VICTORY FOR ROOSEVELT.
Qualities Which Have Kept the Ma
tion's Chief il the Lime
lights Glare.

The people are discussing the person.
al popularity of Roosevelt. 1t is unde-
niably great. His qualities inspire lik-
ing. 1t is also true that his qualities in
spire fear, so the many of those who
don't like him lie down in fear. The
turning over of the corporations to him
is proof of this. But his popularity re-
mains large quantity to be reckoned,
says the Utica Observer.
In the first place, it must be confessed
that he has the courage of his convic-
tions, whatever they may be at the time,
and the people like it. We have had
presidents who have been afraid to as
sert positively any statement no matter
if its truth was self-evident Not so
with Theodore Roosevelt. Whether the
statement refers to the big stick, or to
arbitration, or to protection Roosevelt
lets it out. He makes a confidant of the
citizens, and they return the compliment
by voting for him.
1t is, in the second place, his love of
playing the game of politics. Through
his whole life he has eXemplified this
love. Whether he was a New York as
semblyman, or delegate to the repub-
lican national convention police com.
missioner in New York city, an assist
ant secretary of the navy, colonel of the
rough riders, governor of New York
vice president or president he has kept
his eye on the game of politics, playing it
for all it was worth, never wearying Of
the excitement, always ready to respond
to any call made upon his mental powers
or his physical resources-in fact doing
with love all those things which larger
statesmen do as matter of duty and
patriotism. Il do love politics" he said
some years ago, when he was younger
man. Well, he has reason to now; but
he will make a better president during
the next four years if he abates that love
or holds it in control. 1t will ennoble
his fame as president if he does so.
His mental powers are big enough to
equip him in his side occupation as a
writer Of many books Some of these
books have achieved a lasting popular
ity which is reflected on their author
when chance arises to show the ap-
probation of the public.
These are a few of the many causes
which have combined to make Theodore
Roosevelt the popular man he is. We
must add that his popularity has in
creased enormously with democrats
since he has announced that he will not
run again!

"Of course not"

The waves of the rushing flood Tapped
the shore in a soft pounding that was
as insidious and as sure as an epidemic.
The fireman shook himself and began
shoveling coal into the furnace mouth.
Moore touched cock here and there; a
spurt of boiling water from one, a sizz
of steam from another, and he looked
satisfied with the signs.

we've got to have enough to go like

The conductor returned in a short
time reporting that the passengers were
unanimously in favor of taking all
chances and make rush for safety.

''its up to you to get us out of this.

was looking forward.
wet" yelled Long in response, pale
and frightened, but with his nerve still
holding good.
Watch the fire." commanded Moore,
with grim smile and the engine
dashed into the unknown. The water
flew out at either side from the great
drivers in clouds of spray, drenching
the cab. but the track was firm and the
train passed through safely and onto
the bridge. The long slender structure
swayed and creaked and igroaned, and
the waters roared beneath, but the net
work of steel held, and the river was
behind them. Beyond the bridge for
half mile the water obliterated the
track again, but the engineer did not
stop to make inquiries. 1t was death
one way or the other-slow if he
stopped; sudden if he went ahead and
there was no track, and he chose the
quicker route.
Safely again, and on, over another
trestle which stood until the train was
half a mile beyond, when it toppled
into the flood and floated of down the
stream. Five miles more. now, and
the range of low hills with their eleva-
ton and safety rose before the hurry
ing train. The engine was whirling
along at mile minute, and but five
minutes were needed to carry them from
the jaws of death. Suddenly the track
sank and the engine plunged Engineer
and fireman clung to their places, help
less, but the wheels stayed on the rails
and the engine dashed ahead The water
poured into the firebox and clouds of
steam enveloped the men in the cab.
The steam in the boiler went down as
the water rose, but the engine struggled
on as If conscious of the peril, and in
moment had caught the solid track
again, and with groan and a shrek
as Of pain, yet of triumph, she dashed
out Of the water and to the firm earth
once more.
But she was not making mile a
minute now. 1t was all she could dc
to turn wheel; but above the flood
she gained heat and steam again, and
ten minutes later the train pulled into
little station on the high ground and
the danger had been passed.
White faced and trembling passen-
| gers came hurrying from the cars to
the engine with all kinds of praise and
congratulations and purses, but Moore
and his fireman were quite calm. They
were as badly shaken up as any pas.
senger they pulled, worse perhaps, but
they were not showing it to the public
and in another ten minutes the train
was running on to Bridgeport as if moth
ing had happened.
Got any tobacco, Dick?" asked Moore
when things were moving smoothly.
Long handed him over big plug o!
the juicy black kind.
"Well," said the engineer biting of
a generous chew "this amt exactly the
kind of Thanksgiving eating was figur.
ing on, but I am darned glaI to be able
to get away with it."
'Me, too" said Dick as he bit off g

Some allowances must be made, of
course, for the optimistic representations
OF politicians at the approach OF every
great election. II is part Of the game
to manifest confidence, even II the policy
OF claiming everything" has been dis.
credited by the best political managers.
But the declaration that, according TO
more or less careful canyasscs, those
young Democrats who boltcd Bryan and
voted for Mckinley will remain in the
Republican party, is quite plausible.
Those old Democrats in whom the party
spirit Is still strong In spite OF the trying
alignment OF the Democracy four and
eight years ago. may be expected TO re-
turn 60 the fold pretty generally this
year; but there is nothing except parti.
san feeling TO draw them. and this does
not exist to any great extent among the
younger generation, especially among
those who have already broken over the
lines to vote for Republican Presi-
dent.
Indeed, President Roosevelt appeals
with especial force 10 the young men OF

EDUCATION IN POLITICS.
Parker Talks of 1t, but Relies on tho
strength of Tammany.
Judge Parker says this:

Judge Parker says this:
"Whenever n great question OF public
Importance has arisen, 1t has been pre-
sented and championed through the press
and on the rostrum by the educated
thinkers of the country, who. for the
time being. are the real leaders. and
under whose banners the organization
leaders hasten to marshal their forces
lest their power shall be overthrown."
What Judge Parker has said above
Is true and right and sensible. But
what, after the expression of such an
opinion. is Judge Pnrker's course? 1t Is
very true that the educated thinkers
of the country should conduct the af.
fairs of the country. But what is Judge
Parker doing? Upon what and whom
does Judge Parker rely for carrying the
State of New York; one OF the States.
the influence OF whose electoral votes il,
great in the results of the Presidential
campaign. He relies upon an un-Amer.
lean combination known as Tnmmany
Hall. 1t is absolutely impossible that
the man could hope to carry his own
State without the aid OF this most cor
rupt organization, in the greatest city
OF the country-an organization that has
simply become an enormous tester unJn
the State in which il exists. But 1t has
been accepted in all exigencics, by the
Democratic party, which, to the credit OF
that party, is little above Tnmmany.
How ridiculous, under the c.rcum'
stances, is the attitude of tho more OF
less qualified jurist who lives in ESQ
pus! Think of man who even talk,
of the influence of the educated man IN
politics and who at the same time must
depend entirely for his success, in the
State OF New York, upon n conglomera'
ton of the most uneducatGd and vicious
elements ever gathered together in the
making OF political pool in great
city. 1t is hard to say it, but Mr.. Park
or cannot even afford to be respectable
in his explanations. lie cannot afford
to talk abont educated people or about
educated influence back Of him. or about
all that is good and broad aud cult
waited back of him because, without
Tammany back of him in his own State,
he has not the shadow OF a hope, and
Tammnny is the worst force there Is
politically discrcdit to the country.
This is the nub Of the thing. This Il
the statement OF the thing. II this re-
spectacle jurist up in Esopus prctends to
say that the educated human beings in
this country eau, under any circum-
stances, be with him, why. necessarily,
he must cut himself away from Tam.
many. But politically he cannot afford
to cut himself away from Tammany-
and there you are! One almost sympa-
thizes with the middle-agod gentleman at
