PARTIES vS. THE MAN.

During elections one Is aecustom al IuOTe on the man than on any par. TI ...a tiat tne party question Is with tAvmseISes d matter of seconda m pOFIance.
 In the coming presidential election Roosevelt Will receive many votes be- cause ot his striking personality but the colonel Is too astute a pontcian not 10 know that under the present. system of government in vogue in all really free countries the party must be greater than the man and parties must exist 10 carry into effect the wishes Of the people. AS matter of fact the existence of parties insures progress If one party fail to bring about reforms the other party will strive 10 enect them in the hope that by so doing IL will receive the support which the other sacrificed by its re- fusal.
 IL IS amusing to speculate on what the political conditions would DC If the party system were abaui1Ied Every man with the slightest imagin- ation can draw for himself the result l ant picture of individual freedom ;, the halls of any congress. and -''ry man with the slightest sense of huIsor will smile al the prospect It w"uij be every man for himself ana noo,,dY for anything but his own reelection.
 A man without a party is like sailor without ship. He has nothing to work with and nothing to carry him along. He Is independent but he is also broke and helpless.
 It is sometimes very hard to be lenient with the amateur statesman who seems to believe that he Is utter ing a most magnificent doctrine when in his own sweet, high falutin brand of eloquence he deties some man and damns all parties. He is altogether too Independent 10 stoop to the yoke placed on him by the system most popular in all the civilized. or really civilized countries of the earth and he places his own judgment beyond that of the countless intellects which managed to worry along before a.d since the beginning Of his existence He Is infinitely greater than any pa = ty. The combined wisdom O: ta. party In the country Is spurnai oy him as spurious. and he rates again"t the nation that failed to recognize his transcendani genius while the wor. mo. es on IL the same stupid grr 2 ignorant still-even of his ex. 'tci.'e
