A 7 noon of March 4 the admins
~ tration of Theodore Roosevelt
as president of the United
States will close. He will then
have been in Office seven years and
six months, lacking ten days. From
the night Of his wild ride down Mount
Marcy, during which he came into the
highest Office in the world, to the pres
ent hour his administration has been
striking, not to say spectacular. It is
yet too early fully to measure either
his work or his influence. That car
only be done by the future which can
know the effects of the causes he has
set up and can view him with dis
sible. All that can be done at this
time is to recount the things for
which he has stood and to give the re-
suits he has accomplished so far as
they are apparent. Whatever may be
his place in history, he has certainly
filed large angle in the public vision
Of his own day. Despite the opposi-
ton of powerful interests and the col
umns Of abuse that have been aimed
at him, Theodore Roosevelt has had a
larger personal following in his own
country and has aroused more inter-
est in the world at large than did any
other president while in Office, with
the possible exceptions of Washington
and Lincoln.
Mr.. Roosevelt's policies and activi-
ties naturally fall into two general d.
visions-those that are political and
Official and those that are not political
or that fall outside of the ordinary
sphere Of presidential duties. 1t goes
without saying that the first class by
far exceeds the other in bulk and
number Of items. It is questionable,
however, whether it has had greater

New Organixation Hailed with DELIGHT

By Associated Press Correspondence.
Christiania, Feb. 1O.-There has
been widely published throughout
Norway the manifesto of an organize
ton formed here by representatives
from all parts of the country to COM
bat the prohibition movement. It
contains the signatures of $50 promi
nent men and women, seventy of them
physicians. It invites every COM
munity to organize against the agrees
sive prohibition party.
Its program is to protect individual
and commercial liberty, to oppose the
misuse of intoxicating drinks, to erect
asylums for drunkards and to spread
the knowledge of sound principles of
living, of health and hygiene.
The new organization will not be
affiliated with any political party, but
will prepare to fight the prohibitionists
at all local elections. Its motto is,

guilty. The grand jury was in session
indeed, had about finished its labors
and there had been no reason for de-
lay. All necessary witnesses for the
state were on the ground, and Fielder
for his part had no others to summon.
So that when DR.. Brent one keen fore
noon swung himself off Pullman at
the station, returning from his ten
days absence, he found the town
thrilling with the excitement of the
first day Of the trial. Before he left the
station he had learned Of Prendergast's
death and accusation and knew that
Tom Fielder had come to the prisoners
defense. DR.. Brent had taken no stock
in the young lawyers view of Hugh
Htires.
He betook himself to the filed court
room. The court had opened two hours
before and half the jury had been Sc
lected. His attention was given first
to the bench where the prisoner sat
and second to chair close to the rail-
ing beside Mrs. Halloran's, where a

light veil.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

splotches to dim his glory, the other
Iactlon declaring that he is an imp
from the pit who only poses as re-
former the better to work his diabolical
ends. From either the angel or devil
theory it is we'll to steer clear. What
ever else Theodore Roosevelt is, he is
a man-"an average man raised to the
nth power" some one has called him,
but at any rate man.
1t is but natural that one with so
many contradictions in his character
should show some anomalies in his re-
suits. Here is one, and, while have
not seen it before stated, it seems to
me the most striking Of his career:
That while he belongs, par excellence,
to the type Of man who does things,
his own chief contribution to the world
Is not in what he has actually accom-
plished, but in his influence; not In the
things done, but in the things advo-
Gated; not in what he has finished, but
IN what he has begun and left for
somebody else to finish With a man
who has entered so many fields this
Is necessarily the case. What he has
lived to see fully carried out during his
own administration has been inf1nites-
1mal compared to what he has stood
for. His enemies charge that his forte
is one Of promise rather than perform
ance. This is scarcely just. He has
performed many things and put other
things in the way Of being performed
In the future. Yet it is true-and here
Is the anomaly-that, while he is a
man of deeds, his chief influence on
the world will come from his ideals
and attitudes rather than from work
actually done

or otherwise, affects all lands.
Advocate Of Many Policies.
Among the nonpolitical questions
with which President Roosevelt has
been most prominently identified, some
of them to the extent of making them
almost synonymous with his name, are
the square deal, the simple life, the
strenuous life, clean sport, anti-nature
taking, anti-race suicide, peace, strike
arbitration, reformed spelling, conser-
walton Of natural resources, irrigation
and Improvement Of farm life. It is
with this side of his administration
that propose to deal, reserving his
political policies possibly for a later
article. It may be said that the Pana-
ma canal and child labor belong also in
the nonpolitical division, but as these
nave been drawn more or less into
partisan controversy I prefer to treat
them under the other head. The 18TH
milan canal was discussed long before
Roosevelt. and child labor legislation
was also advocated before he took it
up, nor has he made it especially one
Of his policies.
In order to be perfectly frank, it
may be well to say here that with
some of Mr.. Roosevelt's governmental
policies, or, rather, with some Of his
methods and tendencies, the writer
has not been in thorough accord, while
with his nonpolitical and humanitarian
projects am in hearty agreement.

lame of Theodore Roosevelt in future
Is the square DEAL This he has reiter-
ated so often in word in act and in his
attitude toward every question that
the phrase, though in use centuries be-
fore he was born, cannot now be men,
toned without bringing up thought
of him. He is as much identified with
it as is the name Of Lincoln with 'gov-
eminent of the people. for the people
and by the people"
The presidents advocacy Of the sim
pie life has faded somewhat from the
public mind amid the other multifari-
GUS issues he has brought to the front,
and yet it was due to him and to the
encouragement he gave Pastor Charles
Wagner, author Of a book on the SUBJ
ject, that the movement was given
such powerful impetus in the United
States. Mr.. Roosevelt not only preach
es. the simple life, but lives it. He
spends all the time possible with ma
ture and exercises regularly. Contrary
to the popular conception, he is most
methodical in his habits and husbands
every moment Of his time.
The strenuous life is, Of course, only
another name for Roosevelt, as much
a part Of his identity as the "big
st1ck,' the rough riders and the
Ananias club. It is a portion of his
gospel Of doing things which he
breaches not only for the individual,
but for the nation. Striving, energy,
manhood. ambition, accomplishments
these spell his creed. Roosevelt chases
our old friend, 1nglorious Ease, and
his son, the Mollycoddle, out of the
back door and gives them a taste of
the joy OF action. One of his pet
aversions is the chap who is mot
worth his SALT Roosevelt is the
apotheosis Of the type Of man who
works, hustles, "gits thar" He has
nothing of the philosophical and poet
zeal in his makeup. If his idea of
things could be summed up in a SEN

progress and keep going.

SEATTLE EXPOSITION.

Mrs. Frank Newton Writes Entertainingly
of the Big Show.
Seattle, WASH, Feb. l, 1909.
To My Princeton Friends: l sup
pose you have heard that We are
going to have big exposition in
Seattle this year? I have not written
to you since came here and I
thought 1 would tell you something
about Seattle's spirit.
Our big fair will be ready on time.
I have been out to the grounds several
times recently and the work shows
remarkable progress. The last time
I was out nearly all of the exposition
streets had been paved with asphalt
and they were getting ready to build
the main entrance gates. The expo
sition will be held on the campus of
the state university and many of the
buildings will be permanent. Just in
side the main entrance stands the
auditorium and directly across the
street the fine arts building. Both will
be used by the university. The site
for the United States government
building is not far from the audito-
rum. The Philippine building will
soon be ready to receive exhibits.
The Alaska building and the main ex-
hibit palace are also nearing CON-
pletion. The government buildings
will be ready to receive exhibits not
later than May l. The main court of
the exposition is simply beautiful. In
the center of this asphalt-paved court
are the Cascades and Geyser basin;
on either side stands the manufac-
lures, agriculture, mines and fisheries
buildings, all structures following the
French style of architecture, and the
picture is one of dazzling beauty
throughout. The California and Ore
gon buildings are receiving exhibits,
and the other structures will soon be
completed.
The grounds are in the very heart
of forest and border on two lakes.
The mountains are visible from the
grounds. Mt. Rainier is part of the
main picture of the exposition. You
see Mt. Rainier is the highest peak in
the United States and we are proud to
have the mountain in our state, and
more proud that the snow-capped peak
is always in full view from Seattle
and the exposition grounds.
Well, perhaps I may write again
when I get something of interest, so
hoping you will print this in our good
old home paper, the Princeton Union.

The Judges Explanation.

There's prominent judge living in
the rural districts of Virginia, where
bathtubs are not to be found in every
home, who was the proud possessor of
such luxury, which he permitted no
one else to use. One day he found that
some one had been using his tub, and,
reaching the conclusion that it could
be none other than Mary, his house
maid, he summoned her to appear be.
fore him and charged her with having
transgressed his unwritten law.
Mary confessed her fault, and the
judge, after enjoining her to sin no
more In this manner, as freely forgave
her. Observing that the maid seemed
somewhat hurt at her calling down"
which he had thus given her, the
Judge, by way of softening his rebuke,
said:
1T is not that object to your using
my tub, Mary, but I hate to think that
you would do anything behind my back
that you wouldn't do before my face"

HERE IS A NOVELTY
MUSICAL LUNCHEON is PRETTY
WAY TO ENTERTAIN.
How the Invitations May Be Designed
and the Table Appropriately Dec
orated-lmpromptu Concert
with Prizes Might Follow.

A musical luncheon can be made
into most charming and interesting
affair with but little trouble and ex-
pense. The invitations must be writ
ten on plain note paper and may have
at the top few notes of music with
the sign of the treble clef cleverly
drawn in ink. The invitations may
be formal little notes asking the
guests to musical luncheon" A
pretty color for decorating the dining
room and the table, and one which is
not used great deal, is green. The
wall coverings of most dining rooms
have touch of green in them some,
whore and the green will look well in
the room.
For the center piece, one might
have a guitar. The body part of the
guitar might be made of tin Ca tin
smith would make it for almost moth
ing) and should be covered with moss
and in the center of it may be placed
any kind of flowers that one might
prefer. Violets look well in a thing of
this kind. The handle of the guitar
may be made of wood and colored
black or gold and the strings may be
of fish cord. The guitar should not
be more than a foot and a half in
length. From the handle to each place
should extend little green ribbons. 1t
is pretty conceit to tie tiny nose
cay of violets to the end of each
piece of ribbon. Near the bouquet
should be placed the name card, on
which should be written the name.
the date and an appropriate quotation.
In front of each place, or if there is
not enough room on the table, on the
back of each chair should be placed
some musical instrument Mouth or
gans, tin trumpets, tambourines and
castanets may be the instruments
given.
After luncheon nothing will afford
more fun than an impromptu concert
given by all the guests together and
with solos" given by each guest on
her particular instrument.
Another interesting half hour may
be provided by the hostess if she will
secure the pictures of ~ famous mu-
sicians and place them in the different
parts Of the room. The guests must
guess who the musicians are from
their pictures and must write the
names on cards which they have
been provided with by the hostess.

Picked Strinu Beans.

String the beans, cut in two-inch
lengths, cover with sailed water and
cook until nearly tender enough to
eat. Have plenty of water boiling in
the tea kettle. Drain the water from
the beans. put them in sterilized glass
jars, just taken from hot water, then
fill the jars with boiling water from
the tea kettle. leaving space enough
in each jar to add two spoonfuls of
boiling hot vinegar. Seal and set in a
cool. dark place. When ready to use
in the winter turn off the water, rinse
and cover with fresh water, to which
little baking soda the size of pea
has been added. Let come to a boil,
turn on this water, scald again in
fresh water, season with salt, pepper,
cream and butter and give thanks.

Loss On Rolls.

Inc city assessment rolls, as ap-
proved last night, show a loss over
last year of S44S,O33, last years
assessment amounting in the aggre
gate to $79SS,954, while the present
assessments total $7,54O,921.
The principal losses are on the First
National Bank, $115,O0, and on the
property of the Newman Lumber Com
pany, 100000 the latter property now
being outside of the city limits. AS.
sessments reduced in several other
cases make up the total loss from last
year.
Outside of the properties enumerat-
ed above, however, Tax Assessor
Beaumonts rolls show an increase over
last years assessments. A notable in
crease is the one made on the Hotel
Hattiesburg of $4,000 and the rail
road commissions assessment of rail
road, telegraph and telephone proper
ty in the city shows on increase of
$4,000 over last years figures. A
number of other increases are noted
in personal property.
Should the voters of the city rat
ify the new fourteen mills levy, the
city government will have about S10,-

it had last year-every cent of which
can be used to the great advantage
