The defense of the Panama episode is
not To the point and inadequate. Ii the

Panama had belonged to British Guiana,
which lies little farther down the

aud robbed Columbia because she was
weak. The general public accepted at
once the view of the German Emperor
that President Roosevelt had been act
ing behind the scenes. All the leading
conspiratorS have since been literally
paid in cash for the part they played.
Space does not permit an analysis of
his bourbonism on the tariff or his pet
tifogging on questions of militarism
and It's big stick policy.
Roosevelt is a dangerous man because
he places his whimS and caprices above
the restraints of law, and the constitu-
ton, and justities his conduct with the
assertion that his conscience Is satisfied
The Sultan of Turkey cannot be a more
absolute deSpOt than president con-
trolled by such principles. In q recent
work of his he accurately states his con-
ception of the duty of the executive.

men that he is safe man for president.

A Sumner.

The Supreme court of Wisconsin
handed down its decision last Wednes-
day in the case, as TO which of the
factions of the republican party of Wis
consin was regular The people know
just as much about that question now
as they did before.
The supreme court did not enter
into the merits of the question but in q
lengthy opinion held that section 81 OF
the revised statutes of 1898 is operative
and the republican national convention
in recognizing the Fuller opera house
convention as regular, has absolutely
no bearing upon the question, and both
motions before the court were denied
The court stood three to one. Justices
Dodge, Marshall and Winslow concur

Section 80 of the revised statutes of
1898 is as follows
In case of a division in any political
party, and the claim by two or more
factions thereof to the same party
name, the officer with whom the certiii-
Gates of nomination are required to be
filed shall, in certifying such nomina-
tons or preparing ballots, give pref

caucus thereof held pursuant To the call
of the regularly constituted party
authority and if the committee repre-

tons or caucuses shall be held and the
nominations thereof certified, each

Hoar,s Earnest Protest.

Perhaps Mr.. Hoar's most earnest pro-
test against his party was on the Philip
pine annexation. The old senator was
an eloquent speaker and made many
splendid speeches in the senate, But
none of them exceeded that which he
made in the senate i'm May, 1902, on the
Philippine question. Il have some
times fancied," said Mr. Hoar in that
great effort, 'that we might erect here
in the capital of the country column
to American liberty which alone might
rival in height the beautiful and simple
shaft which we have erected TO the
fame of the Father of His Country. |

inscription which should recite its own

And then he turns to the generation
of today;
And now what have we to say? What

Theodore Roosevelt in his Life of
Benton" says: Political Economists
have pretty generally agreed that pro-
lection is vicious in the theory and
harmful in practice. =. The
moral difference between Benedict
Arnold on the one hand and Aaron Burr
or jefferson Davis on the other, is
precisely the difference that obtains
between politician who sells his vote
for money and one who supports bad
measure in consideration of being
given some high political position.
Says Pres. Roosevelt in his speech of
acceptance: The standard of living
of our wage worker is higher than that
of any other country, and it cannot so
remain unless we have protective
tariff" What a change of opinion in
but few years. A man who will
change his mind so radically is unfit to
be trusted.

The death of Postmaster General
Payne at Washington last Tuesday
evening, caused great sorrow through
out Wisconsin and especially in his
home city, Milwaukee. A week previ-
Gus TO his death he was stricken with
heart trouble. He had had several bad
spells of the same nature since last
spring, but each succeeding one left
him weaker He was 90 years of age at
the time of his death. MIR. Payne, in
the capacity of member of the RCpubli-
can committee, had participated in six
presidential campaigns and during the
last four of them was a member of the
executive committee of the national
committee He was the acting chair
man of the national committee during
the interim between the death of Sena-
tor Hanna and the election of Secretary
Cortelyou as its head and the trying
dasies that then devolved upon him,
supplementing Is they did the strain Of
the postal Investigation, Slapped his
vitality and led TO his final breakdown.

suggests more completely than is
charged. He doth protest too much
His protestations, however, serve to
throw dust in the eyes of the public as
to the seriousness and substantial ac-
curacy of the article. Those who were
interested in politics in those stirring
times when it was customary to say
that man held Office in this state by
the grace of God and Philetus Sawyer
will be surprised at the moderation
with which he sketches the regency OF
Boss Reyes and the absolute sway of
Senator Sawyer. 1t was in those days
that it came to pass in Wisconsin that
it could be said of well-to-do farmers
that they just as much expected to sell
their votes in the fall as they did their
hogs or crops. When one recalls the
extravaganza of his administration and
the violent methods resorted to it may
be doubted whether the governor is the
statesman portrayed, but
the article will repay careful perusal.
