THE MAN ON HORSEBACK?

In all seriousness, and with his usual pictur- esque vigor, Henry Watterson bids us reflect upon the approaching triumphal return of Theodore Roosevelt, and to contemplate the pos sibility that representative government is fail ure and that the time has come when benev- olent despot is needed to put our house in or der He says that whatever we may think about it. the return of Roosevelt to power would be so construed by Europe.
 "History has agreed" says MT. Watterson, "that the best of all governments is wise and benevolent despotism Of course no despotsm can be either wise or benevolent. Despots may be both but the trouble is that even despots must die, and the successor of wise and benev- olent one may be unwise and cruel
 This country is not looking for benevolent despotism, or for despot. In the financial feudasm that has grown up in this country we have all the despotism we need, and it IS neither wise nor benevolent Just now this nation IS struggling to escape that despotism, and the req son it admires Roosevelt, and scatters laurels in his path, is that he seems to represent, better than any other, the spirit of revolt against tyranny and the aspiration of the people to a government for and by themselves.

CAN THE PARTY DO NO WRONG?


 It took distressing quantity of suffering and hardship and bloodshed, and a splendid lot of patriotism and unselfshness, to do away with the hoary and fraudulent old motto that "the king can do no wrong"
 And now we have come upon times when a new paraphrase of that motto, hardly less ob- jectionable than the original form, seeks to per petuate itself in the "home of the free" The new motto is that "the party can do no wrong'; and it's special pleaders are William H. Taft, Nelson W. Aldrich, Joseph G. Cannon and their less conspicuous associates.
 That motto embodies the program of the re- publican organization. It has the merit of sim plicity. It makes the issue clear, so that he who runs may read. The country is indebted to At tornew General Wickersham, who laid down the law for its benefit recently.
 The republican organization is going to make votes for and approval of the infamous Aldrich- Payne Taft tariff law the test of repubicanism
 No republican senator or congressman who dared to vote against that law or who now dares to condemn it as a betrayal of public confidence and a breach of party pledges, is to be counted as republican.
 No citizen who dares to say that this wretched law is not all that it ought to be is to be count ed as member of the republican party.
 The voter has this alternative before him: He must accept the leadership of Aldrich and Can non as Taft has accepted it, and he must accept the Aldrich-Payne-T Taft tariff law as the highest form of enlightened statesmanship, or he must leave the party.
 The enemies of the republican party could ask for nothing better than this. The republican organization has framed the issue just as they would have framed it. The only thing the op- ponents of the party had to fear was the leaven of patriotism working through the insurgents '' in senate and house; and this leaven the repub- lican organization repudiates.
 To be republican one must accept Aldrich and Cannon as the highest ideals of statesman ship; one must believe that their policy of plac- ing property higher than humanity is enlighten- ed and sound one must agree that special priv iege must be preserved at whatever cost to the people; one must agree that the republican par ty, no matter into what corrupt and evil hands its destinies may have come, can do no wrong and that whatever it does is right and whoever guides its course is immaculate
 Taft has swallowed this bitter dose, and the rank and file of the party must do the same or leave the party. There is to be no compromise and there should be none.
 In the meantime the people, to large degree have made opposition to the Aldrich-Payne- Taft tariff bill the test of political deserts. They recognize in it deadly blow at their liberties and an infamous scheme to tax them heavily for the exceeding great profit of privileged few.
 The situation, then, is this: The republican organization deliberately chooses to make the issue one of itself against the people. What should be the outcome of conflict on such an issue?
 As we'll might one ask what would happen if a cyclone struck a house of straw.

THERE was small sinister sound and something
closed relentessly on his leg. He had stepped
