was it necessary? That was the question
asked quietly, but nobody vouchsafed an
answer. The reason is now apparent. A
lew days ago private citizen Root,-the
miracle, the genius, the giant, the modern
Solornon-undertook to talk to some of
his wall street friends about Mr.. Roosc-
welt and to particularly address himself
to the refutation OF the accepted theory
among conservative men that Roosevelt
is not safe" In his reply to that gener-
ally accepted opinion, Mr.. Root said
HE is not safe for those who wish TO
prosecute schemes to the publlc's detri-
Rent not safe for those who wish the
government conducted with greater ret
erence to campaign contributions than to
the public good; not safe for those who
wish to drag him into corner and make
whispered arrangements which they dare
not have shown by their constituents
Does the light begin to break? Do we
not see the CASTOR and Alphonse act in
the upper official circle? We have Roose-
welt, the political CASTOR, saying to
Rect: you are the greatest genius that
ever was shot across the sky. Your mas
sivc brain is a wonder to average mortals.
I uncover before your matchless ability.
And then we have the political Alphonse
saying: After you, my dear CASTOR.
You are the wisest and most distinguish
ed man that ever graced the executive
mansion. Beside your safe methods, Wash
ington was broncho buster. compared
with your conservatism, Jefferson was a
buccaneer, ccntrasted with your exploits
on San Juan hill, Grant at Appomattox
was pigmy You are IT,
And the dear, ignorant public is expect
ed to take this CASTOR and Alphonse per-
fornance seriously. The truth seems to
be that Root has retired from the Cabinet
to accept the position of minister pleni-
potentiary and envoy extraordinary to
Wall street and the lairs of the trust mag
mates, and to bring about an entente
cordiale between them and the President.
Most of them have been with Roosevelt
all the time, knowing that his spectacular
Rough Riding against certain trusts was
not to be taken seriously, but merely as
a warning ito get little further from
the road" But Pierpont Morgan, Hill,
and Cassatt were 'hot in the collar" over
the Northern Securities Company case,
and promised to give trouble. Since Root
! has been envoy extraordinary to that
class of critics, Cassatt, president OF the
Pennsylvania road, has been guest OF
henor at one of the State dinners at the
White House, and it is said that he will
how support Roosevelt, though before
Roots resignation, he was put down as
resolved to fight Roosevelt. Is the envoy
extraordinary getting in his work? What
connection has Root with the Foraker
pro-trust bill?
If the voters accept Roosevelt's estimats

GAST0N AND ALPH0kSE In THE
POLITICAL WORLD.

Upon the retirement of Mr.. Root from
the Cabinet to return to New York to
his practice of the law, In which his main
clients are big trusts, President Roosevelt
declared that Mr.. Root was the ablest
living statesman in this country or in
Europe. He said he was the greatest and
rcst versatile man he had ever known,
capable OF filing with ability any Cabi-
net portfolio. Mr.. Root has established
reputation in New York as an able lawy T,
but nobody except Mr.. Roosevelt ever
thought ne was greater than Gladstone,
Bismarck, Bayard, Mckinley, Harrison,
Clev Gland, Sherman. Window, Oluey, Car
Isle and dozen other men of the first

In public life The fulsome praise was as
great a surprise as if the President had
said Root is a greater fighter than
Grant; a greater financier than Sherman;
a greater naval officer than Dewey; a
nore learned statesman than Hoar; a
&c bier leader than Gladstone-in fact he

Mr.. Foley viii Have Another Day Be.
fore the House Committee Soon.
When the hearing on the Oklahoma
statehood bill has been finished the
house committee on territories will
give a hearing on the bill introduced
by Representative Curtis providing
delegate representation in congress
for the Indian Territory. This bill
was brought to Washington by C. r.
Fol ey of Eufaula who was sent here
as the representative of the people
the Indian Territory, pending action
on the statehood measures. Mr. Fo-
ley was selected for this mission at
a meeting held at South McAlester
composed of delegates representing
all elements of the people. He has
made a very favorable impression
among the members OF the house and
senate and has worked up consider
able sentiment for the delegate bill.
Early this session he made strong
argument on the bill before the com
mittea on territories and was request
ed to appear before the committee
again, as some OF the members CX-
pressed a desire to obtain from him
facts with reference TO the conditions
in the Indian Territory. He will like
t. go before the committee this week
Mr.. Foley SAYS If congress passes a
bill admitting the Indian Territory
well and good, but in the absence of
such legislation he thinks the bill
giving his people representation in
congress should be passed.
Mr.. Foley is well known banker
and capitalist of Eufaula, and If the
single statehood bill goes through he
will be presented as the Indian Ter.
ritOry candidate for senator. Although
he has taken little active interest in
Indian Territory politics, he has serv-
ed three terms as mayor of Eufaula
and has the confidence Of all elements
OF the people Washington Post.

WITHOUT THEIR LEADER.

There was a sad scene enacted in
Cincinnati Sunday. George Gilmore
Smith, the popular band leader, was
laid to rest. Everybody knew ''Smit-
tie" and thousands thronged the streets
to watch the funeral procession pass.
ssSmittie's'' band was there b u
marched without Its leader. The IA
miliar figure that had passed through
the Queen City's streets at the head Of
this excellent musical organization lay
silent in the funeral car, and his eyes,
cleaning with enthusiasm and his
manner of swsying the martial spirit
of the onlookers to the cheering point
with the swing of his baton were
strangely missed. 'sSmittie's" band
as 1t passed through the lines of sym
psthizers accompanying its former
leader to the grave, presented one oi
the ssddest sights on record The band
had always brought forth spontaneous
applause, but there was no sound tt
break the reverent silence as it led tbs
way to the resting place of the gallanf
bandmaster. 'Smittie's" band hal
cause enough to sorrow.

During the season of the St Louis
Exposition the Big Four Railrosd
made an exceptional record. 1t has
had between Indianapolis and st. Louis
thirty-seven trains each way a day on
regular schedule. This means that
it had one regular scheduled train into
st. Louis every forty minutes and one
in the opposite direction equally az
often- Perhaps the most remarkable
feat was that the Big Four carried
hundreds OF thousands Of passengers
into St Louis, and not one of them was
hurt during the entire season. The
road mad no accident. Those who have
been watching the record point to even
q more remarkable showing. The
seventy -four trains in and out daily
did not. of course, include the specia
trains. The travel over this road ha,
been heavy. Many times regular trainl
were run in two or three sections. Or
numerous instances special trains wen
in and out. No road handled such /,
tremendous number of cars as the Biz
Four. and no otner railroad wen
through the season without an acciden
to exposition passengers- When it il
known that the Big Four is . singh
tracked railroad almost all of the wa,
this record seems incredible.
