ance Mir. Roosevelt had delivered a
 speech at Pueblo. Colo. In that
 speech he spoke of well meaning visionaries, doctrinaires. and dema-
 gogues with their new fangled gov
 ernmental fads;" and strange as it
 may seem the steamed Gazette inn
 mediately proclaimed through the medium Of the biggest wood type in
 the shop that Roosevelt was for the
 initiative and referendum. The claim provoked some discussion, which fact was called to Mir Roose- velt's notice by Judge Lewis on the occasion of a dinner in St Paul. When told that some people" in Arizona had so construed his lan- guage Mr. Roosevelt waXed might fly wroth, brought his fist down on the table and said: You tell those people that anybody who can con- strue that language into an endorse ment of the initiative and referen- dunn ought to be confined in the Outhouse of a lunatic asylum"
 Of course, that broke up the party Of course, the steamed Gazette didn't like the place to which Mir. Roosevelt consigned it. Of course, the Gazette cant support NIr. Roose- welt. And since it's real love. MT La Toilette. has been consigned to the demnitiOn bow -wows-why. of course. the Gazette is henceforth and forever Get us hope) a democratic paper.

Drive it Out.

Maybe The Republican wouldn't have said it in just the same lan- guage, but all the same there is vast ly more truth than poetry in the afternoon Democrats remarks about the so-called Afro American club and the necessity for it's suppression There is no excuse for the longer existence of this malodorous or ganiZation. It is d disgrace and q menace. There is no reason why it should be permitted longer to exert it's brutaliZing influence.
 The American club is not a social club. It exists merely as a ve- hicle for the exercise of license and debauchery It is time that this cancer be removed.

The Real Reason.


It is to be regretted that the Gazette. in announcing it's full. final, and more or less everlasting conver- sion to the principles of democracy, did not take the public completely in-that is. dif not take hhe public completely into its confidence by telling all the facts. Doubtless. how ever. the well known modt sty of the paper of the pee-pui' sr pod in the way of such course. au d The Re publican gladly contributes the miss ing chapter to the recent announce ment" ss3
 In any discussion of tthis matter it is always understood that the question of ''perquisites'- has some little weight with the 'pee-puIs paper" It is well known that the Gazette is eternally and yerlastingly opposed to 'privilege''-uIacss it is in on the game It makes it sick at heart to miss its little ra5e-of So. when it became more or less evident late last fall that Arizona was likely to go democratic1 the Ga zette became d democratic paper with d string attached. It didn't take quite all the democuatic dose. It didn't go into the water head over ears. it merely dabbled in the shall lows. And it is only within the past few days that the Gazette has announced that sink or swim, live or die. survive or perish it is d democratic paper-unless it changes its mind.
 Dear reader have you noticed that almost simultaneously there trans pired three occurrences of world wide importance.
 One was the announcement of Mir. RooseveIt's candidacy. The second was the collapse of the La Toilette boom. The third was the conversion of the Gazette.
 And here. gentle reader. is one lit tie fact. If Mir Bob La Toilette had not fallen by the wayside the steamed Gazette would have been republican paper to this day
 Get all republicans rejoice that MT. La Toilette is out of ft)
 But why didn't the steamed Ga zette support Roosevelt? That's the interesting part of the story.
 The Gazette did once support NIT. Roosevelt. you know. It used to pride itself on being the original third term" propagandist. And it continued that support until MT Roosevelt delivered himself of an historic utte rance in the city of St Paul along about eighteen months ago. '

Three Years of Taft.

! At noon today William Howard
 Taft will have completed his third J year as president of the United 1 States. For three years he has been
 the executive head of the greatest
 country in the world.
 In any review of the work accom-
 plished by MT Taft as president it must be mentioned that his services
 to his country have been of the
 most striking and significant char acter But it must also be borne in mind that they have not always been of the kind to win the approval Of
 the moment His work has been in
 no sense superficial and it has been as far as possible removed from the least taint of demagogy. There is one thing that everybody must con cede-no man who ever sat in the presidential chair has a more eX- alted sense of his responsibility and higher regard and more con scientious regard for his personal duty than has Mir Taft.
 mere nave been dozen times when MT Taft could have made himself more popular If he had cared more for the applause of the day than he cared for his own con scence-if he had cared more for personal advantage than he cares for the good of the whole country. he could easily have been one of the most popular chief executives this country has ever known.
 But it is to the everlasting credit .of the man that such a narrow minded course has never appealed to him. With the democrats clamor- ing for the passage of pop-gun tariff bills that meant the destruc- tion of the protective principle, Mir. Taft had the courage and the man. hood to exercise the executive veto. With a powerful and hostile senti- ment opposed to the principle, he declared for arbitration as against war And in a dozen other ways hei has demonstrated his real greatness the greatness that is willing to accept criticism-even calumny- rather than surrender a principle it knows to be right
 There is another thing that every one must admire about Mir. Taft. When he assumed the presidency he declared his belief that the repub lican platform was a contract be- tween himself and the people who elected him; and it is a splendid example of duty well done that he proceeded. so far as lay in his power, to carry out the terms of that con tract
 Finally. perhaps as good an esti- mate of Mir Tafts character and at tainments as has ever been publish ed is that uttered by Theodore Roosevelt. It is as follows:
 .'I do not believe there can be found in the whole country a man so well fitted to be president He is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely disinterested and upright but he has

wide acquaintance with the na-
 tion's need, without and within, and the broadest sympathies with all our citizens. He would be as emphati-
 cally president of the whole people as Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would be freer from the least taint of demagogy, the least tendency to appeal to class hatred of any kind"

Our Perplexing Pronouns.

Prof Thomas Il. Bounsbury in Harper's Magazine
Many are the perplexities that confront
him who seeks TO arrive at satisfactory
solution OF problems connected with the
different parts of our speech. This is
largely due to the fact that there has
been but a comparatively superficial in
vestigation of the usage of the great
writers of the English language. The ac-
complishment Of such task is out of
the power OF any one person to achieve.
He may carry his Investigations far
enough 10 enable him 10 recognize and
the absurdity of assertions constantly and
confidently made. But only limited
portion OF the whole ground can be COW
cred by an individual. To arrive at cor
rect conclusions on all disputed points
would require the labor of band of
scholars working in unison and syste-
matically collecting and collating the evil
dence gathered from the examination of
the whole body of our best literature.
This is work which has never been
done. So far. indeed. is ii from having
been done that il has never been even
attempted. Yet until il is done the field
is left open To every sciolist who has
the effrontery to- substitute his hastily
formed notions for the results OF thor
Ough Investigation
Perp!exing as are such questions in the
ease OF every one of the parts of speech,
those connected with the pronoun are
the greatest in number and difficulty.
About none others have so many gram
matical conflicts ragged. The problems
presented have in certain cases never
been settled decisively, save in tire minds
of those who have scrupulously refrained
from any attempt TO impair preconceived
