A New Workers. Anxiety.

John Austin Stevens. in letter to the
New York Sun severely criticising the
general course of Mr.. RpoSevelt in office
makes this remarkable statement:
"One great danger TO our form of gov
eminent has already been dssipated
that is the possibility. nay, the proba-
btlity. that he would receive the nominal
ton of the next democratic convention.
In such case his Endorsement by the re-
publican convention would be foregone
conclusion. and an indefinite prolon atian
of his term of power a natural sequence"
When did that danger exist? Can it be
that Mr.. Stevens was at one time misled
by the praise bestowed upon Mr.. Roose-
welt by certain of the democratic leaders,
who were complimenting themselves at
his expense by representing him as a
f1lcher of their thunder? That did not
foretell any purpose on their part to turn
TO Mr.. Roosevelt in 1908 and make him
the democratic standard bearer Very far
from 1t. Their sole object was to weaken
him with his party, and advertise theii
own.
Probably no one saw that more clearly
than MIR. Roosevelt himself. While the
song of praise was at its height he gave
no sign of rapture. but went ahead in
cooperation with his own party as far

The New National Chairman.

Who wins? Does anybody win? Was
there anything of value at stake? what!
Mr.. New of Indiana. being second In COM
rnand succeeded to first place by the retire.
ment of Mr.. Cortelyou. That was the regu-
lar order ANY other result might have had
political significance. But that mad none.
1t is no matter that Mr.. New and Mr. Fair
banks live in the same state, and 1t is OF no
great consequence that this man or another
may say that the Fairbanks boom will suf-
fer by the choice. Such gossip lives but for
day Another day will find people reading
something else.
Mr.. New was born to politics. His father
was long prominent in Indiana, and subse-
quently in national, affairs, and Indiana
was long pivotal state in presidential con-
tests. The state was close, and had TO De
fought for at every election, state and ma
tional Three times the democrats went
there for their vice presidential candidate
solely because they needed the state in their
business In 1876 Mr. Hendricks was taken.
In 1880 Mr.. English and In 1854 Mr..
Hendricks again. And just now Benjamin
Shiveiy is bidding for second place on
ticket with Mr. Bryan.
BY every right therefore an Indianfan,
whether republican or democrat. should

praise the office to which he has succeeded
and the meaning of the succession. 1t is no
compliment to him to assume that ne VIII
proceed at once to manipulate matters for
or against any man prominent in current
presidential speculation. His office gives
him no power of that kind.
Who will be Mr.. News successor! That
is a question of some moment. We may
not know for eighteen months-untl the
republicans have made their nomination for
President. He should be a, man OF large
experience in campaigning and OF many
resources besides. He will need a good
deal of money for legitimate expenses, and
many former sources of supply will be
closed The trusts may not contribute
and many rich individuals may excuse
themselves on the score of an adverse
public sentiment Money will be needed,
and lot of it. -, $3.50
But sufficient unto the day. The right
sort of candidate will bring the right sort
of chairman, and the right sort of chair
man will not lack for means to develop
the situation and organize victory If vic
tory is possible

WhoP
From the New York Sun,

1t Is all very we'll to censure Presiden,
Roosevelt for his autocratic and arbitrary
course and to deplore his impatience with
the set forms Of conservative and constitu.
tional procedure, but Of what avail can /,
be to do SO when every day brings its fresh
burden of dishonesty and corruption In high
places?
The Presidents conduct may be open to
impeachment; 1t may have the gravest
best among us, but what effectual or
serious condemnation of it can there be by
public opinion when the provocation for ii
is disclosed? Who is it, of truth, that
is bringing the law into disrepute and dis
creditng the Observation-Disclosures Roose-
welt or the men who exploit our great
corporations?

Croker.

The gossip about Mr.. Croker Is all very
puzzling. Now he Is returning to America,
and now ne isn't. Now he Is tired OF his
Irish home and now he isn't. Now he has
wearied Of the turf and longs again for
politics. and now he hasn't. Oh, we'll. we
shall simply have to walt and see But II
the ex-boss only knew how much mixed
everything over here is, and what oppor-
tunfties exist for a man to whom saiary Is
not so much an object as the chance to get
even, he would not tarry longer on the
other SIDE There are more kinds Of demo-
Gratis in New York than may be counted
on the fingers of both hands, and two
varieties of republicans that defy all analy-
sis by the old rules. This is the country for
man of Mr.. Croker's tastes and talents.

Very Deep.

From the New York Evening Post
The first thrust Of the probe into the Har-
riman railroad operations certainly struck
deep. What was laid bare at the first sit
ting of the interstate commerce commits
sion was, in Its way, as sensational as any
thing uncovered by the insurance investf-
cation.

Drawing the Line.


I'm some inclined to envy;
Yet. after all, 1 guess
I'd rather have my troubles
Than some folks happiness,
No matter what the pleasure
1t must depend a lot
Upon your own opinion
Concernin' how twas got.
When days is raw an humid
An we are all in pain
It's then the microbe prospers
An sings a glad refrain.
An yet despite my sorrow
When all Is said an done,

No, not for all his fun!

EVERY one to his chosen work.
Foolish hands may mix and mar;
Wise and sure the issues are,
Round they roll, till dark Is light
The poetry Is little rough and cryptic.
but the candidate Is strong and an at
tractive man. A near neighbor Of the Even
ing Post Is Mr. Fairbanks. another strong
and attractive man. The Ohio river flows
between, but that beautiful stream Is only
a mile wide. Mr.. Foraker. too. Is a neigh
bor and he Is q man Of strength and at
fractions. So that in giving it's heart to
Judge Taft this Louisville newspaper pays
him a high compliment. 1t might have hesi-
tated because Of an embarrassment of
riches.
In the editorial giving reasons for its
choice the Evening Post recites Judge Taft s
claims to confidence. His character is prop
erly praised and his public services well
summed up. The story, often told, makes
good reading at any time, and supports the
popular appraisement of man who In
every office he has held has acquitted him
self with unusual skill and success. He Is
now in the full flower Of fine powers, and
serving the country most acceptably in one
of the most difficult posts. Undoubtedly
should his party nominate him for Presi-
dent next year IL WOulQ appear very strongly
to the best sentiment Of the electorate.
But the Evening Post errs in praising
its favorite at the expense OF Mr.. Foraker.
Judge Taft does not benefit, nor does Mr..
Foraker suffer, by that. Both are members
in good standing Of the same party, they
are citizens of the same state and neigh
bors. each in all probability holds the
other In high personal esteem, and both
figure prominently in all of the presidential
speculation. If Judge Taft carries the
flag next year Mr.. Foraker will follow him.
and will be one of the star stumpers of the
campaign The candidate will have no
ADLER or more sincere supporter. If Mr.,
Foraker carries the flag. Judge Taft will
render the candidate every possible serv-
Ice. and be a factor of great value in the
fight All he is and has done will be put
in the scale for republican success
For these reasons the real friends of
either man should not become, or aid, the
enemies of the other. The democrats would
not enjoy the nomination Of either and
hence are the ones to welcome such
animadversions as the Evening Post is just
now bestowing upon the Ohio senator
