NO DENOMINATION,

After disregarding the queries that
we're aimed at him during the cam
paign at various times, President
Roosevelt, now that he is elected,
comes out with public statement in
which he declares that under no cir
cumstances will he accept renomina-
tion for the Office of President of the
United States after the end of his
present term of Office. Coming at this
time, when the question is no longer
one whose answer may either aid or
damage his chances, he gives the reply
that would, no doubt, have proved best
for his interests if he had deemed the
matter of enough consequence to no
tice during the campaign.
This action is indicative of the char
acter of the President. Confident al
ways when he is in the right he cares
nothing for criticism nor for question.

WAR AND PEACE

|
The official figures of the losses of
the Russians and the Japanese in the
battle OF the Shake river have been
published and reach stupendous to-
tai. The world stands aghast in con-
templating the fact that over sixty
thousand men have been killed and
manned in one battle; and this, too,
IN the twentieth century. after the es-
ADJUSTMENT of the universal peace trib-
unai at The Hague, in which all civil
lzed nations have been invited to par
ticlpate. The world not only stands
aghast but a worldwide public senti-
ment is being aroused that cannot fail
to make for arbitration of interna-
tlonal disputes in the future. In the
present case all this bloodshed and
suffering is the result of the barbaric
| lust OF dominion on the part of the Rus.
sian government, which in open vio-
latlon of its solemn pledges and in de-
lance of the demands of justice, re-
fused to evacuate Manchuria, as it had
agreed to do, and even threatened to
occupy Corea and thus become men
ace to the very existence of the Japan
csc nation. The Japanese had the
best of reasons for going to war. On
the part of the Russians there was no
excuse.
! A great American philosopher, over
forty years ago, made the following
prediction:
War is on its last legs and uni
versal peace is as sure as is the preva-
lence Of civilization over barbarism, OF
liberal governments, over feudal forms,
The question for us is only, how
soon?"
We believe that this prediction is
true, though no one can answer the
question contained therein Certainly
it cannot and will not come about until
all governments are liberalized. Had
Russia been liberal government,
there would have been no war between
Russia and Japan. We believe the
present war is to be a means Of the
accomplishment of great end, and
that is, the establishment of repre-
sentative form of governm ent in the
Russian empire.

government, owes to the nation, to it.
self and to posterity to govern wisely
and well during the four years to
come.
It is important, then, that President
Roosavelt's policies of government,
which have proven so beneficial to the
country at large during the years that
have passed during his administration,
be continued and maintained during
the time that is to come. The people
yesterday, by voting so overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the republican ticket,
expressed almost unbounded confid-
ence in the ability of that party to
keep conditions as they are-prosper-
GUS and satisfactory to everyone.
President Roosevelt is wise to sur
round himself with advisers who are
able and careful men, With Hay,
Shaw, Wilson, Allison, Root, Knox and
such men among his confidantes, it
would be a knotty question indeed that
would battle the administration now.

AMERICANS ALL.

It is good news to Americans to
know that both Judge Parker, the de-

Thomas Taggart, his national com
mittee chairman. sent messages of
congratulation to the President and to
Chairman Cortelyou respectively last
night as soon as they knew that the
election had resulted in defeat for
the democratic ticket. It is good news
because it shows to the world that no
matter how determined the opponents
in political fight may be, how hot
may be campaign, good politician
knows how to take defeat gracefully
Mr.. Taggart's action of last
night was graceful, as was

WHEN HoUsEwoRk is NO MORE

St Louis Globe Democrat-Stand-
ing seven deep, women will watch an
other woman kneading dough. 1t has
become a strange, curious performance
IN this day of bakers bread. The
bread that sister cousin and aunt used
to make has gone the way of bread
that mother used to make. No one
makes bread any more; it is bought at
the store. Consequently no man wants
bread If he can get biscuit and will
have that only when it is toasted or
when he can't get something else
Poems, essays and sermons have
been written on bread. 1t occupies a
grand place in literature, in the Scrip
lures, in history. 1t belongs to history,
now. This is the reason that kneading
the dough is a curious sight to women.
They would cluster in the same way
around some one operating the old
fashioned spinning wheel. Spinning is
now done out" bread making is done
out and family washing is done
out" and most determined and unre-
lending efforts are being made to have
the cooking done out" Then let the
kindergartens manage the rest.
Be it SO. For who wants his home
to be a workshop? Shall our houses
be bakeries and laundries any more
than they should be factories for maxi
ing clothing? Wash day was for gen.
erations terror to man. Women have
abolished it. The days when the whole
house was filled with the fumes of the
kitchen, and it's presiding angel APP

Women have abolised or are abolish

US; the most hated of all; so hated
that man himself in desperation has
invented pneumatic machine that
cleans house without budgng the car
pet or the furniture. This has man
done in self defense.
So are the cares of domestic life,
one by one, sent their way to join the
others gone before into the limbo of
the dark ages; and presently, not too
many years away. that millennial per-
iod will be reached when two loving
and united hearts may not be torn
apart in the necessity of doing the
washing, broiling the beefsteak or
!, beating the rugs; but forever and for
ever by the fireside or on the front

munion of soul which finds it's daily

CAUSES OF TRAIN WRECKS.

New York Times-President futile,
of the Boston and Maine railroad has
reached the conclusion that the in
crease in the number of train wrecks
is due to the fact that under certain
conditions the human brain refuses to
work, and that the explanation for
what appears to be the increasing
hazard of railroad travel must be
sought in psychology.
This may have basis of truth, but
the basis is not broad enough to carry
the superstructure of hypothesis which
Mr.. futile would build upon it, A
better reason for the train wrecks
which are now of almost daily occur
renee is found in the fact that the
their own rules, and are kindly blind
to the infractons thereof which do not
involve disaster. AS matter Of fact,
the rules of many railroads relative to
train operation are not intended to be
enforced at all. and have practically no
other object than to aid the company
in evading responsibility in the event
of disaster. A great deal is left to the
discretion of the conductor or en-
gineer who has the good luck to take
chances and escape the normal conse-
quences of SO doing. If man brings
his train in safely and on time he is
not likely to be held very strictly ac-
countable If to do SO he has had to
break every rule in the code He
might, of course, be too reckless and
SO destroy confidence in his judgment,
but certain amount Of recklessness is
valuable asset for railroad man.
On the other hand one too cautious,
who should in every instance be gov
erned by the letter of the rules estab-
lished for his government would
quickly come to be regarded as impos-
sible. He would be very likely to
throw into hopeless confusion every
part of a system which is purposely
kept measurably elastic, and would
lose his job as the result of doing his
duty too well.
The psychological phenomena to
which Mr.. futile refers might very
well result from uncertainty in the
mind of the average railroad man as
to where he should draw the line be-
tween obedience to rules and taking
chances which will be approved if sue
cessful. This is well calculated to dull
