1t has been repeatedly stated that
President Roosevelt never misses an op-
portunity to show his sympathy for
wage-earners. Here is a fresh evidence
of the truth of this assertion. Dur
ing the existing administrati tion." says the
Chicago Tribune, "the United States for
the first time has interviewed in private
damage suit. Nothing was known of the
order until Senator Knox, late ATTORNEY
General mentioned it the other day. A
brakeman was injured, after the act re-
qniring the use of safety appliances on
interstate railroads had gone into effect,
while endcavoring to coupls cars which
had not been equipped in accordance
with law. He brought suit for damages
in United States court, but was unsuc.
cessful. The case was called to the at
tcnton of the President, and. as he saw
that the decision of the lower court nulli-
fled great remedial statute, he directed
n petition for writ of certiorari to bs
filed to remove the case to the Supreme
Court. 1t will decide whether law
which was passed to protect the lives OF
hundreds OF thousands of railroad work.

publican party as q nation-destroyer
through its measures or its Presidents, 1t
is because he does not know or does not
cure to remember that Buchanan, who,
ns a Democrat, shaped the course OF his
administration so that the advocates of
secession might have quick and easy
victory; 1t was this Democratic President
who left to his Republican successor and

that the stern lessons of war and years
of Christian peace have not entirely Grad

ccrutic administrations whose acts were
seemingly studied prcludes to his crime.
The lineage OF the Democratic party is u
record OF broken pledges conceived in po-
ltical iniquities and strangled ut their
birth. 1t is the Democratic party to
which the people owe four years of civil
war and eight years of such misgovern-
ment that the rich became poor and the
poor starved.
1t has been the province Of the Re-
publican party to undo the work Of its
opponents; it has again and again saved
the nation from descnerating to n low
grade in nntionalities. and it has enforced
respect throughout the world for a coun-
try which the Democrats had brought in
to contempt.
or course the Democrats assail Repub-
lican Presidents and their nominees for
the place of Chief Executive: they do
this more by innuendo than by direct ac-
cusation-a stabbing in the dark rather
than fight in the sunlight. But there
is always this in favor of the Republican
party's Presidents from the time they

Here is an incident that illustrates
one trait of the Presidents charnctcr-a
trait that tends to make him popular.
While James Jeffrey Roche was having
n chat with President Roosevelt in the
White House last week the telephone
bell was ringing somewhat persistently,
says the Boston Herald. There being no
attendant at hand the President excused
himself and went to answer the repeated
call. This is the conversation that took
place on the line according to the testi-
mony of the distinguished gentleman at
the Presidents end of it,
"Well, what is :t?'
Hello. is Archie therc?'
"No. he's not"
"Who's this I'm talking to?'
