ROoSEvELT'S POPULARITY.

Mr.. Roosevelt's popularity with the
people grows almost every month
greater and more secure. Since the
Portsmouth treaty added so much
prestige, he has been doing a number
of things that strengthen his position.
The South, it is fair to remember, is
hospitable, and even after what most
Southerners and many dispassionate
Republicans look upon as the theft of
an election, Hayes was treated with
cordially in Richmond in 1877, with
cordially and with generosity made
almost tragic by the general poverty.
But President Roosevelt calls out
more than the manners of the South.
He has been rapidly winning their con-
fidence, and even touching their
hearts. His humanity keeps him from
being at all sectional and this is felt
before the Mason and Dixon line. Con-
fidence in the President is also stead
lily increased by the firmness with
which he reiterates his statement
about a nomination in 1908. He made
that statement in order to be free; he
made it with solemnity, after much
IcucCJlOu, duu Iu6 dolOuuuluS pudoc 10
that so many reputable newspapers
are found to urge Mr.. Roosevelt to
break his word. Even if the original
decision were ill-judged, which is a
very open question, pleading with the
President to break what to many per-
sons was a promise is certainly unjus-
titled. We should be glad enough to
see Mr.. Roosevelt continue in his office
were it possible, but are still more
glad that,no amount of fiattery blinds
him to the truth that it is not now
open to debate. Whatever he does
after March of 1909, it will, we be-
lieve, be something that ought to be
done, and something much worthier
than continuing in Office at the expense
of the strictest integrity. 1t is more
important that Mr.. Roosevelt shall be
left an uplifting memory to his people
than that he rather than another
should be doing certain work at a
certain time. OF the many satisfac'
tory things he has done Of late, not
the least satisfactory is this firm dis,
approval of suggestions that are amaz'
ingly frequent. Better, while still in
vigorous middle life, to bear properly
the part of a great country's most in
fluential citizen, than to be hypnotized
by the glamour of official power

PAT GROVE A HERO.

The Honorable Pat Grove has re-
turned to his home city, as he delights
to call Omaha, the scene of some of
his most brilliant exploits He has
secured quarters at the Hotel de
Power, on Court House Square, and
from his windows he takes great
pleasure in gazing upon the statue of
blindfolded Justice, surrounding the
county building, holding aloft the pro-
verbal scales. The Honorable Pat no
doubt frequently wonders what the
old girl is going to give him. If he
gets what he is entitled to he'll have
a suf1iciency.
All the way from Butte to Omaha
the Honorable Pat Grove received an
ovation from admiring throngs at the
various stations, and many high
minded person wanted to shake the
hand of this celebrity. Upon leaving
Butte he was presented with numer-
out bouquets and bottles of Old Grow,
but having recently jumped onto the
water wagon, he generously presented
the aforesaid bottles to his thirsty
comrades, who will retain them-mi-
nus the contents-as precious souve-
Mrs.
Upon arriving at the Union station
in Omaha the Honorable Pat Grove
received the glad hand of some three
thousand representative citizens, and
the band played "The Conquered
Hero Comes"
That he is hero in the minds of
many people is due to the fact that
some of the newspapers have held him
up more as hero than as one of the
most notorious and cruel criminals of
the day. That these people believe
him to be a much prosecuted man is
owing to the fact that the Honorable
Pat Grove himself says that he has
been hunted like a wild beast, and he
| is known to be the embodiment of
truth. Yes, indeed, he has been a
much prosecuted person. and now he
is likely to be much prosecuted
man.
The Honorable Pat Grove proudly
asserts that in all his adventurous,
varied and brilliant career he has
never taken human life, but it is
charged against him that he extract
ed considerable human blood from one
of Omaha's policemen, and he is to be
tried for shooting with intent to kill.
And, later, the "alleged" kidnaper

used advisedly and cautiously to avoid
