Roosevelt The Shameless.

If an ex-president of the United
States cannot set an example in good
manners to the President, to whom
are we to look to show proper respect
to the chief executive of the nation
Theodore Roosevelt has never ap-
peared to like Woodrow Wilson since
he went through the campaign against
him in 1912. Following his recovery
from the gunshot wound received in
Milwaukee, he took fling at Wilson
in Madison Square Garden where he
plunged the dagger of criticism into
him, aiming his shaft at his record
as Governor of New Jersey. That was
a good enough example of poor taste
to satisfy anyone of the intense hatred
with which Roosevelt was filled. But
now he comes with the most I'M
bridled license and charges Mr.. Wilson
with STAINLESS dishonor in connec-
ton with the Shipping Bill which
failed to pass Congress recently.
The "World" in commenting on the
Roosevelt attack last Monday said
in an editorial caption, "a Shameful
Exhibition"
Ex-President Roosevelt was asked
to testify before the Senate Ship
Trust Inquiry Committee concerning
his statement that the Administration
had "endeavored in the interest of
certain foreign business firms to Sc
cure to the United States the power
to purchase the informed (they are
not interned) ships of one of the bel
ligerents," meaning the German ships
in Hoboken and elsewhere.
In his telegram to Senator Walsh,
printed yesterday, Mr.. Roosevelt ad-
mits that he has no evidence except
such as is "open to every intelligent
man." Having thus jauntily avowed
that he was without warrant in i'm
putting to his successor in the Presi-
dency an improper purpose for an I'M
worthy motive, he repeats the offense:
every man knew that the OBJ
ject of the bill was to purchase
those interned ships. If this were
not so, the proposed law would
have contained proviso ex-
pressly exempting the informed
ships from its provisions. y
The failure to put in such pro-
viso is conclusive proof that the
main object in passing the act
was to purchase these very
ships"
Mr.. Roosevelt makes a statement;
he admits that he has no evidence; he
repeats the statement. 1t thus be-
comes conclusive proof"
In fact, "every man knew" nothing
of the sort that Mr.. Roosevelt charges.
Every man who cares to know knows
that the exempting proviso was

NelU Jersey Woman College.

There has been no public enterprise
started in New Jersey for many years
that makes a stronger appeal than
the newly launched Woman's College.
Rutgers College at New Brunswick
has offered to domicile the woman's,
college in so far as giving it teaching,
laboratory, library and other facilities
are concerned. There has been a fine
donation of twelve acres of property
in easy distance to Rutgers, and on
this, with the addition of some other
adjacent property that may be also
available, it is proposed to put up a
special college building for the use
of female students. In this way there
will be no necessity for calling upon
Rutgers to do more than furnish a
way to unite the two interests of
female and male students under the
same governing management, with
the added direction of the woman's
college department which they will
themselves furnish.
New Jersey is one of the few
states that has no woman's college of
it's own. The time has now come when
the necessity for this enterprise is ap-
parent, and the women of the state
have determined to push it to sue
cessful conclusion. If the presen,
plans do not fall through, there are
signs now visible that the present
year may see the college open it.
doors, with full corps of teachers,
and starting attendance of from rs
to $50. When the work gets under full
Roadway, the attempt for getting ar
endowment fund started will be be-
gun. In this way it is hoped to re-
lieve the future of all processes of
collecting funds with which to sustain
the college.
An appeal has just been made tc
have every family make a small do
nation for this woman's college, and
no one should pass it up. Everyone
helping even by small sum will in,
sure it's success. Do not undertake
to do too much. Let your offering b.
what you feel will help the good
cause, but let it be something. Don't
turn from the appeal. 1t is one of the
most important public enterprise,
ever started and needs every ounce of
energy that can be put behind it.

omitted because it was unwise to sci
needless limitations and precedents.
Even if it was conceivable that the
President, who has so carefully OBJ
served neutrality obligations, could
have planned an unneutral act, we
have positive assurance that it was
not planned. Secretary McAdoo
against whom the attack in the Senate
was nominally aimed, has sharply
denied the imputation, stating that
the bill would have given our ship
yards "orders for cargo ships aggre-
eating 100000 to 100000 tons deaC
weight, stimulating manufacturing
industries and providing vessels fol-
our American foreign trade" pur-
pose that stirred the shipping mo-
nopoly to seek it's defeat
Let us borrow Mr.. Roosevelt's
strong words: "The facts are public
property. Every one knows them
There is no possibility of disputine
them" And they are the exact op.
posite of what Mr.. Roosevelt alleges
They stamp his utterances as a reck-
less misrepresentation shamelessly
reiterated.

What is fame

What is fame?
Man has done many things that
raised him to pinnacle.
Napoleon rose to the topmost
heights through the power of his
genius, and his achievements in
battle, no less than his intellectual
wit, made him a world hero.
Caesar, Alexander, Hannibal, Wash
ington, Lincoln, Grant, Lee, Dewey,
all achieved greatness.
Hobson achieved fame with the
Merrimac at Santiago.
The world is filled with heroes who
climbed into the halls of glory
through individual prowess of some
kind.
But there is another kind of fame.
and it brings up the question, is not
fame a relative term?
The other day, March 81, the city
of Jackson, Miss, placed large three
column advertisement on the front
page of "The News" of that city
with this caption:
TO ALL PEOPLE in THE
JACKSON TERRITORY:
You are cordially invited to visit
jackson on Wednesday, March 81, and
spend the day in our CITY,.
Ty Cobb, the worlds greatest ball
player, will be guest of honor In
Jackson on that date, and will be
seen in action in game between
Detroit and New Orleans, commenc-
ing at 3 o'clock Wednesday after
noon.
The merchants of Jackson are dis
playing their spring and summer
stocks, the largest and most complete
ever brought to the capital city, and
they have arranged to give unusual
bargains on "Ty Cobb Day."

The Prize Ring Moral.

There is one very interesting point
brought out by the Willard-Johnson
prize fight that took place this week:
1t emphasizes the depths of race pre-
JUDGE. The white people everywhere
reioiced over Johnson's downfall just
as the negroes nearly had conniption
fits when a member of their race be-
came champion some years ago.
There is no denying the fact that
there was general rejoicing all over
the world that white man regained
the famous title. Everywhere that
the telegraph runs the news of this
great fstic battle was flashed, and
everywhere the same shouts went up
that the negro had lost. The spirit
of the interest in the fight did not
uncover itself until at its very close,
for most people had concluded long
ago that the negro was invincible.
Then when the victory was declared
for the white man, everybody awak-
ened to the fact that the race had
been redeemed in a measure. OF
course, the negro is not the equal
of the white man, nor has he ever
been. What future ages may develop
for him no one knows. He is at this
time making substantial progress and
should be satisfied to remain with
that ambition. No one should want
to hold him back.

NeU Jersey Census Figures.

The Bureau of Census at Washing
ton has issued an interesting exhibit
by states on the wealth, debt and
taxation from 1860 to 1912.
New Jersey in 1860 paid tax on
$151, 161 ,942, about as much as
Georgia had in 1870. The New Jersey
assessment grew to $448,832,127 in
1870, but dropped to $442,632,638 in
1880. The growth was rapid from
1880 to 1912, the years being as fol-
lows: 1890, $562,375, 791; 1902, $780,
326,858, while in 1912 it was $780,
407, 1862, over 100 per cent. increase in
twelve years.
The taxes collected in New Jersey
from 1860 to 1912 were as follows:
1860, $1,457, 500; 1870, $7,416,724;
1880, $8,95S,065; 1890, $14,1O3,525
1902, $2O,955 ,483; 1912, $49,424, 444.
here was an increase in tax receipts
of almost $50 per cent. in the the IL
years from 1900 to 1912, showing that
New Jersey was spending money to
beat the band!
A division of the almost $5O,OOO,-
900 tax receipts in 1912 and what it
went to pay is interesting in this
connection: For purposes other than
schools, state, $4,5O8,948; county, $780,
145,172; other civil divisions, $685.
912,477; for schools, $5,857,84
There are many other tables in this
special census report, state by state
most of them, however, being tabu-
lated statements about public indebt-
edness, sinking funds, and county in
debtedness. Among other things it
is stated that the per capita indebted
ness of New Jersey, less the sinking
fund total that will one day wipe out
the Indebtedness, is only "a per
capita. The total state, city and
county indebtedness is over $780,
100000.
The total volume of labor involved
in this particular census bulletin must
have been something tremendous. 1t
shows New Jersey in fine financial
condition compared to other states.

The White Man Won.

In prize fight last Monday at
Havana between Jack Johnson,
negro, and Jess Willard, another
prize ring brute, the latter won after
one hour and forty four minutes in
smuggling match that bore all of the
usual characteristics of such exhibit
tions. There had been great rivalry
over this match, the negro having
held the heavy weight championship
so long that ring followers were dis
heartened over the situation, since no
white man appeared to be able to
wrest the title away.
But now that it has been done,
what of it? Is the white race any
better off in proving the white mans
supremacy in the ring? Suppose
some black man should make dis
covery, such as had never been done
before, that would be something bet
ter. The prize ring proves absolutely
nothing, except that men and women,
too, for that matter, grow at diff
ferent times and under different con-
ditions, to abnormal size and strength,
and that scientific handling of them
may make them wonderful in skill,
strength and endurance. 1t is the
brutality of the prize ring that makes
it distasteful, and it is just as well
that it has been driven out of this
country, virtually, SO far as its bru-
talities are concerned. Jess Willard
will now go along fighting other big
men in the ring until it comes his turn
to yield up the title of champion to
some other man in his class. That is
the way they all go. 1t is the way of
all things of that character. The e,.
tire civilized world was excited and
interested over this last prize ring
result, and this is the strange thing
about it. No battle of the European
war has excited keener interest. 1t
is quite a mysterious feeling. Its
hold cannot be questioned, which
makes it all the harder to understand.
Perhaps it is the psychology OF the
human kind, and since psychology is
so mysterious force, or whatever it
is, perhaps this mystery of the prize
ring interest cannot be explained.

that any attempt to reason and the
real worth of the man must fall by
the wayside. That is, if one is to
arrive at the really definite view.
Mr.. Sunday is man of many con-
tradictions, and consequently has
many enemies. But in arriving at
just estimate of his evangelistic work
and its value only the net results can
be considered. Whenever he has gone
through a revival season in any
American city, he has always left the
churches with a fuller membership,
and the saloon trade has fallen Off
This of itself shows that his efforts
are efficient. He starts out with the
broad proposition that he is an enemy
of sin, and that he is seeking to have
men lead better lives.
The method, the processes the
evangelist uses in bringing men into
the fold of Christian living are merely
means to an end. So long as he
can influence ten men in thousand
to renounce satan, he has not failed
Calling Mr.. Sunday a mountebank;
criticising his immaculate, faultless
style of dress; calling him rich man
made so by making business out Of
religion-none of these things affect
the results he is always aiming at.
The fact that Billy Sunday is this or
that; that many of his acts are even
sacreligious, cannot alter the fact
that when he has hammered his cause
into a community for a period, he al
ways makes it's atmosphere more
righteous. 1t is his incomprehensible
hold upon his hearers, his psychology
cal grip that makes them spellbound
in his presence, whatever else we say
feel about his power.
No analysis of the Billy Sunday
processes has yet been made that will
really satisfy the longing heart that
yearns to know the truth about him.
1t simply cannot be known, except
that he is the production of an age
that delights in the sensational, and
his mental prowess, his wit, or his
intuition, led him to take advantage
of condition. For himself? who
may say? For humanity's sake? God
alone knows!
So, looking at Billy Sunday, eX-
baseballist, present evangelist cham
pion, and you have the man of power,
the man of mystery. Nothing is so
exasperating sometimes as the mys-
FERROUS man; nothing is ever more in
teresting. The more man mystifies,
the more he enthrals. The more Billy
Sunday plays the buffoon; the more he
spellbinds with lurid eloquence, the
more certain his mystery, the more
signal his triumph. No man can say
he lacks force. This is the very great
est part of the man. Recognizing that
the most difficult thing in the world
to do is to make men listen to the
moral or religious appeal, this brave
disciple of good goes forth single
handed and alone and guides his
chariot aflame over sin and satan.
Whatever the silent influence of sin
may be certain it is that Billy Sunday
is not in league with the devil.

And all this for Ty Cobb, the base

sport no such voluntary tribute was
ever paid to an individual player, or
to the game, for that matter. There
must have been some satisfaction as

that kind of fame as big as any?

Clerks Should Agree on Action.

1t is desirable necessary, in TACT II the en-
poyes OF the government to attain relief from
injustice by action of Congress its next ses-
SION that the United States Civil Service Retire
, mcnt Association at its annual meeting tonight
! should take definite steps to formulate a plan of
legislation upon which there may be unanimous
agreement on the part OF the government workers.
The present time is too early for beginning
the work OF drafting that shall meet
the views OF the clerks and the heads OF the
tive departments. that it may receive ndorse-
mcnt in the annual reports to Congress and if
possible in the Presidents message If any OF the
measures that have already been introduced in
Congress can be given unanimous approval it may
be counted as progress already made. but, il not,
a new bill upon which there may be complete
agreement should be prepared without delay. 1t
is OF first Importance that neither executive nor
legislative officials of the government shat! be
burdcncd with the pcrplexitics OF two different
systems, each advocated by clerical faction.
1t has long been agreed by Cabinet officers
as well as the clerks that a pension sys-
ten should be established to provide for
the retirement OF employees when they be-
come ncapacitated for the performance OF
duty. The principal question at issue has been
whether the government should provide the en-
tire pension fund.- whether the employees should
contribute to It small percentage OF, their annual
salaries. This is point upon which there should
be prompt agreement The plan requiring contri-
buttons from the clerks would doubtless appeal
more forcibly to Congress- but there would appear
to be little of justice in such demand when it
is remembered that salaries of the clerks totally
inadequate to meet the living cost Of the present
day. because they have not been adjusted for over
thirty years.
The Herald believes there is urgent need of
a reclassihcaton OF the civil service and SUBJ
stantial increase of salaries. matter what sys-
tenn of pension and retirement is adopted If the
eontributory plan is decided upon it should by all
means and in all fairness be incorporated in a.
bill for Redistribution and readjustment of sal
aries. Cabinet officials could hardly refuse to in.
dorse measure so just and necessary But
above ALL there should be agreement upon a,
course of action, and it is to be hoped that to-
nights meeting will so far toward bringing it
about
