A Strain On Patience.

A monstrous outrage to public
dccency was committed in the hold
ing of a Reunion of the Quantrell
survivors at Independence, Mo-,
last week. The principle figure
in the Reunion was the notorious
Cole Younger, who wns warmly
congratulated on all sides upon his
undcscrvcd release from the aiin-
nesota Pcnitentiarv. Tho Reunion
was held on the anniversary Of tire
barbarons aud cowardIy Lawrence
massacre, when $50 men, most Of
them unarmed, were shot down in
cold blood by QuantreHs band of
scoundrels. The Reunion was held
in the office of A. j. Liddil, who
for some inscrutablc reason the
people of Missouri have elected a
Justice of the Peace. The visitors
wore badges of bright red, on
which was portrait of Quantrell.
Not only were Quantrclls men the
most brutal and ferocious of mur-
derers, but their allegiance to the
Southern 'Confederacy was only Il
thin disguise for their acts of muir
der and robbery. They did not
kill men, burn houses and rob for
the purpose of helping the South
crn ConfederaeS, but to crafty
their own rapacity and dev;lish
aniu.osity against their law abiding
neigsibors. They did not desist
from their evil practices at the
close of the war, but kept on mur-
dcring and robbing for their own
purposes until the most Of the gang
were either killed or in the peni-
Tertiary. That any of these men
are alive today and allowed to meet
and "taik over old times" is an
! astonishing exhibition of the long
suffering patience of the American
people.-Washing,on Cd. CO. Ma
tional Tribune.

Roosevelt in 1908.

the St. Louis Mirror, ostensibly
independent in politics, but gcner-
ally Democratic, says:
''If the plaudits grow much loud
er, not even Theodore Roosevelt
himself may be able to prevent his
denomination for President by the
Republican party.
"You will remember that he was
powerless against the party once
before-when he tried to escape
nomination for Vice President.
As things look now, unless Folk
makes some bad brcak-which,
let's hope he won't-he will be the
Democratic nominee for President.
Mr.. Bryan, be it remembered, is
with him.
''If Folk be nominated on his
platform of "Thou shalt not steal, "
no man the Republicans nominate
can beat him-except one, Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
"But Roosevelt has declared
that this shall be his last term.
Can he consistently retreat from
that position!
eff the party demands it-yes.
'The drift is steadily in the di-
rcction of such a demand. His
party may not agree with all his
purposes, but it must let him have
his way.
"Roosevelt's way is the way the
people like-the people of all par
ties.

The Presidents FOur-Year Term,

Since Mr., Roosevelt took the
oath as President of the United
States four years ago, his record
for full term invites attention,
Without going into details it may
fairly be said that the list of his
brilliant achievements has rarely
been equalled in American history,
that his influence has steadily in
creased and that his hold on the
confidence of the nation today is
almost unique.
Perhaps the chief reason for his
peculiar position in the public es-
TEEN is his identification with the
doctrine Of the square deal. Of
course, behind this is the recosniz-
ed efficiency. Mere correctness of
intentions would never make a dull
or weak man popular. But with
his executive capacity granted,
his evident purpose of dealing just
ly with every man and Of seeing
that the government plays no fav-
orites has worked powerfully to
establish him in the confidence of
the people.
His attitude toward momentous
problems involving capital and Ia
Dor illustrates his point of view.
His institution of the suit against
the Northern Securities company
was regarded in Wall street rs a
deliberate defiance of financial in
interests. The owners Of the an
thracite mines equally resented
his Interference in the miners
strike and accused him of seeking
the favor of organized labor. Yet
he was ust as ready to rcinstate
Miller, the bookbinder, who had
been discharged from the govern
mcnt office because he had been
expelled from Il union, and he did
not hesitate to tell the leaders of
the Chicago tcamsters' strike that
the government would certainl y
preserve order in the city in case
the state called for It's protection.
Such incidents as these have
caused the people to believe in the
Presidents fairness and sincerity
at II time when pressing domestic
problems have made il of first i'm
port snce that the Chief Executive
should not ne suspected of class fav-
criticism.
This, of course, is only part OF
the story. The full record of the
last four years Is needed to ex-
plain why Mr.. Roosevelt is trusted
as few Presidents have been since

President Roosevelt has again
expressed his determination not to
be a candidate for denomination in
1908. The people have beaten
Mr.. Roosevelt down before in the
matter of pressing his personal in
clination upon them and the pros,
pect is fair that they will DO il
again. The President should bear
in mind that the anti third term ar.
gument has no force in this rcIa
