was brave but had not sufficient ability. Harrison was intellectually acute but not morally nor sufficiently courageous. Under McKinley, kindly soul, Ihe trusts had their own way and no violation of the law against spoils politics was punished. It was not until Theodore Roosevelt became president that a serious effort to eradicate these monstrous abuses and to vindicate the supremacy of the government over the private and personal interests was really made. Tho Civil Service law of 18S3 and tho Anti-Trust law of 1891 had been passed before ho became president, but although something had been done, then penal provisions were taken rather in a Pickwickian sense than as serious enactments. The Ohio supreme court had dissolved tho Standard Oil trust, but that trust reappeared immediately in other forms. Harrison's attorney general prosecuted the sugar trust, but the supreme court declined to take jurisdiction. Roosevelt Man of Hour. "Such were the conditions when Theodore Roosevelt became president. With him camo a man with the intellectual ability and moral fibre to meet every emergency. With his advent came a sudden moral stiffening and men who did crooked things were driven from office. Theodore Roosevelt is the man of the hour in every sense of "the word. When the history of his administration is written it will be summed up in the sentence, "He turned on the light." And now the question before the American people is, What is to be done to prevent the work from collapsing? It is only begun and its consummation is in the far distant future. Whether that work is ever completed depends on the answer to the question, Who will be the next president? Free Speechh Advocated. ' There has been great criticism of Roosevelt for trying to "dictate the nomination of his successor. He ought to remain quiet and let the party choose." "The party Is wiser than any man in it." "We ought to be free to choose the man we want." And so on through an infinity of platitudes. If tho party is to be wiser than any man in it, that must depend upon the fact that every man in it is willing to express his own convictions. If the men who compose it will not say what they think, there will not be much wisdom in the aggregate expression. Generally the men who talk this stuff are tlie very first to renounce the inevitable conclusion to which it leads. If the party is wiser than any man in it because it forms a larger aggregate of wisdom, then the whole country must be wiser than the party, because it is a still greater aggregate. Yet the men who acquiesce in bad nominations out of deference to the party's wisdom, are often those who resist most violently the conclusion which overthrows that wisdom by tho election of the adverse candidate. The true theory is this: let each man be truo to himself; let him say what he thinks and do what he can to promote the success of good principles and good candidates. Then, and then only, is the aggregate conclusion entitled to respect. Duty With Roosevelt. "If ever the duty lay upon any individual to do this, that duty lies now upon the shoulders of Theodore Roosevelt. He is a member of the Republican party. He is the leader of that party. If he is to remain sileut. whose duty is it to speak? Is it 10 bo only the selfish Interests that are demanding the power to t(il- their will of in-

iquity? Are they to be the only influences entitled to be heard? Is disinterested public spirit the only thing to be silenced? For that is largely what this clamor means. However much men may disagree with the methods of the president, few will question that his great aim has been the general welfare. The loudest voices against him, are the voices of those who have some ax of their own to grind, some interests which have suffered through his interference on behalf of the public. If he is not to make bis own voice heard in the coming counsels of the party, he will be abandoning the field to the camp followers who would debauch and corrupt it. What nonsense Is this clamor about dictation! If the president discharged men from public office liecause they would not do his political bidding, if he refused to appoint men unless they would agree with him in the choice of a candidate, that would be indeed, a cause of complaint. Every citizen, whether he holds office or not, has the right to his own political convictions and his own choice of nun, and so has the president, and it is for exercising this elementary richt

that fault is found with him. It is true that the president's influence is

very great. It is true that hundreds ot thousands will follow where he leads, because they believe that he leads aright and that he lias better means of knowledge than they have. Why not? That is the privilege and prerogative of leadership. Has Done Great Work. ' lie has done a great work for the people, "the plain people" as LJncoln used to call them, against the tyranny of capital the debauchery of spoilscraft and the abuses of pedatory wealth. For one thing he has caused to be established the Department of Commerce and Labor and the Bureau of Corporations, which required publicity for the acts of the gigantic corporations that were oppressing the public . When revelations were made of iniquities in the meat packing establishments, he had them investigated. He procured the enactment of pure food law and government inspection of lbf great sources of our meat sunnliev Hp secured an investigation

of the rebates granted ty the railroads to the Standard Oil and other kindred monopolies, and instituted the prosecution by which they were compelled to halt in their evil career. He secured tne passage of the Rate Bill preventing unjust discriminations by those who controlled the great arteries of our commerce. He repressed the corruption in the post-office by the conviction of the guilty. He upheld the civil service law by the dismissal from office of those who violated it. He promoted the peace of the world by the settlement of the great war between Russia and Japan, and won the admiration of mankind by his peaceful intervention. He administered the government of the Philippine Islands for the benefit of t he inhabitants, conducting the natives by educational methods into a higher civilization than they had ever known before. He began the construction of the Panama Canal. He maintained an efficient and peaceful government for the Cuban Republic under our protection. In all this work he was aided more than by any other means by the splendid services of our great War Secretary. And now the question arises. Who is to succeed him iu carrying out the great measures he has inaugurated'' He has dtclined a re-uomination and a re-election. Xo personal ambition stains his Patriotic desires, but what man in his place could be indifferent to the future of his country? He is naturally solicitous that his great measures shall be perpetuated. He will not. willingly relinquish his power to place it in the hands of a re-act ionary. so that the great things he has done shall come to naught. Personal ambition he will surrender, but not the public welfare. The great work must go on; it must go on under the leadership of one w ho is able to conduct It to a successful termination. Therefore it is close to his heart that his successor shall be a man fitted with the same divine fire, a man competent, able and willing to carry out tke policies he Las inaugurated. If he were to hold aloof and say in effect. "I do not. care who will succeed nie." he would be leaving his great work half aecomnliE-hed. Nav

more. If he were 10 be silent now. b ' wniild inrnr the suspicion of -pe).;inj

his own re-election, which could best be accomplished by his silence. But he takes no such equivocal position. He tells the world frankly that the man who has co-operated with him in his most important measures, in the Philippines, in Panama, in Cuba, in the regulation of the trusts, in the reform of the civil service, that this man, is the man most competent to carry out his policies. No one knows so well as President Roosevelt, who can bring to an effective consumation the work he has begun. He has preeminently the right to speak and those who believe in him, those who recognize his leadership in the great moral and political reforms he has instituted, and in the higher standard he has set for the whole country, will not be slowto accept his counsels as to the choice of his successor."
