WHAT TO DO
WITH ROOSEVELT
RumOred That President
Would Not Refuse Seat
In Senate

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Wash-
ington has a hard time understanding
the demands that are constantly being
made in one part or another OF the
country that President Roosevelt shall
alter his repeatedly-avowed determi-
nation to retire from the White House
at the end of his present term and
shall consent to accept another nomi-
nation. Occasionally one hears the
charge made by some unfriendly per-
son to the president that Mr.. Roose-
welt is playing both ends again the
middle for the purpose Of securing
his own recollection, but no one In the
capital seriously believes there il any
foundation for any such assertion.
No one here doubts that the presi-
dent was sincere when he put forth
his now-famous statement on election
night in 1904 that he did not want
and would not accept another term.
Nor is there any belief that he has
since changed his mind. AS matter
Of fact 1t is pretty well understood In
Washington that the president has
other and very definite ambitions. He
wants to be q member OF the United
States senate. believing that there he
would have a better chance OF adding
to his fame than would be AFFORDED
even by another four years in the
White House.
Discussing the matter with q friend
not long ago, the president called at
tention to the fact that when he re-
tired from the White House he would
still be 10 years below the average age
OF senator's. and expressed the opinion
that in the senate there was work
worthy anf any mans ambition.
Whether Mr.. Roosevelt has thought
OF another term Ia the white House
after an interval of years Is another
matter. 1t is not unreasonable to be.
lieve that he has; indeed. should he
not have? It would be tribute to his
greatness such as no other American
ever received; something that Grant,
that great captain of the Civil war
and idol of the people, failed of at
tanning; something that would give
him unique place in the history OF
the republic.
But so far as concern 1908, practical
politicians have put Roosevelt wholly
out of the reckoning Even the
staunchest of his admirers admit that,
in view of the repeated declarations
that he was not to. be considered, 1t
would be suicidal for him to place
himself in the attitude of even a re-
ceptive candidate. They believe it
would so hurt his prestige that de-
feat would be almost his certain por-
ton.
Before President Roosevelt left for
Oyster Bay the Japanese ambassador
talked with him about the attacks on
Japanese in California and about the
destruction of their property. Aoki
automatically limited that the United
States should pay indemnity to Japan
for the San Francisco mobs' outrages.
President Roosevelt remained silent, |
and mistaking this silence for acquies-
ence in the suggestion, the ambassador
made definite proposition that the |
United States pay an indemnity. There \
was no installing the presidents atti-
tude then. He forcibly expressed dis
approval of the proposition and dis
conduct his negotiations in future with
the state department.

Eastern Reserve Question
Timely Topic Irrigation
Congress


SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 21-The
suggestion that the Eastern forest re-
serve question be discussed at the
18th session of the national irriga-
ton congress, to be held in Sacrament
to. Cal, Sept. 2-7 next, has created
much interest among prominent men
of the Eastern states who are identi-
fed with the movement to establish
reserves in the Appalachian and
White mountains. The headquarters
of the congress, which is already
open at Sacramento. has received let
tiers from all over the Eastern states
approving the suggestion and express
ing the hope that the matter will be
scheduled for discussion at the Sacra-
mento meeting.
The proposal to place this question
in the program was an expression of
the desire of the congress manage
ment to make the coming session
truly national in scope and a factor
n bringing about q widespread APP
probation of the common interest
which the East and West have in de-
yelopment of national policies Of for
est preservation. stream conservation,
control and best use, and in the
whole question of national Develop
ment of the great natural resources
Of the country, including the forests.
the waters and the lands.
Among those. who have written let

Gals on this subject are men Of high
official station. prominent manufac-
turers. agriculturists and others.
e. B. Pike. president Of the Pike
Manufacturing company OF New
Hampshire and New York. a member
OF the executive committee of the
congress-. writes: THE preservation
of the forests on the Appalachian
and White Mountain ranges viii af-
feet not only the entire Eastern
states, but the nation as a whole.
This is due to the fact that in these
ranges the water powers which give
life to some Of our greatest manu-
featuring enterprises have their
source. On the success of these en-
terprises depends largely the pros
perity of certain manufacturing sec
lions. Let the prosperity of these Sec
tions be dnmora Iized and the results
win be felt from coast to coast"
DR.. Thomas e. Will. secretary of the
American Forestry association,
writes. DTrSri e,o t;o., go e.....
very clofely connected; the woods and
waters are almost Siamese, twise. To
permit such meeting as the national
irrigation congress to pass without
discussing the relations of irrigation
and forestry would, in my Judgment,
be a serious mistake. And the most
important forestry question now be-
fore the American people is the Appa-
lachian- White Mountain question"

LOST A CHANCE,
THEN Her REASON
BrOOding Over Property Deal
Has Made Miss ThieIman
a ParOniaC

Behind the offer at public sale the
other day of the property No. 71s Tat
nall street is sad stcry-the story
of lost opportunity, recollection OF
which 10y Elizabeth Thielman, who with
her brother owns the property, has sent
the young woman to a mad house.
Several years ago while Miss Thiel-
man was i'm the best Of health. she
and her brother offered the property In
question to the STANDARD Real Estate
and Development Company for Sl7 900.
Miss Thielman agreed to accept Nthe
price for the property but before the
transfer could be made THE young
woman refused to sign the deed until
the company would take over the Ii
cense to the property, which was a
saloon, unless the company paid her
am additional $500. This the company
would not do and the deal was there
fore never consummated.
Subsequently the real estate company
instituted suit against Miss Thielman
and her brother to recover damages -of
their failure to comply with the terms
Of their agreement and this suit stands
on the court records todav.
Since that time Miss Thielman has
lost her reason. Today she is a parano
lac under treatment at the Delaware
state Hospital and in her moments Of
delirium she declares she is being rob
bed Of her property. Then she expresses
regret over hr loss OF $4,000.
Recently the property was bid up to
$500 and withdrawn. should It ever
be sold the Wilmington Trust Company
will care for the unfortunate woman
share in this portion Of her fathers
estate, but it is probable that Miss
Thielman will never enjoy its benefits
