JOHN WARWICK DANIEL.

The Roanoke Times insists that the
majority of the people Of Virginia do not
desire Major Daniels reelection to the
Senate If SO. the people have strange
way Of showing It In spite Of the criti-
cisms Of our contemporary and one or
two other newspapers. no candidate was
found to oppose him in the primary. and
as the time for candidates to announce
themselves has expired, Chairman. Ely
son, of the State Democratic Committee,
has notified Senator Daniel that he is
the party nominee. In all human proba-
bility Senator Daniel will be elected to
succeed himself, and, contrary to the
whose opinions are always entitled to
respect, we believe that he is by long
odds the choice Of the people.
John w. Daniel has been a true and
loyal friend to his State. In war and In
peace, in times of political turmoil as
made us an honorable and useful mem
Der of the Senate. He has not sought to
exploit himself, and has not taken the
pains to advertise all his achievements,
but he has labored diligently and sue
cessfully for Vlrginla's interests in the
Federal Congress. and he can always
be counted upon to defend her with his
powerful eloquence against all assaults
of her enemies. 1t is comforting to know
that he Is our Waterman on the tower,
and we hone that his useful life will
be spared for many years to come.

ROOSEVELT IN THE SADDLE.

On Thursday last the Ohio Republican
Convention endorsed Mr.. Roosevelt for
another term and adopted a platform In
which the convention declared itself as
''holding fast to the doctrine OF equity
everywhere, in the exercise of elective
franchise, maintaining that Justice re-
quires any State excluding any of its
citizens from the ballot to be proportion
ately reduced In It's representation In
the electoral college and the lower house
Of the National Congress"
On the same day President Roosevelt
in an address at Springfield, Ill. paid his
respects to company of colored soldiers.
in which he said that 1t was his good
fortune" at Santiago to serve beside col
ored troops, and further that "a man who
is good enough to shed blood for his
country. Is good enough to DO given a
square deal afterwards"
Hero we have significant exhibition
of Republicanism. of Roosevelt Repub-
licanism. The Ohio convention was
a Roosevelt affair. 1t was dominated
by Senator Foraker, the personal repre-.
sentative Of President Roosevelt, and all
the proceedings Of the convention had the
Roosevelt tinge. The Ohio platform rep
resents Mr.. Roosevelts views. and 1t Is
: significant. that while this convention
was talking about enforcing the fifteenth
amendment and the fourteenth amend
ment, and reducing the representation in
h, no 10 dio.
tranchised, Mr.. Roosevelt was making
love to the negro troops. he went out
of his way to say that It was his good
fortune at Santiago to serve beside
colored troops He might also have said
and SO expressed his true sentiments, that
It was,his good fortune" to have negro
at his table with the members Of his
family, that 1t was his good fortune
to appoint negroes to office In defiance
of tho wishes Of the white people Of the
South, that 1t was his good fortune"
20 push the negro ahead politically and
yocially.
The southern people know now what
they have to expect II Mr.. Roosevelt ia
elected for another term. We are not
raising thh race issue. Mr.. Roosevelt has
raised It, and he is going to make it a
very live issue SO long as he is In the
presidential chair. Roosevelt will un-
Joubtedly be the next Republican noml-
pee. and II the southern people wish to
retire the race Issue they must beat
Roosevelt.
But Mr.. Roosevelt has strong oppo-
tiion at the North, as we'll as in the
south, in the West. as well as In the
East, and If Democrats in all these SEQ
lions will but come together and com.
promise their differences equitably and
honorably put forward man who has
the confidence of the people. they will
have splendid chance to win,

BOOTHS INTERMENT.

OF course, the story that John Wilkes
Booth, the slayer Of Lincoln. escaped
and lived until recently In Oklahoma,
where he committed suicide. was not
taken seriously. AS we showed In an
editorial article at the time, there can
be no doubt on the score of BOOTHS
death, soon after the assassination. He
was killed, and his remains were Inferred
in Baltimore, after having been fully
identified.
At the interment the services of the
Rev. DR.. Fleming James were obtained.
lr the absence Of a resident pastor, who
would have ofilciated could he have been
present at the time. The Doctor was a
native OF this city. soldier In our army.
and after the war WAS graduated from
the Episcopal Seminary and ordained as
a minister He was in Baltimore by
chance, when called upon to oficiate at
the grave of Booth, and he did SO quietly
and without thought OF sensationalism.
What was his surprise. then, upon re-
turning to New York, to find that his
paris hioners were very much incensed
against him. and those in authority over
him demanded an explanation. His an
swer was bold and straightforward
vndication of his course. but so high did
public feeling run at that time 1t was not
satisfactory, and he resigned his posi-
ton. He, however. had good friends
elsewhere. who appreciated his high
character and the dignity Of his position.
and he was first called to Canada and
then afterwards to a church in Balti-
more, and later on served in Philadel-
phla, we believe.
