Mr.. %Iongworth liked the House and the House
him. He studied the questions presented, and at
tended the, sessions. He was at no time n the list of
~absentees. He reached. the desirable post Of member
ship Of the committee ON ways and means. He spoke
we'll on the tariff question, and gave his support to
protection.
But when his party divided. Mr.. Longworth was
among those who lost out. A Democrat succeeded
him in the House. Cincinnati is a manufacturing
town, and was long a Republican stronghold, but with
the Republicans divided and the Democrats united,
the result there, as elsewhere, was Inevitable. '
Mr.. %Longworth is one of the men whose careers
contradict those ~agitators who assert that wealth
Weakens, when 1t does not destroy, interest. in our
national life. and leads to idleness and mere fashion.
He might have been a dawdler, but chose the path
Of industry and usefulness. His wealth has been no
clog on him, but rather an inspiration to public
endeavor: 80 %H
There are others. Both parties show them. In
peace and in war they lend a hand, and do q full part
by. the, country. Theirs is a dollar democracy in its
best form, claiming no exemptions. and helping to
bear all burdens.

the influence Of his fatherinlaw was thrown against
him: and, Of course, 1t counted in the scale. He
seems likely to encounter 1t again. Some of Mr..
Roosevelt's most jealous supporters, former secre.
tary Garfield among the number, reside in Ohio, and
are preparing to make a campaign this year for both
q state ticket and congressional tickets. They are
expecting Mr.. Roosevelts aid, and if he renders it
no exceptions can be made. He must smite the
Republicans all along the line, and even harder than
he does the Democrats, with whom he will be in a
working. If meteorological, alliance.
II Cincinnati is included in Mr.. Rooseyelt's itin-
erary it would be interesting to have him and Mr..
L%ongworth speak from the same stand, the former
describing the bankruptcy Of the Republican party
from his point of view, and the latter from the fulfil
,ity OF the Bull Moose revolt, from his. Such a de-
bate would wake up the town, and maybe the country.
But 1t is probably too much to expect. If the
two men meet it will be at dinner, where the high
cost Of living will be no bar to the enjoyment Of the
meal, and no theme for acrimonious discussion.

There is more or less danger in framing a party
platform with a forceful skill that causes it to linger
In the memory.
A President who wants what he wants when he
wants IT,. is always too polite to put it in precisely
that sphraseology.
The effacement of party lines is something that
has to be managed with care to prevent 1t from being
threatened inopportunely.
