The Illusion that eastern republicans
we're opposed to the nomination of
President Roosevelt, has been dispelled
by the action OF the Pennsylvania
state convection. No endorsement OF the
President from any body of republic
cans has been more. emphatic or more
upqlestionable in its character than
that accorded him by the republicans
lot the Keystone state.
The administration of President
Roosevelt has been such as has in
spired confidence in the MASSES OF
8 the pepole. With him at the head Of
the government the citizens OF the
United states recognize that there in
terest will be conserved and the honor
and dignity Of the nation will be main
tained
aooseyelt is the one man before the
republicans OF the nation, who is a
candidate for the nomination, IT is
practically assured that the action OF
the PENNSYLVANIA republicans viii be
followed by those of other states and
that at the national conventions in
800, viii make him their unanimous
choice as the party standard bearer.

The natural desire of the American
is TO be prosperous. To have the
means TO meet his needs in life is his
first aim With this accomplished he at
once enlarges his sphere of living and
increases his necessities. 1t is to this
characteristic that the American peo-
pie owe the evolution of the present
high standard OF living Satisfied
only with the best it is perfectly nat
ural for the American to make the
most OF his opportunities. Much has
been said about the present prosper
Gus conditions that exist in the United
States, but too much cannot be said
in favor of its preservation.
In the opinion of the great finaneier,
James J Hill, the time is ripe for the
Americans to begin to consider ways
and means Of insuring continuation
of the present prosperous conditions.
Mr.. Hill contends that the tide of
money making conditions is nearing
its height, In making this statement
Mr.. Hill does not believe that there
will necessarily follow a decadence of
prosperity, but he believes that it is
the duty of the people of the country
TO take all possible precautions to@pre-
vent such a decadence
In speaking of the present business
conditions Mr. Hill rightly refers TO
the farming class as the pockets OF
the backbone OF the nation and sug,

en- them 1t is to accomplish this that
Mr.. Hill urges the expansion OF our
trade in foreign markets. IF the
iron and steel market, which has
shown remarkable expansion, is now
at a point where we think ii can bear
a diminution Of our energy and main.

line, let us turn our attention to the
opening Of markets for our agricul
tural products. declares Mr.. Hill

the republican majority, or imperil any
of the congressional or legislative dis
tricts. The tariff and trust planks
have enjoyed wide range Of earnest
discussion, controversy, which at
times mutually exasperating has also
been. enlightening and has awakened a
deeper interest in economic questions.

conventions The reyislonists have

out Of the state, a meaning incompati-
Bile with the national platform and
with the fundamental principles of
protection. Upon the other hand, many
earnest republicans hold that their at
titude is wholly consistent in demand
ing revision and enlarged reciprocity.
They claim to be earnest protectionists
as the so-called "stand-patters." Prob
ably many of them are: but unfortu-
nately, some of their leaders, and the
press that claims to speak for them
put a construction upon the state
planks which the democrats heartily
applaud as good democratic doctrine
and which they declare they are ready
to adopt; in fact, have already made
similar afTirmations in former years.
The issues involved have had ten
months of earnest discussion. The ar

not kill the party. Some things could

yention declarations, and by so able
calm and dispassionate man as VIII
liam B /. Allison, will be one upon which
all republicans can unite.

- PRESIDENTS spEgcHEs.


The Springfield Republican has been
keeping tab on President Roosevelt's
speeches and finds that during the
first twenty months as President he
has spoken 1911 times. The count be-
gins with an address on the Bible, de-
livered December 26, 1901, and ends
with his speech at San Francisco the
other day. This is an average of near
ly ten speeches a month.
Most Of these speeches have been
made during his tours, through the
east last year and through the west
at the present time. In New England
last summer he delivered So addresses,
and on some days as many as eleven
speeches between getting up and going
to bed During his present western
tour he made twelve speechs in on
day, eleven in another, ten in still an.
other But the Republican finds that
between tours he has been a prolific
speech maker. Ii says he made fifteen
speeches, many of them elaborate,
down to and including July 4, 1902, just
prior to his first tour in the east. That
was at the rate of a speech and half
for ten months. And he spoke fifteen
times, after the trolly accident at Pitts
field, before he prematurely wound up
the fall season at Indianapolis. On
November 10, 1902, we again find him
at Memphis, Tenn, speaking at length
on the Philippines. On January 27,
1903, he was at Canton, o., delivering
a memorial address. One month later,
February " or %, he was in New York
making a speech at the John Wesley
bicentennial exercises. The present
western tour began thirty-one days aft
er the Wesley speech; and since he
left Washington the President, down to
the present week, had spoken 1903
times on the trip which is by no means
ended.
This is certainly remarkable rec
ord But the number OF the Presi--
dents speeches is not so remarkable
as their quality Although he has talk
ed on every subject that is of pressing
Importance to the American people,
and has not hesitated to speak frank
ly and with decision, he has not in a
single instance given utterance to a
sentiment that has not rung true and
redounded to his credit as a man and
as President of the United States.
The President, as the Republican esti-
mates, may round out 400 speeches
during his presidential term II he
does, there will be 400 occasions where
good solid American sense has been
presented in a plain way to good,
solid and appreciatiye American audi
ences. Let President Roosevelt talk.
He knows more about the people every
time he does, and the people know
more about him. and the more they
know about each other, the better they
like and the more highly they esteem
each other. President Roosevelt and
the people are making pretty formid,
able combination.

SEVEN DAY JOURNALISM


Cedar Repids Republican: The gen
eral assembly OF the Presbyterian
church passed some resolutions against
seven day journalism, but none against
Sunday journalism. We take it that
they intended a fine distinction in that
wording. Seven day journalism means
work seven days in the week.
Six day journalism means one day of
rest. The objections that seemed to be
urged against Sunday papers were all
OF them, or nearly all of them based
on ignorance of how newspaper work
is done. The work on Sunday papers
is practically all done before midnight
Sunday. All of it is done long before
daylight Sunday morning. The people
who work ON Sunday papers therefore
have Sunday for rest The Monday
morning paper, on the other hand, en-.
tails Sunday work, for 1t is not the
day of publication, but the day before
that most of the work on such papers
is done. We take it that the Presby.
terians had these facts in mind when
they substituted the phrase seven day
journalism for Sunday journalism in
their resolutions.
or course, We are aware that IT Is
urged by some that Sunday papers are
harmful because they are read on SIN.
day. There ought to be no such secular
occupations as reading newspapers an
Sunday, so runs this argument! But
there Is not much in this contention.

we are facing a very dangerous la
Dor situation. Much OF the existing
trouble, believe, is due to unwise
leadership and hot-headed action in the
labor unions. Leaders sometimes make
demands which the men are really not
interested in. II seems at times as if
union leaders do this and bring on
strikes just to show their power
Sooner or later they'll hang them
selves with their own rope.
q cannot speak of specific instances
of the breaking of agreements between
unions and employers, but, according
to what we read every day in the mat
ter-offact newspaper accounts of Ia
Dor disputes, they seem 10 have been
ready to act on the slightest excuse for
a strike.
This labor situation is really the
only thing see that menaces our pros.
