AN IMPRESSION OF ROOSEVELT

Pastor Charles Wagner, author of
The Simple Life" in McClure's Mag
azine: He (RoosevelD gives the Inn
preston of concentrated force, of a
spring at tension. You feel that he
Is ready at anv moment for supreme
effort, to expend himself in any cause
that demands it, y = Here is a
man who will never retreat before
anything. unless it be evil doing; for
he Is as scrupulous as he is determined
and brave, a leader who obeys the in
ner law. This chief of a republican
state, armed by its constitution with
more authority than most sovereigns
enjoy, has the sensitive conscience OF
child. He is--to sum it up justly
an honest man. He will never be mads
to follow crooked paths; whatever
end he chooses to pursue, you may be
sure that he will move straight toward
Moreover, he is clear sighted, with
out illusions, he knows life and mn
with their underhanded ways. And
yet, seeing things as they are, he be-
lieyes in the ultimate victory of the
good; but he knows that the price OF
this victory is a dali. struggle against
the elements of destruction. He has
done much, and thought much His
body, supple and warriorIike, equal to
the BrealeSt fatigue, INJURED to hard
privation, is at hi sservice, like a good
steed perfectly responsive to it's mas
ter. Those who accuse him
Of Imperialism do not know him. His
patriotism has nothing aggressive
about it; it menaces no one. If he
would hav, America strong, it is that
she may not be at the mercy Of the
good pleasure of others; and the peo-
pie are with him in this matter. Pa
cifc but invincible-such is their char
acter. For those everywhere
who interest themselves in the des-
TIMES of the whole human family to
find at the center Of the life Of a great
people a people whose influence makes
itself felt to the ends of the earth, a
character of this metal, heart of
such kindness, an intelligence SO broad
and so rare, may well strengthen a
worldwide confidence.

THE WEST AND THE PRESIDENT

The announced candidacy of Leslie
M. Shaw for the presidency brings the
question right home to the people of
the west in g new light. Mr.. Shaw is
truly a westerner, although he knows
the whole country, east and north and
south, as well as he does the west. But
his oest years have been spent in the
middle west, the growing and creative
part OF the, country. There is a strong
conviction in this part of the country
that it is time for the west to insist
upon furnishing a president. This is
not because the west has developed
anything like a factional feeling, but
rather for entirely the opposite reason.
The whole argument is summed up in
the cogent observation of a we'll
known fastener who, after a trip
through the states of the Mississippi
valley and Rocky mountain groups,
said, "A man who doesn't know the
west doesn't know the country" Ergo,
"a man who does not know the west and
therefore does not know the country is
not Sit to be president.
The people of the west know the
east Their business and the natural
travel takes them there, but there are
comparatively few fasteners who
really know the west. Those who know
it through the ordinary travel through
the states of the western country do
not ralize its needs and it's pcssibili-
ties. Neither do they know the viril-

ton to bring the matter before con.
gress at the coming session. Mr..
Roosevelt declares that the people
have their rights and that these rights
must be respected. And he is in
Washington to insist that they shall
be respected.
President Roosevelt is working on
his message and to several callers at
the White House on Monday he read
extracts from the document in, which
he calls the attention of congress to
the need for railroad rate legislation
and the question of campaign contri-
buttons. On neither proposition has
he changed his mind His recommen-
dations with regard to accounting for
campaign contributions which were in
cluded in his last message will be re-
peated in the forthcoming one His
views on railroad rates will be ex-
planned fully and he will insist that
something be done by congress to
give the Interstate commerce commits
sion supervising power over railroad
rates.
The railroad companies have, during
the past summer, tried in various ways
to create widespread opposition to the
views Of the President upon the ques-
tion of freight traits, but apparently
their efforts have been in vain. The
sentiment over, the country, as ex-
pressed by voice and by press, is I'M
qualifiedly9 in favor Of rate legislation
along the lines recommended by Pres
ident Roosevelt, and any congressman
who opposes it will find a hard task
before him when he comes to explain
his vote to his constituents.
Just what shape the bill will be
in when it is brought before CON
gress is a hard thing to foresee at
this time. There can be no doubt that
every effort will be made by railroad
lobbies to have it drawn as loosely
as possible, but President Roosevelt
and many able assistants are on the
ground to see that the people as well
as the railroads get their rights and
the people are willing to let their in
terests rest in the hands of such able
attorneys.
Roosevelt's fight for railroad rate
legislation is made purely upon the
grounds of right and justice. He has
no Interior ends to serve, he has no
object in playing to the galleries for
support in future election, for he is
determined never again to be candi-
date. He must be given credit for
sincerity, even by those who do not

ANOTHER COAL STRIKER

National attention is again attract
ed to John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, be-
cause OF the prospect for another
strike in the anthracite coal regions
OF the east, strike similar in extent,
possibly greater, than the one of 1902.
The agreement laid down by the
strike commission appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1902, under which
the operators and men have been
working since that time. expires on
April 1, 1906. At that time the miners
will present new demands. The con-
vention to formulate these demands
meets in December. 1t is already
practically settled that the two chief
things to be asked for by the men will
be recognition of their union and the
eight hour day. The operators are
preparing to resist. 1t is even pre-
dicted that the soft coal mine owners
will join those of the anthracite fields
and thus will precipitate strike ex-
tending over the entire territory COW
cred by the United Mine Workers. If
so it will be the most gigantic labor
struggle in history. On one side the
mine owners will mass with the coal
carrying railroads, all under the lead
ership of Divine Right" Baer. On the
other will be half million miners I'M
der the capable generalship of John
Mitchell. That the operators are pre-
pairing for such battle is shown by
at least two things-first, they are
quietly getting together and coming to
an understanding throughout the
country; second, they are storing up
coal at every possible point. Nor are
the men idle. In the soft or bitumi
nous fields, extending over large
number of states in the central and
far west, they are already perfectly
organized, with fund of millions in
their treasury. In the anthracite re-
gion the organization is being brought
up to point of perfection such as it
has never known before.
John Mitchell is not an agitator. He
does not want a strike and he stead
lastly refuses to predict that one will
take place as the result of the condi-
lions that now exist. But if a strike
does come he will lead the forces of
the miners as he did three years ago,
because he believes their demands are
right and just. He commands the love
and faithful service of every member
of the miners union and he has also
the respect and admiration of even
his natural enemies, the coal barons.
With such man at the head of an
army of scores on scores of thousands,
the strike that may soon take place in
the east bids fair to be stern battle.
