The Bellamy Storers.

Bellamy Storer's case, as stated by
him in his pamphlet. was not convinc-
ing. Purporting to rest upon CORE
spondence between himself and Mrs.
Storer on the one side and the president
on the other and consisting largely of
extracts from letters, it sought to make
the president appear SO wholly unlike
himself that the public instinctively
and unanimously waited for the other
side. We now have the other side and
the wonder is that President Roosevelt
could ever have acquired very much re-
spect or personal regard for the Bell
amy Storers. It would seem as if he
must have discovered them before he
seems to have found them out.
The. troublesome part of Storer's
statement was his claim that the presi-
dent had authorized him verbally and
in personal conversation to urge at the
Vatican the appointment of Archbishop
Ireland to the rank Of cardinal. The
improperly Of the presentation Of such
a request on the part of representa-
tive Of our government in behalf of the
president is so apparent that it would
take something more than the mere
word Of Storer to establish the truth
Of his statement against the denial Of
the president. And not only does the
president absolutely deny that he ever
authorized Storer to make such re-
quest, or to urge the claims Of the arch
bishop in any manner whatever, but
the letters which Storer quotes indicate
that the president was apprehensive
lest Mrs. Storer's religious zeal might
lead her or her husband to do some
thing that ought not to be done in that
connection. Furthermore, we have
denial on the part of Mr.. Cortelyou,
who was President McKinley's private
secretary, tthat Mr.. Mckinley either
orally or in writing requested Bishop
O'Gorman to express his desire to the
pope for the archbishop's elevation,
and Mr.. McKinley's good sense is a
powerful argument against the prob
ability Of the truth of Storer's state
ment ,'
The fact Of the matter is that Stor-
er's pamphlet is probably the result of
the chagrin and vindictiveness of a
foolish and unsuccessful woman in poll
y tics. Mrs. Storer's appeals to the
president in behalf Of her husband are
highly improper and her silly attempts
to disparage the talents of men like
Choate and Porter, whom she thinks her
husband qualified to supplant, are ridi-
culous. And then her feminine appeal
for an appointment to Madrid at the
time Of the coronation because, as she
says: II would love it''-"it is to
laugh.'
1t is unfortunate that the president
of the United States SHOULD be obliged
to reply at length to such malicious
and false attack upon his honor as a
man and his dignity as president, but
the president has disposed of the mat
ter most effectually in his reply and
Justifes absolutely the dismissal of the
Storers from the diplomatic service.

Book, just issued, bears out the sugges-
ton that at Tiffany's one can dispose Of
money If he has it to dispose of. How

a. book Of information about the articles

price in each case, and one not familiar

that name for the armored cruiser

naval circles. While realizing the
policy of securing support for the

that for sentimental reasons ships
