The Colonies Bad Luck

What has become of the Roosevelt
luck? The Colonel sets forth on his
Southern trip and the country is alb.
sorbed in the army's movements and
the Mexican crisis. He arrives in
Texas, where it has been arranged
that the Rough Riders should whoor
it up for him, and Fort Worth is Wis
tied by the greatest fire in years.
Now that he is headed for Ell Paso,
who knows but some of the extinct
volcanoes down there will create a
sensation by bursting forth in erup-
ton and causing the Rio Grande to
run up hill?
1t should be law of nature that
wnen the Colonel goes abroad on one
of his speech making tours all floods,
fires, wars and spectacular occur
ances on land and sea shall he sus-
pended out of Difference to him.
Respect for his rights requires that
he shall occupy the centre of the
stage and that nobody shall make a
noise in the wings to divert the at
tention of the admiring universe.

Predicts New Party

1t is too early to suggest that par
ty government is outmoded; for the
spirit of partisanship is tenacious and
the majority of men will still contin-
ue to attach themselves, ignorantly
or determinedly, by chance or by
choice. to one of the greater political
organizations. But it is not too early
to suggest that parties are a means,
not an end, that the object of their
existence is supposed to be the well
fare of the nation, not the exploita-
ton of private interests. Govern
ment of the people by party, for
the party, seems but poor travesty
of Democracy-unless the party is
justly entitled to use the prefix
national" Perhaps the time is not
far distant when such party, based
on coalition of the sincere and far
sighted, will change the whole out
look and spirit of politics in this
country. March Forum.
