NEW YORK, April 7.-On Monday
last The New York Times .ad dressed
to the editors OF. 500 Republican papers
a letter requesting the opinion of each
as to whether President Roosevelt is
as popular and as strong generally
with the voters as he was at the time
of his election.
Up to the present. sixty eight edi-
tors have replied. The answer OF the
Republicans of the country, as 1t is
confidently, eagerly. and cnthusias-
ttcally expressed by these editors is
one unanimous shout OF praise for
Roosevelt, but many of them do not
comment themselves on the third term
question. 1t is declared from every
hand that he Is stronger in the ar
fcctions Of the people than ever be-
fore. From Maine to Minnesota, these
men, SO close to public opinion. unite
in affirming that the President has SO
grown in the public confidence and
admiration since his assumption of
the Chief Maglstracy that he is now
the absolute idol of his party and Of
thousands of habitual opponents Of
his party. He is held to be the in
carnation of the popular instinct
against corporation privilege. the en-
bodiment of the Square deal" prin-
.ciple
Where he has made one enemy since
the beginning of his term of office
he has won two friends, declare with
a curious agreement in this form OF
euloSy several widely separated edi-
tors. Some note tendency to follow
Roosevelt implicitly; to believe that
whatever Roosevelt believes and does
is right because Roosevelt believes and
does It. Some perceive that the first
impulsive admiration which was given
a somewhat spectacular martial hero
has deepened into a thoughtful and
earnest trust in his conscientiousness
and on the whole his wisdom. Never
before SO strong" stronger than
when he was overwhelmingly elected"
are phrases which scarcely one Of The
Timcs's correspondents has succeeded
In avoiding.
In short, there is no escaping from,
or evading. the fact that If the Re-
publican editors of the country are
Judges of the trend OF opinion In their
party, Mr.. Roosevelt Is the object OF
an admiration which 1t would seem
no other American has ever received.
So farSas they undertake. to speak for
Democrats, these editors remark n
curious turning toward the Republican
President Of the heart OF tho Demo
cratic voters who by the thousand.
1t Is said, would prefer him to any
man the Democrats could nominate
out of their own ranks

COAL BARGE
CREWS HAVE
THRILLING FIGHT

After an exciting and perilous voyage
the two coal barges West Point and New
berg arrived In port from Philadelphia
Yesterday afternoon with the tug Salu-
tation. a new conner to these waters.
The barges had almost completed their
Journey. when Mond " night they had a
narrow escape from destruction of Long
Island The wind was blowing at tre-
mendous rate. which caused the breaking
OF the hawser that connected the
tug wdth her tows. These Lent TO SHIFT
for themselves. would have been In a
sorry plight indeed were they not
equipped with sails and steering gear.
The crews managed to keep the barges
I'm their true course. but not without great
danger and privation. The waves had
repeatedly swept into the hold OF the
barpes, destroying all the provisions
stored there, while for two days the men
went without food. To add TO the
troubles. the stoves I'm the cabin OF the
West Point were torn from their fasten-
ings and moved around helter-skelter in
that quarter OF the barge. The barges
had not been loaded 10 their full capacity
and this helped somewhat In steering and
managing the bcrges.
Yesterday morning tho gale had abated
somewhat, and when the barges had
reached the outer harbor the sea was
pretty quiet, enabling the tug TO con-
meet with the barges and proceed on her
way.

at her nome.
Having organized and elected Mrs. Rus

proceeded at once to the business of be-

discussing those things which are dear 10

Then they sang songs.

This song encouraged certain widower

The melancholy thoughts which this
song inspired were removed with great
tact by young person with experience

Then a widow sang "Since You Called
Me Dearie," which was followed by a

burden OF which was that They'll Talk

to alarm Mrs. Russell. lest she should

two Of the more nimble widows that
there was Immediately some step dane

say that II looked TO him as though they
wanted to be stepmothers and boldly
announced that he has six lonely chill
dren at home.
Widows and widowers were there from
all parts Of the city. and from Evanston
and Oak Park as well. They came at

OF them had forgotten their troubles and
all but two or three wer completely

Mrs Russell stated that all of the men
were substantial business men, and that
