Two boys jeered Roosevelt at Chicago
and they are making a terrible fuss
about it. Some lads surrounded him as
he was coming out of church and swore
at him and otherwise demonstrated
their hostility to his notions, but there
was no danger and not blow was
struck nor was even a soft boiled egg
thrown. Roosevelt, however, comes
out in an interview and says that he
believes the assault was committed at
the instigation of a Chicago evening
paper, evidently meaning Hearsts
Chicago American. Hurt by the pop
ularity of the American such publica-
tions as the Record; usually admired
for it's fairness, gives color to such a
silly tale. Roosevelt simply wanted an
excuse to pose as martyr. He hasn't
been insulted as seriously as was Bryan
in 1896, and in the effete east, too. The
Colorado affair was aimed at the vacil-
lating and traitrous Wolcott, as Roose-
Welt and everybody else knew, but n
was exploited as an insult to the vice.

"I heard a sermon delivered not long
ago by a young man born in a foreign
land, and in the course of his remarks he
took occasion to eulogize Lord Roberts
and to give him the first place among
Englishmen of recent days. l cannot
help thinking of Gladstone, whose
genius and character for sixty years
illumined not only the history Of his own
country, but the civilization of the
world. Gladstone is to be thrown into
the background in order to make room
for this new born hero who earns his
fame by destroying the Importance of
two little republics. What will be the
result on the character of our nation
IL the thoughts of our young men are
turned away from the arts of peace
TO the science of war?"-William ].

matters. Replying to the committee
headed by General Hurst. of GAINESVILLE.
at the National g. A. r. encampment
at Philadelphia year ago, when a
strong protest was made against the
policy Of the pension department. the
president replied as follows: "There
is no use denying the fact. gentlemen,
that the money power Of the country
Is against any further expansion of the
pension roll" Such statement
amazed the committee. but when we
consider the presidents actions and
policy in all other matters, especially in
reference to the trusts and money ques-
ton. there is nothing surprising about
his statement to the committee except
that he once exhibited some frankness
