woodbury. are to in
vestigate not only the existing conditions of the
streets. but also the dumps now in use, and the
advisability OF increasing them. The West Side of
Manhattan is without adequate dumps. To factlt-
the investigation the city is to be divided into
small sections. and one section will be investigated
at a time
The cold wave which struck the city Tuesday did
equal the prediction, and, although 1t grew
colder steadily all last night and to-day will prob
ably be much sharper than yesterday there Is no
danger Of zero weather right away. The Weather
Bureau predicts for to-day colder weather. with
brisk and fresh northwest to west winds.

many words President William R. Harper an
nounced to the senior class to-day that the uni

beyond its allegiance TO the Baptist Church. Most
Of the STUD s and most Of the professors he said,
were non ptists. All the buildings the campus
paid for by the people OF other creeds, and
S99 Of every $780, except that given by John D.
Rockefeller, who was a Baptist, contributed
by people not members OF that church.
Religious denOminatiOnaiism in universities he
said, is mindedness. and the fact that the
University Of Chicago has broken away from this
class is evidence OF its mental progress De
nOminatiOnalism may apply to small colleges, but
