SPEECH A FLAT FAILURE.

The much heralded speech of Tbeo.
dore Roosevelt at Detroit last Saturday
night fell as fiat as anything we have
witnessed in many day. The great
leader-for his most bitter enemy must
give him credit for having demonstra-
ted that he is great leader-seems to
have lost his graft. Either his mis-.
sion was unpopular or his text was un-
interesting. The speech failed TO a.
rouse the enthusiasm that attended his
utterances in the last campaign. Per
haps the people have had too much
Roosevelt People do tire of the same
dish morning noon and night.
The Colonel was advertised To use as
his principal text the Macdonald,
Young contest and he did have some
thing to Say on that text but hs said it
poorly and to the wrong purpose. MIR
Macdonald was deprived of mis- Office
through the law. not through conni.
vance or usurpation of power That
Mr.. Macdonald received the majority
of votes from this district. no man can
say nay. The laws say how votes shall
be counted after, they have been cast
and they were counted strictly accord
ing TO the law in the case. Mr.. Mac
Donald has his appeal TO the congress
from which he has been deprived of a
seat as a member. In that tribunal
there is no hampering of procedure be-
cause OF the law. He can be given the
seat Or deprived OF il as the members
OF congress see fit.
But, TO get back To the Colonel's talk,
one gathers the inference that boards
and judges should. in the Colonel's 90,
timation. disregard the law; make q
law unto themselves. Judge Murphy
OF Detroit in a personal injury case a
short time ago. was compelled to direct
a verdict against complainant. when,
according to the Judges own address
TO the jury. the man was entitled to-a
different verdict. but IL was the Jaw.
Does the Colonel think that this Judge
should have disregarded the law and
made his own lawsY He has just Al
much right TO do 30 as did the state
canvassing board in the Young Mac
Donald case.
u What we want is not disregard OF
the law but good laws and whole
some observance Of them; not disobe
dience OF the laws but correcting o.
unjust laws II law is bad let's cor.
rect Il and that can be done only by
sending good men 70 tho legislatures
and aiding them TO make laws good.
Is Roosevelt doing THAR II he had the
welfare of the country at heart as much
as he has his personal ambition TO be

that the time has clearly demonstrated
that this third party movement last
fall was not progressive at all. so far
as net reuslt goes, but that on the con-
trary. IL was sadly reactionary. Why
For number of reasons.
Take one simple example. The
third party professed faith in tariff
board-not perfect. but a splendid start
in the right direction. 1t was given
to us by the Republican party aud a
Republican administration. The third
party movement was responsible for a
division in the ranks of like-thinkers
on this subject, so that the Democracy
was permitted to enjoy minority vic
tory. With this victory comes aboli-
ton of the tariff board we had and re-
turn to the old fashioned way of build
ing tariff law by guess, by compro-
mise and by favoritism. The result.
therefore. of the third party movement
in this regard has been reactionary and
not progressive.

AFTER MEMPHIS
POSTMASTERSHIP
A NUMBER OF CANDIDATES IN
THE FIELD FOR BIG
PLUM.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Several
candidates for appointment as post
master at Memphis are expected to
be here next Monday. There is said
to be an intense rivalry for that lus,
cious plum. 1t appears that Repre-
sentative Mcclellan prefers George
Pease. Senator Lea again inclines
to Stanley Irrelevant and Senator
Shields would like to see Tom Looney
get the place.
Postmaster General Burleson is
said to also have a personal prefer.
ence for Tom Looney. It is believed
that the rule adopted by the depart.
ment will be adhered to and that Con
gresham McKellar's wishes in the
matter will be paramount, and there.
fore strong pressure will be brought
to bear on him by the various candi.
dates. 1t is not probable that the SEN
ators will oppose McKellar's final
judgment and friendly solution is
