ROOSEVELT DECLARES FOR TAFT IN 1912.

The announcement that Thsodore Roosevelt will throw his support r. President Taft next year makes ,1s zenomination of the president aboas IS certain as any political eyeCs 5e foretold so far in advance. L. doing this Colonel Roosevelt has stopped all talk of his candidacy and with the support of the strenu- ous rough rider there is none other in the republican party that will 0e able to muster sufficient strength to even attract serious attention
 While Taft will be fearfully handi- capped in the race because of the record of his part in passing the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill and by his own record in giving his final en- dorsement to that measure. it must be admitted that the president has recently regained some of his lost popularity because of the position he has taken in making a strenuous effort to have the Canadian recipro, city agreement approved. He has been strengthened because of the activity of the lumber trust and other protected interests in opposing the treaty. In supporting the Cana dian treaty President Taft has es poused some of the ideas of tariff revision Tor which the democratic party has been contending for years Now with the help Of Roosevelt iI the campaign of next year the presi dent becomes a more formidable op ponent than democrats have beer regarding him since the last cleo ton.
 But, even with the new support added to his ambitions. the political cards now read plainly that next year will bring the greatest victory ever won by the democratic party ir this country.
 The democrats in the lower house of congress hs.5 proceeded in 8 straightforward, harmonious manner in fulfilling the pledges made lasi year and have now in the senate many bills which If smothered or defeated by the republican majority

TEMPT FRANCE AND PROHIBITION.

Current Issue. a Texas publication, -ubmits clean cut and lucid ex' pose Of the fallacy of prohibition in the following;
 To assume that prohibition, a mere party term and political shib- boleth, means the same as the tenn perate use or total avoidance of al cohoiic liquor. is a distortion of Ian guagc so obvious that it would be wholly ridiculous but for the fact that well mentioned and otherwise sensible mon are so obsessed in a particular pet scheme that they cant see the.r own absurdities of argu- ment and action.
 The experience of states that have tried it rom Maine to the Pacific slope. from the Canada line 20 the southern coast, the federal census figures showing the produc. ucn and consumption of spirits court records and police statistics, a cloud of witnesses from every direc
 tion-aI these testify that political prohibition has not promoted temper ance or created the habit of total abstinence among the people. It Is sheer folly. then. to take the simple name of @ crusade or political propa
 ganda and make it stand for a con summation which all good citizens
 as deyouuy wish as the prohibition ists themselves that is to say. tenn , iperance among those who can use
 intoncants rightly and total avoid
 ance by those who can't
 Yet it Is this kind of folly and
 obvious confusion and contradiction
 of terms that the prohibition leaders
 are teaching and preaching all ovel
 Texas today, and which thousands oi
 people are accepting as the gospe
 of social ana governmental progress.

BOLT EXPECTED
 FROM INSURGENTS.

Will the insurgent republicans walk out of the republican national convention next year, as the Free Silver republicans walked out in 1896?
 This question is being considered at present by a majority of the re- publicans in Washington, and it has been forced to the front because of the sharp division of the senate over the choice of a president pro tenn pore, writes W. ". Jermane in the Portland oregonian.
 The insurgents declare they will not walk out of the national conven- ton, and they point to their famu- iarity with the history of such movements in American politics as sufficient reason why they should not But the regulars declare that inc drift of events seems almost cer- tain to demand such action It is clear that the regulars. as whole, are stronglv of ths opinion that there win be such ection, and that the progressives, in 1912. win form A third party. appealing for support

be induced to run under pressure from President Taft on the ground that it is his duty as republican to make the race.
 5orah Really Strong.
 He is recognized as a strong cam paigner and one of the big men of the senate. He is only forty-six years old. and could easily stand the hard ships of a rigorous campaign which the 1912 campaign is expected to be. He is not Taft man, in fact he has had some differences with the white house. but his ability Is not underes- timated in that quarter Senator Bor ah, it is learned on good authority, is more likely to support Senator La Toilette in his candidacy for the presidency. should his boom be launched at the convention. than the Taft boom, but he is certain to support the nominee for the presi- dency. whoever he may be.
 It may be, though of course no word of verification can be obtained. that the Taft boomers are pulling of a great stroke of diplomacy in sug- gesting Borah's name for second place. They can readily see what influence he can bring to bear for La Follette's nomniation in Chicago. and the suggestion has been advane- that it is probably the plan to head of Borah's support of La Toilette by nominating him for second place. so that he will swing his support to President Tart.
 Wants To Be President.
 Senator Borph has aspirations for the presidency himself. but is biding his time before his bonn is to be launched. It is not thought. however. that he will attempt to start it at this time
 He is at present of the opinion that it is much better to start his cam paign for the presidency in the man ner in which the Cummins and La Toilette booms have been spread. Consequently everyone is of the opin- ion that Senator Borah will launch out in the lecture fiieid more prom iently than ever before.
 Before the republican convention is called, however. it is expected that the white house will let 1t be- come known who the president would like to see on the ticket with him during the next campaign.

THREE CANDIDATES; ALL AVAILABLE.

1 The presence of Governor Wood, lrow Wilson in Washington this week
 where he stopped on his return from his western trip. started afresh his boom for the presidency Governor
 Wilson during the past two weeks
 has been the most prominent candi- date for the presidency, who aspires
 for the democratic nomination in 1872 Wherever he went on his long trip around the country. Wilson was received with the greatest consider ation and he has cause to be well satisfied with the prominence he has added to his ambition as result.
 But there are others, and it is yet too early to say who will be the most available man to lead the demo cratic hosts next year,
 During the last few weeks the name of Champ Clark. present speak CT of the house. has been attract ling increased attention as a presi- denual candidate and should Mis- souri organize a fight for her bril- liant son. he might develop formid- able strength in many of the states .now counted for Wilson or Harmon. Folk. of Missouri. is hardly mention ed now as a candidate and it is pretty well understood that if Mis- souri is to have a favorite son in the democratic national convention in 1912 his name will be Clark.
 The friends of Governor Harmon have not been so active recently as they were immediately after his visit to Washington during the or ganization days of the present con- gressional session. Harmon is very strong in Ohio and in the states bordering. and there is the spot where the democrats have been lacking in strength during the last decade and a half
 We believe either Wilson or liar mon would be the most available at the present time, if nominations were to be made now. but should conditions point to Champ Clark or some other prominent democrat next year, then they will be set aside.
 Colonel Bryan continues to make declaration that he is not seeking the chance for a fourth trial for the presidency, but there are those who assert the belief that he would be glad if his friends should again rally sbout his banner and force upon him tne nomination.

to the radical elements among both the republicans and the democrats. for the majority in neither national convention. it is claimed, will be controlled by the radicals
 The republican convention. fer in- stance. seems certain to renominate President Taft. on a platform which
 will recognize a good many of the
 radical doctrines. but which will draw the line at the initiative, refer endum and recall The progressives meanwhile are making these three issues the main features of their program, and they have been doing so for a number of months.
 In the republican convention every delegate will be permitted to vote his convictions on these and all other questions coming up. and yet. with this the case, even the progress ives do not hope to be able to con trol the convention.
 That action" says Mir. Tawney. will make the initiative. referen- dunn and recall the paramount issue of the campaign. and sharply divide the country, as did the issue of free silver. There will be the tariff is- sue. of course, but it will be of sec ondary importance. and besides there gre low tariff and high tariff men m large numbers in both parties. and the difficulties in the way of mak- ing the tariff the chief issue will thus be made more difficult than ever before. The fact that the in surgents in the senate hold the balance of power in that body win. in this session and the one of next winter. in my opinion, so put the ex- treme views of the progressives to the fore as to make those views logically the chief issue in 1912"
 With this the case, the campaign of 1912, like the campaign of 1896, will be a campaign of education. There will be much diligent study on the part of politicians in both par ties or the way the initiative. refer endum and recall have worked in those countries and states which have adopted them. and the results of this study will be spread before the people in speeches and news paper articles without number. The result of the campaign ought to de termine once for all the attitude oi the United States toward those ques- tions, just as the result in 1896 de termined its attitude toward free silver.
