SINGULAR POSITION OF ROOSEVELT. , MORAL APPEALS. .- ALL COLOURS FOLLOW HIS BANNER; tIZ TELEGRAPH —rKESS ASSOCIATION—COI'YIUGnT. London, May 18. " Tho Times," commenting on President success in going behind tho ordinary political machinery, cutting athwart- party managers' lines, and boldly bringing tho .Federal and State Governments i into friendly co-operation for tho conservation of tho national resources, remarks -that moil of all parties, representing most diverse interests, have vied in supporting him, which affords a striking evidehcb of tho effect produced by> Mr. Roosevelt's vigorous propaganda of sound moral and social- ideas.

' " If it is necessary in tho United States to. seek, a new unity based on more .directly social anfl material needs, the necessity," continues "The Times," "is not less.in our case. American example ought to stimulato .the Empire to cleir.:uul greater, liarmfany in inter-State-relations, closer cooperation, and more .reasoned 'coordination of all parts for the icqjiinion good of tho M'hpjc." \ . RE-DISCOVERED THE COMMANDMENTS. "Do . you know,-Theodore, what I like.best in you is your now and original discovery of thfe Ten'.-Commandments." This (jibe Is' 'attributed to one. of President Roosevelt's political jcplleagues; who received, with mixed feolings -the new campaign of .moral dictation and. "straight talk." ' "To-day no one is too small (p be called, a liar from 1 White. House," fleered ail ' opponent; but "the big 'stick" 'continued on its'way,, and.tho'acknowlejlgmerit ,o'f "Tlip Times"' is' interesting as 'a verdiet pn the proved results' of the Roosevelt' policy. The. manner in "which it Vises abovo party is indicated jn'some-'degree by of support which'the'measures of the Republican President receive from the ' Democrats.' •So much so that'tlie.New jYork "World" has. suggested that Theodore Roosevelt should receive the Democrats' nomination for tho Presidency.
