ROOSEVELT UNAVAILABLE.
Theodore Roosevelt is out of the
presidential running, according to the
latest bulletin from his office. The dec
laration made by Secretary Loeb, to the
Peoria lady correspondent in this behilf.
las. without doubt the authority and
sanction of the president It.is in strict
accord with the character of the man
. that he should hold honestly and stren
uously to his early avowal in this rela
tion. He has never deviated from that
original statement, and there has never
been much hope that he would. He is
not given to flip-flap; and his expres
sions on vital matters such as this may
be taken, once for all, as convictions to
be adhered to. It is to be hoped, how
ever, that between this and the day of
the national convention, something shall
have arisen that will make his accept
ance of the nomination so imperative,
bo indispensable, that even his high
sense of duty as a citizen shall be satis
fied. It is not the most comfortable
thought in the world, that a great party
has its limitations in the matter of
presidential timber, but such is the case
at present, with the republican' party.
There is not a man before the people
who has the popular confidence in any
measure approaching this man; and it
may be necessary to go behind the ranks
of the official classes and pluck some
great, clean, competent man from the
retirement of a quiet, cultured life and
compel his acceptance of the lordliest
gift at the hands of America; but just
who this will be is as much a mystery
as Mr. Roosevelt's unavailability is a
fact. There must be no blundering.
The man who succeeds Theodore Roose
velt must tally close to his standards
as a man and an officer, or the party is
doomed to defeat.

Ilow little have the rulers of our day profited by the lessons of
history! The late secretary of tho navy advocated the increase of tho
American navy to an equal place with the most formidable sea power
in the world. Great Britain launches the Dreadnought and congress
is immediately besieged and implored to appropriate the millions nec
essary to build a larger and MORE DESTRUCTIVE MONSTER.
It is high time that the peace loving people of America should call a
halt in our naval expenditures.

1 ' THE ENDLESS PRESSURE.
San Franciscans with all their splendid
pluck, are in the very furnace of evil
courses. The earthquake demolished
their magnificent city; the fire obliter
ated what the earthquake spared; the
tremendous losses were doubled by the
vicious and contemptible policies pur
sued by the insurance companies, from
whom the only measure of safety and
compensation was looked for; the sail
ors, and their associated workmen, pre
cipitated a hampering and deadening
strike; and now the city is barred
against the receipt of the very essentials
that would make for its comfort and
convenience, in the way of freights from
all the land-board markets of the coun
try; and by land and sea is denied
open and current intercourse with the
commerce that would have acelerated
her up-building. So much for being
dominated by a single transportation
company. She has her hands full of
extraordinary burdens and her heart
full of bitterness and disappointment;
and the world looks on in wonder at her
unfaltering courage and fine audacity in
carrying the inconcievable load.

A statistician says that the lumber
supply of the United States will be
exhausted in 928 years, but who cares f
At that time we of today will be boxed

The Chicago Commons has decided
that an eligible young man who has
saved $500 and met a young woman
whose training at home, in school and
possibly at social settlements and sim
ilar institutions has fitted her to do
her part in the making of an attractive
home, can afford to "pop the question1
and ask that the day be named.
In the absence of exact statistics itjpukory arbitration
is saie 10 guess mac me average
income is considerably less half
of $100 a month. The average
is less than $500 a year.
It is demonstrated by means of tables
and diagrams that on a salary of $100
a month a married couple can, under
the circumstances named, not only live
comfortably in a five-room flat, but save
$300 the first year toward a home of
their own.
Really, income is the least important
thing in happy marriage, and has been
such ever since the red roes of love
first began blooming in the human heart,
The thing absolutely essential to the
happy home are strangely few. Chief
among them are labor and love. Neither
of these costs money. But both of them
often fly from it.
