The Roosevelt Third Term
National League.

The Roosevelt third term league, re-
Gently organized at Chicago, claims the
people should choose their chief exec
utive regardless of his personal prero-
gatives. The people know Roosevelt
and a trust him, he is the peoples
choice and the only n at the present
time. Following from the Chicago
Tribune gives us an idea of the leagues
plans.
1T is not our purpose to appeal to
politicians. In fact, we don't want
any Of them. 1t is to be a matter
which is to come directly from the
people, and for myself | don't care
whether President Roosevelt likes it
or not. To my mind he has nothing to
say about it. He is the only man in
whom the people have absolute and
implicit confidence. We know he is
honest his actions have demonstrated
it beyond cavil."
The following from the league
platform may be of interest:
I'VE have come upon days in our
social and political life, fermenting
with distrust and requiring firm con-
troll"
ITO the people irrespective Of party
lines is due credit that their President,
today, is Theodore Roosevelt. A new
era OF real freedom and vitality in our
ms titutions of governm ent and politics
was demanded, and they wisely saw in
him a means to attain it,.

has this man reflected the wishes Of
the people, that his personality has
entered into and become a part of
every department of our national life.
So closely woven is this Dor "a between
the President and the peopl >, that he
has become to them a publ c necessity
an essential part of thi ngs in the
social and political fabric. Therefore,

The most salient feature of Senator

Presidential candidate IS that It pro.
fesses to cnst away his chance for 4
senatorial reelection in order to pros.
ecute a Presidential candidacy avow.

resenting them. 1t Is difficult to avoid
a lurking suspicion that Senator For.

paign in Ohio will cast anchors to
,windward in the shape OF legislative
candidates on whom. he can fall back
Il he wishes to try for the consolation

AMONG TIE EDITORS


During the trial Of Harry X. Thaw
Il was frequently charged by persons
and papers that the extraordinary
fight for his life wns rendered posi-.
BILE only by his wealth. BY this it
was sought to cfeate the impression
that In the American courts rich

llntitnde. or through his means Is able
TO compel more patient hearing.
than is vouchsafed the poverty.
stricken culprit who finds himself In
the clutches of the law. We were told
repeatedly that but for the ability of
the young man and his family to com.
mand ample funds the New York an.
thorlties would have made short work
Of his ease.
OF course. by the thoughtful and
well informed that Kind Of talk is
known 10 be misleading. It is unjust
to the courts and unfair to the accus.
ed beside being baseless reflection
on the American system of justice.
Even now at Washington. there is just
as valiant fight in progress for a
human life. as was waged in New York.
In this case the central figure Is a
homeless. penniless, sick, half.crazy
woman who had led n wicked life for
years. had betrayed her husband, had
helped to wreck two homes and final.
ly brought her career to tragic eli.
max by killing n former United States
senator. Yet fricndless MS she Is,
with reputation bfastcd and without
n dollar-and despite the fact that the
case Is particularly shocking and In.
decent In most of Its letails-certain.
ly this woman Is being given n fight
ing chance to either justify her crime
or excuse 1t under the law. All that
astntc and resourccfnl counsel can
do. all that distinguished alienists can
help, is at her service to save her
from the gallows or the prison. Mil.
lions might procure her larger ar.
ray of counsel and possibly more wit.
ncsscs, hut they could not add to the
quality, effectiveness and scope of
her defense; and, no matter what the
verdict, lt-will not be possible to say
that Mrs, Bradley did not have every
opportunity before the court. This
was trGc also OF the celebrated 10
serhine Teranoya ease in New York
tried last year.
Indeed, Il Is an idle and hasty
charge against the fair name Of the
American people no less than gu,
courts to say that the poor offender is
not given all reasonable chance and
assistance when brought to trial
And 1t is equally Ill-considered to as
sumo that special favor is shown the
rich mOleractor in the court room. Ii
there is room for legitimate criticism
tatafi III the case in New York 1t is
this, that among other penalties the
ldefendant Is paying is repeated delay
because of his wealth-anI we doubt
whether there Is good ground for that.
