Ic shows that % the Democratic President keeps in r touch with the whole country and a thct nothing cau happen that will I affect his sympathetic proposition like, Jt the flood in Ohio and Indiana. t Whether the loss in Dayton, Ohio, t is 5,000 or more, it shows that the Pees- t ident of the United Sta es ha3 passed \ on the situation and whetherone man is dead or not his sympathy is aroused \ and his heart beats in unison with the c people ef the United States. In other r words, the people of this country have I a Democratic President and he is i democratic in every sympathy and f in every resource. He is President of ? the United States and intends to make e himself felt as such by the people of this nation. If he can do any good by going to to those States he will be seen there. . If he cannot by word of messagerfrom ( his trusted lieutenant he will not go. t It probably will not be necessary for 1 him to~ go, but whether he goes or j not his intention to go is one of the , things we will consider long after the < whole affair i9 over and the dead i buried. J The President has many things on his mind, especially the appointment of ambassadors "and the like, but suffering appeals to him over and above the appointment of people to positions and will continue to appeal to him daring his whole administration. He is a minority President so far as the Totes go, but the people will look at Roosevelt and Taft and Wilson, and figure on which one has shown the most manhood in a crisi9 in this country and the verdict will go to Wilson. He stood today absolutely impelled by the situation and ready to go and risk his own life in a friendly attitude toward the people of Ohio and Indiana. There are nearly 250,000 people out of homes and without a dollar and he is ready to go to them and tell them that they must go to work; that he was behind every dollar that they were receiving and that he was President of the United States and would see that Congress passed a law enacting that every dollar spent for them and for their sustenance would be covered back in the treasury and that the people who can afford to pay must pay the difference between them and the dollars that are spent for them.

CoiumbUb'OLiu, April 4.?A downpour of rain yesterday and last night caused another flood stage in the Scioto river, breaking the levee or the west side of Columbus. The waters were again released over a portion of the territory flooded last week. DAYTON STREETS FLOODED. Dayton, Ohio, April 4.?Another flood in . Ohio territory stricken last week is threatened as a result of the heavy rains. A ten-hour downpour, together with clogged sewers, flooded many streets of Dayton one foot. Messages from Piqua, Bejlefontaine, Troy and other towns north showed incessant rains. Forcaster Alps declares a recurrence, of the flood possible. LEVEE BREAKS. [ Evansvilie, Ind., April 4 ?The Howell levee, protecting Ingle9ide, broke this morning, flooding the town six to ten feet. Two hundred families were driven out. SPENT NIGHT IN OPEN. Hickman Ky., April 4.?Continuous rain throughout thenight, with a hard upstream wind, combined to render the flood situation desperate. Officials have declared that the levees are not expected to hold throughout the day and the people were forced to leave the lower sections. There are now 2,500 refugees on the hills above Hickman.

Cairo, 111., April 4.?After remaining stationary for twelve hours the Ohio river began rising again thi9 morning. But the prospects of holding the peeves and protecting Oairo are considered good.

C., April 2.?Car and depot thieves will find their ocer ations in the future more difficult than in the past and will have to face prosecution in the Federal couit9 as well as before the State tribunals as the result of a bill introduced by Representative C. C, Carlin, of Alexandria, Ya., passed by both Houses of Congress, and approved by the President. This act imposes a maximum fine of $5,000, or imprisonment for not more than ten years for any person convicted of unlawfully breaking" into any railway car containing interstate or foreign shipment of freights or express, or of stealing or obtaining by fraud or deception from any car, depot or platform, vessel or wharf, any freight, express or baggage which constitutes or is a part of any interstate or foreign shipment. While the Carlin Act in no way infringes on the jurisdiction of the State courts, it puts the whole power of the Federal Department of Justice behind the detection and prosecution of persons guilty of stealing from oars or depots, since it will be practically impossible for thieves to distinguish intrastate and interstate shipments. It is confidently expected that this law will have a powerful effect in breaking up theft of this character which not only involves a serious loss to the railways and cause great inconvenience to shippers and travelers, but are a Constance menace to railway employees and the traveling public since it is notorious that car thieves do not hesitate to interfere with trains or resort to other expedient*, to serve their own purposes, regardless of the consequences.
