Roosevelt Replies to Letter

INVITES WRITER TO CALL
Communication to Congressman From
Former President Does Not Say Lat
ter Is Not a Candidate for the Re-
publican Nomination for President.

Washington, Jan. ga Republican
member of congress from one of the
Eastern states, which is an important
asset to the party, has received within
the past few days letter from Theo-
dore Roosevelt, written as a reply to
one sent by the congressman himself
The congressman wrote to Colonel
Roosevelt stating that he was un-
squivocally for him as a candidate for
president, wanted him to know it, and
also wanted him to know something OF
the sentiment in his district. He sup
plemented the letter with a statement
of the views of several of his most
prominent constituents, all of whom
declared themselves for Roosevelt.
Colonel Roosevelt in his reply said
that he was very glad to be assured
of friendly attitude of the congress
man toward him and was also very
glad to be informed of the sentiment
In his district.
Invites Writer to Visit Him.
He added that he would be pleased
to meet the congressman and suggest
ed that some time when he was in
New York he wished to have him go
to lunch with him.
In his letter Colonel Roosevelt did
not say that he was not candidate.
This is probably the most significant
feature of the communication, as In
many other recent letters the colonel
has stated that he is not a candidate.
1t has left no doubt in the mind of
the man who received 1t that Roose.
welt is a receptive, IL not an active,
candidate. Neither was there anything
to the effect that Roosevelt would not
accept a nomination. That Roosevelt's s
political correspondence is assuming
large proportions is the impression of
many Washington Republicans who
constantly hear stories Of letters that
the colonel has written to this man
or that.
No letter thus far reported has even
contained the statement that the Colo
mel would not take the Republican
nomination If 1t should be offered to
him.

It is a wise old proverb that advises
us how people who live In glass houses
should not throw stones. The expe-
rience of the ages has proved that vio-
lence begets violence. Although it is
not difficult to understand the reason
it is impossible to justify the action OF
the London suffragettes who broke
shop windows and destroyed other
property in order to compel public at
tention to their claims on the right OF
equal suffrage. That the law should
be applied to these women was natu-
raj. That college students and others
should wreck the headquarters of the
suffragettes was also natural, per-
haps. But it was no more justifiable
than the original violence of the suf-
fragettes. If the law took cognizance
of the action of the college students
we have seen no statement to that ef-
feet in the dispatches. There seems
to be no reason why the college stud
ents should be considered law unto
themselves. If the law Furnishes suf.
fragettes for an Offense and does no.
punish their opponents for the same
offense, this would seem to be evidence
of injustice. 1t would seem to indi'
cate that perhaps after all. the suf.
fragettes might be about as much en-.
titled to vote as their opponents. Bu
as a matter of fact it is not to be
claimed with very considerable warmth
that either side is showing special ca.
pacity for lf-government. Every
body knows that people who are un'
able to govern themselves are unfit tc
govern other people.

In connection with the conviction OF
Milus Partlow for attempting to wreck
a train to kill his children, so as to
make the railroad pay him a heavy
reward for a murder of his own COM
mission, the public will do we'll to dc
a little sober thinking. 1t is true that
such cases may not be frequent; but
this one Is not unique. The same
thing has occurred elsewhere outside
of novels. OF course 1t does not mean
that juries should refuse to- consider
damages or anything Of that kind; but
it does mean that they should be ex-
|ceedingly careful. This care, perhaps
is not so necessary as a. matter Of JUS
tice to the railroads and kindred cor.
porations, as a protection to the pub
lie. dangerous and desperate negro
is this Milus Partlow; but 1t Is vel
to keep in mind how he had in view
the idea of using the very law itself
as a means to reaping the reward ot
his crime.

BOYS PRIZE FUNDS.

1t Is the expectation of the commit
tees in charge Of the York County
Corn and Pig clubs to raise funds for
both clubs and the amount Of the
prizes will depend entirely upon the
liberality Of the subscriptions.
AS was stated recently, there is $50
in sight for the Pig club. This state
ment was made on the strength Of in
formation from Mr.. John r. Blair that
one gentleman had offered $25 and on
the strength of advice Of gentleman
from Bethel township that he desired
to subscribe. 1t Is not to be under
stood, of course, that $50 measures the
amount of the proposed prize fund.
The statement of the amount named
was given merely as an encourage
ment to the boys that prize money
would be forthcoming.
Mr.. Blair, who Is treasurer Of the
Corn club, reported at the same time
that he had SIS or more belonging to
that fund, available for next falls
prizes; but Of course. 1t Is not more
than a fraction Of the total amount to
be offered.
The work of raising subscriptions
will be taken up in due time, and all
who are interested In encouraging the
Corn and Pig clubs movement will be
given an opportunity to subscribe and
all subscriptions will be duly ac-
knowledged.
