OF course nobody expected that
President Roosevelt would keep out of
this campaign. While it is not Gus
tomary for the president of the United
States to step down to the position of
an ordinary political manager, the
Roosevelt enthusiasm has this time, as
ever before, enabled him to override
all presidents and TO abandon all sense
of official propriety. We have in pub

contrast Is a little more striking. We

United States and Roosevelt the Re
publican politician, quite as practical
as he was when he invited e. 81. Har-

Roosevelt the politician can demand

to thrust into this campaign the great
authority and the great dignity of the
Office of the president. That In itself

electorate The presidents personal
views are his own, and it would be
entirely proper for him to express

umn measure? We all know well what
would have happened. The literary ad-
venturer would have been forgotten,
but the charge would have been made
that the whole fraud or forgery had
emanated either from Mr.. Bryan HIM
self or from the Democratic national
committee. Everybody knows that the
first pages would have blazed with the
wickedness of the Democratic organi.
cation in thus forging the name of a
revered statesman to a spurious docu-
ment issued after his death.
Conserving Foraker and Haskell.
And why is it that there has been
such a tremendous cutlery about one
Governor G.. n. Haskell of Oklahoma,
who has occupied rather inconspicu-
Gus position in connection with the
Democratic national committee? The
attack upon him was originated by
William Randolph Hearst, who at the
same time attacked with equal venom
Senator J. Il. Foraker. The evidence
concerning Haskell was to the effect
that Theodore Roosevelt, the presi-
dent of the United States, said that
Frank S. Monnett, former attorney
general Of Ohio, said that a man
named Squire had said to him that
Haskell had said that he and Frank
C. Rockefeller would put up a big
sum of money to call off a certain
prosecution of the Standard Oil com
pany in the state of Ohio. One does
not have to be a lawyer to judge what
testimony of that sort is worth. But
the Republican newspapers, always
ready to say the worst Of any man
who believes in Democratic principles,
and the president of the United States,
who Isl always preaching the square
! deal, but usually dealing his cards
from the bottom of the pack, attacked
Governor Haskell on this utterly in
: consequential and unlawful evidence.
Being a man of honor, Governor Has
kell resigned his position as treasurer
of the Democratic national committee
lest he embarrass the candidate for
the presidency. But the very day he
resigned the man Squire, who was the
only authority for the Monnett affidavit.

suppose that today there are tens of

who will believe until election day
that this forged letter of Cleyeland's

We will either cure you of constipa-

The most scientific, common sense
treatment is ReXall Orderlies. Their
active principle is a very recent scien-

less and tasteless; very pronounced,
gentle and pleasant in its action, and
particularly agreeable in every way.
This ingredient does not cause any

to take as candy and are particularly
good for children and delicate per

If You suffer from chronic or habit-

and baslng his charges against them
upon merely hearsay evidence or upon
the imaginings Of his own vitality
prejudiced mind.
Mr.. Roosevelt has linked his arm
with that of William Randolph Hearst.
What Hearst has said about Senator
Foraker the president, without inves-
LEGATION, has approved. But some
years ago, when Mr.. Hearst was Il
candidate for governor of New York
Mr.. Roosevelt sent Elihu Root to ex-
press his views to the voters Of that
state. This is what Mr.. Root said:
II say to you, with his Roosevelts,
authority, he regards Mr.. Hearst as
wholly unfit to- be governor, as an in
sincere, self seeking demagogue, who
is trying to deceive the workingmen
Of New York by false promises and
false statements" A few Of the
phrases applied to Mr.. Hearst by
Root, speaking for Roosevelt, were
these: "Exploiter of sensationalism, ''
"crude, foolish visionary" 'apolc.
sizer for crime" And finally, in sum-
ming up, Mr.. Root said. II say by the
presidents authority, in penning these
words with the horror of President
McKinley's murder fresh before him,
he had Mr.. Hearst specifically in his
| mind"
But today what Hearst says of the
most stainless men in the United
States Mr.. Roosevelt accepts as gos.
pei and stamps with the hall mark OF

Pastor Will Not come.-Word from
Rev. Johannes Hurting, pastor of the
German Zion Lutheran church, at 2041
West Fifth street, is that his wife's
health is worse rather than better,
and that they will be compelled to re-
main in Germany indefinitely. So in
accordance with Rev. Mr.. Hurtzig's
Wish the Zion church is looking for a
new pastor. During the interim, the

from Clinton and Dubuque, and the
thriving work that was going on in

Zig's direction is not being allowed

her parent in which he stated that he
did not want Belle detained if she
was making an honorable living and
was not associating with bad people.
Frenkel, according to the advertising
on mis- stationery, is engaged IN Chi
cago as a fur manufacturer, but the
financial furry must have hit him
pretty hard. The telegram sent from
here by the police department telling
that his girl had been located Frenkel
refused to pay for and the telegraph
company has come back on Chief At
kinson for a settlement.

Charges.
James Fl. Wood, who says he is travel

10th streets for fast driving by Bicycle
Policeman Bobo of the first precinct, was
arraigned before Judge Aukam in the
Police Court this morning upon three
charges-fast driving, cruelty to animals
of the owner.
Following convictions in all the charges.
the defendant was committed to the work
house for four months in default of fines
aggregating $40.
Wood. while intoxicated. last evening
took possession of horse and runabout
belonging to James D. Boyd, near Penn
sylvania avenue and I'd street. He pro-
ceeded TO drive at speed estimated at
anywhere from fifteen to twenty miles an
hour all over the lower part of the city.
Later he started up New York avenue
from near 9Th street at such a rapid pace
that teams. automobiles and pedestrians
hustled to get out of his way.
The pace was so rapid that it attracted
the attention Of Policeman Bobo. who
gave chase Wood either did not see or
failed to heed Bobo'S warning to stop.
The policeman rode up to the head of the
gallOping animal and grabbed the bride.
his wheel. and was dragged some distance
before bringing the horse to a stop.
The second charge of cruelty to animals
was lodged against the defendant because
of the condition of the horse after the ar
rest. The animal was badly winded and
had been severely dashed. The runabout
was also damaged.
Later in the day, it was said. the fine of
Wood would probably be paid by friends
or relatives.
