A CONJECTURE

It may be that the New York state Republicans were sincere in their ten. der of the gubernatorial nomination to Colonel Roosevelt. and it may be that he was likewise sincere in his state mcnt of his reasons for refusing to ac- ccpt it. but it was just barely pOssi- ble that there was d game on to cor ner the colonel and that he was cum ming enough to see through il in time to save himself from being made the monkey. There are doubtless thou sands ot Republicans in the Empire state who would like 10 see Noose- welt elected governor and his election could b" drrompli hod easily. bm 'Ulht it not have been a wclllaid plan ot Boss Barnes and hJs a-so,utr. to ~h"lyc him once and Tor ano The rploucI lrIl for similar scheme put rcrth by Boss rlatt back in l"o". and were it not for stroke of Providence that cNtricatcd him from his political letters, the chances are that he would have been little heard of afterward
 As matters now stand, Colonel Roosevelt is footloose to ply his trade as private citizen and patriotic ad- yocate, without regard for a single po- ltiCal obligation or contingency. He prefers. so he states. to giv" himself up for the time being to a close study of the internal and international questions which are now the chief conC"rnmcnt of the nation, as we'll as to do everything in his power to- wards the successful prosecution of 10 find more contruntment and satis- faC' oN, and he k sure to grow in the cs. .mIrion ol his fellow citizens. More over, he Uuqucstionably senses th" possibilities in this direction more than anyone else
 Recently tn" war in its most griev- Ous and glorious phase has been brought straight to the colon"rs dDo". One of his boys lies buried behind the German lines. Another lies wounded in a Paris hospital, and it Was not long since that a third son suffered injury. He has already been called to pay his share of the pric" in the blood of his family. The sympathies of the entire country go out to him. And no political honor that he might now seek could possibly equal that which has been hoapcd on him and his family by friends and foes alike.

and he we'd have his party rise 10 as they me, he old He invites his fellow ReI ,b;icans to a Contempla- scramble for office on any prcteXt available. He Counsels his party that
 more essential than political success. He would not adjourn politics this year, but he would put il on d higher plan" than ever before.
 And how would he accomplish this ? Simply by putting the Republicans on guard Of tn" peoples interests that are liable to be lost sight of or ignored
 while the party in power occupies itself primarily with the prosecution Of the war To this end he urges th"
 waping or a strenuous campaign this | fall that will bring into open discus. sion every vital issu" concerning the American people. such q campaign as
 would make of the Republican party 2 vChi"l" for tn" rttorancc of honest opinion everywhere. He holds that.
 q" affairs are now run in Washing
 ton. the minority party is the saving grace of the nation and that it's use. fitness must in no wise be impaired. Hence he would have Republicans everywhere name their strongest men for representatives and fight for their election. on the theory that such men can serve the country in better fash ion than those who, because of party affiliations. necessarily come under the spell Of executive domination.
 And if pcrchance, as the signs of the times seem to indicate a Repub. lican majority will be returned to con. gress, he senses no alarm over the prospect. This for the reason that the Republican party is essentially the
 war party and has afforded the Presi. dent more consistent support than his own. Citing several instances in which the minority party saved the day for the administration, he ven tured the assertion that the President would have nothing 10 fear from a Re
 publican congress Nnd at any rate. he submits a proposition that is plain to all namely, that the people have th" right to name whoever they choo~" os their representatives.. And iD in tho turn of events. it should happen that the citizens should vote for a chan@" in the control Of con rrrss, who knows bur what il will prove To be the saving grace of the situation?

Is it too much to say that Elihu Roots remarkable address to the New York state Republicans was something more than q partisan eNhortation- that it waived all political cOnsidera tions and dealt solely with the die tates of sound government? What he said on that occasion makes a pecul- far appeal to the thinking citizen, CT gardless of political beliefs, and the chances are that even President Will son and his associates, if pressed to the point, would have to admit his al legations and indorse his contentious in toto.
 Were the able ex-senator simply a politician and nothing more, he might have Gontented himself with a stir ring arraignment of the administra. ton for it's shortcomings, before the war and since. The facts were avail able and he doubtless could have made clever case on that score. But the venerable statesman possesses dig nifty that rises above mere partisan. ship for it's own sake, and broad vision that sweeps far beyond the range of sight of his fellow citizens He be- holds new America in the making,

And so Republicans are urged to take up arms in earnest this year, not so much as critics Of the admins tration or the conduct of the war, but for the furtheranCe of the construc- tive forces of public opinion in the matter of the proper conduct of the war and the settlement of the grave internal problems that will come aft CrWards

It would be interesting to discover what has become of the dycd-in-thc- wool I. w. w who were so numerous only q few weeks ago. IL is not prob able that they have been shamed into going 10 work; for they have been usu- ally imperyious to moral suasion and their numbers can not have been ap- preciably changed by industrial condi- tons. Like the hobos in busy as we'll as in slack seasons, they have been proud in their boast that they never lave worked and never would work But if is now clear that they have gone somewhere, and without lea"ing trace behind them Can ii he pos siblc that the presence Of the soh. rhasey~ in this parl of tho territory had the desired effect?
