STRENUOUS Ar THL INC.

THE apathy which certain persons
a profcssed to have. discovered early
On the campaign disappeared a week or
two ago. and these last days have been
strenuous enough for any taste.
Both President Roosevelt and Judge
Parker entered into the contest with
an apparent determination to hold aloof
from the tumult OF active contest. each
determined 10 preserve his dignity In
deed. Judge Parker went so far as to
direct the writers OF the Democratic
campaign book not TO attack the Presi-
dent personally in that compilation.
But alas for good resolutionsl The
judge became aggressive got "all het
up and sailed into Mr.. Cortelyou IN
a manner which reflected severely on
the President Now Mr.. Roosevelt has
a touch Of fghting blood in his veins,
and he chafed under these structures
for a few days. and then he struck
from the shoulder SO the calm dignity
Of the candidates broke down after all.
And nobody is worried because these
leaders OF the respective parties show
that they are composed OF flesh and
blood, and that they are not mere bits
of statuary created for ornamental pur-
poses.
1t is an over now but the shouting
and consequently Republican lungs orc
likely to be exercised. But we pledge
ourselves whatever happens to keep
serene; to accept victory with smile
thar contains no suspicion Of insult,
and should IL BY any possibility mean
defeat TO perk up and assume an at
ttude that will accept no insult.
For greater than the Republican
party an1 greater than the Democratic
party is the American government, un-
der which our fathers lived, under
which We live and under which our
chl.dren shall live after us. Victory is
sweet and defeat is bitter, but the rules
Of the game say that honest verdlcts
shall not be protested

Man Burned TO Death In His Home

New York, Nov Joseph Capple.
a hotellSeeper, of Chauncey, West Ches-
ter county, after saving his aged moth
er and father and three children from
his burning hotel, lost his own life
from rushing into the flames when he
learned that his wife had not escaped.
The bodies of Capple and his wife
were found later in the cellar, lying
side by side. burned almost beyond
recognition.
His aged father was the first to dis
cover the fire. He awoke the son, who.
thinking there was time for all to es-
cape, first led his father and mother to
safety. When he turned to re-enter the
building he found the hall blocked with
smoke. He fought through it to an
upper room and returned carrying his
youngest child. The other children
followed close on his heels. Then he
looked for his wife, who had started
to follow behind the children. Failing
to find her, he rushed into the house,
and few moments later the floors
fell in and the walls collapsed.
