THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Roosevelt's hat is in the ring. Al
last President Taft realizes that the
man who once helped him into the
Presidency is now the man who will
oust him Il he can. Therefore, the
country is treated to the spectacle Of a
President of the United States strug-
Cling for his denomination. establishing
bureaus of publicity, corralling the
Southern Federal oficeholders. and
travelling from city to city to strengthen
his own cause II is spectacle not al
together inspiring, but the pity of 1t is
that It should be necessary.
For, whatever may be said TO the con-
trary by partisan opponents, President
Taft has given the country good ad-
ministration. If it has not been bril-
liant, it has been sane; if it has not
SCARED amid the stars, it has been safe
and it has witIlal been actuated by a
sincere patriotism and an earnest
thoughtfulness for the country's well
fare This much can be said in its IA
vor without fear of successful contra
diction, and why ii should be compelled
TO fight for its very existence against
foes from within, rather than foes with
out, is one of the idiosyncrasies of
politics. That il must fight is, however.
certain There is no recourse left to
the President, and unless he should
simply abandon the feld-a contingency
which no one should expect-he must
measure lances with his rival in one of
the most interesting political contests
this country has ever seen.

The Washington herald., 1912-03-03

AIr Roosevelt enters the race sorely
Handicapped. This is not merely be-
cause he was once the most fulsome
friend of Taft. praising him because he
considered it his duty TO return to the
government OF the Philippines rather
than accept a much-coveted posi-
ton on the Supreme bench; not because
he once denounced William J. Bryan's
criticism of the Supreme Courts in
come tax decision; not because he is
now advocating principles from which
he once hello aloof but because he pro-
poses to accept a nomination which he
twice said he would not accept under
any circumstances. A solemn promise
made to the nation and himself ne now
proposes to ignore.
This, after all, is the gravamen of
the charge against Mr. Roosevelt. This,
after all, is the act which returns to
plague him and from the consequences
of which he cannot escape by asserting
that he meant a consecutive third term.
Three fourths OF the comment which
has been created BY his recent declara-
ton dwclls most forcibiy upon his spou-
taneous and unsolicited statements IN
Too4 and 1907 that he would not under
any circumstances be a candidate or
accept a nomination. Maybe he wishes
now that he had no: said it: but the
record is made
Apart from all this. he is, by his own
admission, seeking a third term, and the
ve-jess nyro in. political history knows
shat he thus antagonizes a ccntury-old
tradition. Washington declined third
election when he could have had it for
the asking. and renounced it, also. with
the statement that such action was COM
patible With. ;indininished interest in
NATIONAL; affairs md sincere gratitude
ior the honors which had been con-
ierned upon him. Jefferson followed
this example OF voluntary retirement,
and hoped that the precedent thus es-
tabiished would forever remain TN
broken Grants admirers sought 10 re-
instate their idol after an interregnum,
and at time when, as Blaine remarks
in his autobiography, the errors
charged against him had well-nigh been
forgotten, and the real merits and
achievements OF his administration were
better appreciated than at an earlier
period But even Gen Grant. TO
whom the country owed a debt of TN
dying gratitude, could not overcome
what Senator Hoar once called "the
unwritten but well-umderstood rule of
action by which the people had been
guided from the time of Washington"
II is worth while to emphasize the
feeling OF resentment which has been
caused by Roosevelt's departure from
his own promises and by his effort to
overturn a settled principle among the
American people, because the charge
that the systems of government which
he is now advocating are seditious and
anarchistic IS not likely to have great
weight.

cHILToN's ADVICE TO M'oRAw,

Senator ". Z. Chiffon owns a news
paper or a sheet that pretends TO be
a newspapsS down in the Kanawha
valley. When Mr.. Chiffon feels more
than ordinarily foolish. he sits down
and pens a few lines. Among his
latest lamentations are a series or
articles. soberly warning Col. John 7.

ginia. Mr.. Chiffon warns Col. Nc

that they are Greeks bearing gifts:
that they are 10 be distrusted, and a

McGraw and his friends will not be
gratified TO learn that they need Mr..
Chilton's guidance. For twenty-five or
thirty years. John T. McGraw has
fought his own battles in West Viz
gina. He has fought them like a
q. man. and never before has IL been
suggested that he was in need OF a
guardian. Republican newspapers feel
towards Col. McGdaw just as they
would feel To any other man. who
they might think had been shame
fully outraged and wronged. They do
NOT assume 10 advise him or to direct
his campaign. Mr.. McGraw is OF a

capable as his enemies will learn.

have been compelled 10 use the
