RoOsEyELT's GOOD SENSE.

The president is strong controver-
sialist. The Brownson case and many
preceding it are in evidence as to this
The secret of his strength is in the fact
that the president is usually right and
that he always means to be right. He
is endeavoring to do the best for the
country. If the shins of official dig
nifty and individual interest are barked
occasionally, those accidents are made
unavoidable by the thrusting out into
the way of the shins REFEREED to. Lit
tie concealment goes with this admin
istration Roosevelt has a delight
fur way of going direct to the people
and trying his cases outdoors
This Brownson case is a sample. The
president believes that on a hospital
ship men trained to the primary pur-
poses of hospitals should be in COM
mand. Brownson thinks not. He pro-
poses to put the surgeons, whose pur-
pose is to heal wounds, under the COM
mand of those trained to .inf1ict.
Brownson resigns. The country being
appealed to, comedies with the presi-
dent
IL is only common horse sense. In
the army the medical department is
supreme in its hospitals. This is true
of nearly all the armies of all the ma
tions. In the great navies of the
world the hospital ships are under
charge of the medical corps. The
president was right and Brownson
simply got in the way of real re-
form and was run over.
Brownsons resignation is merely In
cidental. 1t is question whether or
not it was not impudent and an act
to be reprimanded and punished.

Conspiracy Eggs for Cubs.

(From the New York Tribune.)
We have heard of late Of an organ
lied attempt, financed by persons not
altogether uninterested in the sugar
business, to foment grave disorders in
Cuba. 1t is said to have been pro-
yisional government Of Cuba is pre-
pairing for the holding Of municipal
and provincial elections, preliminary
to the national elections, and to have
for it's intent the precipitation of a
chaotic state of affairs which Will
make it necessary to postpone in
definitely the holding Of the elections
and to retain indefinitely the Amer
lean troops and the provisional gov
eminent.
knowledge of some such conspir-
acies in the past makes this tale Of
present plotting seem plausible.
Knowledge of existing conditions in
Cuba and of the disposition of the
Cuban provisional government makes
such a venture seem what insurance
people would call an extra hazardous
risk There is reason to believe that
Governor Magoon is quite tired Of hav-
ing feather brained fools or malicious
criminals playing at revolutions and
chicken stealing, and that he Is dis
posed to deal with any such gentry in
a way calculated to wound deeply
their patriotic 'susceptibilities and to
deprive society of their presence for a
protracted period. A benevolent de-
sire not to see fellow mortals suffer
moves us to suggest that this is an
uncommonly good time for mischief
makers to steer clear of Cuba.

Defending Mr.. Cannon.


The Hon. William S. Greene. repre-
sentative in congress Of the Thirteenth
Massachusetts district. becomes the
devils advocate against one OF the
liveliest OF American statesmen:
only two things now stand in the
way of Joseph Cannons triumphant
nomination and election-his age and
his profanity The former cannot be
helped, while the latter should not
really count against him. because 1t is
not real irreverence, but merely a
habit of speech"
Doubtless this is Puritan way OF
backing ones friends. What do these
objections of the DEVILS advocate
amount to? The argument from age
has not leg to stand on Mr.. Cannon
is In the pink of physical and intellec-
tual condition. There are plenty Of
familiar instances of men of equal
or greater age who have headed minis
teries or ruled nations or played COM
handing parts in politics and govern
merit.
AS to Mr.. Cannon's fulminations of
speech, it Is convention and form
ula to set off his private remarks with
language left over from the army in
Flanders We are not to suppose on
that account that Uncle Joe varies the
curse Of Sernulphus with the pleasan-
tries OF Squire Western. He has
homely, vigorous. idiomatic speech. 1t
seems appropriate to him. Even
Washington, no longer the faultless
monster, was allowed to lace his Lam
guage, at pinch, with sulphurous
and tormenting flames.

YOU represented an issue meritorious.
important, and one in which all men
are Interested? Which is nearest to
the whole people and most likely to
express the wish of the entirety OF

There is no national primary. 1t
comes to the convention system at
last When the next republican con-
yention meets to express the will of
the party, the delegates we send must
say our say. Are men who fought the
primary for a purpose, and held to
the old caucus system as the last an

defeat in primaries?

cies Of the great men in whose shadow
they conceal purposes utterly at vari-
ance with their words. Deathbed re-
pentances and deft political turning

A Political rophecy.
(Leslie's Weekly


The rise of prohibition as a power
full political force menaces Bryan i'll
two directions. Governor Haskell, of
Oklahoma, as champion of prohibit
ton and the head of a prohibition state
will be likely to command the support
of that element in the democratic ma
tional convention. And Haskell will
have an attraction for many democrats
from the fact that, unlike Bryan, he is
a man who has won something, for the
governorship canvass in Oklahoma, in
which Haskell defeated Frantz, the
strongest republican in that locality.
was watched with interest by the whole
country. Haskell is a southern man,
and thus would be favored by that
powerful element in the south which
has opposed Bryan all along. and which
has been urging that the south should
put up one of it's own sons.
If, on the other hand. Bryan should
be nominated, the prohibitionists
would have strong incentive to
name Haskell or some other popular
man who has been conspicuously
identified with their cause. and thus
make an exceedingly active canvass in
the south, in which they have been
scoring their biggest conquests re-

JUDGE BRENNAM's CURE.

a cure for the disease
But the Judges specific, like the can

fact, it is an aggravation of the dis

legal privilege to enjoy their society.
Most old fools who become infatuated

What the Des Moines Judge is doing is

granted a divorce in such cases, and
the guilty husband be debarred from

WHO FEAR THE PRIMARY.

One of the most potent forces at
work in Ohio against Foraker is the
vain attempt by himself and his friends
to prevent an expression of the re-
publican voters upon his candidacy
and that of Taft. Foraker and his
friends insist ON the caucus. Taft and
his demand a wideopen republican
primary vote, a square deal and a
showdown The different attitudes of
the two men toward the voters are
having a great effect. The question
naturally arises why do Foraker sup
porters insist on the caucus system
1t is being answered as the same ques-
ton is being answered everywhere.
The question is pertinent in Iowa

Republicans Keep Sane.

Whatever the bosses, bosslets, wire
pullers and underground workers may
be doing, there are only two candi-
dates in the field who have succeeded
in appealing to the imagination Of the
republican masses. One Of them is the
secretary Of war, the other is the gov
ernor of New York. These two alone
have ardent support outside their home
states-Taft thruout the west and
Hughes turnout New England. No
higher tribute could be paid to the
sanity of republican sentiment than the
fact that the rank and file of the party
should be turning to men like these.

WHEN THEY FALL OUT.

(Des Moines Tribune-Standpat)
An added feature of interest was
given the political scrap today, when
it was quietly given out that the Alli-
SON Cummins senatorial contest may
be injected into It. 1t is matter Of
history that the Berryhill- Cassidy
Miller combination have no affection
for Governor Cummins. These gen.
tlemen and others associated with
them persistently opposed passage Of
the bill requiring the state treasurer
to let out the state funds to the insti-
buttons tina would bid the highest rate
of interest Beaten in their fight
against the bill in the senate and the
house. Miller Casady -Berryhill called
upon the governor after the bill had
passed both houses and asked him to
veto it, He refused and signed 1T.
Since that memorable day, three years
ago, these gentlemen have had long
political knife up their sleeves for the
governor.

HAS LANDS AND MONEY.
Cedar Rapids Gazette)


In southwestern Iowa there has just
died a man who was one of the
wealthiest land owners in the west.
He died possessed of $500 acres of as
fine land as the sun ever shone upon.
1t was said of him that his one con-
Stunning passion was the accumulation
Of land and money. He talked nothing
but money and land, and it is pre-
sumed he dreamed of nothing else. He
does not seem to have gotten any real
pleasure out of life. And now his land
and his money are of no use to him.
1t is simply left for others to squab-
BILE over and possibly squander What
happens to his fortune will be worth
following simply for the purpose Of
noting how nearly will be verified
again the statement that the love Of
money is the root Of all evil.
