tutional. Is it at all probable
that a majority of voters would
be better judges of what is con-
stitutional than the nine great
jurists of the Supreme court? Is
not the Colonel little bit off in
these matters? He is not a law
yer, of course, and that may be
the reason of his wild theories.
The Colonel says that Lincoln
loved liberty. And so he did; so
did Washington and Hamilton,
Madison. Monroe and Andrew
Jackson, but not one of them
put the Supreme court in a posi-
tion to be recalled by a majority
of voters. The Supreme court
is the final resort. They are cho-
sen to decide questions. Many
voters are without any knowl-
edge of the constitution. Many
thousands have never read that
document, and many could not
read it if they tried. How could
they be competent to overrule
the decisions of the Supreme
court?

parties he pledged himself not to
be a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination in 1912. How
ever, he says that he did not say
he would not accept a nomina-
tion if rendered him. The Col
onel has a string to his promises.
Is there any real difference be-
tween the two things? Judging
from the great activities of the
Colonel we would say that there
is none. Through his friends he
is making a diligent effort to Sc
cure delegates favorable to his
cause. He has selected a man
to conduct his pre-convention
campaign, Senator Dixon, who
is straining every nerve to pro-
mote the choosing of Col, Roose-
welt. What a man does through
another he does it himself, is a
well established principle. and
according to it Col. Roosevelt is
an active, energetic candidate.
Moreover, the ex-president in
the columns of the Outlook is
writing in his own interest. Put
ting these things together we
must conclude that Theodore
Roosevelt is an active candidate,
as much so as any other of the
we'll known candidates on both
sides.
Will the Republican conven-
ton nominate him? Can the con-
vention do it without changing
the policy of the great party?
There are several bars to the
nomination of Col. Roosevelt.
The third term business is a SER
ious bar to it. It is not likely
that the convention will repudi-
ate the example Of Washington.
1t will not forget the failure to
nominate Grant for a third term.
Grant was a much greater ma
tional hero than Roosevelt.
Furthermore, the President is
entitled to the second nomination
by the long custom Of the party
and by his wise, conscientious
and faithful administration. The
party would suffer by the turn
ing down of Taft for the sake of
giving Roosevelt a third term.
The convention will not do it.
In addition to the foregoing it
must be remembered that the ex-
president is not a straight Re-
publican. The party in it's plat
forms has never promulgated the
principles advocated by the ex-
president in his Columbus speech.
The recall Of judges and their
decisions on constitutional ques-
tions is not Republicanism at all.
It is more like the populism of
twenty years ago, which was re-
pudiated by the nation.
Col. Roosevelt in defense Of
that Columbus speech declares
that he breaches nothing new;
which is true in one sense. tits
