QUESTIONS OF TODAY.
Boston Herald: FIR. Ducey draws a
suggestive contrast between the sort
of people who used to attract atten.
tion on the streets of New York and
those who are pointed out there now.
a.days.
Today the question is: do you see
that man across the street? Well, he
is worth $50, 900, 900. Do you see that
man behind him? He Is worth $780,.
OOO, ,OOO-made last week in Wall
street." 1t Is Old Moneybags on all
sides. Never is a man of intellect,
the servent, the critic, the literateur
pointed out in public. The question
about the lawyer, the doctor, even
the clergyman of today is: "What
fees did he get? Lawyer So.and So
got 100000 for obtaining Mrs. Blanks
divorce. DR.. So.and So got $50, 900 for
veriform appendix operation"
Never an allusion to the learning of
the lawyer or the skill of the surgeon
in the operation. Even priests of God
talk about the income of the parish,
instead of the influence they are WELD
ing.
This may be putting it rather strong,
but it isn't SO far off.
PRESIDENT OF THE WHOLE PEOPLE.
Ohio State Journal: Theodore
Roosevelt ceased yesterday to be an
accidental president" In the three
years of his first administration, now
dawn to a close, he has felt it his
solemn duty to carry out, so far as
possible, the policies of his lamented
predecessor Now he Is president In
his own right, as it we're, responsible
to himself and the people alone for
his conduct in the Office he holds.
The country looks forward with full
confidence to an administration char.
acterized by justice, wisdom and pro.
gress. Few presidents have enjoyed
the almost universal goodwill which
President Roosevelt has won and
holds. Never before in the last half
century has so little partisan rancor
survived during the four months which
separate the election and the inaugu-
ration of a president of the United
States. To most unusual degree,
men of all parties show a disposition
to uphold the president.

case by the government, the pressing
of the beef cases, the revolt In Kan

monopoly, the scrutiny of the private

that the people are reused to the ex.

San Antonia Express: The warning
factions of the Democratic party have
at last found congenial work. In their
wrangle they left the door to the
Democratic household open and Mr.,
Roosevelt walked in. Now each side
is engaged in trying to make him vel
come. In their desire not to be guilty
of anything unseemly in his presence
that will remind him of their own diff
ferences, they are doing the Alphonse
