COR SOBER CHAUFFEURs.

In the rule book of every important
railroad in the United States is a reg
ulation- forbidding the use of intoxi-
cants by employees while on duty.
Many OF them forbid the use of any
alcoholic beverages by employees at
any time. whether on or off duty. The
viola tor of the rule renders himself
liable TO immediate discharge.
A New York state senator, who is
familiar with thete rules, is preparing
bill for submission to the next leg
islature making il a misdeameanor> for
a professional chauffeur or any one in
charge of an automobile TO drink in
toxicants while in charge of the ear
He believes. and his belief is shared
by most people. that many autobomile
accidents are caused by the ever
indulgence Of chauffeurs in intoxi-
cants. Said the senator:
I am endeavoring to frame a bill so
that it will include all classes of per-
sons. 1t is no part of my purpose to
shut eff professional chauffeurs and
leave the wine drinkers out The law
must be for all if for any. Many of the
accidents are undoubtedly caused
through the unsteadness of the driv-
ers hands. and it is this the proposed
law will, my constituents hope, RENE
dy.
Care will have to be exercised in the
drawing of the bill to avoid infringing
upon personal rights. | shall be glad
to hear from automobilsts upon the
matter before completing the bill.
hope 10 get some hints of value from
those most vitality interested. / al
ready have the opinions of residents
of my district. and shall be glad to
hear the other side
The senator is unauestionably right.
A drunken chauffeur has no more bus
mess at the steering wheel OF an auto
mobile than a drunken engineer has
at he throttle of an engine. The en-
CINE has at least the advantage of
being unable to deviate from it's
course unless there is an obstruction
on the track ahead. The automobile,
in the hands of drunken driver, may
take up the entire highway and so en-
danger the lives of every driver and
every pedestrian upon it.
The same restrictions should be
placed upon the chauffeur, be he pro-
fessional or amateur, that are placed
upon locomotive engineers. There is
no doubt but that many serious acct
denLs would be avoided il this were
the case. not only In New York. but
throughout the country.

TEST AND TEMPTATION.
Roosevelt Facing Risk Never Before
Presented to an American.
BROOKLYN Ea gle.

(BrOOkiNn Eagle.
Theodore Roosevelt has unmistak a bly,
said that he will not allow a renomina-
ton of himself for president or accept
il if il be made. He said this the night
of his election in 1904. and he said it at
the instance or instigation of nobody.
1t was his own unprOmpted and spon-
taneous declaration.
Nevertheless this statement by. him
has never been repeated by him for
publication, and he has not, so far as
known, rebuked those who have pro-
tested against it TO him. Nearly every
Republican tatesman or politician on
confidential terms with him has fol-
lowed a visit to him with a declarat ton
that he will, or should. or must, be
renominated. in spite of his single and
signal refusal to be. Those men have
either discounted his remuneration or
they have spoken with confidence of
peremptorily overruling it.
Mr. Roosevelt's adherence TO his re-
fusal or his forced or voluntary aban-
donment of il is a Republican mat
ter. We prefer. for the sake of the
symmetry of his fame. he should keep
his word. We are far from maintain
ing that, should he yield to his party's
demand, he would SO break his word as
to carry against him the moral imputa-
ton with the violation of another kind
of promise would imply or establish.
Renomina ton for the presidency is
a matter at least of two-the man and
his party. More than once the man
has forced the party. Far more than
once the party has forced the man, as
in the case of Seymour's nomination in
1868: of Clay's last nomination, in 1S4S,
and OF Washington's second nominal
ton, in 1892.
Conceivably, Mr.. Roosevelt might be
rushed" against his will. under cir
cEmstances which would generate
many excuses or attempted justifica-
tions which would be oharitably
judged. There would not be wanting
those who would say that he had
meant to effect denomination, by and
when renouncing il. But that might
only reveal in his critics the casuistry
or the cunning they charged on him.
Not a few linn themselves when they
think they portray others.
A third term has been renowned by
several. but it has been declined by
none. for nomination for it has never
been made. Mr.. Roosevelt. If arbtrar-
lily nomina ted for what he has declared
would, practically, be third term.
would face a distinction, a temptation
and a risk never before presented to an
American.
There should be hope, for his best
sake. that he will not be renominated,
or. If renominated, that he will refuse

dealers making the cut announce that
this price is either for wood in four
