people will form the most interesting
part of the history OF our time.
All Of them are still in full activity,
and whatever may be said Of them
now can only be fragmentary; their
end must have come before they
should be judged. Roosevelt, how
ever. has probably passed the zenith
of his activity. He seems unshakably
opposed to third term. and his deeds
may soon be summed up.
II is pleasing 10 the humanitarian
TO be able 10 say that Roosevelt owes
his great popularity to the fact that
that ne is a type OF what is best IN
the American nation. This Is as fat
tering to the President as to the
American people. Both people and
President have. Of course. their short
comings. and possibly they feel so
much more closely drawn to each
other as these are identical.
Roosevelt instincts lean toward all
that Is clean, good. sound. and honest.

that the man who dominates political
life as no other American statesman
has ever done before him-President
Roosevelt. 1 mean. of course-is an
open admirer Of and believer in the
the poetry of German college life, FOR
there is no doubt that this has made
him popular in Germany.
Should he then really be sent to
America, IL will be no less important
TO the young prince to study at close
range this remarkable man and his
relations with his people than to make
a comparison between Harvard and
Bonn. The President is an example
of the kind OF men American univer-
stiles turn out.

large halls for the purpose OF debating
questions OF vital interest, economic

system as here. and II a student be-
comes prominent he becomes so only

How very different from this Is the
life or the students at German col
leges! The first thing German stu
dent does is TO join narrow circle and
TO cut. himself of from all communi-
cation with everybody outside this
circle. Those from the same part OF
the country stick together. those who
are equal socially form their own as
sociation. Amy one who Is outside the

sible; the American just the opposite.
Which one Of these principles is most
in harmony with the spirit OF the
times? Which one of them makes
man more fit to enter into public life?
1t is the participation OF the masses
In political and public life which Is
the most characteristic sign Of our
time. 1t is one of the most important
OF all tasks 10 get the people 70 take
an interest in public affairs
To bring about this interest should
be the object OF everyone who de-
sires to participate in the moiding OF
our political de5ttnies. American coll

The daily morning journal and courier., 1907-09-19

As the corruption of the electorate has widened, the demand for money has increased. a demand which long outgrew any sum that could be raised by patriotic contributors. So corpora tions having favors to ask were invit- led to contribute, and they did so knowing full we'll that when legisla- tion was needed or undesirable legis- lation was threatened, the head or ganization could be relied upon for assistance"
 It may be contended that these words come with poor grace from the lips of a defeated candidate. We should have preferred them from the lips of the successful candidate, but 1t is better that they come as they do rather than they did not come at all. While we are at it the linen might as well be washed thoroughly.

NOT NONE, BUT 4nREE.

The prophet who long ago prophe- sled that there would be no Summer in 1907 got 1t about as far wrong as he could, and if he is where he can see his blunder he must be glad he is safely dead. We have had the regular Summer, which was regular enough to suit all concerned. Then we have had a second, or supplementary Septem- Der Summer, which was as hot as any Summer ought to be. And the Indian Summer is coming.
 So instead of no Summer in 1907 we shall have had three Summers when we are through. As no venerated and dead prophet has prophesied that there is going to be no Winter the next time Winter is due we are justi- fled in not expecting three Winters. One will be enough for all but those insouciant beings who look on Winter only as the time for sliding, skating or going to dances.
