President RooseveIt,s Ideal Position

President RooseveIts Ideal Position.
by Henry Litchfeld- West in the
April-June Forum]
1t is quite evident that there will be
long and bitter struggle in the sem
its final vote; but that it will be even
rually enacted there is little reason to
doubt. The Forum pointed out some
months ago that the outlook was fav
orable to the adoption Of railroad rate
legislation, and this prediction rests
now upon still stronger ground. 1t is
not within the province of this article
to deal with the question from its legal
and economic !standpoints, and l have,
therefore, only referred to the details
of the measure in most general way.
From a political point of view, it is
difficult to see how legislation for the
railroads can become a serious issue.
The proposed bill was passed in the
house with only seven dissenting votes.
Members of both parties literally tum-
bled over each other in their desire to
be recorded affirmatively.
1t would appear, therefore, on the
theory that the House reflects popular
sentiment, as if the people, irrespective
Of political utilization We're thoroughly
in sympathy with the proposed reform.
If anybody profits by the situation, 1t
is President Roosevelt, upon whose
initiative the remedy was undertaken,
and whose energy and persistence
forced congress into line. The repub-
lican party, as a whole, can hardly
claim credit, ina snuch as the most out
spoken opposition has emanated from
republican sources, and the seven mega
tive votes were cast by republican rep
resentatives If President Roosevelt
were a candidate for denomination, 1T
is easy to see how his advocacy of the
rate bill might be a factor in the polit-
ical situation, because the great inf1u-
ence of the railroads would naturally
and inevitably be combined to COM
pass his defeat. He is, however, in a
position where he can do his duty with
out regard to his future 1t is an ideal
position, for it enables him to strength
en- his party with the people without
injuring his personal political status
The railroads could, of course, combine
in antagonism on the republican party
but this is unlikely. AS a matter of fact
it is not evident that political constd-
| erations have influenced the presidents
| attitude in the slightest degree.

A JOKE FOR SMOKERS.
Try it on Your Bald Headed Friends
and Have lauqh.

If you smoke cigar that burns with
good solid ashes that will not fall off
until the cigar is half smoked up. such
a cigar as the Wadsworth Bros Chicos,
sold by B. A. Morgan, you can have a
good joke on some bald-headed friend.
When there is an inch or two Of ash
on the end of the cigar just let it fail
on that bald head and see how high
it can jump. The ashes are not hot
enough to burn, but they are warm
enough to be felt.
The Chicos are a real ten cent Ha-
vana filed cigar that B. A. Morgan
sells for nickel, and is the only g.
cent cigar where the ashes are firm and
solid like those of expensive grades.
You will enjoy a Chico anyway, so try
one and see how good it is.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECiAL DISPATCH to THE CALL.
BOSTON, Nov 5-The New York
World, which is pursuing systematic
investigation of Christian Science af-
fairs, has just come forward with what
1t claims is a stupendous expose by
Livingstone Wright OF the origin of
Mrs. Eddy's book, Science and Health
The expose occupies two separate pages
in the issues of November and 5, and
the charge made, the World declares,
will simply stagger Christian Scientists
of the rank and file Mark Twain, 1t
seems, was shown Wright's article and
strongly indorsed it, and Twain's let
ter is printed in full at the head of
the article
The article gives the story of Rev.
j. Henry Wiggin, who was for many
years literary advisor to Mr.. Eddy, and
who made Wright his literary executor.
Wiggin explains how he took pack
age of misspelled, illiterately worded
and arranged manuscript of Mrs. Eddy
and prepared the sixteenth edition of
her book in 1885, How his main OBJ
tect as literary advisor was to keep
her from making herself ridiculous and
fatty contradicting herself" How he
rewrote and reconstructed 1t.
For many years. beginning in 1885,
Wiggin, 1t is related, was the one who
made Mrs. Eddy attain to whatever
pretense she made to literary acumen
and possession of education. He tells
the World how he edited the Christian
Science Journal and rewote many of her
other books, poems, etc.
Livingston Wright is well known In
journalistic and literary circles; has
written for many magazines and fig
ured as the originator of several not
able exposes. His expose OF the bogus
Tibetan traveller of some years ago in
the Brooklyn Eagle is we'll remembered.
He is 81 years of age, was born in
Boston, but lived In the West for some
years and formerly was reporter In
Chicago.

intervention Of the military authorities
was unwarranted, made without an ap-

official and that the police Of the city
were negligent in their duty In failing
to protect the rights of the property

case only the city and city officials are

AWAKENED BY ZIP
Of A BULLET.
Leaden Missile Crashes
Through Window of Room
Occupied by Sleeping Pair
HITS HEAD OF BED

OAKLAND. Nov. 5.-whiIe asleep in
their home shortly before daylight this
morning, ]. F. Vance and his wife. re-
siding at Fifteenth and Kirkham
streets, narrowly escaped death at the
hands of some unknown miscreant.
who sped a bullet into the room which
they occupied. The bullet passed only
few inches above Mrs. Vances head
as she lay in bed. Awakened by the
sound made by the bullet as it crashed
through the, wall and the headboard
of the bed, Vance and his wife hur-
riedly sought safety in another room,
where the husband hastily donned his
clothes and notified the police of the
attempt on the lives of himself and
his wife.
The direction from. which the bullet
came leads Vance to bleieve that 1t
was fired from a house near his own.
but he is at a loss to explain why any
attempt should have been made to kill
him. He insists that the shot which
so nearly resulted in the death of his
wife, was not the result of an acci-
dent, but was deliberately aimed to
penetrate the wall of the house at a
point which would be directly in line
with himself and his wife as they lay
in bed.
The police have not yet located the
person who fired the shot. and profess
TO believe that the bullet which Just
missed killing Mrs. Vance was fred
either by sSme one under the fnfu-
ence of liquor. or else was the result
of an accidental discharge of a re-
volver in the hands of some one living
near the Vance home.
