aft to Be President"

DNATOlS HANNA says: "1t
must always be remembered
~ that there is but one life be.
tween the vice president and
the chief magistrate of the nation, and
for that reason the strongest man
available in every sense of the word
should be given the nomination.
What we want" lie adds, sis a man
big enough to be president in the
event Of the death OF the chief mags-
| trate;" a contingency which it is to be
hoped is far removed, but which has
to be taken into account.
This has been from the beginning
the rule by which The Tribune has
considered the vice presidential ques-
tion. Some men have been named who
are fit to be president, and whose fit
ness does not have to be taken on
hearsav evidence. Others have been
named who would under no circum-
stances be regarded by public opinion
as Of presidential caliber.
The men of presidential size who are
in a position to accept are few. Sec
| retary Long is one. He would make
| an admirable president. But his can.
| didacy has evoked no enthusiasm in
the great belt of growing country
drained by the Mississippi and
| Missouri rivers, the seat of Bryan's
strength and the coming center of
| political empire. Able and accom-
plished as he is, his support is con-
fined wholly to New England, and u
merely sectional candidacy would not
do.
There are men fit to be president who
do not want to be vice president and
| who are so situated that they could
| not without great inconvenience ac-
| cept the latter office. One Of
these is Senator Allison. No bet
ter man has been named. But he
is the leader of the senate and could
not be spared. Senator Hanna frankly
says as much and adds that Mr.. ALI
son positively declines. Another is
| Senator Fairbanks. He, too, is tit to
be president and some day may be.
| But today he is not a candidate for
vice president and, it is understood
welt is we'll understood. Oxen could
not drag him into the vice presidency
| under the conditions which surround
him at Albany.
There are other names before the
| public, strong, weak and middling:
| but not one of them would be consid-
cred If a president were being chosen.
and no man unfit or deemed by the
| general opinion of his countrymen TO
be untitled for the presidency should
be named for vice president Where
then, does this rule leave us? 1t mar
rows the vice presidential canvass
| down to three men, Long from the
far east, a sectional candidate; Dolli-
yer from the middle west, a sectional
candidate: and Charles Emory Smith
representing no section and put for
ward by no clique or organization. but
the favorite among thinking men I'm
every part of our country and a man
| pre-emnently available in every
sense of the word"
Taking Senator Hanna's proper view
| and applying it to the field as IL
stands, what other choice can the
| national convention make?
If he expects to figure extensively in
the settlement of trouble with the
Boxers" it is about time for Lii Hung
| Chang to take turn at the punching
| bag

Why Money Was Needed,

Young WILLIE JEFFERSON, son of the "a.
nous "Joe," is a typical jefferson, in
habits, manners, looks and wit relates the Ar
gonaut. Some weeks ago Willie was given a
nice fat sum out Of the savings Of his distin-
guished father, and allowed to go to Europe
for the summer. Willie went. One day Joseph
jefferson received cablegram from Willie, then
in Paris:
''Send $500.-Willie."
The elder jefferson answered.:
''What forT'
The reply seemed to arrive almost before Mr..
Jefferson's message sent. 1t read:
''For Wilie.'
Willie received the money.

THE CRAWFORD SYSTEM.

The Crawford county system had fair trial
on Monday and the results must be dishearten-

found wanting. Instead Of curing the ills OF
party politics IL only aggravates them. In spite
of unusual watchfulness there were evils present
far worse than delegate conventions ever at.

there ia such mixed population as in this The
primary election scheme is total failure. In a
rural county with a homogeneous population no
doubt the Crawford county system has great ad.
vantages; but we hope we have seen the last OF
it in Lackawanna county.

The Republican party on the defen-
slve? True, in the Philippines, where
1t Is defending the uplifted flag that
Bryan and the anti-lmperialists want
TO haul down in disgust. True, also
in cuba, where. although there were
n few scoundrels, the great majority
of Uncle Sans representatives are
conscientious and honest, and by no
means deserving of the wholesale
abuse which the Democratic mischief
making press is spewing out upon
them, the good among the bad all
jumbled together in one indiscriminate
mass that the democracy is trying to
asperse and discredit for shallow po-
litical effect. True, likewise, in Porto
Rico, which the Democrats wanted to
start or as an American dependency
without an income, so that in its
financial breakdown an argument
could be manufactured to apply
against the whole programme of ex-
pansion.
On the defensive? Yes, indeed.
Wherever there is an American inter-
est that needs defending, there you
will find the Republican party, willing
and ready to defend it; and skulking
somewhere behind it, there you will
also find the Popocratic Democracy,
keeping its wild eye open for q chance
to stick a poinard in that interest If
1t thinks that by so doing 1t can turn
