Mr.. HILLS RETIREMENT.
1t L. Fortunate for Him, but Its Man
ner In MT the Best.

hCA - VIZ i AbSSH
David Bennett Hill that he
will at the end of his sixty-tirst year re
lire from politics. but that he will take
II part in the present campaign. The mis-
take that Mr.. Hill makes is that he does
not retire now. This is one of the things
he said in his recent opening campaign
speech at Binghamton, New York:
That vast corruption exists In many de-
partments Of the Federal Government is
virtually conceded. 1t has been declared
often that more corruption has been dis
closed during the last four years than dur
ing the whole prcvioas period of our his
not be disclosed. Convictions for frauds,
however, can be counted Oh ones fingers.
The Republican party tends toward social
ism when it advocates the right to build
up one mans business ut the expense of
the community. What the American people
demand is Il free field and 4 fair contest In
the race of life.
1t is perhaps fortunate for Mr.. Hill
that he has decided 10 disappear from
politics. lit is most unfortunate, for his
sake, that in his speech. practically open
ing the campaign on the Democratic
side. he should have been guilty of polit-
ical falsehood. That is not The manner
in which Il good American should sing
his swan song.
All men should be fair. Mr.. Hill de-
clares that corruption exists
under the present Republican administra-
ton. and intimates vaguely that the Re
publican party is responsible for any evil
which may have occurred. He refers
especially to frauds OF the Postotiice De
partment. and there We're some frauds.
We at least admit this. Into every
great party will necessarily be migrated
some thieves. What has happened in
the United States following the discov-
cry that some officials of the Postot,ice
Department We're indirectly stealing!
What has happened is this:
The Republican party pnnishes its
own thieves and throws them out OF its
ranks. What happened to the men who
stole under the present administration:
They are already wearing striped clothes
and doing the lockstep in various locali-
ties. Could there be a better proof of
the %soundness and honesty of the present
administration in that it Furnishes its own
sinners, and, very properly, Furnishes
them to the utmost.
David Bennett Hill. in intimating that
there has been UNPUBLISHED crime among
the yassals of the party which is conduct
iuS tne altalFS OIL luiS government just
now, is guilty of political trickery and
political f%alsehood of the baldest kind.
1t is very earnestly to be regretted
that an exceedingly clever American
should mar the circumstances of his exit
from political life by expressions of what
are not facts, and of a sort never coun-
tenanced by the greatest leaders of great
parties. What Mr.. Hill said at Bing-
hamton cannot mar the outlook of the
Republican party one jot or little, but it
can mar the respect which the American
people held, aside from all party lines,
for one of the shrewdest of politicians.

SLY OLD DAVID.
Unique Position Now Occupied by
Judge Parker's Manager.

1t is not often that a political leader
finds it necessary to promise his party
associates that he will keep out of office
and be unrepresented in the councils of
his friends in case of the success of his
own nominee. This unique performance
has been exemplifed by the Mephisto-
pheles of the Democratic party, David
Bennett Hill.
The effect is rather g~rotesque. 1t is
much as if the king of the nursery rhyme
were to declare that he would not. in
any case, taste of the pie. after the four
and twenty blackbirds, had been caught.
.plucked and baked in a big dish of pastry.
The reception given to the promise
of Mephistopheles to "be good after
the LIST of next January" is rather com
ical. The more outspoken of the Demo
Gratis say plainly. "Pshaw! 1 don't be-
lieve it!!' while the more secretive ones
simply wink the other eye'' with a
grimace that would make the fortune Of
the man that broke the bank at Monte
Carlo"
1t is a sly old David, 80 it is! Well he
knows how to draw the ass's skin over
his own; confident is he that no braying
will hide from the faithful few his real

Why Change?

Why should there be a change in til.
national administration? What's the
matter with Roosevelt? Has anything
gone wrong? Has it been necessary to
issue bonds to pay the running expenses
of the government? Is there any money
in the treasury? Has the solsp house as
serted its supremacy since the palnly
days of Grover? Has Theodore Roose-
Welt betrayed any trust reposcd in him.
or has he manifested any symptoms or
spinal affection? Has the so-called Dem
ocratic party advanced any assurance to
the American people that they are any
more proficient in the twentieth century
than they were in the nineteenth3 Gan
they satisfy the honest, industrious, pro-
ducing citizens of America that they seek
for anything but to again grasp the sur
plus and again empty the treasury, as
they have on every previous opportunity:

What. positively. has he lRooscNellt

What. positively, has he (fooscyeli,
accomplished?
He has handed over to Cuba the gov
ern1nent of the Cuban rep0blic.
He settled the anthracite coal strike
which for half q year had dcmoralized
the industries OF the country.
When Great Britain, Germany and
italy We're attacking Venezuela he in
duced them 10 desist. TINS preserving the
inyiolability Of the Monroe doctrine.
The three commissioners appointed by
him TO discuss the Alaskan boundary
question gained a complete victory for
the American contention.
The Cuban reciprocity treaty. which
had been defeated by one Congress, was
passed in a subsequent special session,
because Roosevelt insisted.
BY the creation of a bureau OF CON
MERGE and labor, for which his inlu-
ence is solely responsible, the President
has tsAcn the first definite steps toward
the solution of the trust problem. Light
will be let in on the management of the
trusts. Then, when their evils are defin-
itely, not vaguely, ascertained a proper
corrective can be applied.
The door to China's trade has been
kept wide open to our trade.
But the most enduring beneft the
President has brought to the country has
been the assurance that the Panama
canal would he finished. In the isthmian
imbroglio the President acted always
within the treaty rights of this nation;
his official conduct was eminently cor
rect. But were it not for his exceptiona!
adroitness and vigor during the crisis the
prospect of the interoceanic canal would
still be years in the future. Eor nearly
100 years man has dreamed OF piercing
the American isthmus. But it remained
for President Roosevelt to bring these
dreams within sight Of realization. His
tory will record his connection With the
Panama canal as the most rnomentous
feature of his first term.
Thus Theodore Roosevelt has been an
upright and painstaking, vigorous and
useful, honest and PATRIOTIC President.
1t seems both wiser and fairer for the
American people TO re-clect him rather
than to elevate in his place an untricf5
jurist, who, however exemplary his per
sonal character, has had practically no
experience whatsoever to fit him for the
most difficult position in the world.

DAVIS WILL NOT DO.
Too old for the High Position to

Too old for the High Position to
Which He Aspires.
DR.. j. B. McFatrich, editor OF the
Third Ward Republican, a Chicago publ
cation, says:
1T may be that former Senator Henry
Gassaway Davis is planning to have his
money talk for him during the campaign.
1t is only on this hypothesis that his re-
ply to the notification address of John
Sharp Williams can be satisfactorily eX-
planned. The o-ctogenarian vice p%residcu-
tial candidate of the Democracy at the
White Sulphur Springs function indicat-
ed that he is sadly deficient, in so far
as present issues are concerned. He had
nothing to say upon any of the questions
which interest the voters of both parties.
A careful reading of his address fails
to disclose where he stands on any vital
issue.
The man who is popularity supposed
to carry the State of West Virginia
around in a shawl strap had not a word
to say regarding the truss. He omitted
as the speech indicates t',ere is no such
thing as the Philippine question. He had
nothing to say about the tariff. He is
CeFlul1lly Oiu enough 10 ID ueilIu Ol tuG
Monroe doctrine, but not a line of this
important bit of Americanism can be
found in his speech. For all he says
there is no such thing as the Panama
canal and the closest observer cannot
learn whether he believes in the open
door or reciprocity or any of the things
which men discuss. And has not Uncle
Gassaway heard of the United States
navy?
For a speech which was looked for
ward to as a sort of keynote essay, the
utterance of the old gentleman with the
barrel is a great disappointment to the
Democrats. To the Republicans it is
merely an evidence of the fact that Mr..
Davis does not possess, at his advanced
age. the necessary mental equipment to
properly appreciate the great public ques-
tons which must confront the e pre-
siding officer of the Senate.
'Of course, Uncle Gassaway is a thor
oughly respectable old gentleman. He
is also possessed of much wealth and for
q man who has slipped over the So mark
is well preserved and active. But there
is a vast difference between minding his
own personal business and attempting
at the sunset of life to take a hand in
the emu work OF conducting the
great affairs of a big nation. As Vice
President Henry Gassaway Davis will
not do"
