IS HE PLAYING FOR A THIRD TERMs

IS HE PLAYING FOR A THIRD TERMs
Somebody quotes Henry Watterson as
saying:
president Roosevelt Is playing his
cards SO as to compel the Republican
Party to nominate him, and in fight
between Roosevelt and Bryan the latter
will win on the single issue of third
termism."
We very much doubt that Mr.. Wat
terson ever said anything Of the kind.
1t Is too cheap and brummagem to come
from so distinguished a mint.
President Roosevelt Is no more play
ing to compel a denomination than has
every other President who has earnest
ly tried to do his duty. Like every other
us-minded. right-thinking Amer
lean, Mr.. Roosevelt has cherished virile
ideas as to what a President should do,
and what he would do If President. Be-
coming President at a much earlier age
than his predecessors. he has set out to
realize those ideals with an energy that
was not to be expected from older men
who have begun to weary OF political
strife. No one can 'say-no one pre-
tends to say-that q single one OF the
many things the President has pushed
forward has not been urgently demand
ed. The time has been ripe for every
measure that he has insisted upon. I'm
der his prompt initiative and unremit-
ting pressure Congress has passed in
one session what otherwise 1t might
have pottered over for two or three
Congress would have passed every one
Of the bills In time, but the President
recognized the urgency Of the public
demand for them and used all his in
fuence to secure immediate action. If
gress to recognize the pubfc's strong
wants and needs Is playing cards for a
denomination. then President Roosevelt
has been playing the cards. Then, also,
every public official. no matter what
his station, who honestly believes that
he has been delegated by the people to
do necessary things for them. must be
held equally liable to the charge Of play
ing cards.
1t Is a very significant and still more
amazing thing that for the first time in
our history both parties have been SUBJ
stantially united upon every great meas
ure OF the Administration.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Roosevelt has a very
laudable ambition to be regarded as an
exceptionally good President He has
shown this same ambition In all the
lower positions that he held. He tried
quite hard to show himself an unusually
good Civil Service Commissioner, Police
Commissioner. Assistant Secretary of
the Navy and Governor. In all Of these
another term was a more or less in
definite proposition. and cannot be said
to have strongly Influenced him. He has
said in the most positive way that he
does not desire another nomination, and
his strongest opponents usually give him
the credit Of sincerity In whatever he
says.
Why cannot we content ourselves
with assuming for him the noble sell
fshness OF desiring to make his Admin
istration pass into history as one OF the
very greatest and most commendabIe In
our annals?

THE RETIREMENT OF MIR. GAGE.

A good many worthy people are work
Ing themselves up quite unnecessarily
over the retirement of Ex-Secretary
Gage to picturesque Point Iona, to de-
vote the rest of his life to the study of
theosophy under the guidance of a lady
who has set herself up as the Chief
Hierophant Of that cult.
Why should not man who has had
70 years OF as vigorous and useful life
as Mr.. Gage choose to take a rest, and
where could he find a more delightful
resting place than the farthest projec-
ton Of his country into the Shutdown
Seas? There he can daily watch the
sun after his 5000 miles of course oye,@
this throbbing, fermentive. unrestine
land. sink behind the placid surface Of
the Pacific in weary content that his
journey for the day is done Maybe
Mr.. Gage will see In this a likeness to
cific representing the Eternity which is
waiting for him. Maybe Point Iona is
attractive because 1T Is the farthest
away from Chicago that he can get, and
the passiOnless cries Of the gulls and
the hoarse but innocent roars OF the
sealions are reposeful change from
the clamors Of the gain-maddened mobs
Of his home city.
As to studying theosophy. he can fad
nothing more innocent. Theosophy Is

which no one knows the esact meaning.

The Social Sen Gull.

Gulls love society. They always nest
in colonies and live together the entire
year. They are most useful birds about
the water fronts of our cities. These
gulls have developed certain traits that
mark them as land birds rather than
birds of the sea. In southern Califor-
MIA and Oregon have watched flocks

Too Suggestive.

In a small town in California hos

something better, suggested that the
hospital bear the name of the street.
One more cautious than the rest sug-
gested that it would be we'll to know
the meaning Of such a name before
making indiscriminate use of it. and il
is to this man that the success Of the
hospital is due, for on finding that Sal
sipuedes meant "get out if you can,
the name was hastily changed to some
thing less suggestive of who enters
here, leaves hope behind. "--Argonaut.

Denison got all it wanted of the


carnival long before it was finished.
1t is true that the saloons, eating
places, livery stables and a few other
places were benefited but the trouble
was that the carnival company did
not keep its word to the local men
who engaged them. They agreed to
give four free acts and to furnish a
band. In fact they had but two very
poor free acts and the local men had
to put up $4,000 to secure the Denison
band as the carnival company had
none. We have no criticism to offer
the local men who managed the VEN
ture for they probably feel worse
about it than anyone else. They went
into it in good faith, very largely in
the hope of beneftting the town and
had the Carnival Co. done its part as
per contract, the people would have
been satisfied. 1t did the town peo-
pie no harm, they could go to the
shows or not as they saw fit, but we
do regret that the country people and
people from other towns were induced
to come here only to find bunch of
fakes such as the free shows, the
SanFrancisco Disaster" and the
Moonshiners On Friday night the
crowd showed its disgust with the free
show by yelling and shouting. At
first this was in the nature of good
natured guying around the free show
stand and the "Eva" tent, and
great many people laughingly joined.
1t seems there was some i'll feeling
and the authorities were asked to
make arrests, this they refused to do
and the crowd soon yelled itself out
of breath and scattered without any
trouble.
