The Roosevelt Doctrine.

President Rooscvelts speech before
the Harvard Union recalls the saying
of an old preacher that his text was
chosen simply to furnish, him conve-
nicnt point from which to ralnb'c.
Starting with athletics as his text,
Mr.. Roosevelt ranbled into the broad
field OF government and politics. and
even made n short excursion across
the seas into the Philippines Some
field Of government and politics. and
cratic in tone as to give comfort to
the esteemed Charlottesville Progress
and even some Justification to our con-
temporary's proposal that the Demo-
Gratis choose Mr.. Roosevelt as their
nominee for the presidency. But when
the President dame to speak Of States
rights he showed again that he is a
moro radical Federalist than Hamilton
ever dared to be- States rights" said
he, Should be preserved when they
mean the peoples rights. but not when
they mean the peoples wrongs; not
Tor Instance. when they are invoked
to prevent the abolition of child la Dor
or to break the force OF the laws
which prohibit the Importation of con-
tract labor to this country; in short
not when they stand for wrong
or oppression Of any kind or for ma
tiohal weakness or impotence at home
or abroad"
This deliverance is in utter con-
tempt and defiance of the principle Of
local government, which is a
canon OF Democracy. Mr.. Roosevelt
would take away from the people Of
the several States the right to deter
mine for themselves what Is best in
government for their own affairs and
make the national government both
judge and the jury in all such issues.
lie would not allow the several States
to make rules and regulations for
their schools. for their factories, for
their railroads, or for any other sub.
Ject that has national bearing In
his view, Federal government should
decide whether or not a given meas
ure is for the peoples rights or the
peoples wrongs and legslate accord
ingly.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made the issue and
II Democracy is true to itself and to
the republic the party will meet it in
1908 and fight it to finish. II the
Roosevelt doctrine be accepted and es.
tablished we might as well wipe out
State lines abolish legislatures and
governors. and have our laws made in
Washington and administered from the
White House.

Elkins to the Rescue.

q According to a minority report on
been completed and filed in the Senate
by Mr.. Elkfns. tho railroads are not SO
black as they are painted. Mr.. Iclkins
says that the average passenger rate
advanced slightly from 1870 to 1880
but that during the next twenty four
years there was a decline amounting
to 1856 per cent, the net decline from
1870 to 1904 being 1914 per cent. The
decline in the average rate per mile
per ton of freight was SSH per cent.
during the Years 1870 to 1901 The
report further declares that the cost
OF TRANSPORTATION In 1904 was nearly
two billion dollars less than It would
have been had the rates OF 1870 stlll
prevailed
While the freight rate decreased, the
wages of railroad employees Increased
from an average Of S567a5 in 1900 10
sGao.so in 1904. but the service in 1870,
( was SO much more efficiently organized
that the labor contributed by the aver
age elhploye accomplished 2S per cent
more in the movement of passengers
and "a per cent more in the novemcn,
OF freight than in 1880,
Another statement, which vii
DOUBTLESS be startling to many read
ers, is that the total railway capital
cation OF June 80 1904, was 4.7i les
than the commercial value Of tho rail
ways as estimated by the consu
Bureau. A great deal has been sal
and written about ''watcred stock,
but a prominent railroad man recen,
ly made the assertion that the raj
4 roads Of the country could not be r,
placed to-day for the amount OF the
capitalization, and the Elkins repo
seems to bear out that statement

City Finances.

The budget. as presented to the
Council last night by the Finance COM
mittce, is in the main highly satisfac-
tory, and is a splendid advertisement
!. for Richmond.
The report recommends a decrease
In the rate of taxation from s1.40 to
s1.36 on the hundred; yet after setting
aside the requisite sums for interest on
the public debt and for the sinking
fund, the several departments of gov
ernment, the schools and the charl-
table institutions are provided for more
literally than they were in the last
year's budget. The School Board re-
ceiyes for pay roll nearly s160,0o0,
which will enable it to pay better sal
aries to teachers. as we understand,
end there is an increase of $4,000 for
Kindergarten and manual training. AL
lowance is made for new police sta
ton. and the police pay roll is In
creased more than $4,000.
The Fire Department gets $4,000 for
4 new engine, and $1,000 for truck.
The Gas Works pay roll gets an
increase of $500. and the sum of
$4,000 is set aside as the first install
ment for the Blues armory
~ 'fhe general street Improvement fund
Is increased from 100000 to 100000.
and the Rosemary Library and several
of the eeemosynary institutions re-
Included in the budget is an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the Battle ABB
hey, while the Confederate reunion
gets $4,000 and the Jamestown Expo
sltion building $4,000.
We confess 10 disappointment that
the Board of Health gets only $4,000
for the treatment of tuberculosis, in
stead of $4,000, as asked for. This is
most important subject, and demands
cole attention of the Council. The
B ,,nshite plague is here, and it is TAX
S-lI4g off our inhabitants each year BY

money is always necessary to wage war

Compared with railroad rates
abroad, the figures In the foregoing
arc undoubtedly significant. They
show that American railways carry
freight for rates that average 57.14
Der cent. or tho average charged In
France. $3.50 per cent. of that
charged In Germany 6O.32 per cent.
OF that in Austria, 61.20 pcr cent. Of
that In Hungary, about so per cent. OF
that In Italy, and about 90 per cent.
OF that in European Russia. Since 1890
American rates have declined 1915
per cent. French rates 1854 per cent,
German rates SOC per cent. Austrian
rates 9.35 per cent, and Hungarian
rates 1914 per cent"
At last the railroads have found a
