A reasonable amount of this sort of thing furnishes interesting campaign reading, but it can be very letter writers appear to be lacking in the sense and discern ment which invariably signals when the time comes to quit talking or writing That Taft or Bryan, as candidates and rivals, should infuse more vigor and endurance into their exchange of letters is not so strange, and even the most sensitive will concede an} allowance for the natural heat of a candidacy so honorably easily overdone, and our ready desirable. But Mr. Roosevelt's letter of today, while a campaign document of great force, is nevertheless unfortunate for him self, for Mr. ‘Taft, and perhaps for the democratic party. We are all willing to concede that the administration of President Roosevelt was fearless and just as it is possible for human judgment to be fair, but we cannot read the modest admission of the president that “my administration” did this, did that, and did the other thing, to the extent of five thousand words, | without a feeling of regret at the lapse of executive good taste | The fact that Mr. Tait is the candidate for the presidency is| too persistently overlooked by Mr. Roosevelt, who apparently | assumes that he, and not Mr. Taft, is on trial before the voters of the nation. Mr, Roosevelt's good record in office is rather! femote from the merits of either of the present candidates, | and his communications, intended to cast a refulgent Roose velt glory around the large person of Mr. Taft only creates the impression that Mr. Tait is not big enough and strong enough to shine by himself. Had Mr. Roosevelt's letter of today been written by Mr.| Taft it would indeed be aptly:termed “a stinging rebuke the authorship of Mr. Roosevelt climinates the sting, an impression that Mr. Taft weak in his own defe and lowers the dignity of the writer, who could rightfully agsume that the public is well aware of his achievements in The vital question is not what Mr. Roosevelt has done, | but what Mr. Taft or Mr. Bryan will'do. I: may be possible! to forecast Mr. Taft's deeds by judging his past, but to gauge Mr. Taft's future by Mr. Roosevelt's past is no more reasonable than to base our expectations of Mr. Bryan on the record of | Mr. Cleveland. If Mr. Roosevelt must write, and it appears he must, let him write of Taft, and not of Roosevelt, and this is to the! interest of Mr. Taft, more than anybody else. The American nation is a nation of hero worshippers, but there is no quicker incentive to doubt and distrust than to have the hero tell of his heroics, and if Mr. Roosevelt would retain his highly} deserved popularity to the close of his tenure of office he! but is would do well to keep up his good work until the fourth of & March and trust to the people to appreciate his efiorts and reward his party. THE WEAKNESS OF THE POLICE Those to whom police matters are of more than ordinary civic interest cannot but watch the approach of the winter months with apprehension and the fear that the criminal con- ditions attendant on the rainy season will be bad. There is an evident lack of police discipline and control, as manifested by the recent clubbing of citizens and the prevalence of the} demi-monde on Pike st. and First av. N., which is the less assuring by reason of the discernible attempts of Chief Ward! to make it better. li the chief were simply careless or even venal, the situa-| tion would be more hopeful, as public opinion might force! him to his duty and the best of his abilities, but with a chief who is striving and doing his best, the city simply faces the problem of inefficiency, for which there is but one harsh solution In comparison with the Wappenstein administration the | present police management is pale and anaemic, and in that administration Chief Ward, as captain, did loyal and efficient work. As captain, Mr. Ward was in the position of his great-| est usefulness, and none is more willing to admit it than he As chief he has fallen short of success, and has facing him his most trying period. With the winter months come the drifting criminals of all classes in numbers which require a police department keyed to the highest notch to cope with them, and, with all kindness to Mr. Ward, the force is not| in that condition, and gives no indication of an ability to reach it. If Mr. Ward can and will bring his subordinates up with a sharp turn, instill into them the esprit de corps that is ab-| solutely necessary, his task is not hopeless. But it all lies in| the personality of the chief, his executive ability and first hand knowledge of the actual conditions. But unless this is! done, and done immediately, Mr. Ward's administration of this} department will be listed as a costly failure One of the inscrutable paych wical mysterie: is that a man who is willing to kill himaeif because his wife won't live with him, can't make the smaller concessions that would insure a happy home together No matter who've the Har, Mr. Haskell is unique in that he ts | about the only » about “retiring under erson who hawn’t had any grandiloquent modesty \ 491 fire.” jute Kis A qian AMT worn THE STAR--MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1908: THE TEDDYTRIP—BY JUST FINNEGAN CHAPTER Vi.-—-Further Adventures.
