ROOSEVELT REBUKED.

Theodore Roosevelt shares the humilia-
ton that has come to his party. A
foreible rebuke is administered TO him.
1t ought to chasten and sober him.
Ills was not a helpful or an inspiring
role in a campaign eliminating in party
disaster His preachments did not square
with his acts. He pursued an ill-starred
course from the moment he broke his
sixty-day silence. Championing the pro-
gressiyes in Iowa and Kansas. and then.
after a wanton affront to the Vice Fresi-
dent OF the United States, meekly bowling
10 the will of the standpatters Of New
York State, espousing Beveridge in In
diana and Lodge in Massachusetts-the
extremes Of political thought; INDUCING
in TRADES of abuse OF Foss and Baldwin
and Dix. and out-Bryaning Bryan in ap-
peals to class prejudice; his damning
with faint praise OF Taft and his admin
istration-all these things and more served
to tire the country OF Theodore Roosevelt.
and tire 1t painfully and quickly.
The returns tell their own story OF his
part in the cataclysm.
But with this Christening, Theodore
Roosevelt is still dominant force in
American politics. Such a character is
not to be undone in a twinkling. He
will loom large again. no doubt. and.
let US hope. IN worthier role. A forgiving
party will forgive him much. But it will
not make him its candidate In 1912 unless
It be constituted anew.
And we do not believe the G. o. P. viii
constitute itself anew.

THE ELECTIONS.

History again has repeated itself.

Inevitably discredits the political party
responsible for it and invites disaster at
the polls.
It was so under Cleveland and under
Harrison. and so in the earlier days OF
this republic. And now. in this year of

with emphasis, and it is so under Taft.

With a steady governmental trend fsr
a decade toward Hamiltonlanism. there
IS to-day a pronounced popular trend to-

Roosevelt, whose self-tmposed leadership
was a dominant factor in the campaign,
properly sensed the situation and at
tuned himself to it, instead Of sounding
new and discordant notes OF unrest and
discontent-in short, had he courage
ously espoused direct nominations and an
enliberated electorate in bis own State
and let his activity go at that-he would
have saved much from the wreckage of
the ballots and enhanced instead OF lost
the prestige Of his leadership.
Out Of "a hopeful chaos'-a term aptiy
applied TO kindred mix-up in the distant
past-will come now a clearing Of the
political atmosphere that should make for
enduring good. The oountry's need of an
opposition party worthy Of the name-a
need apparent for sixteen years-has been
supplied. To the Democracy has been
given control of the House, an Increased
