THE CALL TO ROOSEVELT.

IT HE call to Roosevelt so far has fallen on deaf
n ears a new and strange attitude for the
colonel He is reported as debating, rejecting,
and how disappointed must be those who expected
a series of continuous explosions from oyster
Bay the day after the colonel arrived
Mr. Roosevelt is suitng his own convenience,
eniovinp himself and properly So There is no
good reason why he should take all the political
burdens of the entire country upon himself when
the time comes he will speak as the spirit moves
him.
Mr.. Roosevelt is becoming a mystery. What will
he do? is the question asked, not so often now
as il once was We fancy that he will support
the Republican ticket in his own way, and that
he will not be found as the leader of any new
movement.
1t is whispered among the former Presidents
friends that he is shrinking from the task OF
eading the Republican party in New York and
guiding it out Of the wilderness in which it finds
Itself He mZ 20 into the back ground when
the fight foS'the control OF the New York State
conventioA becomes bitter. " Roosevelt keeps in
the les it is feared by the opponents of the
State machine that the machine will win easily.
1t is said that the Colonel doesn't like the idea
Of being called a dictator. He merely wants to
be a man in the ranks. He refused to take part
ln the Ohio fight and the call from California for
him to lead the battle of the progressives there
has been unheard
If Mr. Roosevelt wished battle royal he could
get it by plungng into any of these struggles
Certain il is that if he should 60 against the
Proeresssives such action would be a body blow TO
them II would take all the strength Of Roose-
cet and the Progressives together 10 defeat the
standpatters Conservatism is always strong and
powerful and we'll supplied with the munitions of
war Perhaps Mr Roosevelt shrinks from a
struggle at this time against them, though the
Outlook article the other day, which was not
signed hy him indicated that the Fight for progress

THIRD TICKET IN PENNSYLVANIA.

TT is improbable that the Keystone ticket
named by the independents and malcontents
in Pennsylvania will poll very large vote. Ger
tsinly il has little chance of winning and If IS
likely 70 hurt the Democratic ticket more than
the Republican.
For wears strong and able men have been IN
the ranks of the Pennsylvania reformers. They
we're at the Philadelphia convention the other day
The trouble in the past seems 10 have been that
too MANY Of them we're more eager for the Offices
and fame that go with politics than they we're
TO give the state good government The City
party Of Philadelphia which once bid fair
TO control that city for a longer time than momen-
tarily, went TO pieces on the rocks OF personal
jeaiouses and dissensions.
The Pennsylvania reformers should take les
son from the way the Socialist reformers are
doing in Milwaukee. There, il is not and has not
been question Of putting various men IN ofhces.
This condition may be due to the fact that the
party is new. The personal dissensions will come
later when the politicians begin TO join the Social
ist party for what they can get out of IT,
Mr. Berry is not a particularly strong candidate
for governor Of Pennsylvania He made a good
record as State treasurer but he has been for
years chronic seeker for Office. His pronounced
temperance views barred him from the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor. There is appar-
emily less sentiment in Pennsylvania for prohibit
ton than in any other State, as the "drys have
been unable 10 get even local option law

chance TO vote the question OF the sale OF
liquor.
Penrose must have thought that he had every
thing his own way or he would not have nomi-
mated Tener With a tremendous Republican ma
iority in Pennsylvania the Independents would
have TO make extraordinary fight to cripple
the organization TO any extent
The nomination Of State Senator Grim as the
Democratic candidate has been received with much
disfavor and the dissatisfied Democrats will rally
TO the support of Berry. They will be joined by
the dissatisfied Republicans, but the Berry canvass
will probably make heavier inroads on the Demo-
cratic party than on the Republican
