cLINoINe no ROOSEVELT.

IT HIRD term gossip about President Roose-
Il welt does not down easily. The President
has announced his intention not to be again
candidate for the nomination for President I'M
piled with this declaration is the understanding
that he would not accept the nomination were
it handed to him. Senator Chauncey M. Depew
who seems TO be coming out of the political and
public obscurity that has surrounded him since
the life insurance company scandals, ventures the
opinion that Mr.. Roosevelt would not again ac-
cept nomination. On the other hand some of
she Democratic leaders believe that Mr. Roose-
welt could be prevailed upon to accept. The lat
est Democrat who holds to that idea is Congress
man Champ Clark Of Missouri, a warm per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Roosevelt Mr. Clark
declares that if Mr. Roosevelt were convinced
that the Republicans would nominate
called reactionary for President the chief magis-
trate would again receive the highest honor that
the party can bestow upon him.
These opinions and remarks coming every now
and then indicate the strong hold that the Presi-
dent has upon the affections of the people of both
parties. Notwithstanding the attacks and covert
assaults that have been made upon him, the Pres
ident is still a winner The people like his
fearlessness and his courageousness. They will
not want to give him up personally and they GER
tainly will not want to surrender the Roosevelt
idea. Lately other prominent leaders of the party
have been mentioned for the high office. They
have suited the socalled reactionaries, but their
names have not evoked the popular enthusiasm
that follows in the trail of Mr. Roosevelt The
president has made great impression upon the
country. lie has stood for justice between man
and man and between immense aggregatons Of
capital and the people. There is no doubt that
the Roosevelt idea is dominant and some one
embodyng the Presidents views would COM
mand the support of the voters despite all en-
deavors of the opposition to the president to un-
dermine him.

swifter. Frzthermore they insist that pas
eenger trefAc win be driven from the tro,-
ley lines in the suburban districts If
freight trains are 70 use the tracks.
The delays are already sufficiently ex-
asperating on tho electric railways with
the single track and the turnout system;
therefore, unless double tracks are con-
structod it s clear that much annoyance
must result by the presence Of two kinds
Of traffic; but there is "a public demand
for freight carrying trolley roads and tho
people will not be satisfied until the ex-
pertinent has been made
But the solution Of freight facilities in
the farming districts will not be solved by
the trolley. The rapid and growing use of
the motor car truck and delivery wagon
indicates the held ot operations Of this We
hicle IN the very near future and as soon
as good roads are given. The automobile
dray is not confined to tracks. it goes di-
rect 10 the farmers barn and unloads N
the bin of the consumer, without double
handling Of its load and in that respect is
far superior to tho trolley lines. which
can do no more than provide stations at
certain points, as is done by the rail-
roads.
France has the motor car freight sys-
TEN and It has been shown to be a very
profitable investment for the capitalists
who have been sufficiently foresighted to
see the field for this conveyance; but
France has modern roads and when better
highways are the rule and not the ex-
oeption in Delaware, the automobile truck
will be the freight car for the farmer.
Yours respectfully.

is 1T A DREAM AFTER ALL.

"A RE all the plans for new city charter, for a
revision OF the taxation system, for pro-
vision for increased revenue for the city and
State, TO end in an illusive dream and shall we
come back to the same old story of threatened
if not an actual increase in the city tax rate on
real estate? How the renters would feel the
pinchl General prosperity and a demand for
houses in excess Of the supply have already
caused lifting of the rents, and with prospect
i've or real advance in the city or county tax
rate up would soar the rents again. And the in
crease would hit those least able to bear it, but
they would not be alone affected. The merchants
and the manufacturers and all owners Of property
would be compelled to open up their pockets and
produce more for the support Of the community.

Editor The Evening Journal.
/ would advise those who have the
training of children to do first, learn to
govern yourself before you try to gov
ern them. Have reason to res-ect your
self before expecting them to respect
you. Don't say In their hearing what
you wouldn't rike to hear them say.
Never correct them when you are angry
yourself. DO not suspect them Of evil.
Expect goodness and let them feel that
you do. Pay not the slightest attention
TO talebearing. They viii learn polite
ness and kindness and gentleness a
thousand times better from your daily
example than from years of precept.

Not for many day has the State been stirred
placed fund at the disposal of the Governor TO
it is over the kidnapping Of four-year-old Hor-
ace Marvin. All the resources of Delaware have
been called into play to solve the strange disap
pearance of the boy, and the Legislature wisely
assist the detectives in their work. To those ia
miliar with the farms like that of Dr. Marvin, it
seems almost impossible that a boy could be
taken away and no one around know about it.
Travel in such places is infrequent, and any
stranger who happens along is apt to be noticed
because visitors are so seldom seen. We trust
the detectives will succeed in clearing up this
mystery, and that the guilty persons, If found be
punished to the full extent of the law Kidnap-
ping is a cruel crime, and should be halted.

Objects to Taxes.

Editor The Evening Journal.
The system of taxation we have at
present is not the best In fact it is
double taxation. As an example: The
people of Philadelphia are demanding
a SO-foot channel for the Delaware
river, to be paid for out of the National
Treasury. That is. all the people Of
the country are asked TO pay for
local Improvement. If this channel is
dug IT viii add to the land OF Philadel-
phia a value equalling in amount the
cost Of the digging Those who use
that land win he p pay for the dredging
of the river and viii also pay to the
land owner an increased rent. This
is what I call double taxation.
The correct system would take the
value created by the improvement and
the latter would then pay for itself
This could be done by collecting the
annual rent OF land for all land values
are created by The people and put It
in the treasury for public expense.
Yours respectfully,
Warren +. Lowe.

Charges against the omaha Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners that have been
lying dormant in the governors office at
Lincoln, filed with Governor Mickey by the
Civic Federation. will be revived before
Governor Sheldon. The charges allege
misfeasance in office. in that the members
of the board have done nothing to secure
the enforcement of the Sunday closing
feature of the Slocumb law and for other
improper conduct in the Office.
This determination was reached at a
meeting OF the executive committee of the
federation Tuesday morning. Attorney I.
j. Mahoney. who prepared the original
charges. is to draft supplementary charges
and file them, together with review OF
the proceedings had in the case before
Governor Mickey,
Governor Mickey heard arguments on q
demurrer to the charges during october
and took the matter under advisement. He
finally decided that he had jurisdiction in
the case, but did not hear the charges
on their merits in effect putting the mem
bers of the board on parole. 1t Is the In
tention Of the Civic Federation to push the
matter before the governor to a finish and
have a hearing on the charges as supple

concerning the present Fire and Police
board2' was asked the governor.
LAS far as 1 have seen l do not know
there is any complaint on file, but have
heard there is. l have thought, however,

to do to take up complaints which my pre-
decessor had seen fit not to pass on. II
