According to a dispatch sent out
from New York, Bishop Greer is of
the opinion that the American people
will regard the Vatican's action in
the Roosevelt matter as a national
affront. How is it possible for the
American people to regard the Incl
dent in any such way? What is Mr..
Roosevelt now, really more than any
other man who has held office in the
United States? FIe is simply pri-
vate citizen, on no sort of public
mission, and he is not entitled to
any especial attention from anybody,
except what he deserves because of
himself. and not because of his Off
cal station When old Grant went
around the world he was everywhere
received with the utmost kindness,
and our recollection is that he did not
make a fool of himself once on his
grand tour.

LEAD

The list OF Democratic candidates
for Councilmen will close next Friday
under the rules of the party. Counting
to-day. there are only four days left
on which nominations can be made.
In two OF the wards, we Were told yes
terday. there have not been enough
men so far named to more than fiji the
places in Council, and these in an In
effective way. In other wards, some
candidates have been named who ought
not to be elected.
1t Is more important than ever, In
view Of the annexation of Manchester
that the next Council be composed of
tho hest men In the city. The bust
ness men and taxpayers ought to be
especially interested n the selection
of the members OF Council; but so far
as we have heard, they are not taking
the least part in their selection, and
are letting the business go by default.
Their Indifference is not only re-
proach to the community, but to the
idiers as we'll, who sit back in their
offices and depend upon Providence to
give them a good administration OF
the city's affairs. The majority of

Roanoke Times, discussing the ques-
tion of Councilmen and Aldermen,
vote for and elect men to public office

ter the nominations are made and the
elections held, we all with one accord
begin to howl about the sort OF men
who are put In office. We get exactly
what we deserve many times, as we
really deserve nothing.

munity do not care for public office
They get no thanks for what they do
they are much insured, they art
often the object of brutal attack o,
the people who Were never known
to take an intelligent interest in publ,
affairs. and 1t is asking a great dea
to ask anybody to stand for election

the community requires that only goo,
men, the best men, shall be put OF

town could not do a better thing foi
