SCIMITAR DIsPELS TIME
HON0RED MYTH

There is superstition TO the eff
feet that In a presidential campaign
year business must necessarily be
disturbed and dull. 1t is one OF
those myths which somehow sneak
out Of the shadows OF the past and
appear real.
The greatest breeder of hard times
Is the fear Of hard times.
when business voluntarily shrinks
in preparation for a business de-
cline, the decline is bound to come
If business knew no fear, 1t would
be only under most extraordinary
conditions that depressions could
occur.
There never yet has been elected
q president dangerously inefficient
or bad at heart. Should there ever
be one, his opportunity for harm il
closely hedged about.
Sober public opinion Is the rea
ruler of this country.
Safety and prosperity depend
upon the honest enforcement Of thu

upon by the American people

Cleveland, o., May 19.--"I am

II believe the people of Ohio are

Col. Roosevelt's statement was Is
sued at Mentor, where he spent the
day with James r. Garfield. former
secretary Of the interior. In 1t he

credit for the mining bureau. Roose'

candidacy, are limbering up prepar-
atorv for the Roosevelt band wagon
to jump. These signs are significant
and symptomatic. They not only in
dictate the increasing opinion that
Roosevelt will defeat Taft for the
nomination but they show marked
tendency on the part of those Re-
publicans who have professionalism
politics to line up with the winner.
The loss of Ohio to President Taft
would undoubtedly precipitate a
general and widespread rush for the
Roosevelt camp not only among
Southern Republicans but among
Republicans of other sections.
1t is conceded that the nomination
Of Roosevelt by the Republicans
would materially influence the ac'
ton of the Baltimore convention
The extent of that influence at this
stage is obviously a guess. But
there is no doubt that its Influence
would be felt in the formulation o.
the cmocratlc program.
