WILLIAM H, BERNARD.; WILMINGTON, N. C. Tuesday Morning, October 3. IT IS UP TO EOOSEVELT. V. The Kailroad Gazette is a New York publication ,on the maga zine order, arid is devoted to rail road news and railroad interests. It is regarded as a reputable pub lication and what it has said here tofore has been considered as re liable. However, the Gazette "published somethjng a few days ago that is incredible and which must shock even President RooseH velt's knockers and certainly should appall his hosts of friends 4f he is the President alluded to and the narative is true. Un- .. less the Gazette'has turned "yel low," a recent editorial in that i; publication us revelation that will put it up to the President to explain. Here is a part of that remarkable editorial : ; "' "The major-domo of the' Presi dent of the United States commu nicated by . long-distance tele- : phone to a trunk "line : President the following information and request : The President, with cer tain officers , and -friends, desires to leave Washington; on a date ' named for a trip through several - ' States and stopping at specified cities. For this purposehe wantsa train, and suggests for ihisl own ' use a certain private car which he has already used tind which suits him.. He would also like to have a. certain porter, name given, who had served him before and whom he liked." A list Of special supplies. for the dining car, in ad dition to the ordinary commiss sary, was also submitted. The railroad President assured the President's representative that a plan would be immediately pre pared ni-full detail and forward- ed by mail. - "This was done without delay. The special private car asked for : ' was at the time m far distant ser vice, and therefore unavailable, , : but it happened that quite an ex . act duplicate could be put at the , President's disposal Neither was - the particular porter to be had. " Circumstances had led to a trans fer of his racial volatilities to an ' other sphere of service and enter- . tainment. With these exceptions a schedule was made in full de v tail, giving arrival and leaving : times and complying c with all of the President s suggestions. "The last sentence in the com- j munication informed the major domo that a nominal charge of $50 a day would be made for this -I special train, fully officered and provisioned. It was really a nom ' inal' charge, being less "than cost Nevertheless it produced an im-- mediate reply - and protest by telephone: There was no. author ized appropriation of public iunds tor such an expenditure, and the President could not pos ( sibly afford to pay it from his private purse. Unless the service eould be furnished gratuitously it would not be acceptable. "Railroad presidents are not hard bargainers with powerful ? rulers, and in this case the reply was cordial and reassuring no : .charge would be made for the ser vice. ' But the itinerary covered many hundreds of miles of travel : on other roads, jand the officers of these, other roads, not dealing with the Presidential party, found - an easily understandable , pleasure in sending to the trunk line President their several bills for hauling the Presidential train over their lines. The bills were paid, but some of the letters ac- eompanying them were nnan- swered. " ",The Gazette doesn't name the -particular President whose ' major-domo did the thing mentioned but reading between the lines and strong circumstances point to President Roosevelt as the Presi dent referred to. The article fwas shown to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and a dispatch from the President's home to the New York Herald, which paper was seeking to learn if the chargewas true that the President accepted free transportation from the rail roads of the country, stated briefly-that the Herald's request for a reply "is obviously unanswer . able by the Administration. " It is hard to understand what the dispatch I means whether the charge was really unanswerable or whether - the ; administration wouldnt stoop to answer such a charge. The latter is to be infer red," of eourse, but there are mil lions jf American '. people, who think the charge is sufficiently grave "for - the President to- take some notice of it. The New York Times, Independent, thinks so, and on, Sunday an editorial in that great American newspaper says : "The -charge is much too serf ous to be left -unanswered. There must: be an answer, and we have little doubt that it will satisfac torily exculpate the President. The public has not forgotten the semi-official ' statement made; in Washingtoa someweeks ago $hat the President would not - accept free transportation from the, rail roads, t . That statement was un derstood to relate to past as well as future. time; , It has not been disclaimed-r-indeed, it was under stood to have emanated from the White House. That announcement is "altogether ; incompatible with the charge now made by 'the Rail road Gazette." . . -' ' . - "We regret that the Railroad Gazette has not felt called upon to be somewhat more . ' specific. What President of , thejvUnited States is referred to in its article? Doubtless Mr. Roosevelt is meant, for the article refers to speeches he has made upon, certain topics" which have come to be. considered rjeeuliarlv his own. But the name of Mr. Roosevelt is not mentioned, j What trip of the President - was it for which payment was refused by his major-domo ? ' Wltatf was the great railroad system whose President had to foot the bills? Was it the President's trip to the South and West last Spring, and wajs it Mr. Cassatt of the Pennsyl vania Railroad who was called up by Mr. Loeb on the telephone? v "We should suppose that a def nial would be promptly fortb.com ing. That is the only "satisfactory answer. It is the answer the peo ple will expect, for they have not been accustomed to look upon their President as a deadhead, in anything. . tThey .will be most rei luctant to Tbelieve the eharge. If through any; blundering, 7 any blunted sense of propriety on the part of those who make arrange ments for his frequent trips, the railroads have been asked to car ry him and his parties over thei? lines" for nothing, a check to the order of the railroad president who paid the bills would be a tar dy answer, but reasonably' satisfactory- at least; it would be the only . answer now, possible. Some answer to the" charge will, of course, be 'made. ' - " Perhaps" President Roosevelt is slandered because .his ' ' major-do mo" was some irresponsible in dividual who f made: the arrange ments and didn't acquaint him with the circumstances.- Maybe tie whole thing will be shifted to the shoulders of the "major-do mo," and then" maybe the Rail road Gazette can't make good its very grave eharge.
