THE WniRLIGIfi OF TIME.
Real light on Mr. Roosevelt is
shed by a private letter which has
come Into our hands, and which has
more personality than many of the
President's longer documents:
"State of New York, Assembly
Chamber, Albany, April 30, 1884.
Dear Mr. North: I wish to write you
a few words just to thank you for
your kindness toward me, and to as
sure you that my head will not be
turned by what I well know was a
mainly accidental success. Although
not a very old man, I have yet lived
a great deal in my life, and I have
known sorrow too bitter and joy too
keen to allow mo to become either
cast down or elated for more than a
very brief period over any success or
defeat.
"I have very little expectation of
being able to keep on in politics;
my success so far has only been won
by nbsolute Indifference as to my
future career; for I doubt If any one
can realize the bitter and venomous
hatred with which I am regarded by
the very politicians who, at Utica
supported me, under dictation from
masters who were influenced by
pofitlcal considerations that were
National and not local in their
scope.
"I realize very thoroughly the ab
solutely ephemeral nature of the
hold I have upon the people, and
the very real and positive hostility
I have excited among the politicians.
I will not stay in public life unless
I can do so on my own terms; and
my Ideal, whether lived up to or
not, is rather a high one.
"For very many reasons I will not
mind going back Into private life for
a few years. My work this winter
has been very harassing, and I feel
both tired and restless; for the next
few months I shall probably be In
Dakota, and I think I shall spend the
next two or three years in making
shooting trips, either in the Far
West or in the great northern woods
and there will be plenty of work
to do writing. If you are ever in or
near New York, let me know, and I
hope to have the pleasure of seeing
you in my homo, either on Long Is
land or In New York; you will always
bo sure of a. welcome. Very truly
yours,
"(Signed)
THEODORE ROOSEVELT."
When Mr. Roosevelt wrote this
letter ho was six months short of 20
years old. Since ho predicted the
early termination of his political
pnrnnr. 2 4 years have passed, and
tho last 19 of them ho has spent
constantly in public olllce. A few
weeks after the date of this letter
ho went to the Republican National
Convontlon as a delegate, and seem
ed to further Insure his political obli
vion by bitterly opposing Blaine.
Thereafter this is tho list of his poli
tical activities:
188G Republican candidate for
Mayor of New York.
1889-1895 National Civil Ser
vice Commissioner.
1895-1897 President New York
Police Board.
1897-1898 Assistant Secretary of
the Navy.
1899-1900 Governor of New
York.
1900-1901 Vice-president of tho
United States.
1901 to dato President of tho
United States.
When ho wrote this letter Mr.
Roosevelt was Just finishing his sec
ond year as an unpopular reformer
in tho Now York Legislature. Ho ad
dressed It to Simon N. D, North,
editor and statistician. Mr. North
was then managing editor of tho
Utica Morning Herald, nnd had com
mended Mr. Roosevelt's courso in tho
legislature. Twenty-four years later
found Mr. North In President Rooso
volt's administration as Director of
tho Census. Will those politicians,
potty nnd great, who cringe and fuss
and scheme and Ho awako nights and
curry favor with this Interest and
that to keep a desperate and slippery
tall-hold on popular favor see the
point? Colliers Weekly. '
DECREASE IN RAILROAD CASUALTIES.
With the reduction In volume of
railway traffic there has been a natu
ral decrease In the number of acci
dents and casualties to passengers
and trainmen says the Spokane
Spokesman Review. This result Is
attributed by the Interstate com
merce commission not merely to the
fact that the fewer number of trains
operated gives less opportunity for
accident, but to the diminished de
mand for overwork and excessive
hours, while the weeding out of the
less competent men Is held to be
an Important factor.
The quarterly accident bulletin
just Issued by the commission covers
October, November and December of
last year. Comparison of the prin
cipal items in this bulletin with
those for the preceding quarter and
for the quarter ending With Decem
ber of the previous year shows a re
markable falling off in the number
of passengers killed in train acci
dents and a considerable reduction
In the fatalities to employes. In the
quarter ended December, 1907, 21
passengers were killed In train acci
dents; in the previous quarter 110;
and in the October-December quar
ter of 190C, 180. Trainmen killed
In train accidents during the same
periods were, respectively, 199, 236
and 294.
The total number of persons killed
In train accidents during October,
November and December, 1907, In
cluding passengers, trainmen and
other classes of employes, was 220
and of Injured 4187.
In addition to these the bulletin
mentions casualties due to other
causes than train accidents bringing
the total for the quarter up to:
Killed, 1092; Injured, 19,366.
It is noticeable that In the fatal
ities to passengers for other causes
than train accidents, such as getting
on or off cars, and said to be largely
due to their own negligence or want
of caution, there is little difference
between the quarter under considera
tion and the corresponding quarter
a year ago, the figures being 61 and
54, respectively. This probably in
dicates that the difference in the
total number of passengers, travel
ing was not large; while, on the
other hand, the diminution in the
number and severity of train acci
dents must have been due to the dimin
ished pressure nuder which trainmen
have had to do their work as a
consequence of the falling off in gen
eral traffic. This gives emphasis to
the Importance of providing that as
traffic Increases there shall be no
overworking of any employes en
gaged In the operating of trains.
A SENILE ROUE AND MISS WOOD.
Ago never appears In a more un
lovely rolo than when posing, with a
self-satisfied smirk and grimace, as
an object of the amorous regards of
youth. All feeling of respect and
Tevorence that by common consent of
civilized peoples is due to gray hair,
and eyebrows touched by the frost
rime of time flees In disgust when the
whitened thatch projects over weak
eyes, watering lasciviously at folly's
Indecent pose as represented by a
young woman ogling for the money
that Is behind the trick that she Is
playing to catch tho senile regards
of tho hoary simpleton. It Is bad
enough and disgusting enough when
tho latter is a plain lumberman or a
lusty cattloman, or an uncouth
miner, whoso accumulations in these
honest vocations havo been the
golden bait that allured tho angler,
but who has not heretofore been
known to tho goneral public. But
when a United States Senator drags
his toga to the slimy social fishing
pond and poses and postures, and
drools and smirks while tho unscru
pulous angler, watching hor chance,
takes him in for tho gudgeon that he
Is, tho disgust of decent people is
augmented and nausea ensues.
It does not matter that Senntor
Piatt probably tells tho indecent
truth, when ho denies that ho was
married to his youthful accuser. He
admits all of tho Important allega
tions of lewd, Immoral conduct and
seeks cover In his infamous part In
the matter at issue In tho slmpV,
boyish declarations thnt tho prosecut
ing witness "fascinated him" nnd ho
was "very fond of her."
Tho great stato of Now York is
tho humiliated sponsor for this senile
simpleton. She know tho man full
well, yet sho bestowed upon him tho
rank nnd tltlo of a United States
sonntor. Who shall say that her
humiliation completo ns It Is boforo
tho world, Is undeserved? Portland

Getting Information Out of Pn.
My pa, he didn't go to town
Last evening after tea,
But got a book and settled down
As comfy as could be.
I'll tell you I was offul glad
To have my pa about
To answer all the things I had
Been tryin to find out.
And so I asked him why the world
Is round, Instead of square,
And why the piggies' tails are curled,
And why don't fish breathe air?
And why the moon don't hit a star
And why the dark is black,
And just how many birds there are
And will the wind come back?
And why does water stay In wells,
And why do June bugs hum,
And Nvhat's the roar I hear In shells,
And when will Christmas come?
And why the grass Is always green,
Instead of sometimes blue,
And why a bean will grow a bean,
And not an apple, too?
And why a horse can't learn to moo,
And why a cow can't neigh?
And do the fairies live on dew,
And what makes hair grow gray
And then my pa got up an gee!
The offul words he said
I hadn't done a thing, but he
Jest sent me off to bed.

An apple was never known to turn

It is easy to get something for noth

A man usually pleases himself when
he marries, but he sometimes finds It

The best thing a mother can teach

The man who delights to hear him
