The Conservatism of Roosevelt.

It is gratifying 10 observe that Vice
President Roosevelt is becoming con-
sentative. at least in speech. In his
address at St. Paul he declared that
IL is both foolish and undignifed to
indulge IN undue -glorification. and
above all in loose tongued denunciation
Of other people. In brief. that we
should be me derate Of speech. and al
ways say just what we mean.
This is eminently right, and it af-
fords The Times pleasure to bear wit
ness that Mr. Roosevelt has learned
something since the close Of the Span
ish war. One Of the first things he did
after the end Of that conflict was to
write a book, and such was the tone
Of self-consciOusness pervading It, that
it made him a subject Of ridicule all
over the country; not merely with
his political opponents. but with the
more thoughtful members Of his own
party. For a year or two he paraded
up and down the country clad in a
Rough Riders uniform, which was in
tended TO be a standing advertisement
Of his great deeds in war. He even
wore the Rough Riders hat when ne
attended the Philadelphia convention.
But Mr.. Roosevelt capped the climax
Of his strenuOusness. when. as the Vice
Presidential candidate Of his party. he
opened the campaign last year in the
same city Of St Paul where he now
SO earnestly cOHnsels mOdera ton in
the use Of language. In that opening
speech he declared that the Demo-
cratic party stood for dishOnor at home
and cowardice abroad. Democrats
were dishonest because they adyO-
Gated the free coinage of silver, and
towards because they ventured to diff
fer from the Administration in re-
sard 20 its foreign policy. Mr.. Roose-
Welt was not willing 10 admit that
his political opponents might be hon
rstly in error. He Jumped them all to
gether and stigmatized them as dis
| honest and eowardly. And he did this

MR.. eoMPERs ON STRIKES.
Less Likely to Occur When the In

BUFFALO. Sept. samuel Com
pers. of the American Federation Of La
Dor. was the principal speaker at the
Temple Of Music yesterday. following the
big Labor Day parade. Mr. Gompers said
in part:

I'VE have learned with bitter experience
that the better prepared 20 strike we are
the less occasion we have TO strike. Or
ganization means the prevention OF
strikes. or rather the diminution Of the
number Of strikes. and. what is of more
consequence. a diminution Of the bitter

by strikes

Circulation Statement.
A strike Collision Feared.

Our morning news from McKeesport
indicates a situation at that place. the
result Of which may be disorder and
riot Physical force was used for the
first time by the local strikers yester-
day when they prevented between three
hundred and four hundred worl1men
from entering the tube works. Mayor
Black, true to his previous policy did
not furnish police protection 10 the
men employed in the plant, and the
strikers were allowed 70 have their own
way.
SnEularly enough, today the strik-
ers appear t. be suspicious of Black,
and quite generally believe that he is
about 10 change front and use his po-
lice TO protect non-union workers II
is said that lately he has been avoid
ing conferences with the McKeesport
strike leaders, and this fact taken in
conjunction with the arrival Of con-
siGnments OF police clubs and revolvers
from Pittsburg leads them to suspect
that he has been frightened by threats
of Impeachment, and may change his
course. The announcement is made
that if he fails to preserve order and
protect lives and property. Governor
Stone instantly viii send troops to the
town to relieve him of any further ne
cessity for doing so.

strike centres are calculated To create
