These Are Republics
In Name Only.

1t is well to entertain not too many
illusions about number of so-called
republics that have lately sprung into
being. While 1t is true that a spirit
Of progressiveness exists all over the
civilized world, the most optimistic
student Of affairs cannot hope to see
many reforms speedily made. The
new republic Of China is a republic
in name only, and is in a shaky con-
dition. Its permanent establishment,
cannot by any flight of the magma
ton, be said to have been attained.
The republic of Portugal has done
little but totter so far and it is only
fair and Just to say that the people of
Portugal are really Monarchists at
heart and that they have not suffi-
GENTLY advanced In education ana
knowledge to be entirely capable of
self government. Mexico has never
known what a real republic is like,
but some day the Mexieans will gov
ern themselves. They are learning
how. All over the world the people
are waking up and the spirit of pro-
gress can be seen and felt in all coun-
tries

FRIDAY. AUGUST %. 1912.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt
Of Armagedden.

In a recent issue, Harper's Weekly
makes this wise suggestion:
I'VE respectfully suggest to the di-
rectors of the Democratic canvass that
William H. Taft is not the man whom
Woodrow Wilson has to beat"
1t is well to reiterate that those who
are in the habit of belittering the eff
forts Of Theodore Roosevelt, blusterer
and buffer though he be. win probably
be very much surprised at the result
Of the November election.
Judging from conditions as they
exist now, as far as it is humanity pos
sible to forecast elections. it looks now
that Woodrow Wilson will be over
whelmingly elected. It would create
no surprise if he carried two-thirds
or three-fourths of the states. Still
the baneful influence of Rooseveles
personality has been so potent, that he
will no doubt get very large popu-
lar vote in nearly every. section of the
country, and win be very likely to get
the electoral vote of several states.
Chairman Hilles, of the Republican
committee. is the most sanguine prog
nosticator Of the season. He has is
sued a statement claiming 3S4 cleo
toral votes for Taft, conceding Ia to
Wilson and putting "a in the doubt
full column. Perhaps the strongest
part Of Hilles statement is that he
conceded to Wilson such states as
Texas and Florida. While he was
at it. he might as well have claimed
the entire outfit. To emphacise thu
absurdity of this Taft claim, it 1,
noticed that Hilles places Kentucky
Maryland, Missouri and Tennessee ii
the Republican column. while he con.
eedes nothing to Roosevelt and make.
Oklahoma and Arizona doubtful states
Some Democrats have conceded
Utah. Wyoming and Vermont to TAT
and claim all the rest for Wilson.
When the votes are counted, in al
probability the Armageddon scrappei
will have several such states as Cali.
fornia and Kansas and that he viii
have fairly respectable popular vote
Doubtless Harper's Weekly is right
Taft is not the man Governor Wilson
has to beat.
