Roosevelt's Legal Error.
When William S. Rossiter, named by
President Roosevelt as successor to
Public Printer Stillings, recently re-
moved, called at the, treasury depart
ment to file his bond the officials de-
clined to accept It on the ground that,
while under the law the president had
the power to suspend the public print
.er, by that very act the assistant to
that official automatically became the
incumbent Of the office. The Office Of
printer is appointive by the president,
but necessary of confirmation by the

mer deputy, the holder of the office
pending the presentation of Rossiters
name to the senate and his confirma-
ton by that body.

that complied with the specifications.
1t was part of the agreement that
none of the particulars Of the bids We're

presided over by Father Paul, head Of
the Greynnoore convent at Garrison.

were for grand larceny in connection
with the sale of a block of stock Of
the National Bank Of North America
to ex-Justice O'Brien. At the same
time the federal grand jury was TAX
ing a hand in the case and Feb. IL
returned indictments charging him
with Decentralization and misappro-

Many other criminal charges were pill

Morse was really returning.

In the state supreme court at New
York Feb. II Justice Blschof imposed
fines of S1o0 on two members Of
Typographical Union No. and on

co company. on q charge Of conspiracy
to reduce the price OF raw tobacco.
Ohio Trust indictments Void.
The supreme court of Ohio has de.

decision is based on the ground of In
deiniteness In that the indictments

Ing the definite times of violation and
because the law makes each days VIC
lation separate offense, and hence
the basis Of a separate indictment.

Secretary Ernest BONN Of the Cen
trail Federated union has said In an
ptticial statement that the number Of
unemployed in New York city approx
mates $4,000. Leaders of the union

No Demand For Locomotives.
The Cooke and Rogers branches of

Paterson, n. J.. have recently laid off
several hundred more men, SO that, of
the 5000 ordinarily employed at these
plants only half are now working, and
these are mainly engaged In making
repairs to old locomotives. The reason
given at both shops is that no orders
for new locomotives are coming in
either from domestic or foreign roads.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
A Call to Action.

The greatest danger to the democracy
of Iowa is its tendency to take things
for granted. A year ago one gof the
best democrats in Iowa assured us that
Chairman Miller was dead duck. =
He assured us that we were wasting
time on him. Some of our readers will
recall that we protested against this
view of the matter.
Miller'is not dead duck. We will
admit that he ought to be. He is not
a dead duck because he receives the
support of thousands of democratic re-
dictionaries all over Iowa. These reac-
tionaries are forever vigilant. If Bry-
an democrats were half SO vigilant Iowa
would soon be in the democratic column.
The over-confdence of Bryan demo-
Gratis is something alarming. They are
cock sure that Bryan will be nominated
unanimously and that he will be elect
ed. Their confidence arises from lack
of knowledge of politics. They do not
seem to know that the corporation dem
ocrats are and have been for the past
year as busy as bees. They are now
bringing out favorite son candidates in
every state they can to divide the
Bryan vote in the convention.
In New York they have brought out
Chandler; in Delaware, Gray; in Vir-
ginia, Daniels; in Ohio, Harmon; in
M;,noeo4o Tobreo,,. ord ,,,b o,o1,or tbox,
can influence the local situation they
are going to do So The object is ap-
parent to any man who has made a
study of politics. If they can make it
appear on the first ballot that Bryan is
a weak candidat they will begin on
delegations that are not instructed to
influence them for some other candi-
date What cannot be influenced other
wise will be an object of purchase.
If the republicans should nominate a
s'safe" man for the interests, as they
are practically certain to do, these in.
terests would gladly spend two or three
millions of dollars in the democratic
national convention to prevent the two
thirds vote necessary to nominate Mr..
Bryan. They could not make a better
investment of their money. 1t would
be the best investment they have made
since they raised five million dollars
the last few days of the 1896 campaign
to buy five states to beat Bryan.
Iowa democrats must do their duty.
A delegation must be sent to Denver
that is known to be incorruptible; a
delegation composed of men of ability
who are able to take the floor and fight
to finish any attempt of the corpor-
alton element to get control. They
must be men who have always been
right; as past record is the bestguaran-
ty of future conduct. They must be
pledged, for that is the only way to
guarantee the rank and file that it's
interests will be subserved.
In 1904 we sent an instructed delega-
ton to ST. Louis, but two of the dele
gates were traitors. These two trait
ors have been special pets of Chair
man Miller ever since. Iowa demo-
Gratis should see to it that no traitor is
placed on guard. Democrat Chronicle.
