To the editor of rhe Sun-Sr: When
Theodore Roosevelt failed to succeed
himself as president the fourth day OF
last March The country was much like
school that hes got rid of its bully.
Since the dismissal of Roosevelt there
has been no displSy Of the tanrums in
the White House. 1t Is unthinksbe
that mao with the training Of William
Howard Taft should conduct himself as
Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft served bis apprenticeship
at the bar, where he won distinction,
and afterward he showed himself on the
bench not unworthy as one Of the judges
of the United States.
His training necessarily gave 10 Mr..
Taft external dignity of demeanor. One
cannot imagine M. Taft indulgiDg 10
billingsgate in a state paper.
Throughout the whole course of Mr..
RooseveIps domination OF the govern
! meLt he was insisteut on what he termed
"my p1licies." Dlvested OF all theiI
accidents and confined exclusively ia
their substance those "policies" meant
nothing else then the glori6cstion-oi
Theodore Roosevelt.
He WAS a sufferer from egomsnia 10 a
very aggravated form, and his mental
infrmiy prevented him from looking
at any subject save as it might affect him
self.
As result he advocated contradic-
lions, but always in such q way that the
| unihinking failed to preceive the under
lying motive of all bis sdvocacy-tht
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF Theodore Roosevelt.
When the country declined 10 be
ruled by him for another term bis
egomania caused him to become the
laughing stock Of all reasonable Ameri-
cans.
Mr.. Taft, we'll equipped lawyer,
came TO the White House with q clear
conception of the threefold character oil
the government of the United States,
viz the legislative, the judicial ard the
executive; each independent and yei
coordinate.
For q president suffering from a
mental disease aud without TIA ming to
set at defiance the Constitution Of the
United S ates, charity may have some
thing to say; but for q normal mau,
sipgulsrly fitted by circumstances to fll
the { flee of president, who shows dis
position to encrosch on either the legis'
laliye or the Judicial department of the
government there Gao be no charity.

Convict Killed
in Battle with
Sheriff's Posse
Fugitives from Oregon Penitentiary
Are Overcome by Officers After
Desperate Running Fight.

SALEM, Ore Oct 1.-THE battle that
began last night between a sheriffs posse
of sixty men and three escaped penitentiary
convicts was resumed early today with the
result that one of the convicts is dead
and another seriously wounded. A third
was seriously wounded last night.
The dead man is George Carter, sem
fenced from eastern oregon for horse
stealing. George Duncan was shot and
probably will die. He also was serving a
sentence for horsestealing and is believed
to have been Carter's partner. Albert Fer
ris is in serious condition. He was serv-
ing sentence for burglary. The men had
not moved any considerable distance before
daylight and were soon located, making
their way upstream and carrying Duncan
on a stretcher. The posse began shooting
hitting almost at the first fire. When the
posse closed iIi on the fugltives Carter was
dead and the other two were too badly
injured to make any further resistance.

II National Guard

State Militia Must Conform to
Regular Army Regulations to
Get Aid from Congress.

WASHINGTON, Oct H.-January 81 next
will be a critical date in the history of
the National Guard, for thereafter no por-
ton of the money appropriated by con-
gress for the support of the militia can
be paid to any organization that fails to
conform to the standards of the regular
army.
Next year, for the first time in its his
tory, the militia, or so much of 1t as
remains under the caption of the National
Guard" will be found armed with the
latest pattern of militia rifles. clothed from
head to foot in regular army gear. sup
piled with all regular equipment and with
ranks filled to the requirements Of the law.
The improvement in conditions has been
general but markedly so in the south,
which had formerly been regarded as q
weak spot by the strict discipllnarians OF
the regular army, who felt chat in this
section undue Importance had been giver
to the social and club features by the
militiamen at the sacrifice of military
quality.
Though lacking the massive brigades and
divisions of the more populous northern
states, the militia companies in a number
of the southern states are now reported
by the inspecting officers to be in very
satisfactory condition of conformity to
army standards
The west also is doing WELL though there
are some spots regarded as weak, notably
in Nevada, where, It is said, there is not
single company Of the National Guard
able to establish a claim to a dollar of the
large annual appropriations made by con-
gress for the support of the militia.

KING EDWARD ALSO CRITICISED
british Monarch Held Responsible for
TrOubIe-sociaIist Heaps Abuse
Upon Rulers and Calls Russian
Emperor ''Dirty Monster"

LONDON Oct 1.-THE red flag was
raised in London this afternoon and a
large mob moved upon the Spanish en-
bassy to make demonstration of its dis
approval of the execution Of Prof. Fran
cisco Ferrer, the convicted revolutionist
at Barcelona a few days ago. Several
bodies of police were stationed at the APP
proaches to the embassy and drove off the
crowds in their usual bloodless, effectual
way Considerable excitement and un-
easiness pervaded the neighborhood. The
groans and hootings were plainly heard in
the embassy and at Buckingham palace
nearby.
No one was injured seriously, although
the mounted police rode against the crowds
and scattered them several times.
The trouble began with a mass meeting
in Trafalgar square, which was organized
by several socialist ard labor bodies. Sew
eral hundred members of these organiza-
tions marched to the square, carrying red
flags draped with crepe and bearing in
scriptions denouncing King Alfonso. A
black -bordered banner was raised against
the Nelson column with big letters that
could be read from afar:
ITO He'll With the Murderer Alfonso"
Murder HOrrifies Europe.
After ]. F. Green, secretary Of the
Friends of Russian Freedom" had called
the meeting to order he read telegram
from the Countess of Warwick, saying:
mo words are too strong to express
Europe's horror at the murder of Ferrer"
Several laborite members of Parliament
delivered strong orations. Victor Grayson
Of Manchester, the socialist member,
capped the climax by declaring that IL the
~ Of
from his body 1t would not pay half the
price of Fevrer's life. He called the Rus
sian emperor dirty monster" and said
that King Edward, who could have pre-
vented the exe-ation, was responsible for
whatever might happen In England as a
result OF IL. He demanded the expulsion
of the Spanish ambassador.
Strong resolutions were adopted before
the meeting ended. ,Sevetal thousand per-
sons assembled in the square, the majority
OF them attracted by the same curiosity
that would take them to the suffragette
demonstrations The socialist societies,
carrying their banners, then marched in
good order to the Spanish embassy, sing
ing revolutionary songs and hooting King
Alfonso. A great rabble accompanied them,
filling the streets.
! 1t was dark when they reached the open
square in front Of the embassy and they
found that the square was filled with
platoOns of police. The embassy windows
were dark and there was no sign of life
there. The police would not let the pro-
cession enter the square or even stop.
The crowds were turned back and kept
moving up Victoria street toward the Par
Lament buildings, singing, shouting and
groaning. The reserves were then brought
up ana they drove the mob into the side
streets, dispensing it without serious
trouble.
