PLOT AND COUNTERPLOT.
Tha story given out at the White
Rouaa with the President’* approval
of the bibulous but unlocated feast at
which the plot was given away of a
millionaires’ conspiracy to “down" Mr.
Roosevelt's chosen candidate for the
Presidential nomination In 1908 has all
the ’'earmarks” of tha "stuff that
dreams" (or paranoiac*) ”ar* made of.”
Tha first of these earmarks Is the
Insistence of the President and his
mouthpieces that the publication of
the Harrlman letter was "the opening
gun" and was deliberately fired as a
part of the plot. Presently we will
doubtless he told that Hill, the sten
ographer who has been Jailed by Har-
r’.man for selling the Harrlman letter.
Is In the game.
So sane a purveyor of news as the
Washington Post appears to be im
pressed by the "brain storm" raging
the mmiasi'on of the incumbent
of the White House? Not if the
Pren.ient Is sincere In his oft-
repeated sta’.eiv.ent announcement
that he would r.ot have another
tern., and ti.ere is no reason to
doubt the sincerity of the Presi
dent's Utterances on that subject.
It must be. then, that the Presi
dent’s friends are playing this
game that they may have dele
gates nominally instructed. but
whose votes in the convention ere
to be swung when the President
gives the word to the man of his
choice.
There are evidences dally that
the plan for obtaining Roosevelt
deb gates has been put Into effect.
Wednesday Senator Burkett, of Ne
braska. had a long conference with
the President, but would not tnl#
when he left the White House.
Half an h- ur Inter h» pave out an
interview declaring he stood foe the
reuorr.ination of the President and
would ber.d h's energies to that
end. F rmcr Representative
Martin, of South Dakota, as he was
retiring from the last Congress,
made a similar declaration, in a
carefully prepared interview, that
he cave out, evidently, after sub
mitting it to the President.
The outspoken and emphatic de
claration of Senator Hansbrough,
of North Dakota, for Mr. Roose
velt Is not yet forgotten, and this
announcement, like the others, fol
lowed a White House conference.
All these statements appeared to
have been Inspired and seem to In
dicate that the whole of the great
Northwest and the States west of
the Mississippi are solidly In line
for the President or the man to
ward whom he may point his fin
ger.
THE GIANT AWAKES.
News of steady though unobtrusive
military preparations In China has
reached the outside world, but it is r.ot
so well known that a general awaken
ing among the dense masses of the
people Is In progress, encouraged by
the Government, that points In the di
rection of an aroused and assertive
national spirit.
According to an account before us,
"China is not only assembling, equip
ping, drilling and Instructing armies:
China Is also educating her youth to
the military Idea and habit. Hitherto
the pathway to official station and
preferment has been floored with a
poetic philosophy and hedged by mere
scholasticism. Today the test is no
longer that of proficiency In the clas
sics and familiarity with the colorless
and Invertebrate dreamlngs of the
schools. Playing up to the militant
and have somebody holier out
‘Hello, Teddy.’ Ar.il so the Senate
has to deliver the goods.
"Lincoln was a good sort of a
man and did a whole lot for the
country while he served as Presi
dent, and Washington did a lot;
too, but they couldn’t hold a candle
to this man we've got now; they
can't come up to him. He has made
the whole world sit up and take
notice.
"Teddy has got the corporations
on the run.
"He does not want another term,
and means It when he says so, but
what is he going to do when the
people of this country Just sweep
him back in again? The people
won't hear of anybody else. Prob
ably some other man might carry
out his present policies, but you
can’t make the people believe that.
They want him to carry them out
himself, .and they are going to see
that he does It. Why, if Bryan is
put up, he'll get beat worse than
Parker. There is nothing to it.
Theodore Roosevelt will be the
next President.”

see the judge these days but what I
think of his expenses In his recent
campaign for a seat on the Appellate

of the Democratic State executive

making the race amounted to four dol
lars and seventy cents ($4.70)* How is
that for the simple life Almost Ar

and the cost of a telephone message,

that is the situation, the country might
as well avoid the foolishness of oppo

dency for life to Mr. Roosevelt' on a
gold plate. Doubtless there were nu

advice. He will assume the active i through the agency of the war—and
saying that the Harrlman episode “is
overshadowed by the more sensational
statements of the President concerning
the conspiracy which he says Is now
being planned to defeat the policies for
which Theodore Roosevelt stands.”
The Post says, “For some weeks the
President has henrd rumors and re
ports, accompanied by mors or less
circumstantiality of detail, concerning
the organized opposition to the Admin
istration. According to the story told
at the White House yesterday, corrob
oration of a startling character con-
earning what he has been pleased to
call a ‘conspiracy’ was had at a dinner
given <%cently, where a number of dis
tinguished Republicans, influential not
only In a political but In a financial
way, were guests. This dinner was
given for the purpose of discussing the
general political situation. When it
was held or where, are details that are
carefully suppressed, as the friends of
the President evidently do not wish
to permit the precise occasion to leak
out.”
Here Is another earmark of a "fake"
sensation. The fact that the President
can suppress the where and the when
and the who of such a story Is the best
evidence to be had that It never oc
curred. If the Incident had escaped the
newspapers 'n the first Instance, an
exceedlngjy anfikely happening, they
would vary quickly unearth It, in spite
of all the President could do to pre
vent It.
A third mark of Improbability Is the
grouping of Rockefeller, Harrlman and
Hearst together as the “Big” Three of
l he conspiracy. Stranger things have
happened, but seeing will be indispen
sable to believing this.
One of the tricks by which the Pres
ident's candidate and policies are to be
defeated, we are gravely told, Is this:
the conspirators in States where the
President Is very popular are to bring
about the election of Roosevelt dele
gates, well knowing Roosevelt will de
cline the nomination, and then the
votes of the delegates, who are to be the
right sort of men, will be cast at the
dictation of the combination.
