The Hope or the Republican Party.

hope OF the Republican party In 1916,
Every honest man who does not see

the choice OF "a majority of tho Repub-
Leans in 1912, and every man who Is not

lie did exactly right In refusing to coun-
tenance the robbery perpetrated at Chi
cago and to permit his resentment to take
practical form.
Colonel Roosevelt is more popular to-
day than he was in 1904, when he swept
the country. I am sure that a majority
of the people would like to see him In the
White House to-day, and 1t is "A good bet
that he will be there during the four years
beginning March 4, 1917. The Republi-
cans could do no better than select him
for their standard bearer in 1916.

Probably as hasty a generalization as
that OF the Psalmist. but not without a
basis of truth. In the sense in which
Representative DUPRE accuses the Pa
cifio Coast dwellers, the fault Is rather
the inevitable accompaniment of gen.
erous qualities. II is their faculty OF
seeing everything enlarged and bright
ened. made more pleasing and sympa-
thetic, that brings upon them the re-
proach OF straining the truth. This is a
sort OF falsehood that causes little Of
