ROOSEVELT RETIRED.

In political, official sense. Theodore
Roosevelt is no more. His successor is
w. H. Taft. The two men represent
extremes. Roosevelt's term of Office has
been marked with an extraordinary and
an exceptional demonstration of self
will, stubborn, dominant. persistent. an
tagonistic personality.
He has been frequently compared
to the bull in the china shop" and yet
with tempestuous radicalism. his smash
ing of preccdents, his leaping over rules,
his defiance of the leaders of his party
have won for him the admiration of a
large percentage of the American people
who will applaud boldness. even the cx-
trenc of audacity.
It will not be denied that towards the
close Of Roosevelt's administration there
had been aroused throughout the Nation
= feeling of unrest resulting from too
much Rooseveltism. Having had and
experienced the fullest measure of
"strenuousness' the people will appre-
ciate more conservative and concilia-
tory administration which is promised
through Mr.. Taft, who, while not de-
parting from his obligations to his party.
promises to maintain policy that will

GOVERNOR SANDERS FOR A
SECOND TERM,

In commenting on the proposed sec
ond term for Governor Sanders by an
amendment to the State Constitution the
Times s-Democrat says:
The proposition is an insult to the
Louisiana Constitutional Convention.
which made the Governor ineligible to
succeed himself. and to the Democratic
voters of the State who have unani-
,nously approved that clause. The cleo
ton of 1906 had nearly plunged Louis
lana into disputed election and civil
war and at the unanimous desire of the
people of the State section was framed
to prevent the executive from utilizing
the extraordinary and autocratic power
he possessed to re-elect himself. We
have had occasion since then to appre-
ciate the wisdom of this provision.
Without it the people would never have
been able to wrest from the executive
the unlimited patronage and the auto
cratic power he possessed. the like of
which does not exist i'll any State of this
Union
1T is urged that because of the
restoration to the people of the choice
of some of their officials formerly named
by the Governor, the need for the guber
material prohibition no longer exists. No
one will be deceived by statement so
far from the facts as this. Governor San
ders' administration has been reaction
ary in the matter of Offices and of
gubernatorial authority and autocracy.
The Legislature has created new offices
and it has shown no disposition to limit
further the powers of the Governor. still
infinitely greater than in any other State.
It has been impossible to upset some of
the victories won by the people. but on
the other hand new Offices have been
created, and the executive has used his
great powers enrgetically and autocrati
cally, compelling the most complete obe
dience on the part of every official FOR
board appointed by him. To renomi
nate Sanders for Governor in 1910. and
thus give him assurance of control for
six years ahead, would be to endow him
with all the power, to wipe from the
statute book every law reducing this att
thority, and would build up an organi-
zation which the people could never get
rid of. The voters of Louisiana have
been often deceived, have been led into
many mistakes, but that they would
after the last twelve years experience,
vote to absolutely surrender their con-
troll of affairs, which they have won after
SO arduous a struggle, is inconceivable.
The proposition to smash the Constit,l-
tion and surrender democracy in order
to keep Sanders in the governorship
eight years, to save the politicians the
discomforts of choosing between him
and Foster for the senatorslip. is prob
ably the most extraordinary and auda-
cious ever offered outside of Central
America"
