TUESDAY, APRIL D, 1007.
PRESIDENT'S POSITION.
Almost tbo solo topic of convcrsa
tlon in Washington recently bus been
tlui President's disclosure of the at?
tempt to repudiate him by securing
Hie nomination of some one not in ac?
cord with Iiis policies, at the next
Republican convention. With charac?
teristic frankness the President took
the public Into his confidence at the
most favorable opportunity. No soon?
er hud the Harrimnn letter been made
public property than the President
handed out the correspondence which
tended to show that for some reason
Mr. Hnrrlmun desired to eliminate
Senator Depow from the Senatorial
contest. Some nscrlho Mr, Harri
?H^^JttUlfJgst to ^..ilOHl.rc tp.sticceetl
Mr. Depew In the Senate, and the
President is said to have suspected
such to bo. the predominating thought
with tho railroad magnate However
that may ho, the President followed
this sledge-hammer blow with a lon.^
talk with tho newspaper me I H-i
called a number to, the White llou.so
and discussed with the greatest frov- i
dorn tho combination which wns or?
ganized to defeat him lor the Presi?
dential nomination in 11104. At thnt
time Ihe "interests" would have ral?
lied around the lute Senator Hannn.
His death left them without an avail?
able cumlldate and the renegades re?
turned to the reservation and prom?
ised to "he good." This made people
sit up und take notice nnd tho next
day tho President went at It again.
This time he gave out tho informa?
tion that n cabal was now being
formed lo trot out favorite sons, the
delegations to be swung In line at
the proper time for an- uull-Roosevelt
candidate.
The President has thus squarely
outlined tho issue between himself
nnd his policies on one side, and
trusts and corporate Interests on thu
other. "I think I will havo the peo?
ple with me," he said, and he has
some grounds for the belief. The dan-,
ger lies in his announced determination
to retire from the field nnd leave his
mantle to his successor, whom he
frankly desires to select. No one but
Secretary Tuft appears to fill the bill
and not all the specification fit the
genial Secretary of War. Mr. Taft
Is a great man; If his capacity for
work, of his ability, his fairness, as
tntenoss, incorruptibility nnd his gen?
eral fitness for the highest office, no
ono can speak too highly. But Mr.
Taft lacks one quality predominant
In Mr. Roosevelt, naniely. aggressive?
ness. His bent of mind Is not In that
. direction and yet It is that quality In
Roosevelt which appeals most strong?
ly to the American people. They real?
ize that with the handicaps he has
had It has been n tremendous task
to accomplish what ho has and that
the results have been due almost en?
tirely to his restless, relentless activ?
ities. He haB Infused the officials
of his administration from top to bot?
tom with a resistless desire to prose?
cute offenders against the existing!
laws, and to design other laws and
write them In the statute books to
further restrain Uie encroachments
of aggregated and predatory wealth.
Now, with his task only fuirly well
begun, he Hlnceroly wishes to relin?
quish tho reins to a new-comer and
retire to a well-earned rest. All Indi?
cations point, however, to Biich an
Insistent demand un Hie nnrl of the
people Dial. Air. Roosevelt shall con
liriile at the head of nffulrs, that thoj
shrewdest observers hellevo ho will
bfl forced to take the nomlnntlou. No
man can resist tho call which they
hellevo will he made on him In J90S.
A nomination tendered as u sort of
compliment, or one In which there
was a contest, might he declined.
Hut not, they say. one spontaneously
offered by a devoted constituency.
While admiring tho devotion of the
Johns Hopkins student Who tins not
enjoyed as much us one-half hour's
consecutive sleep for two months on
account of the need of watching an
instrument recording tho Ionisation
of air, we do hope that he win taXO
a nap or two before writing up a
theory about the results of his In?
vestigation. There are so many sci?
entific hypotheses already on the
market hearing the marks of Insomniu
and nightmare that n new one, look?
ing as If jt had been slept over, would
he a refreshing novelty.
They have Just Inaugurated a new
system of automatic registers for
cabs In New York Tor the purpose
of protecting riders from overcharge.
Hut what good will that do? In less
than twenty-four hours nrter rney put
the cash registers on (ho Chicago
street ears, somebody had Invented
ami sold to every conductor In the
city, the "brother-in-law," u neat lit?
tle Instrument capable of beating the
register.
What Is the matter with the fel?
lows In the census department at'
Washington that they can never make
a census count or even nn estimate
thnt will please the people chiefly
concenter? Just as soon ns the,
figures are given onp us to any city, j
Immediately there c*?mes n nowi from
that particular place about a false'
count. Are the census counters hold?
ing out on tho cities? Perish the
thought thnt the cities would kick
without cause.
It would be Interesting to know if j
the President bus his Jamestown'
speech framed up or outlined, and It i
would he equally Interesting to know |
thai Just what effect recent develop- J
meilts will have on thnt speech to
which so many people have been look?
ing forward to with so much Interest.
