A. Jessup contributes an appreciation of Robert Burns that speaks the feeling of hundreds of thousands of admirers. V. V. Passage's letter dated October 11 in answer to "A Student" appears in this number of the Forum.

It was a prompt reply to a suggestion of cowardice (as a thinker) on his part; and had only been held because of the pressure of other matter in hot campaign times. Many political letters for which The Eagle, even with more than two pages used for the purpose of handling correspondence on Sunday last, could not find space are now dead. The mill will never grind again with predictions of Stlmson's election. preached In Plymouth Church. Brooklyn, on last Sabbath morning.

I therefore quite feel It my duty to write you the Impressions which I have experienced in reading the same: First of all, I do not think that the noted preacher was felicltious in wording his subject, which was. "The Oreat-neBs of a Man, the Greatness of Ood in Him." There might possibly by a straining be such a subject forced from the words of the apostle, but evidently that was not what he had In view. The fact that these words are found in the text: "Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" shows that the apostle was looking forward, and pointing to the time when man would be perfect and one with Christ. But Dr. Gunsaulus conveyed the Impression all the way through by referring to reformers that men had had the fullness of God within them and yhat Christians were en-Joying that fullness now.

To my mind it was a great mistake and left the people without any hope of an uplift to something higher, which they usually look for in a sermon. The apostle in other places speaks to believers as little children and babes In Christ, and that Is Just about all believers are to this day, and herein is a great trouble. Christians do not desire to leave the Infant stage to become by self-denial "men and women of full stature in Christ Jesus, and filled with all the fullness of God." It is evidently a great stretch from infancy to manhood in Christ Jesus, and when believers have covered it the i.iillenuium will be here and the desert blossom as the rose. Thanks for sending me the paper. MORTIMER SMITH.

A letter printed to-day from Bela Tokajt was written on the eve of election, In which hiB spirit showed vague forebodings of the result, and he insisted that, "win or the struggle must go on. Incidentally he expressed due appreciation of the great supplementary Forum pages in Sunday's Eagle and bore witness to the fact that The Eagle is read all over the country. Eugene V. Hrewster announces that he thinks of hanging out his shingle as a weather prophet, after having pre. dieted in letters to a number of friends last week that Dlx would get 60,000 plurality.

V. X. CV throws some gentle irony at the site for the new post office branch to accommodate the Kensington section. lie lauds the section chosen as secluded, close, to freight tracks, and restful. He satirically re able place to live.

The most pretty part of Jersey couldn't hold a candle to our residential section along the Shore Road, which Is one of the most beautiful spo.s on this planet barring none. The writer personally knows of hundreds of peop! that have left Bay Ridge simply because of the lack of transportation facilities, and very much against their will, but it was a case of compulsion. Ask any Brooklynlto what he or she thinks of the Fourth avenue subway's chances, and then watch the expression on his or her face. It Is really amusing, being either a look of disgust or a half smile playing around the corners of their mouths, meaning, What are you trying to do, kid me? Every citizen should be Interested in the immediate construction of this public benefaction. Why should a few public-spirited men be left to do all the fighting while the rest stand aside and watch the one-sided fight for public rights? Every citizen should talie it upon himself as.

his duty to agitate the building of this subway and stop the hood-wlnkipg of Southern Brooklyn out of what really belongs to it and has been paid for many times over. The situation as it is to-day is a disgrace to public decency in any modern city. Voting for this or that candidate at election time seems to do no good. What is the reason? Has every candidate got a price tag attached to him? Where doeB our so-called fearless little Mayor stand? How about the Board of Estimate? Is South Brooklyn to Be recognized or is It to be Ignored by the city government except In taxation? Citizens, this question Is up to you, and agitation is the one feature that will compel recognition. Don't be satisfied until you see the laborers excavating all the way to Fort Hamilton and Con-jy Island.

Furthermore, the writer Is not a real estate dealer, but Just a plain taxpayer. R. S. Brooklyn, November 4, 1910. was placed where it would be easy of access to the greater part of the residents of the section.

Su.h penile, imbued with peculiar notions about how government institutions should be run, cannot help but make nuisances of themselves, and arouse tiio impatience of officials who have spent weeks, and even months, in one branch of the government service or another, and who as a consequence, are bound to act Intelligently, and absolutely without the necessity of having to offer any apologies or excuses. Canot thie fault-finders see that the present site is the only ideal one? In the first place, it Is In the geographical center of the new district. That Is the mala thing, to have It exactly in the geographical center, regardless of the center of population. What of it if practically all of the population (humans, of course, not mosauitoes) in to the north of It? And then, by a very fortunate coincidence, this new station immediately adjoins the freight tracks, so the saving in transportation alone will be no insignificant Item. Then, too, the location is a secluded one.

There are few, if any houseu or storeB in its Immediate vicinity, and this Ib a decided advantage, especially at night, enabling people see the lights of the station from a considerable distance in all directions. The lot has a frontage of only six or seven feet cn the main artery of the section. Graves-end avenue, and the hypercritical have seized upen this point with avidity, forgetting that the Flatlron Building In New York itself has about the same frontage on Twenty-third street. Is not that a sufficient precedent? The whole trouble nowadays is that the mere voters are taking entirely too great an interest in the conducting of government, and I do not hesitate to say that it is most annoying, to put It mildly, to have people attacking and criticising politicians who are striving so earnestly to do the people good. temporal mores!

V. N. C. Brooklyn, November 1, 1910. HOP PILLOWS BRING SLEEP.

Former Victim of Insomnia Offers Specific to Suffering World. FOR NOBLE STREET SITE. Greenpolnt Man Does Not Think Hos. pital Will Depreciate Property in Vicinage. Editor The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Genius and Nature once upon a time were passing over the moors of old Scotland when Nature as if in a feeling of conscious pride at the surrounding beauty and majesty of her handiwork turned to her companion and exclaimed: "What canBt thou accomplish with thy great power?" "Try me and see" replied her friend.

Nature stooping plu ked a sod from the moor and casting it at the feet of Genius said: "What canst thou do with that?" Genius smiled and bending low touched the mould and instantly there sprang inu being the great soul of Robert Burns. "Thou hast done weil," exclaimed Nature, "but thy creation will never rise above the element which holds its spirit." And it was so. A bit of animated Scottish clay infused with the fire of ever living genius. Robert Hums in the literature of Scotland was one terminating reach of the pendulum. Sir Walter Scott was tho other.

One nprang from the people of the soil, the other from the aristocratic and cultured, But the song ut their muse was ever sweet, anu possibly to the ear of listening humanity that or the humble ban! was the sweeter. Burns in literature was what Jean Francois Millet was to French peasant life in painting. They Interpreted wlih realistic veracity the story of the lowly toilers of the soil. They gave to their creations an actual living force that clothed their characters with life, movement and being. Th' freshness and beauty of the humble peasant life is theirs; end the music and melody of their song ever refreshing, sweet and new.

In the poet's "Cotter's Saturday Night" we get an insight into the homely experiences of simple Scottish cottage lite with possibly a touch of rejiilniseenec from the English earth worker as depicted by Gray. Let not atnhftlnn mock th-iir useful toil. Their humble juya mirl deatlny obscure Xor grandeur hear, with a disdainful smile, The short, but simple annals uf tho pojr. The theme of Burns' beautiful pastoral Is the humble of the toil worn cotter where meeting the elder bairns he is once more united with them in the family weekly gathering where love and joy unite their hearts in happiness divine. The keynote of this simple impressive bltos is the humble but impressive reverence depicted in the family worship.

The eheerfu' supper done, wl' serious fare. They muntl the insie form a circle wide; The sire turns o'er, wi' patriarchal srttee, The biff ha' Bible ancp his father's pride. His bonnet reverently is laid aside. Then, kneeling: down, to heaven's Eternal Kins. The saint, the father and the husband prays: Hope "sprlnss exulting on That thus they all shall meet In future days.

Burns, with that insight born o' genius, knew the Scotch character as no other poet knew it, and sang with a native sweetness those immortal sonnets ihat endear him forever to the Scottisn neart. With what brilliant splendor is that which Is here simple and lowly, illuminated, when touched by the finger o' immortal genius. Rusticity becomes beautiful, and the lowly toilers of the soil endued with grace enhanced through poetic art. Nature molded the man Burns, uti'i would have left him as any ordinary human creation, but Genius sought him, and crowned him with the imperishable gift of poetic immortality. B.

State of New York will go on just the same. The campaign Just closed was the commencement of the great awakening of the Intelligent and progressive electorate of tiie nation. Roosevelt, the man, may be defeated, but the principles he stands for cannot be defeated. Those who attended the meetings of all the parties In this campaign will admit that Roosevelt Is loved, honored and respected by the common people. The 60,000 people on the East side and West side of Manhattan, uud especially those many thousands, who lest night waited patiently for hours for that hero at the Hamilton Fish Park, at Flit anfl Houston streets, expressed by their presence and unbounded and genuine enthusiasm that they are loyal and truo Rooseveltites; that they believe in the principles advocated by him, and that they are ready at any moment to back turn up in his great fight against bossism, corruption and indecency.

The people will rule! BELA TOKAJI. President National Roosevelt League. New York, November 7. 1910. Happily, the readers of The Eagle are nc generally thus afflicted, and it may worth while to say that Socialism, more than Republicanism or any oth political or economic "ism," has an conception of 'a common Creator." Medalists, in common with economists of sli schools, use the terra with the word to indic.n i the origin of our material resoun Some believe that this origin la a sonal God, others believe it is deveiivi.

ment of natural forces, while otb-rs confess they are unable to choose between these or to believe that eitb: side can positively know. It makes nh solutely no difference to any what Marx or Engels or BebM or the others put together beliove the nature of the Creator. It Is sufficient that tho material Tt sources are obviously intended, either the design of the Creator or in the plan of nature, for the use of all of us. When the people changed the ownership and administration of law and government from private to public hands, it did not involve any change in their belief about the Creator, although they did repudiate the superstition craftily instilled in their minds that the Creator had specially appointed some who witU their descendants were to rule all thci others regardless of the wishes of the others. The same may be said when they changed from private to pubM'i ownership of the Post Office, education, highways, public safety, parks, water, and in most, countries, railroads, telegraphs and public utilities generally.

Why, then, should they change their beliefs regarding the Creator it they adl to these the public ownership of mines, mills and factories? The object of Socialism is to safeguard the people in their opportunity to work and to reeeire the multiplied product of co-ordinated industry and co-operative labor so that being economirally free they moy be In all respects free. If their conceptions of the Creator, by reason of this, should change, would It not be the best possible evidence that their former conceptions had been erroneous? Who Is there that will admit that the Ood he believes in Is opposed to economic justice? People in all limn have either held to religious beliefs or adopted them to the changing conditions resulting I rem economic development and scientific research, which should be evidence so conclusive that even "Student' could not dodge it, that people will do tho same thing when they decide to own and operate railroads, telegraph, telephone and electric lighting, as well as police, fire and water departments, until they own sufficient to be independent of the modern kings of industry and finance. In this age of modern enlightenment It Is, in the opinion of the writer, unworthy and indicative of a sinister purpose to introduce into economic and political discussions questions of religious belief, It is the hour and age. of democracy, political and industrial. The doom of theocracy, "with its divine right of king to rule." its alliance of Church and State, its Inquisitions and countless horrors, has been sounded and he wh? strives to perpetuate or reinstate the tottering thrones of theocracy is not a friend, but an enemy, of the human race Naturally, people who have lived amid these horrors felt a Inathin? and contempt for those responsible for them (very often the heads of the churches), and it la not to be wondered at that those countries and under such conditions this loaiblng and contempt should have found expression in the voices of siieh men as Marx.

Kngels. Bene nod the others quoted by "Student." But this was their personal view of a matter which Socialists the world over Insist shall remain a persnua matter. Tho authorities euoted never sought to inject these views into the official utterances of the delegated bodies representing Socialism A political party is to be judged by itB platform utterances and its legislative career. Neither in Germany nor elsewhere where Socialist have the power to legislate, have the even so much as proposed to interfere with the freedom of the people in tba worship of God as they see fit, or so Ions as one man's worship should not be at the oxpense of those who prefer to worship in some other way, or not to worship at ell. Marx and the others had the right to express themselves upon matters of religion as they chose, but not one Socialist in all the world would admit their right to impose their views upon others as a part of Socialism.

It is worthy of note that the names of Robert Ingersoll and Charles Bradlaugh stand out as the two leading opponents of religion during the past century, and that both these were orthodox in their politics and openly opposed to Socialism. W. W. PASSAGE. 411 Adelphi Street.

October It, 1910. Note This letter was delayed in publication. Mr. Passage was prompt enough in his answer to "Student." Ed Eagle. Editor The Brooklyn Dally Eagle: To any of your readers who suffer from loss of sleep and its attendant evils 1 would say.

Have you tried sleeping on hop pillows? Some time ago I was very greatly troubled with Insomnia and wasted to a mere shadow; I slept but a tew hours at night, and then from sheer exhaustion. My appetite was very poor and I was very nervous. Various remedies were brought into play, such as automobile trips, ocean voyages, long walks at'nlght, but all in vain, when at last I got a hop pillow, which brought the long sought for relief. But I would say that only the choice hops should be used, not the inferior hops. I know from experience that persons in poor health working in the hop fields during the hop-picking seasons, would in a few days get well and grow fat.

Trusting this suggestion may bring some relief to others, I volunteer it with the hope that it will do some good. WILLIAM E. SHERRILL. Lenox, November 3, 1910. ON EVE OF ELECTION.

Editor The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: South Brooklyn and Bay Ridge, the choicest section of land on the western hemisphere, desirable in every way for business, shipping, residential, and a section of the city that Is overtaxed lor what It receives In public Improvements, Is now cut off from the Fourth avenue su'oway at Thirty-sixth street. Who has the more to Bay about the Borough of Brooklyn, the men who have been elected by the people to public office or the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which hogs the transportation facilities of Brooklyn, E. V. BREWSTER, PROPHET. Lawyer Wrote Several Letters Last Week Predicting 60,000 for John A.

Bix. with Its unsatisfactory Bervice and stunt ing the growth of the city? Editor The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: I read your article in last night's Eagle In which Mr. Meyer complained of his company's treatment by the city In regard to the non-payment this year of any of the rent of the old Ridgewood Park Hotel, which has been used for school purposes. I understand that the rent for the place was $3,000 per annum, which I consider too much for the condition the building was In, but as that was the, only building in the neighborhood that was large enough for school purposes, we taxpayers have no cause to complain, and the rent should be paid promptly. I do not know what the option was that Mr.

Meyer gave the city on the six lots adjoining the new school buildings now nearly completed, but I understand from your article that he wants $72,000 for them. I consider that if the city should pay him that figure It would be a downright robbery of the taxpayers. 1 had occasion last January to look up prices of lots in that neighborhood, and have memorandums of two plots on corners of five lots each which aro quite as valuable as the lots that Mr. Meyer wishes to sell to the city at $12,000 each. One plot 100 by 100 was $8,000, and the other, 100 by 100, was $7,700.

Lots on the old Ridgewood Park property, of which the six lots are a part, were quoted $1,200 up to $1,800. If Mr. Meyer considers his property so valuable I desire to inform him through you that I have some property not far away from his that I would gladly sell him at one-sixtb of his price, $12,000 per lot, and consider that I was getting a good price at that. Property certainly must be valuable when you want to sell to the city in Mr. Meyer's opinion, but other property owners cannot get such prices ill that neighborhood.

READER. Richmond Hill, November 3, 1910. A SERMON CRITICISED. Bela Tokaji Wrote to the Eagle Saying, "Win or Lose, the Struggle Will Go On." Editor The Brooklyn Daily Eagle: As one of your daily readers would ask you to kindly print the following letter on page that you have in your paper for these kind of articles. 1 have noticed of late in various papers a givat deal as to a squabble about the selection of a site for an emergency hospiv.il for the Seventeenth Ward.

In the first place they had, or were, about to select a site on Noble street, which I believe Is 75 feet front by 100 feet deep, with a large, well-built house on it, which is very well adapted for the purpose of an emergency hospital, with very little or no alteration, and I understand the owners have put price down to $31,000, which in my estimation is only a fair value for It. On the other hand, I notice the selection of a site on Guernsey street for $9,000, which at the beginning would look much cheaper, but when they come to put on a building it will run away In excess of the other site, and then it would be a hospital In a location in which It would be almost a shame to put such a building. In the first place, it is inconvenient; second, it is on a lot of filled In ground, which is not a lit soil to put a hospital building upon. In the case of the Noble street site there are a few soreheads that opposed It, and just the kind and class of men that would oppose any public improvement. Their claim that a hospital on Noble street would depreciate the property shows they know very little of the nature of a hospital and its surroundings.

There is no doubt in my mind that if the city does not take the site that the owner will be compelled to sell It. He will evidently sell it to some cbaap operation which will Improve the ilte wlui some unsightly tenements and then the neighborhood will bo ruined forever for privacy. The clergyman mentioned who has been interested in this site for a hospital 1 think deserves credit for his good Judgment as to location and for the benefit of the ward and commuity at large. If we had a few more Bueh men as he is we might get improvements in the Seventeenth Ward which have long been due us. I hope that the Board of Estimate will be foresightcd enough to see that the Noble street site Is far superior In each and every way to the site In the dumps at Guernsey street which the talk has been about.

A DAILY READER. Brooklyn, November 7, 1910. Editor The Brooklyn Daily May I not now Join the "I told club? This is the eighth successive election that I have successfully predicted. Last week, from up the state where I was speaking, I wrote to Bryan, Dlx, Woodrow Wilson, McCooey, the state committee, Alma Webster Powell, Shanna Cummlng, my father and many others, predicting Dlx's election by 60,000. The Evening World Just at hand says "about 60,000." I told Judge Gaynor last fall within a few thousand of what his plurality would be.

1 think I shall now open a weather bureau. EUGENE V. BREWSTER. November 9, 1010. ANSWER TO "A STUDENT." The Fourth avenue subway is looked upon as nothing short of a joke.

Nobody haB any faith In the Idea that Southern Brooklyn will ever see a subway; and for what reason have the people lost all faith In the subway? Simply because the B. R. a moneyed corporation, does not want competition, and therefore blocks the wheels of progress with the money that It receives from the people by opposition and injunctions. Any school boy can see this stale of affairs, and the vise-like grip that this corporation has on Brooklyn. Throttling all competition and practically laughing In the faces of the taxpaying citizens is beyond a doubt disgraceful to say the least.

Transportation is the most lmporta.it question in the growth of a modern city. Every intelligent person knows that. And are the people of Bay Ridge and Soiuh Brooklyn a lot of dummies, that tluy will stand aside and let this state cf affairs continue? What Is the purpose of running a subway to Thirty-sixth street and then stopping there, which Ib nowhere? South of Thirty-sixth street is the really great section that needs a subway. The only reason subways are to be built is to enable the flat dwellers get out of the overcrowded sections of Manhattan and into the suburbs of the city. This can only be accomplished by building subways.

You might as well have no subway as to have half a subway. What is worth while starting is worth while finishing. Besides the B. R. T.

getting the benefits of this subway holdup, Jersey Is getting thousands of our taxpaying citizens. And why? Simply because transportation facilities are much better in Jersey. It is not because Jersey is a more desir W. W. Passage's Letter, Written on October 11, Replied to Attack on Socialism.

SOME GENTLE IRONY. Editor The Brooklyn Dally Eagle: Permit me to compliment you, and through you the manager and proprietor of The Eagle, upon the great special Sunday issue of the Forum in your valuable sheet of the 10th of this month. I cannot recollect ever having seen any-, thing like it in any newspaper in America or abroad, and I read a good many newspapers printed in several languages every day. Perhaps many of your readers may not know It, that The Brooklyn Eagle Is read thousands of miles away from this city in the Btates of Washington, the two Dakotas, Idaho, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon, California, and many other states of the Union, but I know it because the members of the National Roosevelt League and the National Republican League In those states read it. The campaign draws to a close o-nlght.

It must be admitted, even by their enemies, that Roosevelt and Stlm-8on fought as hard as they knew how for the success of the progressive Republican ticket. We progressive Republicans, jf course, expect that our ticket will be successful at the polls to-morrow. But win or lose, the progressive move Approval of Secluded Freight Track Site for Parkville P.

Discourse by Dr. Gunsaulus, Mortimer Smith Writes, Didn't Fit Text. Editor the Brooklyn Daily Eagle: In your issue of October 6 "Student" reiterates that the writer has not in his previous letter answered his question as to "Socialism's conception of his phrase, a common creator." He accuses th writer of cowardice and calls "'lunacy" the declaration in favor of Socialism signed by one hundred and sixty-nine clergymen, occupying Christian pulpits in this country, from which it is to be surmised that "Student" is not so much a student as he is a partisan who is unable to see the facts because of blind and unreasoning prejudice, or unwilling to recognize a logical argument when it contravenes hia preconceived notions.

The concert to be given on Sunday next by the Wiiliamsburger Saenger-bund at Palm Garden promises to be a grand success.

Musical Director Dr. Felix Jaeger has prepared au exceptional good programme for the affair. When the Brooklyn League of the Na thought, he admitted. He had believed that the Democrats were the real indi-pendents, that they had led the van in splitting their tickets. ho overlooked twenty years of the history of political parties In this land.

Thoughts anent tho Democratic landslide: Maine surely did serve as political weather, vans this year. It showed the way the wind was to blow. A stupendous proof that the American people have determined to shake loose from party bosses is seen in Pennsylvania, where a half million Republican plurality is reduced to 25,000. New York went exactly n3 everybody agreed It. would before Colonel Roosevelt took the stump.

Palder of Brooklyn is the only Republican elected in Greater New York. Apparently the Republicans rebuked their Congressmen for supporting Speaker Cannon, while the Democrats ftvrgave their mlsropresentatlves In the present Congress for going over to his support. Strnnge, isn't it? William Sulzer. who never has been defeated for an elective office, goes back to Washington, as usual. Tn my mind's eye I can see Joseph Benson Foralter executing a veritable rouchee-eouchee upon his office table In Cincinnati.

Time brings Its revenges, as well as its rewards. Dr. Bryan apparently got on the right side when he repudiated Dnhlman, the Democratic candidate. The state has gono Republican by a nnrrow plurality. Taylor of Tennessee fiddled with fate once too often.

Wonderful to say. Old Hickory's state has gone Republican! The well known Spanish maxim, 'I don't play the violin," is recommended to nil politicians. Likewise, don't march with tli biz bassoon.

Ordinarily the Senator from Mlsslppl says, "Well, he will have long to wait." Election night, however, he Raid, "He won't have long to wait, Judging from the sweep to-day." Mr. Wise's interest in politics is not due to the fact that, he is starring In a political play. He takes to politics naturally.

He went into an exciting campaign in the Lambs Club a few weeks ago, the first election contest tho Lambn have had. and was elected Boy, which 's their name for vice-president. At the ciuhhouse a few (lays before the election there was a discussion of the approaching election and a member of the opposition said of the regulars, "You have no principles. You haven't even any platform." To which Willie Collier replied: "They couldn't build a platform strong enough to support Wise." The attraction for next week at the Crescent will be Frederic Thompson's "Via Wireless." written by Wlnchell Smith and Paul Armstrong and produced by Mr. Thompson at the Liberty Theater, Mnnhattan.

He cited the case of Bev-erldge of Indiana, who, according to tho ipeaker's view, sacrificed his future upon the altar of bis principles. Again, said he, as in the past, the Republican party has shown its independence from boss dictation.

We set the pace in 1882. In New York, by turning down Judge Fol-ger and again in 1884 by supplying enough Republican votes to send Grover Cleveland to the White House. I was Inclined to say somethiiiK sir-castic, but merely afked: "What did tho Democrats of this country do for Mr.Kinley in J896?" "McKinloy," was the retort, "would not have been elected had the gold plank been omitted from the St. Louis platform. Any rational Democrat op- possed to a flfty-cent dollar could have been elected that year.

Bryan captured the Chicago convention with a speech: ho received on enormous vote and would haw been elected but for hia silver heresy. The leaven was then working among Republicans in all parts of the land. Had a leader then arisen, the old line Republicans would. have been repudiated. Yea, one million Republicans would have swallowed Bryan bad his follies not been bo rabid." "The Republican party lost Its opportunity to break away from the past and to show its love of right rather than might, when It seated Hayes," I ventured to say.

"Subsequent remorse In the breast of every honorable Republican over that proceeding. In which the was practically bought, caused the birth of the independent voter. He was born of self Introspection and metaphorically speaking, fasting and prayer." All subsequent disrespect for the United States Htipromo Court dmcB from its einht to seven votes on the tainted returns from the throe stales of Louisiana, Florida and Oregon. Perhaps Colonol Roosevelt was not conscious that hia antipathy dated back to 1876, when he was hardly 18 yearB of riKu, but such is the fact, whether he would admit It or not. Yes, it is "an old story," but one that will never cease to he told while a single Republican Who acquiesced In tho seating of Hayes remains alive.

Their portion must always be humiliation that a great man was sacrificed for the sake of a pack of grafting officeholders. Democrats endured the outrage with complacency, but Republicans never havo renovered their self-respect. There was tho well spring of Independence.
