WHAT WILL TEDDY DO

Is Teddy Roosevelt the friend OF
trusts The Ice Trust provides an
opportunity for him to respond to
this query, and to demonstrate to the
American people the honesty and
sincerity Of his answer. 1t is assert
cd that the organizers of the Ice
Trust violated sn official oath, and If
the ambitious Governor of New York
does not punish these infractions OF
the lex terra it will, indeed, be ex'
tremely inconsistent in him to antag-
onize the trusts in other States, and
as q vice Presidential candidate take
the stump, crate and howl against the
corporations and combines. Teddy
very evidently has chance to make
q political "hit, " but his bucking
act must be consistent and above
critieism-o otherwise it may prove s
disastrous political mirror. The
country wants no yellow journal SEN
sstionalism. The people are sick Of
being Aimfammed and humbugged.
Men of principle and stamina are in
demand. The political eraw6sh and
acrobat is fast going into disrepute,
and wise policy suggests that Teddy
should pounce down upon the in
trenehments of the Van Wyck clique
with his reputed San Juan Hill dash,
heroism and patriotism. Teddy is
something of war hero, and should
he prove a Gnbernstorial hero, q
brilliant jewel will be added to his
crown.
