IS MERELY JUGGLING
Roosevelt’s Attitude Not Likely to
Deceive Anyone.
That He Is Seeking the Presidential
Nomination In 1916 Is So Patent
That His Disclaimer Is Sim
ply Absurd.
Mr. Roosevelt's Maryland friends
are not convinced that his letter to a
Republican of that state takes him out
of the presidential equation. They ex- 1
pect hltn to be a candidate In 1916.
1 heir heads are very level.
" ken Mr. Roosevelt declared
promptly upon Ills triumph In 1904
that he would not stand again for the j
presidency he was entirely sincere.
It was a moment of supreme satisfac
tion to him. lie was occupying the
highest office within the gift of the
people, and by a most Impressive ma
jority they had Just endorsed his
course in it. He had four years more
*n which to impress his views on legis
• ation. So, recalling the third term
“radition. generally accepted as an In
hibition, he gave the country an as
surance which moved It to general and
sincere admiration.
Rater, the tempter came. Out of
power, Mr. Roosevelt began to sigh
for a return to power. He had tasted
•if It, and he liked It. He was still
young, and his appetite strong.
Some of his friends who had not
fared as the) thought they should have
fared under his successor played upon
Mr. Roosevelt’s weakness. They told
him that Republicanism under Mr.
Taft had degenerated, and that only !
he, Roosevelt, could restore It to Its |
former estate of respectability and
usefulness. As this assurance jumped
with his ambition, Mr. Roosevelt em
braced It and acted on it. Swearing
he would never run again, he ran
again.
lie is eager to make another -ace. !
He and his map!. Intimate friends are
preparing the way. Nothing could be !
Mainer. Hroad daylight is not more so. I
Fob this reason Mr. Roosevelt's
present juggling with the matter will ;
cause some regret even In his own
political household. It presents him 1
in a disappointing aspect. He Is j
stooping In an effort to conquer. In
1912 he appeared as a man who had 1
changed his mind. NVhat he then did
he did boldly. He shied his castor
into the ring, and called attention to 1
the headpiece and what It signified.
Now he is disclaiming what every- '
body is convinced of. Seeing that '
Hull Moosery is disappearing, largely !
under the charge that it represents ]
only his personal fortunes, he is de- j
daring that, although he is wrapped
up in the cause, the cause is not
wrapped up In him, and that he may '
not be the one chosen to lead the Hull j
Moose party two years hence.
The country will not be deceived. It
has taken the measure of both Mr.
Roosevelt and his aiders and abetters
for another term for him in the White
House, and It will read all his de’Iver
ances In the light of common knowl
edge and common sense.
Koosevelt Helps Democratic Party.
There is no doubt that the Demo
crats have taken on renewed hope In
all of the states In which Roosevelt has
spoken. Hoth Republicans and Pro
gressives would have united In Ne
braska to take one final smash at
Hryan, but Roosevelt, who is so much
opposed to bossism. ordered his fol
lowers not to make the combination.
In Springfield, III., Colonel Roosevelt
I dined with Governor Dunne, much to
the joy of the Progressives. His large
audiences in Illinois have infused en
thusiasm into his party, and thus In
creased the chances of Democratic
success.
Surely Not a Popular Tax.
The new Issue in the political situ
ation has already become acute. Un
der a gag rule which limited debate
and prevented the offering of any
amendment, the Democrats In the
house have imposed an additional tax
burden of over $100,000,000 upon the
American people
It will, perhaps." said Representa
tive Garrett, of Tennesse, "not he a
popular tax." Solomon never spoke a
truer word. It will not. This is hard
ly the time to add to the burdens of
the people, especially when the destg.
nation of "war tax" is absolutely In
accurate.
Sees End of Progressives in Ohio.
i he death of the Progressive party
In Ohio is foreseen by Ralph D. Cole,
of Findlay, former member of the
house, and recently a candidate |n the
Republican primaries for Crtifed States
senator. Mr. Cole was recently In
Washington to confer with Republican
leaders The Ohioan declared,his con
fidence in the success of the Republi
can state ticket In the ftuckeye state
and predicted that the party will gain
eight or nine seats from 6hio in the
next house of representatives

Treasury Must Be Reedy.
These aro parlous Mn:^s the world
over We are not at war with guns In
our hands *vlih any power, but are em- '
barrassed by conditions which the
fighting powers have produced; and
those conditions must he met a* they i

the tariff •* a failure as a revenue
producer Democratic appropriations
are record breakers I,et the respon
sibility be Axed, but let the treasury
be put in shape for any emergency i
that may arise.
PEOPLE WILL WANT TO KNOW
imposition of War Taxes Must Be Jus
tified by the Democratic
Administration.
Since the United States Is not en
gaged In war the American people will
scrutinize closely the war taxes Im
posed by congress.
There is no chance that the taxes
will be approved by the people In a
cloud of patriotism Marching troops
will not distract the attention of the
voters. Hands will not be present lo
drown the protests of those who are
pinched by the taxes
The people will want to know why
they are being taxed. They will want
to know whether such taxes are neces
sary, und whether they might not have
been avoided by the practice of a llttlo
economy since the IVmocratlc party
came into power.
If then1 were any real tames which
influenced the election >f the Demo
crats, aside from the spl-.t in the Re
publican party, they were the high
cost of living and the pledge of econ
omy.
The tariff for revenue only has
proved a failure from a revenue-pro
ducing standpoint. Before the war be
gan, imports had increased amazingly,
but the revenue had fallen off.
If the new tariff cannot be defended
as a revenue producer. Its acceptance
by any portion of the public Is doubt
ful. Certainly it cannot be shown to
have reduced the cost of living. Its
effect on business and employment Is
already an issue in the congressional
campaign.
By bringing forward a plan for war
faxes, at a time when the United
$tateB is at peace, tlie Democratic
party deliberately focuaos attention
upon extravagance and the failure of
the tariff for revenue only. It suggests
an inquiry as to the reason why econ
omies have not been practiced, uud j
why the tariff for revenue only has
not produced the revenue.
Many of these issues might have
been overlooked by the public If they
had been left as abstract problems,
but with a large proportion of the pub
lic feeling the pinch in the pocketbook
some original thinking will be done ut
the polls.

Hy directing public notice, us he has
done, to the proclivity of Interior
banks to hoard reserves at this time
and restrict credit, tho secretary of
the treasury may help to relieve

which Mr. McAdoo reported the dis
covery of excessive reserve accuinula
tion in many parts of the country wan
not altogether fortunate, however, and
I raised some doubts as to whether or'
j not he was taking altogether the view
! he should of banking conduct. These
| doubts are strengthened by the no
tlons which the secretary of the treas
ury has expressed regarding current
interest rates on loans.
There is all the difference in th»
world between an unreasonable denial
of credit and the grant of credit at
high Interest when Justified bv the

war.
Democratic "Economy."

NEW PAPAL SECRETARY OF STATE

tary of the congregation of the holy
oftlce. whom the new Pope Benedict
X\ has appointed secretary of state.
Is regarded as the member of the
Sacred college best fitted to occupy
this ofTlcet second only in Importance
and Influence to that of the papacy
Itself Just at thlH time, because of the
heavy burden resting upon the Vati
can due to the war. He succeeds Car
dinal Merry Del Val, secretary under
Dope p|UR x.
Cardinal Ferrata has hod a diplo
matic influence such as comes to few
of the college of cardinals. He has •
had exceptional experience In ecclesi
astical matters, and he has always
manifested a friendly disposition to
ward the leading statesmen of Italy
and the reigning house of Savoy. His
choice of secretary Is most pleasing
to the Italian governftient, and It Is
prophesied he may do much to heal *
the breach between It and the Vatican.
I he new secretary Is slxty-soven yoarH old He was the papal legato to
the world's eucharistic congress on tho Island of Malta In April, 1913, and on

REDMOND’S NOBLE SENTIMENT

In u manifesto Issued recently, gives
expression to noble sentiments. He
declares that the Irish people appre
ciate the fact that the llritlsh democ
racy have decided to give them bnck
their national liberties; that Ireland
has promised that a concession of lib
erty would change dissatisfaction to
friendship and good will, and that
Ireland would bo false to her history
did she not willingly hear her share
In the burdens and sacrifices of the
present Kuropcan war.
Finally he makes the following
appeal:
I would appeul to our country
men of a different creed and of oppo
site political opinions to accept the
friendship we have so consistently of
fered them and to allow this great

PRACTICAL HEAD OF RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
The government of Russia Is prar
♦ Ically In the hands of Prime Minister
Goremykin. When he was made
prime minister, February 13 of the
present year, the rumors of approach
Ing war began to spread In every cap
ital of Europe. Goremykin has for
many years been one of the leaders
of the Nationalist party In Russian
politics The Nationalists stand for
Pan-ftlnvlsm. They are the bitter foes
of the Pan-Germanic doctrine which
unites the Teutons of Germany and
Austria. The Nationalists of Russia
have, for some time, been openly to
favor of a war which would make
the Hlavs supreme In Europe and
check the growing encroachments of
the Teutons In the Hlav territory of
th«> Ralkans.
Goremykin was a member of the
Russian cabinet when Nicholas II as
cended the throne 20 years ago. He
has been In the confidential counsels
of his sovereign ever since, sometimes
a* a ni^mDer or Hi** rapinef and sometimes In a private rapacity He is now
a man of seventy flve, enormously rich, haring made his money largely
through business affairs connected with the government which do not par
tlcu.arly redound to bis honor. He was bom to the hereditary principle of
autocracy, v. as educated in It and has served It with conviction re-enforced by
keen Intellect all his life. He Is an aristocrat In thought and adopts the pose
of the aristocrat In his manner, apparently seeking to emphasize bis conde
scension to the people when he appears before their representative*
