ragaries OF the exalted ego, the World cruelty
looks further into the record. and calls at
tention to the regular message OF December
1905, in which the navy prophet said: II do
not ask that we continue to increase our navy
l ask merely that it he maintained at it's

Still the heterodox World is not satisfied:
1t consults the 1912 Bull Moose platform,
framed under the direction of the Big Stick,
and there finds pledge ito maintain for the

two hatteships. no battleships. whatever it
is, the Grand Admiral has said it."

The Issue nj Chicago

Z ROM all the excitement. and charges, and

may be made with full assurance of its ac-
curacy. 1t is this: If the Old Guard is suf-
ficienty hungry for pic 10 swallow Roosevelt
and his insults Roosevelt will be nominated.
He is the logical Republican candidate. lie
is the apotheoss of hatred of the President.

would make good slogan to accompany
Anything to beat Wilson" The rest Of it
does not matter Our own Judgment is that
the reactionaries prefer the Colonel to
Hughes, and that they will prove 1t when the
time comes to vote.

Irreverent Attack on the Colonel

MO matter what lordly attitude the Colonial
= assumes, no matter what noble and
patriotic sentiments he expresses. some
Irreverent iconoclast is certain TO launch Low
sIninded gibcs at his attitude, his sentiments
and even at his sef-exalted self. The latest
conspicuous offender in this respect is the
New York World which quotes the Colonel
az having said that he didn't need the lesson
of the North Sea battle to teach him what
our navy needs, because he had, in his special
message of April. 1905. made an earnest plea
for four-battleships-a- plan, and that
whst he then wrote applies to-day.
& Any loyal admirer and follower OF tho
Colonel, or Of the Grand Admiral, as the scot
ing World terms him, would have accented

But chained to peace by golden chains,

In peace too long that land had dwelt,

But e'er through darkness shone n light,
Upheld by Kitchener of Khartum
Above the stars, beyond the skies,

To earth again and freedoms quest
martial spirit strides that way
And bold Dyes look into their own

Each hero rises and makes room,
The deep-voiced chorus scars to greet:
