The Right Kind of President.

The voice of the people is said by a
familiar adage to be the voice of God.
but no observer of political movements
can reconcile this theory with rever-
ent view of the Creator. The people
are often fooled. They seem at times
to take kind of mild delight in being
humbugged. The pendulum of their
folly is seldom at rest; most of the
time It is marking Off vagaries and de-
noting the rise and fall of fads.
If this characterization seems severe.
just take look through political his
tory. Find how many times the people
have chosen the qualified man for the
responsible place and how many times
the fascinating fgurehead whose al
Turing presence is made ironical by his
mediocre brain. Comparisons are
odious; yet it is sometimes necessary to
make them; and to those who are fond
of history we commend u study of the
political conventions of the United
States from the earliest time down to
the present, with especial attention to
the proportion of really great nominees
to the merely average and less than
average but eminently respectable non
entities. Let this lesson OF the past
apply to the immediate future. Let
the Republican party decide to choose
not its weakest sister, but its strong
est and ablest man.
The people do not need a. one-idea
president. Theirs is n government the
executive end of which is too compli-
Gated. too exacting, too diversified for
that. The man who knows only one
subject may make Il good professor at
Il university, a good lecturer or Il good
cabinet officer, but he would be beyond
his depth and out of his element as
president. We need, for president, a
man of wide and ripe experience; a
master of affairs and of men; "a dplo-
matist. statesman and q politician
combined. Can such man be found d.
We believe so. and we hope that the
people will take no other.

Cubans because they recall that in the
declaration of their own independence
their fathers set forth as inalienable

ruthlessly denied to the people of Cuba
The American who does not sympa-

rule is false to the principles upon
which his own government was found

Fighting lack Robinson.

Jack" Robinson as n candidate :or
United States senator is, in all can
dor, not the highest conceivable eX-
ponent of the possibilities of Pcunsyl-
vania politics; but Jack" Robinson, in
his way. is nevertheless n good bit ii
senatorial candidacy is no reason why
We should fail to recognize ana to ap-
plaud his frankness and his manlness
rs u political fighter, These qualities
are not new to the public but they are
conspicuously re-dcmonstrated in the
manner In which he accepts the verdict
of the Blair county primaries.
Interviewed Tuesday ut Washington
Mr.. Robinson said: "Of course, | did
not expect to be defeated by as large a
majority as l was, and ] Halter my
self that had ] been on the ground per-
sonally ] would have received a much
larger vote. trusted too much to
Others. and besides had my own dis
trict convention to attend to. But Mr..
against. He Is deservedly popular
among Republicans, as he has been a
faithful party man and has done eX-
cellent service for the party. He has
many friends and in certain localities
is very strong. admire him very
much for his pluck in entering the pop
ular contest. l hope that other candi-
dates for the. senatorship who have
been in hiding and have declined to
submit their names for Il popular vote
at the primaries will initiate the cx-
ample of Mr.. Wanamaker and come out
and fight in the open. / am willing to
abide by the decision of the Republic
cans as expressed at the primaries.
This is the talk of an outspoken and
candid man: a man who does not fear
to speak his thought or to go fairly be-
fore the people when he wants anything
from them. 1t is the talk of a man who
can always be found when wanted; who
does not sit on the fence or wait until
he can pick out the winning side before
declaring himself. We don't think
Jack" Robinson is the man for SEN
ator; we don't think he stands the
ghost of a show of being elected to that
position. but we do think him the kind
of u fighter in politics whom people
can respect, regardless of whether he
be friend or foe.

A Proper Sound Money Plank.

If the Republican national convention
at st. Louis wishes to adopt common
sense money plank it should incorporate
into its platform something like this:
1.-The Republican party always has
stood, stands today, and always VIII
stand for sound money: but it sees no
reason why it should be expected to dig
its knife into the vitals of the men who
believe in it's declaration, at Mime
apolis, in 1892. in favor of honest BIZ
metallism; and 1t expressly repudiates
the idea that it is for the interest of the
American people, who are the largest
producers of silver In the world. to try
to depress the commercial value of sill
yer bullion by a political warfare on
all who hope once again to see silver
elevated. by international agreement,
to parity with gold"
A plank like this might not please the
extremists, who seem just now to be
doing most of the shouting on this sub
ject. but it would express what we be-
lieve to be the sentiment of three
fourths of the great middle classes,
which carry i'm their keeping the fate
OF our political parties. Among this
medal mass there is absolutely no SYM
pathy for either gold or silver mono
metallism. either Of which would mean
the doubling of the wealth of the rich
and the multiplication by two of the
debts of the poor. The people are sat
isfied with the American money of the
they get dollar now it means 100 cents,
the world over: and they don't care to
make that dollar one cent cheaper or
one cent dearer.
Should a time come, however. when
the older nations of Europe should feel
that they have not a sufficient quantity
of gold to serve as the basis of their
money issues and should want us to join
with them in IA rehabilitation of silver.
this class of American citizens would
not expect the government at Washing
ton to turn a deaf ear to the invitation,
but would favor speedy and a sincere
acceptance. to the end that our natural
stock of silver ore might he worth as
much In proportion to gold as it used
to be worth before the creditor nations
cOnspired to demonetiZe silver and thus
make it twice as difficult for those who
owed them debts to liquidate that in
debtedness. In other words. the great
mass of the plain people of the United
States are bimetallists in theory. and
are firmly opposed to the artificial fluc-
tuation of either metal by political agi-
tation for the purposes of speculation.
