 It is true that man might be nomi-

 man and platform not agreeable to him, but that is not a bar against accepting the ofice.
 On the whole, we do not sec why good man should object to taking
 second place on the Presidential ticket nor can we see any good reason why one should not let 1t be known that
 he is willing to accept nomination
 and really desires 1t. Such declara-
 tion would add interest to the pre-

Increasing Expenditures in Face of

 Indianapolis News.
 Probably ours is the only govern ment in the world. certainly the only civilized government. that would de- suggestion from any responsible source face of an obviously declining rev. enue We have spent s66,000.000 more this year than last. And there is no liberately increast expenditures in the that we ought to economize in any direction. On the contrary, there was an insistent demand from the President that we spent s40,00o.00O at the very least for four great battle ships, an amount, almost one-third as large as our present total naval ex- penditures, even on the present in- Hated basis. Of course, 1t IS true that, under our present system, no one knows. or can know. much of what Is going on. In a recent utterance MT. Cortelyou, Secretary of the Treasury. expressed regret that the law com pelled him to make estimates, which. he said, "are, for the most part, proole- matical." How problematical they were in this case will be clear, when we remember that Mir. Coutelyou figured that there would be a surplus for this year the year ending with June. of s42,0oO 0OG As we now see. the deficit is likely to oe considerably in excess of sso.000.0oo As most of our revenue is derived from taxes on consumption, and as consumption oe- pends on the condition of business. It is manifest that any estimates or the Secretary of the Treasury must pc largely problematical." No private business that was conducted in accord ance with such principles could hope to avofd bankruptcy.

One of the latest devices we have seen mentioned for getting around the paper trust is that publishers shall save all copies of their paper they can command and have them manufactured over As it is pointed out that paper which has been printed on cannot be bleached white it is proposed that the new paper be colored black and the printing done with white ink. That would be reversing the order of things with a vengeance. We hear much about yellow journals but have yet to see black one-and do not expect to do so. The suggestion is evidently intended as one expedient for cheap ening the price of print paper, and will hardly go further than the sug- gestive stage.

HIsroRIcALLr INACCURATE.

Is there any limit to Rooseveltiar 1ooseness of speech. not to call 1t by a harsher name? Tn a recent speech he said in effect: T make 1t point to be historically accurate in my Statements" Now, we might confront him with a number of case where he has been about as historically inaccu- rate as a man can well be. but 1t is useless to refer to them for they have become well known to all who read. Tn the same speech. however. in which he made the assertion we have quoted, Nhe declared that MT. Root "is the greatest Secretary of State the coun- try has ever had"
 Now 1t is useless to mention any of the men who have held this posi- ton in recent years: men like Evarts and Blaine and Bayard and Olney and others. We say 1t is useless. because Mir. Roosevelt is not willing to admit that any statesman of modern times can be put in the same class with him. self and his chosen coadjutors. but if we go back to the earlier and better days of the Republic we will find names in the light of whose real greatness Mir. Root will pale into small prominence. We will find the names of Thomas Jefferson, James Ma dison John Marshall. James Monroe. Henry Clay, John c. Calhoun. Daniel Web ster--but the list is too long. We have mentioned names enough for the reader to contemplate. Can any man who is not eaten up with vanity. and who wants to be historically accu- rate" assert that Elihu Root is a greater man or a greater Secretary of State than any of those thus specified not to mention others who held that position. and who were always con sidered great statesmen until Roose- welt came forward to cry them dowr and place on their heads the crown ot littleness and inferiority.

DEPENDING ROOSEVELT.

temporary we copy the tolioWins Ironi The Richmond-N News Leader:
 The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser rises to remark that The Richmond News Leader, for reasons we do not know. is ono of the few Roosevelt oe- lenders outside his own party. IT our esteemed and usually astute and logl- cal contemporary had read further, 1t would have saved itself from mak- ing a very bad break reflecting on It's capacity for reasoning. The News Leaders reasons for "defending MT. Roosevelt enunciates cardinal Demo . cratic doctrine and seeks to carry out policies involving the greatest good to the greatest number, and Is att tackled and opposed by Democratic papers for opposition sake alone, it IS merely a matter of duty and principle defend him. If 1t did not perform that duty it could not be, as 1t aspires to be, a Democratic newspaper and an exponent of Democracy in the true and comprehensive sense Of the terms. In defending MT. Roosevelt for having on occasions risen superior to his own party--to partisanry---and proved himself more Democrat than a Republican, we have nothing to apologize for either to Democracy or our political conscience.
 'cPiato. thou reasonesti weli," from thine own point of view. but we have no reason to adopt the same. When MT. Roosevelt 'emanates cardinal Democratic doctrine" he does so either because he hopes for some personal or political advantage from it or pe- cause 1t suits him to graze at times on Democratic pastures. We have so little confidence in his sincerity that we never feel a disposition to praise him for anything he says or does. but leave that for those who are more easily satisfied.

What we need" said Admiral Ev- ans. '1s more battleships and fewer statesmen" If these were not his ex- act words they are not far from 1t, and to this statement The Pittsburg Sun retorts: When he have more real statesmen the need for battleships will disappear" The Sun evidently means that if we had real statesmen in- stead of jingoes we wouldn't have any need of a big navy. and perhaps it is correct.

For example, 1t mas been understood that a Fundamental principle of our government is that the military arm is strictly subject 10 the civil power, and on that assump- tion there is a considerable doubt as to how far the right of the president goes. and no doubt that congress has rights of it's own.

 It is strange that our statesmen cannot see the perils of militarism now confronting the country, and in- stead of increasing such expenditures. devise plans to reduce the terrible bur den The time must come and come soon. when heavier taxes will afford the only escape from financial diff faculties unless our military extrava- gance Is curtailed.
 The people are in no frame of mind to suffer an increase of taxes. and the party that inflicts 1t will hear from the country in no uncertain tones. Such increase as extgencies may ultt- mately force will have to be derived from internal levies, and the directness of internal taxation will evoke great d.scontent among the people.
 In the meantime, our commerce must suffer as result of the neglect or use to expand our fighting ability if we are to permit our business and in dustry the sources of the national prosperity. to dry up.
