notion that you have the right to think for yourself. and out loud. if you like. resign before yosI are bounced.
 There is no place for a mollycoddle in this admins tration. A mollycoddIe, politically spea king, is any government servitor who do es not believe that Taft is the greatest living exponent of Rooseveltism, t,1e next heir to the re- publican nomin. ltion for the presiden- cy and the one man in this nation of eighty millions of people that can save the country from gojrg to the demni- tion bow WOW sunless, of course President Roosevelt is continued on the job.
 This is d political contingency that must not be overlooked. The presi- dent Is for raft. but if he finds that he must sacrifice himself to satisfy pub .Iic clamor he might be persuaded to drop Taft and run again himself. In that event the Standard oil will be fined S29,000,00 more, John ID. Wti be burned at the stake. that merry old. sea dog. Henry Rogers will be fined q po- litical assessment of not less than $2.- 0O0, GOO. Hartman will be given am i'm munity hath, just SD as to show him where he is at" and Haywood and Mover will be restored to the ranks of desirable citizeus-and MT. Cortel- you will be told to get busy and select some one to run the campaign.
 Mir. Roosevelt would dislike very much to have to do this. lie is tired being president. and would be delight ed to take d trip around the world and come back just in time to drop into the presidency for four years more. Still. as he told a friend, there are worse jobs than being president, and if he must be president, he must, and that is all there is about it. As for Taft. if worst comes to worst, he can be made supreme court judge, and his record as a lifelong office holder preserver. Whatever happens, the president will see that Taft always holds down a good job.
 Those republicans who disagree with this program will be whipped into line. Secretary Root was nursing a little boom of his own. He hoped with the aid Of his friend Thomas Fortune Ryan to get the republican delegates from New York state. He has been taken across the presidential knee and told to be good. If MT. Root were a Blaine he would retire from the cabi- net and give the president a fight. He has none Of the battle-aXe courage that characterized the 'Plumed Knight" and he will surrender. If Root made the effort he might go into the next convention with New York's delegates behind him. Uuless the big corporations say so. Mir. Root will not make move. He has brains and like to see him put on a little more steam.
 So far as the democrats are con- concerned, one might say there is lit- tie or nothing doing. The only likely candidate in sight is Lieutenant Gov ernor Stuyvesant Chanler of New York state. IL is understood in Wash ington that he will be the choice of the Nev- York state delegates. Charles r. A1ruhv. leader of Tammany hall, is sa.G to be for him. Mir. Chanler belongs to the famouS Astor millions and is millionaire several times oyer. With the Astor millions behind him he ought to be able to put up good fight in the convention. and no doubt will. It is believed in Wash irgton that Bryan is not seriously thinking O: running again. He would probably be just as well pleased to see
