Roosevelt and Fairban ks.

Wall-street opposition to President Roosevelt
appears TO be dying away, not because the men
who hated him yesterday hate him less to-day,
but because they begin to fear the possibility
that they will have to choose between Roosevelt
and Hearst And the wisest of the New York
financiers. typified by President Stllman, of the
National City Bank. and President Meyer. of the
National Shoe and Leather Bank, and the broad
minded lawyers like former Secretary of War
Elihu Root have never regarded Mr.. Roosevelt
a man dangerous to any legitimate business
interest. They feel, Mr.. Root aptly ex-
pressed ID at dinner given him on his return
home that the President is dangerous only to
dangerous elements; that. 50 far as he is con-
cerned there is entire safety for every business
that confines its operations within the limits
set by law To be sure the friends of Mr..
Hearst say the same of him. but from the Wall
street point of view Mr.. Hearst is pretty nearly
the most dangerous man who could possibly be
suggested for the presidency.

Mr. Hemenway rose and, in brief speech,

HEARsTIsM IN ILLINOIS.

A staff correspondent of the Brooklyn
Eagle, who has been studying the political
situation in Illinois at close range, thinks
William r. Hearst is threatening guam
THY there He finds that the Illinois De-
mocracy have not yet recovered from the
paralysis caused by Organism in 1896 and
1900, and that in their present disorganized
any political freebooter that comes along.
He thinks this condition favorable for the
Bryan-Hearst scheme backed as it is by
the socialistic element of the labor party
The Hearst boomers, he says. "have found
the Democratic field unoccupied and they
have moved in and taken possession. They
have had nobody to dispute their title in
the name of Democracy, although every ele-
ment of the party which adhered to the
principles of Clevelandism, paramount in
the State a dozen years ago, is here in the
flesh and figuring somewhere in the lesser
activities of local politics.
After careful study of the situation the
correspondent concludes that it is possible
if the Illinois Democratic leaders unite now
in conservative movement to prevent the
instruction of the delegates to ST. Louis for
Hearst, they may succeed but If they do
not he is pretty sure to carry the State.
This view implies a degree of supineness
on the part of the respectable conservative
element of the Illinois Democracy that
seems hardly possible. State that gave
Mr.. Cleveland a plurality of 27Oo0 in 1892
and which in 1896 buried Mr.. Bryan under a
plurality of $4,000 for Mckinley evidently
has an element of conservative Democracy
that ought to be strong enough to head
Hearst off.
The Eagle discusses the question edito-
rally and thinks it sufficiently alarming to
justify the Democratic convention i'm repeal
ing the two-thirds rule. 1t does not fear
the nomination of Hearst. but it fears he
may. by his peculiar and extraordinary
methods. secure one-third of the delegates
and thus dictate or control the nominal
ton if the two-thirds rule is retained The
question of adopting or repeating the two
thirds rule can be decided by a majority
vote in the convention. thus making il pos
sible for a bare majority of the delegates TO
put it out of the power of the Bryan-Hearst
crowd TO dictate the nomination. There
is no probability of their getting enough

DUTY of Church md Home.

The pretty theory that average humanity can
be induced to do right by ethical considerations
alone, unsupported by the authority of religion,
has broken down under the test of experience.
Religious convictions are seen to be necessary

place to create those convictions is not in the
public schools, which must avoid all sectarian
controversies but in the church, and above all,
in the home Those who try to unload the duty
of teaching religion upon the schools merely

weapon for Hearstism.
AS far as Republicans are concerned they
need not feel the least alarm over the

be equivalent to a guarantee of Republican
success. The only feeling they need have
is one of humiliation that such man as
Hearst using such methods. should be
