sSUDDEN SENSITIVENESS.

Some Republicans are complaining that
Governor Cox and Franklin Roosevelt
are not ladylike in their campaign speeches.
Particularly resented are their references
to leading Republican Senators. To
speak of Lodge and Smoot and Penrose as
a Clique" an "oligarchy," or as 'plot-
ters" is the height Of impoliteness.
But these sensitive-plant Senators can
not be killed by epithets. If they could,
they would have succumbed in 1912,
when another Roosevelt was laying
abut him with words that were worse
than blows. He attacked these same
Senators in his full-blooded way as a.. second
story men" "porch-cimbers," " thieves, .
receivers Of stolen goods
Senators who lived through being
bethwacked by the vocabulary of Theo-
dore Roosevelt have nothing to fear from
reviling at once less vigorous and less
picturesque The classic Lodge ought
to comfort his brother Senators by quoting
"Graviora passi," which being inter-
preted means: "You who have been
bludgeoned over the head by Theodore
ought not to vince when tapped on the
wrist by Franklin New York Times.
