IRELAND's DAY AT THE FAIR.

Nobody will be surprised II the attendance at the
Worlds Fair this Saturday should constitute rec

all Americans Of Irish birth or parentage and at

1t is appropriate that Ireland should be recog-

castles and monarchic designs the explosive col
lapse of bOmbasc fame. Oyster Bay will feel
like ST. Helena and the simple life will look like
thirty cents. but the people will have done good
days work.
Before the returns are actually counted and the
result declared condolences must be premature but
in tie of the exVicc President it may be bet
ter to sympathize beforehand than to attempt to
do so afterwards in the face of the land-wide re-
joicing over the peoples democratic victory which
his defeat presumes. What is the politicians loss
will be distinctly the peoples gain in this case
and. after all. this is primarily peoples and
politicians country-that not likely to mourn
very deeply. Profound joy over return to sane.
commonsense. peaceful and constitutional govern
ment will occupy us to the exclusion of almost
everything else. and therefore people who have
tears TO shed the mere losses of Mr.. Roosevelt
may well shed them now.
But who feels like weeping? just how popular
is Mr. Roosevelt: Would there really he Il lachry-
nal deluse over the political comedown of the in
dividual who has superby lorded it over this
country for three years? To what extent has the
freeborn. equalitylovins American citizen relished
the stupendons executive snobbeiy practced by the
gentleman whom the diceboN of destiny shook out
into the White House three short years ago: Will
it be altogether unpleasant TO us Americans whose
kinsly prerogatives are every whit equal 10 his
own: Rarely has history witnessed such an all
comprehensive and unwarrartablc assumption of
pcwers and functions. Never have the people OF
this country been treated TO such exhibition of
overbcaring behavior the three years of Mr..
Roosevelt have provided.
Human nature-at least cur Kind of human na-
ture-should enable endure to reduce to the
ranks the struttnc Colonel who has bawled his
litarsm at u.s. to remove from the roster the Doctor
who has so impudentIy anatOmized US, and the
paradinS Divine who has so blatantly preached his
own virtues for emulation: TO dismiss the Phi
csopher who has ectured and censored us. and bid
farewell to the Author who has so literally ndulged
himself at the expense of former Presidents,
passed structures upon our institutions and rallied
at all of history that had preceded him. When
there has not been too much of the Famous Gen
eral about Mr.. Roosevelt there has been too much
of the Superior Being. When lie hasn't been busy
with making history for lis as a World Power
he has been the great Moral Leader and Exhorter.
When he has not been Dictator lie has been Ar
bitter. In word. he has been all-around Apostle
of the Disagreeable. bullying and patronizing by
turns the people over whom he to WELD the
executive function by pure chance. Few men have
played to the grand stand" than Mr. Roose
veIt yet no has done less to ingralate himself
with the people. Human nature should be able to
bid him godspeed with dry eyes.
And the simple lfe-"the simple life which
preach to my countrymen'-Is yearning for him,
yawnips for him.

Brings equal ease unto my pain;
The temperate affords me none:
Either extreme, of love or hate,
Is sweeter than calm estate.
Give me u storm; IL 1t be love

My vulture hopes; and he's possessed
