Cabinet or the President who mas kept
awake and maintained place in the
minds Of the American people and OF
foreign nations has done so purely upon
his own lines. The Pan-American con-
ference, farcical as it was In some re-
spects, was at least talked about. and
the reciprocity issue, which the Secre-
tary of State forced upon an unwilling
administration, is the only rational
suggestion that has come from any
member of the party in power since
that power was gained.
1t is not strange that Harrison is so
obscure, for he has been a pitiablc nom
entity during every hour since he was
inaugIrated. He has not only done no
good but, as an individual and as Presi-
dent. he has not had character enough
to do any harm. He has delegated all
his malign powers to the QuayS the
Reeds and the McKinleys of his follow
ing.
If he is even now so nearly forgotten,
what will the historian say of him! 1t
must be that he will be placed in the
most undignified position of any man
who has held the exalted office OF Presi-
dent in our time and he is certainly en-
titled to no better classification. 1t
seems a shame to say even so much in
criticism of him, for fsthe deal, even
the political dead, we should not speak
unless we can conscien tiously praise.

Republican cheer of the campaign OF
