More Munitions Plot Charges.

The latest indictments in New ork
on the munitions plot charges, which
have already been brought against a
number of persons, include several OF
a different character than the preced-
ing. This finding of the grand jury
is especially notable in the accusation
of a present member OF Congress, a
former member, and former attor-
nev general of Ohio.
If the federal grand jury in New
York has not been tremendously mis-
taken in its judgment of the testi-
mony adduced before it, conspiracy
reaching far and wide has been
brought into being for the purpose of
crippling the munitions plants and
the transportation facilities in this
country. The partisan character of
this endeavor is, of course. apparent.
1t is to the interest of the central
powers of Europe to prevent the
making and shipment of arms and
ammunition from the United States
to the allied nations, their enemies.
That men of German birth, or close
descent, should engage in such en-
deavors. however illegal from the
point of view of American law, is
not unnatural But that American
citizens. in no wise identified with
the German cause, should attempt by
unlawful means to prevent this traf-
hc is crime against the country and
every man who is engaged in the
plots to check the munitions sup
ply by unlawful means should, if
detected, suffer a severe penalty.
The high Office of one of the latest
defendants against the New York
charges viii not shield him if he is
guilty. He has already charged the
federal district attorney of New York
with malfeasance and other offenses,
and he may secure hearing before
the House of Representatives that
will cover the merits of the case. But
whether the facts are brought out in
Congress or in court, the truth must
be had.

The Two Roosevelt Propositions.

There are two propositions as to
Mr.. Roosevelt and the part he IS to
nlav next year One is that. not
withstanding his bolt in 1912 and his
denunciation OF his old party asso-
ciates. the republicans accept him as
their leader again The othe- IS that
he be permitted to name the repub-
lican candidate for President and wise
the platform. There are very grave
obie ections to both propositions.
The nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt
would be an abject surrender on the
part of the republicans. and the tax
ing over for the campaign by them
Of a1l the policies, both defined and
vague. for which he stands. By this
act they would confess him light IN
his Reputation OF them three years
ago, and promise to be guided by hlm
in future. Is such thing likely!
Would it not be too manifest a bid
for mere power to succeed: II re-
duced to that pass. the republicans
should surrender their name along
with their principles. and adopt along
with Mr.. Roosevelt and his principles
the name he has given to his party
Bull moosery by name should sup
plant republicanism-
The nomination OF a man and the
adoption of platform at Mr.. Roose-
velt's dictation would be simply whip
ping the devil round the stump. The
performance would deceive nobody.
Everybody would understand that
such man, if elected. would either
have to become Mr. Roosevelt's rub
Der stamp in Office, or else incur Mr..
Roosevelt's active hostility. Mr..
Taft's experience would warn. Who,
with Mr. Taft's experience before
him, would now accept Mr.. Roose-
velt's sponsorship?
All the chances would favor a
rupture and a failure. Overlordship
would be resented, just as Mr.. Taft
resented it. The man so chosen and
elected would. if worthy of his Of
fee, insist on being his own man.
Faced with the responsibilities OF his
Office, he would meet them in his own
way. And that would provoke a row.
But the next republican platform,
while not Rooseveltian, must be pro-
gressive; and the presidential NOM
inee, while not a Roosevelt puppet,
must be a man who will receive the
hearty support of the rank and file
of both the progressive and conserva-
tive factions of the republican party.
While Mr. Roosevelt is quoted as
being willing to accept this, or as be-
ing opposed to that. republican leader,
the probability is that at present he
is giving serious thought only to his
own case He wants to run for
President. He is too shrewd poll
tician, too close an observer, not to
see that bull moosery in its own right
is a spent force. Not even he can
revive it. And it will not be until
and unless convinced there is no
thoroughfare for himself that Mr..
Roosevelt will take up with his
friends and advisers the question of
trying to dominate for or against an
other the republican national con-
vention.

ment for defeating Mr.. Clark for the
nonnna ton.
Mr.. Bryan's eyes are no more fixed
on the south at this time thar are
the eyes of many others. In apprais-
ing Congress some critics of. the de-
mocracy shake a warning finger, and
remark that "the south is in the sad
die" Their meaning is that the coun-
try, under southern influences. will
be denied progressive legislation
In sense the south is in the sad
die. Sons OF hers hold the most in
fuential assignments in both houses
of Congress. But they are there by
reason of their length of service and
the ability they have shown in Office.
They constitute the old guard. They
are veterans, with scars to their
credit. They have been fighting the
democracy's battles for many years.
The battle now opening will be
battle indeed. AS usual, the south
will command great deal of atten-
ton. How will she carry herself?
Will she support the policy advo-
Gated by the President and all the
expert knowledge of the country? or
will she fight under the white flag of
and try to deny to the
country the defenses which if voted
will prove of as much Importance and
advantage to her as to the other sec
tions?
Here's to the south-as much
American as the north. and, in a
patriotic sense, with as much at
stake.

The South and Preparedness.

IN the current Conmoner Mr..
Bryan says:
The south promises to render the
country signal service in the fight
against preparedness. Majority
Leader Kitchin has already taken a
strong stand against the proposed
increase in the expenditures of the
army and navy. Other southern rep
resentatives and senators have also
announced their opposition TO the
program The south is democratic,
and it knows that militarism is un-
democratic; the south also knows
something of the horrors of war and
does not want to invite war by adopt
