ROOSEVELT.

The suggestion that Theodore Roosevelt
be given the Republican nomination for
Governor of New York is being received
with much popular applause in that State
and If he wants the office and comes out of
the war unscathed there seems no good
reason why he should not have it. as he
has had pretty much everything else he de-
sired in his not very long but rather event.
full life. He was born to at least sufficient
wealth to enable him to lead ar idle life,
but he is a man who wants to see the
wheels go round" and to help make them
go. He spent some of his early energy in
operating a Western cattle rancho, and
there learned to appreciate the manly
qualities of the cowboys who make up a
part of his Rough Riders" He took an in
terest in civil service reform, and, realizing
that the men who put the law into opera
ton must be men of nerve and able to re-
sist outside pressure, felt that his fighting
qualities would find scope in the Office of
civil service commissioner. He served in
that position until the work ran,so smooth
ly that ii offered no further attractions,
when he transferred his attention to NUM-
cipal reform, and as one of the police COM
missioners of New York city created
CONSERVATION in the department by
his demands that the laws be en-
forced. Subsequently he was made
assistant secretary of the navy Then
the war came and he gathered his regiment
of fighters from the plains and from the
New York aristocracy and went at once to
the front, where perhaps the fighting has
been sufficiently earnest to suit even his
exacting taste. The office of Governor of
New York, as he will administer 1t. will not
be one of peaceful contemplation and this
fact argues in favor of his acceptance of
the honor. But, whether he takes 1t or not,
he will undoubtedly be found in the midst
of whatever public excitement attracts him
when he returns frc n Cuba. The world is
indeed his oyster.

Close Their Convention by Rising and
Singing america"

WASHINGTON, July 12.-In the presence
Of over 5000 persons. the majority of whom
were delegates, the session of the Ma
tional Educational Association came to a
close tonight. The convention was con-
cluded by the vast assemblage rising in
their seats and singing America" AT it's
conclusion there an outburst of en-
thusiasm such as is seldom seen in this city.
To-nights meeting was held in convention
hall in order that accommodations for all
might be secured. President J. NJ. Green
wood presided and after an invitation by
Rev. Tunis S. Hamlin, a series of ten min
ute speeches were made. The speakers and
their topics We're as follows: Some Fun
6amentas in Teaching l.. D. Harvey. Mil

the Spanish fleet was first seen coming out
of the harbor the Oregon was the farthest
east of any of Commodore Schley's squad
ron. yet when the chase began her superior
speed enabled her to pass all the other
ships except the Brooklyn, getting in effec-
tive shots at each of the Spanish ships as
she passed. 1t is probable the Colon would
have escaped after giving the Brooklyn a
hard fight had not the superior speed of the
Oregon enabled her to get near enough to
assist the Brooklyn in driving the Spaniard
ashore and completing her destruction. The
lesson is that high speed is a very important
factor in war ship-a fact that should be
recognized in the construction of the three
new ships recently authorized BY Congress

ENGLISH FRIENDS AND WAR.

The Society of Friends of Great Britain,
at the Yearly Meeting in May took action
in regard to the Spanish1American war and
issued an address ito all lovers of peace in
the United States, urging them TO use every
effort to save the Nation from the democrat
izing influence of the war spirit. This adj
dress, which was, Of course, intended for
the Quakers of this country, is now being
widely circulated. 1t notes that in the quar-
rel with Spain the United States has been
moved by the claims of the suffering Gu
bans rather than by any greed of conquest,
but adds that lit has ever been, and it re-
mains true to-day, that appeal to the sword
is the abandonment of reason, and that I'M
der its sway the innocent suffer far more
than the guilty" The British Friends offer
all sympathy and aid in this furthering of
peaceful sentiment though admitting frank
ly that as citizens of Great Britain they are
in no position to address this Nation on the
evils of war LAS citizens of Great Britain,
they go on to say, I'VE acknowledge with
humiliation that this nation has snned over
and over again in relying upon might rather
than right for the accomplishment of its
purposes, but as we have urged upon our
government that there are better ways of
settling disputes than the barbarous meth
DDS of trial by battle. so with confidence we
desire your encouragement in the appeals
which you also may make" 1t is undoubt-
eddy true that an ideal state of existence to
many people who are not Quakers, as well
as for those who are. is one of continued
peace and in which war is never resorted
TO. but as unfortunately happens, force is
an element which in the present state of
human development cannot be dispensed
with, even by the most enlightened and civ
nized of nations. Those who preach peace
at all costs have the right to their convic-
tons and are right in cultivating and en-
couraging the spirit of peace by all legiti-
mate means. but the millennium is yet far
off, and they must be content with the very
gradual acceptance of their favorite idea II
may be doubted, indeed, if the Friends of
this country are in entire accord with the
arguments for peace in this instance They
have not spoken officially, because their
Yearly Meetings have not yet been held
but individual protests against the war have
not been heard. There was, it is true. the
injudicious and meddlesome action of few
people calling themselves the Universal
Peace Society,"" and being Philadelphia
| organization IL perhaps contained Quakers
in its membership. but 1t certainly did not
speak for them all. The claims of country
! and humanity must weigh heavily during
