ELIMINATES MIR. RoosEvEtr.

Just what Colonel Roosevelt thinks of the election results this week and what effect it is liable to have upon his future efforts to guide a political party has not been directly disclosed. What he ought to do and what he will do may be as different as black and white, judging from past conduct. He now faces the situation of being de- serted by the leaders and the rank and file even to the point where the party has in many states lost it's legal existence. It cannot but be made evil dent to him that the progressives have been doing some thinking for them selves. Having contributed, by follow ing, his leadership, to the depressing conditions of the country and shared in the experiences which have resulted from their course two years ago. it became a self evident fact that they were on the wrong track. A correc- sion of their false position was de- 4nanded and it was made, despite Mr Roogevelt's assertion that fusion would Ilever take place except upon their eer1ns- Colonel Roosevelt has been eliminated as a leader.
 Concerning his own action, MT. Roosevelt has said that he would never Hio back to the republican party, It Sg also to be remembered that he said ct one time even to the giving of his solemn pledge that he would not be a Candidate for the presidency again. and that such was quickly scrapped when the occasion arose to do other wise. The action of the great num- ber of progressiveS discloses that they have replaced their faith in the re- publican party as the sincere progress sive party and the significance of such action cannot be disregarded It is within the party and not outside that tae greatest good can be accomplished The return to their old party has been a wise one and it is no wonder that it has left MT.

HANDLING COTTON EXPORTS.

Just at the present time while every effort is being made to aid the cotton situation, and when southern states ara passing laws restricting the cot ton planting for the next year, it would appear that the American merchant
 marine is an important factor. It was but a short time ago that Great Bri- tain, by virtue Of being in control of the seas among the oelligerents. de clared that cotton is not contraband and that there would be no interfer- ence with its shipment even to ports of the countries at war. Such was a tremendously important aid to the cot ton market. great handicap was removed and foreign nations at once placed large orders here for early de- livery.
 The removal of handicap. how ever, only serves to uncover. another. While this 1nsures unrestricted trade with Great Britain and neutral coun- tries, it nevertheless discloses the sit- uation where American ships are needed With German vessels entire ly eliminated from the possibility of participating in the Transportation of cotton, for while the cargo might be passed the German vessels would not. and of course British vessels couldn't get within miles of German ports without capture, the opportunity is open for American shipping to engage in relieving the cotton demands of blockaded Europe and at the same time hasten the movement of the cot- ton crop at home. It will indeed be unfortunate if our merchant vessels cannot handle th1s export trade.

BUFFALO FOR coMMtssroN.

l. A new and bigger experiment. in the commission rule of cities is promised by the actton which has been taken by Buffalo in the adoption of that form of government this week. The favor able action upon the plan by a. nna- 5ority Of 15,000 marks the conclusion of six years effort. Persistency has finally won out for faint-hearted &C., ton would long ago have been dis couraged by the continued refusal of the legislature to grant the city such a charter as it desired and the pres ent one was secured only over the veto of the mayor.
 Condit5ons within the city operated largely in favor of che change The city had undergone an increase in its tax rate of nearly thirty per cent in the past twenty-five years. It's poor water supply, the loss of it's water front and it's much criticised railway terminals are all matters which gave support to the new form.
 By the new charter which goes into effect in January, 1916, this city of 100000 population, the tenth in the country, will be governed by a conn mission of five. Star chamber or exec ut1ve meetings of the city government aro forbidden They must be open to the public. The veto power of the mayor is removed and 1t is stipulated that five per cent of the people can cali for a referendum on ordinances or upon measures carrying appropri- afdons of public money other than pay rolls or emergency expenses.
 Buffalo now has the opportunity to demonstrate to itself and to the coun- try whether the form of government makes any difference in the handling of Its problems and find out how much rests upon the men selected for office.

ANoLo-lrALaAN ALLIANCE.

That there should be an alliance be- tween Great Britain and Italy at this time is but 8 natural thing. Both are ~itaiiy interested in the Mediterranean. They are opposed to the Turkish ad- RRnce as threatened by the new de- ~elopments and it is only to be ex- Cscted that they should combine to oppose it from the very start.
 Italy has been, previous to the war, In complete understanding with Ger many and Austria Tn the present trouble it could find no reason in the triple alliance agreement why 1t should support those two countries, and 1t has continued to maintain it's neutrality despite the great amount of sympathy for the allies. There was nothing fl, ike terms Of the alliance, however. which ted 1ta1y's hands in the Med- ssafrancsu and 1t was not intended to. italy was supposed 70 have a free land there, so that its stand now with sreat Britain, if the indicated align ment Becomes fact, violates no pre- Stous agreement with Germany.
 The outcome of the predicted Anglo Italian understanding will depend largely upon the strength which Tur- key develops in the war. Italy and nAT T@~y AdNo AoS S1ICkr0Iy TecoVereQ 4rom their recent trouble and Italys forces on the land and sea could be turned against Turkey and provide Formidable resistance to whatever operations it undertook along fine Med Gterranean- It would be g. step which would bring Italy into the war for it's own protection and as all ally of Great Britain. but not directly against Ger 1naany and Austria. It would, however be sufficient to nulIify any aid which Turkey might render to those two countries.
