q young man, he has already been
politically dead many times, according
to- superficial opinion, and every time
has resuscltated himself by virtue of
his superabundant energy and high
purpose. He would not care for the

IL he were vice-presdent his life would
not be quiet. on the platform and
through the press his active mind
would find liberal exercise: and we
doubt not that he would restore the
olden precedent which made the vice.

presidency. There is no need to worry
as to Roosevelt's future. What we
don't like about the movement to put

American Isolation Ended.
.HE CHINESE crisis and the

Il is forced to take in it in pro-
IL N

THE CHINESE crisis and the
part which our government
u is forced to take in it in pro-
lection of imperilled Ameri-
can interests serve as a timely re-
minder that the days of American iso-
lation are gone forever. Without seek
ing it, without wishing it, the United
States has become a world power,
with inescapable obligations toward
the preservation of International rights
and in consequence with unavoidable
need of large navy and of an army
in proportion to its wIdened circle of
responsibilities.
The destiny which put us in control
of the Philippines is now plainly call
ing us to an active part in the solution
of the great problem presented in
China's transition from ancient to
modern conditions. There may be those
who would be glad TO be relieved OF
this responsibility. 1t certainly has not
been sought. But it is here, upon us.
no international fact is palmer, and
the question is, What are we going 70
do about it?
With China we have certain treaty
stipulations, among them the right to
trade with the people of China upon
equal terms with the most favored ma
ton. The nations of Europe which
have acquired territorial or political
footholds in China have been asked to
give assurances in writing that in all
the portions of the Chinese empire
which are now or in future may come
within their jurisdiction or control
these treaty rights shall be respected; /;
that in those spheres of European in
fiuence the American trader shall
stand upon a level before the law with
the most favored trader of any nationi
and they have done so. On paper our
rights are secure. But is that enough?

HE DEFINITE refusal Of
Charles Emory Smith to
Il permit the presentation of
his name at Philadelphia as
a candidate for the vice presidency
brings TO an end a movement in pro-
noting which The Tribune, although
unsuccessful, has nothing to regret.
The spirit in which Sncmination was
advocated by this paper was one that
looked in two directions:
First, toward the selection of run
ming mate for President Mckinley rep
resenting the best impulses and tra-
ditions of the Republican party; and
thoroughly qualified to attract votes
on election day, to perform with dis
tinguished ability the duties of the po-
sition when elected and to measure up
to the exacting requirements of the
presidential office should he be called
to fill it. Pre-eminently would Mr..
Smith have met and mastered every
one of these conditions.
Secondly, toward the composition of
factional strife within our common
wealth and the bringing to the front
of a personality around which the self
respecting Republicanism of Pennsyl-
vania could rally without fear and
without regret Mr.. Smith is a modest
man; sometimes We suspect too mod
est. His brilliant accomplishments
and splendid intellect fit him to lead
when frequently less deserving men
i,,
ahead and grasp honors more appro.
priately his. 1t would be a fortunate
turn in the muddled party affairs of
this imperial commonwealth could a
man like Charles Emory Smith, states
man, scholar and gentleman, be called
to a commanding place in the party
councils and by his clean methods give
inspiration to the better aspirations of
the Republican masses. For the pres
ent, but this is not to be; but we shall
hope on.
a time is bound to come, maybe 1t
is nearer than we think, when there
will be an uprising of the reputable
manhood of our party in behalf of
leadership such as men OF his clean
type could give; a leadership neither
sordid, selfish nor vindictive, but in
spired by the desire to give full play
to the higher impulses of honest Re-
publicanism and to lift up the party
banner to a level in keeping with
Pennsylvania greatness in the sister,
hood of states. In the endeavor to
forward this desirable contingency we
may temporarily have failed, but the
cause was worthy of the effort and
we have nothing to apologize for and
nothing to take back.

party to accept it's nomina-
a tion for one of the two high
est offices in it's gift is
something which no man has ever re-
fused to obey or ever will. Theodore
Roosevelt cannot decline if the su-
preme convention of his party with
substantial unanimity presses him to
accept. A declination under such cir
cumstsnCes would destroy his pros
poets and put period to his public
usefulness. 1t would illustrate firm
ness degenerated into obstinacy and
self-will bordering on intolerable self
conceit Colonel Roosevelt is aware
OF his own Importance but he is not
an egotist. In the larger view his
motives and his aims are unselhsh. He
will do what he considers to be his
duty.
And that is what in this emergency?
Simply TO adhere, as he is doing, to
his original assertion that he does not
want the presidency, that he
wishes to be permitted 90 complete the
work begun by him at Albany, that
he believes his largest usefulness to
party and public is in the executive
chair of the Empire state. 1t is his
right to ask the national convention
