PRAISE FOR ROOSEVELT.

Services yesterday morning at the
Washington Heights Presbyterian Church
were conducted by Rev. William D.
Moss. pastor. who. in his sermon. used
as his text: Theodore Roosevelt and
John the Baptist" in which he I!kened
former President Roosevelt IN his fight
against privilege and oppression, 10 the
similar war which John the Baptist
waged against the tyrant Herod on
this subject he said.
History often repeats itself, and In
the present crisis IN this nations af-
fairs, we have but turn back to the DAYS
of Herod and John the Baptist 10 dis
cover a striking similarity between the
situations then and now.
We have raised Up a privileged class
N this country who fail TO realize the
duty to the people which these privileges
entail and who flourish their advantages
before the eyes OF the less favored. These
people control the franchise and arrogate
20 themselves the right to say who shall
rule, and have only recently, in open
violation OF solemn vows, made TO the
people. passed a prohibitive tariff sched-
ule which can not but make the lot OF
the poor man a hard one, indeed.
Theodore Roosevelt may have been
more politician than statesman. and he
may have done many things which he
ought not TO have done, but he struck
a note Of righteousness, which will re-
sound for many a day"

A brand-new heat wave took out arti-
eles Of incorporation in Washington yes
terday
There was an idle popular delusion that
the July syndicate had cornered the mar
ket AS everybody knows, the July syn
dictate was organized simply TO hasten the
adjournment Of Congress and lift the tar
IN incubus from the Capitol dome. When
this laudable purpose was achieved the
syndicate also adJourned-or dissolved.
Some persons nursed the thought that
since the July syndicate had effected such
a phenomenal advance in prices IN the
heat market, there would be a slump in
August. Il is dangerous to credit the
weather man with any such logical rea-
soning as that, old Sol does not believe
in slumps
Be that as IL may. there Is obviously no
motive behind the present threatened
wave" except sheer perversity. Con-
gress has decamped, bag and baggage.
The spell OF high temperatures is here
on az extended engagement. and the kind
OF entertainment the weather man stages
usually thriycs and wakes fat on the
clamorous opposition OF the public
Washington was hot 20 the extent OF
