HOW TO BEAT R008EVELT.
There is just «»ne way lo beat
Theodore Roosevelt, and lliat is
to BEAT IIIM TO IT!
Not in all the history of Amer
ican politics has there neon a man
with such unerring instinct for
the POPULAR thing. More
shrewdly and exactly than any
other man is he able to j^auge the
exact slate of the public mind.
Bryan has always been, and ev
er will be, far in advance—a sort
of axman to clear ways; La Fol
ic! I e works withoul regard to pub
lic sentiment and popular sup
port; Wilson has not ye I sull'i
eiently divested himself of his
scholasticism lo be au idol, and
as for Tall, lie will always be far
in the rear, panting and protest
ing.
Hul I he colonel—ah, there is
one who will never be an inch loo
far in front «»r an inch too much
behind, lie has the gift of sim
nllnneousness without the slight
est touch of previousness. Mas-j
!er of the psychological moment,
.-lieI amazingly blessed with the
dramatic instinct, lie never fails
to do the popular II. nig at pre
cisely the popular lime.
Take, for instance, his rec.mt
attack on I lie judiciary and his
urgent support of the recall. To
be sure, Bryan and La Follel.lu
haw* been advocating the recall
for many months, and Mr. Roose
velt has been steadily wagging his
head against it in a sort of owlis'i
doubt and deprecation. In this he
expressed the mental altitude of
the mass, for belief in the sacro
sanct ily of the judiciary was
something thai the American peo
ple found it hard lo abandon.
Hul lo, in the last few weeks
outrages and injustices, perpe
trated in the interests of the.
privileged classes, have aroused
I In* country lo a burning sense of
the necessity for popular control
of the judiciary. N'of since I hoi
civil war has a more intense Con-I
viol ion possessed the people.
Like a flash, Mr. Roosevelt j
lakes his ear from llie ground, I
his fingers from Hie public pulse, j
and leaps forward. To hear him. |
one would imagine that, the recall j
of judges had never been broach
ed before, and that in making bis
demand. I lie colonel stood lonely
and alone.
[.a l''o I lotto ami Hryan are push
oil Im nno side, for |hoy were loo
far ahonil--Tafl ami Wilson aro
lost sijrht or, for I hoy aro far in I
I ho roar, ami it is llio colonel who
stands as I ho sole expression r»f
I ho popular ilosiro and demand.
Tho man is a marvel. One may
disliko him and disbelieve him,
hul it is not possible lo keep from
applauding him. lie is tho most
perfoel expression of the normal
mind I hat I ho country has over
known, and I lie most skillful fol
lower of Iho "crowd," and yol,
such is his drastic instinct, that
ho gives | ii«> impression of lead
ing. commanding. directinK.
In Iho last analysis, lie isn't
a proal man mi* oven a very able
one; lie stands convicted of in
veracities. jrross favoritism!, sur
prising littlenesses and huge sol
flshnessos, hut 'lie things that
ruin other men become forgotten
trivialities in the colonel's case.
I,ike a kaleidoscope, his inces
sant play of color forces for
ce! fulness of form. Ho has the
pift of color—he blazes like a
ino'oor. Ho dotlos reason ami pre-'
\ent.» scrutiny, so powerfully does
bo appeal to imagination and
emotionalism. Even while wo
may believe that his nomination
and election would be a national
menace, owing to bis known in
eonelusivoness, we may not with
lio'd our applause and admiration
for 'he greatest actor that ever
walked the political stage.--Rocky
Mountain News.
CAPTAIN BARNETTE'8
ATTORNEY THREATENED
(Continued from page n
Forty witnesses summoned over
the trail to Iho coasl would con
sume an aggregate of about 800
days time, which at $1.00 a day
would moan $3,200. An average
fare of $*00 to tho coast and
return, to include meals and oth
er necessary traveling expenses,
would mean an additional $10,
000, or a grand tolnl of about
? 19,200.
A telegram from the attorney
general to District Attorney J. J.
Crossley, notified him of the fact
that Robert Gibson, assistant
prosecutor at Pittsburg, will be
sent to Alaska to prosecute the
indictments in the bank cases.
Mr. Gibson is a prosecutor of
national reputation, having act
ed as assistant during the pros
ecution of the bank cases at Pitts
burg when that city had a clear
ing out of bankers that had been
stealing the people's money. Prac
tically all of the cases resulted
in convictions.
Bank Examiner J. L. Proctor,
who has investigated the local
rases, worked with Mr. Gibson
