Roosevelt undertook to demonstrate
that his plan for recalling court deci-

He pointed out that II applied only TO

indicated that 1t could not be used
to express n sudden burst of passion
because actual operation of the re.
versal could not be made effective In
less than two years, Carefully he ex.
planned that the people now have the
power to recall court decisions by
amending the constitution, and that
his proposal at most only fastened
the process. All this is the truth,
but is is not the whole truth. The

Roosevelt Not Gaining.

Lincoln Journal: One week ago
this morning the presidential candi-
dacy of Mr.. Roosevelt was announced.
The disappointment it caused among
considerable number of his friends
has not been dispelled by the events
of, the week Fully as they expected
a disturbing storm, they were not pre-
pared for the chorus of abuse and
denunciation that Immediately broke
around the head of the eX.president.
Everything in that line foreseen by
this paper last Monday morning has
arrived, but in greater volume and vir.
ility than could have been anticipated.
The conservative press of the country
has lost it's oldtime poise and serenity.
It is nervous to the point of flighty
irritability. There must be something
extraordinary in the situation to stir
it up to such an excess Of excitement
SO far as the practical progress Of
the Roosevelt candidacy is concerned,
it cannot be said that it has gone any
distance during the week

best presidents the country has ever
had.
The people realize this and they are
going to rebuke this action on the
part Of Col. Roosevelt by decisive
vote. The most dangerous thing In
connection with Roosevelt's candi-
dacy is the precedent it would estab.
fish for a continuation indefinitely of
one man as president. The precedent
of retiring after the second term was
established by Washington and has
been strictly adhered to by all presi.
dents with one exception. and he was
badly defeated. 1t has been predicted
by some that II Roosevelt is nominal

The Taft headquarters in Omaha

Roosevelt men will please throw
their hats in the ring and answer
these questions:
Does Mr.. Roosevelt recognize there

Has he Investigated the cause of
the financial panic of 1907, during his
last administration which caused fl.

Does he mean the Wall street peo-
pie or the laboring people shall rule
Is he ready to explain the giant
steel merger which he permitted in
1907, and in which the promoter alone
received $20,OOO,OOO bonus?
viii he explain soon to the public
why that same promoter is now one
of the chief promoters of his cam.

an active candidate sometime since
and the convention had been held
month ago, ii is hard to tell what the
result would have been, but the peo-
pie are having time to consider the
situation from a sane standpoint and
this is daily adding to Taft's popular

carried off their feet by wave of

have time to think proposition over
soberly they usually do the right

realize the absolute injustice Of Col.

When the postoffice was thrown

however, had TO be deposited for the

A Claim of Bad Faith,

belief upon the theory that the coun-
try must have him, it is not likely
that the devoted friends of Mr. Roose.

even gone further with respect to Mr..
La Toilette. Now comes Mr.. Walter
l.. Houser, chairman of the La Fol
lette national committee, who says,
according to reputed interview at
Portland, Ore. Roosevelt, through a
mutual friend sent La Toilette word
that he would not have his name con-
Sidered in any manner as a candidate"
Whether he would like it so or not, if
on the large body of open-minded re-
publcans who, as yet, have not defin-
itely decided whose leadership to fol-
low. Such position as this is new
one for Mr.. Roosevelt, if it can be
established clearly that he did give
Mr.. La Toilette such assurance. The
reasons given for not abiding by the
statement made on Nov. s, 1904,
as to a second term, as interpreted
by very many persons, obviously
could not answer as an excuse for
not regarding pledge given as late
as three months ago We do not know
how many voters will stick to La
Toilette through thick and thin.
Surely great many will go over to
| Roosevelt as Pinchot, Mccormick and
other anti.Taft men have done. 1t is
also probable that the Taft forces
will be recruited pretty largely from
