Reforms. Old and New.

Mr. Roosevelt is quoted as saying III
a letter to a friend and supporter IN
Oregon: THE public is tired of hear
ing of reforms, or hearing from re-
formers. and especially from me-.
Old things-temporarily at least
have lost their interest. Social Justice
is not now the cry. The initiative and
referendum and the recall are not to-
day considered essential to the saliva
ton of the country. Even the trusts.
partly owing to the completion of the
democratic legislative program, are in
| the background.
But new things have taken their
places. We are seeing ourselves in
new light. New duties confront us.
New issues are presenting themselves.
OF reforms there are = plenty, and of
reformers a much greater number.
Whether the public desires to hear or
no, 1t must listen. The reformers will
not be denied hearing.
And we may be sure that in his own
time and way MIR. Roosevelt will have
his say about many If not all of these
matters They appeal to him-some of
them more strongly probably than the
old issues. Those things in particular
emphasized by the war are in his
favorite line of agitation.
Prohibition is an old reform, but Mr..
Rooseveit's interest in it is new. A sus-
picion prevails that he is flirting with
it and hopes to capture it for use two
years hence.
So strong is this suspicion. indeed.
and SO much progress is thought to
have been made by Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr..
Bryan's activity in the same direction
is explained on that score. The Presi-
dents chief campaigner is afraid Mr..
Roosevelt will get away with the issue
altogether and capitalize for 1915.
1t is reasonably certain that Mr..
Roosevelt Is not contemplating making
another presidential campaign on the
bull moose platform of two years ago.
That was hastily knocked together,
and very decidedly knocked out The
country would not have it, and since
then the party that offered it has
shrunk to small proportions.
But 1t is as reasonably certain that
bir. Roosevelt is contemplating making
another presidential campaign on a
new platform. The nature of this Is
now the subject of speculation. He and
his friends are studying developments
with care; and whatever looks good to
them they are likely to appropriate to
their purposes. The tools to the man
who can use them. In politics the
issues to the leader who can make the
most of them.

The Kaiser Stricken Down.

1t is a strange vagary of fate that
stretches the war lord on a bed
of sickness in the crisis of the only
war of his long reign, struggling for
bare life against the onset of disease
while his generals and his armies con-
tend against the embattled nations Of
Europe. 1t Is contradiction of des-
tiny, a paradox of real life, that he who
is the very soul Of the conflict, the con-
centrated spirit of German ambitions
and activities, should be snatched from
the storm center, rendered weak and
impotent as respects the great purposes
to which he has devoted his life. 1t
is wonderful to think that under the
hand of Providence he who should be
pie, has of a sudden become an added
grief and anxiety amid their many
trials.

The Campaign in Poland.

The campaign in Poland is following
the course set in preceding actions in
that part of the war field. The German
armies. advancing upon Warsaw after ex-
Treating themselves from the trap set
by the Russians. have again been check
ed, according to late reports. and while
they had gained considerable ground to-
ward the Polish capital they were not
in a position to menace the Russian
forces. Thus once more does the pendu-

the other succeeding in its endeavor.
Such a campaign is tremendously waste
