Just at present we fear that this
progressive movement is too closely
identified with certain Roosevelt to
become popular. Mr.. Roosevelt is ad-
mired by his countrymen but they do
not seem to take very kindly to this
third-term racket. IT Roosevelt wants
to render service to the progressive
cause he will have to get behind some
other man than himself. He cannot
make his own campaign winner for
the reason that the rank and file of
Americans do not like the idea of a
man getting the notion that the polite
al salvation of the nation depends upon
himself. Roosevelt has had all the
honors that it is possible for the Amer
lean people to confer upon anyone.
His ambition should be satisfied, his
thirst for power appeased. He should
hereafter be willing to serve his
country as a private citizen-as such
he would accomplish greatly. In the
role of an ambitious Caesar, he is
doomed to disappointment. Had
Roosevelt in Chicago put up fight for
some strong progressive, other than
himself. there never would have been
any call for third party. The people
will not tolerate glaring selfishness,
not even in men whom they admire

The Bun Moose: His acteristics

Inc DUH A0O0es his NnAINCt0I4otlCs
The Rev. VIM. j. Long, naturalist,
browsing through the writings of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. naturalist, discovered
what seemed to him gross inaccuracies
in the recital of characteristics of GER
tain animals. and published these to
the world. Thereupon Mr.. Roosevelt
jumped upon the Rev. MIR. Long with
both feet, called him mature fakir"
and flung him into association with the
Ananias club.
Nothing daunted, Bro. Long struck
back and waged merry war until the
public ear lost interest. Now, with the
Bull Moose as Theodore Roosevelt's
hand picked emblem of the third party,
Bro. Long takes up discussion of his
the Bull Moose qualities, leaning fire.
quently for support of his own conclu-
sions upon Mr.. Roosevelt's writings.
"The bull moose" MIR. Long recites,
elves on the public dom ain and is
very wasteful feeder. He is of wan
dering and Eighty disposition. His
flesh, moreover, is coarse and stringy;
his hide is thick and of very poor
quality, as T. Roosevelt says, and he
ought to know.
1.-THE bull moose never steals; he
simply takes what he wants. He has
fed on public property so long that he
considers it all rightfully his.
"a curious fact about the bull moose
at moments of emotional excitement is
that he really answers call and comes
headIong to meet it. In many ways
the bull moose shows symptoms of
emotional flights and of a disordered in.
tellect. AS T. Roosevelt says Up. 229),
he frequently shows a clumsy slow
ness of apprehension which amounts to
downright stupidity"
"Another noticeable characteristic
of the bull moose is his inordinate and
Interchangeable selfishnsss. Whether
roaming the woods in solitude, or tear
ing up the earth, or coming headlong
to the call, he is thinking, first, last
and all the time, of the safety of his
own skin and the fullness of his own
stomach.
Further indications of the bulls es-
sential selishness are found in his fire.
quent abuse and browbeating of all
other moose that are smaller than him
self. He cannot tolerate a rival, but
flies into jealous rage at the first sug>
gestion that there is any other bull
moose in the universe.
Mr.. Long finds the bull moose very
fond of bright lights attracted by
them, in fact-and this he considers
another excellent reason for its serv-
ing as the emblem of the Theodore
party. Another trait he notes, and
wonders if it is not also applicable
the faculty of getting nice soft,
warm and easy-to-lie-in bed by the
simple process of driving from it's own
some deer of lesser pugnacity. -Tele-

and attempt to make your money talk
for you. According to the attorney

legislature makes betting in Iowa a
crime punishable by a years Jail sen.
tence. The matter was put up to the
attorney generals office in these two
questions: ~
First-Is there anything in the cleo.
ton laws which prohibits anyone from
betting on any candidate?
Seconds anyone who has made q
wager or bet on the result of an cleo.
ton disqualified from voting?
Special Counsel Lee. answered the
questions for Attorney General Cosson.
AS to the first question he said:
"The making Of any bet or wager
on the result of any election or on the
success or failure of any candidate for
any Office is crime under our laws.
The penalty provided is not to exceed
one years Imprisonment in the county
Jail or fine not to exceed $500 or
both"
/ AS to the right of the bettor to vote
the opinion says:
"No matter how vicious the practice
of betting may be, it would not dis
qualify one, participating therein from
voting"
OF course, the man who bets a quar-
ter's worth of cigars with his friend
or the young fellow who wagers box
of chocolates with his best girl on the
election should not count too much on
the answer to this second question.
The constitution provides that he still
has his vote although convicted of the
heinous offense of betting two bits on
an election, but the constitution can't
send carriage to take him to the
polls II he is languishing in jail, pay
ing the penalty for his foul crime.
What ridiculous lengths state legisla-
lures can go to-.

LINcoLN ON ROOSEVELT.

The New York Sun has IOunu
speech delivered by Abraham Lin
coin in the days before the civil war
md before Lincoln became a great
character of history which 1t believes
applies directly to Colonel Roosevelt.
Lincoln was addressing the Young
Mems club of Springfield, ILL.,, and the
following are paragraphs taken from
that speech as quoted in the Gen.
tenary edition of Lincoln's WORKS,
edited by DR.. Marion Mills Miller OF
Princeton university:
Ambitious men will spring up VINO

when Lincoln made this speech, but

events made it plain that in Roose-

coin has in mind.

SAYS INTERVENTION
TALK Is ABSURD
Harry Otis sandberg Talks on Con.

Touching upon the present unsettled
condition OF Mexican affairs in an ad-
dress before the Collegiate Club, in
Eighth Street Temple. last night. Harry
Otis, Sandberg. confidential assistant to
Director John Barrett. OF the Pam
American Union. characterized the talk
OF Intervention by the United States as
absurd.
''If Americans in Mexico do not like
the conditions there at present. or fear
injury. let them get out said Mr.. sand
herg. "Mexicans must work out their
own salvation. 1t took us four years
Of war and turmoil to cement our gov
eminent. What II some European coun-
try should have interfered in our case?
IF the United States should send one
troop across the Rio Grande We would
find ourselves with a war upon our hands
which would cost us thousands OF dol
lars and destroy the bonds OF trust and
friendship between us and all the pro-
gressive republics OF the southern hemi-
sphere. which have taken so much effort
and time to establish"
Mr. Sandberg spoke upon Latin Ameri-
can affairs. a subject upon which he is a
recognized authority. He dwelt on the
rapid development Of South American
trade, pointing out that there was no
good reason why the American exporter
should not receive proportionately
much greater share than he does at pres
ent.
To increase our business with Latin
America is. he said. but a matter of be-
coming acquainted. He said that IL was
not generally known that in progressive
administration. feats Of engineering. and
in high general culture the republics OF
South America stood upon equal terms
with the United States and the leading
countries of Europe.
To increase our trade and strengthen
our friendly relations with these repub-
lies Of the South. he concluded. is a mat
