No Opposition to Roo ,eye,t.


The prophecy, now six months old,
that Theodore Roosevelt would be
nominated by reclamation ut the next
Republican Convention must now he
accepted by all who have believed that
the wing of the party then represented
in Marcus A. Hanna would succeed in
gaining the control.
Among scattered district conventions
already held. seventS-eight delegates
have been chosen of whom sixty-seven
are instructed for Roosevelt. All along
the Republican line, moreover, anti.
Roosevelt talk has subsidized since
death suddenly removed Hanna from
the public arena. During the last few
months of Senator Hanna's life the
undertone of political gossip, especially
among the other Senators and the Ma.
tional Committeeman, was for Hanna
as against Roosevelt. And these men
disposed to revolt against the White
House occupant are those who carry
the districts-who deliver tile goods !"
But now the Republican party has. OK
cept Roosevelt, no man whose person
atty is wildly or definitely in the pub
lie mind. Hanna was the strong man
who still stood for the Mckinley con-
servatism and caution; and he only
could have headed movement, or
have voiced n doctrine, which would
have had chance against the strenu-
GUS President and his new" platform
OF the ten commandments.
But If the death of the great mana
ger is significant to Republicans, it
should be doubly so to Democrats.
The Republican party will be commit
ted to all the weaknesses of Its candi.
date us well as to the party policies
which Democrats oppose. Roosevelt's
headlong characteristics undoubtedly
make him an unsafe man, and I'M
doubtedly the thinking voters through
out the United States realize the fact.
Not one of us at this minute but
feels that, in the hope of effecting a
sensational coup of some sort, the ad-
ministration under its present guidance
may plunge us into an ugly imbroglio
which might mean useless war with
n European power.
Clearly, the path for Democracy
shines out of the situation-choice of a
candidate in whom the people can re-
pose confidence and upon whom all ele-
ments of the party can contentedly
unite.
Not that any principle genuinely
Democratic should be sacrificed. Not
that the man, while he should embody
all that Roosevelt lacks and should
have a sterling and statesmanly char
acter, should be the platform. Democ-
rncy should reassert distinctly every
principle which is associated with the
partys history. But let the man be
chosen for whom success is probable,
and who, if elected, will be big enough
to execute every party promise.-St.

AS the rosy light of day
Fades into the evening gray
Bessie saunters down the way.
From the shadow of tree
Turns her head as if to see
If at last she's really free.
Does she wait a lover true
Coming in the evening dew
With the story old and new?
No. She wanders free from care
In the chilly evening air
Would you think it?-on a tear.
Bessie, under mammals thumb,
Can't be reckless, like her chum,
So she's out there chewing gum.
