NO ACCEPTANCE FOR ROOSEVELT.

President Roosevelt will not accept
nomination for another term IL the Re-
publican national convention should
name him as the candidate. In a state
inent by Mr.. Roosevelt last night he
makes this announcement, and says
that his decision is unalterable. He
correctly says, what the STAR has
affirmed, that he is now serving his
first term. implying that there would
be no question as to his eligibility saw
as to the spirit of the unwritten law
f%orbidding a third consecutive presi-
Dental term. But he regards the spirit
of that law and will strictly abide by 1t.
There has been much heated contro-
versy over the question of the possible
u~ofnination of President Roosevelt for
another term. The President has been
accused by the commercialized press of
New York of intriguing for the nomi-
nation, Of making plots and machina-
tons, and of doing other dark deeds
looking to another term. There has
been silence In the White House and
mystiication everywhere else. Wall
Street has quaked with apprehension,
and It's fears were sympathetically re-
flected in the pages of the Sun and
Times and World.
But the next worst thing to Roose-
welt for these a%pprehensive interests is
q Roosevelt candidate. and the shafts
aimed al Roosevelt will be sharpened
anew for Secretary Taft. The fire of
the Wall Street organs will be concen-
trated upon the hurly Secretary now
that his redoubtable chief is out of
the way.

In a criminal case Tweed was found guilty

THE AMERICAN MARRIAGE.

NJ. Alexandra Ular, a French news
paper editor, now in New York, sums
up the attitude of the American man
and woman towards marriage very
c~ynically and concisely. In an inter-
view with one of Gotham's leading
LADY Journalists he gives 1t out that
the American man marries for love and
the American woman for money, and he
qualities the pleasing tone of his ref
enc to the superior masculine obe-
dience to sentiment by averring that
in too many cases the man is too busy
making money to give thought to love.
By virtue Of a residence in this coun-
try extending over q period of some
twenty-four hours, M. ular was doubt
less eminently qualified to size us up
and epitomize our views in regard to
stone. Perhaps he obtained his ideas
from a seeing New York" tourist car.

EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN JA1Ls.

The Rev. Samuel j.. Barrows, an ex-
pert penologist and the president of the
International Prison Congress, has just
drawn some noteworthy comparisons
between European and American jai1s,
following his recent visit to thirty-six
Of the Leading penal institutions across
the Atlantic. Some of the differences
are in favor of the European method.
and might be noted with advantage by
our own jail administrators. The largest
distinction between the two systems is
that, where in America the tendency is
to congregate the prisoners, in Europe
The cellular or separate plan is followed.
lighted, and DR.. Barrows draws the
conclusion that the best jails of Europe
are better thar our best in that they
provide "a complete separation of jail
prisoners in well-lighted cells" Having
in mind the recent revelations of the
congestion in New York city prisons,
where the inmates are forced to sleep
two and three in a single badly lighted
and lily equipped cell, this observation
OF DIR. Barrows seems particularly
timely.
There is also material for thought in
the comparison of European and Amer
lean ways of exercising prisoners. In
Europe exercise in the open air is re-
quired for from half an hour to an hour
every day, and exercise yards are sup
piled for the purpose. In many Amer
lean jails there is no means provided
for outdoor exercise, Still another
European policy which We might do
we'll to copy is that which allows pris-
oners awaiting trial to work for reason
able wages. This, in view of u sup
posed fundamental principle that a
man is innocent until he is proved
guilty, seems no more than simple JUS
tice.
