A New Roosevelt.

II is announced that Mr.. Roose-
welt will soon visit the San Francisco
exposition? Well, why not? Every
body's doin' it now. That is, nearly
everybody. At any rate, nearly
everybody with the White House in
mind. The show alone is worth the
price of the trip, but in addition. for
the politicians, there is a chance to
do little missionary work en- route.
Next year is presidential year, and
voters are already thinking of what
should be done at the polls then, and
even before.
Mr.. Roosevelt is still at the head
OF the bull moose herd, although the
herd has lost heavily in numbers. His
signal is still obeyed. Only the other
day Cecil Lyon OF far-off Texas ap-
peared at Oyster Bay, and held a
confab with his chief. He declined
to give particulars when questioned,
but the subject must have been pol
tics. and politics includes the presi-
dency. Texas, of course, is outside
the bull moose jurisdiction, but Mr..
Lyon likes politics, and is rated as
good adviser in the game.
The bull moosers of the state of
Washington, hearing OF their chiefs
plans. asked for conference at Sc
attic, but have been told that his stay
in town will not afford time. He will
tarry but a few hours.
This must have been chilling, be-
cause unexpected. The hurrying
Roosevelt is natural enough, but
when did few hours cease to be
time enough for him to settle any
thing or everything? What have
the Washingtonians to tell him, or
he to consider, calling for thorough
examination and slow decision?
1t was the hair-trigger Roosevelt,
with finger always on trigger, that
captured the popular fancy. If he
has disappeared, and in the place is
make ready, take aim, FIRE Roosevelt,
then not only his followers but 9TH
crs have new problem to solve.
What has produced the change?
What does the change foretell? How
does the new man compare with the
old?
There is good reason for caution,
but the wonder is that Mr.. Roosevelt
should be able to see it. If he is to
cut the swath next year he has in
mind. he must either maneuver the
republican party into his party, or
maneuver himself back into the re-
publican party. AS he has in the past
few years made the acquaintance of
the word fail he is justified in slow
ing UP and taking a deliberate look
around

ship his capacity for good work and
good citizenship. Since then he has
done much; and all true men appre-
ciate the performance, and wish him
success in his further like course.
The negro is in America to stay.
All the shallow outgivings of futile
dreamers and selfish schemers about
depol tation have ceased. Neither the
intelligent negro nor the intelligent
white man was misled. Both could
appraise the real situation, and did
appraise it at its right value. America,
never more so than now, is oppor-
tunity for the man who wants to
make himself useful, qualities to that
end, and applies what he learns and
saves what he earns.
The negro should be not only in
dustrious but patient. Half century
is scarcely more than a day in reck-
oning the advancement and achieve
ments of a lace. But it is the first
steps that count; and since his feet
were set in the right path the negro's
steps have been steady and assuring.
Reference, of course, is to the negro
who respects himself. and solicits by
his conduct the respect of his white
neiphbors. When he does that he
prospers. When he does his duty by
himself he does it by others; and here
he sees himself able to command the
sympathy and recognition of the high
est official OF the government, speak

ernment and know the benefits OF its

Since the principle of safety has found

And sanity is very much admired,
We may placidly proceed to patriotic
celebration
Under circumstances much to be
desired.
We no longer fill the air with noise
and pyrotechnic twisters
And language most explosive now
and then,
And our hands and faces with un-
pleasant burns and blisters
For love of country and our fell
low men.
We no longer make the holiday day
of awful chances.
And toss and tremble through the
night before,
As we dream of a parade of phar-
macists and ambulances
With an undertaken pounding at
the door.
The eagle screams. but not because
of physical affliction;
The cooling dove makes music to
the ear;
AS once more we stop to tell without
the aid of noisy fiction
Of patriotism simple and sincere.

French writer refers his reader to The
General History of French influence in

the Germans have no such geometri-
