RoosEvELT's FUTURE.

"A THOUGH the President, because Of his
n position, cannot deny the oft repeated re-
ports that he will not again be the candidate OF
the party for President every once in while such
rumors receive knockout and those responsible
for them may finally become convinced that Mr..
Roosevelt unquestionably means what he says
Congressman Longworth, the Presidents SON
in-law, and he ought to be able to speak with au-
thority the question, declares that no possible
combination of circumstances could arise which
would lead him (the Presdent) to accept another
term. This ought to settle those who have been
predicting a campaign in which Roosevelt and
Bryan would be pitted against each other Such
a political conflict would not be lacking the ele-
ment of interest and picturesqueness, but IT is
not to be- Fortunately the Republicans will not
be tied to any one man as a standard bearer. The
party will not be lacking in plenty OF strong,
available timber and a will most likely be
nominated thoroughly in accord with the views
of President Roosevelt which have made such
deep and lasting impression upon the country,
and indeed upon the world at large.
But his refusal again to be the partys candi-
date for the most exalted office within the gift of
the people does not necessarily mean his retire
ment from active political life. Mr.. Roosevelt is
too young and too able to sink into obscurity He
will be one President who will be able to take
care OF his future What fine Senator he would
make from the Empire State, and what con-
trast he would present TO the present representa-
tives in the higher house from that State. With
Roosevelt as senator from New York the voice
OF that great commonwealth would no longer be
silent in the Senate His election would be a
welcome relief to New York and would be equal
ly as pleasing to the remainder of the country.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor Of the election Of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record Of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and mis- achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work Of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
lions Of One Dollareach from Repub-
iicans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

RAILROADS ARE ALL RIGHT.

THAT arch corporation organ at Fifth and
Il Shirley streets dies hard. 1t is still kick
inc over the railroad rate bill and attempts to
poke fun at the measure
The Every Evening reports that a conference
Of the railroad attorneys at Atlantic City has
decided that the law is so full Of antiquities that
it will have to be tested in the courts. or course
such was the decision of the railroad attorneys
Who in his right mind, would imagine Tor an
instant that conference OF such lawyers would
render an opinion different from what was ex-
pected of them or what they were paid to decide
The business of railroad attorneys is to find ways
and means for their clients to evade laws, to
keep them out Of Jail, to eNtort as much as pos
sible from their patrons, to show how they can
grant rebates 70 one customer and crush another
TO build up huge and oppressive monopohes and
TO wrigele out of payment of taxes. Here in
Delaware the business Of such lawyers is to
run politics if they cam to boss and control legis
latures. to put the burden Of taxation upon the
other fellow.
We understand from this corporation organ
that the lawyers discovered insurmountable OBJ
stacles to the law The more highballs the
corporation lawyers consumed by the sea no
doubt greater became the obstacles. The lawyers
want to force litigation and get judicial deci-
sion on some of the measures provisions. Ger
tainly they wish litigation Who ever saw a
corporation railroad lawyer that didn't. He gets
his money that way but the railroad corporations
will be in no hurry to secure decision. They
fought for the court provision in the bill hoping
that in any conflict, they could tie up cause in
the courts and weary the opposition. The revel-
ations regarding the determinations, the grating,
the rebates and lawlessness Of certain railroad
companies have had no effect upon the old lady
at Fifth and Shipley. 1t would have us all
humbly submit to railroad dictation and domina-
ton.

The President On Protection.
New York Press
In his letter arguing for the return Of
Republican Congress by the November
elections President Roosevelt does well
% explain his views and those OF his
party on the American tariff system
The people OF the United States are thor'
oughly committed to the principle OF Pro
lection. They are not patient with those
who would give away our markets. the
richest in the world. TO foreigners. There
Is a constant effort by The tariff revisers
to make Il appear that on this question
Mr.. Roosevelt IS at odds with the plat
form of his party and the demands OF
the Republican voters But his letter on
the Congress elections shows hat no
belief of that kind Is iustiiable. He de-
ciarcs uuequivocally for the American
tariff system. II is true that he says
rate were disadvantageous 10 the Ma
tlon II should be modified. Naturally. But
there ls the whole question in that word
''disadvantageous." Nobody would want
the tariff if it closed ihe mills and fac
tories. as the Wilson bill did. Nobody
would want the tariff IL e put the wage
earners out Of work and threw the Ma
tion into bankruptcy as the Wilson law
did. The American people want the tariff
only because and when it is advantageous
TO the Nation.
Likewise there is nothing dizquictins

vision Of the rates and schedules VIII be

I 81 nf orr
that on the whole the benefits TO b.
derived from making such changes VIII

moments. he failed to command the
support necessary for an election.
Wobster's disappointment at not re-
ceiving the nomination Of his party
i'm 1852 was great, and IL was currently
reported that he died of chagrin,
though there was probably no reason
for the impression. He was so abso-
lutoly the greatest public man in
America that the honor could not have
bestowed additional luster on him.
Mr. Seward was a victim Of disap-
pointed ambition. In his case the APP

chagrn. Like many Others he under
estimated the character and strength
of his real competitor. Abraham

James G. Blaine. who was more like
Mr.. Clay than any other man in

fate. He had Clay's marvellous mag

making men see things as he saw
them. and he failed about as many
times as Mr. Clay in reaching the
presidency strengthening the impress
sion that Americans are suspicious of
their great men. Mr. Byran is, in
some respects. strongly like Mr.. Clay
and Mr.. Blaine. He has similar mag

At the present time when there is
a general movement throughout the
country to enforce pure food laws is
it not time for Delaware to fall in
line? Even in the city markets there
is found much fruit that should be
condemned by some official.
Some years ago, l believe 1t was
during the term of office of Secretary
Calquhoun OF the Board of Health
the executive officers took a walk
through the markets and found coal
oil on premature peaches and other
half decayed fruit.
During the past few weeks there
have been large quantities of peaches,
watermelons and canteloupes in the
markets which were half rotten. There
has been no one to stop the sale Of
these, so I think City Council should
give an extra man to the city to pre-
vent the poor people from being
swindled on the one hand and left
open to sickness on the Other. Chill
dren are fond Of canteloupes and when
they are given half rotten ones TO eat
and the poisonous candies in addition,
how can we expect them to have good
health?

son why the sergeant in charge of il

ity Of making a charge unless in eX-
ceptional cases where the presence of
the officer in court is absolutely neces-

court and he might be allowed to make
up the time Off he loses by coming

We all know that night duty on a

I see I'm your paper where the people
living in the vicinity of a certain
west side Ice company are complaining
about the smoke issuing from that
plant. Now this concern is not the
only one around the city that has
disregarded the complaints of their
neighbors regarding the smoke that
comes from their factory. There are
several Of them and any objections
raised are only laughed at and cast 10
one side as worthless. The city should
take some action in this matter and
frame an ordinance compelling the
manufacturers whose plants are in the
residential part Of the city to take
some action in abating this nuisance.
The smoke undoubtedly does cause
much trouble extra work and bother
and the housewives are justly entitled
to some consideration.
