ROOTS DOWNFALL.

Once upon a time Dlihu Root was
Theodore Roosevelt's Secretary of
War. Then he was Theodore Roose-
velt's Chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Convention. Then he was
Theodore Roosevelt's Secretary of
State. Then he was elected to the
United States Senate through the poll
tical influence of Theodore Roosevelt.
Theodore Roosevelt described him as
the ablest man in the public life of
this or any other country"
But those were the pure and idyllic
days of Mr.. Roots service as counsel
for Thomas F. Ryan, of his service as
| counsel for the Metropolitan Trac-
ton crowd. of his service as counsel
for the Tobacco Trust, of his service
to Theodore Roosevelt. They were
the days described by Edward H. Har-
riman in these bitter words:
Ryan's success in all his manip-
ulations, traction deals, tobacco
combination, manipulation of the
State Trust Company into the
Western National Bank and then
again into the Bank of Commerce
thus covering up his tracks
has been done by the adroit mind
of Elihu Root.
Since quitting the service of Ryan
and the Tobacco Trust and the trac-
ton looters, Elihu Root has fallen.
Billy Barnes has debauched him. Taft
has polluted his guileless young mind.
Root has sunk to so low a depth of
degradation that he thinks Roosevelt
should not have third term and that
Taft deserves denomination. With
tears dripping from his pen, Mr..
Roosevelt repudiates him as one whu
stands as the representative of the
men and the policies of reaction"
The downfall of Elihu Root from a
Ryan-Roosevelt manipulation to a Taft
supporter is one Of the most tragic
traedies of history. Such a man is
morally unfit to explain to honest
Republicans why Roosevelt did not
forfeit his legal residence in New
York by swearing off his personal
taxes.-New York World.

NEW SPEED MARKS SET
FOR REPLACING TIRES

One Of the interesting features Of
the Memorial Day race Of 500-miles
at the Indianapolis Speedway was the
rapid manner in which tires were
changed. With one exception all the
cars to finish we're equipped with
Michelin tires. One Michelin was
changed on the winning National in
thirty seconds, hardly giving Dawson
the driver time to get drink Of water.
Two men In the press stand timed
a change on DePalma's car in twenty
three seconds, and II this is true an
other speed record was established

DEMocRAcY's AR
RESTED GROWTH.

The full strength of the Democratic
party is not sufficient to elect Presi-
dent this year. 1t is probably true that
any one OF several aspirants might
carry the organization, such as it is,
solidly to the polls, but what good
would that do if he failed to gain the
favor Of dissatisfied Republicans, in
dependents and young men who have
not yet voted Democratic ticket?
We have only to refer to the election
tables for sixteen years past to see
that numerically the Democratic party
is in a decline:

Democratic Republican

In 1896 the Republican vote in.
creased almost 100000 and the Dem.
ocratic vote almost 100000. Since
then the Republicans have gained
steadily and the Democrats have lost.
Nearly 100000 fewer Democrats went
to the polls in 1908 than in 1896, and
yet the population has increased more
than 20 per cent. A party that does
not grow cannot elect Presidents.
How is the Democratic party to gain
new life and new strength? Not by
subscribing to the Bourbonic doctrine
that amy Democrat" can be elected!
Not by choosing for leadership man,
no matter how acceptable to organiza.
ton Democrats he may be. who makes
no powerful appeal elsewhere! Not
by refusing the proffers of assistance
which hundreds Of thousands Of good
citizens long estranged from Democ-
racy are making on every handl
Harmon or Clark or Underwood
might hold the Democratic vote at the
six-million figure, but to be elected the
candidate must be one who can enter

him busy. As a boy he had blown a

now commanded swept into the fight

to West Point to put the finishing
polish upon an education acquired in
actual campaigning. Graduating in
