Verdict: Roosevelt, full OF that cheap
zeal which splashes on the surface with.
out once stirring the depths, has also a
sort OF cunning. In a mole.blind way
he is proyident OF popularity, and will
sometimes plant the seed for such har
vest, rather from an instinct than a plan
and for much the same eyeless reason
that dog buries bone. Here is an
instance where Roosevelt, with no clear
notion that he would ever need it goes
out OF his way to fatter the Southern
vote. A certain publishing house. get
ting out series OF biographies in cheap
form, arranged with Roosevelt to write
the life of Thomas H. Benton" Nat
urally, this was to be OF it's kind South
ern book, and looked to find its thea ire of
sale in Dixie. With this in his mind,
and of intent to "soft soap" the South in
to an eager regard for himself, and 30
strengthen himself against day Of politi-
cal need, Roosevelt, at the expense of
his own region and his own people, COM
plilnents the South as follows: 1t is on
page 38 Of the aforesaid "Thomas H.
Benton"
Says Roosevelt: 1.-THE decline of the
militant spirit in the North was much to
be regretted. To it is due the undoubted
inferority OF the Northern compared to
the Southern soldier. The mil.
tant spirit of these last stood them in
good stead in the Civil war. The world
has never seen as good soldiers as those
who followed Lee; and Lee himself will
rank as without any exception the very
greatest OF all the great captains that the
English-speaking peoples have brought
