Fresh Evidence OF Roosevelt's Sym.
pathy with Wage Farmers.
1t has been repeatedly stated that
President Roosevelt never misses an op-
portnnity to show his sympathy for
wage-earners. Here is fresh evidence
of the truth of this assertion. Dur
ing the existing administra tion," says the
Chicago Tribune, 1.-The United States for
the first time has interviewed in a private
damage suit. Nothing was known of the
order until Senator Knox, late Attorney
General, mentioned it the other day. A
brakeman was injured, after the act re
curing the use of safety appliances on
interstate railroads had gone into effect,
while endeavoring to couple cars which
had not been equipped i'm accordance
with law. He brought suit for damages
in United States court, but was unsuc-
cessful. The case was called to the at
tention of the President. and, as he saw
that the decision Of the lower court nulli-
fled great remedial statute, he directed
petition for a writ of certiorari to be
filed to remove the case to the Supreme
Court. 1t will decide whether a law
which was passed to protect the lives OF
hundreds of thousands of railroad work
ers can be violated with impunity'

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS.
They Receive Abuse of Democrats and
Support Of the People.

According to the Democrats, the Re-
publican Presidents, every one of them,
have been bad lot, personally and po-
! litically. Each and all of them were
declared to be running the country; but
| when the day of reckoning came, and the
| verdict of the people was handed in on
| their ballots, judgment was given-save
in two cases in fortyfour years-for the
Republicans. Impartial history acquits
every Republican President of criminal
| intents and acts. In doing his duty to
the people Mr.. Lincoln became a mar
tyr. No ruler was ever more viliied and
denounced. His body in life, his spirit
Ill death, represent the dividing line be-
tween loyalty and disloyaty, between the
cohesion of the States or their disinte-
grafton. When a Democrat, be he leader
or follower, writes or talks of the Re-
publican party as nation-destroyer
through its measures or its Presidents it
is because he does not know or does not
care to remember that Buchanan, who,
as Democrat, SHAPED the course of his
administration that the advocates Of
secession might have a quick and easy
victory; 1t was this Democratic President
who left to his Republican successor and
the loyal people he had been chosen to
govern, an empty treasury, a corporal's
guard OF an army, wreck of a navy,
dismantled fortresses, and legions of Of
hceholders liberated with a disloyalty
that the stern lessons of war and years
or christian peace have not entirely Grad
lcated. And before Buchanan were Dem
ocratlc administrations whose acts were
seemingly studied preludes to his crime.
Inc lineage of the Democratic party is a
record of broken pledges conceived in po-
Htical lnlquities and strangled at their
birth. 1t is the Democratic party to
which the people owe four years of civil
war and eight years of such misgovern-
ment that the rich became poor and the
poor starved
1t has been the province of the Re-
publican party to undo the work of its
opponents; it has again and again saved
the nation from degenerating to a low
grade IN nationalties. and it has enforced
respect throughout the world for coun-
try which the Democrats had brought in
to contempt.
VI course the Democrats asSail Repub- |
hcan PRESIDENTS and their nominees for |
the place of Chief Executive; they do |
this more by innuendo than by direct &C
cusanon-a stabbing in the dark rather |
than fight in the sunlight. But there |
Is always this in favor of the Republican |
party Presidents from the time they |
begin 10 make history for the nation
that Tor their support in the ordeal of |
pubilc criticism they have had the Con
sututlon of the Union, it's Congresses, |
and the voice of the people.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
Another Evidence of President Roose-
velt's SaCacity.


Mr.. Roosevelt the President is prov
ing himself to be long-headed man. 1t
seems he has anticipated the Emperor
of Germany as to The Hague Peace Con-
vention, where war may be considered
in all its perplexities of inception and
conduct. The American and German
rulers are looking to the future with
view of decreasing the causes for hostili-
ties; or, if there must be war, of chang
ing its conduct benefcially for non-com-
blatant nations. Our government has
steadily and persistently herd to certain
propositions as to the rights of neutrals,
and rs prepared to urge their adoption at
the convention. The positions taken by
the United States are for our future con-
Germ and welfare in case this country
should again be forced into fighting. This
action is long look ahead, it is to be
hoped; but as long as war is a POSSIBLE.
ty it is statesmanlike sagacity that seeks
an advance to minimize it's hardships;
and where we are neutrals it is business
on the part of this government to know
beforehand the scope of a neutrality nee
essarily International This move on Mr..
Roosevelt's part is not at ali usurpation,
as Judge Parker would be likely to define
it If he were to be consistent. 1t is,
ia ther, diplomatic move in the interest
of humanity. and matter for approval
by people of all nationalities, especially
those gathered in America. If Mr.
Roosevelt should be continued as Presi-
dent his ideas in this matter will I'M
doubtedly receive consideration at The
Hague convention when held but if a
Democrat be chosen to succeed him the
matter will be dropped for two reasons
at least-it being foreign to the avowed
policy of the Democratic party as to in
reference in Old World matters, and
also because the proposition is of Repub-
ican origin. 1t is we'll for the people to
understand that the advancement of the
nation as shown under Republican direc-
ton will halt under that of the Demo
Gratis, and then be followed, as in other
years of their supremacy, by retrogres-
sion and by ruin as soon as the vitality
given to the country's affairs by the Re
publicans has been exhausted.

Interest on the Public Debt.

As regards interest on the public debt
| the figures of the Harrison administra-
| ton that interviewed between the tive
Cleveland administrations are OF inter-
est. The interest payments for the year
1892, the last year of Republican rule,
were $23,37S,116, as against $51 $50. 149
for the first fiscal year of Cleyeland's
first administration. Then, during Cleve-
lands second administration the public
debt was increased $500, OOO, 600. and the
interest payments, which in 1892 amount
ed to $23,37S, 11G, in 1897 amounted te
$37,791. ITO. But in 1904 the interest
on the public debt was only $24, GAG, 400
this reduction having been due chiefly to
the economy rendered possible through
the financial act of March, 1900, which
nearly every Democrat in Congress voted
against.
The most important increase i'm expend-
lures under Republican rule has been for
the navy-and this policy Of upbuilding
the navy was pet policy OF the late w.
c. Whitney, President Clevcland's Secre-
tary Of the Navy, whom Democrats often
term the father of the modern Americas
navy. During the Cleveland years. ex-
penditures for the navy increased $19,-
100000, and the Navy Department ex-
penditures for 1901, compared with those
for 1897, Cleveland's last year, show
all increase of $6S,OO0,OOO the bulk of
which increase is for construction Of new
ships
In consideration of the fact that the
United States has increased nearly SO
per cent. in population and more than
100 per cent. in wealth since Grover
Cleveland was first inaueurated, the in
creased expenditures of government
would naturally seem to be entirely jus
titled.
If they are not, the Democrats should,
at least On fairness, be willing to cFiti-
else the increase in Democratic years just
as much as the increase in Republican
years,

A GREAT QUALITY.
Roosevelt Quick to Think and Act,
but Always Wisely,


President Roosevelt is being attack C
cause of his alert quick mind and prompt
| action. The scare-cat variety of politi
clans are crying him down on this is
sue.
1t as common error, the belief that
| because a man thinks quickly, and acts
promptly in an emergency, he is rash
or dangerous individual. To the slow
| man, one whose mental processes are nat.
urally labored, it is incredible that an
| other mind, differently constituted from
his own, may arrive almost instantly
at the solution of a question which would
| occupy the attention of the heavier NOV.
ing brain for a long time.
Celebrity of judgment and action are
characteristics of some very great men,
though not by any means is this an at
tribute of them all. Whenever this quail
ity is conspicuous in man, his critics,
friendly and adverse alike, accuse him
of rashness. After a long trial such a
man often convinces his friends that his
instant judgment was well founded, his
prompt action we'll taken. But his enc
mics never will allow this.
A practical illustration taken from the
most commonplace fields of life shows
how unfounded is the idea that quick
thought and action are dangerous. A
horseman, football player, locomotive
engineer, woodsman telling tree, all
these at times must instantly grasp a sit
uation, judge accurately as to distances,
chances and certainties, and act, with
the rapidity of light upon the minds di-
rectlon. ''Ddspatch is the soul of bust
ness" This is the motto of every
great manipulation in the field of business
and finance. The money-makers decide
instantaneously, in crisis, and he who
most quickly thinks, and thinks right,
acting boldly upon his own judgment, is
the winner. There was never any such
thing as successful fighter who was
slow of brain, languid in motion.
1t is a great quality, that of being
able to think quickly, and think right
at the same time. 1t is said of some
horses that they look over the whole
ground" There are men who do the
same thing, taking in the entire situa-
ton in one comprehensive glance. The
born soldier does this. So does the born
statesman.
When the ship of state is headed to-
ward the rocks the executive officer must
be quick to see and prompt to steer away
from the danger. To wait would be ia
tai When advantage to the State is
waiting. the executive head should be
instantly alert to the potentialities of the
moment, and competent to act upon the
case at once, for opportunity waits for
no man.
Because the mass of men are slow in
thought, scattered as to attention, late
In action, they should not suspect the
quick, alert. concentrated minds of men
more gifted than themselves. As mat
ter of fact. the public admires. trusts
and believes in the man of quick thought
and action. 1t has more faith in the
man VINO knows his own mind than it
can nave IN the man who waits for help
from within or without to make it up.
Events have shown that President
Roosevelt thinks quickly and thinks
right; that he acts promptly, and wisely.
W hat more could be asked, brethren of
the slow-going order?
