Mr.. RooseveIt's Resurrection.

The New Republic: Yet here is
Mr.. Roosevelt back on the first page,
the object of everyone's curiosity, the
only man mentioned for the republican
nomination who excites the least
popular interest. Those who announce
his extinction because they wish it
are once again wrong. Someone else
may be nominated. but the colonel is
the man everyone has to reckon with.
And even his bitterest enemy will
have to confess that his hold on the
attention of America is due to qualities
invaluable in a democracy. He has
taken a positive line, he has created
real opposition, he has presented a
real alternative. He has fought for
point Of view with reckless courage;
his cards are all on the table while
other LEADERS" remain wrapped in the
gloom of their prudence. resolved to
make no enemies and capable Of max
ing few friends. Let no one be sur
prised at Mr. Roosevelt's resurrection

Plain Speech In London.

New York World: The harsh, even
the despairing words spoken in the
British parliament relative to the con-
duct of the war are the natural utter
ances OF a troubled democracy. The
complaining voices may cause dismay
lin some SNUG circles at home; they
are not heard in the trenches. They
may give comfort for a moment to an
enemy; they need not affect. except as
they enrage and inspire, the mass OF
the people in whose behalf they are
spoken.
Great Britain is the one belligerent
having a legislature in which speech
is free. No one in the United States
needs to be told that liberty Of that
kind is subject to abuse. The nervous,
the excitable, the rancorous, the am
bilious, are always under temptation
to criticise and judge. One Of the pen
alties Of public service in democracy
is that the most arduous labor and the
most heroic sacrifice are likely at any
moment to be publicly belittled and
perhaps shamed.
It is in this rugged and brutal war
that democractes 60 forward. They
are impatient OF delay and failure.
Their expectations are always extrav-
Iagant. They are invariably suspicious
When success is not at once attained
they do not resort to the discipline Of

and they demand a change. More than

commander has been thrown to the

A despotic government may by
chance be wiser and stronger than the
people who sustain It, but no demo
cratic government can rise much above

FIGHT ON DISTRIBUTION
FAILS TO MATERIALIZE
House Adopts Resolution Looking
to Printing Of 100, 600 Copies Of
Industrial Relations Report.

The House yesterday adopted a con-
current resolution looking to the print
ing of 100000 copies of the final re-
port of the federal Industrial relations
committee. of which Frank p. Walsh
of Kansas City was chairman. Mem
bers would distribute them. The orig
inal request, made by Representative
Lewis of Maryland. was for the printing
of 100000 copies. The plates will be
kept. it was explained, and other copies
may be printed later. This explana-
ton satisfied friends of the committee,
who anticipated a fight against any
general distribution of the report.
Chairman Barnhart of the House
printing committee said that enough
copies of the evidence taken in all the
hearings except the Colorado strike
case to supply all of the regular places
to which government publications are
sent also will be printed later. Thus
schools. colleges and members
of the House will be supplied. Each set
of these hearings will consist of seven
volumes of 1850 pages each. not in
exhibits. among which Is the
Life of John D. Rockefeller" COM

intention to print the Colorado

TWO SWEEPS MADE
BY MASONIC TEAMS
Stansbury and Mount Pleas.
ant Lodges Take Their
Matches With Ease.

Clean sweeps were made in both
matches in the Masonic Bowling
League last night. The Stansbury team
took the measure of Dawson easily
and Mount Pleasant won a sweepin g
victory over Penta1pha. The anchor
men of the two victorious quints led
the players. each having fairly good
scores. Pop" HALEY of Stansbury roll
ed two exceptional counts, but fell be-
low 100 in one. His marks were 100. 80
and 125. Brandt of Mount Pleasant was
above 100 in all his contests, knocking
down 1o6, 107 and 1o2 pins.
Labor won two games out of three
from Land in the Departmental League
Labor got one high score. knocking
down 557 pins in it's first contest. wor-
tendyke and Andrews of the winning
five were the best bowlers of the
match The former secured one count
OF 1856 and Andrews rolled for Ill. Ill
and 101.
Moore was high man in the Palace
Two-man League, his counts being III.
Down in the Southeast League the
Model Lunch team walloped the Wood
men in all three games. Hoffman led
the victors with counts of los, lis and
ala. Whalley also did well for the
eame team.
George Iseman, whose all-star quint
lost the first block of five games of the
match with Baltimore bowlers last
Friday night, is not at all discouraged
over the showing. In fact, Iseman
thinks the Washington club will more
than make up the difference in the
final block. Says Iseman:
I'VE surely pulled off the Baltimore
match at a big disadvantage. four of
our five men being unable to be pres
ent. Johnny Baum was not able to
roll because of a bad hand, Harry
Krauss was down with a bad case of
grippe, and Pop" HALEY and Joe
Michaud had league games from which
they could not possibly get away. AL
though we are seventy-five pins be-
hind, / think we will make that up
when we face the Marylanders in their
own town with our regular lineup"
The results of last nights matches
follow.

day afternoon against the Philippine

publican party realized the RESPONSE
bility of the nation for the islanders.

would authorize the President. in the
event of ultimate independence of the
islands. to enter into a convention with
the government to be established pro-
viding for reimbursing the United
States for expenditures incurred there
