THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1903, President Roosevelt is edging his way back to civilization again, and pretty soon we may expect to be, treat ed to a few more of. those carefully prepared speeches. The ' president said' in has Milwaukee speech: "We should be false to the historic princi ples of our government if we discrim inated, either by legislation or admin istration, either for or against a man because of either his wealth or his poverty." ; Now, that sounds good, and it would be all right if it were "backed up by deeds;".for, as he told us last summer, "words are only good when backed up by deeds ". But the president belongs to a party that ha enacted tariff legislation which does discriminate m favor of a few and against the man, says one writer,' and which protects monopolies and trusts while they prey upon the people, and which permits them ' to . sell goods to foreigners at 30 to 100 per cent less than Is charged ' here. What, then, bewmee : of the" pres4dEt's fine phrases? What do these same trusts care for his "publicity" so long as he does not touch the tariff, , which pro tects them in! their g'ame of robbery? What do they care for; his toy "bu reau.", and its sham restraints, if they can keep .their tariff privileges? "As I have said, we (the Trolley Co) secured considerable information, af ter waiting and .watching some time, and it was our intention to give this matter over to the proper authorities, but this ' Citizen s alliance, i or what ever It calls Itself, came along, and we gave , them V; this; information." Colonel Burpee,; 5 - r'P 1 ', It ' will i. be unforttinale : ;lf, prejudice is excited against the sources of in formation. " An . - attempt to Y exalte isuch prejudice Is clearly being made. The investigation is wholly for the public ; interesl; and ought not to be confounded with the issues ; arising out of :the trolley strike. American. ' "Facts is, facts," Mr 'Editor, as will be seen ' from " the nbote statement made by" Colonel Burpee- ' a- repre sentative of the Democrat He plain ly admitted that the evidence against the ..suspected policemen was collect ed by the Trolley Co and turned ovei to the alliance. The simple ' telling of these facts shouldn't be .taken as any attempt to prejudice the cases either one way. or the other. ' It is pretty evident from althat has been said and done that the Trolley Co wouM like to ; see some of the police officers : stripped. But until more substantial charges than have thus far been made are produced , the po lice department, should not be 5ut down ' as incompetent. The Trolley Co and a Sunday paper are their only accusers thus far and this paper may be found defending .them in its next Issue, or perhaps it will reprint , that horrible (?) "picture of the boycott which pictured the city officials going' headforemost . into a' dog - kernel with the.; striker' daily statement , tacked to the outside of it. Political statisticians have been mov ed by the enthusiastic reception of the president in the west to calculate his chances or re-election without New York. For some reason Mr Roosevelt has not been as populer in hia own state as elsewhere, says a writer in Collier's Weekly. His majority ; over Judge Van Wyck was small, and more recently -New; York has shown symp toms of an intention to step out of the republican column. But, as the math ematicians point out, New York has ceased to be the pivotal state. Two hundred and thirty-nine votes are ne cessary to elect a ' president. If Mr Roosevelt loses New. York and Nevada but carries all the other northern states he will have two hundred and eighty three votes. He could lose Illinois and Indiana in addition and" still have enough to win. The inside estimate of the state's that the republican mana gers are sure they will carry, with the electoral vote of each state, is given in this table: Connecticut, 7; Delaware, S; Illinois, 27; Indiana, 15; Iowa, 13; Kan sas, 10; Maine, 6; Massachusetts 16; Michigan, 14; Minnesota, 11; Nebraska, 8; New Jersey, 12; New Hampshire, 4; North Dakota 4; Ohio, 23; Pennsylvaia, 34; South Dakota, 4; Vermont, 4; Washington, 5; West Virginia, 7; Wis consin, .13; Wyoming, 3; total, 243. It will be observed that the states consid ered "doubtful" include California, Colorado, Idaho Maryland, Montana, New York, Oregon Rhode Island and Utah. We venture to say without prejudice that six out of these ten will go republican, , On the figures it wili be seen that the democrats are beaten already, even if they succeed In carry ing New York. But this is a large opuntry with ' 4nany ' different kinds of climate and subject to great-atmospheric disnrhances vthe sturdy democrat in looking at the terri fying figures Wjill feel like that great man Captain Anson, when he had matched an amateur sprinter against an "unknown" who turned out to be the fastest professional in the world. "I can't beat this man," said the amateur. "He is two yard3 better than 1 am." "Run anyhow," said the gallant cap tain; "he may fall down." - HEARD HI PASSING . Mayor Jones of Toledo celebrated his re-election by serenading all the newspapers ' which had omitted to mention hia candidacy. They were fbnslstent and- did not mention the erenade, either.-New Bedford Standard. , ' Z-t , ; i: -A Maine man has six good and suf ficient! ateasons to dennonstrate that the wordd is flat The first of these la that it is flat and he knows it to be so. Pending the dilspioeal of tfliis reason the other five are Sept in re serve. Bridgeport Standard. . A! story is afloat that President Roosevelt cherishes a' hope that (afj ter" remaining in 'the white house un til 1909) he will succeed President El iot at the head of ' Harvard " univers ity. Dr Eliot will then be 75 years of age, and may naturally be expect ed to make way for a 'successor. No doubt Mr Roosevelt will wish to "keep in ;the" public eye" until the end of hia days, and to succeed Pres ident, Eliot will 'certainly enable him to do so. Hartford Times.

TorrihgtoQ Register. BRIGHT SPOT IN PENNELI CASE. A more unsavory mass of apparent corruption has seldom come to the at tention of the public than has been up turned by the investigation which has followed, closely on the heels of the murder of Edwin X, Burdick in Buffa lo. There seems to have been a circle which involved Burdick and Arthur It Pennell, the man whom his classmates In a public letter described as' of. "the highest Yale typel in many :rpf the same transactions and which has per sistently connected the two names and families together in a powerful cycle of circumstance.. ; : V ; " The more that is learned of the case and the inner life of the principals in the case the worse it appears. The only' person whose : name has tbeen dragged into the matter who hag come out without 'a taint or a smirch was Mrs Pennell, the loyal and apparently devoted wife of a, man whom develop ments have-ehown to haye been un- worthy of that love and trust. New Haven may feel proud that, in spite of all the entangling lines of testimony and circumstantial evidence which has come to light in the inquests and in the subsequent developments of the private affairs of . Mr Pennell. no one has attempted to drag Mrs Pennelrs name through the mire. This .should be especially pleasing to local people, for this was Mrs Pennelt's home be fore her' marlage,7 irlt; is almost-wom derful that any one could be "connected in the most remote way with a . case of this sort without haTing the finger of blame pointed at them by those maliciously s inclined". MrsY Pennell's memory, however. Is clean and her. reputation stands out pure white against the background of so much blackness. , .' :Y' .,: ' Wliile the developments In these two cases have been most sensational and have been read . v tLe ' public ; with avidity, we shall feel a measure of re lief when the entire Incident is closed, but if the assertions which have re cently been made concerning the finan cial affairs of Pennell are true there will be echoes of this now famous case for months and possibly years. In the meantime people are wonder ing how Mr Pennell'jp classmates at Yale, who so spontaneously prepared for publication the effusive letter re garding his personal character and habits may now. feel in s view of the testimony which has come out con cerning the private life of this mem ber of tie- class of '87 at Yale-New Haven Palladium. CHAMPION FEMADE SQUATTER. This Wtaman Takes ' Posession of First Vacant House She Sees.' . Margaret Roth, who of late has earned for herself the (distinction of being the champion female squatter of this section of the state, is in trouble - again, says the Bridgeport Farmer. 1 Twice yesterday she was ousted from . self -appropriated posses sions, and the chances are that" she will get it again just as soon as some other property owner finds : her es conced in his belongings. ; Margaret of late has had the habit of roosting 'almost anywhere she can find an empty tenement. It makes no difference to her whether it be a manedoq.ja flat or a dry goods box, so long as It is unoccupied. A few days ago Margaret moved herself and her furniture Into a -small : store, for merly used for a'' barber shop at the corner of Noble avenue and Sterling street ' The owner didnt know of this until yesterday, when he ordered her to va cate. Margaret refused, claiming a squatter's right Two police officers called on her In the morning and gave Margaret an hour to vamoose. But Margaret never leaves until she has to " Sbe,risnt;tbat.kind., In the even ing the cops, called again and Margar, ef had to go.

LIMIT OF FIFTY-FOUR HOURS A WEEK A CblK Under Sixteen Year May Be Employed Only on Certificate of Health B6ard Showlnar Agre and School Attendance. ALBANY, N. Y., April 16. Governor Odell has signed the second of the im portant child labor bills passed by the present legislature. The first was the bill providing for the licensing of news boys in cities of the first class. The Second bill signed was the Hill-Finch bill regulating the labor of women and children in factories. , The bill forbids the employment in i or In connection with any factory in ! this state of any child - under sixteen ! (the present law forbids their employ ment at all under fourteen) without a certificate issued by the health authori ties of the city or town showing his age and that he has attended school the equivalent of 130 days in the school year.''- ' : .V" V . .' ;..'-.'.'' - It limits the hours of employment of such children to fifty-four hours in any week and eight hours in any day and to the hours between 6 a. m. and 0 p., m.' The presence, of children in the factory in prohibited hours is to be prima facie evidence of violation of the law. ( The hours of women are. limited to the same hours of the day, but may be sixty hours in a week or ten hours in a day and longer v only under special arrangement in order to shorten some other workday in the week.

Each side will - submit statistics, arguments; :of counsel will be made, and the members of the board will inspect Lowell mills and a so called "model" mill in New ; Bedford or elsewhere. It is the claim of. Lowell manufacturers that the "model" mill can a'fford to pay higher wages than the old style plants here.
