COLONEL ROOSEVELT OUT AGAIN,

Jhe tremendous ovation given TO
Colonel Roosevelt in New York on
Wednesday evening OIL the occasion ot
ms first pubic appearance after being
shot in Mllwamkcc, on October lith. j.
| thrillIugly reported IN the dispatches.
| The Governor OF California acted as
'cnrta an raiser, but nothing especial
was doing until Colonel Roosevelt ap-
pcared, when the vast throng which
had assembled there TO welcome HIM
went wild with JOY and enthusiasm.
Much Of this was no doubt in rejoicing
at the Colonel 5 recovery, rather than
political Endorsement
The subjects discussed by Colonel
| Roosevelt were in a general way on the
same lines that he has spoken hereto
fore in the campaign. But it is note,
worthy that his address was couched in
more moderate language. was in a
calmer spirit, and showed more signs Of
siderate towards opponents than here
tofore. This. shows, doubtless. that
Colonel Roosevelt has taken to heart
tho lesson that violence begets vo.
lence, and that moderation and tenn
perateness Of speech are especially be-
coming TO American public men
At the same time, Colonel Roosevelt
did not fail to make very clear his con.
tentiou that the people ought to
rule, that he has the utmost faith in
them. and that anything that stands in
the way of popular rule must be swept
away, Right here, however, is where
the fallacy Of his general position
comes in. For in vast country like
this. there Is no possible way whereby
the direct popular will can be put into
effect. save through the forms Of
representative government established
by the Fathers and found eminentIy
satisfactory by the American people
hitherto. The idea that the people can
get direct action on the various 9ues-
tions. political, legal. lcgis latiyc, and
executive, that come forward is an i'm
practicable idea altogether. They must
net through their chosen aud legally
constituted officials III legislatures, in
executive departments. aud III courts,
There is no other practical way Ill
which they can act. lt makes no differ
ence how much any one may show
that the people are entitled to rule, and
that neither courts, legislatures nor
executives have the right to step in
between them and their determination !,
the PLAN, practical fact is that there is
no way tor the people TO act except
through the means provided bv LAW.
and any claim TO the contrary is a
demagoslc plea. which is unworthy of
Colonel Roosevelt and unworthy Of any

THE MOB CONVENTIONS.

In the October number of Mcclure 5
Magazine there is a noteworthy article,
1.-The Presidential Conventional Blot
an American Democracy. 1t is writ
ten by Andrew d. White, ex.president
of Cornell University, formerly l. ;.
ambassador to Germany and Presl'
dent of the American delegation at the
first Hague conference. The article Is
a thoughtful one. bringing as it docs
into striking contrast thc Republican
conventions Of former times with the
hurrah work Of the conventions of re-
cent Presidential years. The former
conventions were held in halls that
served but little more than to scat
the delegates. There was no uproar-
ious mob in the galleries to ovcrawc
the speakers and to oblitcrate the rights
Of the delegates.
Mr. White points out very clearly
that the former conventions were real
dclihcratIve bodies. where earnest and
able discussions were :hc rule, and where
the delegates had the hall to them.
selves aud suffered no interruption
from any outside source. Now, hon-
ever. the mob in the galleries oyerawcs
the conventions both Of the Republicans
aud the Democrats alike, He points
ont that in the Chicago Republican
convention thr mob had It's own way
almost invariably; it almost succeeded
in defeating President Taft for rcnonli

tion was Il series OF uphcavals, Of up
roars, and of tumultuous. ovcrbcariug
outside pressure. The same is true Of the
Democratic National convention at
Baltimore. 4 footnotc carries infor-
nation conveyed 10 Mr.. White by an
convention. that the rights Of thc party
and the people at large were grossly
violated there also. and at various
periods during the sessions. control by
the gallery mob was snch that ony'
those delegate, who were able TO catch
its fancy were allowed to he hca I'd
and that when various delegates failed
to nc amusing. the mob by noise and
even Nv Kisses and direct calls OF sit
| down, overrodc their right To tai;c
part in the proceedings, This has been
notorious failing Of both parties in
modern Presidential years There has
been no such thing as calm deibcration
in the conventions, but an enthusiastic,
yelling mob has taken the business OF
the conventions out Of the hands oi
the delegates IN very Large degree, and
has dictated not ouiy what should bc
said. bUt what should bc done.
There has not been wanting in every
Presidential year for at least -four
quadrcunials, rcmonstranccs against
this growing evil. and there have been
proposals from time TO time 10 liinit

the galleries altogether and doing away
with every opportunity for outside pres
sure. There is no doubt but that this
must be the next reform in politics.
Tho National conventions of the parties
must be held in such way that the
conventions themselves Will do the
work that the delegates are sent there
to do. II is an evident fact that what
Mr., White calls the mob conventions
do not serve the best purposes OF the
parties any more, and it seems TO be Il
clear case that they cum never do so

THE VICE PRESIDENTS DEATH.

! Vice President sherman s death is a
shock Ia tho country. No one had sup
posed until within a few days that he
was i'll Of a mortal sickness IL seems
however. that there was absolutely no
chance for his recovery, The country
is the poorer in his death. because he
was man of friendly disposition,
iovial character and of staunch friend
ships The messages of coincidence re
ccivcd from all parts Of the country
and from all shades of opinion show
the respect and affection in which he
was universally held
Mr., sherman was not an old man. He

prominent in public life since he was
first elected TO Congress IN 1856. He
nude himself a national character then,
and has been such ever since. Ns Vice
President he presided impSriially and
we'll over the Senate, and won the re.
spcct and esteem of all the Senators,
without distinction Of party.
Since the death of Senator Frvc, of
Maine, the Senate has had no president
pro tempore, having been unable to
agree upon Il selection. Senator Jacob
II. Gallinger of New Hampshire was
the Republican caucus nominee, bat the
progressive Senators refused TO sup.
port him. and so an rrsngemcnt was
made by common consent whereby Mr.
Gnllingcr should preside over the Sen

Augustus O. Bacon OF Georgia, the next
fortnight. and so on alternately. At
the coming session of Congress it will
be Senator Bacon s turn 10 preside over
the Senate for the first fortnight, and
he will have charge on the part Of the
Senate of the obsequics of the Vice
President. He has already declared that
he will appoint the whole body OF
the Senate AS a committee to attend
the funeral
Politically "a affecting the present
as we pointed opt on We'd

partv's nominee for the Vice Presi-

nomination so made, and will vote ac'

The death of Vice President Sherman
is deplorable event. 1t ought to.

few days of the campaign. and should
serve to pIacate much of the bitterness
and animositv that has run riot all too
much this year.

TIE DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

The Democratic meeting in the salt
Lake Thcater on Wednesday evening
was an enthusiastic, crowded one. The
thcatar was jammcd, the speeches were
Of the most happy character, and the
points made were fair and strongly de
livered. Judge Powers was in excellent
vein. and he made his usual enthusi.
astic impression upon the audience. lie
made special points against the Federal
bunch, and strongly attacked the pres
ent State administration, being espe'
cally pointed in arraigning the present
State Treasurer for acting az assistant
cashier OF a bank In which large pro
portion of the State funds arc de-
posted. Judge Powers declared that
in so doing, the Treasurer was being
benefited by the deposits he made Of
State funds in this bank Just as much
as though he were personally receiving
the interest on the funds.
Mathonbah Thomas devoted his at
tention especially to the tariff question,
undertaking with indifferent success 20

election Of President Taft, that this

The meeting as whole was a first
class one. 1t shows vigor and activ.
ity in the Democratic party that speaks
well for the holding OF the party to.

heretofore since Statehood. Fer, the
Democratic party has always been han
dicappcd in this State by incurriug the

very first it found it necessary, in
the first State campaign Of 1905, to
rccoDSene and protest against church
interference To its injury, and eger
since the Democrats have labored under
this same handicap. This year they
are enthusiastic at the idea Of getting
ont from under this heavy load, and il
is to be hoped that they will have u
fair field, according to American idca5
