PLEADING Fur PEACE.

A change has come over the dreams
and aspirations df President Roose
welt and his political advisers. FroH
bellicCse swashbucklers who only
three days ago were going to makt
Hanna fish u cut bait, meaning that
they would compel the Ohio senator
to announce definitely whether OF not
he was candidate for president. they
have become meek and lowly angels
of peace.
This is hcw a Washington newspa-
per, which is extremely diligent and
unwaveri ring in its championship Of the
presidents cause. puts the case:
Good friends of President Roose-
welt and Senator Hanna are engaged
at this time in endeavoring to mitigate
the possible evil effect of the efforts
of overzealous friends of bsdh these
eminent Republicans to pronounce TO
the public the real situation. Within
the past few weeks the work Of. to
use a plain word, busybodias in car
rying tales to MI Roosevelt alb ut
what Mr. Hanna was intending to do,
or not to do. aad telling Mr. Hanna
what the president was going to de-
mand of him OF not demand of him,
has resulted in producing a situation
which might easily strain the friend.

Obviously someone in the presidents
camp possessing enough authority to
command radical change of program
became alarmed al the way things
were going ana put a stop to the light
ing talk that has been SO plentiful for
ten days past If il was permitted /
go on unchecked Senator Hanna
might be driven to the eNpedient of am
nouncing his candidacy and nothing
more disastrous to the presidents
political fortunes could occur.
Keep Hanna ON the fence" is the
new slogan OF the Roosevelt party.
Keep hlm from announcing that he
is candidate until the state conyen-
tions have been held and then he
can go way back and sit down. In
the meantime, the presidents friends
figure and not without reason, a ma
jcrity OF the conventions will instruct
their delegates 10 the national con
ention for Roosevelt, because he ie
the only acknowledged candidate foi
the Republican nomination. Witt
Hanna in the fight, however. Roose
velt instructions would be difficult
/, obtain and in many states the,

could not be obtained at all; therefore
the urgent necessity for keeping Han
ma quiet is plain even to the humblest
political tyro.

word back that the negro Woodward; with

that the jailor had better look out. Your

found that there was a large knife found
in the cell which had been used for 4

the knife, denying any knowledge OF how
the knife came to DO there. The knife
