ROOSEVELT IN JEST
Infers There Are Other Leaders
in Bull Moose Party.
Declaration That He believes He
Will Not Be Candidate in 1916"
Is a Proper Subject for
Laughter.

Mr.. Roosevelt is quoted as saying
in a letter to a prominent Maryland
Republican,: Il will not be a candidate
in 1916"
Guardedly? Very. Note the qualifi-
cation, "at the present time" He has
nearly two years in which to change
his mind; and he is a lightning-change
artist.
If he had said, Under no circum-
stances could ] be induced to become
a candidate in 1916" the public would
have smiled broadly and audibly. 1t
would have remembered things and
thought things. A declaration made
ten years ago would have ohtruded
itself.
In his present statement Mr.. Roose-
welt seeks to c%ontrovert the charge
that he is the Bull Moose party; that
without his leadership it would dis
integrate. He would have his per-
sonal friend in Maryland believe tina
the Bull Moosers have other leaders
worthy the presidency, and that one OF
them may be nominated two years
hence.
No Republican is likely to be cap
tured by that. There are some able
men in the Bull Moose party, but the
name of not one of them is associated
with a presidential nomination. The
prevailing idea in both Republican and
Democratic circles is that Mr.. Roose-
veiI would not yield first place to any
of them.
The men who are now Bull Moosers
and likely to remain SO at least two
years longer know no leader but Mr..
Roosevelt. To them he is all in all.
Take George w. Perkins. Is it believ-
able that he would stand to his guns
as he is doing if he was not calculat-
ing on Mr.. Roosevelts nomination?
His interest in politics relates to the
trusts, and on the trust question he
and Mr.. Roosevelt are in perfect agree
ment. With Mr.. Roosevelt back in the
White House, Mr.. Perkins would know
to a dot what the presidential policy
would be as to the further regulation
of the trusts,
Mr.. Roosevelt dominates the Bull
Moose party as completely as Mr.. Viii
son does the Democratic party. When
ever the Democrats are in doubt they
turn to Mr.. Wilson, and whenever he
chooses to decide a controversy his de-
cision is accepted. All Bull Moose con.
troversies are referred to Mr.. Roose-
welt; and only in the case of the Hin
man candidacy in New York has an
appeal been taken from his decision.
Count Mr.. Roosevelt out of the equa-
ton for 1916, and nothing remains OF
Bull Moosery. He is the whole show
What the effect will be on his for
tunes if a small Bull Moose vote is
thrown everywhere in November is be
yond calculation at present, except
that he will have to abate some of the
dictatorial spirit that now possesses
him.

pisapnointment.

One of the stories that President
Wilson tells is Of a small boy whom
he encountered at Staunton, Va. The
president was speaking to a crowd
from the steps of the Baldwin Semi
nary for Girls. The boy pushed and
showed his way through the crowd
until he found himself squarely in
front of President Wilson. whereupon
he shouted excitedly:
Where is it? Where is it?"
Mr.. Wilson stopped his speech, and
with a broad smile, said, good-natured
ly: We'll, my boy, / guess | am it.
20 pshaw!" responded the young
ster, with a look Of disgust. II
thought it was a dog fight"

Annual Crop of Oats.

The worlds annual crop of oats. in

which are the chief producers, is g.
426, 900. 900 bushels a year. The United
States raised 1,123,0 100000 bushels,
which places her in a position to ex-
port large quantities without feeling
the loss. A very large part of the corn
crop is raised in the United States. OF
the total annual crop of 2,776,000, 900
bushels raised by nine countries the

ALL PLANS LOOK TO 1916
a View to the Election in
November.

The Bull Moose slump in Maine was
heavy. Still, a Bull Moose party re-
mains in the state, and answers the
purpose of a Democratic asset. A
union of the forces subscribing to the
policies long known as Republican
would have swept everything into the
Republican basket with ease.
Mr.. Roosevelt visited the state a.
short time since, and must have been,
informed of the true situation. He
must have known when he quilted the,
state of the change that had occurred,
since 1912. :
His friends, however, under his ad-,
vice, kept up their work. Those who
voted the Bull Moose ticket did SO in
the hope of aiding his presidential
plans.
This is the essence and meaning of
Bull Moosery wherever it exists. The
adjuration is to keep 1916 in mind
Continue the menace to the Repub-
licans, and in the end they will be con-
quered by it.
Will they? If they are it will be a
remarkable occurrence.
To assume hat Mr.. Roosevelt will
head the leading opposition to the
Democrats two years hence involves
the assumption that the Republicans
will come to concede the unworthiness
he has charged against them, and theiS
inability again to give the country
good government. They will have to
renounce their name, take his name,
accept his full program, and in all
things submit themselves to him.
He turns now to the middle states
and the near West. He wants the Bull
Moosers in those sections to follow the
example of their Maine brethren. Vote
this year for effect in 1916. Never
mind if nc local candidates r elected
next November. Think Of that Novem-
Der when national candidates are to be
voted for again.

Practical Everyday Work.

The state department of public in
%struction has under consideration
some changes to recommend in the
public school curriculum.
An inspector who recently returned
from a trip reported enthusiastically
of the school system adopted at Gary,
Ind. In this respect, as in many
others, Gary is one of the most pro-
gressive communities in the country.
In devising its school system, the main
consideration has been the practical
value of subjects taught. Efforts are
made to discover the pupils natural
aptitude, and he is encouraged to de-
velop himself along these lines. Spe-
cial stress is laid upon the study of
health and physical development.

department of public instruction, is
making plans for comprehensive re-
forms locking to the development of
efficiency for practical, everyday serv-
ice.
