'Characteristically RoOseveltian. -

NhAAhNbNAlsNACu ANuVnSNNltldhs
Colonel Roosevelt has at least saved
the steel Investigation from whitening
away completely in innocuous desue-
tude. His weekend visit to the COM
mittee's chambers. unbidden and I'M
heralded, has revived interest in 1t for
those who have been following its
serial grist in the hope OF detecting
something to prick attention. The in
quiry has not after all been in vain.
In the dispatches the former presi-
dents voluntary appearance before the
examining board from congress is de-
scribed as dramatic" "unprece-
dented" and Enthusiastically Roose-
veltian." Certainly. And what is more,
it serves, or should serve, to silence
those who have been declaring that
President Roosevelt did not know what
he was doing when he consented to
this transaction in the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company. 1t should put an
end to the criticism that he was gulled
into doing something which now he
dare not defend.
His statements to the committee
show clearly that he went into this
transaction with his eyes wide open,
keenly approaching its character and
consequences, and with a reason for
the faith that was in him, boldly as
serts that he acted, as he believed
then and now, 'for the public good"
that quick decision was necessary to
stem the threatening tide of destruc-
tive financial current and that he de-
cided and acted as quickly as it was
possible, that the results, in the light
of four years experience, have fully
vindicated what he did.
Never before was a president or
former president of the United States
called to explain or justify his official
actions, nor was Colonel Roosevelt
called, except as he interpreted the
temper of the country on the subject
to be an implied invitation for him to
come and face his critics. The per-
Torrance again shows Roosevelt to be
the man of iron courage and convic-
ton the country has believed him and
he will have no difficulty in convincing
people that he acted intelligently and
wisely in that great crisis.

Amazing2 Why, Certainly.

w. ]. Bryans attack on Mr.. Underwood
is not giving the leader OF the house any
concern, Friends Of Mr. Underwood de-
clare that Mr.. Brysn's explanation is not
satisfactory. They not only express amaze
ment that Bryan should make newspaper
reports the basis of these extremely serious
charges against the leader of the house,
but also make mention of the fact that he
drew conclusions from these reports which
were not Justified World Herald.
II is certainly amazing" that Mr..
Bryan should make newspaper reports
the basis of extremely serious charges
against the leader OF the house, but
more particularly amazing" when
those newspaper reports happen to be
reports in the World-Herald, which
newspaper he has repeatedly branded
and denounced for deliberately mis-
representing the facts. The only ex-
cuse Mr.. Bryan has that we can think
of is that, seeing the report labelled
as a special Washington dispatch and
presumably personally inspired or GEN.
sored by Senator Hitchcock himself, he
might foolishly have thought 1t worth
more credence than the home-mRnu-
featured articles in that paper. Still an
other amazing" thing about it Is that,
having printed the misleading report
used by Mr.. Bryan as the basis of his
attack on Mr.. Underwood, the World
Herald should denounce Mr.. Bryan for
relying on it's own fake dispatch.

Folk Bids for Bryan Approval.

In the steadily frightening line of
democratic presidential candidates
only, one thus far has answered all Mr..
Bryan's thirteen test questions, Gov
ernor Marshall having side-stepped
certain of them, and this one, former
Governor Joseph w. Folk of Missouri,
answers them as, it is assumed, will
suit Mr.. Bryan perfectly. How long
will Mr.. Bryan give the others to an
swer? Or has he, owing to the con-
stantly changing list of possibilities,
decided not to fix a time limit as yet?
And should Mr.. Folk be the only one
to make the desired responses, will he
inherit the favor and support of Mr..
Bryan?
AS a matter of interest the list of
entries might be cited here. 1t now
includes. up to latest accounts, Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, Governor Har-
mon, Speaker Champ Clark, former
Governor FOLK, Governor Marshall,
Governor Dix, Senator-elect Hoke
Smith and last, but not least, Demo-
cratic Leader Underwood of the house
This, of course, takes no account of
Mr.. Bryan's right to get in the race
himself, If he should see fit, nor does
it include other lesser lights. BY the
process of elimination the list of those
who even remotely may be expected
to answer all of Mr.. Bryan's questions
satisfactorily to him is easily reduced
to three men at the outset, probably
two-Folk and Smith. Champ Clark
would be included as the third, but
for recent conduct on his part, which
indicates turning away from any test
or standards Mr.. Bryan might exact,
though this is not to mean that the
speaker is not ready for all the help
the Nebraskan can give him.
Harmon, Dix and Underwood-who
is borne into the race on the intan-
glble lift OF his controversy with Mr..
Bryan-may count on being called to
stand aside; Hoke Smith has been
favorably mentioned by Mr.. Bryan, as
has also each of the others, but 1t is
scarcely to be supposed that Clark,
Wilson, II indeed. Smith. will see fit
to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Folk.
Mr.. Folk, therefore, really looms up
big-if Mr. Bryan's approval is

A prominent New York business
man, who returns from Cuba after a
visit Of two months, discounts the i'm
porAnce of the recent uprising and all
talk of malcontent among the people.
In a special dispatch he is quoted as
saying:
cuba is fixed on firm political founda-
tion, President Gomez Is a popular execu-
tive and the "insurrectlon" of General
Gullermo Aceveda a few days ago was of
no more Importance than fair-sized street
brawl and was started by a dissatisfied
bushwhacker.
This report OF the situation is not
inconsistent with the first impression
that must come to one who has kept
up with the progress in Cuba since
American occupation. OF course, in a
country like that periodical displays
of this sort by disgruntled or disap-
pointed self-seeking persons are to be
looked for, but the saner, repressive
influences have been at work in Cuba
too long not to have got in some
pretty good lieks. Also talk of Amer
lean Intervention" would seem to be
groundless in view of the primary fact
that there is nothing to intervene for,
and secondarily, that Cuba is busily
engaged In civil pursuits, such as in
creasing modern Improvements on the
island.
The New York man points out that
sanitation is one thing about which
Uncle Sam has been very anxious in
Cuba and that how much chance
there is for this government to inter-
vene on that score may be seen in
the fact that just now Cuba is invest
ing s16,OO0,O00 in sewer and paving
improvements, 90 per cent of which is
completed. The military and civic af-
fairs are said to be in correspondingly
good conditions. President Gomez has
the confidence of the people and is
doing q great work in carrying on the
movement of substantial reform. Con-
fidence in a country like Cuba Ia the
most valuable asset a chief executive
can possess. The basis of peace and
progress was securely laid by the
Americans in Cuba and Cubans read
lily see the advantages Of peace and
progress over revolution and retrogres-
sion. Since they do, they are not likely
to choose amiss.

"Miken HarrinRtOn's Bombshell

Following up his prelude at the Free

has fred the bombshell which he
promised to explode under one OF the
democratic aspirants for state railway
commissioner, whom he then, without
naming him. accused of being a
dummy of the railroads, The chief

of wrath, c. f. Hartman, is charged
with having decoyed into the running
for the railroads who afterward ex-
erted themselves for COwgill's cleo
ton.
Mr.. Hartman will doubtless speak
for himself, and while the controversy
precipitated by Harrington concerns
chiefly the democrats, several other
questions force themselves out Why
did Harrington not expose and de-
nounce Cowgirl as a railroad tool

Wanted reform enacted by the late
democratic legislature making 1t un-

applies only to candidates for Office
