r*~ ROOSEVELT’S LETTER. President Roosevelt’s letter of acceptance has been received by the independent press of the country with many expressions of regret, some show of temper and in some Instances with evident contempt. The President seemed to think he was in a slugging match and that the dignity of the presidential office could not be lowered by anything he might say. The letter is disappointing to Republicahs, who expected a calm, dispassionate discus-! sion of public affairs, and has received 1 praise only from the hidebound party I organs that are in the pay of the party j and must indorse all that is said and done by its leaders. The Philadelphia Record reflects the general sentiment of the thinking class when it says of the letter: I “President Roosevelt’s letter of acl ceptance stretches to the dimensions ( of a pamphlet. It is longer than some ; of the gospels. That part of it which ' is at once really pertinent and important is contained in the first sentence. The rest is mainly a tirade; an unwarranted Imputation of Insincerities, inconsistencies and misstatements upon the part of his political opponents, and an equally unwarranted brag of | perfection of his own administrative ► exploits and policies. On this basis of blame on the one hand and boast on the other he builds up his argument and makes his appeal to the j country. "There never before has been issued from the White House on any occasion a missive of a public character couched in language of such studied insult to one-half of the people of the United States. It reads like a speech from the throne of a God-anointed ruler instead of an address of a public servant giving an account of his stewardship. It Is a breaking forth which makes only too evident what has been going on in the bottled-up seclusion of Oyster Bay.”

The New York World says that Judge Parker’s decisions as Chief Justice of the court of appeals upon questions affecting labor unions and the rights of individual wage-earners were commended in resolutions adopted by the Workingmen’s Political League at a meeting held in that city recently. This organization is an incorporated state body of representative union men. The resolutions express the warm approval and appreciation of organized labor of Judge Parker’s attitude toward union labor, and declare that “during his judicial life he never struck a blow at labor, but has made the strongest argument ever set forth tn support of labor statutes.” All of which is beyond question. Judge Parker has always been absolutely just and fair in his treatment of all interests. That is what makes him such a splendid candidate. The same quality will maite him a splendid President, also. Republican “prosperity” struck the American Steel and Wire Works at fiouth Sharon, Fa., last week wnen, after a long period of idleness, the employee returned to work and were notified of a 20 per cent reduction. They refused to accept it and are now on strike. Coincident with this "prosperity” at South Sharon, ten thousand men were thrown out at Chicago by the closing of the plants of the Chicago Harvester company, a trust that controls the manufacture of farm machinery. The manager thought there would be a “readjustmnet” of wages when the plant opened up again for business. Os course, a “readjustment" of wages by a trust means a reduction to the employes. A Republican organ asks: "How is it that there are in New York and New England today more savings banks deposits (above $2,000,000,000) than there were in the whole country in 1894 ($1,750,000,000)?” One reason is that the country Is ten years older and richer. Another and important reason is that the bursting of so many balloons of "high finance,” like the shipbuilding trust, and the fatal depression in stocks, like the steel trust “securities,” have led thousands of persons not wage earners to put their money in savings banks. —New York World. The business men of the entire country want peace. They believe the country will have a period of prosperity during the next four years if nothing occurs to cause a loss of confidence In existing values. They feel that if Judge Parker were president nothing of a disturbing character would occur, and that the government would be administered strictly in accordance with the laws and the constitution. —Savannah Nows. Preaident Roosevelt has not yet replied to that very pathetic letter from General Tyner pleading for a public withdrawal ot the President’s cruel aspersions on his character. The General was indicted, tried and Instantly acquitted of complicity in frauds tn the department of justice. The President declared him guilty before he was indicted and has since refused to retract the charge. The Republican papers that have been finding consolation in the returns from the Vermont election should turn to Maine for some more of the same kind They declared Vermont's vote Indicated “drift” to the Republicans and, doubtless, they will regard Democratic gains in Maine in the same light One only needs to look at the record of Indiana legislatures since the Republicans came Into power to see that the 1 rnger the lease runs the greater the burden which they place upon the people.
