ADDRESSED TO R. SPRECKELS
President Urgei That the Proiecu
tori do Not Become Disheartened
and by All Meant Keep up the
Fight,
SAN FRANCISCO.-June 20.The
Call today print a letter dated June
8, at the white home Washington,
from President Roosevelt, to Mr,
Rudolph SpreckrU in which he com
ment upon the local graft proiecu
i ...
uoni aim urgea tue prosecutor! to
"keep up the fight.". The following
t a synopsis of the text:
"My Dear Mr. Spreckeli-I know
that you and Mr. Ileney and the
(then anociated with you mint feel
flown hearted when you ice men
r guilty of atrocious crunci who for
tome cause or other succeed in es
caping punishment, and especially
when you see men of wealth and of
high social standing blinding togeth
er against you,
"My dear sir, I want you to feel
that your experience is limply the
experience of all of ui who are en
gnged in this fight. There it no form
of slander and of wicked falsehood
'which will not as a matter of courie
be employed against all engaged in
such a struggle.
"Now I do hope that you and your
colleagues will treat all this bitter
ness with entire disregard. It is of
small consequence to you or to any
of us who are engaged in this work
whether men think well or ill of us
personally; but it is of very great
consequence that we should do the
work without flinching. Therefore I
fKjpe you and Heney and your asso-
yiates will keep reasonably (rood
atured; but that above all that
oit will not lose he art. You
mist buttle on valiantly, no matter
what the biggest business men may
say, no matter what the mob may
s:iy, no matter what may be said by
that clement which may be regarded
as the bet society. You must stead
fastly oppose those foolish or wicked
men who would substitute class con
sciousness and loyalty to class inter
et for loyalty to American citizenhip
as a whole for loyalty to the immu
table laws of righteousness, of just
and fair dealing as between man and
man.
"It is just as bad to be ruled by a
plutocracy as by a mob. It is pro
foundly un-American and in a social
sense, profoundly immoral, to Hand
for or aganst a given man, because
he is or is not a brave, upright and
able man, but because he does or
docs not belong to a labor union or

harness interests. In their essence,
down at the foundation of things, the
ties that are all important are those
that knit honest men, brave mcn,i
together and it is mighty poor sub
stitute if we replace these ties by
those that bind men toegther wheth
er they are good or bad simply be
cause they follow a particular busi
ness, have a given social standing or
belong to a particlar organization.
"Indeed, if there can be any de
grees in the contcmptous abhorrence
with which right-thinking citizens
should regard corruption it must be
felt in its most extreme form for the
so-called "best citizens" the men high
in business and social life, who by
backing up or by preventing the
punishment of wealthy criminals set
the. seal of their approval on crime
and give honor to rich felons,
"You have heart breaking difficul
ties with which to contend, You have
to fight not only the banded powers
of evil, but alas that it should be
sajd, the supineness and indifference
of many good men on whose zealous
support you had a right to feel that
you could rely. Do not be discour
aged; do not flinch. You are in a
fight for plain decency, for the plain
democracy of the plain people who
bolijtve in honesty and in fair dealing
as .'between man and man. ; Do not
come disheartened. Keep up the
ght.
"Very sincerely yours,
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT," ,

Frank A. Gotch, world's champion
wrestler, according to his own state'
meat, stands a possible cuauce to lose
bis title to Dr. Holler lu a match
which will bo decided Id Seattle,
Wash., on June 20.
Gotcu states It is his opinion that
Dr. Roller Is tho best wrestler In the
United States, of course barring him
self. Gotch says that be thinks be
will be able to defeat Holler, but that
he expects oue of tho hardest tussles
of his career. Gotch met Holler In a
match la Seattle a year ago last fall.
He was the American champion at
that time and offered to throw Holler
twice In an hour. When bo reached
Seattle, be asserts, be was not at his
(test, as he had been traveling all the
previous night His frleuds warued
lilin that Holler was a hard man to
beat, but he bad beard the same thing
ou hundreds of occasions in other cit
ies and merely laughed at their ad
vice to be careful with Roller. Speak
ing of the match with Holler, Gotch
said:
"When Holler entered the rlug I was
a bit surprised. lie stood six feet one
Inch and weighed close to 210 pounds,
lie was about twenty-five years of
ago and appeared a perfect athlete. I
afterward learned that he played Rug
by football at oue of the eastern uni
versities. Nevertheless I sized blm up
ns a strong, big athlete and did not ex
pect much trouble.
"I roughed It up with him hard for
tho (list Ufteeii mlutites. I found that
he kuew tho game and was fast aud
strong. Nevertheless 1 thought 1 bud
blm, so I slowed up for the next quar
ter of au hour so as to make a big
spurt, during which I would sail In
ufter blu)nnd toss him so hard and
quickly that I would take all of the
tight out of blm for tho second bout .
"To my surprise, Holler, when 1
slowed down, also started taking mat
ters easy. Wheu I rested up I weut
after Holler as hard as I ever went
ufter any mau. 1 was thunderstruck
wheu 1 found that he not only came
buck ou me strong, but fairly carried
me about the mat by his rushes and
bard work. He bad mo tired lu a few
minutes aud, picking me up, slammed
me dowu on my head. You bet I was
scared. When I managed to get on
my feet 1 ran aud stalled about as 1
uever did before or hope never to do
again. To tell the truth, 1 was lucky
to avoid belug thrown, and the souud
of the bell at the end of the hour was
the must pleasant souud 1 believe I
ever heard.
"Holler could muke a lot of money If
he would give up his practice at Seat
tle aud take up wrestling as a busi
ness, lie does not want to leave Seat
tle and is what might bo considered an
amateur at the game. He defeated
lieel lu two straight fulls recently, aud
1 tuluk that Beel can defeat Charles
Olseu. 1 fault the American wrestlers
Holler, Heel aud Olsen. Rqller bus a
standing offer .'of $l,0du In a Seattle
bunk for a wrestling match with any
body. 1 am going after that $1,000,
andbesides, 1 thluk we will get a big
guarantee, to wrestle oil June 20."

LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 20.-The
following address of Dr. M, C. Haz
ard, of Boston, aud who is president
of the Sunday School Editorial Asso
ciation, was delivered here before the
International Sunday School Conven
tion:
There is a prevalent impression
that graded lessons will be more dif
ficult to teach, than the uniform les
son. Dr. M. C. Hazard in his paper
souht to show that on the contrary
the graded lesson would be easier to
teach, and thus be a benefit particu
larly to the small, country, frontier
or backwoods schools. The advan
tages of the graded lessons over the
uniform lesson grow out of the fact
that they are selected with reference
to the capacities, appurtenances and
requirement of each grade in the
school. Psychology .shows itiat at
different ages the mind of the child
requires different nutriment. Graded
lessons are based upon this fact, and
provided for each grade the lessons)
suitable for it. Over the system of
one lesson for the whole school they
start with this advantage that in each
grade 'the scholars are in sympathy
with the material provided for it. The
lesson docs not have to be adopted
to them; it is already adopted.
The system of one lesson for all in
the school absolutely ingnores the
need of scholars of varying ages for
different material. It gives to one
portion of the school ttie matter
which is just suited to it, and tries to
adopt the matter to the rest. In do
ing this some teachers succeed in in
teresting their scholars, but it is evi
dent that it takes more brains, train
ing and tact to adopt an unsuitable
lesson than it would to teach one
which at the start is just fitted for
them. The graded lessons, therefore,
will be a help to those who do not
have this ability and training.
There is no foundation for the idea
that the graded lessons will require
as teachers those who have a consid
erable knowledge of child psychology
and pedagogy. So far as possible
every teacher should know some
thing of them, but in the new system
that knowledge will be more neces
sary than in the old. A familiar ac
quaintance with them will be neces
sary by those who select the lessons,
that they may be exactly suited to. the
different grades, but not in those
who make use of them, any more
than it is needful that those who
make use of a good macadam or Tel
ford road should know bow it is con
In changing from the uniform to
the graded lessons a school would
lose the possibility of holding gener
al teachers' meetings. But few teach
ers' metings arc successful, mainly
because the special needs and diffi
culties of the different. grades are not
considered. Teachers of the smaller
...Ml. . . ...
ennuren, wno neglect their own
teachers' meeting, often at consider
able trouble attend a Primary Union
because they there get just the help
they, need. The fact suggests that it
will be easier to get together the
teachers of the same grade, for hav
ing the same problem to meet they
will get more help from each other.
Better teachers' meetings of this sort
will result from having graded les
sons. Graded lessons are conceived upon
the right principle the right mater
ial for each grade in the school. If
that principle be well carried out,
there can be no question as to their
ultimate adoption by the schools. I
fully believe that American teachers
are quick-witted enough to perceive
what will Berve them best. The grad
ed lessons before us have been so
carefully prepared that it would be
folly not to give them a fair and full
trial.
