Colonel Theodore Roosevelt declared at Spring
field yesterday, that the election Of William Hale
Thompson to the United States senate would be a
calamity. The Chicago Tribune takes the same view.
The only difference is that the colonel is sincere in
his opinion, but the Tribune has its own candidate
and the nomination. The one overshadowing fact
in both instances however, is that if Thompson is
named by the Republican partJ it would not be sur
politics.

at would be foolish to predict that
no emergency viii arise when il will

to sacrifice all at the alter of the

Such an emergency if it ever arises,
will come from the developments in

! must say however, that the chaos in
European Russia is gradually spread,

est measure of anxiety on the part of

in the far east is threatened.

Yes! She has not yet made and sepa-
