Plat and Roosevelt.

The claim that Theodore Roosevelt Is the
political product of Thomas C. Plat, and
that the creator deplores the work Of his
hands, has often been made. If, as is
now reported, Mr.. Plat himself confirms
the story, We have proof that a broken
man may console himself with some very
thin oretensions.
That the republicans Of New York, then
largely influenced by Mr. Platt were glad
to turn to Mr.. Roosevelt in 1898 In their
gubernatorial difficulty Is true The Black
administration had divided the party. and
a new leader was necessary. 1t required no
deep sagacity to pick him out. Mr.. Roose-
Welt, fresh from Cuba, and before the Gu
ban campaign favorabIy known in the
state, was above all others the man, The
party's strait was illustrated by the fact
that with even SO attractive a candidate as
the Rough Rider the majority obtained at
the polls was small. ..ts
Such a victory. achieved within eighteen
months of the republican national conven-
ton, set everybody to specializing about
Mr.. Roosevelt's future His high ambition
was known, and, as everybody also knew,
1t led to the White House. But as Mr. Nc
kinley's denomination was assured, Mr..
Roosevelt's admirers proposed him for Sec
ond place in 1900, with the right of sue
cession In 1904.
Mr.. Platt and his lieutenants in New York
soon fell in with so much Of the plan as
related to 1900. Mr.. Roosevelt at Albany
would not play their game, and they wanted
to get him out of the state. But the sug-
gestion was agreeable to neither Mr. Roose-
welt nor the Mckinley people. The young
governor Of New York wanted another term
at Albany, and Mr.. Hanna. who was to
manage the Mckinley campaign. wanted a
very different man for Mr. McKinley's run
ming mate.
Right here, as Charles P. Taft says about
his brothers boom in Ohio. the people STEP
ped In and led the leaders. If the contest
at the Philadelphia convention had been be-
tween Mr.. Platt who wanted, and Mr..
Hanna who did not want. Mr.. Roosevelt
nominated. Mr.. Hanna would have won
But Mt. Piatt was no more than fly on
the wheel of the Roosevelt coach. The
young republicans all over the country had
taken up the cry for Mr.. Roosevelt, and
silenced his objection as they did that OF
Mr.. Hanna. They made the nomination for
Vice President; and while Mr.. Mckinley did
not need to be strengthened before the coun-
try Mr.. Roosevelt brought to the ticket
some of Its most enthusiastic support. The
popularity which had carried everything be-
fore 1t at the convention helped to sweep
the deck in the campaign that followed

Bosses.

This is hardly the right time for the Nc
Clellanites to insist upon the retirement Of
Boss Murphy from the leadership of Tam
many Hall. Such bosses as have recently
been retired seem to be coming into their
own again. Look at the situation in Phfla-
delphia. Look at Cincinnati, where the
word of Mr.. Cox is so potent one finds It
difficult to believe that his rule as q boss
has ever been suspended. Verify 1t would
appear as II we might have the bosses all
ways with US. Death alone seems to be
able permanently to down them. The Tam
many brand - especially tenacious. Gus

Decentralization.

They tell hs that the District will be Reyn-
oldsized some day;
It's something ef1icacious. though a trife
hard to say.
All the mayors of the country, from Pohick
to Kankakee,
Are up and taking notice, just as hopeful
as can be.
Our leadership should go to one who for
the task prepares
By conscientious study Of some far-off
towns affairs;
Some sudden. stalwart solon, who is forced
upon the scene
BY radical upheavai or the might of q
machine.
Tom johnson, out at Cleveland, cries, "A
jocund fate prepares
The way for taximeters charging only g.
cent fares!"
And from Chicago comes a yoice-'tis that
of Mr.. Dunno,
I'VE staunch M. O.'s will yet step forth and
show the, world some fun! 80
Mcclellan, of New York, the plan must
heartily applaud.
'Twere fine to rule city where nobody
mentions ''fraud.'
And Schmitz Of San Francisco, as he views
the prospect Ger. .~'z
IL sure he'd teach US things Of which we
never dreamed before.
And out in Philadelphia you can hear poor
Weaver say,
IT'S like the trump of Gabriel heard on
resurrection day!'
The mayor Of Glen Echo cries, Il yet shall
show my power!
All motormen shall wear dress suits and
make four miles an hour!"
While out Of Brownsville comes this hint,
My gait at last I'll catch.
Whenever July the 4th comes round I'll run

and ease,
With little group Of courtiers to say

With none to curb his actions. criticise him

At present we're contented, though little
understood;
But wait! Just walt and see US grow when
we are Reynoldsised!

Nothing In the situation of the countries

the self-restraint Of Mexico under the goad
OF Guatemala. Mexico has SO entirely re-
heved itself Of the common aspersions as to
the instability of the Latin-American gov
ernments that 50 long as II continues upon
its course Of pacific progress there will al
ways be encouragement to hope other
states below 1t will likewise come to a con-
dition Of political efficiency. It would be
most unfortunate for the war spirit to be
revived In the country OF Diaz Once bel
ligerency were given the reins there would
be no telling when the thirst for the MILL

Tales Of the Alhambra.

There ID good ground for anxiety for the
fate OF the Alhambra, that noble group Of
buildings at Granada that constitutes one
OF the most important relics OF the Moor
ish civilization In Europe. An appeal has
been made by the local authorities for as
sistance from Madrid. and II II suggested
that the entrance fees paid by tourists

tunately the civilized world has little guar
antee either in the activity OF the Span
ish or In their modern engineering capa-
city for the proper preservation Of these
famous ruins.

The happy arrival OF that distinguished
officer and approved good soldier, Gen.
Kurolki, in Washington, looms large as an
event Of more than ordinary Significance
even In this season of International good
fellowship. The welcome that the indi-
vidual and the warrior has earned is, let
Us say in all sincerity. not q mere formai-
ity Of the protocol, but an open-hearted ex-
precision Of the admiration and respect all
Americans feel for an exceptional man who
in the hour Of his country's peril performed
his whole duty In an exceptional way.

Memorial Resolutions.
ROBERT TRTLEy.

At the last regular communication
of Pennington Lodge No. 1872 A. +.
az A. NJ, II was announced that our
brother Robert Tetley had departed
this life. Your committee appointed
at that time suggest that memorial
page in the minutes Of this Lodge be
dedicated to him.
For a number Of years past Brother
Robert Tetlcy took an active Interest
in the advancement OF the principles
of Free Masonry, through long period
serving this Lodge as Secretary. He
was ever jealous in advocating and
praclicing that charity which is one "i
the princlpnl tcncls Of our institution,
aud which wc are taught to regard rs
the foundation OF Free Masonry, second
in importance only to belief in Deity.
lhis Lodge hereby expresses It's np.
probation Of the sterling worth OF our
deceased brother, his valuable ser.
vices to the fraternity aud the bcnc-
fetal influence that lives and still
speaks, he being dead
We also hereby extend to his be-
reaved family, whose loss is so much
greater than ours, our sincere sympa-
thy and our desire to fulfill to them
every obligation incumbent upon those
bound to him by the ties of our fra
! tcrna association.
We would further suggest that this
action of the Lodge be cngrosSed and
transmitted to the family of our de.
ceased brother, and that it also be
published in the local papers.

ARE NOW ARTEslAN WELLS,
One Curious Result of the Earthquake
at San Francisco.

Il has Just been discovered that tho
upheaval of April s did funny things
TO the wells In the courtyard at the
rear of the San Francisco mint, says
the Chronicle of that city. For years
prior to April is these had been ordi-
nary. well behaved wells, yielding
water plentifully when steam pump
was employed. But now they are
spoutlng artesian wells, from which a
steady stream of water flows when
no pumping is done This was discov.
cred when the pump was taken out for
repairs. the courtyard being flooded
within a short time.
The wells were bored many years
ago. and are about l75 feet in depth.
There was apparently subterranean
connection between them, for the
pumping of water from one lowered
the water in the other. Normally, the
water was within 80 feet of the sur
face. and that was the condition when
the pump was taken out last March
Recently. for the first time since
March, the pumps were again re-
moved. when It was discovered that
the water flowed freely.
