a resolution of appeal lor his pardon

The publication of a magazine ar

that it Is an erroneous Idea to asBume
that the average family should have a
larger number of healthy children

aroused the president to a reiteration
of his expressions on the subject of
race suclde and has given him oppor
tunity to emphasize his views on that
subject and renew hU pledge of de

BILLBOARDS.
It is really pathetlc-to Bee with' what
tender solicitude our mayor and city
council take up the question ot bill
boards and street signs, that disfigure
our thoroughfares and spread hide
ousneBs over the natural beauty of the
city. One would suppose that an In
alienable right to plaster fences and
buildings with flaring signs at so much
a square foot were part of the Declara
tion of Independence and engrafted in
our state constitution. That the au
thorltles are not bo tolerant of this
evil in other cities may be gathered
from the following survey of the war

President Roosevelt has recom
mended a pardon, or at least a com
mutation of sentence, for William
January, alias Charles Anderson of
Missouri, whose trials and experiences
with the law. and Its vengeance show
him to be ad up-to-date twentieth cen
ture Jean Valjean. When about 21
years of age January robbed a post
office at Stillwater, Okl. Evidence
showed at the time that he was in a
desperate condition, without work and
almost starving. He was sentenced
to twelve years In a federal prison and
was a model prisoner for five years.
Then came a chance of escape and he
embraced It. ' Assuming the name of
Charles Anderson, January went to
Kansas City, found work, prospered,
married, built himself a home and was
becoming well-to-do when an old cell
mate discovered his identity and be
trayed him to the authorities for the
1(0 reward that had been offered at
the time of his escape.
When January was returned to the
federal vrleou at Fort Leavenworth,

would be bad for us, but the country would
still exist. But it could not continue to
exist If it paid heed to the expressed or Im

Clearly the stork s duty is to get
busy with Its defense. It may be able
to do this by, citing statistics from
other states and . sections, showing
overcrowded kindergartens, record
breaking attendance at Sunday school

seats for "half-price" tickets, the in
creasing and insistent demands for
more parks and playgrounds for the
little folks and multifold other evl
aences ana signs mat tnere is no
"tendency to the elimination rather
than the survival of the fittest" such
as the president fears. We are confi
dent of the stork's ability to make a
showing along these lines that will al
lay the presidents fears, but, of
course, it is still up to the bird to ex
plain why it has discriminated against
Massachusetts. Perhaps it should not
be blamed for doing most of its work
In the more favored fields, but unless
it can show that its Massachusetts
basket has been lost or laid up for re
pairs the stork will be compelled to
rest under a charge of shirking its
duty so far as part of Its route Is con
cerned.

ACCEPTING THK TWO-CEJIT PARE,
Eastern Lines Refuse to Follow Weat-
ra Ezansples.
Philadelphia Press.
Railroads In western states, from Michi
gan across to Nebraska, seven in all, have
accepted without resistance centa a mile
as the new passenger rate. These roads
are not going Into the courts. They are
not asserting charter or other rights, as
the case may be. They stand ready to
obey the law and let the public find out by
experience If the law la wrong.
If these states In the west can afford to
accept a 2-cent passenger act, why should
any states in the east resist? Traffic la
larger here, expensea are lower, and the
change from the old rate to tha new one
Is lesa.
Why should not eastern lines, Including
those in this state, do aa western lines
have, accept the law and obey it? Who
has more to lose, by creating the impression
that a law is made to be resisted and is
to be obeyed only upon compulsion than the
great i all road corporations?
REAL HOME RILE!.
New York's Governor Strongly t'p
holda the Policy.
Chicago Record-Herald.
The New Tork executive Is proving him
self to be one of the most enlightened and
courageous friends ot real home rule that
state has ever had. He has surprised and
gratified the thoughtful cltlxens by a aeries
of little vetoes that are remarkable In their
way.
He has killed bills raising salaries of
stenographers and assistant secretaries of
the Brooklyn under-sheriff, increasing the
pay of cooks and laundresses In local of
fices, regulating the management of a
county Jail and so on.
"It Is absurd," he said tn one of his
brief veto messages, "that the legislature
should be called upon to deal with mat
ters of this sort." The things covered by
these petty local measures should be left
entirely to the local authorities. To the
argument that existing charters and the
existing relations between the legislature
and local administration unfortunately
make it not only possible but actually nec
esssary In many coses to bother the legis
lature with questions of small offlcea, In
creaaea of pay, repair and management of
county buildings and ao on, Governor
Hushes replies that the proper thing to
do Is to secure an amendment of the un
duly restricted municipal charters or pass
a general act extending home rule to cover
all such caeca.
The position Is manifestly sound and
wholly consistent, of course, with the de
mand for Increased power in the execu
tive where the. increase Is necessary to

After having collected at least $30,000, and
perhaps (50,000, from frugal Hungarians In
New York City, Cleveland and Chicago on
the strength of glowing advertisements
claiming valuable land grants, railroad con
cessions and subsidies from the Hungarian
government, the first Hungarian Oil and
Mining company, headquarters in New
York, has been repudiated by the authori
ties at Budapest. Those who bought stock
in the company are looking for their money,
with little prospect of seelryg the color of It.
The concern is pronounced a bald swindle.
The company's prospectus quoted some of
the great profits made by the Standard OH
company as examplea of what might be ex
pected. Finally it offered to aell shares at
$2.50, the par value of which was $5. The
hard-working people on the East Side in
vested their savings, none being allowed
to purchase less than Ave shares at $12.50.
In queer ways the health fad betrays Itself
among New York's fashionable women, and
many of them have found an easier way of
dodging a few millions of microbes than by
submitting themselves to all the pains and
demands of active exercise. It has become
the vogue to discard the use of paper
money.
In spite of Its greater weight, reports the
New York Press, only gold Is permitted to
find Its way Into the dainty portemonnales
with which the society woman arms her
self for her trips abroad. Germs are no
respecters of persons or price, and bills of
high denomination are Just as likely to
suffer from the microbe-carrying propen
sities of paper as are their humbler $1 and
$1 brethren.
The uptown branches of banks have been
experiencing a persistent run on gold re
cently from women. But this caution dees
not cease even here. Gold itself may be
tainted, and .before these prudent women
will handle the coins that come from the
banks their maids are called upon to put
them through a strict process of sterlllxa
tlon. Rigid economists are disposed to com
plain that such vigorous handling will de
crease the lntrlnaic value of the oolns
through what is known as "sweating," but
aa long as the fetiches of "health and
beauty" are believed to demand the aacri
flce there Is little likelihood of the women
abandoning the practice.
The wonders of Coney Island have been
retouched, and new wonders even have been
added. The big feature of the revised Luna
Park is to be "Night and Morning; or, A
Journey Through Heaven and Hell." It Is
said to have cost $50,000 and to be full of
surprises. "The Great Shipwreck" will
show a fishing village In winter, with an
angry sea rolling up to the shore. There
will be a little sketch leading up to the ac
tion of the spectacle. Then darkness ap
proaches and a fearful - storm cornea up
with the night. A rocket Is fired at sea, in
dicating that there is a ship in distress.
Then the entire scene Is changed in the
space of a minute and a half. A lifeboat
puts out from shore and makes for the
ship In distress. This ship Is not a scenlo
Illusion at all. It is a full-sized vessel, and
la making straight for the rocks. It hits
the rocks and begins to break up. The
rescue Is finally effected by the use of tho
buoy. Then the ship goes to pieces and
vanishes.
In all, there will be twenty-four leading
attractions In Luna Park, while Dreamland
and other amusement plnces will have many

the "limit" had been reached before has
only given the managers an excuse to push

With every robbery reported In New

to the front with a boast that whatever

it certainly wasn't under the bed, because

even advertise to that effect,"- said one
manufacturer. "For many years losses of
money and Jewelry were attributed Indl
rctly, at least, to. the bed, which was built
high enough to afford protection to the
thief. Finally, In order to save the good
name of that necessary piece of furniture,
we decided tp build It so low that not

Judging by President Roosevelt's charac
ter and all he has ever said and done since
he has been president, the unanimous re
quest of the people that he be a candidate
for a third term will not alter his purpose
to retire, partly because he has other
reasons than the third-term tradition. The
third-term movement, however, Is probably
grateful to him because it will put It In hlB
power to name his successor. If he will not
serve It would be a strange admirer who
would not favor a man whom he has se
lected to continue his policies.
