The republican orgaDs are full of
sly hints and intimations ofthe fact
that Hanna has had some mighty
solemn talks with Teddy, admonish-
ing him to begood.
Teddy no doubt continues to
believe that the democrats are
towards and that though democrat
ic sentiment forced the syndicsted
administration to declare war for
the purpose of giving the Cubaus a
government of their own, they left
it to the great Teddy and bevy of
newspaper correspondents to force
the Spaniards to evacuate the island.
We doubt whether Hanna talked
as loud as be could, for even u great
party boss must measure his words
when he talks to the famous Cuban
liberator, the Oliver P. Cromwell
of the present age; nevertheless it
seems certain that Hanna convinced
his man good and hard that it isn't
good politics to get up io public and
rave like an idiot. Roosevelt is
not dying with surplus of intellect,
but he knows enough to see for
himself that he was about to run
his head into a cold wave of Ameri.
can humoT and it is thss fact, rath'
er than Hanna's lecture, that will
cause him to keep his shirt on when
he next begins to appeal to the
voters.
A man in this couatry cannot be
a hero and an amusing cuss at the
same time, therefore we look for q
reaction from Teddyism.-Atlanta
