ODELL WROTE ROosEvELT's LETTER
AND MEssAGE.-It VIII surprise most
people that Roosevelt. with all his
command of language and pride,
should have had his address to the
committee which notified him of bis
nomination for Governor of New York,
in 1898, and his first message as Gov
ernor. written for him by Benz amin B.
Odell, Jr., his successor to that Office.
When Higgins was nominated in 1904,
Odell performed similar services for
him. The letters of acceptance are
precisely alike in sentiment, and SINH
lar IN wording. Higgins message was
likewise prepared by Odell, and so far
as it treated of general topics was a
pea out of the same pod. The only
difference was with such changes az
were made necessary by different con.
ditions. These facts were elected by
consideration of the late White House
campaign to overthrow man who
had shown by his acts to have been q
stanch friend and beneiactor not only
to Mr.. Roosevelt but an able advo.
cate of the party they both professed
to support.

ANTHRACITE REGION PREPARED FOR
STRIKE-At meeting of the Presi-
dents OF the anthracite coal roads,
held in New York, Tuesday, it was de-
cided that instead OF being compelled
to close operations by the contem-
plated strike, the matter WAS seriously
discussed as to the expediency Of clos.
ing on April, for a several months sus-
pension, on account OF over-preduction.
The consumption of hard coal is g.
100000 tons month in summer and
100000 tons in winter, and as the
present excess of 100000 will be
increased by the product of this and
next month, it will tide over several
months of stagnation, the situation is
not 80 alarming for the mine owners.
The organization OF the miners OF soft
coal is, however. not so we'll provided
for against a strike.

Japan, who were both ready to quit, is
now importuned to use his pacifying
powers upon the long-planned authra.
cite and bituminous coal strike, fixed
for the summer season, so as to avoid
suffering as much as possible of con-
sumers of fuel. It will be observed,
however, that the pesce.making Presi.
dent will have to contend with en-.
tirely different conditions. The coal
strike is premeditated, preparation,
and has the knowledge drawn from
former experience. It is safe to say
that the battle will be Q saneuinary

contested Of any that have preceded

Too MUCH YELLOW JOURNALISM
1t would be far better to draw the
mantle Of charity about the misdeeds
Of the two society women OF Spokane,
and an army officer, in San Francisco,
last week, who were expelled from a
leading hotel, for infraction of rules.
If such variations are in the least de.
gree justified as a means of restraining
vice, surely the giving of names can do
little good towards attaining that OBJ
ject, and may result in utter ruin of
tho parties involved. This much, we
say, because local paper has repro.
duced from the S. F. Examiner, the
details of this incident, with all the
big heads TO draw attention to the
disgusting details. 1t is to be regret.
ted that so excellent newspaper as
the Examiner should publish sensa.
tions which popularize the seen too
oft" forms OF vice with those who are
sometimes swayed by suggestion. So
marked has been this spirit of imita-
ton that in France, a third of GEN.
fury ago, censorship had to be estab.
lished over the press to restrain people
from suicide by new methods suggest.
ed, and q stout netting had to be
placed over the outlook OF the Napo.
leon column, in Paris, 1876 feet from
the ground, to restrain tho epidemic
of suicide which followed the narration
by the press of that means of speedy
and effective termination of life.

Growth oil SEATTLE TOO RAPID FOR
TIE CCMrANY.-Sea!tle has decided
tina: telephone wires shall 60 under
ground in parts of the city where it is
practicable, and the Tacoma Ledqer
says it is owing TO a threat Of President
Scott, that as result of the policy
pursued by the council of that city he
proposed to fill the atmosphere go full
OF wires that the rain would not get
through them. The ordinance re-
quires that work shall begin within
sixty days, and be completed within a
year. 1t seems like boys play, how
ever, to impose these drastic condi
tions now, unless they can be shown
to be absolutely necessary, for the
company has had many adverse con.
ditions to contend with, and it might
have been we'll for the city to have
imposed the underground conduit sys.
tenn before the present had attained
such large proportions. Spite work
on either side is beneath the dignity
that should dominate large corpora
tions or big cities, and in the effort to
inflict trouble or injury, always the
groundwork of spite. generally the ag.
gressor is most injured.

The curtailment of our nation al
currency to a single standard has been
often shown since the Republican
party placed our money on the gold
standard. The remarkable premium
on call the other day might have re.
suited in the greatest panic ever known.
had it not been for a strenuous and
general endeavor TO tide over condi-
tions by the foster parents of mono.
metalism. Now many plans are be-
ing devised to give our circulating
medium that elasticity afforded by
our former system. One Of those is
that of Representative Fowler, of New
Jersey, Chairman of the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency, who
introduced bill providing for an in
crease OF the gold certificates by EN-.
towering the Secretary of the Treas
ury to accept deposits of good coin
in sums not less than $50, and to issue
gold certificates in denominations OF
not less than IS. This bill is designed
to increase the amount OF paper
money in smaller denominations. The
smallest gold certificate now is the
500 certificate.

justifiable manslsughter.

A FlLXIBLE Form OF AFrkEECIA-
rIoN.-A new greeting OF the gallery
god" has been imported from Aus
tralia. 1t is "Coo-o.o ee,' and gener.
ally means approval and appreciation
in the superlative degree. 1t was re-
garded as high compliment in San
Francisco, the other night, when Mus
groves Australian company was greet
cd with enthusiastic Coo oees" from
all parts Of the house. Branches OF
eucalyptus" bits of bush from the
land across the sea"-were among the
floral decorations, another detail that
rendered the welcome peculiarly per-
feet and pleasant. "Coo o-o-ee," like
the waves of the sea on the stand,
however, emphasizes either Joy or
grief, whatever the trend of the mind !;
it is used by the Australian when lost,
to enlist aid, or again, to welcome
irie nd; to express complete satisfac-
ton, or as a warning against impend.
ing disaster. The infection may have
something to do with the exact shade
of meaning, and the actor will doubt
less in the course of time, soon as the
term becomes Americanized, be able
to determine whether it is an encore
or a prelude to a stale vegetable DEM
onstration.
