The Largest Printed Book.

the RIDICULOUS SIDE.

All the Democratic papers have been
severely ridiculing on the proposition
of Mr.. John Temple Graves that Mr..
Bryan should at the next national con-
vention of the Democrats nominate Mr..
Roosevelt as their candidate for Presi-
dent. Not only have they ridiculed it
from the standpoint of political policy,
but they have resented it as a sugges-
ton that might possibly be taken Sc
riously by the President and Republi-
cans-as proposition that might posi-
bly, be adopted by Democrats and ac-
cepted by Republicans.
Our Democratic contemporaries have
been so intently and seriously engaged
In paving the air and placing their con-
demnation that they have failed to see
the-really ridiculous side of the sugges-
ton Of Mrafiraves-that is the prepos-
ferrous folly of any sane Democrat
thinking that Mr.. Roosevelt could be
induced to accept such a nomination
from Democratic convention, even if
made upon the motion of the Democrat
ic idol, William Jennings Bryan. But
1t seems that Mr.. Bryan was as dull of
perception as has been the Democratic
press, for he treated seriously at the
time 1t was made, and has since done so.
the very absurd and impractical propo-
sition of the editor from Atlanta. Per
haps Mr.. Bryan thought that Mr..
Roosevelt is made of the same kind of
political stuff that he, Bryan, is; and
that the President would willingly and
eagerly accept a nomination from half
a dozen or more parties, as Bryan did in
1896, and acquiesce in every ism set forth
IN each and every platform Intended to
catch the dissatisfied elements of which
the said parties are constituted. But
Mr.. Roosevelt is a Republican, and that
means that he would never allow him
self to be made the candidate of the
Democratic party, without he should
cease to be a Republican, or a man
of steadfast principles.
So our Democratic friends are vast
ing their power and showing their stu
pidity in seriously discussing and COM
batting the suggestion of Mr.. Graves.
Theodore Roosevelt would not accept a
Democratic nomination, even when pre-
scented by William Jennings Bryan on
one of his free silver dollars or a silver
waiter. We trust our Democratic con-
temporaries will eventually see the ri
diculous side of the proposition and re-
alize what billiards they have been.

Black Attacks Roosevelt.

Roosevelt is said to be considerably
worried over the attack made upon
him by former Governor Black of New
York. who nominated Roosevelt for the
presidency in the 1904 republican con-
vention. At that time Black said:
II nominate for president of the
United States the highest living type
of youth, the vigor and promise of a
great country and a great age-Theo-
dOre Roosevelt
Before the New Hampshire Bar asso-
citation Governor Black now says:
He (RoosevelD fails to see the true
relationship of things, and becomes in
volved in the delusion that the strength
he uses is his own.
Am | wrong when | say that the
constitution seems less regarded as Il
guide and shield and more in the ma
ture of hindrance? Am / wrong when
j say that the conduct and teachings
of the most powerful influence in the
country are expressive of Impotence
and contempt for this ancient safe
guard?
I'VE have read that the president of
the United States is in favor of law
making employers liable for injuries to
their employees, no matter how the in
jury results. That proposal arouses
greater wonder than respect. 1t could
serve only to open a new field TO the
indolent and vicious.
eve have read with establishment and
dismay the criticisms from the same
high source of the conduct of the
courts. Was this because these courts
had proved recreant to their high du-
| ties? Not in one instance"
Roosevelt has advanced theories
/ characteristic of himself individually
and characteristic of the party he rep
resents. He has not, as Black declares
made himself popular by these uncon
stitutional theories, but by borrowing
number of democratic principles.
| Blacks remarks are of value only
that they emphasize the importance OF
taking the government out of the hands
of the spite-fiinging republicans, and
let harmonious democracy control.
