Hay Dosen't "Steer" Roosevelt.
1t is extraordinary what faith the
whole country puts in our poet sec
rotary Of state, John Hay. Those
who criticise Mr.. Roosevelt as the
man with a big stick" praise Mr..
Hay who agrees with him precisely,
and on whose advice he does every
thing. They viii have it that Mr.,
Roosevelt would run amuck among
the republics If Mr.. Hay did not
hold a restraining hand. We see no
kind Of evidence that this is 50, bat
yet the country is rejoiced that the
election keeps at the head Of our
foreign affairs a diplomat who has
no superior the world over. We can
boast that our country falls behind
no country abroad in the honor it
has put on a literary man, whether
president or premier. And we have
with us a fresh illustration of the
fact with literary imagination finds
successful field in diplomacy.

Large Acquaintance Demanded.


The democratic defeat has dem
onstrated another fact which polit-
ical parties in future will do well to
bear in mind, and that is that four
months is altogether too short a time
for the voters of the country to
become acquainted with the q%ualii-
cations of a candidate for the presi-
dency. The small vote for Mr.. Par
ker was not so much a positive
rejection of the candidate as it was
the declaration that the average
voter prefers the man of whom he
knows something. 1t is not likely
that the general results would have
been changed had another man bet
ter known been at the head of the
democratic ticket, but it appears
indisputable that the popular
margin would have been smaller.
An attitude of judicial calm" what
ever its other merits is not calcu-
lated to win votes.

Leading Democrats Scout Idea

1t is a difficult matter to find any
among the democratic senators and
representatives of the house who
have arrived in Washington in favor
of the proposed reorganization of
the democratic party.
Practically every member scouts
the idea and many declare it as
extremely ridiculous.
Before we do anything at ALL
said Representative Livingstone, of
Georgia, one of the leaders of the
house, "we had better sit down and
find out where we are at. / don't
think we know exactly what has
happened yet, except that we were
showed under numerically. 1t is
entirely too early to undertake any
thing like reorganization"
Senators Daniel, OF Virginia, and
McCreary, of Kentucky, share the
general opinion that democrats
should 60 right ahead as if nothing
had happened and that the events to
transpire in the next four years will
determine the issues in the next
campaign, and incidentally the fate
of the democratic party. Old demo
Gratis point out the fact that the
party has recuperated from defeats
as severe as the recent landslide land
say cheerfully that the pendulum
may swing to the other extreme four
years hence.
