To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir' what
shall we do with Mr.. Roosevelt AFTER MS
present term as President ends?"
zee by yesterdays Sun that he seems TO
incline to the Senatorship Of New York.
That's a noble office and there are good prece-
dents for such positions being taken by an
ex-President. :
But | want to suggest a plan worth two or
three such. l will not go into the argument
in favor of it-but simply initiate Mr.. Roofe-
yelt's method anent his theory for ourtaling
enormous incomes and dangerous accumu-
lations of capital; namely. state my plan. and
then let the politicians and statesmen ana
philosophers debate 1t and work 1t out. This.
Won see. Is very little trouble 20 me. and Will
give the aforesaid quidnuncs plenty to do
between now and the next Presidential cleo
ton. This Is the plan:
1. Put Elihu Root in as next President.
, let him choose Theodore Roosevelt his
Secretary OF State.
This. 1t is easy to see, will assure all that is
hoped for by those who have urged still
another term for Mr.. Roosevelt, and VIII
continue the two best sets of brains in the
United States in positions favorable for the
working out of the Rooseveltian policy for
saying the nation from the dangers now
threatening it. whether from the expressions
nj capital" or the "seditions and rebellions

To The EDITOR OF THE sUN-sfr; To day the
word is Relief" for the sufferers from the disastrous
earthquake In san Francisco. Among the 3o0,0 900
homeless San Franciscans there must be at least
10 600 Japanese. since there are some 10000 OF our
fellow countrymen In San Francisco and the neigh
horhood, and their residence section. as well as
their business section, has gone long ago, Judged
from the reports Of the burning OF the city We
Jananese In New York and tho vicinity should do
all We can toward relieving them as well as the rest
~ the sufferers. But we are utterly in the dark
as to what is becoming of them. except as regards
tho names OF a few dead, which have already been
nubl,shed In the papers. There were two Japanese
do,lics In San Francisco before the disaster, but
our opinion is that they could not keep their types
In order in time of the quake. Perhaps the print
inc machines and all have been destroyed utterly,
so we do not expect to receive any copies of the
napers which should have been printed since Il
nrst dny OF the disaster were 1t not for that. Nc
Geographic messages came to vi from any OF tee
Janenese there. We have TO appeal 10 the Amer
can press TO make an effort TO md out what is
becorlr OF the 10000 japanese San Franciscans,

ELSBERG BILL HEARING.
Believed Ihat the Mayor Will Sign the
Measure as 1t Stands.

Mayor Mcclellan held a public hearing
Yesterday on the Elsberg rapid transit BILL
For the most part the arguments were a
repetition Of those made a couple OF weeks
ago before the Joint Cities Committee OF the
Legislature. The measure provides that
vacancies in the Rapid Transit Commits
sion shall hereafter be filed by the Mayor;
that the terms upon which new franchises
are granted must be approved by the Board
of Estimate before the Rapid Transit Com
mission can pass favorably on a franchise,
and 1t limits the terms Of such franchises
to a twenty year term with a possible twenty
year renewal.
1t was upon this last clause that most
OF the discussion turned yesterday. George
L. Riyes, one of the counsel to the COM
mission. said that the twenty year hmlta-
ton would mean that private capital would
not be forthcoming for the building and
equipment Of the new subways, and that
he bill would intrench the existing tran
sit companies in their monopoly for
the reason that with their power houses
and equipment they would be the only
companies able to bid for new lines on a
twenty year lease.
After Albert B. Boardman had opposed
the bill Senator Elsberg spoke in its de.
fence. r. Fulton Cutting, w. M. 1vins and
F. w. Hinrichs were others who urged the
Mayor to sign the bill. O.
It is generally believed that the Mayor
will approve the measure.

Need of Another Federal Judge.

Congress has been asked to authorize
the appointment Of another Judge for
the Southern district of New York, The
situation confronting the Federal judi
ciary in this territory is a serious one.
Since 1878 the terms of the Federal courts
for criminal business in the district have
been held by the Judge for the Eastern
district, pursuant to Section 6l3 OF the
Revised Statutes. The business OF the
courts has been so great that only rarely
have any of the Circuit Judges or the
Judges for the Southern district been
able to devote time to the criminal terms,
and now the business Of the Eastern dis
trict has grown to such proportions that
the district Judge of that territory has
been obliged to give notice that after
January / he will be obliged to conhne
his sittings to his own court.
OF the two Judges in the Southern
district one is occupied almost wholly
with admiralty cases, and the other with
bankruptcy proceedings. In the report
| of the Committee on the Judiciary favor
ing the authorization of another district
| Judge, which has just been made to the
Senate, it is pointed out that unless an
additional judgeship is created either
the criminal business must go unheard
or the civil business must be neglected.
In a joint letter to the Senate Committee
the Circuit Judges say:
IT seems likely that there will be considerable
increase in the criminal business Of the Southern
district; indeed. the prosecutions under the Anti
Trust law, a number OF which are now in q prelimi-
nary stage and are of a character which will con
sunni a great amount OF time. will of themselve:
considerably increase the work"
In his report for 1905 Attorney-Genera
MOODY called attention to the congested
conditions existing in the district, and
pointed out that with the priority which
is and should be given to the trial of such
cases where the defendants are in prison
awaiting trial there is little time avail
able for the trial Of bail cases, &c little
that at some terms of court it is impossi'
BILE to try a single bail case The neces'
sity for relief is obvious, and the Attor'
ney-General's statement shows how ur'
gently it is needed. The question is mo-
one Of politics, but Of the proper admin
istration OF the law, and Congress shoulc
not delay the much needed relief.

THE Great Fortunes of the Good.

We hope that an esteemed correspon-
dent who speaks Of Mr.. ROOSEVELT as
sthe enemy of accumulated wealth" mis-
understands the President.
, The acquisition and possession Of great
fortunes by good and public spirited
men seems to be regarded with approval
by MIR. ROOSEVELT. In his second an
nual message to Congress. in December
of 1902, the President said:
Great fortunes have been won by those who
have taken the lead in this phenomenal industrial
d.velopment, and most OF these fortunes have
hren won not by doing evil. but as an Incident to
action which has benefited the community as
uhole. Never before has material wellbelng beens sc
widely dldused among our people. Great fortunes
have been accumulated. and yet In the aggregate
