ROOSEVELT SCHeTCHED 1T.

When President Roosevelt wisely re-
fused to entertain a third term move
ment under the thin disguise of a
second elective term, he gave the en-
tire business another black eye. He
did a great deal for himself and he did
even more for his country, which
sadly needs a maintenance of the un-
written custom which limits a Presi-
dent to two terms. Washington, jack
son and Roosevelt refused to seek
third terms, and Grant sought a third
term in vain. These examples fully
establish the custom, and the proba-
bility Of Its i~nfraction will beooms less
az the year. GO on.
This law il not written in the con-
stitution or statutes, but 1t is deeply
written in the hearts of the American
speople, and the man OF ambition wins
attempts to ride over it hereafter will
certainly encounter stormy politics.
Mr.. Roosevelt's personal popularity is
unquestionable, and he could perhaps
have secured a denomination. His
place in history will be all the stronger
because he has chosen to stand by the
traditions of the republic by giving up
all efforts to retain power after the
manner of Presidents in tina Latin re-
>publics. No matter how spectacular
and dramatic he may be he will GER
-tainly accommodation on all hands
for his act of remuneration within his
own party. He acted wisely for his
reputation and for the good of the
republic.

PROSPERITY hiking.

Chief Statistician Clerk of the Agri-
cultural department considers a fine
harvest practically assured, and he
estimates the value of the crop of 1908
at $8, OeO, oOo, 900.
This is eight times h national in
tsrest- bearing debt. 1t nearly equals
the entire bonded indebtedness of all
the railroads OF the country. It is
mere than the assessed values OF New
York, Chicago, New Orleans, st. Louis,
Seattle and Sal Francisco combined.

would take nearly six months for the
procession to Passa reviewing stand.
A bin built the size Of a city block, 600
feet by 200, would need to be more
than six miles high to hold this wheat

crops and the stupendous annual egg
yield Of the American hen are in buIk
and value equally amazing"
The crops are large enough to drive
out pessimism and 10 bring back a con-
frmsd belief in the country's sound
ness and broad basis of prosperity. and
that is best of all. These crops will
sosn be ready for the harvester and
the transporter and then orders to the
merchant and manufacturer will begin
to flow in. That means q return OF
good times and business activity.

PIVOTAL STATES THIS YEAR.

New York is chronieally pivotal.
Since 1877 New York a had either the
presidency or vice presidency except
during the first Mckinley term. This
has been granted to the big state be-
cause her heavy vote has been regard
ed by politicians as pivotal. James
s. Sherman was nominated for a like
ly reason, and no other.
Now York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut would indeed be doubtful
states this year if Hearstism' could be
eliminated or reduced to a minimum.
What it will attempt to do or will be
able to do in a year full OF stern reali-
ties remains to be seen.
Mr.. Roosevelt says the doubtful
states are Indiana, Utah, Colorado,
Montana, Nevada, North Dakota South
Dakota, Nebraska and Rhode Island.
No doubt there is a lea of political
unrest in these states, but all told they
cast but 40 electoral votes. They are
not popeIus enough to be pivotal.
The Middle West is the real battle
A4O G0COo VI oh4OS Eh&
Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska,
Michigan and the Dakotas are full OF
voters this year who do not care much
about party lines or party influences.
They are literally tiled ~loose,'' and
they will decide the campaign now
pending. They will elect the next
President. The nomination of James
IS. Sherman does not please them. and
there were sins of omission and com
mission in the platform that will keeI
some Of them from lining up behind
the Republican nominees. MI. Bryan
will find his chief battle-ground ne
doubt in the Middle West. He wa.
born and bred in it, and he knows 4
better than any politician does.
