ROOSEVELT "sAFE" MAN

Charles ]. Bonaparte made a speech
in Maryland few days ago In which
he spoke about the safety" OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Here is part OF Mr.
Bonaparte's estimate OF the man:
Tn truth. l doubt II he have ever had
q president. and l. at least. have never
seen q man more open to suggestion,
advice or remonstrance than Theodore
Roosevelt. He can not be cajoled. he
can not be buliied. he can not be bought
either with money or anything else. II
democratic editors mean that these
qualities render a president unsafe"
then they are quite right to prefer an
other candidate: and venture to add
that David b. Hin Is remarkably well
fitted to suggest a candidate to SUIT
them.
1t may be owned that. whether Mr..
Roosevelt be safe" or not. certain
classes of people would undoubtedly
feel In greater safety were he out of the
White house. "Grafters" who look to
'pulr for immunity: men. whether rich
or poor. few or many, In the north or ~
the south. who trespass on the consti-
tutional rights OF their fellows; rebels
and conspirators in the Philippines
Moorish brigands who kidnap our citi.
Gems; South American Adventures who
would hold up" our canal-in short
criminals and law breakers of high o.
low degree In our midst. enemies o
our country both at home and abroad

firmation Probable on

Hanna has announced his purpose "a
oppose confirmation On the floor of the
Senate, and there are other Senators
who, II is believed, will follow his lead.

position. believing that by preventing
the confirmation Of General Wood. thes
are going TO hurt the Presidents chances
of nomination and election.
It is even said that Senator German

tion in Maryland, and the attempt made
TO defeat him. intends TO make a per
sonal fight upon General Wood and any
other OF the friends OF the President
who may come before the Senate fol

the exits and the greatest excitement
prevailed. The mourners we're rushing

ing an effort TO reach the doors when
patrolmen pushed their way in and
forced the excited throng back to their
seats.

Then, standing on a stairway. so that
they could be seen by all, the policemen
announced that the fire was some dis
,ance away and there was 70 danger.
This only recalled to the minds Of his
auditors the reinsurance given those
who lost their lives in the theater fire
and had little effect.
Many again started for the doors and,
realizing that It would be dangerous 10
attempr to prevent the crowd from leav-
