“We ask that their promises and oars be judged by what has been done in the immediate past We ask that sober and aensible men compare the workings of the present tariff law, and the conditioas which obtain under it, with the workings of the preceding tariff law of 1894 and the conditions which that tariff of 1894 helped to bring about*’—Piuwintirr Roose-

velt.

oar opponents, who now appeal for the ground, y which and socne seek to

have confidentially understood, that if triumphant they may be trusted to prove false to every principle which in the last eight years they have laid down as vital, and to leave undisturbed those very acts of the administration because of which they ask that the administration itself be driven from power.”—Pbksidknt Roosevelt. A RESOURCEFUL LEADER. Owwatry «o U* (oawrBtalat»4 oa IS*

Pr**ld*Bl'. Latt*r.

The New Haven Register, usually Democratic, hits this to say of President Roosevelt's letter of acceptance: One way to estimate the fighting strength of an army; which Is what a political party la. la to study Its lead A hold and resourceful leader can perform wonders with his men. whether they represent or not the normal fighting condition In numbers and organization. Theodore Roosevelt U a hold and resourceful leader, and he never appeared more ao since be tered public life than In this letter of acceptance. ,Kor his political enemies to deny the fact or to withhold # full realisation of Its value as a campaign document will he to weaken their own lines of offense and defense. Though not a pupil of Senator Platt In thy Sunday school where Governor Odell learned hi* political p's and q's. and though but a reluctant supporter of James G. Blaine. Mr. Rooeevelf has outplayed all of tlirth ns a practical politician. He has learned. If he ever doubted It that to be a leader one must be self confident before he Is sure of his soldiers. In this respect there la no letter of acceptance to compare bis with. He steps to the firing line and with a popular LIuntnesa 'of speech passes In review before him all of tbe acts of his administration, which have been criticised and salutes each one as Bound In conception, wise In execution and beneficial In achievement. His IS tbe attitude of tbe famous old beau who advised younger swains to ••never explain nor apologise.*' It Is tbe attitude, moreover, of an astute politician who understands human nature. especially In 1U weaknesses, and knows bow to appeal to It - It is tbe attitude of tbe politician militant who challenges his enemies to combat and it will for that reason Inspire bis party larger endeavor and set for tbe spellbinders a livelier pace than they hare themeelves^cnown bow to take. From our point of view tbe country la to be congratnlated upon tbe receipt 1 letter, which, while seat to Speaker Cannon. Is addressed to It. It gives assurance of tbe debate which mast follow. Though the Democrats are unfortunate In the errors which they have mode,daring recent years, which Mr. RoaaereR takes full and clever advantage of, there is still a wide difference In their attitude toW*rd policies of government to be hereafter enforced. Mr. Roosevelt declares that os be has done be will continue to da It Is now tbe duty of )fr Parker, speaking for his supporter*, to state as clearly and boldly os Mr. Roosevelt has done what be proposes to do IT give* tbe opportunity. In no other way can tbe vote of tbe electorate be cast intelligently. As the Hartford Conrent aptly, pats It: “No man who votes for the next president of tbe United States con truly say that be Is prepared for that responsible duty until be bod read this letter. This la not to aay that after reading tbe letter be will necessarily vote for Theodore Roosevelt. He may not Bat at any rat*, if be does so vote against Tbeo dors Roosevelt after tbe perusal of tbtr letter be win do so with hid eyes open, and that Is a state of mind on the pan of tbe mlllloaa of voters of this coan try that Is eminently to be desired."

Judging what has been done and In an deretanding what is planned. It was imperative that a nation founded on the Idea of freedom and liberty, whose government U of the people. If true to Itself should have regard for Its corn ideals and should endeavor to localcate them In the minds of Ita wards. Theoretically, perhaps, an autocratic rule, with an Id concealed contempt for tbe Filipinos, would hare bsen more successful, but tbe United States Is not an empire, and William McKinley. who formulated tbe American Philippine policy, bad no desire to vlo late our tradition*, but be hoped to elevate the Islander* In tbe solution of this problem of government.
