The Morning Paper.

The news of the past few months
and especially of the last two weeks
has been Of such a national character
that it has attracted more than usual
attention 1t has shown that no after
noon paper has been able to give CON-
plete reports of proceedings or events
that happened in an accurate manner
as soon as the morning paper, for the
simple reason that such news Of neees-
sity could not be sent out before i;
happened.
An example of the bulletin service Of
the afternoon papers and how little
they can be depended upon is recalled
by the deplorable reports of the Titanic
disaster, when they said all had been
rescued and were on their way to Hall
fax. The morning papers, and especially
The Washington Herald, gave the true
and sad news hours before it appeared
in the afternoon papers.
The same can be said of the news
from Chicago and Baltimore. The
morning papers printed the news
of the proceedings from the time
the convention was called to order
until it adjourned, no matter what
time that was. Not only had they COM
plete reports of the actual proceedings,
but also interesting reviews of what
had been accomplished and a pretty &C
curate forecast of what would take
place during the next day. The bulle-
tin nature of the news furnished the
afternoon papers makes it impossible
for them to turn out a complete paper.
Our readers can see for themselves
that the morning paper is in better
position to give accurate and complete
reports of any event before the aft
ernoon paper, because few big things
happen during the morning or early
afternoon. The Herald appreciates the
fact that an afternoon paper is a con-
venience, as II furnishes entertainment
for those who like light reading, but
at the same time all know it cannot be
depended upon for accuracy or looked
to for the source OF original news.
In this connection The Herald takes
its readers into its confidence and asks,
not in boasting manner, if this paper
has not given the most complete and
unbiased reports of the two national
conventions? An afternoon newspaper
could not do this unless it took the
reports of the morning paper and re-
wrote them or had original stories sent
them hours after the same stories had
been printed in the morning papers.
The Herald takes this opportunity to
say that it is its aim to print a clean,
newsy, independent paper, believing
that is the only kind of newspaper that
should be circulated.

a Jew, because Jews Of the name were
burned at Tarragona in l4S9; yet Mr..
Ryan asserts that Columbus was born
OF good Catholic parents" because he
cannot conceive how a Jew OF that period
could have sagaCity enough to give his
son a Christian name. which might be
the means OF averting the dangers OF the
inquisitiOn. II Mr.. Ryan Will investigate
he will find that many Jews OF that period
bore names suggestively Christian.
The Incidents referred TO by Mr.. Ryan
as proving the Catholic character OF CO.
lumbus are trivial as compared with the
facts pointing 10 his Jewish origin and
faith: and these important points as set
forth IN The Secret Of Columbus" our
critic seems TO be CirCllng around and
avoiding.
In conclusion, he thinks the fact that
Columbus has been regarded by the
whole world for more than 100 years as
a Catholic should be sufficient to en-
able Catholics to continue to ind delight
in proclalming with Leo XIII, Columbus
is ours"
certainly do not object to their use
OF such a slogan. nor do imagine his
Jewish brethren will, though the arg1-
ment is not strong. In the time OF Column
bus the whole world for more than 400
years had held that the world itself Is
fat. Did the number OF its supporters and
the length OF time they had held that
opinion, prove It to be true?

ROOSEVELT DECLARES
DEMOCRATS WANT

Oyster Bay. y. Y, July 4--Col. Roose-
welt told The Washington Herald repre-
sentative tonight that since the nominal
ton OF Woodrow Wilson he had received
flood OF kilograms from Democrats de-
clarIng that the betrayal OF Speaker
Clark was an affront 10 real progressive
ism, and that they intend to vote for
Roosevelt next November. They say they
want to register a protest against Bryan
ism, he declared.
The former President showed a pile OF
these kilograms tonight. The sentiment
expressed in them was that Democrats
could not consistently range themselves
behind Wilson because Of the way his
nomination was manipulated.
Roosevelt criticised the platforms Of
both parties as showing an utter disre-
gard OF the social and Industrial move
ment under way in the country" The
Republican and Democratic parties have
taken up the same old policies" he
said. with the same old battle cries

regards the trusts he has very decided

Iieves that each State can take care Of

State control, especially Of corporations
Of public utilities. He is naturally for
a tariff for revenue only, but he thinks
that this can be reached gradually,
without injury to legitimate interests.
But above all he says that representa-

FRIDAY. JULY & lslA
MaeVeagh and Andrew.

+ If Assistant Secretary Andrew is
right in his statements to the President
IN his letter of resignation, the Treas
ury Department is not happy family.
But, of course, all this will have to be
proved, and for that reason the resolu-
ton of Congressman Cox of Ohio,
asking for a thorough investigation,
ought to be welcomed. We do not an
ticipate that these charges will have
any effect upon the election, but they
might have done harm before the Re-
publican nominations were made, and,
therefore, Mr.. Andrew has shown good
sense in waiting until now.
There is nothing in the charges to
show anything worse than possible neg
lect of duty on the part OF Secretary
MacVesgh. Nothing more serious is in
yoIved. Perhaps Mr. Andrew is right
in his contention that the Secretary is
occupied more with trivial matters to
the detriment of routine or important
business, but in either case the matter
Is solely one for the President to de-
eide, as no official can be impeached
Tor being. peevish in disposition and re-
scn:ful of the efforts of his more ac-
tive subordinates.
Mr. Andrew is an exceptionally able
man, especially in matters pertaining to
national banking, and he is undoubtedly
a valuable servant whom the admins
tration can Ill afford to dispense with.
Yet, reading his long indictment care
fully, it appears that there is a good
deal more venom in it than positive
evidence He has nursed a personal
grievance long time and has taken the
public into his confidence. At any rate,
the other high Treasury officials whom
he names as also suffering from the
same reprehensible treatment so far
have declined to corroborate his charges
or to commit themselves to any state
ment, with. the exception of Director
Ralph Of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, who states in so many words
that "he. had no kick coming at all"
so far as his relations with the Secre-
tary of the Treasury were concerned.
Still, the other officials named by
Mr.. Andrew ought to be heard, if it
comes to a Congressional probe. For
we do not believe that he would have
openly referred to the Comptroller of
tie Currency or the Treasurer of the
United States and others, as willing TO
testify to Mr.. MacVeagh's tempera-
mental "peculiarities" without first hav-
ing obtained their permission This
would not be like what We know of Mr..
Andrew.
Mr.. MacVeagh is not a young
MIN. He has had no experience in
the handling CT pubic affairs previous
10 being appointed by Mr.. Taft to 50
responsible a position. Besides, a great
deal of fault has been found by par
tisans because of his selection, for at
one time he was prominent Democrat
in Illinois. OF course none of these
things furnishes ground for Mr. Andrews
attack, but they would go a long way
toward hurting the Taft ticket.
What Mr. Andrew really means is
that the Secretary of the Treasury is
unfit 10 fill the position he occupies, and
that the government suffers from his
retention. Let him prove It. Other
wise, if his act was dictated by malice,
be nav have to face serious trouble.

Treasury officials.
According to some Of the officials. and
one legislator who conferred with both
Secretary MacVeagh and the President In
the role Of pacihcator. Or. Andrews
going to Chicago was undoubtedly used
as a suficlent excuse TO demand his
resignation. It was even said that AL
though DIR. Andrew informed Secretary
MacVeagh at least two months ago that
he had been asked TO attend the conven-
ton TO assist in drafting the monetary
plank OF the platform, he was not ordered
not to 20 until the morning OF the day
he departed. At that time he had COM
pleted all arrangements, including hotel
and railroad reservations the purchase
OF transportation, &C. Or. Andrew is
said to have sent for one Of his friends
among the division chiefs and informed
him that this would doubtless prove to
be the break.
Received No Reply.
According to this account OF the difh-
Guilty. which appears to be thoroughly
reliable, DR.. Andrew returned Monday.
June "a. and at once sent a note in to
Secretary MacVeagh announcing his re-
turn and readiness TO take up any mat
tiers which the Secretary had to present.
He had expressed the belief in the mean
time that his resignation would be called
for before his return, and appeared sur
prised that II had not been. Two or
three days passed and no word had
come from the Secretary, whereupOn DR..
Andrew sent another note. saying that
since his previous note had been ig
nored, apparently his services were not
regarded as valuable to his chief and Re
would proceed at once to write letter
of resignation. TO he submitted at the
pleasure OF the Secretary. BY this time
the difficulty had become known to one
or two Of DR.. Andrews friends in Con-
gress, resulting in Senators Lodge and
Crane going first to Secretary MacVeagh
and then TO the President in an effort
to patch up the trouble and keep Andrew
in the Treasury. This is said to have
irritated Secretary MacVeagh, who de-
cIared that one of the other would have
TO leave and he would present the sub
tect directly to the President. This he did
at once, in the form OF a reCommenda-
ton that DR.. Andrew should be dismissed

"He called the captain. The writing
