r-r-uERE is no room for doubt that
President Roosevelt means what
be saws in mis- last statement and never
hos held any other determination
slnce his primary one. Those who are
stropuously insistent to the contrary
are doing him no honor and are such
friends as those from whom one might
well pray for deliverance.
-Four or eight years from now Presi-
dent Roosevelt, bound by no pledge
ana m violation OF no unwritten law,
doubtless will be ready to periodically
respond to any call for public duty,
I'm the meantime rest and travel. his
fayorite sports and the production or
such enduring literature as he is ca
pable, may be his choice.
Pennsylvania has a right to demand
the nomination Of Senator Knox. than
whom no higher type of statesman has
risen above the political horizon OF
Pennsylvania in so years.
GENERAL JAMES r. McCLEARY.
ONE of the great enterprises Initial

which his name will forever be assoc

that an honorable and congenal work
for Mr.. Roosevelt would be that of d.
recting in the completion of the Pana-
ma canal.
