Roosevelt rather than take the
chance of eight years of Taft.
The President is today arousing
more third-term enthusiasm than all
the other candidates put together
can match with opposition TO a
third term. He will have to take
some step that viii further convince
people of his irrevocable unavailable
ity, or he will be before the conven-
ton before he knows it, and there
is no gainsaying that the surest
solution of a strenuous Republican
contest would be reached
when some man with a large voice
would get on n chair at the right
moment and start a cheer for
Roosevelt.
1t is up TO the President to head
off this growing movement for him
self-if he can think Of any way to
do it-or else TO take grave chance
of stumbling into a nomination
which we believe he honestly doesn't
want.
But Just how he is to do it, we
may frankly admit we don't know.

The Demand for Roosevelt.

Most observers viii agree that the
big potentiality in the 1905 Presiden-
tial situation is still Theodore
Roosevelt The country declines to
content Itself with the assumption
that he is beyond possibility as the
candidate Of his party. 1t is going
quietly ahead with the seeming con
viction that at the right time he will
be dragoOned into leading the ticket
once more.
In this condition of affairs the
President is confronted not only by
the demand of a great mass of Re
publicans that he shall run again,
but by the wishes of ambitious poll
ticians, many of whom prefer to see
him nominated again rather than to
take the chance that he may be able
TO name Secretary Taft. La Fol-
lette and Cummins, for example,
are both fatty in the Presidential
class Both have recently declared
IN vigorous language that Roosevelt
is the man the party wants and
must have. Either of them would.
of course, 5e willing TO make an
exception in his own favor; but
neither sees much chance of that
exception being made, so they pre-

CHECK SYSTEM
ON Distributors
IS SUCCESSFUL
Postmaster Barnes De-
SireS to Continue
Use of Stamp.

Postmaster Barnes has decided 10 rec
ommend 10 the department the continu-
anca Of the system for sec ring more
accurate distribution of mail that was
put into effect April for a months
trial
For the past month everyone may
have noticed a lire OF small green or
purple letters and figures stamped
across the face of his letters. These
letters and figures are placed there by
the men who distribute letters for the
carriers. each distributor having a
stamp Of mis- own, 50 that in case Of
incorrect distribution. the fault can
be traced.
Rumors have been abroad for some
time to the effect that this system has
resulted in delaying the delivery of
mail several hours. and that the dis
tributing clerks have had 10 work ten
or more hours instead OF the customary
eight.
Postmaster Barnes said this morning
10 a Times reporter that delivSries had
been slightly delayed and that these
clerks had had 10 put in little more
time. but the good effects Of the sys-
TEN so far outweighed the evil ones
that ne had decided ~ recommend q
continuance or the system III the " eA9L4-
7TThie tie experiment has had the
effect OF slightly delaying distribution
said he. we have gained far more &C
CuTatc work than previously whereas
IL was customary TO have several nun
dred mistakes in distribution daily, re-
sulting IN delays there are now only
about thirty-five- The device enables u
TO know what kind OF work each dis
tribUteT does Under the Ole system
there was no way TO trace mistakes,
and the temptation Of distributors was
10 get their work done az quickly as
possible with the result that Il was In
accurately and In some SsSeS, careleSSly
done The device has now been used
for a month and has proved entirely
SatiSfa Glory. I shall recommend its per-
manent use. and shall con >iEUe IL until

Colonel Biddle'S Retirement.


The District of Columbia notes the
transfer of Colonel Biddle away
from the Office of Engineer Commits
sioner as the termination of a serv-
ice of unusual practical value to the
Capital For that officer has been
able to serve the District in a dozen
constructive enterprises of the first
local importance-particularly by
safeguarding its interest in the new
railroad terminals, the elimination
of grade crossings, and the construc-
ton of the new sewage disposal
system.
This has not been Colonel Biddle's
whole value. His service has been
similarly noteworthy for things he
has prevented, like the construction
of temporary sewers, and for his
espousal of causes in which he need
not officially have taken personal in
terest, like the fulfIlment of the
Park Commission plans and the con-
struction of Fairgrounds.
Though it is hard for the District
to lose such an asset, there is reas-
sUrance in the selection of Captain
Morrow as Colonel Biddle's sue
cessor- He, too, has proven his in
terest in the District, and as a sub
ordinate has allied himself with the
cause for which Colonel Biddle has
done so much. He Will begin his
service with the good wishes of the
whole community

This Much or Nothing.

That no license shall in future be
granted except to applicants having
herds free of tuberculosis
This is the key to the recon-
mendations for the betterment of
our milk supply proposed to the
new commission. 1t is either this
much or nothing. Either we must
make sure that our milk is safe
guarded or cease the pretense. If
the operation is hard upon the
dairyman, so was the operation of
the meat inspection law hard on the
butchers, and the operation of the
pure fOd law hard on all dealers in
food supplies except the dairymen.

DENIES BUCHTEL'S
RIGHT TO SPEAK

are guilty of the murder Of Governor
Steunenberg. Why should these men
say, or express the belief that these la
Dor leaders are guilty before they have
been tried on the charges preferred
against them? How Is il possible for
Governor Buchtel or anyone else to
have knowledge of what the people in
general believe. or think, a. regard TO
the innocence or gilt Of these meng I
say II is an outrage on justice for any
man 10 give out such views for publ
cation, and I would like to ask who
the governor refers TO when he says
we not only believe them guilty etc
Does he refer TO officers of Colorado
and Idaho? or does he assume the au-
thority 70 speak for all the citizens Of
ColoradO2
1t plainly shows by the remarks re-
feTred to above that Governor Buchtel
and his class are perfectly willing that
these men should be hanged without
any form of trial whatever. notwith-
standing. as he says, I'VE want them to
have a fair trial" How can we EXPECT
any Of our citizens TO have a fair trial
when high officials go on record as
saying they are guilty thereby prelude
ing public opinion? Such remarks have
at times caused many a man to meet
death at the hands OF mob. and vet
such men as Governor Buchtel are
usually the loudest in condemnation OF
mob law and lynching.

A Chance for MedicOS.

1t is a standing wonder that young
doctors of uncertain income do not
avail themselves of the opportuni-
ties always open of becoming army
surgeons. just now there is a cry
ing demand for them on the part
of the military authorities. Exami-
nations are being held at various
places this week, but for the thirty
vacancies in the grade of assistant
surgeon there are not enough can
didates to fill them. With the re-
tirement of old officers and resigna-
tiOns of others, the army is hard put
TO it to keep up its complement of
medical officers.
While il is true that q doctor can
never reap in the army the financial
rewards that he may in private prac-
tice, still a surgeon who ranks as
major is fairly well paid, the life is
not arduOus except in case of war,
and the retirement pay is comfort
able. There is no worry about an
unProductive old age. Army life is
socially attractive and often cast in
delightful places.
BY the side of the long struggle
of many an unproductive medical
career it would seem, to the out
slider at least, a very haven of rest.
Yet there are not enough aspirants
10 complete the rosters. If every
regiment had to have u lawyer, you
would find very different state of
A6airs.
