HE DIDN'T DEjrr it:
We hope that Mr. Dix and Judge
PiirLer will not fail to notice Colonel
Roosevelt's refusal to tell the people
whether he intends to become king or
not. It occurred at Hudson yesterday,
whore Mr. Job E. Hedges and the "pub
lic enemy"' were speaking from the same
platform. Mr. Hedges, who evidently
felt uu» % asy iv such dangerous company,
tried to draw from his associate a de
nial of the charge that he was planning
to overturn the government- lie said.
I hare heard that the Democrats have
told you not to vote for Stimson this
fall because Roosevelt wants to be kins'.
I don't know about that kinjr business.
but Mr. Roosevelt will answer for him

And then, without another syllable

a word, the "public enemy/* when

Judge' Parker should wake the state
with their thunders over this incident.
Perhaps they can rouse rue lethargic

Mr. Dix in his speech of acceptance
promised to drive the "black horse cav

will tiave much more to say alwmt the
"black horsf cavalry" than Mr. Dix will
have, nnd th^ Legislature, if the Demo
cratic parry is successful, will he under
the control of the men who voted for
the acquittal of Allds. whom the Senate
adjudged a "black horse cavalryman."

Moisant in their undertakings with
aeroplanes. They sought the distinc
tion of pioneer achievement, but they
were man blind to the value of the
money prizes offered for the first per
formance of certain daring feats. M.
Clement doubtless takes satisfaction in
the reputation he has now won, but his
Impelling consideration was probably a
commercial contract. The airship he
has constructed for the British govern
ment was ordered about a yeaxago, and
its acceptance depends on the manner
in which it shall meet special tests.
From the apparent ease with which
the Clement-Bayard made its journey it
would hardly be safe to draw hasty in
ferences. The constructor waited for
propitious weather for the delivery of
his product to the buyer. Had he been
in haste or had he tried to run his air
ship ... accordance with a time schedule
he mijrht have been less fortunate. I'o>
sibly be was influenced by the fate
which has overtaken so many Zeppelin
balloons. Aerial vehicles unquestion
ably will perform military services of
one sort or another in the future, but
it looks as if it would always be neces
sary in handling them to pay some re
gard to meteor' conditions.
JULIA WARD HOWE.
Julia Ward Howe was formally de
scribed, on the occasion of the bestowal
of the degree of Doctor of Letters by
Brown University last year, as "author,
"philanthropist, mother, friend of the
"slave, the prisoner and all who suffer,
"sins^r of the battle hymn of freedom.'"
To each item of the characterization she
was richly entitled, and in each of those
capacities she amply deserves ••'uipni
hrance. Her life was exceptionally long
and active : it was many sided, and
every side of it was luminous with noble
qualities. 'to her ninetieth birthday an
niversary she was able to say. such was
her prolonged vitality and undiminished
interest in her fellow men and worn
that the deeper she drank the cup of life
the sweeter it grew. Almost to the last
she not only herself drank of the cup.
but also gave to the world to drink a
cup of intellectual and spiritual stimulus
the Bweetness of which time has not
staled.
Sh^ will doubtless be. and we may
say. indeed, that she should be. most
] generally remembered as the author of
I "The Battle Hmin of the Republic.''
i That is not. to imply that her numerous
i other writings were unworthy of remem
| brance. On the contrary, .ii" of them
i have appreciably enriched the reading
I world. But that one ringing and re
j splendent lyric seems to stand apart, in
I a class of its own. Conspicuously above
I not only the rest of her works, but also
i above the great mass of writings of that
i time, it stands as the product of inspira-
S tion and as in turn a potent source of
I inspiration. Those who have heard the
I swine: and the surge of its sounding
j lives as sung by an army on the march
I or by a groat multitude impassioned in
' their earnestness can realize something
I of the spiritual force which it has ex
erted upon millions and which it is des
tined still to exen upon people engaged
in a great campaign for freedom.
For a lontrer period than the average
lifetime Julia Ward Howe was engaged
j with more than ordinary activity and
I effectiveness in a variety of labors which
t n-pi-p directed unselfishly toward the up
i lifting of humanity. In the last geuera
j tion of a liff which comprised the span
t of thr^- generations her activities were
! lppsene*! though not abated, while her
| sympathies and interests remained un
; diminished and the honor, affection and
reverence in which she was held steadily
j increased. She been me an American in
stitution. a type of American woman
i hood. American love of humanity nnd
all the bizhest idoals of the American
: personality, the American home and the
■ American commonwealth. She had long
j been to most persons so largely a great
, name and an ennobling tradition that
j h»*r transition from the present to the
I [iast will be publicly less felt than inere
|jy perceived In the written record,
though it will serve to place a final sedl
upon a career marked in an exceptional
degn-e by both practical usefulness
and spiritual beauty.
JOXATHSX P. DOLLITER.
By 1 lie untimely death of Jonathan P.
Dolliver the Uuited States Senate has j
lost a force in polities just ripemu- into
its must impressive st.i::e. .Mr Dolliver
belonged to tht* younger group of Sena
tors, although lii* service in <'on^ross
strrteked back nearly twenty-two yours.
He was elected to the House of Repre
sentatives when he was only thirty years
• .id :uid remained in that body from 1888
to T.hh». when be was transferred to thei
Senate as tbe successor of James H. !
Gear. In his earlier days in the House
he willingly accepted the guidance of hi.- j
senior associates. He was a facile aud|
eloquent talker, with the average orator' 3
disinclination to work bard uud to tbink ;
<>i:t bis leaf Promotion came to him j
easily, and be was contented t<< follow the j
line of least resistance. enil>ellishlu?r and:
illuminating the thoughts of other uivn. \
His mind matured slowly, and it was
not until be had entered tin- Senate and
became encased- iv the controversies
which arose in 190CJ over the Hepburn !
railroad rate bill that he acquired the
habit of standing on his own feet and
forming his own conclusions. From that
t:uie vii he developed rapidly: for his
exceptional power as an orator, applied;
t.> enforce convictions based ou study;
and experience, made him perhaps the
most formidable debater In either house.
In lowa politics Mr. Dolliver wus it fol
lower of Messrs. «;ear. Henderson and
Allison, und was one of Mr. Allisons;
most trusted lieutenants during his
lust two terms in tbe Senate When j
the Republicans <>f lowa showed them
selves more in sympathy with Gov
ernor Cummins than with those who
sought to wear Mr. Allison's mantle Mr. :
Dolliver fouud himself already politically
iv a position to co-operate with Mr. Cum
mins, and he enlisted iv the Progressive
cause with bis natural enthusiasm In
tbe debate in th»» Senate on the Payne
tariff law he exhibited new qualities of
Independence, tenacity and thorough
ness, l'y common consent his eout-rib'i- 1
tions to that debate were the most nota
ble made iv either branch of Cou^resy.
A Democratic colleague, Mr. Rayner, of
Maryland— himself an orator— thus aptly I
described Mr. Dolliver'a performance In
an article written recently for "The j
Baltimore Sun" :

tics nowadays, and the loss of one^ith
. gift ns genuine ■< Mr. Dol liver * n to lv
public misfortune. His powor lay main
in Jim naturalness, his ability tc .reflect
the common thought in an imapn.Mtl
way and in the simplicity and honest>
of his feeling His h at
session of Confess at the unveiling of
the statue of Pierpont, tie first Gtor
, rn((r of West Virginia, was a master
piece in its way. It wis not a .-a^uhaed
eulogy, formal and polished, but a tribute
based on personal recollections and full
of vital characterization and human in
terest. Congress and the country can ill
afford to lose an orator of such power
and charm.
KINGS Jy EXILE.
Ex-Kins Manuel of Portugal has de
cided to settle in England, the tradi
tional friend and ally of the country
which has deposed him. Necessity has
often made England the chosen refuge
of deposed kings. It was absolute neces
sity, apart from all question of predi
lection, that drove Napoleon 111 thither,
for he would have been unwelcome else
where. It was necessity pure and simple
that sent Louis XVI I I there after he had
been ordered to leave Russia and had
been informed that his continued pres
ence in Prussia would be unwelcome and
embarrassing to its government. In Vi
enna he was as heartily disliked as
Napoleon himself Charles X. remem
bering his brother's humiliating experi
ences, naturally returned to the country
that had sheltered them both before the
Restoration, and Louis Philippe had no

The determination of the British gov
ernment to give Canada a free hand in
matters of foreign copyright is reason
able and logical, and the only rause for
surprise is that it has been so long de
layed. It is not to be regarded as a
breaking of the ties between the Domin
ion and the United Kingdom or as a
step toward independence, but rather the
contrary. It is simply a granting of. the
same local authority in copyright that
Canada has long enjoyed In tariff mat
ters, and that means not the promotion
of secession from the empire but the es
tablishment of conditions and relations
which tend to obviate any desire for or
temptation to seek independence.

THE TALK OF THE DAT
The important part played by doss in
the .Red Oruss service is told in picture
and in story in "Popular Mechanics." The
Red Cross in France has a department for
the special training of dogs, and through
its efforts they are taught to search out
the wounded and &nx\v attention to
their location. Untiring work has trained
them not to bark or howl when coming
upon a wounded soldier, but to retrieve
Fume übject belonging to him and carry it
to the iirst Tted Cross worker that can be
found. When the. worker takes the ob
ject from the dog's mouth the animal turns
about and l<*ads the way back. •

A CLEAN CUT ISSUE

Colonel Roosevelt has jump**! in " the fight
between the corrupt trokers in legislation
and the aroused and outraged citizens of
this state, and has so vigorously conducted
th© onslaught upon boss rule In politics
and unjust privilege ln legislation that vic
tory Is fairly in sight.
Deliverance from that degrading pretence
of representing tho rank and file of the
party members, as shown in the delegate
and convention system, can easily be at
tained now i: alto progressive citizens only
net together, and candor requires that* wo
give full credit to Roosevelt for producing
that condition.
At Saratoga the- machine bosses have
been unhorsed, but they were plainly in
the saddle at Rochester, and now. in con
trol of the Democratic party stronger than
ever, are confidently relying upon the
treachery or the Republican beneficiarle3 of
that party's smashed machine to give them
aid. This seems to be a time when all be
lievers in really representative government
should bury all minor differences and rally
in line with Roosevelt in hearty support of
Stlmson.
I have seldom voted a Republican ticket,
but I wish now that I possessed •** times
the steam and ability I have, and 1 would
earnestly use it all in support of this his
tory making, progressive movement and
this regenerated and Lincolnized Repub
lican party. The crisp, clean utterances of
the chief candidate, his unequivocal dec
larations and his decisive and courageous
record stamp him as the most worthy and
capable successor of Hughes that could
possibly have been selected.

OF INTEREST TO THE 20TH S. D.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I have known Julius H. Reiter. who
has ■'■- nominated by Republicans for
Senator of the 2<Kh Senatorial District, for
a lone time, and he is. and every one who
has e\'er rome in contact with him found
him to be, a man of me- highest repute, a
rock of honesty and fidelity and a m:in
who conscientiously strives for govern
mental betterment. Ho stands unequivo
cally for and upon every plank In the Re
publican platform adopted at Saratoga.
Mr. Reiter i3 in sympathy with and is
pledged for direct nominations and the
continuation of al! the methods of our
srreat Gr>\-«»rnor Hushes. He Is for honesty
in politics and "out with the dishonert
I^-prislature." He is in favor of prohibiting
legislators from directly or indirectly being
interested in any municipal or state con
tracts, because it will save municipalities
affected thereby many millions and will
decrease taxation.
I express myself emphrtirallv and unhesi
tatincly that the- voters of the 20th Sen
atorial District could not have found a man
better fitted for the state Senate or a nun
BO fully capable of assuming the responsi
ble duties of rtate Senator, and I cm sure
that they, in their Rood reasonine, will see
fit to extend to him their suffrase.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The report of Postmaster General
Hitchcock, showing that the honest, intel
ligent and economic administration of the
affair? of his departn'Tit ha? already wipri
out most of the postal deficit and will
Boon establish the portal service on a self
supporting basis, proves conclusively the
baselessness of the attack heretofore made
asrainst the second class mail matter. As
some of us have insisted all along, this clas.>
of matter, by originating an enormous
amount of postal business at the higher
rates, increases the revenues of the service
rather than decreases them, and that all
that has ever been necessary to prevent a.
deficit has been to .stop the unnecessary
drain in other directions.
Even now the government lose? heavily
by the huse abuses of the franking privi
lege, which should be confined to far
narrower limits, if r.ot abolished altogether,
and yet more heavily by the inexcusably
extortionate rates paid to the railroads
for transportation of the malls. If with
out stopping these drains the service is al
ready brought to a self-supporting basis
by the simple application of ordinary busi
ness principles, a more thoroughgoing re
form would obviously mak^ it a yieider of
considerable revenue to the government,
and would justify reduction of the first
ela^s rate and various improvements in
service.
In any case, it is to be hoped that we
have heard the last for all time of tha
exploded and insincere pretence that it is
ne-essary to interfere with the .'reedom
of the press, 'or to cut down the reading
matter of the American people, In order to
save the government from bankruptcy
through the postal Belt On the contrary.
many of the arbitrary and unfair rules
autocratically Introduced by Edwin C. ilad
den nnd his successors for the purpose
of Will the periodical? with small capital
and .^ruall circulation should be incontinent
ly abolished.
