The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1912-02-28

We have not deserted Roosevelt.
He has deserted us. He stands where
Bryan stood when he voted against
Bryan. The same reasons which i'm
PEELED us to oppose Bryan then would
impel us to oppose Roosevelt now. If
possible he has outBryaned Bryan. He
is more radical than the old leader Of
democracy ever dared to be. Laying
aside all personal equations, much as
we love Roosevelt for the record of
his administration, we cannot follow
him into the camp of populism, nor
can we ask others to do so. Our first
political allegiance is not to Taft, not
to Roosevelt, not to any man, but to
the republican party which has with.
stood the storms of passion and of
prejudice in the past, which has been
a very Gibralter of sane, good govern
ment and in which we still have great
est faith, in spite of assaults from
without and the still more dangerous
assaults from within. We are stead
fast for the denomination of the pres.
ident, not only because We believe
in his personality, not alone because
we think he deserves denomination,
but because we are still republicans
with a capital R and because we re-
fuse to bow down to false idols, even
7 nd n q
voice of Roosevelt.

any man. 1t means more than the re-
ward of the faithful service of Presi-
dent Taft or the qualification of the
spectacular Roosevelt
To these loyal, lifelong republicans
there seems to be but one excuse for
the candidacy OF Roosevelt II the re-
publican party confronts a great
crisis, if it has outlived it's usefulness
as at present constituted, if it's pro-
longed existence is a menace to the
republic, then and then only could
there be an excuse for the Roosevelt
candidacy.
Mr.. Roosevelt knows that he invites
the overwhelming defeat of the party.
He knows that only after such con-
f1ict as will necessarily leave the
party too weak and too divided to
meet the onslaughts of the opposi-
ton, can he possibly be nominated.
His letter of announcement gives no
explanation Of any such crisis as
would justify his candidacy and in
truth there is none. The country as
a whole has been doing we'll. There
are grave problems, but they have
been met and are being met in a seri
Gus and statesmanlike way. They are
we'll on towards solution. In fact it
is only by stealing the most populistic
thunder that Mr. Roosevelt can raise
any issue worthy of the name.
The republicans are not only asked
to name Mr.. Roosevelt, but they are of
necessity asked to adopt as their own
the very revolutionary ideas advocat-
ed in his most recent public utter
ances. If we nominate Roosevelt we
must not only be the party of the
much talked of square deal" but we
must be the party of the initiative
and the referendum an. he recall, we
must be the party that would advo-
cate a reputation of our courts and
Of our entire system of republican
government. fOT Our own part we
are not prepared to join the populists
no matter under what attractive title
it may now parade. We could support
either Taft or Roosevelt on a repub-
lican platform, but We could support
neither Of them on the populist, social
ist, democratic, mongrel proposed by
the former titular head of the repub-
lican party.
If Colonel Roosevelt had proposed
that the constitution be abrogated,
that we should proceed hereafter as
does the British government, without
written constitution, we could have
seen much good in the proposition.
But he urges that we should have a
constitution and still not have one,
that we should make monkeys of the
supreme court, that we should retain
a farcical constitution and a farcical
court, both of which should be revers-
ibleat will by majority vote of the
people. The proposition is not only
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1912-02-28
A REPUBLICAN PROBLEM.

Theodore Roosevelt has declared
that he will accept the nomination fol-
president and he must hereafter be
considered an active candidate. The
announcement, though not exactly un
expected, is still fraught with deep
meaning to the man who has fought a
lifetime in the ranks of the republic
can party.
1t is much more than the choice be
tween two men. 1t is situation
which invites the destruction OF the
party. In this latter day we have been
urged to regard the party lightly, but
there are very many to whom repub
licanism means great deal. There
are some who have been with the
party since first it triumphed with
the immortal Lincoln as its standard
bearer There are many who have
followed it to victory after victory,
who have felt glad to be even humble
part of its great accomplishments, who
have gone down to defeat with it,
yielding to superior numbers, but not
yielding in their loyalty. To such as
these the present plight OF the great
party comes with more than a pass
ing pang It's disruption would mean
the loss of dear and trusted friend,
it would invite the breaking of the
of a lifetime and the
giving UP of ideas and principles
which mean very much.
To such men the life and vitality
If the republican party means more

revolutionary, but it is absurd. We
have always believed that the acid
test to apply to any proposition was
to reduce it to it's simplest and most
absurd terms and then to see how it
would work.
Let us suppose that the congress
passed desirable law, some thing for
which the people had a strong desire
and which was morally right and
proper. Suppose that this law direct
ly violated the express terms of the
constitution. The law, having been
passed. goes before the supreme court
and this body, without passing on the
desirability of the law, rules, as is ap-
parent to everyone, that it violates
the constitution. Thereupon, under
the Roosevelt plan. there would be a
special election and the people would
solemnly declare that the supreme
court should be reversed, that the
constitution did not mean what it
said in express terms and that the
law should be the law of the land. The
result, so far as the particular law is
concerned, might be commendable, but
what OF the absurdity? If we are to
proceed without constitution, that
is one proposition, but the intricate
machinery by which Mr.. Roosevelt
would have US declare that the consti-
tuition was unconstitutional is beneath
the dignity of serious considerations.
We say it with sorrow and with deep
regret, that it sounds to us like the
yeriest clap-trap, unsafe, unsound, in
sane and above all ridiculous.
We have intense admiration for the
Roosevelt of the past. He accom-
plished much of good for the Ameri-
can people, He has not solved the
problem as to what should be done
with our eX-presidents, but we believe
the people will solve the problem for
him and that the answer of the repub-
licans will be that lney do not believe
in a third term for any man, that the
republican party is still a republican
party and not populist party, that
it still retains the saving grace of COM
mon sense and that not even Ma
poleon or a Roosevelt can lead it eth
er towards the Scylla of dictatorship
or the Charybidis of unconstitutional
government
Whom the Gods would destroy,
they first make mad" 1t seems to us
that Roosevelt has been driven fairly
insane by the hero-worship and the
adulation of which he has been the
victim In many ways, however, he
has shown himself an astute polite
ian. He has allowed the progressives
to pull his chestnuts out of the fire,
TO create the agitation, to impaie them
selves as victims. He has clutched
the standard from the clinging hands
of sick and PROSTATE leader and has
taken from him the laurels fairly won.
He has become the residuary legatee
of an unwilling and protesting insur.
gency. He has deserted his friends
and has pre-empted the camp of his
enemies.
We cannot but believe that the
sensible, true-hearted republicans will
remain steadfast in their support of
the president We believe that he
should be and will be renominated.
For our part We would prefer defeat
with Taft and republican platform
than victory with Roosevelt and the
misbegotten and will nigh anarchistic
principles which he has borrowed from
all the hair-brained cranks in the re.
public.

Crawford County State bank, as it ap-
peared on the 14th Of this month. The
statement is a creditable one and
shows the hank to be in splendid con-
dition. Some one recently inquired
how it was that the DenisOn banks
made such a fine showing. The only
answer could be that they simply re-
tiected the prosperity of the commun-
ity. There can be little surprise at
the prosperous showing of the banks
when most Of the farmers and great
many other people OF the community
have surplus on hand after paying
their living expenses and obligations.
We trust the time will never come
when this community will not have
a surplus after paying obligations and
expenses.
Word has been received in Deni-
son from Mrs. Chas. Bartcher, who
recently underwent an operation at
Rochester, Mimi. that the operation
was very successful and every indi-
cation points to speedy recovery.
This will be good news to the many
friends of Mrs Bartcher in the city.
Alfred Wright took possession of
the postotfice on Sunday and is now
the full fledged postmaster OF Deni-
son. He seems to be very much at
ease. and without question will be
able to hold the job down with proper
dignity.
