Rooserelt and the Peonle.

Colonel Roosevelt's Spokane speech
must be taken to mean that under no
circumstances would he SEEK another
presidential nomination. 10 is. how
ever. scarcely more nor less than a
reiteration OF what he has said before
upon the subject and means that he
will not become a candidate before
hand and would consent to be drafted
only in the event of great emergency
to which no-other man could so well
respond lie has a right to have what
he says accepted in sincerity when he
declares that with him 1t is a matter
OF service to the people adding:
You have not got anything I want ex-
cept your respect and good will
SO far as official honor or distinc-
ton goes, Colonel Roosevelt certainly,
as he himself says, has had all that
the country could give him, so why
not accredit his explanation OF this
present tour-that It is his way Of
thanking the people for what they
have done for him? Whatever the
future may hold for Theodore Roose-
welt, whether it holds another term
as president or not, II is far-fetched
to charge that he is making this tour
of the country in the interest OF politi-
cal ambition. It would seem so even
if he had not positively declared him
self Since he has spoken so plainly,
he is entitled to be taken at his word
Colonel Roosevelt is still very
active man and if he should ever be
convinced that his country needed him
again at the head of a regiment or
in the White House. he probably
would respond to his country's call
He is one man about whom it seems
wholly unnecessary to worry.

OMAHA, April iO-To the editor Of The
Bee The citizens Of Monmouth Park
school district are opposed TO the proposed
erection Of an eight-room addition on the
north side Of present school, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
/. 1t would spoil the present school site
and would be an eyesore to the residents
Of this district for the next thirty Of forty
years.
2 1t would cut down the size Of the
playground to such an extent that the
children would be forced to play in the
street. and
3. The erection OF an eight-room build
ing on the north side would place the north
end OF the school out twenty-six feet be-
yond the houses along the south side OF
Meredith avenue.
It is proposed as a compromise that we
accept an erection Of four rooms on the
north side for the present and at some
time in the future there would be erected
an additional four rooms on the south
side making in all a sixteeu-room school
We are opposed to any plan which would
result in the erection Of four rooms at a
time for the reason that It would take in
the ne;ghborhood Of s25 900 to erect either
wing, leaving only $4,000 for future use.
When the time came for the erection OF
the other wing the people would have to
appropriate another $4,000 to complete It.
The two pieces Of property lying to the
west Of the present school can be pur-
chased at a reasonable figure land this
VIII have to be done sooner or later. MAX
ing 1t possible to erect an elght-room ad-
diuon on the west, also increasing the
beauty Of the school site and charging the
Fairgrounds so the children can be &C
oommodated without being forced into the
street.
These are the facts in the case and the
citizens of Monmouth Park district in on
position Of the proposed plan have adopted
resolutions Detting them forth and urging
that the school board purchase the prom
erty on the west Of the present site to
permit the erection Of the new addition

Put a Lid on the Pool Halls.

Even though the excitement OF the
community over recent holdups and
murders may have been abated, it still
remains the duty of the council to
tighten up on the pool halls, which are
VIGOROUSLY the biding place of young
toughs and suspicious characters.
A properly conducted pool hall may
be a wholesome place of recreation.
but there is no good reason why such
a resort should be an all-night rem
devious for indiscriminate patronage.
An ordinance proposed a few
months ago to establish midnight
closing for pool halls got lost some
how in the city council. This ordi-
nance should be resurrected, and the
closing hour moved up to 1880
O'Clock at night for week days and
earlier for Sundays, and the pool halls
made to understand that they will
have to observe the closing time or go
out of business.
This would in no way interfere with
the operation of these pool halls as
legitimate amusements resorts, but,
on the contrary, should work for their
improvement, to say nothing of the
relief afforded to the general com
munity.

Several more vetoes are due from
Governor Aldrich, among them a veto
of the bill requiring publication of
constitutional amendments in two pa

comes within the governors definition
of playing politics" Two years ago,
to get this patronage away from re-
publican papers, the democratic legls-
lature transferred the designation of
the papers from a republican secre-
tary Of state to a democratic governor,
and now that we have a republican
governor again, the very same demo-
Gratis seek by this means to keep what
they had purloined even though
doubling the expense. The governor
may under the present law designate
more than one paper in a county
where desirable, but there is no good
reason why he should be compelled TO
designate two In each county.
