Root vs.. Wilson

Present indications seem to point
u he probable nomination OF Elihu
Root of New York as the Republican
candidate for president, to oppose
Pn4nident Wilson. who doubtless will
b. = candidate for reelection.
No better alignment could be de-
vis1d. Root stands for everything
retfogressive. There isn't q progress
sive notion In his scheme Of things.
AbA-head and shoulders above the
croud in intellect-he Is at the same
ting the very impersonation of
.thfngs as they are and always have
besn." His heart Is with the vested
intssests, the capitalists who control
thu nation through their influence
over the individual pocketbook.
4Sesident Wilson is the proven ad-
voSate of new order of things. He
stands for sane progressiveism, with
out the ranting hypocrisy which
masks some progressive leaders. He
promised certain reforms and, right
or wrong, he has made his promises
good. Moreover, he seems to be right
most of the time.
The issue, then, will be standpat-
Ism VS.. sane progressive-ism. There
win be no other issue. Shall We let
the great industries of the nation
alone and permit them to rule, that
We may gather the crumbs from their
table; or shall we govern them by
the right of majority and make them
do our bidding, within reason?
With such an issue and with Wood
row Wilson to champion the cause of
the Progressive voters Of the country,
regardless of party lines, who can
doubt the result?
But somewhere along the line We
miss face-a face with eyeglasses
and prominent teeth. Whose can 1t
be? What was tie name of that
fellow who was going to combine the
Republican and Bull Moose parties
and become the candidate OF both?
Certainly 1t wasn't Elihu Root.-Ft.

OF HISTORICAL INTEREST

In a letter to the New York Tribune,
James H. Baum, of Trenton, n. J., an
old veteran of Slocum's Twelfth Corps,
reminisces on the Battle of Gettys-
burg, which. in his estimation, was a
close rival to Waterloo.
Gettysburg had four phases" he
said. First. the cavalry fight at Han
over; second, the attack on the First
and Eleventh Corps on July /; third,
the fight on Sickles by Longstreet. and
the late afternoon fight of Ewell on
the Eleventh Corps and Culp's Hill.
The fourth phase was where I was
particularly interested" he continued,
viz, the morning of the Sd of July,
which. with Pickett's charge, made
up the closing scenes of Gettysburg.
One of the heroes was General
Greene. I saw the old man, with his
long. dark hair, and said to myself:
Well. old man, If you can fight at
your age, certainly should fight at
my age There was then a difference
of forty years between u.s."

or Misrepresentation can or ever will
take the place of constructive crit-
cism.
How any person who pretends to
have the welfare of the city at heart
can justify actions that are distinctly
harmful and unquestionably defeat
the things tthey pretend to believe in,
simply because for personal or political
reasons they want some other person
to do these things, or as It appears do
not like the particular person who is
doing these things. is beyond reason.
The present municipal campaign can
only be likened to the fierce upheaval
that is frequently caused in a small
village over the election of a constable
who probably does not have a half
dozen official acts to perform during
his term of Office and where all the
candidates are equally qualified to per-
form those services.
The faulthnders, the gossipers and
muckrakers have had more or less
success in the past several years, but
IL we do not miss our guess the ma
jority of sober minded. thinking citi-

of mind to say. and we believe will

THAD. STEVENS GRAVE
His Epitaph Tells Why He Chose His
Long Home


To the Editor of The y. Y. Sun:
Sir: Permit me to call the attention
of Thomas Dixon to the epitaph which
Thaddeus Stevens wrote for himself,
as follows:
repose in this quiet and secluded
spot, not for any preference for soli-
tude, but, finding other cemeteries
limited by charter rules as to race,
have chosen 1t that might be enabled
to illustrate in my death the princi-
pies which l have advocated through
a long life. the equality of man before
his Creator.
On learning that the cemetery in
Lancaster, Pa, in which he hoped to
be buried would not admit bodies of
negroes to burial. Mr.. Stevens indig-
nantly sold his lot, and purchased one
in another ground where, in the COM
mon dust. of Gods acre. all men might
be equal; and so, even in his grave,
we may still salute him as The Great
Commoner."
Brave SOUL Champion of liberty,
equality and fraternity. Hail and
farewell!
