When President Roosevelt began
putting ginger In the campaign, the
French press devoted much attention
TO the American election. II severely
tested the readers imaginative pow.
ers by trying to picture a French
president making similar "virulent
Intervention" In the election Of his
successor.
The Petit Parislen thus explains
the difference between the two re
publics;
Whereas a French president Ia
considered above all parties to which
he serves as an arbitrator, IL is a
party leader who inhablts the White
House" The Temps says President
Roosevelt acts as II he We're the can
dldato, rs II honorable scrupless had
not made him refuse third term.
France, however, should be no
more surprised at Roosevelt's lack OF
dignity and appreciation OF his high
office than America. His "interven'
ton was astonishing to the people
OF this country, too, although not Sc
much SO as to France, for the reason
that we have been led up to the sorry
spectacle In easy stages. Rooseveits
actions have all along indicated de
sire to make his Office political
rather than a national one. He Is @
narrow partisan, who should never
have been elevated to the position Of
| trust he now holds.

American railroads are complaining
all the time that they cannot lay
hands on money enough to provide
double tracks even where they are
necessary to cope with the growing
traffic. Yet reduction of eight dol.
lars a ton in the price Of steel rails
would enable the double tracking OF
more than rs per cent. more road for
exactly the same cost.
Why should the tariff favor the for
eign railroad at the expense Of the
American railroad?
Once upon a time protectionists
successfully Haunted the bogy OF Euro
pean cheap labor, and pleaded the
high tariff as a necessity to maintain
high wage and decent standard OF
living for the American skilled arti
san. But this bogy vanishes when we
consider that every employe Of the
highly-protected United States Steel
Company earns for the stockholders
an amount every year equal to his
wage.

that they do not see how the presi-

statement of old reiterated now, that
100000 was got from the Standard
Oil Company for the Roosevelt cam
paign fund of 1904, and that more
was demanded but It was refused.
There was letter Mr.. Parker re-
peats from President Roosevelt to
Secretary Cortelyou. then the chair
man. ordering him to return the $780,
OO0 but that II was not returned. Tho
Post thinks. as the president so
promptly took a hand in the Standard
OIL questions raised in the cases of
two public men recently, that It is In.
cumbent on him to explain this
Standard OIL episode also. As this
