BaSeless Charge.

The charge that Mr.. Roosevelt IS ian
unsafe man" is disproved by history.
He was governoro of New York for a full
term and has been president three
years. These are the two highest ex-
ecutve posts in the nation. In neither
of them did he ever do an executive
act that has turned out disastrously
for the country? Where does the un-
safencss come in?
The pretended alarm of Democrats
on this score is really Il great compli-
ment to Mr.. Roosevelt 1t is equiva-
lent to saying that he is an energetic
president. Wo Americans are an ener-
gctic people, accustomed to doing
things instead Of sitting DOWN and
dreaming about them, and why should
not we have that kind of Il president?
Mr.. Roosevelt's energy Is Of the
healthy American kind, and it has had
wholesome effect upon our OWN peo-
pie and in other countries. A president
who has spent his life doing things is
greatly preferable to one who has
spent his life writing judicial opinions.

Likewise. Parker has heard some
thing about Illegal and dishonest
trusts, but he doesn't know that there
Is anything to be done about them.
And nobody cares about his ideas on
that question. He'll never set any

trusts: not even river of petroleum
would be ignited by such a match!

A Word to Partisan Democrats.

Republican prosperity is not vague,
meaningless Dlatitude. 1t is not some
thing that may be good for the other
fellow and not good for you. If you
would be willing to deny yourself Re
publican prosperity for the sake Of be-
ing hide-bound partisan Democrat,
you ought nevertheless to ask yourself
whether you have a good moral right
to vote to deprive others of it,
Republican prosperity Is what will
conduce to the happiness of your home
In Democratic times your wives and
children and your neighbors suffered
as well as yourself. If you are will
ing to try for yourself another dose of
Democratic hard times, your affection
nevertheless for the helpless ones ut
home, who want the good things of
this life If you don't, ought to be suf-
ficient to make you vote for four more
years of Republican prosperity.
There seems to be an impression in
the neighborhood of the Astor House
that Judge Parker, if elected would
select his entire cabinet from among
his New York coterie of advisers as
follows:
David B. Hill.
Perry Belmont.
William F. Shechan.
Patrick H. McCarren.
Charles f. Murphy.
Cord Meyer.
w. BOurkc Cochran.

This is as pretty an array of StHtes-
men as ever stcercd Il candidate or

pears to he the custodian of the con-
victions and fortune; of the seer Of
Esopus, who is summoned weekly to
New York to receive his instructions.
Whatever evil or menace there may
be in trusts and combinations of capi-
tai. the people will take notice that the
Republican party Is the only one that
has attempted to break up illegal COM
binations of capital. During the two
administrations that the Democratic
party was in power it did nothing. The
Republicans passed the Sherman anti
trust law, and all the suits under it
have been instituted by Republican
adminstrations-the railroad injunc-
tion suit, the cotton pool cases, the
beef trust cases and Others The DEM
ocratic party has done nothing but

Floods Have Abated, but Relief
for Traction Situation Is Not
i'll Sight.
rs NO FURTHER DAMAGE

No decision on the bridge question was
reached by the County Commissioners yes
terday, and a meeting of the County Coun-
ell has not been called. Ii is necessary
to give seven days notice for meeting
of the council, but the Commissioners will
probably not make even that move for
week more, it will require at least
two weeks for the county and city engi-
neers to prepare estimates of the cost of
the bridges, for the building Of which the
Commissioners will ask the council for a
bond issue.
The Commissioners inquired of Mayor
Hoffman yesterday as to what disposition
the city would allow the county to make
OF the old bridges. provided the new are
built. Mayor Holtzman's answer was that,
so far as he was individually concerned, he
believed ii would be only right for the
city TO allow the county to take the old
bridges and use them in other parts of the
county. Since the city, said the mayor,
pays 80 per cent. of the county's taxes, it
would pay the city TO have the county use
these old bridges rather than to expend
funds for new ones and send the old to
the junk heap
There was no change in the bridge or
street car traffic situation yesterday and
passed down the river and the flood is SUBJ
siding. Before making any move toward
temporary repairs on the old bridges, which
can be used for vehicle traffic, the city
will await the action of the County Com
mssioners and Council.

New Years.

A petition in real Chinese was presented
to the Board of Public Safety yesterday
and will be considered at this morning s
meeting of the board. 1t covered a large
commercial letter-size piece of blue paper
with black Chinese characters, and would
have been a veritabie Chinese puzzle to
the board had 1t not been accompanied by
it's counterpart in English. The translation
read

NEGRO FAILS as ADEPT
IN HIGH FINANCE
Thirteen-Year-Old Boys Ambi-
ton to Get Rich Quick Makes
Him Prisoner.

Richard Walker, a thirteen-year-old ne
gro, allowed his ambitions to become a mer-
chant and get rich to lead him into paths
of wrongdoing. His mother had given him
a new suit of clothes and, believing that
his appearance would be presentable for a
house-to-house canvass he went to the store
of Solomon Binzer, on Indiana avenue, and
ordered six of the best silk shirtwaists in
the house and had them charged to his
mother. Binzer knew the family well and
supposed the order had been sent by the
mother. The young would-be merchant in
his new attire and with his store of goods
under his arm started out and soon disposed
of his wares for a considerable sum, which
not by any means a triie. For some
of the shirtwaists he got as high as $40.
Walker was taken before Judge Stubs
yesterday and returned to Plainfield, from
which place he was released about a year
ago.

accept the boards offer to pay the face of
claims for back wages.
The claims. which have dragged through

men who were deprived for seven months
of one days pay each week
The claims amount to about SO 600 and a
special meeting of Council may be called to
appropriate this sum. A committee of the
firemen will report TO the board to-day
All but about dozen firemen have ac-
copied the offer of the face of the claims
but some have sold their claims to specu-

city paying interest on the original amounts
or sue the city for it.
