Which Was Roosevelt?

Interest in the speakers remarks in
creased as he began Il reference to the
Chief Executive of the nation. There
was some curiosity to hcaf what the
late Democratic candidate would say
about President Roosevelt His com
ment was indefinite. He said that "of
the twenty-four Presidents Of the
United States who have followed George
Washington in that exalted office,
whether by election or succession, one
was without trade or profession, four
have been chosen for military service,
more or less prolonged and more or less
distinguished. eighteen had devoted
themselves exclusively to the study and
practice Of the law ana another had di-
vided his activities between the bar and
the bench with an incidental, or rather
an accidental, diversion into the career
of the soldier. If the same process were
applied TO the men who have been pre-
ferred by their party, temporarily in the
minority at succeeding Presidential cleo
tions, the same general tendency to
draw upon the legal profession for the
higher places of our politics would be
none the less apparent.
Judge Parker declared that If upon a
given day the President Of the United
States should receive the resignation OF
every Judge of all the Federal courts
of every member of his Cabinet. and ali
other officials the performance of whose
duties required a legal training, he could
fill their places with full regard to the
interests Of the public service, and with
popular acceptance, without drawing a
single arnointee from any one Of the
great centers of population

nor the dcmagogue, declared the speak

history, no really great lawyer. whose
reputation was both made and earned

Warsaw Police Resign
Rather Than Be Killed

WARSAW. May 26.-As the result
OF the killing Of several policemen dur
ing the recent bomb outra ges, and the
attacks made on police when caught
alone in unfrequented places by revo-
lutionists armed with daggers and re-
Yoiyers, wholesale designations from
the police force have occurred.
In resigning, the policemen have not
hesitated to explain that they prefer
to risk dying of starvation in case they
cannot set other work, rather than
take the chances Of assassination at
the hands Of terrorists.
Means Certain Death.
They believe it means certain death
to continue TO hold their positions.
In addition to the large number who
have resigned It is said that about 90
per cent OF the policemen have been
dismissed for various reasons. The gem
eral BELIEF is that their loyalty TO the
government was doubted.
The vacancies caused by these re-
movalS and designations have been
filled BY transferring soldiers TO the
police force.

AND MANY HURT
Electric Car Collision Near
Baltimore.
HAPPENED LATE At NIGHT
Cars Were Making Late Trips From
River Resort and Sideboards
Were Crowded.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May 26.-As the
result OF rear-end collision of two cleo
trio cars on the Westport line of the
United Railways about 80 o'clock this
morning, William Stenler was killed
and about forty-seven persons were
| either seriously or slightly injured.
1t was not long after the accident
had happened that the police were no.
tihed and Immediately several ambu-
lances were sent to the scene. A relief
car was also sent to the rescue. and
il was soon filled with injured men and
women. who were taken TO the Univer-
sIty and city hospitals In quick time.
The two cars were among the last
of the night to make the trip from the
river resorts to the city. and they were
| well filed. The first car had left Klein S
park about 1905 o'clock and was pro-
ceeding to the city. It went DOWN the
steep grade on Maryland avenue, West
pert. and had reached the point whore
the tracks of the Wabash railroad cross
that street.
Second Car Crashes Into First.
The conductor had aiighted and was
just about to signal the motorman 70
go ahead, a the tracks were clear.
| when a second Westport car, which had
been following the first, came rushing
down the grade and crashed into the car
| standing at the Wabash tracks
Men shouted and women screamed,
and, as the lights went out as soon as
| the collision took place. men walked
| over the bodies of women in their eff
! forts to reach the ground. The stronger
ones battled their way to the ground and
| found the road lined with those unfor-
! tunates who had been standing on the
! sideboard They had been dashed vio-
| lently to the ground and lay moaning
| or struggling to recover their footing:
| William Stemler, was killed.

Policy of Congress.

The petitioners also contend that the
system of free transfers is in accord
ance with the declared policy of the
Congress as expressed in the statutes
under which the several street car com
panies in the District Of Columbia hold
and exercise the important franchises
conferred upon them, Congress having
repeatedly made known its mind in en-
actments concerning the transfer of pas
sengers from one road to another; con-
cerning the use by one road of the
track Of another, and concerning even
the hauling by one road OF the cars of
anotheT-alI with a view to giving to a
passenger for one fare a continuous ride
between any two points in the District
Of Columbia.
Messrs. j. Aitheus Johnson and A. R

in the early part of next week when
they may be heard in support of the pc

they have enjoyed unrnoIested the right
TO a continuous ride ever the lines of
the said companies TO any point they
might desire on the said lines In the
District OF Columbia for the payment
of one fare, as established by law, the
said right having been made effective
by system OF free transfers whereby

j. D. Carroll of New Rock

senators and j. j. Delaney, of
Lehr, both prominent throughout
the state of North Dakota are at
the West hotel. Speaking Of
the possibilities in their state,
both men maintained that an
acre of land will pay for itself
with one crop.

Gated in another section Of the
state. hut what Senator Carroll
says about his land appears to.
be indicative Of the entire state.
Mr.. Delaney said:
There has been a decided
gain in our state within the last
three years; more than 100 per.
cent. An acre Of land will pay
for itself with one crop. This
land can be bought for abou
SIS an acre. Take for instance
in Iowa and Illinois, There the
land sells for anywhere from
1875 to $500 an acre, and the
point is, that the Ian is not
any more productive chan the

Dakota for considerably less. =

that the roads were doing every

others. The real estate men are
doing a good business, and the
report that the Milwaukee road
is going to extend it's line from
the Missouri river to Tacoma
has set them all wild again.
There seems to be no doubt Of
this, as the contracts for tn e
bridge timbers for the extension
have been let to lumber men in
Washington and Oregon. But
the Forth Dakota farmer who
sells out his land to go to the
coast to farm, ought to have a
guardian appointed for him.
