hoping to repress the enthusiasm of the
corn belt for the president, his mission
has ended in conspicuous failure. It
seems as If the Kansans had said:
"Whoop! For Teddy, Hold your breath
and see us come"
The incident illustrates the fact that
the presidents most enthusiastic fol-
lowing, as two years ago. is still to be
found in the Mississippi Valley; and
the further fact that this enthusiasm
centers about Mr. Roosevelt's breezy
and unconventional personality, rather
than his possession Of a great office,
should not be ignored. The near view

The "cabal." as a matter of fact, is

RETHRESHlNG OLD STRAW.
,From the New York Evening Post,

tFrom the New York Evening Post.)
This was the theme upon which
Senator Hoar held his hearers SPELL
bound for three hours yesterday. And
yet we are told by the leading Repub-
iican organ in this city that 1t was
chiefly Refreshing Of old straw"
Was 1t so, indeed? II the principles Of
the Declaration Of independence could
be called old straw. then might AIr.
Hoar's speech be considered waste
Of words. If the battle OF Thermopy-
lac is an idle tale. If the battle OF Lex,
ington is inconsequentsl, if every
struggle for human rights since his
tory began to be written and deeds Of
valor and self-sacrifice for country and
freedom to be sung has been vain.
then is the speech of the Massac chu-
sets Senator to be classed as rubbish.
from which no more nutriment for
human souls can be extracted.
1t was time that somebody who has
the ear OF the nation should sound
again the note Of liberty, and tell a
forgetful people what 1t signifies in
comparison with power and pelf

make man fit for the presidential
office, and. besides that, he was one of
the kindest most considerate and most

do business with him. We don't like
Mr.. Roosevelt so well. We don't know
where we're at when we are doing
business with him. reckon other per-
sons who are in pubic life have had
about the same sort of experience.
Something may happen, as I
suggested, the effect of which
will be to give Mr.. Roosevelt
unexpected stength; if fortune does not
favor him in that way, don't believe
he will be nominated. If Hanna is his
chief opponent the prize will 60 to the

chances are that he would calculate,

and in communion with himself, he is
given to ejacula tons.
Viewing the situation with entire in
dependence and candor, it may be said
that, while Mr.. Roosevelt ioyously feels
himself born to rule at an early age
and lacks personal tact and political
discretion, and also those delightful per,
sonal manners and winning ways which
great Senators so much enjoy in their
personal intercourse with a chief exec
utive, he presents very different
problem, as a presidential candidate
from John Tyler, Millard Fillmore

fuence over young men, and a positive
strength in certain parts of the North

have never said that. We have never
soid what we said to Cuba. Why
notl Because some people thought
that money could be made out OF
them. Others thought that 1t would
be q fine thing to have ships and
cannon there to match other nations
in China. or to dominate the Pacific"

ing the liberty Of free people who
never harmed us. 1t was time, we re-
peat, for somebody having the ear Of
the nation to ring this truth from the
public belfry. Senator Hoar has
earned the thanks of his own and Of
all future generations by performing
this task in the way he did it.
What will come of it? we shall be
asked. No man can say what shall
be the final utcome-whether the Fill.
ipinos will be subjugated in blood, or
the Americans be mired and strangled
in their own riches. OF one thing.
however, we feel assured. AS long
as the spectacle of oppression, tyran-
ny and cruelty exists in the Philip
pines. or elsewhere In the world.
there will be men and women in the
United States to rethresh the old straw
of human rights. There will always
be men to kindle the torch of liberty,
and to do battle for the principles that
Washington and Lincoln upheld 1t
Is not for us to say who shall win in
any coming election. God Almighty
will decide that question, but hope
will always remain while men remain
like Senator Hoar to tell the truth
alike to willing and unwilling ears.
We have not sought to follow Mr..
Hoars argument, but rather to enter
into the spirit of bis discourse. The
ability is not given to many to gather
up the threads Of a great and pro-
longed controversy, and present the
whole Of 1t in a compass brief enough
to be grasped and held by ordinary
minds. 1t is given to fewer still to
seize hold upon the consciences and
hearts Of the multitude, and teach
them to prize moral greatness above
pelf and power. Senator Hoar has
shown himself master in both these
great faculties. His speech will live
as long as the controversy subsists
out of which it grew, and 1t can never
become stale while the love of liberty
reigns in American bosoms.
