POLITICS, THE PEOPLE AND THE MAGAZINES When viewing the political situation in the Republican party at the present time the advocates of Theodore Roosevelt, and they are legion, point with pride to the great popular victories which the Colonel has won in such states as our own Illinois, Ohio, the Old Bay State, Maine, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and it is indeed a great. showing which has been made, for the delegates which bear the Roosevelt mark represent many more real Republican voters than do the ones which have been instructed for Mb. Taft, coming, as many of them do, from the southern states which really have a very small republican population. But the magazine question is the one that puzzles one, when it is considered in relation to and with the popular voice as spoken in states that represent such a large proportion of the Republican terri- tory in the country. States that simply must be carried by the repub- lican nominee, whoever he may be, if the party hopes to elect the next president. There is Harper's Weekly, edited by the brilliant and fearless George Harvey, which is as bitterly against the nomina- tion of Colonel Roosevelt as it is possible to be. In an editorial in the Weekly today, Editor Harvey says : <<•••• Mark these words! Roosevelt's election to the presidency would spell revolution within ten years. And by revolu- tion we do not mean mere political overturning of a system of govern- ment. We mean actual warfare by force of arms upon the rule of a despot. We mean bloodshed and carnage, class arrayed against class in a mighty struggle for supremacy, vastly more destructive than our war of section against section. Is there a limit to the ambition of Boosevelt? Would he be permitted to assume dictatorship without a struggle? Answer these two questions, and consider the inevitable consequence of intrenching the Man on Horseback in the White House. "We are not hysterical. We retain faith in the sober judgment of the American people. We believe they would repudiate Roosevelt and .all his revolutionary projects at the polls. But the risk is too great, the stake too vast. Roosevelt must be beaten in Chicago. President Tapt must not flinch. The National Committee must stand firm. The great body of thoughtful, patriotic Republicans must back them up with all earnestneess and determination. "Down with the Demagogue! "Smash the Third Term! "Save the Republic!" From a consideration of Harper'» Weekly, which everyone expects to be radical, we turn first to the Outlook, of which Colonel Roose- velt if himself associate editor, and, while we find Dr. Lyman Ab- bott, the editor, favorable to the candidacy of his friend and co- worker, we do hot find this magazine going to the same limit in sup- porting as these which oppose the Colonel reach in denouncing and defaming him. After these come the New York Independent, that great magazine of review and study to which most real thinkers turn with no small degree of respect and confidence. In an editorial in the issue of this week, dated May 30, the editors say: "We have held that Mr. Tapt is entitled to a renoininatiou and that; his party should give it to him. We think that he and his friends should continue to seek that renomination and we are glad to hear that he is steadfast in his course. It is his duty, in the face of all obstacles and without regard for a prospect that may seem discourag- ing/ to uphold his candidacyâ€"his duty to himself, his party and his country. Heretofore we have shown why, in our judgment, he has earned a nomination for another term. His record in office has not warranted a withdrawal of the following remarks about him, made three and a half years ago by Theodore Roosevelt : " 'I do not believe there can be found in the whole country a man so well fitted to be president. HJe is not only absolutely fearless, ab- solutely disinterested and upright, but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation's needM, without and within, and the broadest sym- pathies, with all our citizens. Be would be as emphatically a presi- dent of the plain people as Lincoln was, and yet Lincoln himself would be no freer from the least taint of demagogy, the least tendency to appeal to class hatred of any kind. . *' 'The true friend of reform, the true foe of abuses, is the man who steadily perseveres in righting wrongs, in warring against abuses, but whose character and training are such that he sever promises what he cannot perform, that he always a little more than makes good what he does promise, and that, while steadily advancing, he never permits himself to be led into foolish excesses which would damage the very cause he champions. In Mb. Tapt we have a man who combines all of these qualities to a degree which no other man in our public life since the Civil War has surpassed.' *'By withholding from Mb. Tapt a renomination the Republican party would make itself ridiculous, virtually repudiating the work of his ^administration and saying that the party's record at Washington for Jthe last three and a half years has been one of failures. He should noti give up the fight, unless the convention forces him to do so. If the Republicans of the United States choose to reject Mb. Tapt and thus to mark him as the first of their presidents to be so humiliated, they should be required to do it in the open convention. And if they prefer Mb. Roosevelt, it is there that they should say that in the man who so misrepresents and abuses Mr. Tapt has been found for the first time an American worthy of honors not given to WAsmNOTON, Jef- FfeqjSQN or GfBANT. The Independent is utterly opposed to a third ter&fer-Ms. Roosevelt or anybody else." Snt it is a free country.
