Where MT. BOrah Comes Gut
(New York Times)


 In of his early fighting speeches at Chicago last month Senator Borah said that nobody had asked him to run for the Presidential nomination He had flung himself into the campaign on his own motion He added that T will stay in it until I'm thrown out The Senator not thrown out He slowly ceased to be Presidential possibility until the time came at Cleveland when he himself announced that his name would not be presented to the convention. This did not mean, however that he had lost interest in what platform the Republican party might adopt what candidate it might nominate.
 On both these subjects he continued to express himself with his customary vigor and postiveness though he would occasionally seem to contradict what he had said at another time. Thus in of his speeches he had declared that the platform would te of no lasting concern it would use perunctory and ambiguous expressions which the public would soon forget But the candidate would be everything and would make his platform. People did not know which of these two opposite views would be domin- ant in Senator Borahs mind until he reached Cleve land Then he forgot all about candidates and con- centrated on the platform. This well understood by the committee on resolutions which treated him with the utmost deference sought him out for con- ferences, night and day and apparently yielded to him every point on which he insisted. He wanted a strong plank against monopoles, and got it. He wanted promise that the farmers would be absolutely protected by tariff duties against foreign agricultural imports of any kind, and he got that. He wanted the World Court rejected and rejected it was. He wanted the word gold" left out of the money plank and the committee left it out Unfortunately for MT Borah Governor Landon put it back in after the Senator had left for Washington, apparently in the happy frame of mind of one who cared not whom the Republicans might nominate for the Presidency long he might write the platform that would bind him.
 Later there appears to have been fly or two in the Senator's ointment of joy. He in doubt exactly what Governor Landon means about gold and other things. Besides he is now finding his interrupted Senatorial duties so pressing that he has not had time to think out clearly what course he ought to follow in this Presidential campaign If it were safe in this case to judge the future by the past he would be expected to support Landon for the Presidency and run again for the Senate in Idaho. But those who know Senator Borah best explain that he most likely to do the unlikely, and to along a curve which the most skillful political mathematicians could not have plotted in advance

ROOSEVELT, THE MAN OF COURAGE

Again Franklin Delano Roosevelt has been ac claimed the leader of the Democratic party; Judge Mack, his nomnator, said, the leader of the war of humanity against greed
 In the formaity of placing his nomina- tion for the second time candidate for the Presi- dency a great many flowery speeches were made From the words of impassioned followers it could easily be gathered that he the perfect The fact is that the President not perfect man. and does not propose to be He has made many mis- takes has every in public or private life who is worth his salt Only the useless make mistakes because they do nothing.
 But the head of the Democratic party and the nation has one quality which marks him as leader far above most others of his time. He has limtless courage He has political courage which flares out but occasionally in men elevated to high office who are dependent politics for that elevation. Some may say he is just a politician. He is a smart politician but he is more than that
 It took more than just a smart politician to step forth boldly the very outset of his first term in office and close every bank in the land by procama- ton when millions were wailing about seeing their money again It took courage to open them again in face of the hysteria which was sweeping the country It might well have meant political doom It took courage and vision to then proceed with a program which was aimed to rehabiliate entire national setup, which begged down in a slough of despondency. One bad mistake and even worse chaos would have resulted
 It took courage to go at of the major seats of the initial trouble and get the National Securities Ast which guards against such manipulatons, law of the land It not be overlooked that President Roosevelt was going into the baiwick he knew well when he went after the market. He had been inter esed in the brokerage business for years with his pr vate capital. He knew the game. All the guns of high finance were leveed at him. but he went ahead and the undying gratitude of the nation for his action.
 It took courage to institute immediate action fIr the relief of the people of this country which provided for in the partys 1892 platform only in a general way. The battery of opposition opened up immediately with terrific barrage. contending he did not follow his parry platform The President fol- lowed the party platform but he went further in its general interpretation to meet the most drastic gency this nation has known since the Boston tea party.

 There may be much evil gossip regarding both men and women Scandals will be uncovered and pub lie service discounted, but the wise will close their ears to evil reports.
 Sports that claim international in terest are under an omen that seems rather unfavorable to American fame. Widespread discussion and hard feeling are prognosticated as the summer advances and tales ex- pand.
 Women are subject to unfavorable planetary influences today and they should curb tempers. Nervous ten sion may be severe and in certain places heat may contribute to dis comfort.
 This is not conspicuous rule for love affairs. Quarrels with weekend visitors may be easily recipitated and jealousies may be widely prevalent.
