Anent a Third Party.

The stronger Theodore Roose-
welt looms up on the political no.
rizon, the more general becomes
the speculation as to whether
ne would be the candidate of a
third party in the event that he
fails to land the Republican pres
idential nomination. This paper
believes firmly that the Colonel
will lead new party should he
be defeated at Chicago, and we
have 80 predicted.
In the news dispatches of yes
terday we find the following re-
port of a visit of newspaper men
to Oyster Bay, the home Cf Col
onel Roosevelt:
Asked point-blank today
whether or not he would bolt the
Republican party and run for
President as an independent if
ne is not nominated at Chicago,
Roosevelt smilingly replied:
Gentlemen, / have nothing to
say about boiling the party in
the event | am not nominated. "
In our mind there is no ques-
ton of the fact that Theodore
Roosevelt is satisfied in his own
mind that the American people
want him for President for a
third term. And with this con-
viction on his part it is not
reasonable to suppose that a man
of his boundless energy and i'm
petuosity will permit a political
gathering such as the Chicago
convention will be, to deprive
him Of the opportunity to offer
himself to the people. And he
will not wait until 1916 to do it.
1t is going to be done this year
either as the Republican nomi-
nee, or the nominee Of some third
party. F. Clarksburg Exponent.

The Red Cross Congress.

While its office is to mitigate
the horrors of war and to relieve
the sufferings, there is in the
spirit of the Red Cross a neces-
sary antagonism to the spirit of
war. said Senator Root in his adj
dress of welcome to delegates to
the international Red Cross con-
ference now meeting in Washing
ton. He expressed his conviction
that the organization is giving
impetus to the cause of univer-
sal peace, and his hope that its
destiny will be worked out in
such manner that eventually
the Red Cross will not be needed
for its original purpose.
Senator Roots view is optimis-
tic indeed, yet his picture of
worldwide tranquility is not i'm
possible of realization. Thirty
two countries are represented at
the present congress. 1t is a
gathering of delegates from near
ly all the civilized nations, and
behind them are elements labor
ing for the peace and well being
OF mankind throughout the
world. This union of effort, in
which there is no distinction of
race, creed or nationality, should
in time produce such result as
