President Roosevelt's letter of ac-
ceptance which was published in the
daily press Of the country last Mon
day is one of the most vigorous and
able public documents that has been
given to the country for long time.
It rings with national honor and pride
and in a most fearless manner relates
the achievements of the Republican
party during the last few years that
have been such memorable years in
the history of the country Seldom
do we get such a contribution to the
political history OF our country. It
may not be within the lifetime of the
babes of this nation that our country
will achieve the greatness that it has
achieved during the last decade nor
have two presidents of the same poll
teal party so broadly human and so
close to the people as William Nc
Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt's letter is more
than a campaign document to furnish
political underlings their cues and
pointers. It is a state paper, ably
prepared and is the best that has come
from the presidents pen since he be-
came the head of the nation. Every
act of any Importance of the nation
and every issue is clearly set forth,
explained and defended.

unprecedented visit to Wilmington

to have smoke and went into the

feathers fell

Conductor WAS Inside.

The Business Man was In his usual seat
by the club window, but he was not
watching the people stroll by. He was
watching the door anxious to unburden
himself to the first man who came in.
The writer happened to be the first one.
This is the way the wronged man started:
See here, 1 wish you would get after one
of thes treet railway companies for me.
Usually I have nothing burt words Of COM
mendatlon for the conductors. This time
I think I am justified in making a kick.

motorman was looking straight ahead and
was not casting glances to the right OF
to the left. The conductor instead OF be-
ing on the rear platform. where he be-
longcd, was inside the car. The door was
closed and his back was against 1t.
Shouting as loud as l could, started
20 run after the car. Men on coal wagons
and people on the street took up the cry.
1t was no use. At times 1 was almost
near enough to grasp the handle. Finally
was distanced. AS the car fairly tore
down the hill the fat wheel made a noise

Train Was Late.

Wilmington bridal couples have very
strenuous times. There are stories
from time to time as to the send-offs
different couples receive, but the half
is never told.
So It is not strange that only a few
people know of the tribulations Of an
ante-Lenten bride and groom. They
succeeded in escaping their friends and
arrived unheralded at the B. & o. sta
tion only to find the train they intend
ed to take an hour and a half late
They waited at the station for 1t and
after what seemed hours to them, IL
arrived. Their destination for the
night was Baltimore and the train
still more overdue when it reached the
Monumental City.
The dismay Of the newly married
couple may be readily appreciated when
they discovered that they could get no
carriage and that not a street car was
running All that they could do was
to walk a distance of nearly two miles
and to carry their bags with them and
this they proceeded to do. arriving at
their hotel. weary and footsore.
More trouble awaited them there.
Quarters had been tlegraphed for, but
being so late in the morning, their
suite of rooms had been given over to
another bridal couple.
After many apologies and explana-
tions matters were adjusted and they
were given where to rest their weary
heads.

-Reo TAPE ANp THE cHANNEL

Philadelphia IN her efforts to have
Congress provide for a survey OF a
channel of s5 feet in depth is threatened
with defeat because Of red tape in the
House committee on rivers and har-
bors. Work is now being carried on
under the survey for a SO-foot channel,
and Chairman Burton says that under
the rules Of the committee the work
under this survey must be completed
ere a new survey can be authorized.
II that is the rule, it has very little
basis of common sense. and should be
abrogated. In any piece of work it
may become desirable at any time to
change the plans; and since the gov
ernment engineer in this instance re-
commends 1t, why should a senseless
committee rule stand IN the way? Such
methods would never be tolerated in
dealing with private enterprises.
And into what an absurdity this rule
will leadl II shoal is to be dredged
few feet win be cut away, and then
under the new survey the contractors
viii so back and dig out five feet more
II rock is 70 be blasted all the expense
Of sinking the mines viii be undergone
and a channel Of 80 feet win be cleared
and then the workmen win go back ia
that same spot in year or two and
blast away another five feet.
The United States Government can
nos afford to sanction this sort OF ex-
travagance in order to preserve lit.
tie rcd tape. Tho commerce OF tho Del
aware is more Important than a com
lmittce rule.

1tis either Sunday or holiday when
the Every Evening doesn't find some
new cause for denouncing President
Roosevelt. but we confess to some as
tonishment at It's latest effort in THIS
line. Il shows industry and ingenuity
It recites all the grievances we have
against the people Of santo Domingo
OF their insults and indisnities to
American citizens. and declares that a
strenuous" administration such as we
are blessed with should have "soundly
spanked" the Dominicans FOR their in-
solent temerity."
We have gained some knowledge OF
statecraft and diplomacy from assldu-
Gus attention to the editorial columns
the Every Evening. and among other
.ngs the following have been inn
PRESSED:
That we should have great tenderness
for the little brown men" of the
Philippines
That no man is good enough TO gov
crn another without his consent
That those who are generally regard
cd as half-savage plunderers and in
surrectlonists may really be 'liberty-
loving people shaming our Revolution
airy forefathers in their patriotism.
That we must not oppress a weak
struggling people, the virtue Of their
cause being in proportion to their
weakness.
That war is always wrong. and un-
quesuonably 80 when America engages
in it.
Now applying these enlightened prin-
ciples TO the case Of the Dominicani
we see every reason why we shoul,
refuse to interfere to break Up theh
diversions. They are not little brown
men," but they are the next thing tc
it, If men must not be governed with
out their consent, is it right to make
war on them without their consents
And is not warfare the most drastic
sort of hostile government
And don't these people profess to be
patriotic and 'liberty-lovlng? They
have declared it. aud shall the Ever,

OPINION
Two New States.


From the New York Bulletin.
II is intimated that the prolonged
fight over the admission OF the Terri
tories to Statehood is likely to be
ended by bills which win combine Okla
homa and Indian Territory in one
Commonwealth, while New Mexico and
Arizona viii make up the other. This
compromise does not seem 10 De en-
trely unreasonable under the circum-
stances, since each of the new States
would have a population respectable in
point Of numbers, although, with the
exception of Oklahoma. the percentage
of illiteracy is deplorably high in these
Southwestern communities. 1t Is well
TO remember, however that the con-
templated measures are credited to the
House, and that IL they pass that body
they will still have to run the gauntlet
of the Senate, which may leave them in
such shape that their authors wouldn't
recognize them.
