II is significant that the antagonlsrn which
Roosevelt shows for Barnes Penrose and Crane
three Republicans who dislike him with equal
ardor. is not displayed toward Root An inter
view, published last week. emphasized this fact
Roosevelt and Root have no quarrel. Roose
Welt has always admired Roots ability and hon
Roosevet's friendship now ny never MAKING
public some political history For II was Root
who told Taft that Roosevelt would never he a
candidate for the presidency. Root said this to
laft' not only once, but often. and in each in
stance Roosevelt his authority the rettar
alton continuing until Root was surprised to see
a declaration from Roosevelt that the Is+ter
would accept the invitation of seven governors
to be receptive candidate. Whether or NOT
this Is the reason why Roosevelt openly an
nounces that he Is good terms with Root or
whether he knows that Root cannot be his
rival. the fact remains that the two men 81
Numerically opposite In character and temper
ament, occupy the center of the stage in friendly
attitude today
1t is hard to eradicate from the minds of
many Republicans the belief that Roosevelt
Is to be the Republican candidate in 1919 If
the so-called Progressives participate in goodly
numbers In the convention next year the result
will be distinctly advantageous to Roosevelt
It seems odd, of course, to think OF Roosevelt
as a Republican candidate but with his usual
facility he can square himself with the situation
by saying that the party has changed and has
come to him. Besides this as the case stands
today, history will regard Roosevelt as an un :
grateful and angry deserter from the party which
honored him with it's highest distinction and
which he deliberately attempted 10 wreck II
ny reimbursement OF his position--and nothing
is easier for Roosevelt--he can again lead the
party TO victory; he can change the garb of q
traitor into the robe of a savior. And surely this
would he worth while.
So the convention which is to be decided upon
this week is TO be an event of some Importance
in political affairs.-Washington Herald

MT. pOpE'S ASSININYTY

Some time ago The Vir0tnton and other news
papers Of the country informed on reliable
authority that one Mr.. George Pope known to
fame president Of the National Association
Of Manufacturers and known to notoriety as tho
pal of ono Colonel Martin Mulhal1 is very much
Of an ass. The reliable authority is Mr. George
(himself) Pope. Here is the proof:
Editor Of The vlrginian.
sir,--As IL wen known. Mr. woodrow VIII
son, having spent the greater part of his life
IN the class room. has had no opportunity OF
gaining practical knowledge either of b1si-
ness or Of government affairs. Mindful of this
fact, the newspapers have kindly informed Mr.
Wilson that he should not have for secretary
Of state man who appears with vaudeville
performers
Wilaon that he should not appoint to office
members of lawess bands With a view to doing
our part Of this good and needful work. we shall
send to Mr. Wilson copy of the December
Issue Of american Industries" This copy will
contain n marked article referring TO bands Of
men who disregard the law.
This copy will be sent to Mr. Wilson by a
special messenger This messenger Will leave
our once the morning of December 10th
with the paper containing the marked article
which he will deliver 10 Mr.. Wlson.-George
Pope.
This letter was sent to all the newspapers In
the country, we suppose. costing deal of money
and explaining In some measure why big cor.
porations cannot always make money even
though getting good prices for their output This
is but small portion OF the cost OF a campaign
Of publicity However that is beside the point
which Is that both effort and money seems to
have been wasted The letter was sent out
early in December. and so far as we have been
able to learn few newspapers have printed It, and
those only to express wonder at the mans lack
OF ordinary intelligence. His lack OF propriety
is. Of course. not surprising Martin Mulhalrs
employers have never been noted for a sense
Of propriety.
AS we have said the letter was sent out early
In December. On the tenth OF the month spe-
cial messenger was to carry verbal bomb to the
White House, II is now December 23d the White
House still stands MIR. Wilson still makes his
home there and Mr.. Bryan still makes occasional
calls
The special messenger must have set the bomb
off prematurely. blowing himself to atoms
