Fool War Talk

Several months ago there was a
minstrel joke that ran like this:
"It's too bad dat Roosevelt man
aisn,t President now"
GLOW dat?" inquiries the other.
"Well, eff he was President, de war
would done be ovah."
ooh, yas-ovah heah!"
1t was joke then, but hardly now.
All of Roosevelt's declarations have
suggested the same thing.
We wonder if the blatherskites who
are talking wildly of national honor
really know as much as they should
about personal honor and if they
have any good idea of what participa-
ton in world war would mean to
them and to this beloved country.
We think not.
The man who is looking for war is
a damnphool or munitionist.
When we use this rough language
we do it in all kindness and charity
and with complete confidence that
most of the sensible men and women
of this country are with us.

Roosevelt Again

There have been some rapid-fire
developments in Republican circles
recently. The Old Guard has busted
itself nightly in order to strike upon
fitting presidential candidate who
can win before the Chicago conven-
ton, now fourteen days off.
The delegation of stalwarts that
went to Oyster Bay last Monday
found Theodore Roosevelt bending a
listening ear. He was hearing the
rumble of applause at Chicago, and
when he said, "and appreciate the
spirit in which your visit is intend
ed" he left out all mention of pre-
meditated onslaught, cut-and-dried
program, and such other things that
accompany the theatricals necessary
to bamboozle the public into believ-
ing in the spontaneous combustion
that just set itself off by it's own i'm
pulse.
The Times alludes to the scene as
Impressive" 1t must have been.
There stood the greatest of them all,
cool, calm, deliberate-and waiting
not having moved hair to get the
nomination, not even wanting it, yet
seeing to it that when the shot was
ready it would hit him amidships.
For fneness, for extra finish, for
the ultimate polish necessary to go
on politics to make it smooth, there
stands at Oyster Bay the master
artist of them all, the slickest article
of pure, unadulterated con there is.
1t is our candid opinion that in try
ing to coddle the self-lauded, self
nominated King of Progressives into
accepting the Republican nomination,
the party is crucifying itself upon a
cross of egg shells.
The country that baked at Grant
for a third term will not swallow

The President, of all men, must have

broader success than many are will
