Mr.. Roosevelt the President Is prov
ing himself to be long-headed man. 1t
seems he has anticipated the Emperor
OF Germany as to The Hague Peace Con-
vention. where war may be considered
in NIL its perplexities of inception and
conduct. The American and German
rulers are looking to the future with a
view OF decreasing the causes for hostiH.
ties; or, IL there must be war. of chang
ing its conduct beneficially for non-conl-
hatnnt nations. Our government has
steadily and persistently hefd to certain
propositions us to the rights of neutrals,
and is prepared to urge their adoption at
the convention. The positions taken by
Germ and welfare In case this country
should again be forced into fighting. This
action Is long look ahead, It is to be
hoped; but as long as war is possibili.
ty it is statesmanlike sagacity that seeks
In advance to minimize its hardships;
and where we are neutrals it Is business
on the part Of this government to know
beforehand the scope of neutrality nec-
essarily international. This move on Mr..
Iloosevelt's part Is not at all usurpati0n,
as Judge Parker would be likely to define
It IL he were to be consistent. 1t n,
rather, diplomatic move in the interest
of humanity. and a matter for approval
by people of all nationalties especially
those gathered in America. II Mr..
Roosevelt should be continued as Presi-
dent his ideas in this matter will un-
doubtedly receive consideration Mt The
Hague convention when held: hut IL n
Democrat be chosen to succeed him the
matter will be dropped for two reasons
at least--it being foreign to the avowed
policy OF the Democratic pnrty as to in
reference in Old World matters, and
also because the proposition Is of Repub-
lican origin. 1t is well for the people to
understand that the advancement Of the
nation as shown under Republican direc-
ton will halt under that of tb~ Demo-
Gratis. and then be followed. as IN other
