Colonel Roosevelt wishes to take
this method of expressing his very
deep appreciation of the multitude of
letters and kilograms he has received
since the shooting. The number was
SO very large. many thousands all told.
that it was physical impossibility for
him even to attempt to acknowledge
each individually and while the en-
deavor has been to have some answer
sent to each. yet in the confusion it is
probable that some kilograms and let
ters have been mislaid or that the ad-
dresses of. the senders have not been
found. He trusts that In any case
where this has happened the sender
will pardon the failure to answer in
view Of the circumstances set forth
above"

Captured Town.

Sofia, Oct. 2s.--The Bulgarians to-
day occupied the Turkish town Of Is
tip in Macedonia which lies forty five
miles to the southeast of Uskup.
It is said that the Turks evacuted
1stip without offering the slightest re-
sistance. After hattie near Kot-
china, fourteen miles to the north,
the Turks apparently were complete

Bulgarians were equally elated and
astonished at the easy capture Of Is
tip.
Istip is known as the Adrianople
Of Macedonia. 1t occupies a very
strong natural position in the noun
tains.
The Bulgarian forces have also
captured Eski Baba. an important
port between Adrianople and Con-
stantinople. They have penetrated
twenty miles into the Arda river dis
trict and taken all the villages in the
left bank, including the town of Pash-

DUB WATER SUPPLY.

| Space IL given in another column to
a summary OF the report of the State
Board OF Health on the condition OF
Westminster's water supply. The re-
port was received by Mayor Walsh
this week, and It contains some very
valuable Information as TO surface
drainage and other causes which may
lead to the pollution OF the water.
Nowhere can be found better water
than we have here. Visitors and sum-
mer boarders are constantly remark
Ing on IL.
The investigation was brought about
by the unusual number Of typhoid
fever cases which we had here during
the summer.
The report states that the sources
of supply are absolutely pure, and
that the slight pollution found was
not of a serious nature. However,
the suggestion and drawings in the
report are valuable, as 1t IL well to
take every fprecaution for the proven
ton of disease.
The defects to which were attributed
the slight pollution are now almost
entirely corrected, and our water
supply is now considered to be abb
solutely pure and will be kept so.

THE CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
In 1915,

The attempt in certain quarters to
anticipate the selection for the Demo-
cratic party Of candidate for Cover
nor i'm 1915, may be likened to the
pretentions Of those deluded persons
who make themselves believe they can
forecast the weather years. in advance,
one being entitled to as little credence
as the other.
If the trend of popular opinion in
dicates anything, it more than hints
that the candidate at that time will be
selected rather because or the quality
of his brain, than the size of his
pocket book; the latter heretofore in
many instances being the only quail
hcation possessed on the one hand,
or desired on the other.
Not how much money has he for
campaign purposes, but how much
brain has he to grace the Office after
he gets it, il likely hereafter to be
the determining factor in making a
choice.
The "Schoolmaster" has been
abroad in the land, and the would be
wise should take notice, and govern
themselves accordingly.

A SUCCESSOR TO sen.
SMITH.

We learn from the Baltimore Sun"
and the News" that the ''organiza-

the Democratic party, together with
the Independents, are busily engaged
i. selecting a successor to Senator
Smith without taking the Democratic
voters into their confidence.
This il much like tariff schedules
used to be made, without consulting

will az certainly smash the former.
The election Of United States Sena-
tors by the people is right too re-
Gently acquired to be set 1t naught by
the manipulations of any cabal, no
matter how potent it's influence IL

The candidate who hopes to sue

seems there are some who must have

tell which way the wind Is blowing.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOV. Is, 1912
THE USE OF OUR VICTORY.

The recent election gave to the
Democratic party of the country a
victory which is unprecedented in its
history, more sweeping and complete
than the most sanguine Democrat
could have anticipated.
we believe that there will be in
stalled i'm the Presidential Office ON
the 4th or next March, man who by
tradition and training, il peculiarly
fitted TO take up the work OF that ex-
allied Office.
Woodrow Wilson Is man who has
made government a study, not the
study OF a partiZan, but that OF a
statesman. a man who will be able
to look at all our governmental prob
lens from the broad view of patriotic
craftsmanship, and not from the mar
row view of mere partizanship.
We feel sure this Is the view he will
take in performing the duties of the
great Office upon which be IL 80 soon
to enter.
"He serves his party best who serves
his country best"
The Democratic party wants Presi-
dent Wilson and his Democratic Con-
gress to serve their party by first
serving their country. The people
want no small politics" in any OF the
departments OF government, during
the coming administration, and they
will have none.
We want to show to the world the
spectacle OF great party, conduct
ing a great administration, In the in
terest OF a great country.
A weighty responsibility will, OF
course, rest upon President Wilson
and his party. The country has CIV
en- them its confidence, and that means
grave responsibility.
We have entire confidence that ev-
cry pledge which was made in the
party platform, and which was made
by the candidate during the campaign,
will be substantially carried out. This
ought to be done and must be done If
the party is to maintain its good
standing with the people.
The country must, however, be pa
tient, must not think that every evil
OF which we complain, will be, or can
be corrected at once. The Republican
party was fifty years in building up
ruinous tariff system, which must be
taken down from top to bottom, but
it will, necessarily, take time to &C
complish this 50 let our President
and our Legislators, realizing their
responsibility, do their patriotic best,
and let the people be patient and give
them a chance.

A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM.

Under the leadership Of Governor
Woodrow Wilson the Democratic
party has won it's greatest victory
since 1852.
But this victory is no tawdry, par
tisan triumph. 1t liz no vote or con-
fidence in the Democratic party, SIM
ply as a party. 1t Is the mandate
from the people, and woe be to the
leaders of the Democracy IL they fall
ter in obedience to that mandate.
The country is seething with poll
teal discomfort, in spite Of it's I'M
paralleled material wealth and pros
perity. This discomfort is confined to
no particular class or section. Rich
and poor alike, children of fortune,
and children Of poverty, have begun
to lose faith in the efficacy of their
government to establish justice and
to promote the general welfare. They
are not sure where the fault lies; they
are not united as to the remedy; but
this they do know-that their institu-
lions have been seized by the privil-
eyed interests and turned against
them; that subtle, mysterious forces
operating unseen have proved time
after time that their power over pub
lie affairs was greater than the power
Of the people as whole, and they
demand that their government be
emancipated from this partnership.
This il the great work that con-
fronts Woodrow Wilson and the Dem
ocratic party-to restore popular con-
fdence in the institutions Of the Re
public and to re-establish a govern
ment OF the people, by the people, and
for the people.
For sixteen years the Republican
party has been in continuous control
OF national affairs. Tn 1896 it polled
7,104,799 votes. In 1900 it polled
l8,2O7,923 votes. In 1904 il polled T.
623,486 votes. In 1908 it polled 1885,
, 90S votes. But suddenly this seem
!, ingly invincible organization came
crashing down to ruin because II had
; not kept the faith. The Democratic
party in turn will 60 crashing dowr
to ruin II it does not keep the faith.
The American people are no longer
hypnotized BY party labels and party
, emblems. They are, on the contrary
. concerned with the principles OF goot
; government, and with parties as
means Of translating those principles
into action. They have made Wood
