DENVER GETS CONVENTION.

The Herald extends hearty congratu-
lations to its sister city of Denver for
winning the Democratic national con-
vention of 1905. The selection of Den
Yer by the national committee will be
a. surprise 10 the country Although
he Colorado metropolis has been max
ing a hard fight for the honor. it was
not believed. outside of a very limited
circle, that it had a chance to win. The
general opinion Wednesday was that
the convention would go to Louisville.
or perhaps to Chicago.
AND the Denver boomers are very
lucky. as well as very able boomers.
For. the chances are that Louisville
was not able to raise the money re-
quired by the committee. If it had
been. Louisville would almost surely
have been designated. 1t is much more
centrally located than is Denver. and
possesses other advantages that Den
Yer does not share The attendance
upon the convention at Denver will be
much smaller than il would have been
at Louisville. 1t is too far from the
great centers of population. The trip
out from the east will be so long and
expensive that many Democrats will
feel that they cannot afford the outlay
of time and money.
Still. Denver win royalty entertain
the convention. The climate there is
gdaal in fha 90 rlx- esr,v,,,,,ar III ,,faL4-
are cool and the days are not warm
This could not be said of either Louis
vile or Chicago. As to hotel accom-
modations, Denver is very well sup
piled. The city has several hotels that
would be a credit 10 any municipality
And with true western hospitality the
people will open their homes to the
strangers within their gates. if neces-
sary. and take care of them. Nobody
need walk the streets of Denver during
the convention because Of the lack of a
place in which to rest.
The holding OF the convention in
Denver viii without doubt create
wave of Democratic enthusiasm in the
west. In late years the west, which is
or should be Democratic, has been
drifting away from its true altar The
normal place for the west is in the
Democratic ranks. The people are nat
urally Democrats. because they are op-
posed TO class privileges. because they
are against moaOpolies and other evils
the growth of which has made neces-
sary strong Democratic party.
From a purely selfish standpoint, the
Democrats of the west should be very
glad that Denver is to entertain the
next national convention of the party
They viii be able to attend ii as they
have never before attended a national
convention. And, after all. there are
many eastern people who need a west
ern trip for broadening purposes, many
who should be disabused of the theory
that there is no United States west of
Chicago or Kansas City. 1t will help
them to be better Americans.

wise custom which limits the president
to two terms regards the substance and
not the form, and under no circum-
stances will be candidate for or ac-
cept another nomination" To this Mr..
Roosevelt on Wednesday added;
Il have not changed and shall not
change the decision then announced"
Surely this is definite enough. If it
means anything at all, it means exact
ly what it says. Mr.. Roosevelt could
not accept another nomination without
stultifying himself. His friends cannot
urge his nomination without inferen-
tally charging him with hypocrisy Mr..
Roosevelt has absolutely eliminated
himself from the list of Republican
possibilities. AS a Democratic news
paper, The Herald is sorry this is true.
Mr.. Roosevelt would not be a strong
candidate next year. The people of
the United States have a fixed and set
tied aversion for third presidential
terms, by whatever name they may be
called, and this fact would alone be
sufficient to defeat Roosevelt if he
were put forward by the Republicans
The national politicians must now
perforce direct their attention to other
possibilities. There are lightning rods
up in every direction. The most prom
nent figure at this writing is the fig
ure of Secretary Taft. 1t is known to
be Mr. Roosevelt's desire that the big
secretary of war succeed him. All of
his powerful influence viii be thrown
in that direction. Every delegate vote
that he can command will be given to
Taft. The question is as to whether or
not he will be able to nominate his sec
rotary.
As is the case with the third-term
idea, the people have also an aversion
to the naming by a president of his
successor. The voters at large would
have very little TO say in the election
of their presidents if this were to be-
come an established rule. The presi-
dent of the United States has no bust
ness using his vast power for the con-
troll of nominating conventions. 1t is
not fair to other candidates, and it
could not fail to cause dissatisfaction
so widespread as to seriously endanger
the chances of the president-named
nominee Indeed, the present decrepi-
tude of the Taft boom may be ascribed
in large measure to Roosevelts work
for Taft
If the convention were to be held to-
morrow, however, it is entirely prob
able that Taft would have more votes
on the first ballot than any other can
didate. Still he would not have enough
to nominate him. There will be many
'favorite sons" at the next conven-
ton. Foraker must be reckoned WITH
not as a possible nominee. but as
possible overthrower of Taft Fair
banks will have some following. but
hardly enough to give him the NOM
ination. Speaker Cannon is talked of.
but his age will almost certainly bar
him
II is the opinion Of d large and grow
ing number of observers that the can
didate who gets more votes, if any
does. than certain bewhiskered gem
tleman who is just now acting as gov
ernor of New York, will be the nom
inee of the convention.

itably he Govt. Ownership.

chicago May 17.--A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Tacoma, Wash
irgtpn, says;
president Roosevelt told me that he
,s considering advocating the appoint
mont of a commission by Congress to
apnraise the value of railroad proper
dos in the United States" said b. S.
Grosscup, general western counsel OF
the Northern Pacific railroad and lead
ing corporation attorney. Oh his re-
turn from the east yesterday. THE
attitude of the president Is different
from, hat OF western state legislatures,
in d II he is not in favor of estimat-
ing merely the cost of reproducing the
railroad properties. President Roosevelt
Is willing to give the railroads allow
auce for the energy, enterprise and
patronage entering into the business.
While in Washington, a CONVERSE
tIon with United States Senator Dan
Iels and others revealed that the gov
eminent control of railroads win be
the big issue OF the day, and showed
a surprising abandonment of party
lines,
THE railroads will curb expenditures
as much as possible till after the presi-
DENTAL election. Two solutions of the
railroad question will he national is
sues Either states must abandon at
tempts to regulate railroads by legis-
lation and turn over the matter to the
national government to regulate rates
on an equitable appraisefnent of value
Of railroad property or there will be
government ownership. This will in
eyitably follow a refusal Of the states
to turn over control of railroads to
the government"
