ration had embarked on feverish
Course of violent oscillation which
\ ould be fraught with great temporary
ouble and would produce no adequate
good in the end.
THE true friend of reform, the
/ ,ue foe to abuses, is the man who
steadily perseyeres in righting wrongs,
il warning against abuses, but whose
character and training are such that
IL never promises what he cannot
arform, that he always a little more
ian makes good what he does
promise, and that, while steadily adj
aancing, he never permits himself to
lie led into foolish excuses which
would damage the very cause he
Champions.
In Mr.. Taft we have man who
combines all of these qualities to a
Gegree which no other man in our
i ublic life since the civil war has
surpassed"
] If this correctly describes and char
acterizes Mr.. Taft, why should Mr..
Roosevelt desire to displace him, and
why should any progressive desire to
GUST him from Office for Mr.. Roose-
Ivelt's benefit?
For several reasons Mr.. Roosevelt
ought not to be nominated. First, be-
cause Mr. Taft deserves reuomina.
ton and should not be Inundated by
rejection. Again the party would
make itself ridiculous by rejecting the
President, thus branding him as un-
iworthy>or incompetent, and by select.
J prominent plank in whose platform at
present is the recall of court decisions
by majority vote at the polls. In
addition. Mr. Roosevelt as the nomi
|, nee, would be weighed down by the OBJ
lection to a third term and by the be
: cans that in accepting a nomination
, he had broken his word. Can the
party afford to commend in its plat
. form its executive and legislative work
, of four years, and to withhold re
, nomination from the President sc
, responsible for a large part of it?
Mr.. Roosevelt and his party, if he
should be the nominee would have
i heavy burdens to carry, and not the
least of these would be the treatment
, of Mr.. Taft, his friend. The ex-Presi
dent has been accustomed to extol
the virtues of the square deal" II
, he should wrest the nomination from
the President, would he be able TO say
, that a square deal had been given tc
Mr.. Taft by himself? Can he now say
that even in his preliminary canvass
there has been square deal for either
Mr. Taft or Mr.. LaF'ollette? Does he
relish the frequently published asser
tion that he has stabbed his old friend
in the back to satisfy his own ambi
ton? The third term objection, the
promise given in 1904, the recall Of
court decisions and divided party
would be heavy weights, but wide
spread disapproval of Mr. Roosevelt's
treatment of Mr.. Taft might be as
great a burden as any of these. The
American people like fair play.

Returns Indicate That Constitutional

Returns at the state capitol from

COMMISSION WILL
EXAMINE SCHRANK
RooseveIt's AssaiIant Pleads
Guilty at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Nov. 13.-John Schrank
pleaded guilty of attempting to MUIR
der Theodore Roosevelt and in his
plea he sought to distinguish between
an assault upon Roosevelt as men
ace" and an attack upon Roosevelt
as citizen.
Municipal Judge Backus, in appoint
ing a commission to act as a part of
his court in determining the mental
condition of Schrank, made it clear
that the assailant would not. by the
alienists' finding, be in position to
escape sentence under his plea Of
guilty, or sentence under jury de-
termination, if at future date sanity
having been restored Schrank should
demand jury trial and be convicted.
