The Presidents Reputation

The best evidence that Mr.. Roosevelt
is a great and mighty influence in this
republic. despite his reiterated desire to
retire TO private life and his prediction
that he will be forgotten in seven years
Is found in the persistence with which
the ieonoclasts and knockers pursue him.
one would think his forthcoming with
dBawal from the center Of the limelght
might serve to secure him present i'm
munity from these pestiferous creatures
who are forever seeking his undoing; but
it does not. The man who would dim Mr..
Roosevelts well-earned glory is ever at
the Presidential heels.
II does seem, however. that something
in the dead past. Of peculiarly embar-
RAISING attributes, might be left to slum-
Der on in undisturbed peace. For in
stance, II was hardly necessary for a GER
tain college professor to go to the trouble
Of proving that Dean Swift advocated
slmplihed spelling in I'LL. 1t is not prob
able that Mr.. Roosevelt is especially
proud of his simplifed spelling joust He
was game enough in his efforts to land
that thing among the list OF notable
things accomplished during his occupancy
OF the White House. But he lost out
rather ingloriously too-and It isn't at
all probable that he cares to have 1t
referred 20, unless 1t be absolutely neces-
sary; and It is not conceivable that any
such condition should arise with any
alarming frequency.
Even more reprehensible is the effort to
strip the President of that great glory that
has come 20 him because of his anti
race suicide agitation. That idea is close
ly associated with Mr.. Roosevelt; it is
part and parcel of the average concep-

bibles Always BInck.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Why should our Bibles always be bound
in black? was a very pertinent question
put by Bishop Tugwell fresh from his
field Of labor in western equatorial
Africa. at a meeting in connection with
the Religious Tract Socletys 109th ami
versary. The bishop viewed with salts
faction the many Bibles and prayer books
Of the society bound IN bright red cloth,
instead OF the hitherto invariable black,
a color which is mostly associated with
what is melancholy. Bishop Tugwell
would no doubt appreciate the brighter
and more attractive colors for his heath
en- converts more especially. One Is re-
minded IN this connection OF the now al
most extinct black gown, 20 which OBJ
lection has been taken for the same rea-
son, the donning Of which by the par
son before delivering his sermon savOred
so much of the judges putting on the

Woman SUFFRAGE suresdIns

Canada is the latest OF our nelghbors
10 feel the movement Of unrest among
the fair sex, and there are not wanting
indications that our Canadian sisters may
strive as unbecomingly and unbeautifully
as did our English cousins for what they
call their rights. Heaven help them!
Announcement is made that a woman
has come forward as a candidate for
seat in the provincial legislature Of On
tario. There seems to be no indication
that she hopes 10 be successful in the
contest. But the mere announcement Is
interesting as showing how this leaven
Of woman suffrage IS spreading.
II other signs were wanting. there IS
the formation Of a woman's suffrage club
at Ottawa. and the members OF this or
ganization announce that they intend 10
keep on agitating and talking and preach

have one advocate already on the floor
OF the House Of Parliament, sort Of
lukewarm advocate. evidently. for diplo-
matically he says that II there we're not

The Canadian girls who want to vote

the premier, who thinks that the wife OF
the house has, or should have, sufficient
influence over her lord and master TO in
duce him TO vote for the right man at
election time. This is adroitly twisted
about by the suffragettes so that they
argue that II they know enough about
the right man to vote for TO influence
their husbands, they ought 70 know
enough to vote for the right man them
selves.
They are subtle. these women! And

AS every one knows. the manufacture
Of a mint julep is even more difficult
than the cultivation Of the mint. The nrt.
indeed, seems 70 require a certain natural
aptitude or genius. without which the
most laborious study goes for naught
There are cases on record OF men who
have spent years in practice and expert
ment and then given up in despair. Not
a few, overwhelmed by modification and
disappointment. have attempted self.de-
struction. Even the ingestion, or drink
ing, Of a mint julep cannot be properly
achieved without thought and training
The novice pours the ethereal juices into
his system In a hasty and vulgar manner
and so loses nearly all Of the flavor. He
grows intoxicated and dsorderly. and

The Organ Protests.

From the Indianapolis News
The feeling is that power is being
usurped that belongs 10 the people, that
a great party machine is being built up
under the direct control Of the White
House, which may threaten the very in
tegrity OF our institutions, as we have
known them and loved them; that we are
having thrust upon us a candidate not OF
our own choice. but that has been chosen
for US. through the INSCRIPTIONS use of
Federal authority and Federal office
holders. working in conjunction with the
powerful moneyed interests of the coun-
try. DOGS this not look like sowing the
wind? Have the men that have brought
about this situation no apprehension of
the harvest that may be reaped? For the
end Is not here when the nomination Is
made and the machine is established
There are long months that both these
must be defended and justified. In No

Suggestion of COrtelyOu Worse Than

From the Philadelphia Public Ledser
The suggestion of Mr. Cortelyou for
Vice President is worse thar inadequate
II is not conceivable that the sdministra-
tion would commit the blunder OF urging
his nomination. Mr.. Cortelyou has
shown himself a man Of commendable
capacity. industry, and tact in various
administrative positions. Considering the

him with Wall street." and make his
nomination an excuse for opposing Taft
While II Is important that the convention
should not truckle 10 this unreasoning
sentiment, It is equally important that II
should not oppose it feebly. This is not
an occasion for small arms, but for guns
OF the largest caliber.
The Washington herald., 1908-06-12

II has always seemed rather a utopian
dream that some day we should reach
that point Of civilization and morals
where war between the various factions
Of the human family shall become an
impossibility. How the dream is to come
true no one has been bold enough TO
predict. There are some who deem that
II may come through a better under
standing OF each other, while others be-
lieve that war will only cease when each
nation is so heavily armed and has such
gigantic power OF destruction that war
will be too horrible 10 contemplate.
It is noteworthy that most OF those
who talk peace, and hope for universal
peace and goodwill. are of what might
be termed the laity-the men in the
street who have nothing to do with the
business OF diplomacy. When. therefore.
diplomat Of the highest class chooses
10 give his views on the matter they are
entitled to more than ordinary consider
alton. and It cannot fail to be regarded
as Of significant interest that such a
man believes that war is coming to be
improbable
The man in question is Baron Won Hol-
stein. former director OF the division Of
foreign politics for the German govern
me3t. and in a recent statement he de-
clares that the present peace OF the world
has, In his opinion, an excellent chance
for continuance. not because Of the ex-
pans!on Of navies or the fitness OF armies,
but because Of the complications that
would ensue. He says:
The inner workings and social politics, not only
Of Europe, but Of the civilized world. are so com
plicated and 50 many influences and counterinfu-
