Rooseve!t's Opportunity

During the present week ex-President
| Roosevelt is expected to arrive in the
United States, returning from his journey
of many months through unexplored re-
gions Of South America. He returns, no
doubt, with a record of discoveries which
are the result of courageous and persist
ent effort against great obstacles, with
the record also of good work done in the
promotion of friendly relations between
the South American republics and our
own nation.
Ex-President Roosevelt has now before
him the most remarkable opportunity
ever offered to any man prominentin the
political life of America. To most men it
is claimed Opportunity offers but one
chance. 1t is not SO with Col Roosevelt
The opportunity of his life is offered
second time.
In spite of the ierceness of partisan
feeling which has been developed in the
great bulk of the American people cheer
full recognition of the strong characters
tics of Theodore Roosevelt. Thousands
upon thousands who would not, and will
not upon any consideration, give to him
or any other man their vote for a third
term in the Presidency, have high respect
for his PERSONAL qualities, The desire of
these multitudes of his telow-ctizens is
that they may cherish and express these
feelings untettered by the complications
which must inevitably ensue if his name
is permitted to be used as a ralying-cry
Of partisan politicians
Here is Theodore Rooscysl S opportun-
ity: To declare that his name shall not
be so used, and to withdraw himself as a
personal factor from political life. lie
can do now what he would not have felt
to be possible in the autumn of 1912, and
by doing so can win for himself a place
in the heart of the American people that
no possible political success ca1 gain. 1t
is the greatest opportunity that can
come to him; the decision is with him
alone.
R,1t will he do II

The Barton Monitor is an enthusiastic
supporter of {. A. Prouty for United
States Senator. 1t has right to be So
if it wants to but it should not misrep-
resent the present Senators by making
misstatements. For instance. it says
that "when Lorimer and Penrose and
other former Senate leaders began to fall
into disrepute and it was found that
Vermont's Senators were almost invarj-
ably voting with them, Vermont began
to lose prestige in the Senate" Now
will the Monitor please state when YER
mont's Senators voted other than what
they honestly believed to be right on
any question? Did they ever vote for
any measure simply because Lorimer and
Penrose were in favor of it? VermOnt's
Senators are not that sort of men, as

A Notable Birthday

Last Saturday, May 16, Hon, Levi p.
Morton of New York, ex-Vice President
of the United States, passed his ninetieth
birthday anniversary. Mr.. Morton, who
was Vice President during the admins
tration of Benjamin Harrison, had been
previously for four years United States
Minister to France. After his retirement
from the Vice Presidency he was for two
years Governor of New York.
Mr.. Morton is native of Vermont,
being born at Shoreham, in Addison Co.
He is one of the most distinguished of
many prominent descendants OF George
Morton, who was an English emigrant
to Plymouth, in New England, in the
ship Anne" in 1923.
Mr.. MortOn's first two names were
given him in remembrance of near rea-
tive, Rev. Levi Parsons, who as a mis-
sionary preacher, was actively identified
with work in northern Vermont in the
second decade of the last century Sever.
al churches now in existence in this part
of the state were organized through the
labors of Rev. Levi Parsons
Levi P. Morton surely holds the posi-
ton of grand old man. of American pc.
litical life. People of his native state will
join with Others throughout the nation
in tie hope that he may yet have many
years in which to be thus known.

Palmer's Qualifications

IF PENNSYLVANIA wants as United States
i Senator a man of untmpeachable character,
mental balance and practical legislative ex-
perience Mr. A. Mitchell Palmer fills the bill
Such qualities are necessary TO a candidate
for such an important Office II his character
is defective by reason OF dishonest alliances
and treacheries he is unit to sit in the SEN
ate; II his mental poise Is uncertain by deyo-
ton to fads and utopian programs. he is unfit
to sit in the Senate; If he possesses no expert
ence in constructive craftsmanship. he is unfit
TO sit in the Senate.
There is no doubt that Palmer is possessed
Of high qualifications. President Wilson has
testified to the fact out of intimate knowl-
edge; his opponents have never impeached
him in any OF these directions; his life is an
open book in which the record is legibly arGS
emphatically recorded. The only offense Re-
pubIicans can charge against Palmer is that
ne has been one OF the pillars Of the present
Administration. Unless party politics Is moth
ing but a blind prejudice, Independent Re-
pubIicans will support man they can honor,

owen; Clapp and Walsh, two Democrats ana
two Republicans-in joining to oppose the elec.
tion to the Senate OF Sullivan, of Illinois, ana
Penrose, OF Pennsylvana-one Democrat ana
the other Republican. Says the Times admir-
ingly:
"It is not unusual for from other States
to go into candidates State to help him out.
but we recall case in which Senator had
gone into another State to oppose the candidate
OF his own party 1t required high degree OF
courage. But not one even among those most
deeply outraged by this violation Of the prece-
dents. has assalled the motives OF Senators
Owen and Norris one has intimated that
either has the slightest grudge against Penrose
and Sullivan any other motive than the one
they give-that they regard the candidates as
men dangerous to good government"
The part Senator Norris is playing in Kidding
his party of dangerous men gives value to
his attitude where the candidates of other
parties involved. After giving his support
to the Progressive party candidate for Senator
in Illinois as OF beating Sullivan, Sem
ator Norris Is peculiarly qualified to ask the
same independence OF members of the Progress
sive party in Nebraska. This he does.
