A New Leader,

The people of Greater New York
have Unexpectedly discovered a new
leader in their fight against the ele.
water railroad trust. His name is
Andrew Bretz, and he is described as
a small, mild-mannered, ~clerical-look.
ing man, % years old. But he is a
practical t~rust-buster that leaves
Teddy far behind.
The New York World of August 13,
says: 1.-THE hero of the great crowd
of elected passengers who had gath
cred at Avenue U, Coney Island, last
night, was Andrew Bretz, of No. 1928
Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn. Bretz not
only refused to pay a second fare on
the way back to the city, but whipped
four inspectors, a conductor and a
motorman, and then rode triumph
antly into Brooklyn in the same car
that he started out in. That's the
kind of mar to regulate freight and
passenger rates."
That's the kind of man to lead the
Democratic forces of New York in an
antitrust crusade. He does things.
and does them right.

great appropriation for the Philip

west was justified In asking and de-

clared that the people of the west

PRESIDENT REVIEWS NAVY.
Largest A~ssembIase of Warships Ever

the largest assemblage of war YES

western hemisphere was reviewed by
President Roosevelt in the waters of
Long Island sound, off Oyster Bay,
Monday-Labor Day. In the feet
were the newest and best of the YES

all that is most efficient in the various
classes of battleships, cruisers, torpe-

A Bloodthirsty Course,

and the military generals in the Phil
ippines it has been decided to Elk
terminate the Pulajane tribe. Be
fore the slaughter begins would ii

is necessary to take this bloodthirsty
course? Perhaps the Pulajanes have
a good grievance against the Philip.

stead of enemies. From the meager
news allowed to reach this country.
the government Of the Philippines

Question the Voters Alone Can Decide.

Question the Voters Alone Can Decide,
In spite of the declaration of Pres
ident Roosevelt on the night of the
national election in 1904 that he would
decline a denomination for a third
term, and since then repeatedly au-
thorized announcements by his secre-
tary to the same effect, there is con-
tinued talk of the Republican conven
ton in 1906 re~nominating Mr.. Roose-
welt. AS there is no law against it.
although it has become the acknowl-
edged custom Of both parties, it is
entirely a question of political propri-
ETY., and can only be settled by the
people.
We have all become accustomed to
believe that a third term for any man
might lead him and the party he rep
resents to lay plays for a fourth term.
If a third or fourth term were secured,
why not a fifth and so on. A third
term in the hands of an INSCRIPTIONS
man, using all the enormous power
granted by the constitution, which
has since been increased by congress,
would be an approach TO a life term.
and might lead TO d dictatorship.
There are two ways in our polit-
ical system of defeating a third term.
It's opponents in the party proposing
it can defeat it, as Gen. Grant was
defeated. or the majority of the
whole body of voters may refuse to
elect electors pledged to vote for the
term candidate. If the Repub-
licans wish to renominate, Mr.. Roose-
welt, and he accepts the nomination,
it will be just as we'll to settle the
term question in 1908, as to post
pone it until some more unpropitious
time. The people are quite well
enough informed to ARE for their fu-
ture.

A PROGRESSIVE MOVE
PRESIDENT DEFENDS HIS SlMPLI-
FLED SPELLING ORDER
NOTHING FOOLISH ABOUT IT
If the Changes, However, Do Not
Meet With Public Approval They
Will be Dropped.

Oyster Bay, N. Yin a letter t.
Charles A. Stillings, public print
er at Washington, Presiden
Roosevelt wrote hat if the change
in spelling advocated by the simplifieC
spelling board, and put into use in OF
fetal documents, meet popular approx
al, they will be permanent. If not
he wrote. they will be dropped. The
presidents letter follows:
The Presidents Letter.
Hon. Charles A. Stillings, Public
Printer, Washington, D. c.:
my Dear Mr.. Stillings-I enclose
herewith copies of certain circulars OF
the simplifed spelling board, which
can be obtained free from the board
at No. 1 Madison avenue, New York
city. Please hereafter direct that in
all government publications Of the ex
ecutive departments the above three
hundred words enumerated in circular
No. 5 shall be spelled as therein set
forth. If any one asks the reason for
the action, refer him to circulars 3, 4
and 6, as issued by the simplifed spell
ing board.
In Entire Ignorance.
Most Of the criticism of the pro-
posed step is evidently made in entire
ignorance of what the step is, no less
than in entire ignorance of the very
moderate and common sense views as
to the purposes to be achieved, which
views are so excellently set forth in
the circulars to which | have referred.
There is not the slightest attention to
do anything revolutionary or initiate
any far-reaching policy. The purpose
simply is for the government, instead
of tagging behind popular sentiment,
to advance abreast of it, and at the
same time abreast of the views of the
ablest and most practical educators of
our time, as well as of the most pro-
found scholars-men of the stamp OF
Prof. Lounsbery and Prof. Skeat. If
the slight changes in the spelling of
the three hundred words proposed
or partially meet popular ap-
prevail, then the changes will become
without any reference to
what public officials or individual pri-
vate citizens may feel; if they do not
meet with popular approval,
they will be dropped, and that is all
there is about it.
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

REAL REFORMER WANTED,
Honest Political Management Has Be-
come a Crying Need.

There is a vast field before the pol
itician of the future that is able
enough and honest enough to bring
about real reform in elections and
honesty instead Of notorious corrup
ton in political management. 1t is
pleasant to record that, beginning in
1904, the Democratic party has had
no campaign funds for other than legi,
innate purposes, not even enough to
compete in the lavish distribution of
literature, much less to be able to pay
a corps Of speakers, like the Republi-
cans have. The Democrats have had
to rely upon volunteers paying their
expenses. This poverty Of the
Democrats has had the great advan-
tage of releasing the party from the
bonds of trimmers and grafters and
~repeaters that hang on the skirts OF
cOrruptionists, ever looking for cash
and loot. 1t has had the good effect
of drawing honest men, formerly Re-
publicans, to act with it.
The public, at the last national cleo
ton, was deceived into believing, by
the denial of President Roosevelt of
the charge made by Judge Parker that
the Republican committee had re-
ceived large contributions from cor.
pO%ratiOnS, that corruption had been
abolished from the Republican cam
paign.
1t is notorious, from the evidence
nrOI.YaaJ 90 %Lo &c th0
life insurance scandals, that enormous
sums had been contributed by those
corporations, although Mr.. Roosevelt
denied it. Nor has there been resti-
tuition of those tainted funds to the
real owners, the policyholders, whose
for lack of it.
A similar attempt is again being
made by the Republicans in the pres
ent campaign for congress to impress
the public with the belief that no con-
tributiOnS from tainted sources are
being received. This is emphasized by
calling on the rank and file of the
party for subscriptions. 1t is safe to
say that the amount received from
one dollar subscriptions is not enough
to pay rent and clerk hire, let alone
the enormous cost of printing the
campaign book and the thousands of
documents and speeches that will be
distributed.
Where does all the money come
from, if not from tariff benefciaries
or corporations?
When the Republicans refused to
pass the Tillman bill to punish the
giver and receiver of tainted funds
they virtually acknowledged they
could not get along without such
1t is therefore up to them
to prove that the source of their funds
IS above r%eprOach, by publishing a
sworn statement of receipts, and from
whom, if they expect popular belief
hat corruption has been banished.
1t would be pleasant to record the
act that the Republican committee,
ike the Democratic committee, has
lot sufficient funds to meet necessary
expenses, so that politics would be
IN a faired footing. 1t would also be
till more pleasant to record that
from sources that expect in re-
urn Legislative or executive favors
lad been refused on ethical grounds
md a real and lasting reform was be-
ng attempted. The personnel of the
managers of the Republican campaign
loes not offer much hope for improve
nent. 1t is the same old gang at the !
a Y0n old ~ with M visible ci0n
