DAVIS WILL NOT DO.
Too Old for the High PositioA to
Which He Aspires.

Too Old for the High Poaitioa to
Which He Aspires.
DR.. ]. B. McFatrich, editor Of the
Third Ward Republican, Chicago publ
cation, says:
ut may be that former Senator Henry
Gassaway Davis is planning to have his
money talk for him during the campaign.
1t Is only on this hypothesis that his re-
ply to the notification address Of John
Sharp Williams can be satisfactorily ex-
planned. The octogenarian vice presiden-
tial candidate of the Democracy at the
White Sulphur Springs function indicat-
ed that he is sadly deficient, in so far
as present issues are concerned. He had
nothing to say upon any of the questions
which interest the voters of both parties.
A careful reading of his address fails
to disclose where he stands ON any vital
issue.
1.-THE man who IL popularly supposed
to carry the State of West Virginia
around in a shawl strap had not a word
to say regarding the trusts. He omitted
an allusion to labor and capital. So far
as the speech indicates there is no such
thing az the Philippine question. He had
nothing to say about the tariff. He IL
vi tdAiy Oiu ChohSu " hdNC ACdAo Va tuO
Monroe doctrine, but not a line Of this
important bit of Americanism can be
found in his speech. For all he says
there IL no such thing as the Panama
canal and the closest observer cannot
learn whether he believes in the open
door or reciprocity or any of the things
which men discuss. And has not Uncle
Gassaway heard Of the United States
navy?
For q speech which was looked for
ward to as sort Of keynote essay. the
utterance Of the old gentleman with the
barrel is a great ppointment to the
Democrats. To the Republicans II II
merely an evidence Of the fact that Mr..
Davis does not possess, at his advanced
age, the necessary mental equipment to
properly appreciate the great public quss-
tiOns which must confront the Asxt pre-
siding ofiicer Of the Senate.
"Of course, Uncle Gassaway 10 Z thor
oughly respectable old gentleman. He
10 also possessed Of much wealth and for
q man who has slipped over the 81 mark
10 well preserved and active. But there
II vast difference between minding his
own personal business and Attempting
at the sunset Of life to take 4 hand in
the strenuous work Of conducting the
great affairs Of . big nation. Al Vice
President Henry Gassaway Davis will

credited by the best political managers.

not exist to any great extent among the

It - only one Of the cunosities q an
American national campaign the result
of which is foreordained, but it arouses
more than a slight degree Of interest.
Where is the Lone Fisherman, the man
who has been twice President of the
United States? Where is he, and what
is he going to do between the present
time and the 9Th of November?
What Is he thinking about-this Lone
Fisherman, and what are his inclina-
tions? We are all interested IN him a.
We should be interested in any ex-Presi-
dent OF the United States, and, being
interested. We have also curiosity.
What about Cleveland? Is that portly
and forceful old gentleman going to have
anything to do with politics this year, or
Is he simply intent upon the considera-
tion of the subject Of lines, bait, and all
that sort of thing?
The impression seems to prevail. and
one apparently justified. that the Sage
OF Princeton Is not much interested in
the Sage of Esopus. The Sage OF
Princeton has at least a certain caliber,
and the two men do not fit.
Still. we all want to know what ths
Lone Fisherman Is going to do.

What, positively, has he (Roossvdu
accomplished?
He has handed over to Cuba tAs so~
ernment of the Cuban republic.
He settled the anthracite coal strii,
which for half year had demoralisA
the industries of the country.
When Great Britain, Germany ap(
Italy were attacking Venezuela he H.
duced them to desist, thus preserving u,
inviolability Of the Monroe doctrine
The three commissioners appointed B,
him to discuss the Alaskan boundar
question gained a complete victory f~
the American contention.
The Cuban reciprocity treaty, which
had been defeated by one Congress, wa
passed in subsequent special session
because Roosevelt insisted.
BY the creation Of q bureau Of cor
merce and labor, for which his inap
ence is solely responsible, the President
has taken the first definite steps towsN
the solution Of the trust problem. Light
will be let in on the management Of the
trusts. Then, when their evils are dehS
itely, not vaguely, ascertained a props
corrective can be applied.
The door to China's trade has bsH
kept wide open to our trade.
But the most enduring benefit hs
President has brought to the country IN
been the assurance that the Panama
canal would be finished. In the sthmial
imbroglo the President acted always
within the treaty rights Of this natsAi
his official conduct was eminently cor
rect. But were it not for his exceptlood
adrotness and vigor during the crisis th.
prospect Of the interoceanic canal would
still be years in the future. For nsirll
400 years man has dreamed Of piercinl
the American isthmus. But 1t remalnst
for President Roosevelt to bring thsm
dreams within sight of realization. His
tory will record his connection with h'
Panama canal az the most momsntsw
feature Of his first term.
Thus Theodore Roosevelt has besa u
upright and painstaking, vigorous aas
useful, honest and patriotic Presidsat
1t seems both wiser and fairer for tA'
American people to re-elect him raaa
than to elevate In his place an untrise

experience Whatsoever to fit him for ~
most difficult position in the world.

TO MAKE NEWARK A SEAPORT.
Engineer Labaiie or Orange Has
Plan TO Open q Way, for Ocean
Going Steamers by Ship Canal.

i4t Notuk StGaAneEB DS snip .resA1~As
/ Joseph Labadie, a well-known civil
mechanical engineer aof Orange, has
prepared plans which, according to his
way of thinking, would make Newark
a seaport town where ocean-going
steamers could dock. FA
Mr.. Labadie's plan is to dig a ship
canal quarter Of mile wide from
the westerly bank of Newark Bay, a
short distance north of the Passaic
Light, and run it back three-quarterS
of mile to the easterly extremity OF
Newark. He would accomplish this
with hydraulic dredges and would fill
in the 5000 or more acres OF marsh
land, at present useless, with the silt
and stone his pumps drew up. The
total cost, he figures, would be about
$3.50, 600. After that it would be
necessary to dredge out the channel OF
Newark Bay five or six feet, for about
mile, in order to admit ships of the
ocean going type.
Mr.. Labadie says the silt from the
marsh, drained of its moisture, would
make solid ground to build factories
on, and there is ample room to build
wharves on each side of the canal.
The sides of the canal would be re-en-
forced with bulkheads until the ground
became firm.
Newark Bay is deep enough to afford
easy passage for ships to The Narrows,
and if canal were cut through Ber-
gen Point, using part of the Morris
Canal, If it should be abandoned, a
route could be made which would
make Newark practically as accessible
to ocean going ships as New York.
\ Mr. Labadie has spent much time
making soundings to demonstrate the
feasibility of his plan and has been
over the ground thoroughly. He was
an engineer in charge of work on the
big Chicago canal and has had wide
experience in similar work at Calves
ton, Tex. His grandfather and father
before him, who lived in Galveston,
were active in work of that kind in
that city.
With only one dredge, Mr.. Labadie
says, the whole job of filling in the
sunken meadows and digging the ship
canal would take about ten years.

Topic For tIme Week Beginning Jan.
17-COmment by Rev. ). III. Doyle.
Topic How may overcome my tenpta-
tions?--I Cor. X, II, 10; Heb. iv, 14-16.
| There is great hope and encourage
inent in this topic iii that it suggests
| that temptat tions may be overcome. 1t
would be useless TO ask how to over
come them unless first convinced that
they may be overcome And this is the
glorious truth. Temptations may be
overcome. The adversary of the hui
man soul has no supreme power. There
J is a power above his that has over
come and can still overcome him. We
are not therefore to grow discouraged
in our struggle against temptation and
against sim We are not engaged in
hopeless conflict The battle may be
won, and, this glorious fact being true,
we should prayerfully and earnestly
seek the. method and, having it. use 1t.
Temptations cannot be overcome i'll
our own strength. This has been the
delusion that has wrought the ruin of
many In the conflict with. temptation.
Self confidence caused Sainson's down
fall He trusted In himself more than
in God, played with the tempter and
was finally overcome. Self confidence
also led to Simon Peters overthrow.
Trusting in himself he proudly boast
ed Yea, though all forsake Thee, yet
will not 1. Though | die with Thee,
after this proud boast Simon denied
with an oath that he ever knew his
Master. Self confidence Is foreruls-
ner of defeat. Man has some power of
resistance. and he should use all his
power against sin, but the power of
Satan is greater than human power;
hence that alone cannot save us. For
trust in self. Let him that thinketh
he standeth take heed lest he fall"
Since we cannot overcome temptation
In our own strength. in whose strength
can we? Only in the strength of G3d
and His Son, Jesus Christ There hath
no temptation taken you but such as
is common to all men. But God is
faithful who will not suffer you to be
tempted above what ye are able, but
will with the temptation also make Il
way Of escape that We may be able to
bear it." Christ was tempted i'll all
points as we are, yet without sim and
now as our great high priest He is at
the right hand of God making continu-
al intercession for us and willing to
present our petitions to the Father.
LET us, therefore, come boldly to the
throne of grace that we may obtain
mercy and find grace to help in time of
need" Gods power through Jesus
Christ can save us from being over
come by the temptations and trials of
life. God has purpose In temptation.
1t Is the common lot of all men to be
tempted. Concerning temptation we
need not complain. No favor is shown.
All are tempted alike. But what does
temptation matter IL with the tempta-
ton God provides a way of escape or
the power to bear IT? This He can do
and will do IL we trust him. Realizing
our own weakness, let us put all our
trust In God, and then we can say with
the apostle. When am weak. am
