ROOSEVELT THE RIDICULOUS

NOOJLVIII I'LL NlDsNOLIOS
The Washington Post, a repub-
lican newspaper. says: "In times
past we have had many amusing
persons in our political wars. B 'th
Of the great parties have given Of
their wittiest and funniest. There
have been testers, clowns and
mountebanks beyond computation.
But no one like Roosevelt has ever
yet figured at the front. He sur>
passes all the merrymakers Of his
tory, and what makes his achieve
ments so irresistibly delicious is
the Rlaring fact that he does not
intend OF even suspect it in the
very least. The lamented Burton
and the venerable Jefferson realized
the excruciating effect of solemnity
on the part OF the comedian. They
knew how to throw their audiences
into convulsions Of delight. They
were great in their day and gener,
alton, but never half as funny as
Roosevelt is in his. for their so
lcmnity was artificial, while his is
as genuine as the maiden's artless
blush or the college graduates
profound conviction that he has
swallowed and assimilated the
whole sum Of human sapence.
Roosevelt is much more enjoy,
able now than he was two years
ago. Then it was conceivable that
he might be the victim Of per-
fectly natural delusion. He had
no experience Of war. He had
never seen an army in the field.
He knew absolutely nothing Of
military matters. Plunged sudden
ly into a bewildering uproar and
confusion, why should he not have
thought himself the central figure
Of it alp Finding that swift and
conclusive victory had been
achieved. why should he assume
that he had not achieved the great
victory2 He knew that he had
been cavorting and shouting from
start to finish. Nobody had made
more noise or jumped up and down
with greater zeal. He was the only
man who had lost his regiment,
vaulted wire fences and galloped
about until he didn't know where
he was. Why should not a person
Of Roosevelts peculiar turn Of mind
conceive the idea that he was at"
all through He both amused
and grieved US then. We alternate
ly Pitied and derided him. though
we understood his innocent hallu-
cinations, and we felt both merri>
ment and sorrow. Roosevelt was
a very different proposition in 1903.
But Roosevelt is simply ridIcu,
lous now. There is no excuse for
his absurd and impudent preten>
sions. 1t is no longer possible to
overlook his ignorant conceit.
There was a time, as we have said,
when these were both pathetic and
amusing. That time has passed.
Everybody now knows that Roose-
welt did not capture San Juan hill.
Everybody knows that he was not
even there until the hill had been
captured by Others.

We have used neither tea nor coffee
since. One day a short time ago a friend
took dinner with me and asked for a

She was surprised to hear it was Pos
tum, as she had tried Postum before
and it was weak and tasteless, but when
she found out that it must be boiled
quite a long time in order to bring out
the food value and the taste, she adopt
ed it and is now using it entirely Her
children as well as the 'grown-ups' are

JAPAN Is ANGRY
Because Korea Executed the Plotters
Against Queen Min.

Vancouver B. c., June 28.-AccOrding

ecution of General An Kyeng Su and
KWon Young Chin, former cabinet min

leaders of the Progressive party who
We're privately strangled in the Seoul
prison as traitors on the night of May
27. Both were concerned in the plot
which eliminated in the assassination
of Queen Min at Seoul in 1895. For the
past four years they had been refugees
in Japan and returned to Korea under
the protection of the Japanese minister.
Despite this chaperonage they were tor
tured into making full confession,
were then beaten and strangled and
their bodies exposed as traitors at the
Big Bell and afterward drawn and quar-
tered. The Japanese minister tried to
prevent the execution but was refused
an audience with the Korean king on
account of the latter's alleged illness.
All of the Korean officials connected
with the death of Kwon and An have
been sentenced to transportation and
have already been sent into exile, the
latter proceeding being an attempt on
the part of the Korean king to appease
the Japanese government which had de-
manded an explanation from Korea.
This explanation has been rendered by
the Korean minister of foreign affairs.
