WHAT THE PRESIDENT LACKS
From the Boston Traveller.

From the Boston Traveller
If there is one thing more than an
other which prevents President Roose-
velt from being truly great, it is his
deficiency in the humor with which his
truly great predecessor, Abraham Lin
coin, was so literally endowed. 1t is
impossible to imagine Lincoln making
himself ridiculous by publicly scolding
uncongenial persons as President
Roosevelt has done time and again.
He was too keenly alive to the incon-
gruous, which IL the essence of the lu-
dicrous. He would have considered the
effort and the fuss so far out of pro-
portion to the results to be obtained as
to be palpably absurd. Now President
Roosevelt is not really an ugly fellow
at heart, but he came into the world
without any sense OF proportion (Which
is only another name for sense of
humor). and he has never succeeded
in acquiring one. If some good fairy
might only be persuaded to endow him
with a saving sense of humor there is
no telling what wonders he might do.

New Jersey State Officials Are Not

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Dee. s.
The new ruling of the Pennsylvania
and other railroads cutting off all
passes will have little effect within the
limits of New Jersey, in the opinion
of an attorney of this city.
In New Jersey the right to ride free
over all roads is given to an army
of state officials. This right however
Is limited to the travelling made neces-
