If your pitch is wisely graded

Mr.. Roosevelt and MI. Hughes


From the New York Times
If ever there was a man who might
offer up the traditional prayer, In full
confidence that he could care for his
enemies. that the gods would relieve him
of his friends, it Is Mr.. Roosevelt. And
of none might he more earnestly ask to be
relieved than of those gentlemen who are
seeking to put him in the attitude Of de-
string an uninstructed delegation from
New York to the republican national con-
vention because II instructions were given
at all they must be for the nomination Of
Gov. Hughes. His natural disgust with
the group engaged in this cabal may
have allowed the impression to go out
that the underlying reason why Mr..
Roosevelt would prevent instructions for
Mr.. Hughes is his wish that the New
ment, be free to join in stampeding the
convention for his own denomination.
Altogether a situation is created that
must be extremely annoying to Mr.. Roose-
welt. who does not feel himself in posi-
ton to deal with 1t openly and conclu-
sively. No one can see more clearly
than he that the mere intimation that he
would accept the republican nomination.
no matter In what manner presented,
after his self-imposed pledge not to serve
possible injury to him. To add to this
intimation the further one that he is
preparing to have the nomination forced
on him, and in pursuance of that aim is
aiding in depriving Mr.. Hughes of the
New York delegation. is an insufferable
insult. which. were he differently placed,
he would resent and castigate with the
utmost energy. The scruples that stand
in the way of his doing this seem to US
little exaggerated. 1t is to be hoped,
before the plots Of the constituencies poll
ticians who are now posing as his friends
and representatives have gone too Tar. he
will find a way to balk them. Not only
grave public interests, but his integrity
as a public man, are involved.

The Governments Guarantee.

Mr.. Bryan's prescription Of a govern
ment guarantee Of national bank deposits
is interesting chiefly for what it leaves to
the imagination. 1t Is one of those char
acteristic financial Organisms that sound
well but leave a question In the mind.
The individual deposits in the national
banks Of the United States in August,
1907. reached the total Of 81 $40 OBS, 402. 81.
1t may be we'll enough for the government
to declare to the owners of this money
that 1t will make good every penny Of 1t
In case of the failure of the banks, If
somehow 1t can make sure Of protecting
ITSELF The government now guarantees
bank notes issued by these institutions.
But in the case of circulation 1t secures
itself amply by taking in its own bonds,
owned by the banks. as collateral. What
guarantee can the government demand
and obtain from the banks to secure itself
from loss In case 1t Is called upon to make
good the losses Of depostors? Inasmuch
as the deposits are the heaviest of the
banks liabilities there is little chance to
md any medium of security sufficient to
cover the governments responsibility.
The government In a certain measure
oow guarantees the security Of depositors
by maintaining system Of bank exam
nations under which it has the authority
at any time to close the doors Of an in
stitution to prevent losses or to curtail
them when once the institution has be-
gun to go wrong. 1t has often been
urged that the United States grant itself,
through congressional enactment, a larger
degree of power in the premises. stiffening
its examinations, expanding its force for
this purpose and thereby increasing the
degree OF insurance against failure and
fraud. Some such reform would be more
likely to impress the business world as
practicable than the Bryan plan to guar
antee deposits.
Mr.. Bryan's scheme. indeed, is strongly
suggestive Of the case Of the accommo-
dating chap who offered to hold the
stakes of a wager. Yes" replied one of
the -bettors, that will be all right, but
who will hold your

Washington. often the scene OF national
and international conventions. represent
Ing all kinds of organized activity. is now
the ra1lying point of force for the bet
ferment Of mankind which Is today one
OF the most potent influences for good
In the world. The Young Mems Christian
Association has become a tremendous
power for uplift, for publication, for
moral Strengthening. It's membership is
expressed in terms of hundreds of thou
sands. Its branches are established In
every city and town. 1t appeals to every
class of men. to every line Of human
activity. 1t is universal, in short. because
1t Is founded upon the broadcast possible
doctrine-that Of the betterment of man.
There is no measuring the effect of this
organization. Every community has felt
1t In the quickening Of the moral sense
of its younger inhabitants. Every business
establishment has felt 1t in the elevation
OF the standard of individual probity and
in the cleaner conduct Of its workers.
The employers Of young men in all lines
Of trade appreciate what it means to
have their subordinates enrolled in the
membership Of the Y. M c. A.. knows
that they are more trustworthy, more
alive to the Importance Of being in earn
est in whatever they undertake..
This is a mighty leaven in the lump.
1t works because 1t is the product of a
vital principle. applied in practical fash
lon to the necessities of daily life. The
folly OF loose living. of intemperance. of
careless speech. of reckless conduct is
constantly taught in effective terms by
vat or;Ix l,,I
means. but by the force Of example and
by the constant maintenance of high
standards. The Y. NJ. C. A. is a great
church, non-denomnationaI, non-sectar-
ian. unfaltering in presenting great moral
truths and yet effectively adjusted to
the requirements of everyday existence.
There Is something for every shade of
temperament in such a work. For those
strongly inclined toward religious OBJ
servance there are devotional exercises
For those of athletic tastes there is the
gymnasium. For those seeking instruc-
ton there is the educational department.
For those desiring social surroundings
of a clean and uplifting character there
IS the home atmosphere of the orsaniza-
tion and the varied devices for entertain
ment. There is something for every young
man. and whether he seeks one phase or
another he Is certain to gain the benefit
that emanates from all.
Washington's Y. NJ. c. A. Is an institu-
tion Of which the citizens Of the capital
are proud. 1t represents hard work and
many sacrifices by a few and generous
cooperation by many. 1t is q model as
ISOLATION. well equipped and admirably
managed. and in the steady moral growth
Of the city It plays a most important part.
The influence that radiates from it is
constantly serving the end Of creating
here at the political center Of the United
States citisen body Of high ideals and
pure life. which inevitably exerts in turn
q powerful influence for good throughout
the country.

Mr.. Bryan's Latest.

Mr.. Bryan is quoted in these terms to-
day:
Il agree with Justice Brewer that there
should be but one term for a President.
When in Congress / sought to have an
amendment made to the Constitution. pro
v.ding that President should be eligible
for only one term. In the campaign of
1896, Immediately after ! was nominated.
the hrst statement l made was that II
elected I would not accept a second nomi-
nation. repeated that declaration in 1900
and that is where [ stand today. One term
should be enough for any man honored
with the highest office in the gift of the
American people. ] am In favor of MAX
ing a President ineligible for another
term without extending the present four
year period. II a man serve four years.
there will only be two or six Presidents
in q generation. and we will be in de-
plorable FIX when We cannot ind enough

| available men in a generation to fill this
Office with four-year term.
Whenever the country gets in posi-
| ton where there is only one man In the
will not be worth saving. The same
may be said of political party. How
ever men may differ in availability, we
must always recognize the possibility of
Is fit to be President or fit to be a can
didate what would happen If he should
die?'
That Mr. Bryan r;e ans what he says on
the subject of a second term in the White
House is open to no question. But Mr..
Cleveland was just as sincere in his de-
|lverance on the same subject in 1884. He
too thought that one term as President
was enough. and declared that he would
be contented with one. He was obliged
to revise this view, and did so with an
ease and readiness which caused the old
campaigners to smile. Not only did he
consent to stand for a second term. but
he put himself into the hands of the ma
chine leaders of mis- party for training for
the fight. Mr.. German and W. L. Scott
.of Pennsylvania went to the national con-
vention in 1888 with a platform practi-
oally reversing Mr.. Cleveland on the tariff
question, and would have secured Its
adoption but for Henry Watterson. who as
chairman of the platform committee sue
ceeded in blocking their game and holding
Mr.. Cleveland to his tariff message of the
year before.
Mr. Bryan as President would not be
permitted to decline denomination. That
his policies in office would be pressed with
zeal and emphasize his personality is GER
Tot I,ob of office he would
become more than ever the democratic
party, and this would mean an appeal to
the country on his record. Could he de-
cline to stand for Endorsement upon what
he had done? Would he? He would
yield. as Mr.. Cleveland did. His party's
hope would be in him. and he would be
surprised at how strongly his party In
that matter would tug at his heart-strings.
If Mr. Bryan failed to get a second term
it would not be chargeable to any lack
Of effort on his part He would play
the game, as all his predecessors had
done.
Mr.. Bryan treads on delicate ground
when he says that when party gets in
position where 1t has but one available
man for presidential leadership 1t is not
worth saving. That is the argument many
men are using to support their conten-
ton that the democratic party should
disband. Its only available man, they
assert, is Mr.. Bryan, and he has twice
failed as leader. A party, they insist,
which has been for nearly twelve years
under the thumb of one man. without a
representative in the White House or
majority in either house of Congress in
the whole of that time. is without excuse
for further existence.

Horseless Military Specialists.

One Of the numerous questions likely to
demand attention from Congress during
the coming session relates to the status of
long distance. There are several officers
in that plight. and In consequence they
are today confronted with the possibility
OF enforced retirement from the service
Some Of these officers. thus menaced with
separation from active duty, are still in
their prime, physically and mentally
Some OF them are eminently expert in
their special lines, in engineering, in
ordnance and in other branches Of mil
ftary work. In these capacities they are
never required to mount a horse and ride
any distance. Their duties are chiefly
performed at their desks. Never again In
the nature Of military affairs will they be
called upon to hike across country in a
hurry astride. Steam cars and automo-
biies are at their disposal. They can
transport themselves officially over long
distances by means Of the telegraph and
the telephone. II another war should
come they would be of the greatest value
to the military organization by virtue Of
their experience and peculiar knowledge
even though they did not move mile
from their present stations.
From several cities are now arising
protests against the threatened retire.
ment Of certain officers who have been
for some years there engaged in conduct
ing important river and harbor improve
ments. These officers cannot ride horses
with grace, comfort or security, it is true,
but they are contributing richly to the
commercial wealth of the country through
their scientific knowledge and their execu-
tive skill. Other officers, with a surer
seat in the saddle, might possibly take I'D
their work and carry it on satisfactorily,
but somehow the citizens Of the places af-
fected by the possible retirement of the
engineers are not willing to witness the
transfer for such a reason. They are
clamorous for suspension Of the process
which is likely. If unchecked. to deprive
the army of the active services of these
efficient men. Their protests will natural
ly find voice most effectively in Congress.
The retirement of officers after reach
ing a certain age Is regarded as neces-
sary to the stimulation Of the service
through systematic promotions. Stagna-
ton is unwholesome. 1t lowers the stand
ards Of efficiency. deprives the individual
Of incentive to study and Improvement
and causes softening of the entire mill
tary tissue. But promotion secured
through such means as that now pro-
posed Is worse in its effect upon the sys-
tenn than stagnation. Indeed, it would be
in some respects better for the army II
the more eminent specialists could be re-
tanned on active duty by special DISPENSE
