she was imprisoned five days and

thermometer was twenty-five degrees
below zero. This caused a hunger
strike" among the political prison
ers. and the severe punishment OF
two or three whose protests were
energetic. II is said that the inspec

Moreover, he has fully impressed
those who are near enough to him to
Judge him, apa;t from the impression
that still endures as the result of
his youthful folliee, with the actual
soundness of his judgment and the
genuine ideality OF his views of pub

tiousness is questioned only by those
whose opinions of the man are based
on a superficial knowledge of his
character.
Senator Bailey is still handicapped
by his own sensitiveness. He has not
shed the tender skin that shows red
at the hint of criticism, and fairly
sheds blood when criticism becomes
positive and unmistakable. This is
an unfortunate quality for a man in

The Presidents Popularity.

The report that the older politicians
of the Republican party are some
what disgruntled and cross over the
choice of Mr.. Cortelyou as campaign
manager is probably true in a meas
ure; and it is also undoubtedly true
that they do not dare make any open
and vigorous protest, because they
know that the Presidents popularity
throughout the country makes him
the only possible candidate. The sit
uation has its humorous features. 1t
is also instructive.
In this connection it is worth while
to consider just what the reason of
this phenomenal popularity of Mr..
Roosevelt may be. Nine people out
of ten who admire the President
would probably give as their first
reason the fact that he is "a square
man." honest, fearless, and not to
be deferred by considerations of pol
icy from doing anything which needs
to be done II is this which makes
his success in the coming election so
nearly a foregone conclusion. There
are other qualities in Mr. Roosevelt
which the people undoubtedly adj
mire, but this is the quality which
most strongly appeals to them.
Considering this plain and unde-
niable fact. it becomes clear that the
choice of campaign manager for such
a candidate must be influenced by it
and that nothing could be more dis
astrous than 70 have in this place
man already identified with all the
policies to which the candidate is
known to be opposed. II there were
no other reason for the choice OF
Mr.. Cortelyou, the fact that he has
not been mixed up in previous cleo
ton deals would be a pretty good
/ one
1t cannot be charged, however, thai
more experienced men have not haC
/ their chance to be chosen. AS Mr.
Roosevelt said when the murmurs o
the disgruntled ones first began t
be heard, his decision was not mad,
hastily, and all the big men Of tn,
Republican party had a chance t,
! suggest somebody If they wanted to
The plain truth is that they did no
take that chance. Now they are re

their consciences, by grumbling owe
the decision which has finally beel
made.
Such actions are not phenomenal
