POLITICS OF THE DAY

The Tamptation of Teddy, The secretary to the President has Issued a statement of the way President jwsawCTt mmjft'TOT —nnr-wvr whllef in the YeHoWstdne P.lrß.' His principal ainusemeurlunr m*en fishing, whic| must have heew a ehiWy pfeasure, fiof we’n'pe inform ctUthht the Snow Is aii feet deefi W the S-alleys' along the strffims prict'entirefy fills many of the ciujyoqa. ‘The isepretarj' says: “Oh, entering the park-the President infpsuw ed Major Pitcher that he would not, under any circumstances, lire-* shot at anything while in the pnrk, and he took nefthei" rifle not shofgtitl with him. j 'The' piri’t.V Md sdiiie feorid fishing, gml the President and Mr. Burroughs rishhT' h“'large' part (if tTielFTlme In following and watching at close the great. herds of game, chiefly elk, but also mountain sheep, teej and aofelope.” President Roosevelt must evidently ie schooling himself to withstand temptation, and if the secretary Is telling tlie Iniftf land tiie. whole truth, the President certainly has more control of the hunting fever that \yas supposed to possess him than most of us would- have under similar circumstances. But the greatest temptation of the. President was yet to come. It will be noticed that nothing was said •...gfeqittJtegOi,- AUPupd pgi’k,, ffrfz;tfy "tuars, fTilmimon liears 'Aria MM»dj-taJ;e» the p»eca ution to 1 the Jltars/tg ft twiilof tl&vpurll itlat the President would not visit. The Press correspondents tell, however, of hearing two shots and it is feared that a hear —perhaps two of them—escaped from the corral and investigated the President at too .close range. It does not require much stretch of, the imagination to see the President seize a gun from his nearest attendant and with two shots slay the hears who had thus dared him. If the President was unable to withstand the temptation at such close range what mortal can blame him? Even saints have erred under similar circumstances. In the temptations of the good Saiut Anthony we are told that: :*he good Saint Anthony kept his eyes so firmly fixed on his Holy Book, .Acre was not a devil, or imp was there, could get him to give so > much as a look. There were devils black and devils blue and devils there of every hue, r But a laughing woman with coal black eyes, she turned out the worst dauiX afcaUl- - .. .. That was the first hud only time Faint Anthony feH to temptation. -Unfortunately the President has suctaiMK there*#*, an jtftgSlc tor _j{ist beyre park the officials of the American Protcctlve Tariff League visited him at the White House and boast that they tempted, tse ©osldeatj&y offers of sup-port-tor the renomination and threats to defeat him if he did not advocate In his speeches to “staled pat” qn the tariff issue. ’ . President Roosevelt, It Is stated, changed front from the “lowa idea”

to the ultra protectionism of the league thus reversing his position from being the champion of reciprocity to being niQst afjjent proteetioulsb f Tke tjtoeakinfc oft vtke ifchleveiheirßfof the league,' saiil: ‘“lt has combated the “lowa idea” so sue; cessfully that President Roosevelt*, whp started out with a declaration that T Be~watiW *%tand pas rm the McKinley paliqius, which • Included reciprocity, has tww ettnfc hided; tt» .“stand pat” with the high tariff faction ofdtls party. The temptation of another term as •President was top much for Mr. RooseveltT and having thus tmccumbed to this temptation, lie was an easy mark for. the bears of the Yellowstone Park. There* is another great temptation awaiting the President. The decision hi tiie merger case give* the administration an opportunity > to prosecute many of the 800 trusts combines that vex the people, but the bad trusts —and where is there a good one—will tempt him-to let themi. alone as the league has done with the tariff issue. _ _ More Scandals. -l» addition to the gigantic scandal in the Postoffice Department which is seriously crippling its usefulness, in which the public are so much interested, the era of loot appears to have become epidemic and has spread to our new possessions. In Manila smuggling by some of the 'tpcntTtermflsteis, wlnr-wrc in command of the-transports, has bfen discovered, and ih Porto Rico a *mngber of officers of the,army and navy find some high civil employes have bceh convicted of the same offense,. In the latter cases 1 serious scandal had been developed K w , khli liirwlma Hit administration, for under the instructions of two members of the cabinet the convicted officers have,been allowed to compromise the os mom against them by paying fines. This extraordinary favoritism would pqdNdily have paver come if s«sme\natlve PSrtoißicuot crimes and are now serving long sen\)^a*cfn^<me # sef W blnd the bars and allowing the others to go free because they bad official influence and were officers of the United

States, created a great sensation amongst the Porto Ricans. They had fondly imagined that the laws of the‘ 'Vnlted States vvould be strictly >iiforced against all alike and that the 4ra of compounding felonies had passJd away with the retirement of the panlards. The friends of , the Porto Ricans who are undergoing conflnfchieut in the penitentiary for smuggling Are now demanding that they be purfloned. A statement issued by the Treasury department says: “It was directed by the President that Secretary Moody hnd Postmaster General Payne should investigate the entire subject upon their arrival at Porto Rico, and. that the cases should he dealt with In accordance with their recommendation. “The recommendation >yas 'that g‘H criminal proceedings should be dismissed and discontinued upon the payment of the civil obligation, as above siatei In accordance with, this recommendi tion the Attorney General directed th United States attorney for Porto,Rtc to dismiss the pending cases and T present no more cases to the grand jury until he was otherwise instructed. The cases involve certain of the army and navy, and certain ci-vilian-employes of the government of Porto Rico.” to' s,pi> : !i the scamtai did not have Ttiw-trokod-for effect, for a dtHpalehfrom Porto Bieo-says: • , 'i j - “The grand jury to-day called many M-itnesses in The -smuggling cases 4n which officers of the United States navy and other prtariiaeijt.ynon are involved, and secured from the court commissioner who presided at the former hearings, a copy of the testimony taken. “The prisoners who are confined in' the .penitentiary, for smuggling, have presented a petitlou requesting that they be pardoned and released unless others guilty of the same offense are punished.” The Porto Ricans evidently believe that \that js sauge .for the ,untivq ( goose should be sauce for the United States gander, but they will find flint official influence Is a powerful lever tr protect the influential criminal* an< that those without such friends mus bear the full brunt of tire law.

President’s Mistaken. President Roosevelt said, in bis speech at Sioux Falls that “the national government has a small field In which It can work in labor matters.”' The truth of this statement is clialflenged by several labor leaders, who assert, In the language! of Mr. John W. Hayes, president of the Knights of Labor, that “the field is infinite. The National Congress could be kept tanch busier dealing with labor matters anil enacting tabor laws of a national scope than with all Its dealings with capital.” ' The most interesting part of Mr. HnyeS’ interview on tjiis. subject is tl(e following: “I might mention the immigration laws. There be.a protective tariff law against the importation of cheap labor. We fax the articles that these men make while living in forefgn house; biff they) can come to this country and -Work

RETURN OF THE PRESIDENT.

.! 1 . -i. ■■ ■ ■ i, ] id* Vacation tn V»Uowiton« Park and- Resumes Tour, President Roosevelt’s vacation in Tel* 1< rstope Park ended Priday. The Presld it and all those who accompanied him o his, tour of the park are delighted v tli me trip. No accident occurred, and f ■ the most part they had delightful v asher. John Burroughs was «lso g >atly benefited by bis outdoor life and h i face is ns bronzed as that pf.the.Presi< ?nt. The President Spent most bf his Is in studying the habits of the game abounds in the park. He would lie hours nenr a herd of elk or mountain s and frequently walk eight or ten «to observe them. He also studiolife with Mr. Burroughs. Mr. Burris was able to show him but one with which be was not acquainted, ely, the soltaire ——__ he President’s camp was composed ;wo Sibley tents and one wail tent lout board floors, and while everyg was very simple, yet It was quite t Ipinfortable. The party consisted of Jpajor Pitcher, Mr., Burroughs, a couple Ojf orderlies and two cooks. There also Was a small force of men to man the ||aek wagon. ! During the visit to GeySerl*nd U few ays ago- the President and Mr. BurjUghs were on skis and started tp race owuhill. The snow was soft, and Mr. turroughs, who had never used a ski efpre, soon found himself with His head i the snow and his feet in the hlr. He ad hardly struggled to liis feet whefr tie president duplicated the performnce. Neither ope Was hurt, but Major 'itcher secured excellent photographs of lie catastrophe, (While no. accident ooctiwed, the.Presi?nt had a number of narrow escapes, ne day, in company with Major l’itch- \ he fired w new-revolver at q tree, lie weapon was defective and the .empty lell flew back and struck the President an the cheek,, drawing the blood. If K had struck a little higher up it would Mnve injured, if hot blinde'J, one eye. The President strictly adhered to his determination not to fire h shot at a living 3iniinnl in the park, and the only time he discharged a firearm was when he and Major I‘itcher indulged in this target practice. ‘ The longest walk enjoyed by the President was taken on Easter Sunday. He started out alone in the morning, declining. the offer of other members of the party to nccompauy him. He spent the day in climbing mountains and walking along the trail. He covered fully twenty miles, and did not return to camp until 7 o’clock in the evening. When Major Pitcher found that the President was determined to go by himself he induced ‘him to take a revolver so that he could signal in case of accident.
