Roosevelt a Republican.

The intimation comes strongly from
a very close friend of former President
Roosevelt that the latter will unques-
tionably take the stump this fall in
Ohio. Indiana and other states where
party Headers suggest an element of
danger to the congressional ticket
through party differences over the tariff
and to activity of the Democrats. 1t is
understood that this action will be TAX
en- wholly independent of the admins
tration, and without any bearing on
Colonel Roosevelt's attitude toward the
administration, which those friends
maintain however. to be of the most
cordial character.
AS one whose leadership is potent,
and his interest in party supremacy no
less strong than his desire to have a
Republican Congress in order to enact
Roosevelt policies into law, the former
President has as much at stake in the
coming campaign as the administra-
ton, these friends of his declare.
Roosevelt even has an advantage oyer
President Taft. Although his interest
in party supremacy is no greater, irres-
pective of individual differences, the
former. President can take up his per-
sonal cudgels in open championship, if
necessary, for those who have differed
with the administration over the tariff.
Roosevelt has never taken a stand on
that economic subject in his whole pub
lie career, except being the standard
bearer in campaign that advocated
reimbursement of the tariff by the friends
of protection as declared in his plat
form.
1t may be safely assumed that the
insurgents who have deserted the Re-
publican party, and are giving aid and
comfort to the Democratic party, will
get a jolt from Roosevelt that will
cause them to sit up and take notice.
He isn't that kind of Republican

Mules and Kindness.

"In the fifteen years that I have

harsh treatment is an interesting ques-
ton. Why are they immune? There
are plenty of mules, even in New
York. Does nobody beat them? Does
nobody underfeed them? If not, why
not? Does a mule show such a de-
cided ability for taking care of him
self that his owner is afraid to abuse
him. or do men beat mules and escape
because the persons who
witness the beating think it is only
mule and not worth bothering about?
