To Newarkers who did not know the Evening News

And why, it may be asked.
The answer is that the News, instead of truthfully
presenting situations and facts to the people, printed
matters that represented personal feeling personal
likes and dislikes to community of readers better
informed as to the trend of public affairs than the
News assumed to be.
An array of things that were not as stated, and

PLANS no ATTAoK AMERICAN CITIES.

Mr.. Roosevelts statement at Princeton yesterday
that he had the secret plans of two empires for
attacking New York and San Francisco nobody will
doubt. Evidently Mr. Roosevelt refers to the time
when he occupied the Office of president and received
such information through diplomatic the
secret service.
To the ordinary mind 1t looks like rank perfdy
for the governments of nations with which we are
peaceful and friendly terms to have the fortifca
lions of principal cities sped upon to ascertain
how they can be attacked and plans of attack
be drawn up But this has been the practice of the
great powers of Europe There can be no doubt that
country has been mapped for military operations
and that every point of weakness in national
armor has been accurately noted Not long ago valu
able plans of the government were stolen from the
office of our trusting secretary OF state and there is
reason believe that there had been previous thefs
of this character. These plans went to Europe.

The last time saw G. p. Hunting
ton was in the summer of 1899. He
was then in his eightieth year, yet no
one would have guessed that he was
more than sixty years of age II the
guess were based upon his physical
appearance, brightness of eye, clear
ness of complexion and vigor of mind.
Mr.. Huntington attributed his long
life and his health to three causes.
One was the inheritance of a sound
constitution, for he had come from a
long line of sturdy Connecticut farm
ers Another was the regularity of
his habits. especially in eating and,
also, to some extent, abstinence from
stimulants. But, after all, the chief
reason for his unimpaired health and
his capacity for intense and long-con-
tinued application and concentration
Of mind was his ability always to
command himself so that he was
without worry and maintained cheer

As he stood leaning over the desk

which was magnificent and more es-
pecially by the noble proportions OF
his head, the regularity of his feat
ures and the impress which ability
and thought had left upon his coun-
tenance.
He chatted for while upon the sit
uation and explained why he had
thought il expedient to begin the
building of a railroad which was to
stretch from a point on the Southern
Pacific into Mexico, running parallel
to the Gulf of Mexico.
There are great coal mines down
there" he said. And there Is n

MIR. HAussLING WILL BE RE.nLECrEp

Mayor Haussling not attacked in the campaign
it's close until after it was far advanced.
Care taken by his opponents to avoid direct ref
erences The attacks always indirect The
News made lay figure of "Nugentism, and it was
left be inferred that Magnetism" represented the
mayor.
After the campaign had progressed far enough to
make 1t evident that this line of attack not having
the desired effect direct attack made but the in
decencies of previous campaigns We're avoided.
1t had been demonstrated that they did not pay.
And besides, the ridiculous fasco of the vice in
yestigation" engineered by employee of the News,
in JAIL had queered" all ISLANDERS of that char
acter
The fourth administration of Mayor Haussling has
needed vindcation for it's results before the
people and every citizen who has civic spirit and ord
nary intelligence has to approve them But Mayor
Haussling's administration during four terms must
however, be taken a whole.
We must consider how our city has progressed
how 1t has been benefited and how it has been put in
position to reap vastly greater advantages and
benefits by the nearly eight years administration of
this plain of the people, who is to be reelected
for another term continue the work he has faith

that no State will have less than six
delegates. In addition, each congress
sional district will be represented in
the convention by one delegate, in
stead of two as at present; except
that in districts where the Repub-

Southern representation without by
any means reducing 1t to impotence,

button that is attracting a lot of at
tention and drawing caustic COM

Speeches are begun and ended with
the words:

Convention Reform.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Once the Republican party definite
ly decided to rectify its basis of rep
resentation in national conventions,
the working out of the reform was
not at all difficult. Ever since 1880
there has been agitation against the
gross injustice of allowing southern
States which cast no Republican
electoral votes, to send full quotas
of delegates to conventions which
select candidates for the support of
Republican voters. But the agitation
brought no results, The powers were

daddy showing similar markings.
Sooy pointed out a freak kink in the
pups tail and trotted forth another
dog with like twist in his wager,
naming 1t the true papa.
Asked how the supposed father had
acquired the peculiar twist In his tail,
