DO We WANT
ANOTHER PARTY?

Theodore Roosevelt has seen fit to
sever life long friendships; to break the
most solemn pledges; to 90 to the last
extremes of radicalism To think that
a most serious condition does not con-
front his party and country, in the
mind of this eminent man, is the gross
est irony and an insult to the intelligence
OF the people of the United States. In
our mind Col. Roosevelt has greatly
exaggerated the ills Of the country and
the virtues of his own nostrums. But
the Republicans must keep in mind one
thing and that is that man who will
go to the lengths already gone to by
Mr.. Roosevelt will not hesitate to go
another step. In other words to justi-
fly himself in rebuking friends, repu-
dating pledges and breaking faith, he
must repudiate the republican nominee 3
for the presidency in case it is not Col.
Roosevelt. Such a condition must ex-
ist in the republican party and IN this
country, that there is only one man
capable of saving them. and that man
case, Roosevelt's failure to land the
republican nomination will force him
to head an independent ticket Other
wise his present candidacy is simply
the result of vain, selfish ambition. To
be sure he now says that he will sup
port the nominee of the Chicago con
vention, whoever he may be. Not
many months ago he said that under
NO circumstances would he again be a
candidate for the presidency. Force oi
circumstances altered his former pledge
and force of circumstance may again
change his mind. At least it is not un.
fair to Mr.. Roosevelt to say that he il
subject to change of mind at most any
moment.
Assuming so much. republicans whit
are republicans from principle, ant
who have a firm belief in the policies o
government advocated by the party
must hesitate long before they take t.
themselves such q man, and entrns
him with their leadership. They shoul,
not permit him to develop strength
enough in the Chicago convention b
make decent showing, for the simpl
reason, that in case he does he vii
have at hand the nuclens of his mex
party. Already his supporters are pas
ing the way for bolt in case they
not control. They are accusing til

The chain-gang had been working
in the street not far from Miss Mi
nerva's house, and Lima, Frances, Billy
and Jimmy had hung on her front
fence for an hour, watching them with
eager interest. The negroes were
chained together in pairs, and guard
ed by two, big, burly white men.

This arrangement was satisfactory.

and soon returned with short chain

Twins and a Sissy.

Twins and Sissy.
Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Black were
sitting on Miss Minerals veranda talk

were in the swing with Billy. The at
traction proved too great for Jimmy;
he impolitely left a disconsolate little
visitor sitting on his own porch while
he jumped the fence and joined the
other children.

greeting as he took his seat by Billy.
