Our President.

The president $ success in connection
with the peace congress may get him
into some trouble which he did not an
ticipate. Walter. Wellman says that it
is liable to make him president for an
other term. Writing from Portsmouth,
where his environment Just at present
is largely that of eminent foreigners,
Wellman says these gentlemen express
surprise when told that this is Mr..
Roosevelt s last term. They cannot un-
derstand why the American people will
permit him to retire to private life.
They are very generous in their esti-
mate of our great president and do not
hesitate to attribute to him the success
Of the conference. They say they do
not believe it would have been a sue
cess if he had not at the critical mo-
ment thrown into the trembling bal
.ance between success and failure the
great weight Of his personal and official
character
What these gentlemen say about the
wisdom Of continuing Mr.. Roosevelt
in office is shared very largely by his
own countrymen. His announcement on
the night of his election last Novem-
Der that he would under no .circu1n-
stances he candidate for reelection
was universally applauded because it
was the prompt answer to a lot of
ridiculous campaign stuff about the
man on horseback, the danger: of i'm
perialism, ETC., and because it was rec
ognized at once as denial of every
bond and tie which might interfere
with the exercise of his authority
purely in the interest Of the public.
" At the same time, great many peo-
Pile are saying that the popular demand
will be so strong in 1908 that he can It
resist it. That Mr.. Roosevelt would
decline the Office if elected is not prob
able. That he will decline the nom
ination if rendered to him is not i'm
probable. That he will enhance his
fame and enlarge his usefulness by ad-
herring to his pledge Of last November
seems certain. In the first place, there
are a great many things that Mr..
Roosevelt can do for his country almost
if not quite as effectively as an ex-
president as he could do them if hewere
president. He will never cease to be,
so long as he lives, a potent factor in
shaping the destiny Of his country.
The tradition against third term
is something worth preserving. It is
worth so much that it would be worth
while to pay for its preservation by
the introduction of an interval of four
years between Mr.. Roosevelt's present
term and another one. It is not i'm.
probable that he will be president
again. He is man for an emergency
and it is easy to conceive that an
emergency might arise four, eight
twelve or more years after the expira
ton of his present term which would
call him back to Office and undoubted.
ly he would respond with that full.
heartedness with which he has given
himself to the service of his country at
! the present time. But that he will
yield in 1908, be the pressure for &C
ceptance never 50 heavy, is not prob
ab1e-nor, from the present outlook
would it be desirable. - f.

The subway tavern in New York, some
times referred to and perhaps better
known as Bishop Potters saloon" is
said to be financial failure and likely to
be closed or to pass under other control
and be conducted on strictly business
principles from the saloonkeeper's stand
point. If it opens again it will not be
opened with prayer, nor will It be con-
Quoted as an antidote or counter-irri-
tant, but as a regular JOY water shop and
restrictions the privilege of Pur-
chase. Bishop Potter must be conceded
the best Of motives in lending his SYM
pathy to the effort to conduct a saloon so
that it will be moral force, but his fail
ure will probably be taken as another
evidence that the saloon cannot be made a
moral force.

Parker for Mayor Of New York.

A curious fusion ticket for the local
New York campaign consisting Of AL
ton B. Parker for mayor, former Mayor
Schieren Of Brooklyn for controller,
Thomas L. Hamilton for clerk and W..
T. Jerome for district attorney has been
suggested. Here are two republicans
and two democrats for the larger places
with an equal division Of the lesser
jobs. The theory upon which such a
ticket would be brought into the field is
that the old county democracy, with
which William R. Grace fought Tam
many, still has virility, and that by
combining it with the republican
strength, winning combination could
be made.
Evidently the task Of ousting Nc
Clellan is not an easy one. The re-
publicans are in earnest in their desire
to do it, and are willing to go to con
siderable lengths to join with any re
spectacle section Of the democracy,
which is travelling in the same direc-

a FlERcE CHAUFFEUR, OR LovEIs
Notwithstanding like that would make
a. fair title for Kiser's "Charles, the
Chauffeur If you read Love Sonnets
of an Office Boy and will imagine the
office boy grown large and learned in
the ways of the automobile and the pleas
ures to be gotten out of it by the mil
Honaire rnt1lionairess, you will have
some idea of Charles. Charles has not
become learned, mind you, in the trivial
matter of grammar; just in that Of run
ming an automobile SO as to cut the but
tons from the coat of anyone who hap
pens to get. in the way of his machine.
He is employed by young widow whose
chief JOY is to ride in high-power
''bubble'' at top speed and-well, the fun
she gets out of "autoing" may be seen
from the following instructions given to
Charles:
No. cripple yhoy fs
over people when you are trying to break rec
Ords, that Is different thing.
Charles was a chauffeur who could obey
such Instructions, with tilt. toward
Gripping one just for fun and no COM
FUNCTIONS whatever about running one
down when he got in the way of a record.
But he had other ambitions wherein he
was blind, and finally had to go.
Seriously the book is rather caustic
toward the reckless autoist, and. gives a
good bit Of amusement in the reading.

A WESTERN APOSTLE OF REFORM
| SPEAkS.-Men of the sword are also
sometimes men of the pen. There is no
| need to give names in Illustration. To
prove the assertion there comes to us a
| little book entitled Reform, by Colonel r.
| de Clairmont, auditor Of the Orpheum
| Circuit company. The subject is treated
under various heads: "Caveat Patria,' -
Law and Justice" Legislation" THE
| Press "Educa tion," Religion, -
Finance Federal Government" and
United States Army" These chapters
are followed by the authors concluding
judgment. 1t will be seen that the man
of the sword in this case is not at all
shy in meeting the issues at stake In the
whole field of reform. He is not afraid to
''call a spade a SPADE; and he does 1t
with candor that is very engaging. We
cannot but admire his pluck. The
colonel has given readable book, and
given it with the air of a scholar.

English cities have much larger
field of home rule than American
cities. They can ransin debt In a good
many ways denied to American cities:
They can contract a volume of debt
which would be impossible to American
cities. It is this freedom of debt-con-
tracing which accounts for many of
the trading" operations Of English
and Scotch towns which have carried
municipal ownership to an excess.
The ardent municipalo man
believes we are behind the times in
not allowing our cities the liberty ac-
corded to British municipalities. Eng
lish opponents Of trading" on the
other hand, are becoming very much
impressed with the American system Of
limiting the powers Of councils over
the public purse. They are especially
envious of the facility with which an
American citizen may take new law
into court and test it's constitutionality.
They wish they had something like it.
Perhaps when we look at our restricted
home rule with the eyes of conserva.
tive Englishmen we will be less testy
over it's limitations. ~. .-se -.>'-. ..E

Premier Robin and his colleagues in

The result of the masterful policy of

will be that the battle will be confined
