A ROOSEVELT EDITORIAL.
In Which His strenuosity Deals
With Governor Hughes. Primary,
Reform and the New York Legis-
lafure."

New York. July s.-Ex-President
Roosevelt deals with Governor
Hughes, the New York Legislature.
and primary reform in a signed edi-
torial article in the current number
OF the Outlook. Mr.. Roosevelt writes
in part as follows:
Il believe that Governor Hughes
has been supported by the bulk of
the wisest and most disInterested
public opinion as regards most of his
measures and positions, and | think
that this has been markedly the case
as regards direct primary nomina-
tions. | know that many honest and
sincere men are on principle opposed
to Governor Hughes on this point.
and | know also that the proposed
reform will very positively accom-
plish less than its extreme advocates
expect; which I am we'll aware, as
OF course all thinking men must be,
that the worth of any such measure
in the last resort depends upon the
character of the voters, and that no
patent device will ever secure good
government unless the the people
themselves devote sufficient energy,
time, and judgment to make the de-
vice work. Finally, I freely admit
that here and there, where the prin-
ciple Of direct nominations has been
applied in too crude shape or wrong
headedly, it has, while abolishing
certain evils produced or accentuated
others-in certain cases, for in
stance, putting a premium upon the
lavish expediture Of money.
But while I freely admit all this,
nevertheless, feel, in the first place,
that on the fundamental issue of di-
rect primary nominations the Gov
ernor is right, and, in the second
place, that, as the measure finally
came up for action in the State Leg
! islature, it was Well-night free from
all objections save those Of the men
who object to it because they are
fundamentally opposed to any change
whatever in the desired direction.
''The Republican party was in the
majority in both houses Of the Leg
is lature which refused to carry out
the Republican Governors recon-
mendations; and although it was
only minority of the Republican
members who brought about this re-
fusal, the party cannot escape a
measure of responsibility for the
failure.
''Those who believe that by their
action they have definitely checked
the movement for direct popular pri-
maries are, in my judgment, mis-
taken. In its essence, this is a move
ment to make the government more
democratic, more responsive to the
needs and wishes of the people as a
whole. With our political machin-
cry, it is essential to have an efficient
party, but the machinery ought to
be suited to democratic and not to
oligarchic customs and habits.

Democrats Making Republican Ma.
terial.
Democratic leaders in Congress are
now making campaign material. To
be sure. it is not very good material
but the best obtainable. party
without a record, or whose small
record is SO bad that it cannot be
position when it comes to speech
making for campaign purposes.
The general point of Democratic
attack is the tariff, and yet we can.
not find in a single speech any refer
ence to the only Democratic tariff Law
of the past half century. There is
no allusion whatever to the condi
tions of business, of labor, or capi
tai, under the operation of the Will
son German law.
1t is interesting to compare these
Democratic and Republican speeches
The Democratic speeches are, O
course entirely negative, excepting
where Ass srtiOns are made as tc
what the party would do if it haC
the chance, but there is no mention
made of what it did do when it die
have the chance. On the other hand
the Republican speeches are filled
with tables of figures, which tht
records of commerce, with tht
amounts of revenue, with the in
creased number of those employed
and the increased wages which havt
come under our new law. The Dem
OCratic orator claims that price
have been raised because of the tar
iff; the Republican orator tells u
in reply that the tariff was reduced
on every article upon which the prict
has been raised. The speeches which
were made while the Sundry Civi
appropriation bill was under debat'
prove that the tariff is to be one o
the principal issues of the campaign
or rather not the tariff question 81
much as the discussion of the re
suits of the operation Of the Law
