THE AMERICAN CAESAR.

Will Theodore Roosevelt accept the
nomination for the presidency in 1912
If it is offered to him by the Republic
can party? This is a question quite
difficult to answer with any degree of
certainty. He himself declared that
he had practically served two terms,
but he dictated his successor and saw
that Taft was nominated by sending
his officeholders to the national con-
vention as delegates. He even par
ticipated in the campaign in behalf of
his protege, an unprecedented action
for a president of the United States.
Taft has not come up to public ex-
pectations, which shows that Roose-
welt was mistaken in the man and
that his judgment was at fault. Taft
has been weighed and found wanting
and yet his patron is not censured for
contrary, many Republicans of i'm
perialistic tendencies would like to
have Roosevelt for a third time as
president, and it looks as If he would
be given an opportunity to accept or
decline the offer. We get that i'm
preston from perusing some of our
Republican contemporaries.
This is a critical period in the hiss
tory of the American republic and it
tri~ NJ %@
consider what the nomination of
Roosevelt would mean. If the people
want a dictator in the presidential
chair, with the army and navy under
his command, and not an executive
willing to enforce the laws made by
Congress, then Theodore Roosevelt is
the man. Under his autocracy the
government OF the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, of which Lin
coin spoke, might perish from the
earth.
Some Republican organs have
laughed at Henri Watterson for ut
tering his fears OF Roosevelts. popu-
larity. Is Roosevelt patriotic enough
to do what Caesar did when he thrice
refused the crown, or Is he too vain
and ambitious to trample precedents
underfoot? If he could obtain a third
term, why not fourth and a fifth,
and hold office for life? From our
knowledge of his character we believe
he would not hesitate to accept the
nomination, but we also believe that
in spite of the plutocrats there is
patriotism enough vet left in the
breasts of the American people of all
parties to defeat him ANONYMOUSLY
at the polls.
One of the French papers. the Echo
de Paris, declared in leading article
during Roosevelts visit to that city
that "the struggle in America between
the plutocracy and the people will re-
suit in revolution and a dictatorship,
and that Roosevelt is to be the Amer
lean Caesar" 1t then proceeds to say
that che will return to his own coun-
try to replace the unfortunate Taft,
who in figure resembles Louis XVIII,
and in the end he will become dictator
of America, an imperialist MASTER
The fact that the leading papers Of
this country sent special correspon-
dents to Europe and Africa to report
his utterances and movements is SUI
ficient evidence to our mind that they
know he is an aspirant for a third
term. What has he ever done to mer-
it such distinction? AS the French
paper just quoted says: This organ-
lied triumphal tour OF the capitals of

strong Republican state will be re-
garded as a national figure. He has
all the qualifications for the exalted
position.

Hughes vetoed the reduction in rail-

demands honesty in the public service
and is punisher of small crimes, "
says Bryan, "but shows no indigna-

robbery"

do not practice modification and alb
negation as st. John did. They have
no inclination for a hermit's mode of
living.

The fact that the chief opponents of
the measure are among the ablest Re-
publicans In the senate and house. of
representatives, and that their integ-
rity is beyond suspicion, leads us to
believe that the bill is not in the in
terest of the people The fact that it
Is supported by former attorneys of
corporate interests now in Congress
confirms our belief that it needs many
amendments and that the people should
encourage their representatives to
fight it to the bitter end.
The insurgents" and Democrats are
working together and by united ac-
ton have succeeded in the lower house
in having many amendments adopted,
one of which will remove from the
president to the supreme court the
authority for the organization of the
court of commerce provided in the bill,
thus showing they have lost confidence
in Mr.. Taft and his attorney general,
Mr.. Wickersham, who was formerly
in the service of the Sugar Trust in
partnership with Taft's brother.
1t would not make much difference
whether Taft or the supreme court
would organize the court of commerce
If there were many judges like Lurton
on the supreme bench That gentle
man was VIGOROUSLY identified with
the railroads and had acquired the
cognomen of special car Lurton" be-
of last resort. The new judge appoint
ed the other day has never opposed
the railroads in their depredations on
the public while governor of the En-
pire State. While we wish fair play
for the railroads of the country, we
dislike to see their friends appointed
to render decisions from which there
is no appeal. The people are suspi-
cious of them, no matter how impair
TALLY they may perform their duty on
the bench of the supreme court.
1t is remarkable fact. that every
bill suggested by Taft has encountered
strong opposition in Congress from
members of his own party and that
his appointments, save that of Hughes,
have not been satisfactory to them or
to the people in general. His central
bank scheme, his ship subsidy bill, and
now his railroad bill are apt to go up
the spout. The trust lawyers in his
cabinet whom he has chosen for his
official advisers, are not worthy of
public confidence. They evidently
control him. The people are slow to
impugn the motives or the honesty of
purpose of the president but they have
lost confidence in his political saga
city. He has given no evidence of as
tute craftsmanship, and he is hardly
a practical politician of ordinary acu-
men when he permits sharpers like
Aldrich to bamboozle him into think
ing that the present tariff BILL which
he smilingly signed, is the best ever
passed in the history of the country.
The people of the West dstrust his
administration and that is why their
representatives in both houses of Con-
gress fight his proposed bills with
tooth and nail.

was feared.
Yesterday morning a meeting was
Leld in Ellensburg under the aus
rices Of the Commercial Club and It
was agreed that kittitas county
should furnish a proportion OF the
cost Of making this survey and es-
innate for the road. It viii cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000 to make

the complete survey, estimate and
the data required for the bill which
will be prepared for the legislature
In the division of the cost, kittitaS
county pays the cost OF the survey
