ANOTHER THAN ROOSEVELT. Many get satisfaction out of straw votes for the purpose of determining the political sentiment throughout the, country, and this method has been used this spring with the usual fre- quency, but there have been at the same time a number of actual tests which unmistakably reveal the senti- ment of the people, and particularly | bird of the members of the republican par- ty as to where their preference lies as to the standard bearer in the com- ing presidential election. In spite of claims to the contrary there has been a strong effort made to secure support for Theodore Roose- velt, regardless of the fact that be maintains that he is and intends to remain a member of the progressive party, but it has been demonstrated on several different occasions that it does not appeal to the majority of the party members.

Had New Hampshire wanted the Sol- onel at the head of the republican ticket, his supporter should at least have been chosen. Following a much harder fight for a delegation pledged to Roosevelt’s nomination, the voters of Massachusetts registered their op- position by selecting the unpledged delegation. Michigan has declared for its favorite son on the first ballot, but thereafter the delegation from that state, formerly a bull moose strong- hold, is committed to Hughes. Now from the other coast comes the result of the California primary, which shows the regular republicems winning over the faction headed by Hiram Johnson the ardent Roosevelt lleutenant. These tests furnish a basis for the opinion that the republicans are not in sympathy with the movement to nominate the man who led the revoilt possible the present adminis- tration, and that they insist that an- other shall be the nominee.

We can stand a good many shocks and endure a wide vari- ety of tremors if we are convinced that the structure is proof against any possibility of being swept away. The darkest experience of a think- ing mind is not in some period of moral dombt. It is hard to see the right worsted and the wrong triumph- ing in the hurly burly of life. But there is something infinitely harder than that.. Tt is to question whether there be any such thing in this world as right or ‘wrong at all. It is to fall into a mond of pessimistic distrust ot all the spiritual foundations.

We will trot out that little private con- viction that “my way is best” We do not say much about this, but we real- ize that it is a bar to progress and may be to comfort and to recovery from ill-health.
