CHEWING AND CHEWING.


Governor Wilson makes pathetic
plea against the ranards that creep
into newspapers, but that have some
substantial basis. He cites the in
stance Of bis having jokingly said in
speech that where men we're gath
cred about chewing tobacco, there
thinking was being done, aud was
astonished to see his remark take on
column proportions as the story grew,
until he was featured as setting forth
many reasons why chewing was de-
velopiag to the mind.
1t hss always been the case that
stories grow as they pass from lip to
liz, and often stories grow as tkey
pass from newspaper 70 newspaper
without intentional purpose to pre-
vert Of to misrepressut. A similar
irssaaee Is that story ii one of the
Southern paper 70 the effect that the
mayor Of a certain city, who is ex-
emplnry in his habits, had in a drunk
en- joy ride, performed the buffoon
ACT Of calling out the frs department
when, as a matter Of fact he had
soberly and officially called ont the
department because there had been
criticism Of the time taken to reach
recent fire, and he desired to time
the department in its service.
Il is difficult to provide against
human errancy and human DISPOSE
ton to construe things through ones
own mentality v hen one Is not pos
sessed Of all the facts, 50 that while
D Wilson advocates an inexpensive
way to get newspapers punished that
are guilty Of petty mis- representations
the problem is not possible Of such
handling. From he days of duck
ins stools for gossips and scandal
Tnongers the situation complained OF
has existed, and in some form or
other will always exist
There is one safeguard, however,
against misquotation of the kind to
which Governor Wilson takes right
eous exception-for the incident was
annoying-and that is for public
men when, colloquially speaking,
chewing the rag, not to give sensa-
tion-mongers anything to miscontsrue
in the newspapers. The inference
from the the remark Of the speaker
was not without legitimacy and was
brought about by desire upon his
part the legitimacy of which may
be questioned---to tiatter the country
store philosophers, whose expectora-
ting Of tobacco juice is disgusting to
ladies who have to resort to those
stores, however it may be helpful to
the cogitations Of those engaged upon
the illumination of the Democratic
platform. That fluency and levity
in speech is not always conducive
to safety in utterance, is the moral to
be drawn from the tobacco-chewing
episode.

THE BULL MOOSE PARTY

The Bull Moose Party was formal
ly launched at Chicago this week and
has set its sails to the winds under
the name Of @the Progressive Par
ty." Tie party convention organic
ed on Monday at Chicago and adj
journed on Wednesday after adopt
ing a platform and nominating its
boss, Theodore Roosevelt. for Presi-
dent, and his most ardent disciple
Governor johnson, Of California, for
Vic President.
The Bull Moose Party is now a
separate and distinct political organ
ization from the others now in ex-
istence in this country.
The interest displayed by the
country in the convention was very
mild indeed being largely Of that
class, Indifferent but anxious with
curiosity to see what kind of an or
ganization juggle would be iesorted
to in the endeavor to conceal the
emptiness and nothingness behind
the mush room third party move
ment. The Convention was, il any,
thing, nothing but an absolute one
man convention. 1t was Roosevelt
Convention, conceived and brought
to life by him alone. The thousand
or so delegates were mere pawns III
the game and tie convention mere
bluff as far as representing popular
opinion is concerned. The conven-
ton organization was dictated by
Roosevelt, he made his desired speech
before it, the cred initials committee
settled its contests to suit him, he
was nominated as he wished and his
friend, Governor johnson, likewise
was named because he wanted him
and the platform was dictated by
him. A Roosevelt convention from
beginning to end. 1t would perhaps
been more appropriate had he called
the new party, the Roosevelt party
since that is all it is in fact.
Now that the third party has been
launched and spread its sails to the
winds the country awaits to see what
it is going to do.
conservative people who look at
this movement from a sensible and
reasonable light believe that beyond
the question Of doubt that the new
party will draw more votes from the
Democratic pe=ty than from the Re
publican party.
1t is well, known that Col. Roose-
welt is far more popular among the
democrats than republicans. No
argument can be made by the third
party about any steam roller methods
after the work of their party at
Chicago this week. Every action of
the convention was effected by the
steam roller, Col Roosevelt hin self
The platform adopted by the conven-
is simply declaration of Roosevelt
faith, leaning more to socialism or
anarchy rather than to broad and
strong principles Of the government.
The natural deduction from the
whole proceedings of the convention,
is that Theodore Roosevelt, the
phenomenal egotisi, wise beyond all
other men in his own conception
would make this a one man govern
ment with himself as the originating
source and distributing agency Of all
power and authority. He offers him
self as dictator-an autocrat.
