when be tackles the task Of confronting
the Roosevelt of popular imagination
with the real Roosevelt he will have
fortified himself With q mass OF material
that will cover every questionable phase
OF the.presidents career from bis college
days up to dste.
The fiery South OsrolinisD, spurred
90 By burning sense of the outrsges he
believes be bis endured as 8 result oi the
presidents malice, was already busy to-
day getting together the material for the
second assault on the presidents record
which he promised to make In conclud-
ing his speecbsof yesterday.

of RoosevelPs early life, his ranch ex'
periences In th9 vest, his legislative

commissioner and assistant secretary Of
the navy here, bis exploits in the Span

of New York, as vice presidential can.

can countries. For many years the
general public and too many men in
official life we're disposed to look upon
the Sounth American countries as
mere breeding places for revolutions,
more or less comic in aspect, and but
little honest effort has been made to
encourage trade intercourse with
them. II has developed recently that
practically every nation in South
America is making marked CONNER
cial and industrial progress and that
Europe is getting too much of the ben
eft of the development.
We are gradually learning that the
South American does not prefer fight
ing to working, but is as anxious for
the improvement of his country as we
are of ours. With the opening of the
Panama canal and with better trans
%portation facilities in Central America,
a continent of rich is to be
developed, and the United States
should have it's share, the lions share,
in the trade growing out of it.

What Was Promised.

Every democratic member OF the legisla-
ture knows just what kind OF guaranty
law was promised in the last campaign.
II is up to the Lawmakers now to do that
which was promised and stop hlggling and
haggllng over the fringe, so to speak
Crete Democrat.
A democratic legislator who knows
Just what is promised" in the last
campaign must possess powers OF ON
niscience. Every democratic candi-
date, orator and organ made so many
promises, and so many different prom
Uses, that there is no possibility of
reconciling them.
Even by combining the term to what
was embodied in platform pledges will
not furnish the solution because the
candidates made their campaign on
two or mor platforms with distinctly
conflicting declarations on many sub
jects. The democratic platform in Ne
braska promised legislation in general
terms to make more secure the depos-
its in banks, while the populist plat
form declared expressly for a dupli-
cate of the Oklahoma guaranty law.
The democratic platform held out the
glittering allurement of home rule,
while the populist platform in une-
%quivocal terms promised a county op-
ton law. Which of these promises
are to be kept without "higgling and
haggling over the ~fringe?"
In his address to the Nebraska law
makers, Mr.: Bryan Insisted that he
would vote for any measure promised
in a platform on which he went be-
fore the people whether he personally
believed in il or not. Mr.. Bryan has
not always been so scrupulous about
his promises. He ran for congress and
was elected in 1892 on the national
democratic platform, which, among
other pledges, promised to repeal the
Sherman silver purchase law, and also
Ito repeal the 10 per cent tax on state
bank issues. Mr.. Bryan not only did
nothing to carry out this pledge to re-
peal the Sherman act, But was active
in endeavoring to prevent its repeal.
The promise to repeal the 10 per cent
tax on state bank notes was a sop to
the states rights people of the south,
never intended to be delivered. and, at
any rate. Mr.. Bryan made no effort to
carry out the pledge. The difficulty
now, as then, with organs platform
promises is to tell which were made
in real earnest and which were put
forth solely as political buncombe to
catch votes.

MIR. TAFT AND THE LAWYERS.
Task of Cutting Out Technical Fungi
from Judicial Processes.

dloo III Nv
No severer or more constructive critic of
the law and lawyers has arisen in this
country thar Mr.. Taft. His regard for
awyers is for some lawyers. And proba-
bly, II is Just because he has so high an
opinion of what lawyers can do for politi-
cal and judicial conditions that he so
earnestly advocates a reversal OF much
that they do and the methods by which
they do it. Mr.. Taft. in other words. is
seeking to make practical fact out Of
the theory that lawyers and legal admin
i~stration should be valuable to the coun-
try.
For. of course, 1t is a logical assump-
ton, on paper. that the body of men who
are learned in the law, and consequently
in the political structure OF the govern
ment, should be more capable OF con-
structive legislation and Interpretation and
administration of the processes OF public
life than. say, an equal body of bricklay-
ers or tInsmiths or ankers That is the
theory But equally. Of course. It cannot
work out In practice when lawyers. In
private and public place, lend their in
fuence to the p~erpetuation OF precedent
just because il is precedent, and labor fol-

Logic of Race Riots.
Chicago Record Herald.

ShACoeO
The race riot at South Omaha was
worked up by orators who addressed a
mass meeting held Sunday. With a fine
patriotism the orators disseminated be-
tween Greeks and Americans, the assump-
ton being that all the members of the
mob at the mass meeting were Americans.
Apparently, however, the Americanism OF
some of these speakers is of recent origin,
and 1t is a fair inference that among the
crowd of rioters were many persons who
have not perfected title yet. But all felt the
proper thrill when the eloquence was
poured forth. They were not Greeks, any
way, which was the equivalent of being
Americans or barbarians, as the Greeks
might say. The fact that they were diff
ferent from the Greeks was enough to
make a common bond for that particular
brotherhood, especially when 1t became
clear that the Greeks were to be attacked
and pillaged and that the assailants might
enjoy the strength that comes from union.
1t is regrettable that when such a broad
fraternal feeling was at work there should
have been any cause for confusion, but we
are told that "the members of the mot as
saulted many Italians and Roumanians
who were mistaken for Greeks Apollo
Ries are due the Italians and Roumanians
who had a right to join the union and the
incident shows how necessary 1t is II mis-
takes are to be prevented in race riots
that there should be marked distinctions In
color or in the set Of the eyes. But the
italians and Roumanians and people or
other n~ationalities might have been at
tackled Just as nationally as unoffending
Greeks whose property was destroyed, and
their turn may come next, for this also is
the logic of race riots.
