GETTING INTO THE CABINET.

of being delegate to convention.
Mr.. Root, who served President
Mckinley ably as secretary of war
and who has now been called to the
head OF the state department. knew
nothing of war when he went into

southern district of New York by APP
pointment of President Arthur
Mr.. Hitchcock, whose conduct Of
the Interior department has been

Mckinley selected for minister to

enter the cabinet. He never held

to read out of the Republican party
all opposed to the machine by say
ing that "the republicans are read
to meet the issue whenever our demo.
cratic friends think the time has ar
rived to produce it,"
That quotation contains two mis-
representations. The first is the ref
erence to the ISSUE" which the
machine says is the primary, and the
second is the insinuation that the
democrats are pushing the measure.
Any well informed mao knows that
the primary system of nominations,
be it good or bad, is a republican
institution. The republicans of
North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and Iowa have adopted the system to
greater or lesser extent. In the first
three states the republicans have en-.
acte d a primary law, There is nc
record of the democrats ever enact
ing such a law in any state.
But this misrepresentation of
the facts and the attempt to
switch the issue will avail the ma &.
chine nothing. The voters OF
the state know the record of the
machine, and it is on this record the
machine must stand or fall.
The issue for the next campaign,
is, so far as state politics is concerned
SIS the machine greater than the
constitution" In regard to national
politics the issue is upon the doc
trines advocated by Roosevelt, such
as railroad rate regulation, control
of trusts, and tariff revision. The
machine in this state stands against
these issues. The voters of the state
stand for the state constitution and
for the doctrines advocated by
Roosevelt. The mae hine cannot
switch the issues.

The painfully evident attempt OF
some newspapers Of the state to
"carry water on both shoulders" in
regard TO the question OF railroad rate
regulation reminds us of the after
dinner speech credited to Mark
Twain. 1t was at banquet of the
large bore statesmen and liter ry
lights. A gentleman of great reputa
ton On both continents had respond
ed to the subject Heaven and He'll"
and had made a bright and taking
talk. Mark was called upon and, in
referring to the subject mentioned,
said that he did not care to say much
regarding either place as he had a
great many friends in both. So it is
with some of the weak knee sisters of
the editorial fraternity. Good god
and good devil" is their policy until
they see which way the majority is
going. They think they "have
friends in both" 1t is doubtful if
those managing the railroad end of
the campaign are at all pleased with
such dishwater policy; they would
doubtless much prefer to know how
an editor stands on the question.

PROF. ROENTGEN TOO SHY
Could Not Face Crowd Assembled to
GIorify His Work

BERLIN, May 2.-Professor Roentgen
is too shy to attend the International
congress called to celebrate the tenth
anniversary of the discovery of the
Roentgen ray, and to collate the latest
applications and developments. The
congress opened here April 20 and the
professor promised to be present, but,
in spite of this and although his name
was on the program, he said he sim
ply could not attend the sessions as
it would be impossible for him to face
the crowd which had gathered to glorify
his work.
DR.. Charles Lester Leonard of Phila-
delphia, president of the American
Roentgen society, regards the trans
actions of the congress as being of high
value to the profession, the results at
tanned by many eminent experimenters
having been gathered together and
rlade available for the physicians of
the world.

INCENDlARY AT WORK
Sets Fire to San Pedro Street Grocery
Store

At an early hour this wednesday,
morning fire was discovered in n
grocery store at 1923 San Pedro street.
Little damage was done by the flames,
the total loss aggregating $50, but it
was apparent to those who witnessed
the fire that it was started by an in
cendiary.
The store, which was a one-story
frame building, was found to be on
fire in three places. The fact that each
place was saturated with kerosene
showed conclusively that the house was
fired by an incendiary.
George Bane, the owner was not at
home when the fire occurred, but was
notified later. He Informed the police
that he had a man sleep on the place
but that he had not seen him yesterday
