 So far as we are informed, there is no reason to doubt that Roosevelt made the remarks attributed to him. If he finds that they are unpopular, or likely to be unfavorably received, he will deny them. of course, but his denial should have no effect on the public. He has an unfortunate and confirmed habit of denying anything he doesn't wish to abide by. and of giving the lie to those who have reported him. and he may do so in this instance when he finds what an unfavorable construction will be placed on his talk
 For a President with five or six months of his term yet unexpired to say that his only object and desire as President is to elect his successor is about the limit of impropriety and of disregard for the duties of his ofiice If he means that he will resign as soon as Taft is elected, he should say so in plain words. If he would resign right away and devote all his time to working for Taft, 1t would not be a bad thing. but at any rate he should talk with some regard to his position while he holds it. But. perhaps that would be expecting too much of Roose- welt.

sues inextrfcabfy bear upon each other. and when party gains s2 per cent In four years in vote almost commen- surate with the total possible of being cast that significant victory has been won. But we did not grow exuberant and transfer Maine at once to the Dem- ocratic column on Monday night upon reading the returns. We preferred to await more definite figures on the Con- gressionai pluralities. These confirm the view of the interplay of issues. The Republicans have elected their four candidates. but the pluralities show large reductions. Here is the solid and sensible Democratic basis of rejoicing. Republicans affect pleasure because the scare will remove apathy. We'll, we have never expected there would be apathy. There was no apathy in Maine, for about everybody voted. scares are often premonitions, symp- toms. omens. Mir. Bryan is wining."

MR oLNEY,s LETTER.

The Democratic Party's case in this campaign has never been expressed more clearly than by former Secretary olney In the singularly able letter to The World, printed last Friday morn ing:
 It Is true that the Democratic party of today Is made up of groups with diverse views and aims on, various more or less important topics. Yet taken as a whole, 1t is the best organ ized protest there is against Repuoli- can iI1isrule-against the excesses Of all sorts brought on by the long Re publican revel in unlimited power against excesses in expenditures, Tn taxation in territorial expansion, Tn the creation and maintenance Of mill tary armaments. in the enlargement or the sphere of governmental action, in the concentration of power in the Gen eral Government to the enteeDlement of the State governments.
 Whoever believes in the prevailing policies and tendencies of the hepub- iican party will of course, act with that party in the pending Presidential contest. But whoever believes those policies and tendencies to be vicious and injurious can record his belief and make it effective in no other way than by acting with the Democratic party.

hope for acceptance. Thus 1t deceives. and tries to make us think that no sin which is the sin of sinsi In all these ways It contrtwes first. to mis- lead, to paiiiate and procrastinate, and then to harden the heart and kill it.
 Beware of unbeIief and it's deceit- fulness! That which leads us away from God must harden; that which denies the love of God must hardon; that which separates the word and promise of God must harden.
 If you would preserve a soft and sensitive heart; if you would receive the promise have faith in God and pray Him to keep far from you the evil heart of unbelief."

"Is electing a successor part of the job of a President?' innocently asks The Pittsburg Post We'll. that de- pends. The present occupant of the high office seems to think anything is part of his job, and he never hesitates to butt in. without the slightest re- gard for fairness or propriety. As he had Taft nominated. he doubtless con- siders it his duty to elect him. and the dignity which should attach to the of- flee he holds will not be considered or regarded if 1t stands in his way.

Thomas A. Edison Is wonderful as an inventor, but he certainly has some cranky notions. In a published article he declares that sleep is only a habit" and that there Is nothing to prove that we really need it." How Is that for ab- surdity? With just as much truth fulness he might say that there's noth- ing to show that we need food. There's no sense in his contention, as he ought to know.

SNATFEST

FOUR HOME RUNS MADE
Special to Morning News.

McKeesport, Pa, May 1S-Although
Canton did some heavy hitting today,
defeat was inevitable through the
slugging of Miller, of the McKeesport
team, who drove out two home runs
and a three base hit, and the lightning
fielding of the McKeespOrt aggrega-
tion. Three double plays, in each of
which the heavy hitting Miller had a
hand. headed off scoring chances for
the Canton bunch.
The stark county men started off
like winners, getting two runs in the
first while they held NCKeespOrt run
less. Then, after MCKeespOrt had an
nexed Cne in the second, Canton came
back with three in the third, enough
to leave them in the lead even against
McKeesp ports three in the third. Each
got one in the fifth, but McKeesport
tackled on two each in the seventh
and eighth, Canton being able to get
only two in the final inning. RaridOn

TOO MANY CAST OFFS

The Wheeling and GAINESVILLE teams
are holding the cellar positions in the
Central league. And it appears as
though both Of these teams will have
to be strengthened considerably be-
fore they will be able to be competi-
tors for first division honors in that
league. To the credit of the Zanes-
vile people it must be stated that
no expense has been spared by the
management to get new material to
be able 10 make respectable show
ing. The main trouble, however, with
the team in that city is that Il con-
tains q lot Of cast offs who have seen
their best days on the diamond and
are not able to display playing
strength equal to that of the younger
men in the profession. These mem
bcrs of the sG-caIled "old guard" are
the cause in many instances of dis
rupting the organization they are
of this kind is Dick Cooley, who
has played in about every team in the
Central league, and in every case
was fired on account of his disorgan-
izing tactics This was the reason
that he was let go by the Canton
management and his going had a very
salutary effect on the balance of the
team If the GAINESVILLE people ever
expect to have harmonious baseball
they had better get rid of Cooley at
their earliest opportunity.
In Wheeling the fans are up in
arms against the management OF Ted
Price. Simply because the team has
been making a very poor showing.
Price, however, is one of the best
minor league managers in the COun-
try, an educated man and a gentle
man on and off the ball field. There
is some talk of his release, He will
be quickly gobbled up however, as
his talents are well known by nearly
all the club owners in the country,
Wheeling, like GAINESVILLE, needs new
material and lots of it before they
can expect to be factors in the race
for the pennant.
Bade Myers got a good start at
Dayton, but the different sport writ
ers throughout the league seem to be
of the opinion that the team he has
gotten together is hardly of pennant
winning calibre and the predictions
are freely made that unless his infield
is strengthened considerably that Day
ton will be fighting for toboggan hon
ors before July 4.
