STANDING PAT.

Apropos OF the republi demand TO

appreciation the striking summing up
OF the situation which Representative
John Sharp Williams addressed to the
republican majority in congress just be.
fore that body adjourned in the spring
Mr.. Williams SAID:
WHY are you afraid to tell us and
the country what you want 10 do? Why
are you afraid to tell the American PEG.
pie how or on what principle you want
to revise the tariff? Why are you afraid
to tell them to what extent you would
revise it? Why do you not explain the
phrase, stand pat?' Stand pat how
long? And how far-up to the limit or
beyond the limit, or where? What in
the world is the reason that the tariff
cannot be revised by its friends now?
Is there single one Of you over there
that is not its friend?"

ANXIOUS TO FIGHT"

The president, in lis now famous
speech to the cadets at West Point, laid
down a doctrine which can not with
safety be endorsed by the American
people. To say that "a good soldier
must not only be willing to fight, but
anxious 70 9ght, " is TO say that desire
to kill is necessary part OF the soldiers
equipment. If that be true it j. necces.
sary that the army be reduced to the
smallest imi, consistent with public
security and il is not certain that any
foreign danger can equa the danger that
arises from the training OF men to desire
TO take human life. That man can
sincerely accept the Christian religion,
as the president does, and still manifest
and slaughter shows how difficult il is to
bring the physical man into subsection to
the spiritual man. Mr. Roosevelt seems
to enjoy more than his predecessors the
exercise OF power. He has no natural
aptitude for the exercise OF authority, for
self-control Is the first essent. al in the
rules, but be loves to give commands.
II is this passion for power that makes
him dangerous man in the white house.
Judge Parker Is the very antithess OF
President Roosevelt. He is judicial in
temperament and deliberate in action;
his inclinations are toward peace rather
than toward war. He would stimulate
the youth OF the land to follow business
pursuits rather than to prepare for car
mage. -Four more years of the physical
strenuousness and pol teal uncertainty
OF Rooseveltism and the,country would be
on the vei e Of nervous pIostration; four
years OF Parkerism will not bring the
economic reforms which the people need
but they will give the people rest and
prepare them 10 renew the struggle IN
earn es. il 1898.

Editor Musser OF the Cynthia Ky.
Times, who is careful student OF the
Bible, has discovered quotation which
he insists has direct reference to Presi
dent Roosevelt. The passage in question
is found in revelations and reads as fol
lows: "And there was given TO him g
mouth speaking great things and blasp'
hemies and power was given unto him
for forty and two months" Then are
forty.eight months in a presidential
term. and Mr. Mckinley served but six
Of second term. That left "forty and
two months" for Mr. Roosevelt to serve.
The quotation is interesting in the light
Of political developments.
