THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
Hughes has been nominated In the R* publicans. Boos -
was named bv ibe Progressives, and the ini 'rest of the poii
tieian.-- all of the country is now contend on St. l.'»ui>. where
the Democrats will meet .June II to name the man who will
head tin ir ticket in the coining election.
Since Roosevelt has refused to ace: pt the nomination of
fered by the Progressives, the show ing of that party in the No
vember elections will not seriously affect the results.
The Progressives always has been a one man party. It was I
organized’ and fostered by Roosevelt, lie is the one man wliO|
c an inspire enough people who believe in him to make a strong
showing against tin* other two old-time parties, but when he re
fuses to lead, the party will disintegrate and the rank and file
-join forces with one of the other parties.
I p,m the action of Roosevelt will depend the outcome of
tin' election in November. It must be conceded that the colonel
holds the balance of power, and it probably will mean victory
to either party if he sees fit to throw it his support.
The colonel’s attitude toward Hughes is problematical. It
is apparent that he has no kindly feelings toward the former
justice, and the fact that Hughes won out against him in the
convention will not serve* to make* a man with the temperament
of Roosevelt feel more charitable toward him.
But that Roosevelt can bring himself to support \\ ilson
seems almost, impossible. He has no liking tor the manner in
which tin* present president has conducted tin* affairs ol the
nation in the pint two years, and' it would be difficult to recon
cile bis active support with many criticisms lie has made ol
"Wilson.
That Wilson will be nominated by the Democrats i- con
ceded by all politicians of all parties. The only chance for his
di feal in the convention lies in the <*ne term plank adopted in
the Baltimore platform. That, however, never was taken seri
ouslv !■ \ anybody, and can easily be iiruorcd.
it may be that Roosevelt, unable to support either of' tlu*
nominees, mav give his support to a man named In tlu* I id
gns-iv< national committee, in which case, while it will not
make a difference in the outcome of tin* general election, the
colonel will have the satisfaction of being able to band out hot
shots to both of the other candidates.

TRADUCING GERARD.
M lic stories coming from Germany show that Ambassador
derail I as being shamefully assailed by a few Americans resi
dent in Germany. These men, with some help from Germans,
have given currencv to reports that the ambassador is acting
virtually as a spy for the allies! that he threatened to set fire
to property belonging to a man who had offended him, and, not
content with trying to drag Ambassador Gerard down, they
have attempted to drag Mrs. Gerard into the controversy by
making silly charges against her.
It would appear from the facts that these Americans care
more about their standing with certain extremists in Germany
than they do for the honor and dignity of their country’s rep
resentative. Ambassador Geranl has served his country
throughout a trying and delicate period in a manner highly
creditable to him. In all the great matters which have passed
through his hands he had labored with faithfulness and discre
tion.—.) uneau Empire.
-- to:
The colonel surprised both his friends and enemies at the
Chicago conventions. Fit* surprised his friends byr not being
able to carry the Republican convention, and' his enemies can
not understand why he won’t accept the Progressive nomina
tion.
----;o:
Actors and Authors are joining the American Federation
of Labor and nuxt we may hear of the ball players falling in |
line, which will cause an appalling increase in the number oi .
strikes.

Just little w .ger that the men in the trenches do known
what they Mv fighting about. Tlmv’re fighting to get out of;
thrm, and it look-- almost like a hopeless task.
Tim flitting nature of the Mexican presidency appears to
have but trifling advantage over some of the jobs in our state
department of education.—Tacoma-News.
-:o:
A half million rabbits are going to Europe to feed the
allied soldiers. With 2,000,000 rabbit feet on their side there
ought to he a change in somebody’s luck.
Amid bewildering thickets of advice as to what should he
done the conservative citizen is looking about for an honest
compass. Who’s carrying it!

But it is the coast people who most feel the need of it.
