President Roosevelt will make
trip through the west, but will not,
with reference to party issues, talk
politics. 1t will be impossible for him,
however, to avoid discussing the duties
and possibilities of the govern
ment. There has been some DISPOSE
ton on the part Of the opposition to
criticise him for his trip, but the New
York Times undoubtedly expresses
general judgment when it says:
1T is well for the people to SEQ their

enormous and widely scattered. Despite
the free ntercOmmunication and the vast

Understandings due mainly 20 ignorance
II IS a good thing that the president

Public officials cannot do much to
Intentionally promote their own polit-
ical fortunes. The more they try the
less they seem 10 succeed. IL Is per
fectly safe TO allow them all the lati-
tude they desire The only way they
can ingratiate themselves with the
public is by making such a plain
and honest statement Of their pur-
poses as will convince the deliberate
judgment Of the country that they are

plan for stumping tour on :hs part Of

stump who can speak with authority.
In England cabinet members sit in
parliament and participate in the de-
bates. But here the most important
recommendations OF the admin1stra-
ton are put before congress and be-
fore the country without any suffi-
cient explanation on the part of the
men whose acquaintance with the
matters involved and official station
combine to make what they might saw

ing says the indianapolis Journal
Mr.. Bryan in his speech at Nantas-
ket diagnosed the case somewhat diff
ferently, with practically the same
result. He pointed out that the two
great political parties Of the coun-
try represented two opposing ideas -
aristocracy and democracy-thc for
mer being represented by the repub-
lican party and the latter by democ-
racy with big ID. He also identified
the aristocracy with the plutocracy,
between which and democracy with
big ID there could be no affiliation.
With profound sagacity he said:
There can be only one aristocratic
party in the country. There will be
room enough for all the aristocrats
in that when the people know what
the party stands for" As Mr. Bryan
has read Grover Cleveland and all
his friends out Of the democra cy.
with n big ID, it, follows that their
only place is with the plutocracy and
nristOcracy represented by the repub-
lican party. Yet Mr.. Bryan makes
one kind concession. He says in eff
feet that republicans are aristocrats
without knowing il. To quote his
words:
"A great majority Of the republicans
Of to-day are democrats at heart They
