It may be that the Now York state
Republicans wore sincere in their ten
der of the gubernatorial nomination to
Colonel Roosevelt, and it may be that
he was likewise sincere in his state*
Mcnt of his reasons for refusing to ac

ble' that there was a game on to roi
rter the colonel and that he was run
ning enough to see through it in time

that extricated him from bis political
fetters, the chances are that he would ,
have been little heard of afterward
As matters now stand. Colonel
Roosevelt is footloose to ply his trade
as a private citizen and patriotic ad
vocate, without regard for a single po
litical obligation or contingency. He
prefers, so he states, to give himself
up for the time being to a close study
o| the internal and international
iiiie^finns which art* imw the chad
ionoornment of tin nation, as well
as to do everythin, in his power to
wards the successful prosecution ol
the war. In such e»p;»cit\ he is hound

to pay bis ban- of the price in the
blood of his family. The sympathies

And no political honor that In* might
now seek could possibly equal that

ROOT’S CALL TO REPUBLICANS.
Is it too much to sa> that Klihu
Knot's remarkable address to the New
York state Kepubli- ails was something
more than a partisan exhortation
that it waived all political consideni
lions and dealt solely with the dic
tates of sound government? What lie
said on that occasion makes a pecul
iar appeal to the thinking citizen, er
gardless of political beliefs, and the
chances are that even President Wil
son and his associates, if pressed to
the point, would have to admit his al
legations and indorse his contentions
in toto.
Were the able ex-senator simply a
politician and nothing more, he might
have contented himself with a stir
ring arraignment of the administra
tion for its shortcomings, before the
war and since The facts were avail
able and he doubtless could have made
a clever ease on that score. Rut the
venerable statesman possesses dig
nity that rises above mere partisan
ship for its own sake, and broad vision
that sweeps far beyond the range of
sight of his fellow citizens He be
holds a new America in the making,
and he w< ’! have his party rise to
meet new -lies in the same spirit
as they m» in- old. He invites his
fellow K'| i-nans to a contempla
tfon of sot ■ rung more than a mere
scramble tor office on any pretext
available. 11* counsels his party that
service durum tin present crisis is
more essential than political success.
He* would not adjourn politics this
year, but In* would put it on a higher
plane than ever before
And how would he accomplish »hi
Simply by putting the Republicans on
guard of the people's interests that
arc* liable to be lost sight of or ignore d
while* the* partv in power oc< tipie*
i 5 s • • 1 f primarily with tin* prose-cut ion
oi tin* war To this e*n«l In* urge s flu*
'•■aging ol a strenuous campaign this
'all that will bring into open di-< u
sion eve*ry vital issue concerning the
American people*, such a campaign a
would make* of tin Republican party
a v chi ! * * fo«- tin* utterance of honest
opinion everywhere. lie bedels that
nr affairs are* now run in Washing
ton. tin- minority party is the* saving
grace of th< nation and that its use
fulness must in no wise be impaired
Hence* he* would have- Republicans
everywhere name their stronge st nu*n
for representatives and fight for their
e lection, on the theory that such men
<an servo the* e-ountry in bettor fash
ion than those’ who, because* of party
affiliations, necessarily come under the
spell of executive domination.
And if perchance, as the signs ol
the time's seem to indicate, a Repuh
Hean majority will be* returned to con
gross, he senses no alarm over the
prospect This for the reason that thr
Republican party is essentially tin
war party and has afforded the Presi
• lent more* consistent support than his
own f’iting several instances ir
which the minority party saved tin
day for the administration. In* von
tur**d the assertion that tin* ITosid**nl
would have* nothing to fear from a Re*
publican congress \nd at ,-iov rat*
b* -a bin it a pro posit ion that Is pi air:

And so Republicans are urged to
take up arms in earnest this year,
not so nun h as critics of the adrninls
tration or the conduct of the war, hut
for the furtherance of the construe
tive forces of public opinion in the!
matter of tin* proper conduct of the
war and the settlement of the grave
internal problems that will come aft
erwards.

Deaths From Rattlesnake Bites Are
Very Rare in United States
By ALFRED WESTFALL
Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Colliiu
Of the poisonous snakes inhabiting tin? Initial States, the rattle
snake is perhaps the deadliest and undoubtedly the hot known. There
are a number of varieties of this reptile. Although rattlesnakes are
found in all sections of the country, tin* majority of them are in the
arid and semiarid regions of the Southwest. The most common kind
in Colorado is tin* prairie rattlesnake.
I radically all people enjoying the outdoors are more or lc<s afraid
(»1 getting bitten by a rattlesnake. And yet con.'idcnu_' the nuuiber of
then* reptiles, the number of casualties is \.ry small. In fad, death
from snake bite is extremely rare, d lu re is no coinpari.-on between losses
in tliis country and those in India, when* otl'u ial li inures report ipv*,(Mto
deaths annually. This difference is no doubt largely due to the fad that i
here a large portion of the population (Joes not evince a general inclina
tion to go bare-legged through stretches of serpent-infested territory.
Adults bitten by the smaller varieties of siiake> base frequently recovered
without medical assistance. In recent, years the majority of recorded
fatalities from rattlesnake bite have resulted from careless handling of
captive specimens.
