ABOUT OUR PRESIDE MI.

President Roosevelt has written a
letter stating emphatically that he
will not be candidate for the Pres
idency. This is not good news for
the country at large. No man in
American could beat Theodore Roose-
welt for another term. All the COM
bined hatred of capitalists and mon
opolists, all the blind venom and pre-
judice of partisanship, could not ac-
complish his defeat. But from the
Roosevelt standpoint he is doing
the wisest possible thing. Leaving
the Presidency in 1906 he is practical
ly sure to go down in history as one
of the very greatest of American Pre-
sidens AS a President there are
but two names that rank with his,
those Of Washington and Lincoln.
This greatness has come to him sim
ply because he has insisted upon do
ing his duty. He has insisted upon
enforcement Of law and upon
"square deal" for all. 1t is as sim
pie as the trick by which Columbus
is said to have made the egg stand
alone. 1t is simple as the rule of
three, it is as simple as the Golden
Rule. The President has critics.
Every man belonging to the "high
finance" class, hates the President

BEsM1RCHING THE DEAD.

Nothing of recent years has given
us so much ground for suspicion as to
the integrity of the Associated Press
Dispatches than the labored efforts
now being made to besmirch the
character of White, the New York
architect who was shot in cold blood
by the young millionaire scapegrace,
Harry Thaw. 1t would appear that
the gay young millionaire wed a
pretty chorus girl. There was so
much scandal about them that they
were put out of a New York hotel.
But they were finally welded to the
satisfaction of the public and the
young millionaire's family. Now
it would appear that this enticing
artists model, chorus girl and gay
wife of a reckless spendthrift had
her life ruined some time during her
history. Where upon her husband,
being model of manly virtue, in a
cowardly, dastardly way shoots GER
tain Mr.. White in the roof garden
of Madison Square.
Youdg Thaw has millions at his
back and Immediately the press of
the country, through the daily dis
patches, teens, not with denunciations
of the murderer but of the murdered
man. If White were on trial for
murder he could not be more viIlifed.
1t is perhaps true that they were all
tarred with the same stick. But to
make young Thaw hero and his wife
an innocent damosel whose honor had
to be avenged is not only ridiculous
but nauseating. The effort is evid-
emily being made to make another Nan
Patterson-Pat Crow affair of this
with the heavy william in the hero's
role. 1t is cheap sensationalism of
the dime library type. White may
have deserved death but not from the
hands of Harry Thaw. We hope that
the Thaw millions will not be suffi-
cient to stay the hands of justice.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-07-05

Many protest a friendship because
they dare nothing else, but in their
hearts they hate him much worse
than they hate the Devil. Then too
there are many radicals, men who
carry themselves so straight that they
lean backwards, who will never be
satisfied with any sane reformer.
These men are ready with their crit
icisms. Others like the unspeakable
Tillman are Jealous when they see
their display of reforming set aside
by the real thing.
President Roosevelt has made mis-
takes, but the people are ready to for
give him. They are ready to grant
him dissolution for all the mistakes
he may make because they know his
heart is honest and because of
the good he has already accomplish
ed. Manv men have labored honestly
in the field of reform. Many have
labored dishonesty, because forced
thereto by public opinion, but Theo-
dore Roosevelt has been the prime
mover, the power not only on the
throne but behind the throne that has
made these reforms possible. The
great things of Theodore Roosevelt's
administration are not to be found
alone in the concrete results. The
rate bill, the meat inspection bill, the
strike settlement, the prosecution of
trusts and monpolies are splendid
achievements. Greater than all these,
however, rises the new spirit of the
republic. The awakening of the
public conscience that is to make of
wealth tool and not a master. that
shall demand honesty and fair dealing
in large concerns as we'll as small
ones, that shall impose on each man
a just accounting for the talents that
are in his hands.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-07-05
Every man who attended the meet

Every man who attended the meet
ing at Schleswig and who accompanied
the excursion train that went from
Denison, knows that the statement
made in last weeks Bulletin to the
effect that Governor Cummirs was
intoxicated at any time during that
trip, is absolutely and wholly untrue.
There should be some recourse at law
against papers that make such libellous
and outrageous statements. The Bull
letin should have more respect for it's
readers and more respect for the
truth. Any man whether he be a
republican or a democrat, Cummins
man or Perkins man should resent
such entirely unfounded libels.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1906-07-05

Among the acts affecting the mill
itary establishment were those in
creasing the efficiency of the ordin-
ance department of the army, and in
creasing the appropriations for the
militia from 81, 100000 to $2,OOO,0 900
annually.
Congress took new tack in the
naval appropriation bill. Instead of
authorizing the construction Of the
biggest battleship afloat, as provided
by the house, the bill as finally pass
ed authorizes the preparation of
plans for such vessel, to be submit
ted to congress. The naval act of
this year makes small provision other
wise for the increase of the navy.
A bill was passed defining hazing,
and providing for the punishment of
midshipmen guilty of the offense.
General legislation during the ses-
sion included an act prohibiting in
terstate commerce in spurious or
falsely stamped articles made of gold
or silver alloy; an act providing for
the marking of the graves of confed-
crate soldiers and sailors, and an act
providing for the disposition of the
five civilized tribes.
The principal legislation affecting
the Philippines was an act postpon-
ing the operation of the coastwise
law until April II, 1909; an act re-
vising the Philippine tariff, and an
act authorizing the purchase of coA
claims by the secretary of war.
A bill was passed providing for
the election of delegate in congress
from Alaska. Provision was made
for the allotment of homesteads to
natives of that district. The CALAIS
ka fund.- was created, through
which receipts from liquor and bus
mess license will be devoted to the
schools and road building. A bill was
passed prohibiting aliens from fish
ing in Alaskan waters.
In its capacity as city council
for the District of Columbia, congress
passed acts providing for the COM
pulsory education of children, estab-
fishing a juvenile court, regulating
employment agencies, providing for
fire escapes, regulating pharmacies
and the sale Of poisons, and reorganizz
ing the board of education.
Among the important matters left
unfinished at this session are the
Smoot case, the Philippine tariff bill,
the santo Domingo treaty, the eight
hour and anti-injunction bills, the
revision and consolidation of the
copyright laws, the ship-subsidy bill,

The admission of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory as single state was
accomplished by the act approved
June l6. The act also admits Arizona
and New Mexico into the union as
single state, provided that majority
in each of the territories shall vote
for joint statehood, and not other
wise. This bill was the subject of
bitter contention, as it had been in
former sessions. 1t passed the house
in the form of bill admitting the
four territories as two states. The
senate amended the bill by eliminat-
ing all provisions relating to Arizona
and New Mexico. In conference the
conditional admission of these ter
ritories as state was agreed upon,
and after vigorous debate in both
houses, the conference report was
argeed to.
After several years of effort on
the part of the state department, con-
gress at this session passed an act re-
organizing the consular service.
The consuls general and consuls are
grouped by classes, and provision is
made for an inspection service con-
sisting of five consuls general at
large, at SIS, 900 each. No officer in
the consular service receiving more
than 81, 900 is permitted to engage
in business or practice law. All fees
are to be turned into the treasury.
Originally the bill provided that the
higher Offices should be filled by pro-
motion only, but this provision was
eliminated and the promotion system
has been established by the state de-
partment without further enactment.
An important piece of legislation
during this session was the removal
| of the tax upon denatured alcohol.
1t was strongly opposed by man
ufacturers of kerosene and gasoline.
In the debates it was alleged that
with the tax removed, alcohol could
be manufactured and sold cheaper
than either kerosene or gasoline, and
that it would enter into universal
use for illumination, motive power
and otherwise.
For years congress has had diff
Guilty with the executive departments
through the expenditure of money and
the mourning of obligations in ex-
cess of appropriations. Several amend
ments to appropriation bills were
made during this session designed
to correct this abuse. Hereafter the
heads of executive departments are
required to apportion appropriations
made for their 4 apartments in order
to avoid Deficiencies, ar4 deficiency
appropriations will be made only to
cover unforeseen emergencies.
Congress also put its foot down
upon the disbursement of money COL
lected by any department and not
turned into the treasury. All money
received hereafter must be turned
into the treasury, and no disburse-
ments may be made except in accord
ance with appropriations made by
congress. Detailed estimates of all
appropriations are required from all
departments. 1t is also provided that
no clerk shall be transferred to another
department at higher salary until
he has performed three years service
in his first position.
