PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT , INTERVIEWER -
VIEWER SAYS , WILL RUN.
PPERIDENT LIKES THE JOB
Prominent English Newspaperman and
Business Man Has n Notable Inter
view With America's President and
Says He Will Run Again.
London , Nov. 12. T. C. Crawford ,
once ono of the most famous of Amor-
lean foreign correspondents and now
n successful man of business , residing
In England , has temporarily revisited
the paths of journalism , with the re
sult that the Standard publishes what
Is probably the most striking Inter
view with and character sketch of
President Roosevelt that has over
boon written since the present occu
pant of the White House came before
the notice of the American public.
It Is nearly ten years since Mi-
Crawford has been In Washington.
Then Theodore Roosevelt was merely
the minor experiment of a cautious ad
ministration. The remeetlng , which
resulted in Ihe Interview , was marked
by that frankness of analysis which
can only bo obtained fiom a certain
right on the part of the Interviewer to
pose ns a political "Rip Van Winkle. "
It Is a pity one cannot cable all Mr.
Crawford's Impressions and quota
tions.
"I met the president , " he writes ,
"and had an opportunity of an unin
terrupted conversation with him In
his library for nearly an hour Ho had
\
just returned to Washington , from his
tummer life at Oyster Bay , and was
In the pink of physical condition. Ho
fairly radiates with youth and vitality
He Is quick and decisive , because that
Is the only way In which a successful
administrator of multitudinous com
plex affairs can get through what ho
Las got to do.
r
I waited for few
a moments , bcfoie
seeing him , In an anteroom , near
where ho was receiving a delegation
presenting a candidate for a diplomat
ic position. The chairman of the del
egation was very respectful , very low-
voiced , very discreet , bul no ono can
have secrel Interviews with the presi
dent. He always roars out his replies
" 'No , no , ' said Mr. Roosevelt to the
applicant. 'You've shot too high. The
man's a good man. I like him and am
willing to give him a place , but it must
be one more suited to his talents.
He's applied for something beyond his
talents. '
Likes the Job.
"This absolutely ended the discus
sion. ss
"To another heavy-browed states
man , who was complimenting him
upon his fat condition , Mr. Roosevelt
said :
' "I suppose I ought to pull myself 1
together , assume a weary air and say
my strength Is being taxed to the ut
most with the cares and duties of my
high position , but , the fact Is , I like
I the job. I enjoy being president of
the United States. '
"I had many years' expeilence In
the United States in national politics ,
but never before have I known a high
ofllcial admit ho really enjoyed his
position. This naturalness , absence of
humbug and directness represents the
new movement In American politics ,
where party lines aie dally becoming
of less and less Importance.
"The president entered my room
with a rush. His , manner , from the
Euiopean standpoint , might be called
a trifle florid.
"He is emphatic in his welcomes ,
very emphatic In his afllrmalion , and
ida
positively overwhelming In his nega
tives. ad
"He seemed to know his own mind ,
absolutely. He never hesitated.
Mr. Crawford then details a minute
description of the president's melhods
and Ideas. Dealing with the possibility
11f.
ity of a man being nominated for of
fice wllhoul being a candidate for It ,
Mr. Crawford writes :
"It was at the close of my conversa
tion that I ventured to say :
" 'I suppose there's another question
that I haven't a right to ask ? "
"Ho said very promptly :
" 'I know what you mean. Ask It. "
"Tho answer to this , which I cannot
put In quotation marks , was wholly
V In harmony with the president's pub
licly expressed opinions.
May Run Again.
"I Inferred , without one word from
the president , on the subject that this
itsU
vigorous , highly trained president ,
with every equipment for his office : ,
with his gieat practical knowledge of
the best methods to bo employed for
correcting the evils which today overshadow
3rn
shadow American politics , will continue
ner
tinue to bo popular to oven a greater
degree than he Is now and that the
man who thoroughly enjoys being pros.
Ident of the United States , the captain
of high Ideals , and an original domi
nating force In this strenuous world
Idm
of astonishing prosperity and calamitous
itous prosperity , will not refuse a un
animous nomination , If It should come
to him from the republican national
convention. "

IJnssott , Neb. , Nov. 12. Special to
The News : A very pretty but
woddlng took place In the homo of
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Stockwoll yester
day mornliiK at 1 o'clock when Carroll
Kay Oromltirff , a popular and prosper
ous young farmer of Stnart , was mari -
i led to Miss Moltlo 1) . 13alloy of Uas-
sott Rev. GcorRO D. Egner oniclated.

ing passenger train for their future

HIGHER LICENSE , FEWER SALOONS
H. E. Owen Believes That Norfolk
Would be Better Off.
Omaha , Neb , Nov. 10. Editor Nor
folk Daily Ne\\s : While I notice In
votir paper frequently suggestions for
the consldvuitlon of the city council
and the Commercial club , I wish to :
offer ono and will only refer to my
subject from a business slandpoint ,
which will be In favor of higher li
cense and fewer sajoons In lt .
I understand that we now have twelve
saloons and about the same number of
other places selling liquor. In my
opinion It would be better for all con
cerned that we have one-half the number
nlo
ber of saloons and they on the side
streels. The saloons are now scat
tered along the main part of our busi
ness street , in many cases occupying
the best buildings , which Is detriment
al to the adjoining business. Again
the business does not justify more
than half the number of saloons. Anyone
iyr
one of the twelve saloon men in Nor >
folk today could do the business the
twelve arc doing with no additional
expense , which would place them In
bettor financial position lo pay Ihe :
amount that the city now receives
from the twelve saloons. Again wo
would have betler men at the head of
the business and the liquor trafllc
would be much easier controlled. Now
for Instance , Ihere Is the town of
Wayne. Until the last year It had
but two saloons , now has three and
they aie all on the side streels , Independent
leof
pendent fiom the business portion of
the town. Ashland , a prosperous and
one of the busiest and best towns In
the state , has but one saloon , although
ShQ
the town council has many times refused
QW
fused a flattering offer from the brewers
Whe
ers for the privilege of running the
he.h
second one Now there are many oth
er reasons which I might refer to why
hyr
we should have fewer saloons. Norfolk
rrs
folk has had saloons for many years
and doubtlepb will have for years tote
come. Why not raise the license to
$ $1500 or $ $2000 a year and then cut ut
out one-half or two-thirds of the sa
loons of today which are not ng
the proprietors a fair living , and then
bee that the men who pay the licenses
for the privilege of the liquor business
sivo
ness In the city , have the exclusive
right in their line of business.
High license will necessarily mean
fewer saloons. Would the town not
be betler off with three or four sa
loons and they on the side streets ? I
\\111 say In conclusion that there Is
not another town In the stale of Ne
braska loday the size of Norfolk where
Ihere are as many places where liquor
is sold. II. E. Owen.
