ROOSEVELT WISE IN HANDS 0Ff POLICY

WASHINGTON. D. C.. March B. Political Washington accepts Wal ter wellman's cable to the effect that President Roosevelt will posi- lively refuse to take a hand in the approaching congressional elections as a solution of the problem which has yexed so many minds: Will Roosevelt condemn or endorse the Taft administration?
 The democrats accept the ex-pres- idenfs pledge of noninterference with satisfaction. the standpatter faction of the republican party ae- cept it with keen disappointment. and the progressives are not dis pleased. But the principal fact is that all parties and factions of parties accept the welIman story as having been inspired by Roosevelt himself
 The Wellman version of how Roosevelt intends to -get from un- der" an exceedingly difficult load is accepted here because 1t looks mighty logical. Should the ex-pres- ident come home and go on the stump for the progressives it would necessarily imply his dissatisfaction with the Taft administration. By disowning MT. Taft. Roosevelt would admit that he enticed the American people into electing as president a man unfit for the office.
 On the other hand. should Col. Roosevelt endorse the Taft admin istration. it would necessarily also be an endorsement of Aldrichism and Cannonism, for the two bosses have run the government complete Iy since March {, 1909. Should Roosevelt place his approval on Aid rich and Cannon. he would alienate the affections and confidence of hundreds of thousands of Americans who have approved of his admins t-ation.
 In taking a non-committal attitude Roosevelt may be condemned by some. but on the whole it would ap- pear to be the shrewdest move he could possibly make.
 Who will benefit by Roosevelt's announced policy? The democrats and progressives will undoubtedly reap many a vote on account of it, and the standpatters realize the dan ger only too Sssn------------4--------
 The Taft administration has been so bad Roosevelt was afraid to en- dorse it." is what you may expect 10 hear the democrats and progress i've republicans proclaiming frSm the stump in the congressional cleo tions this fall And that explana- ton of the Roosevelt policy" of non-interference will come pretty close to hitting the nail squarely on the head. Roosevelt is a repubh- can first. last and all the time. He Ntulu tuuCESt AHt lfyuDiaNdA pe4 v with feryor under ordinary circum- stances. But the party is in the hands of such a wicked and unprin- cipled gang of politicians at the present time that Mir. Roosevelt would have to sacrifice his reputa- ton to come to the aid of the Aid rich's and Cannon's. And he him self evidently sees that with public sentiment as 1t is. he cannot afford to do it.
 So it is quite evident. after all. that MT. Roosevelt has not been so completely isolated from the United states or America that he has fail ed to keep in touch with the trend Of things political.
