NOBLESSE OBL1GE.

The victory of Tuesday was tremendous
enough to carry any party off its feet. 1t
would be only human for officials who had re-
ceived such vote of approval to feel Il GER
tain elation in the large stock of confidence
on which they evidently have to draw. Moth
ing, therefore, has become the administration
so much in the hour Of its sweeping triumph
as its evident sober sense of responsibility, its
determination to be worthy of the supreme
trust reposed in it. NoblcSse oblige is clearly its
principle and its great prestige is TO be used
not lightly or capriciously or in any spirit of
personal citation. but with an abiding feeling Of
solemn responsibility and an uDselfish devo-
ton 10 the true ideals of American statesman
ship.
The President led off in the hour of his vic
tory with a statement which has impressed
friends and foes alike with its good taste and
its patriotism. he, who has been so lightly
charged with 2 readiness to disregard on his
personal impulse laws and sound rules of gov
eminent because he was not a victim OF timld-
ity and red tape, shows that he regards not the
letter merely but the spirit Of our institutions,
and would yield to no personal ambition for
the extraordinary honor Of the second full
term which many have thought he would as
Dire to as g matter Of course. The President s
declaration was perfect in form and perfectly
timed. 1t puts him beyond cavil on the high
plane of disnterested leadership which is at
once powerful and self-restrained
Secretary Taft follows with q word OF warn
Ing to his party which reflects the same sober
spirit. Much has been given to the Repubhcan
party, and from it rightly much Will be re-
quired. The sweeping nature of the victory
is no warrant either in morals or in practical
politics for Indifference to any wrong which
needs righting in the government. The work
of the Republican party is not finished. Ii
could properly stand pat on its past achieve
ments and challenge Judgment on the way
1t had discharged its trust in the circumstances
which had confronted it. But circumstances
are always changing and party cannot stand
nat' fin the face of new occasions without in
vting destruction.
The obligation laid upon the Republican party
in the next four years is to meet the changing
conditions of American life in the old spirit
with which the party has before adapted laws
and government TO new eXigencles. lax laws
must be kept in harmony with the conditions OF
industry laws governing corporations must De
fitted to the latest methods of business. The
powers of government must be exercised In
all directions conservatively, but progressively,
making American institutions ever more per-
feet instrument of popular welfare and happl-
ness. 1t is clearly with this high aspiration
that the administration will enter upon its new
tenure 1t will neither "stand pat in defence
of ANYTHING outworn nor run amuck' In any
passion for activity or innovation. We may not
see new EZRA of good feeling, but we shall
have an era of rational progress

SUGGESTIONS OF WINTER

Those people who are in the habit Of read
ing the introduction to the forecast sent out by
the Washington Weather Bureau doubtless no.
tced something unusual in the report which
was printed yesterday morning. The advance
of an area of high barometer and an attendant
cold wave was interpreted as a sign of q sea
sonal change. 1t was thought that transition
had occurred. or was about TO occur, from the
fine, serene, genial Indian summer of the last
few weeks TO a period Of perceptibly colder,
windier and wetter weather. No attempt was
made to foretell the conditions for specific
dates. limitations were given of the general
situation only. Even So there was departure
from the practice of limiting the outlook to
twenty-four or thirty six hours. 1t remains to
be seen, of course whether the venture was a
wise one but If the government experts dis
cover that they can occasionally do such things
with comparative accuracy, the public Will ap
precate the improvement in the service.
Two influences come into play in initiating
winter. With the southwark movement Of the
sun the temperature contrast between the equa-
torial and polar regions is strengthened, the ex
change OF air between them is made more rapid
the friction between opposing currents is in
creased and the generally eastward flow Of the
upper strata becomes swifter. The other fac
tor Is q redistribution Of air over land and sea
In summer the highest pressures are found on
the ocean, and in winter on the continents, a
preference being manifested for whichever hap
pens to be the cooler. Inasmuch as the causes
which bring about these changes operate grad
ually. one would naturally expect that the
effects would be felt in the same manner. and
not with abruptness. Biologists say that an
earthquake is due TO an accumulation of stresses
for which relief is afforded when a critical
point is reached. Owing to the soidlty of
the rocks the fresh adjustment occurs sudden

A CHEERFUL LOSER.

The chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee has temporarily returned to New
York from the scene of his triumph in Indiana
and announces that nobody is to blame. The
organization was all right, and the only thing
the party lacked was votes MIR. Taggart is
commonly reputed TO have some faults or MS
own but he has never been accused of being a
bad loser and his cheerful review of the sltua-
ton is creditable to his heart, If not to his
head. In one respect he appears to distinctly
better advantage than his candidate. lie says
that nothing was wanting but Democrats,
whereas Judge Parker seems TO be laDorlnS
under the delusion that there wasn't money
enough, the Republican managers having got
hold of the trusts and taken all there was.
The Democratic chairman promises Tor NM
self and the committee to stick, and says that
he expects to open permanent headquarters
either at indianapolis or French Lick Springs
We should say that the latter place was the
better suited to the propensities which the
Democratic campaign exhibited and would De
a congenial choice, in case, as Mr. IaggarI
SAYS, there is to be no reorganization. A gam
blers' paradise must be just what the managers
are looking for
