William s. Hilles appeared before the
Levy Court Tuesday in the interest Of
having the Levy Court increase the width
and depth Of the stone road which Is TO
be built on the old state road, and when
he had concluded his talk to the commits
sioners they we're convinced and ordered
the plans changed 80 a. to call for Q road
fourteen feet wide and eight inches deep,
instead Of twelve feet wide and six inches
deep. Mr.. HilIes pointed out that this
road is one Of the most travelled in the
county aud that it should be deeper than
six inches, owing to this travel. Com.
missioner Dennison moved that the
road be made wider and deeper and bids
will be called for in few days under the
new plans for the road.
Following the business Of the meeting
Tuesday morning she court adjourned for
two weeks so that the members can have

James E. Megilligan, tax collector for

Commissioner Dennison said that be

AS IN A MIRROR. j..

Seldom has the mirror been so
aptly thrust before the features Of
that insufferable nuisance and po-
litical weather vane, now bestrid-
ing this unfortunate. nation, as it
is in the following from the John
town, Pa, Democrat:
The personal. popularity of Theo-
dore Roosevelt is the perplexing
enigma of present day politics.
Whether it be permanent or ephem-
eral is of little. consequence. The
fact that the American people ten
der enthusiastic receptions to a man
whose whole political career is char
acterized by deceit, treachery and
falsehood, by the most glazing in
consistencies, contradictions and alb
surdities, is not only astounding, but
equality Of opportunity and the in
justice of special privilege; and yet
if he ever equalized an opportunity
or abolished a privilege, the Ameri-.
can people have yet to learn it. His
public life is characterized by dem
agogic platitudes, plutocratic atti-
tudes and by an Unsuitable desire to
be the center of attraction and the
object Of popular applause that is
really repugnant to true American
manhood. ~ -

That Grand Stand PLAY!

> 1t is with great reluctance that we
differ from those friends Of Mr.
Roosevelt who applaud his conduct
regarding the Hamilton club dinner,
says The Public. .-.
In their good political purposes we
have mistaken confidence; but it
seems impossible to account for their
judgment in this matter on any other
basis than blind partisanship-a holy
partisanship, il you please; a parti-:
sanship which seeks good ends in
stead Of bad ones, which clings to
affiliations of good men instead of
wicked men, but partisanship, new
ertheless. Instead Of that regard for
fair dealing and decent behavior in
personal intercourse without which
the purest purposes may be stultified
and the best Of ends be frustrated.
That Mr.. Roosevelt might properly
have refused to sit at table with
Senator Lorimer. we freely concede;
though we would not therefore agree
with the Methodist preacher who
described him as lone sent of Cod
Sunday school missionaries remind us
that He whose shoe latchet the one
of whom that description was first
used was unworthy to unloose, did
not object to sitting at the table with
sinners.
But as Mr.. Roosevelt is in training
for reelection to the presidency, his
sitting at the table publicly with
Senator Lorimer might have been
prejudicial to his aspirations in that
respect Some hostile partisan might
have pointed at him the finger of
scorn to the confusion of delicate ad-
mirers. Probably not, for Mr.. Roose-
velt's facility in turning all things in
least to greatest, from worst to best
is almost without parallel.
But it was for him to say whether
he would sit at table with Senator
Loriner, and he said No. So far, no
| criticism applies; except perhaps that
he ought to have saved his hosts en-
barrassment by being alert enough to
object before Lorimer-a senator and
member of the club not likely to be
ignored in the invitations-had been
urged by the committee to accept the
| invitation he had at first neglected
and, according to his friends, was dis
posed to decline.
The criticism that does apply, is
Mr.. Roosevelt's insistence for taking
advantage of the opportunity for "a
grand stand play" Lest there be
objection to our use of this phrase,
let us explain, as Mr.. Roosevelt might
that We are "using it merely scien-
tifically and descriptively, and be-
cause no other terms express the fact
| with the necessary precision" 1t
was in truth a grand stand play"
Whether for his own benefit, or fur

one or another Of those purposes; for
Mr.. Roosevelt refused to allow Sena-
tor Lorimer to withdraw quietly, but
insisted that the affair have the full
est publicity. ~,
That Mr.. Roosevelt's insistence up
on publicity for such an affair-no
matter how hateful to him the other
party might be, nor how justly so--
indecency, even the warmest of Mr..
Roosevelt's admirers will hardly dis
pute. They would not defend or ex-
cuse it in any one else. 81
Do they find justification for it.,
then, in Mr.. Roosevelt's much adj
vertised sensitiveness to political corr
ruption? Does he act under the in
fluence of some sort Of moral hysteria
binding him for the moment to the
ordinary cOurtesies of. human inter-
course, when odors of public cor
ruption assail his moral olfactories?
That explanation of Mr.. Roosevelt S
idiosyncratic manners would hardly
bear the test of the fact that certain
other: fragrant presences were at the
very table from which Lorimer was
Nor can it be reconciled with Mr..
Roosevelt's federation of BOSS" Cox

All that can be said for Mr.. Roose-
Welt in this connection is that his SON.

a candidate for congress, and Cox Is
therefore political friend, whereas
Lorimer is POLITICAL enemy. This is
a more convincing explanation, at al

Cox is nOt-as if it could make any

CHAMPEEN EQUILIBRIsT

Says the New York World: g. y.
The World has always managed
to preserve it's deep admiration
and affection for Colonel Roose-
welt from degenerating into idol
airy. But it cannot let gross in
justice to the colonel go unchal-
lenged. One Of the most common,
constant and baseless charges
against him is that he lacks bal
ance. We deny it. On the con-
trary, he is the greatest equilibrist
Of modern times. There may be
some things that he does not
weigh. but there is nothing that
he does not balance.
For every attack on capital and
corporations he can show a warn
ing to labor and unions; for every
Hartman he can produce a Hey
wood !; for every Booker Washing
ton lunch a Brownsville declama-
ton; for every Staying expedition
pigskin library; for every panic
a coal strike settlement; for every
Nobel prize a Spaniard shot in the
back. He balanced his ancestry
before he was born; he balanced
Harvard with cowpunching; civil
service reform with Plat politics
free trade principles with a stand
pat campaign for the vice presi-
dency; Philippine advances to the
Vatican with a fDear Maria in
cident. He balanced men and
women and unborn babes; and
creeds and colors and crazes; and
virtues and vices and votes. He
balanced every earthly thing that
he couldsreach..
