HIS ACTIVITY HAS a PURPOSE

The great activity which Presi-
dent Roosevelt is displaying in the
politics of New York State can
be explained on no other ground
than that he aims to control the
organization of the Republican
party there with a view to his own
political future. The great interest
and sOlicitude he has shown in the
tacti0nal contest now going on are
not compatible with the state of
mind of a President who is serving
his second term and preparing to
retire to private life at its end. 1t
indicates quite clearly that Presi-
dent Roosevelt does not intend to
go into Obscurity as a "has been"
but is even now planning to re-
main controlling and conspicuous
figure in public affairs. This view
of the Presidents activity in party
management in New York is gener-
ally accepted at Washington. That
he will secure complete control of
the organization admits of no
doubt. Senator Platt no longer
counts. Senator Depew has all that
he can do to keep from resigning.
EX-GOv. Odell is discredited and
beaten. With the governor, the
speaker of the assembly, and the
New York city organization in al
lance with him or under his direct
guidance, and with the vast pow
ers of Federal patronage at his
command, the President would be
a far less bold and reSourceful
politician than he has shown him
self to be for twenty years, if he
failed to secure the control which
he is obviously seeking.

Der. If the Democrats are ever to
win another victory, if their sixth
successive defeats have not render

that end there is more than a

IN BIDDING FOR LABOR.
New England Puts in a Plea to Be
Rightly Understood.

From the Providence Morning Tribune.
The south, as Is well understood, is put
ting forth desperate efforts to lure within
her borders cotton pickers and men and
women "of all work" The climate is
rather than toll themselves Kansas and
other western states are bidding for la
borers and dilating upon the destinations
OF harvesting. and 1t Is high time word
was said for New England. But in saying
that word a Boston newspaper makes
curious mistake.
1t asserts that 1t has long been a national
tradition that New England Is a barren
country. The statement is Incredible; at
least, II Is impossible to comprehend how
any such tradition could have originated
From the first New England has been fer
tile In almost everything-rooks powders,
granite, Lodges, woodland, hills rills, laws,
morals, prejudices. sand, scenery. cram
berries. compulsory piety and market gar
dens. II New Englanders have ever been
short of anything worth having they have
either been expecting it In few days
or they have Immediately ordered It,
They have been rich In farms and, in
stress of politics, In deserted farms and
mortgaged farms designed to make a~ma-
jority of the voters desert the republicans
and flock to the democrats. The soil Of
New England Is the strongest soil in the
world-even dynamite will not harrow IT
deeply-and 1t was this circumstance,
to cultivate 1t. They knew that they could
not plow or hoe It, and consequently they
had good excuse for whiting and ex-
changing ideas. II 1t Is national trad1-
ton that New England is or ever was bar
rem. the nation should be set right.

Garbage Disposal.

After many years delay the city coun.

and made a contract for modern SYSTEM
of garbage reduction. A certain sum q
year must be paid to the men who are to
erect the reduction plant, and the city
must deliver at the plant all garbage. free
from ashes and combustible material.
1t is the intention In the city hall to es-
tablfsh municipal delivery sytem. At the
present time the city hires of private own
ers 545 teams for hauling garbage and
other refuge to the dumps. The new plan
Is TO buy 2lo wagons and teams. employ
as many drivers under the merit system
and this force in connection with a
system of scows on the river for the de-
livery of the garbage proper to the reduc-
ton plant. The other refuse will still be
handled by private teams hired from their
owners, of which il is estimated that from
$50 to 300 Will be needed. If these esti-
mates accurate the city Will save the
cost of fifty to a hundred teams Never
