Washington, April 12:-While
there seems to be prevalent feeling
among public men generally and the
public outside of Washington that
President Roosevelt is quietly but eff
fectiyely planning to succeed himself
in the White House, it is true that
the President discusses with callers
who know him we'll enough to sug-
gest the subject his own unavailable
lily for the place.
1t was only a few days ago that he
told a casual inquirer that he con-
sidered the attempt to make him tier
ate and reiterate his intention not to
be a candidate as, a reflection upon his
sincerity, and one which he was in
clined to resent, and would resent, If
it was not true that his warmest we'll
wishers were among those who in
sisted upon urging him to let them
put forward his name for the nomina-
ton.
The president today told certain of
his callers from the west that even
if he landed the nomination he was
doubtful of his own election, and also
was he doubtful if the sort of cam
paign that would be inevitable would
be good either for his party or for
the country.
The president was convinced that
the fight would be made against him
personally, and would be a most bit
ter one. 1t would turn upon some OF
the public mistakes he has made, and
which he frankly acknowledged
among his friends and those en-
titled to talk with him of his past
acts. He would be held responsible
| for the reverses which have come to
individuals and for the soreness and
financiers and the hackers of special
interests in all parts of the financial
east. The fight would be made
against him in some quarters on the
Brownsville episode and the dismissal
of the negro soldiers While BE-

Iieying firmly that he Is right and did
the only thing that he could do, the
president realizes that the episode
will be urged against him.
~ The president explaind to callers
that he was much more interested
in the survival and carFying ont Of
his policies than he is in the vindica-
ton of himself at this time. Frankly,
he believes that If another admins
traitor folieys che line he has follow
ed thus far in earnestness and sin
certify, history will yindicate him and
what he has done.
~ The president says he wants a man
nominated who will urge the carry
ing forward of the Roosevelt ideas
and policies, and wants to campaign
for such a man and aid him in any
way he can in securing better rela-
tons between capital and labor and
the public and the public u.inty =.
porations
There is little doubt but the presi-
dent, while sincere at the time he
made his announcmnt, would at this
time accept the republican nomina-
ton and an election at the hands of
the people if he thought the people
would stand for it and would rally
him in the campaign.

Strange Freak of Cyclone.

The cyclone which did damage in
several middle Alabama and Georgia
counties late Friday afternoon was
guilty of the usual number of freaks
that seem part and parcel of atmos-
pheric disturbances.
A young son of Lemuel Wynn, of
Lee county, Alabama, was leaning on
a sewing machine in his fathers
house when the storm came. The
house was wrecked, and the machine
torn to fragments, but the boy. was
unhurt He had just taken of his
shoes, and they were carried a hun
dred feet by the wind. The head
board OF a bed in the house was
caught by the cyclone, and tossed in
to a swamp a half mile away. A
considerable portion of the house was
lifted by the wind and deposited in
the public road a short distance
away.
A great many outhouses were de-
stroyed. One or two persons in Lee
county were injured, but none very

appointed Senators Beard, Buckman
and West of the First as the Senate
members of the joint committee, but
Senator Beard arose in his seat and
asked to be. relieved, saying he did
not believe the committee could ac-
compIish ANYTHING without theamend-
ment in question, and the President
thereupon appointed Senator Hum
phries on the committee, and Senator
Boards name was dropped.
/ This was decidedly the feature of
the day. In the House a letter was
read from Congressman Clark to Re
preventative Dorman, expressing his
appreciation of the resolution of the
House in the peonage matter, con-
demning Barry, and containing a
most bitter denunciation of VIM. R.
Hearst. The letter was ordered
spread on the journal.
Both houses transacted consider
able routing business, and adjourned

Queer Varmint is Man,

Wouldn't there be a roar when men
went home to their meals if they had
to climb up on high stool in front
of a table on which there was no
cloth and eat their meals in that
fashion! Yet a majority of men when
they go to a restaurant to eat will
pick out the highest stool and foot
board with no cloth on it in prefer
ence to a comfortable chair and a
cloth-covered table. A man will
borrow chew of tobacco, and most
of them will set their teeth into the
plug right where some other man has
gnawed out a chew. Offer them a
piece of pie at home from which the
wife or one of the children has taken
a bite and they would boiler their
heads off. At home such a fellow
will not drink out of a glass or cup
from which one of the family has
been drinking. Call him into the
back stall of a dirty old livery barn,
pull out a bottle, and he will stick
the neck of the bottle half way down
his throat in order to get swig after
a dozen other fellows have had the
neck of the same bottle in their
mouths Bellville Times.
