 There are good many prominent people in this state, not all of them in the newspaper business, who disap- prove of the gusty passions of the mob. who are averse to laying the ax to the root, etc., etc, and who be- l1eve in the management of things by representative governing class who. of course, can't approve of Roosevelt and who feel it their duty to the rep resentative governing class to disap- prove of him inasmuch as such dis approval enables one to stand in, as 1t were, with various important busi- mess interests. Naturally enough such persons desire to express their disapproval in dignif1ed language and in original manner and these people will be glad to secure list of the terms already applied to the colonel
 Persons who feel that they must dis approve in a seemly manner should certainly do so in an original manner also, hence, to facilitate expression, the following list of adjectives already applied to Roosevelt is given, the writer having picked them up from time to time in the newspapers of the day: Anarchist, arrogant self seek CT, autocratic and lawless man, beast. Benedict Arnold. brigand. buccaneer, Cardinal & Machiavelli, crazed Cae- sar, demagogue, destroyer of liberty, dictator, drunkard, enemy of freedom, expounder of heresies, hypochondriac,- back, mouthing clown, neurotic.

He might be termed an Aaron Burr. which would be rather fetching and, bye and bye. when the campaign gets a little hotter, he can be compared to Jefferson Davis and there is also Judas to fall back on ev- en though Arnold, Caesar and Ptlate are out of commission. Between >Jen and Judas it ought to be possible to frame up a very good editorial or ser mon designed to demonstrate the wick edness of the Roosevelt crowd but it certainly Is a pity that their sex rules out Bloody Mary and some of the Bor- gias. If, worse crimes to worst epi- thets heretofore. left out of print will have to come in for this occasion be- cause, though .epithets are scarce, they are more numerous than convincing arguments in view of the action of the gusty passions of the mob in Illinois and Pennsylvania. It is of course a cause for thankfulness that Senator Aldrich shows his ability to take care of Rhode Island which happens to be one of those states where the people are still fitted for self-government when they are rightly directed.
 But looking at this merry ruction from a new angle let us drop tear or two in passing at the frightful dis covery made by the Taft managers that the Roosevelt crowd has an abun-
