Rough Rider surrenders.

St. Louis Republic: Mr.. Roosevelt
surrendered all the vitalities of the
rate regulation bill and deserted the
democratic senators whose cooperation
he had invited and whose attitude
agreed with his own.
The evidence seems 10 be clear. The
point was whether the courts should be
left to broadly assume control of a
rate dispute-in other words. whether
rate regulation should remain where it
is Mr.. Roosevelt protested to desire
effective regulation. For that reason
he took a position of sharp disagree
ment with the Aldrich senatorial ma
chine He summoned the democrats TO
his aid. Then he abandoned them and
accepted the Aldrich dictation.
He wears today the yoke of the AL
drich machine.
If there were no disclosure by Sena-
tor Tillman and no corroborative state
ment by ex-senator William E. Chand-
Ter. the history of the bill would dem
onstrate conclusively these three facts.
First. that the president protested to
hold firmly against broad court re-
view: second, that he asked and re-
ceived the aid of democratic senators.
when it was apparent that there was
agreement between him and them:
third. that he surrendered his position
Internationally. went over TO Aldrich
and supported unlimited court review
and suspension of rates fixed by the
interstate commerce commission.
The statements of Tillman and Chan
dler are hardly necessary. Controver-
sy about personal veracity is outside
the main issue; or. rather. the question
of personal consistency if not that of
varacity. is settled beyond doubt in the
obvious sequences of the main issue.
President Roosevelt is a rough rider
who rides as hard in retreat as in adj
vance

Carl Schurz's Loyalty to q Friend

II is told among other things of the
late Carl SchurZ that he declined a
major generalShip proffered by Presi-
dent Lincoln unless his friend, General
julius II. Stahel, of New York receiv-
ed equal recognition at the same time.
General Schurz wrote to the presi-
dent a letter which he handed to Gen
eral Stahel with request that he for
ward it as soon as he had read it. The
letter excited the profound gratitude
of General Stahel and he refused to
send il. Later when President Lincoln
commissioned both Schurz and Stahel
major generals General Stahel called
on President Lincoln and placed the
letter in his hands
General Stahel, who is 81 years old,
has guarded this letter for years as
perhaps his most precious treasure.
showing it only to his most intimate
friends. The death of his old comrade
prompted the suggestion that the letter
be made public. 1t is as follows:
Camp Near Falmouth, Jan. %. 1868.
To His Excellency, the President
Dear Sir: | have just seen the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, which publishes a list
of your nominations for major general
ships containing my name, but not that
of General Stahel.a You remember the
conversations we have had upon that
subject and my emphatic declaration
that | would not in any manner be in
General Stahel's way; that he yielded
10 me the command of the 18th corps
and would be satisfied with the COM
mand of the cavalry reserve; that I ac-
cepted this sacrifice if he could be made
major general as well as myself. You
informed me kindly that this would be
done.
If there are circumstances preventing
General StaheIs nomination together
with mine, | feel in honor bound re-
specially to decline the distinction you
were kind enough to confer upon me-
a. the same time thanking you most
sincerely for this great work of friend
~ consideration. You will pardon me
for this. for it has always been my
principle to be true to my friends and
10 stand m to a word | have once Civ
en-. | wosld much rather command the
11th corps as brigadier general or
not TO command il at all than TO wear
two stars. setting aside a man who is
worthy of preferment. deserves my
friendship and TO whom had the honor
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-05-16

Mayor McCaskrin was given vote
of thanks at the noon day christian
mass meeting today when the an
nouncement was made that he had
provided for the use of the theater.
The mayor would likewise have
shown a considerable spirit had he or
dered the placing of the customary
arc light in the Market Square band
stand for last nights open air meet
ing. and said nothing about il. As il
was a torch served as the only means
of illumination. When the mayor him
self talks there he spares nothing in
the way of blaZes.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-05-16

TO carry your promise of promotion
Yours very truly. c. SCHuRZ.
General Stahel said: ''The list of
promotions as published in the Phila-
delphia paper was correct. but the SEN
ate cut down the list by eight or nine
names. SO that General Schurz was not
promoted in January. Later in the
year there were several vacancies. and
the president nominated both of us at
the same time"
The incident shows one of the pre-
