The House and District Legislation.

The District is grateful for the assur-
ance given by Speaker Clark yesterday in
the House, when that body decided to
ignore the schedule and proceed with the
consideration of the naval appropriation
bill. that the loss of District day should
be made up later and that as much time
should be given for the transaction Of
local business as the calendar requires.
In point of fact the District lost little
yesterday by the passing of it's day, for
as a result of the inability of the House
committee to get together there was prac-
tically nothing OF importance awaiting
transaction, and the postponement of the
day may prove of benefit rather than a
disadvantage. for by the time the House
is ready for the transaction Of local
business the committee may have bust
ness for 1T to transact. Several measures
of the utmost importance are now in
committee awaiting action, notably the
public utilities commission bill and the
excise bill. both of which have been pass
ed by the Senate and need only confirma-
tory action by the House to start them
toward final enactment. 1t is an inter-
esting question whether the lack of busi-
ness on the House District calendar is to
be regarded as a cause or an effect Of the
disposition of the House to eliminate Dis
trict day against the rule of the session
II there We're more business ready for
that body to work upon as a result Of
committee activity there would be no ex-
cuse for passing the day in favor of gen.
eral legislation. The House can hardly
be expected to wait on the District COM
mittee. nor, on the other hand, is the
committee reasonably to be expected to
show particular vigor in getting bills
ready for action il there is a strong
chance OF District day being Cancelled
two out Of three times. Effective CO.
ordination Of the two parts OF the local
legislative machine on the House side
should not be impossible to secure, but

with conscientious and sincere acceptance

Mr.. Roosevelt and Dry Rot.

Mr.. Roosevelt closed his New Jersey
campaign with this declaration: 1.-The
republican party would have died of dry
rot if we had not made this fight"
Two years ago Mr.. Roosevelt entered
the New York campaign under the as
sumption that his leadership was neces-
sary to republican success. He had given
ear to few men who were dissatisfied
with the party situation. and were seek
ing change largely for personal ends.
Capitalizing his popularity-augmente
at the time by the enthusiasm created by
his return from Africa-Mr. Roosevelt
sought and obtained control of the state
convention, presided over it. and dictated
both the platform and the nominations
He proclaimed that his object was to
save the party
Was that the result of his course? The
party was overwhelmingly defeated. A
democratic governor and a democratic
legislature were elected, and Tammany
Hall took charge of the state.
During the campaign Mr.. Roosevelt was
all confidence He saw-in his minds
eye-the enemy beaten to a fragile. After
the battle he declared that he had never
entertained hope of victory. but had done
what he could to prevent the collapse Of
the party. He estimated that, but for his
Intervention, the democratic majority
would have reached the enormous figure
of three hundred thousand.
Tammany control, brought about by Mr..
Roosevelt's course, created democratic di-
visions and much general discomfort, and
an opening at once appeared for the re-
publicans. They seized it, and a repub-
lican assembly followed. But Mr. Roose-
velt's leadership was not invoked. He
was not appealed to at all. and had
neither part nor lot in the campaign. The
men he had displaced the year before
won the victory. and are now in charge
of the party organization in the state.
Again Mr.. Roosevelt is assuming that
his leadership is necessary to his party's
salvation. But this time it is the national
and not the state leadership he has in
view. He has given ear to some dissatis-
fled and some discredited men, and at
their head is creating confusion and
trouble for his party.
Should he win at Chicago he will of
course be all confidence during the cam
paign, and announce that he has the
enemy beaten to a FRAGILE. Then should
he be beaten to a fragile. he will de-
clare that but for his candidacy the re-
publican party would have been wiped off
the map.

Connective Radicalism.

II Theodore Roosevelt should be
nominated at Chicago on his Column
hus platform: and if, as the natural
democratic counterplay. William Jen-
nincs Bryan should then be nominated
az Baltimore. there would result an
exhibition of competitive radicalism
such as the republic has never before
witnessed
Assaulted by Bryan as insincere and
demagogic in his verbal protestations
of devotion to the common people ana
to populistic doctrine; denounced as
in truth the mere puppet of certain
favored trusts and monopolies, danger
Gus to the people. which have financed
his campaigns: and held up to scorn
as masquerading for the sake of votes
in misfit garments of populistic doc
trine. feloniously distracted from
Bryan's wardrobe. Roosevelt would be
driven by the necessity of indicating
his sincerity as a radical into the
very extremes of radicalism- He
would be forced in this direction
at least las far as who goes farthest,"
The plain. everyday business man,
given only the choice between the old and
original apostle of radicalism, his ancient
bugbear. on one side. and on the other
the thirdterm candidate. making good
his claim to be the very essence Of radi-
calism. has been pictured, not unreason-
ably, as favoring in his dilemma a re-
cession of the country to the Indians.
Conservative upholders of the Consti-
tuition and of American representative
government. whether poor, well-to-do or
rich. whether workers with their brains
or with their hands, would be driven by
these conditions into the political Cave
of Adullam, where every one that was
in distress and every one that
was discontinued gathered themselves"
They would doubtless find the cave va
Gated for their occupany by the present
Adullamites, to whom both Roosevelt and
Bryan make special and peculiarly urgent
appeal. and who would after a period of
puzzlement in choosing between the rival
radicals have arrayed themselves to
man under one or the other of the popu-
listic standards.
1t would be moving day-the greatest
and most memorable in all history-in
the Cave of Adullam.

The Blow at Gen. Wood.

Congress will do bad piece of legisla-
tive work if it passes the army appropria-
ton bill carrying with it the restrictions
proposed 10 be placed upon the appoint
ment of the chief of staff. so framed spe-
clheally as TO eliminate Maj. Gen. Wood
from his present position. in which he is
placed to the unmistakable benefit of the
military service. 1t is possible that
changes in the organization are required
IN the interest of better army admins
tration- If so. they should be worked out
on a broad basis, and not for the purpose
of effecting personally desired results
against individuals. To derange the entire
military system in order to reach one
man who has earned the enmity of few,
chiefly as d result of his insistence upon
strict discipline in the service, is to de-
base legislation TO low ends and to infict
d serious hurt upon the government it
self. Secretary Stimson points plainly to
the restrictive and unfortunate results of
the proposed legislation, in cutting off
from possible assignments to the higher
positions men of exceptional ability who
may chance 10 lack certain formal quail
1cations not in the least requisite for the
proper and successful performance of
their duties. 1t is evident that the trainers
of this measure. which is actually on the
point OF final enactment without thought
full study by either house. have not under
taken to lay down any broad general
policy with regard to army administra-
on. but have aimed blow at the pres
ept chief of staff, an officer who merits
10 such treatment, but who deserves con-
s!deration for what he has done for the bet
terment of the service. 1t is deplorable that
members of the House and Senate should
seek TO use general legislation for the set
element of private controversies. and the
hope remains that the sober reflections of
the lawmakers will save them from max
ing so serious a mistake.

dispatch of a considerable fleet of bat
tleships and auxiliaries to Cuban waters.
together with over 5000 marines, Is by
no means an -unfriendly action. but is
in the nature of assistance to the Cuban
republic which should be appreciated at
Havana. =
Experience teaches that Ii is no easy
task to suppress Instruction in Cuba
when it Is conducted on the basis Of
guerrilla warfare. Spain found it impos-
sible to conquer the rapidly moving bands
of patriots. who kept practically all parts
of the island in turmoil and skillfuliy
avoided decisive engagements. The
Cuban government cannot at present
recruit its army to strength sufficient
to crush this insurrection as quickly as
was promised. There are disquieting
signs of disaffection not only on the
part of the negroes. who constitute the
revolving force now in the field, but
in other quarters. Taken altogether, it
would not be surprising If in the
course OF few days President Gomez
finds himself in a position to welcome
formally the aid of the American
forces landed to afford protection in
specified places. Doubtless il he could
corner the insurgents and compel them to
give battle he could, with the force at
his command, crush the insurrection at
one blow: but they are an elusive
quantity. and will presumably continue
to act in small squads, cutting rail-
road and telegraph lines. burning plan
tations and otherwise working destruc
ton. If they have the sympathy of the
people they will be hard to beat save
with a large reinforcement of the
Cuban troops. They seem to be capa-
bly, led. The most sinister feature of
the instruction thus far is the fact that
it is a fermentation of race feeling.

A Pacific Coast View.
From the Portland oregonian.

If Col. Roosevelt shall be nominated, a
large number of republicans who have
never before voted for democrat will
vote for Clark or Wilson, or Bryan, or
any other democrat. With Roosevelt
comes the deluge, they think; and they
might as well precipitate the food by &C.
cepting the alternative. There are many
republicans who will under no circum-
stances vote for Taft, and they on their
part are ready to follow Roosevelt wher-
ever he leads them and whatever conse-
quences are to follow. If Taft shall be
nominated, it is certain that he cannot
be elected. unless Roosevelt supports him
and unless the democrats make a fatal
blunder in their selection Of q candidate.
If Roosevelt shall be nominated by the
republicans, he cannot be elected unless
Taft shall support him and unless the
democrats make a stupid choice. II there

dence can prevent a democratic victory.

st. Paul Adopts Commission Plan.
From the Pittsburgh Press.

From the Pittsburgh Press.
In the absorbing interest of the fight
for the presidential nominations 1t has
been more or less generally overlooked
that the city Of st. Paul, Mimi, has just
voted for the commission form of gov
eminent. to 60 into effect two years
hence. st. Paul has about 600 inhabit-
ants, and 1t will be the largest city in
the country experimenting with mu-
nicipal administration of this character
1t Is well that cities of some size should
give the plan trial, as the experience
of towns with 5000 or $1,000 inha bitants
offers no indication how commission gov
eminent would fit more important mu-
inequalities. The press dispatches do not
give a detailed description of the new St
Paul code. Briefly, 1t provides for a
mayor, a controller and six councilmen
THE mayor assigns councilman to head
each of the several administrative depart
ments. He also names purchasing
agent. The council elects a city attorney
and a city clerk. The mayor Is presi-
dent Of the council and is given ootn ex-
ecutive and legislative powers"
