MR.. ROOSEVELT A CANDIDATE

Mr.. Roosevelt has at last announced
his candidacy for the republican nom
ination for the presidency in opposi
ton to his friend, President Taft.
Just before his departure fol
Africa on his great hunting expedi
ton it is claimed that President Taft
wrote him a letter in which the fol
lowing sentence occurred:
81 acknowledge my debt of graft
tude to my brother Charles and you
for nay election
To be placed in the same connec
ton with President Taft's brother
angered Mr.. Roosevelt and he has
never forgiven the president for it.
However this may be, breach has
opened up between them and it is
now fight to the finish.
Mr.. Roosevelt has given out that
he favors:
Government supervision of corpora
tons
Direct election of senators.
The short ballot
Direct nomination by the people,
including national convention dele
gates.
The initiative and referendum.
The recall, including recall of
judges and special recall of specified
judicial decisions.

WHO ARE 1.-THE PEoPLE?"

Said Mr.. Roosevelt in his Columbus
speech: 1--WE progressives believe
that the people have the right, the
power and the duty to protect them
selves and their own welfare"
Everybody believes that. We
doubt if there is single human be-
ing in the United States who would
deny it. But who are "the people?"
BY "the people" Mr. Roosevelt evil
IDENTIFY means those who have the
franchise-those who can vote.
Therefore, in a state like New York
''the people" comprise about 100000
out of a population of 9,113,279. But
as the people" are never unanimous
about anything, the real people are
only a majority of these 100000.
Dealing roughly in round numbers,
1.-The people" of New York are ap-
proximately 100000 out of a popula-
ton of 100000.
If Mr.. Roosevelt is right and "the
people in their legislative capacity
have the power to enact into law any
measure they deem necessary for the
betterment of social and industrial
conditions" then S,250,000 persons in
New York are at the mercy of $780,
900. Neither courts nor constitutions
may intervene to protect their lives
fancy or passion of the 100000 is the
supreme law of the land.
In 1910 Mr.. Roosevelt's candidate
for governor polled 622,299 votes, but
the democratic candidate, who was
nominated by Boss Murphy, polled
$50, 700. These 6S9,70O were ''the peo-
pie" and according to the Roosevelt
theory of government the 622,299 had
no rights that the 6S9,700 were bound
to respect. If the 6S9,700 who voted
for the Murphy candidate thought it
would better social and industrial
conditions" to confiscate the property
of the 622,299 who voted for the
Roosevelt candidate, their power to
do SO should not be subject to de-
bate" "To hold the contrary view is
to be false to the cause of the people,
to the cause of American democracy"
The Roosevelt proposition is too
ridiculous to be treated seriously.
All of us are "the people" All of
us have inalienable rights. If we are
to have civilized government the
rights of the weakest and meanest
must be held as sacred as the rights
of the strongest and most virtuous.
Majority rule is merely a convenient
method of making government work
able, but the majority is not infalli-
BILE. Neither is it necessarily wiser
than the minority. Certainly it
should have no power to ride rough
shod over any element of the commu-
nifty, no matter what the pretext may
be.
This is a fundamental principle of
government which nobody under
stands better than Mr.. Roosevelt. He
must be infinitely amused at the gull
Utility of the progressive" who
swallowed his demagogic Columbus
speech at single gulp.-World.

The constant voting would disturb
the peace and tranquility of neighbor-
hoods, and the cost of our elections
would bankrupt our municipal state
and federal treasures.
Mr.. Thomas Jefferson never stated
a greater truism than when he said
that the referendum would be imprac-
ticable even for a New England
township.

Tempe Boys Will Be Here for Valley League Game at East
 IaLe Park.

The much heralded baseball contest between the Phoenix and Tempe high schools will take place at East Lake at 2:30 this afternoon. A great deal of enthusiasm has been aroused at the high school and more than twenty prospectives turned out for practice last night. A fast and fur iOus practice game, five innings long. was played with a close score and lots of enthusiasm on the side lines.
 Yesterday evening Coach Jones was not yet ready to announce his lineup. This is not from a lack of good material however, but rather from the abundance of it. Many of the old stars will be back in their positions. but several new players will also appear on the field. The Phoenix battery will be Grable and Johnson Orme will stop most of the Tempe runners at first sack, and either ONei or George will wait for the Creighton at third. and Smith or Harrison at short, will guard the other half of the infield. and Her wig. Corpstein. and McFall or Hol- singer. will pull down the high ones back near the fence.
 These are most of the possibilities but there are lot of others to pick from A good game is assured. with an enthusiastic bunch of high school fans to cheer the locals on to victory.

As the time grows near for the an- swer of the coal operators to make their answer to the miners-March 1$ the feeling increases that there will not be a strike. The belief seems to be general that if there is a strike of the anthracite miners. the bituminOus miners will remain at work and if the bituminous miners strike the anthra- cite miners will remain at work. There are so few due-paying members at present compared with the number Of miners that a strike of both classes would soon deplete the treasury. One point upon which the operators will insist. it is said. is that the contract shall last for over one year. The rep resentatives of the miners say that they are not looking for strike. but will insist upon their dep3nds.
