"' ' " The other day at Tacoraa,, aajr the Butte Int;r Mountain, in gathering of prominent republicans of the state of "Washington. President Roosevelt eald: ,I would rather be ail , president for three and a half years than half presi dent for seven and a half years." It was an utterance worthy to be given wider publicity than it has yet achieved It ranks well up with "1 would rather be right than be president." As a dec laration of independence it is quite as stirrintr as the latter famous phrase. In other words, Mr. Roosevelt made it clear that so long as he Is president he is president In fact. He Is not a man of kitchen cabineta or powers behind the throne, and his Tacoma epigram shows that he will . tolerate not the slightest Interference by "interests" in the conduct of his administration. Can didate though he Is for re-election, at this early day he has the nerve and manhood to make & declaration of this character. In some candidates It would mean ruin; In Mr. Roosevelt It means added strength. " ' I GIVE THEM CREDIT. In crying out against . the rich It should not be overlooked that during the year 1902 363 people in the United States gave to charity and to philan thropic and educational institutions no less than SHOOO.OOO. This does not In clude the givings of the poor, for no gift less than 15000 is included.

The venerable Toisoti continues to be a thorn in the side of the caar, criticis ing with all his old-time daring. He has just issued an arraignment of the government for permitting conditions which make possible such outrages as are being perpetrated,-upon the Jews. Tolstoi enjoys the distinction of being the only nun in allthe Rustias who can do that and escape Siberia. To lay a hand on the old patriarch would be to precipitate an uprising among his dis ciples which would be very uncomfort able. NOT UNKNOWN IN THE WEST It Is suggested that Edison's new process for extracting gold. by means of an air bias and without the use of water will be welcomed In Wall street. where the use of water in extracting sold has been carried to such w an extreme ; that the practice Is regarded with much disfavor. In many cases theere is nothing but the water visible. Mr, Edison's dry process is not essentially different from the Wall street wet process, air being as necessary as water to the successful extraction of gold in the stock market, but unlike water it Is usually applied hot.'

Francis, of Missouri is to be hidden until the mo ment comes to spring the Missourian's name upon the democratic convention. Hereupon Mr. Brayn proceeds to part company wilh David R. Francis and all of his friends. He does not like even the men that are liked by the man that Grow Cleveland is said to like. In this way, it is suggested, a man can accumulate a lot of enemies.
