LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
Another Evidence of President Roose
velt's Saxacity

Mr.. Roosevelt the President is PROV
ing himself to be long-headed man. 1t
seems he has anticipated the Emperor
OF Germany as to The Hague Peace Con
Ventlon, where war may be considered
III all its perpleXities of inception and
conduct. The American and German
rulers are looking to the future with a
view of decreasing the causes for hostil-
ties; or. if there must be war, of chang
ing its conduct benefcially for non-com-
blatant nations. Our government has
steadily and perSistently he'd to certain
propositions as to the rights of neutrals,
and is prepared to urge their adoption at
the convention. The positions taken by
the United States are for our future con
Germ and welfare in case this country
should again be forced into fighting. This
action is a long look ahead, it is to be
hoped but as long as war is Il possibili.
ty it is statesmanlike sagacity that seek $
in advance to minimize its hardships ;
and where we are neutrals it is business
on the part of this government to know
beforehand the scope of a neutrality nee
essarily international. This move on Mr.
ROosevelt's part is not at all usurpation,
as Judge Parker would be likely to define
it if he were to be consistent. 1t is,
rather, a diplomatic move in the interest
of humanity. and matter for approval
by people OF all nationalities, especially
those gathered in America. If Mr..
Roosevelt should be continued as Presi-
dent his ideas in this matter will un-
doubtedly receive consideration at The
Hague convention when held; but if
Democrat be chosen to succeed him the
matter will be dropped for two reasons
at least-it being foreign to the avowed
policy OF the Democratic party as to in
reference in Old World matters. and
also because the proposition is of Repub-
lican origin. 1t is well for the people to
understand that the advancement of the
nation as shown under Republican direc-
ton will halt under that of the Demo
Gratis, and then be followed as in other
years of their supremacy by retrogres-
sion and by ruin as soon as the vitality
given to the country's affairs by the Re-
publicans has been exhausted.
