THE COMING HERO
Roosevelt May Get His Wings
Scorched
Is Roosevelt Riding For a Fall?
' Is Now the . Popular Idol of the
Country I'lnchot' Trip to Sleet
Him In Kurope What is the An.
wer?
(Hy JOHN TH.MPLK GRAYKS)
Washington, March 2:1 Is Roos
evelt riding for u fall? It is almost
lese majeste even to ask this ques
tion in the face and front of the uni
versal acclaim which attends the tri
umphal marches of the lion-hunter
through the Old World,
Nevertheless I make bold to ask
It. And there are those even bolder
who will answer yes.
PInchot's pilgrimage, points the in
terrogation.
Roosevelt is now at Perihelion.
Never before have his fame and his
fortunes soared so near the blazing
sun.
He comes as near or nearer to be
ing a universal Idol than any man of
the country.
But. many a dazzling wing has
been scorched In the moment. It
touches' the sun. And even out'
strenuous one', is neither asbestos
nor immortal.
There was another great American
who came home from a journey round
the world to a more than Roman tri
umph in the metropolis of his native
land. He, too, had received the adu
lation of monarchs and parliaments
in Kurope. England said of him that
he was the ablest and sincerest states
man' that ever engaged the hospitality
of the mother country.
Touched by the splendid tributes
of foreign countries and softened by
time in the asperities of political
life, it entered the heart of a genous
people to crown the laurels of Euro
pean praise with a majestic reception
in New York. And those who re
member Madison Square Garden on
that August night of 1906, will re
call the magnificent welcome accord
ed by the whole American people to
William Jennings liryah. Every fac
tion was stilled, politics were subor
dinated and the people rose to the
great citizen who In that single hour
enjoyed and deserved the title of the
great Commoner.
That, too, was Bryan's perihelion.
But he soared too near the audacious
sun. His wings melted in the heat
of imprudent speech and action and
he fell, whether or not to rise again
no man as yet may know. From the
loftiest height of all his life he fell
through ambition to the level of the
fallible and mistaken and suspected.
The "bird with the broken pinion
will never soar so high again".'
When Roosevelt lands at the New
York wharves in June he will be
touching the sun of human great-
nes and popularity. ; Every act of his
life will be idealized and' glorified.
His faults will be in obscuration, and
he will appear for the day spotless
and blameless and perfect in the eye
of his country. "Woe unto you when
all men speak well of you." '
DEMOCRATS ARE GAINING.
Democratic Victories in New " York
and Massachusetts Stir the
' G. O. 1. ' ':....'
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Albany, N. Y., March 23 Democratic
victories throughout up-state New York
and the election of Eugerit N. Foss,
democrat, to congress from the rock-
ribbed republican fourteenth district
of Massachusetts, have brought fresh
consternation to the republican leadprs.
The bitterness of the struggle for the
control of the republican party of New
York, contended for by the state leaders
under State Committee Chairman
Woodruff, and the national administra
tion. Is today more accentuated than
ever and party chiefs of both factions
admit that something must be done
quickly to strengthen the G. O. P's.
position in the Empire State.
This sentiment is significant in view
of the resumption of the demands for
wholesale Investigation of the alleged
corruption in the legislature.
The returns from the charter elec
tions in New York state received today
showed a general strengthening of the
democratic forces.

POIXTS TO VICTORY.
The Handwriting on the Wall Seen
in the Foss Victory.
( Ily Leased Wire lo The Times.)
Washington, .March 1!:' "Its lite
Kiudwriting on the wall" is the way
the democrats in the house interpret
yesterday's democratic victorvtin die
14111 congressional district of Massa
chusetts. The '.republicans, too. ad
mit that I'oss' eleclion to lill the va
cancy in I ho house c aused hy the
death of Representative Lovering is
more than significant.' Friends of
Representative P.utler Ames, who is
alter Senator Lodge's seat in the
senate, say that Buchanan's defeat is
a slap at the Lodge machine and
means that" the senior senator will
have the light of his life to get bark
to congress.
Representative Lloyd, of Missouri,
chairman of the democratic, congressional-
campaign committee, said to
day that yesterday's sweeping victory
in the Ray State at this time can be
regarded as a forerunner of -what
may be expected in the November
elections.
"In my judgment," said Mr. Lloyd,
"it will prove a. repetition of the
1904 campaign 'when. the MeKinley
tariff was the issue and we carrieir
the country by an overwhelming ma
jority. The Aldrich-Payne tariff was
the leading issue in the election, .and
was tlie first opportunity for the peo
ple lo express their views on that
measure. Foss' election is a surprise
of course. We thought we would re-
tluce the republican plurality, but did
not look for such a landslide."
"When the democrats can wrest
from the republicans such a strong
district as that, represented by the
late Mr. Leveling," said Representa
tive John N. Garner, of Texas, dem
ocratic whip of the house, "you may
depend on it that such a victory has
more than local significance. Its in
fluence will be felt more or less in
every congressional district in the
country. In more ways than one it
is a slap at the administration and
at the republican majority in the
house. I believe Foss' election means
a victory for us in the next congres
sional elections. It Is evident the
people of Massachusetts do not agree
with President Taft that the Aldrich
Payne bill Is the best tariff law ever
placed on the statute books."
There's nothing a man can be more
ashamed of than having a reputation
for being steady.
