Senator bailey, of Texas, Is very in
dignant because many democrats in
congress are Inclined to support Presi-
dent Roosevelt when he does wise
and patriotic action. There exist now,
as there existed during the Spanish
war, certain democrats who do not OBJ
ject 70 paIpab!s, sensible official acts
merely because they are done BY re-
publican, but who think there are
some ideals Of patriotism which may
be put above party jealousy. It is
against these that Senator Bailey d.

them white House democrats-

When Frank w. Boss announced
himself as a candidate for district
chairman over two months ago, be
stated that he had done SO because he
had the solid support OF his own
county and would have a majority Of
votes 10 almost every county in the
district, consequently he considered
his election assured. When the roll
was called at South Bend Tuesday Mr..
Boss received one-half vote from Kos
ciusko county, hut received none from
his own county. He, certainly is .

In recent number of The Saturday
Evening Post an article was published
from the pen of Alfred Henry Lewis
This article sets forth somewhat clear

Hanna for the presidency of the
United States. It also gives d fair
estimate of the strength of his rival,
President Roosevelt who maintains SO
1trung hold upon the affections vi
the American people. LII seems " a
far oil observer that this article is
good one for common people To read.
Must Of us believe That the tributes
paid To Theodore Roosevelt the man,
by people of all pallieS are not mis-.
placed. IL seems appropos therefore,
that such appreciation be expressed
through the medium vi the press.
The writer is not Une WIN believes
that intrigue is the key to high POSI-
{ on. Corruption wins not more than
honesty" In spite Of appearances u
the contrary. 4 study uf the career
Of Theodore Roosevelt and his motives
would help To impress this doctrine
upon the youth Of our land. The Key
note u his every action seems to be
the one word, duty, aDd his first pur-
pose not the gain Of gold but the high
standard uf manhood he hopes To
reach. He is a brave man in every
sense and steadfast in his purposes.
He Wa, fearless alike uf Spanish bull
lets. and of political criticism. With
all his young impetuvusness he has
made few mistakes, fJr he has always
been true To truth. He has made few
apologies Tor any of his acts, and yet
after he had offended his southern
friends by asking Mr.. Washington ~
lunch with him, he explained that he
regretted that his principle should
have given offence u any VI his fellow
counLrymen. That was the gentle
man IN him, not the candidate for
