49,. PECULIAR ORDER
Trainmen Liable to Discharge Unless
They Patrouize Certain Firm.

Great Northern passenger trainmen
must buy their uniforms at certain
store in st. Paul. Five hundred train
men on the system buy two suits a
year at $25 a, suit. Northern Pacific
and Omaha trainmen are also supposed
to buy their uniforms at the same store,
but no orders have been issued to them
and the men feel all right about it. The
distinct order to the Great Northern
men is likely to produce the insubordina-
ton which the circular warns the train
men against, it is said. The order may
be brought to the attention Of the
trainmen 8 union.

A Guardian Needed.

1t is quite an honor to he private sec
rotary to the president. and if the in
cumbent * discreet there are vast pO-
litical possibilities open TO him. At
least two private secretaries became
cabinet officers, Lamont and Cortelyou,
but they did not make the mistake Of
taking the presidents they served too
literally. Poor Loeb is different, good
fellow. anxious and willing. but not
equal TO the task of being Il good buff
fer for such strenuous soul as PreSi-
dent Roosevelt When President Roose-
welt told Secretary Loeb he did not
want to receive the delegation of Penn
SylVania miners, TO plead the cause or
their Colorado brethren. he did not eX-
poet the delegation would be so persist
ent He evidently thought that Private
Secretary Loeb would have the political
instinct strongly enough developed TO
smooth over matters.
The coal miners have been led to be
Iievc that President Roosevelt could, if
he wished, stop the horrors that the
Republican governor of Colorado and
his militia colonel have committed.
They thought such cruelty as banishinS
husbands and leaving wives and chill
drcn to starve would rapidly be right
ed. when ''knighthOod was In flower
again under the generous impulses of
Roosevelt. The miners. poor fellows,
did not understand that Colorado was a
redhot poker mt white heat at both
ends. especially when presidential
election was approaching. President
Roosevelt knew it and had so Informed
Loeb. and he was obIurate. He would
himself lay the matter before the presi-
dent, or the miners could confer with
Mr.. COrtelyou, the chairman of the ma
tionaI Republican committee.
The miners went home disguised and
angry The president was excited when
he saw the morning papers. His Friends:
telegraphed him he had made II gSeat
mistake. He turned tail anG threw all
| the blame on poor Loeb.
LOebs visions Of glory and power
and sitting at the cabinet board have
vanished, and the presidents eXpecta
ton of getting rid of a difficult Job has

Chicago and Illinois.

Chicago is fast becoming to Illinois
what the city of New York is to the
state of New York. In other words
Chicago already is almost able to cast
the deciding vote as to which party
will carry the state. Are the people
who are fighting for bread today on
the streets of Chicago going to wear
the full dinner pail badge which
they wore last campaign? Who elects
our presidents? Is it the rich or the
poor? Is it the capitalist or the work
ingman? Are the worllingmen salts
fled with their lot when they SVe lock
ed out of the shops in which they for
merly were employed and their chill
dren begging for bread? The republi-
can leaders realize all these conditions
which confront them. and il is no won
der they have scared the "broncho bus
ter" into keeping his mouth shut. Chi,
cago will go democratic by a big ma,
iority this fall. and the wOrkin gmen
who wore the full dinner pail" but,
tons four years ago will help the demo
Gratis in carrying the city.

Judge Parker's Pledge.

st. Louis Post Dispatch: In pledg-
ing himself not To accept a renomina-
ton for the presidency if elected, Judge
Parker was careful to say that he in
tended no reflection upon any of our
presidents. from Washington down
who have held office for two terms or
sought to succeed themselves. but ne
suggested very strong arguments in
favor of the precedent which he thus
deliberately seeks 10 establish. He
said that a president should be I'M
embarrassed by any possible thought
of the influence his decision may have
upon anything whatever that may at
feet him personally" And added:
1t is simply my judgment that the
interests of this country are now so
vast. and the questions presented are
frequently of such overpowering mag
nitude TO the people, that il is indis-
pensable To the maintenance of a be
fitting attitude before the people. not
only that the magistrate should be in
dependent. but that that independence
should be known of all men"
With great reluctance Washington
set the precedent for Il second term.
but refused third term with such an
utterance against further continuance
in the Office of president. that no presi-
dent has dared violate it since. Re
viewing our experience. especially of
late years, no one can deny that there
are strong reasons for a new precedent
in favor of one term.
II cannot be denied that Mr. Roose-
Velts conduct in the presidential Office.

the presidential nomination and cleo

have been given with clear and unbias-
ed mind TO the interests of the coun-

light of desirable indications of pres
idential policy.
But the influence of the second term
ambition has been. perhaps, more con
spicuous in the case of Mr. Roosevelt.
who was not elected president, than
any other president We have seen
him change from an ardent civil sery-
ice refOrmer to a spokesman; from a
tarff for revenue advocate TO a tariff
stand-patter; from a trust buster TO a
trust conciliator, by his desire for a
second term. We have seen many OF
his presidential acts greatly influence
ed by his ambition.
The pledge of Judge Parker is, there
fore, in the nature of an issue which
is strong and timely. II is a guaran-
tee that the great power of the presi-
dent will not be used for the advance
ment of his selfish ambition, and that
his action with regard 10 all the great
popular interests concerned in the adj
ministration of the government will
not be in the slightest degree biased
by desire TO curry favor with either
his party or the people, or with any
powerful interest seeking favor from
the government. 1t is a practical guar
antee that the civil service law will be
enforced in the presidential appoint
ments and in the administration con-
troll of public offices. 1t would leave
Judge Parker. if elected, free from
temptation to consider anything but
the public good in the conduct of his
great office.
