welt could have had the presidency for
another term if he had wanted it. Only
his own refusal prevented his renomi-
nation by reclamation and his re-elec-
ton by great majority--in which
case, while there might, at this time,
be considerable exercise of pedal
extremities, it would certainly not be
the opponents of Roosevelt who would
do the kicking.
Embarking for the wilds of Africa,
he may be a violent and utterly dis
credited politician, a ruthless charla-
tan who imperiled the palladium of
our liberties, and whom the people-a at
least all the people that the senator or
editor can see at the moment-unani-
mously repudiate. But if he himself
had said the word, decided majority
of the people would have enthusiast

eagerly renewed bis power to assault
the palladium for another four years.
With popular vote of seven odd mil

sit is time for the country to sober
down and think out the hard problems
before it. They are serious enough
to call for it's best and most earnest
effort. They are vital enough to
engage the most generous patriotism.
The nations of the world are now,
commercially speaking, in closer
touch with one another than were the
cities of this nation at the close of the
Civil war. This country has become
the most prosperous in the world by
cooperation of all its people and all
its forces in our national development.
Constructive statesmen must re-
establish and confirm disturbed rela-
tions between the activities engaged in
the production and exchange of
wealth, and in the elevation of the
national character as we'll. A hearty
union of all interests, a broad and
genuine understanding, and a more
cautious, honest and tolerant attitude
in all our public acts, will most eff
fectually promote success in industry
and sanity and permanence in the
nation. '-J ames J. Bill.
At banquet given recently in his

offered bride of history: and not to an
individual, but to state; not secretly,
but openly, boldly. What is ANITA
gonistic'. railway legislation, in the
estimation of any railway magnate?
Anything that prevents the railways
doing their sweet will with the people.
Where did Mr.. Harriman's $4,000, 900
come from? The people. And now
the peoples money is to be used to
bride a peoples one state to suffer
practices through which the people
will furnish the money to pay back
the bribe, maybe several times over.
A neat game, isn't it?''
When resolution was offered in
the senate Thursday memorial ling

the Philippines, Senator Clague voted
to lay it on the table. Senate,
i Clague's partisanship is almost a:
blind as McCleary's, but then he says
he doesn't intend to stand for re-elec
ton, so what's the difference.
