FIND PRIDE IN OWNERSHIP.

Innate In every human being is the
pride of ownership. 1t has been the
incentive to most of the. great per-

to Stir it up, to inculcate it, and to fos-

, tion of the next President Of the
United States by the present in
cumbcnt OF tliat office. Again he
did not speak as u democrat but
as n respector Of the Constitution
which provides for the choice of a
national ruler by mn Electoral
College, chosen by plurality of
ganzers OF this Government never
contemplated that each President
should nominate his successor.
The right Of protest that Colonel
Har,ey has assumed is that which
belongs to every citizen of the
United States, and the facts COM
planned of are not denied. The
,hme kind bf Presidential resent
ment now displayed against the
journalist who spoke frankly at
Charleston and in New York has
been shown ON several previous oc-
casions against former friends who
have differed with Theodore Roose-
yclt and his policies. Colonel Har-
vev never laid claim TO personal
friendship with President Roosevelt.
The record is clear on that score I.
He has commended some Of the
President s acts and has criticised
others, exhibiting an impartiality
and franlness that ought 20 have
commended him 10 conscientious
Chief Executive. Because Harvey
strenuouslv protests against the re-
vival of Jacksonian methods, he is
denounced as cons, ,5irator" pre-
sumably against the personal plans
of the President. There couldn u
have been any implication that
-Co'onel Harvey was "conspirdng"
against the Reprblic.
Jackson was the first President
who undertook TO punish an aspir-
out TO. the first office in the land
bv forcing man of his own selec-
tion. upon the country. "Old Hick-
ory' made no secret Of his desire
to punish Calhoun. who had criti-
eised him. There is parallel in
side tho Republican party today.
Colonel Harvey as democrat has
not Jared any worse than Senator
Joesrh B. Foraker. n republican,
against whom q revolt has been
fomented iii his own state "by au-
thorEy". Since the days of Van
Buren's election, no President has
attempted by any violent methods
TO elect as his successor any other
man than himself. Lincoln was
not playing politics when he in
sisted on the selection of johnson
Instead cf Hamlin as his running
made in his second candidacy. He
was anxious to deseciialnilze the
Republican party and to hasten the
restoration Of the Southern States
to all their political privileges.
Had Lincoln lived, the infamies of
the so-called Reconstruction pc
i1odN would have heen avoided.

"Dick holds the reins in Ohio

Mr.. Cox would do.
"Gcn. Dick smiled; not in paci-
fication of the big fellow from
Cincinnati, but becauSe he was
amused; really amused. When Dick
mingles politics and smiles, the
probabilities are that the back Of
somebody's political head is likely
to he stove in.
"Dick smiled because he had the
votes. Padlocked, riveted, spiked
down to the last man. Why?
Because Dick has been for some
years, as state chairman, the god
