Roosevelt has within his heart Of
hearts the thought of again stand
ing for the presidency. Every
sign-saving always the index Of
his own deciaratlon-points 10 Il
candidacy that will be actual if not
voi.iona.
Mr.. Rooseve!ts ; position is at
this moment absolutely unique.
Not many years ago the conserva-
tive Interests Of the country 'yiew
ed with alarm his election to tie
governorship of New ork. When
Mark Hanna, after the war, con-
sented to the use of his name in
connection with the vice -presiden-
ICY, there were IN this country
many sober minds nourishiDg the
thought that the great Ohio mana
was guilty Of Il weakness, that he
had yielded to the wiIes of the op
portunist. And when the emf
nent, the safe and sane Mai. Nc
kiuley died there went through
the conservative heart the angina
pectoris of national destruction.
The passing of Mckinley meant
the rise of Roosevelt and a power
full shock to every fiber of the Me-
kinley system.
Then came IL scant four years of
the presidency of accideutaism.
When the masters met in Chicago
in 1904 there was hardly man
among them who believed that
Roosevelt ought to succeed himself.
Alger and Depcw and Payne and
others of the old regime stood
about the Auditorium and the An
mex corridors cracking jokes and
hoping against hope: but they and
their little circlet audie nccs were
alone and quite unoccupied. The
real business Of the moment hap
peued among the people, and IN
the rooms where tie commanders
of the occasion were arranging
what was then called a ''cut aud
dried'' convention.
! Eiihu Root and Joseph &. Can
non of Illinois knew what they
were about. They had their ing-
ers on the pulse of a situation and
its heart beats told simple story
of & national craving. Roosevelt
was the remedy.
Since then the old guard has
passed away. Mark Hanna is Il
memory of complex, complete OF
ginization. The Nation has been
swept by the broom Of reform.
| Mckinley rests at Canton as a
monument of high minded con-
servatism. Henry Watterson at
Louisville has rebnked and re-
nounced the new Democracy; and
Republican leaders from Maine to
Mendocino ambitiously and Curl
ousIy want to know who is 1t.
| MIR. Roosevelt's spectacular tour
through the heart of the country
is not a campaign of his own
making. Yet, had he planned
selishly for self.advgrcement be
could never have planned more
wiscIy. The great valley opens in
welcome to him. Democrats
join with Republicans in greet
to the Man on Horseback. The
fullness Of the earth is bestowed
, ut the feet of the national leader.
| Beyond question, the Man OF
!: the Hour is Theodore Roosevelt.
Twenty Governors say that their
States prefer him to any other.
Another twenty would be hearc
in similar strain.
One question seems to be wheth
, er all of these States will remain
true to the idol for another nine
months.

ly importance-concerns The

can and will put aside bis oft

All we need in this country is few
more men on the federal bench like
Judge Lands. We have laws enough.
The trouble in the past has been that
they never have been obeyed and no
one has been punished for violating
them. 1t may be true that the peo-
pie in the end will have to pay the
s29,o00.ooo fine, but it is a pretty good
precedent. 1t will convince a whole
lot Of people that the laws are meant
for the rich as we'll as the poor The
big thief may have easier methods by
which to recoup fines paid. but some
time he will feel the law in that direc-
ton also.

question their right to test the opinion
Of their constituencies. He welcomes
the test and urges that it be taken at
once. Those who have expressed their
disapproval Of the methods of the Par
liamentary party will be opposed by
men nominated by and pledge bound
to the party. In Ave constituencies at
least this new policy will have a
chance to ask the Irish people what
they think about the Parliamentary
party. Ought we not to at least await
sentiment before disappearing of the
work of the Parliamentary party? Is
not opposition to the Irish Parliament
tary party opposition to the will Of the
Irish people?
We do not believe that the National
Hibernian expresses the feeling of the
order in this country when it attacks
that party. The national will of Ire
land has been expressed time and time
again; it has been formulated in reso-
buttons and proclaimed by conventions:
it has been sanctioned election after
election in over so Of the 103 constit-
uencies in Ireland. The Irish people
have worked and spent Of their time
and money to maintain in the House
of Commons a body Of men to work
for Irish interests. They have paid the
salaries and expenses of these men.
1t certainly would be unreasonable for
us here in this country to say that the
people of Ireland do not know what
they want. Until the people Of Ireland
at the ballot box show that they have
repudiated the methods of O'Connell
and that they reject as futile the work
Of Davitt. Parnell and Biggar. it is the
place OF those who are working for
the betterment of Ireland to do that
work In such way as not to attack
other forces working to the same end.
1rishmen should have no quarrel with
organizations whose purpose is to pro-
mote the cause of Irish national well
fare, but such organizations should
| find way to do their work without
| attacking the authorized representa-
tives Of the great majority of the Irish
people.

The hne imposed upon the Standard
ly the victory for the methods of this
administration that is claimed. The
conviction Of the company was brought
about under the Elkins law of 1903 and
not the recent rebate law. This
fact rather strengthens the position
of Senator Foraker and other oppon-
ents of the President. They contended
from the first that the Elkins law was
fully adequate to reach all cases OF
railroad rebating. and that the Roose-
welt measure was both confused and
superfluous.

Augustus ST. Gaudens, whose death

critics the greatest of American sculp-
tors Like England, we have way
of claiming about everything Of merit
for ourselves. st. Gaudens was borr
in Dublin His mother was Irish and
his father a Frenchman Just how
he is hailed as an American sculptor
is hard to understand. His work was
done in this country but he was by
birth Celt and by blood Celtic will,
a Latin mixture. His greatest work
is the equestrian statue of General
Sheridan now standing at the entrance
Of Central Park in the city of New

EDWARD BLAKE.

One of the seats to be contested for
iii Ireland soon is that for South Long.
ford. The vacancy occurs because Of
the resignation of Edward Blake. who
leaves Parliament because of advanced
age and i'll health. For fifteen years
this distinguished Irishman has repre-
sented South Longford in the House
of Commons. His public career is one
we'll worth talking about
He was born in Canada became one
of the leading lawyers of the Domin-
ion. advancing from one political po-
sition to another until he became lead
er of the Liberal party in the Domin-
ion. being the predecessor in that po-
sition of the present Canadian pre-
nier. Sir Wllfrid Iarrier. He held
cabinet positions in different Canadian
governments and retired from Cana
dian political life in 1891. In 1892 he
accepted an invitation to take a seat
in the British House of Commons
from South Longford. and in 1904 he
became member of the executive
committee of the Irish Parliamentary
party.
1t is particularly unfortunate that
he should be forced to retire at this
time when men of his cool judgment
and steadfastness are so necessary.
Ireland can never forget it's debt of
gratitude to Mr.. Blake. He turned
from paths Of honor. profit and ambi-
ton in his own land to the land of his
forefathers at a time when the latter
was attacked with dissension and
doubt. AS leader of the Canadian Lib
/ cray party he stood in line to be the
next premier of Canada. He was a
| constitutional lawyer. whose reputa-
ton had gone beyond the confines of
! his own country, and he was a man
of means. All the power of his learn
ing, experience and wealth was given
tc the Irish Parliamentary party at a
time when his help was greatly need
/
/ ed. He was not great debater like
Redmond. Dillon or O'Conror. bu. his
counsel and advice was invaluable He
had the power which so many other
wise able Irishmen seem to lack. that
of steadfastness-the power of subor-
dinatiny his own opinion to that OF
the majority.
The very fact that man of his
great political experience should come
to Ireland at late period in life and
take a subordinate position in the
party ranks for the sole purpose OF
serving the land Of his forefathers is
the greatest evidence that could be had
Of his patriotism. His services in be-
half of the Irish cause are the more
| remarkable because OF the fact that he
is a member Of the Church Of Eng
land. Like many other distinguished
Protestants who have represented
Catholic constituencies in Ireland. he
never took any stock in the cry tina,
the Catholic majority would override
the Protestant minority If given the
power. The Catholics of South Long.
ford have also shown a commercial bic
spirit in keeping this man so long as
their representative. Ireland needs al
this time more men like Edward
Blake; it needs their cool Judgment and
pure patriotism: 1t needs their pa.
thence and their steadfastness: it needs
men who can subordinate personal am.
billions to the general welfare. and
personal views to the views Of the
majority: it needs not so much brill
liant and able men. for these it has in

Owners are Liable.

A farmer or other person who
may be the owner of a bull is re
sponsible and liable for damages
for any injury which the animal
may do and the fact that fence
intervenes between the bull and
public highway does not exoner-
ale the owner for responsibility.
This is an important decision of
the Supreme court, and upbo
the constitutionality of the stat
ute. which makes the owner Of the
bull liable for all damages done by
such animals while SO at large, al
though he escapes without fault OF
the owner and further provides
that that the construction of any
fence enumerated by law shall not
relieve the owner from liability
for any damage committed by an
animal of this class, upon the in
closed premises of the adjoining
owner. The case was that of
Hadke VS.. Grzyl, an action
brought for damages for injuries.

Borderland, A Great Success.

The home talent play, Border
land, presented at the Lyceum
Opera House Monday night by
the Eagles Amusement Commit
tee, was complete success, both
socially and financially.
The acting of the entire cast was
good, in fact, it was far superior
to that which is generally seen in
home talent play, and the audi
ence, which filled the house, show
ed their appreciation by repeated
applause 1t would be impossible
to give any one Of The players in
dividual praise, as all took their
respective parts in an able man
ner. Much work and time had
been put IN by those taking part
as we'll as the management and
their efforts for success were
we'll paid by the large audience.
A social dance was held after
the show and was attended by a
large crowd, who tripped the light
fantastic until an early hour.
1t is expected that Borderland
will be presented at Hackley on
or about the 10th OF this month,
and should they do so, it is need
less to say that the Hackleyites
will give them a crowded house.
