The PRESIDENT AND THE SENTINEL
From the Indianapolis Sentinel.
The Sandusky Oho) Register od-fashioned thick and
thin republican thinks that The Indianapolis Sentinel
shows unnecessary haste in determining what President
Roosevelt proposes do"
The Sentinel has determined what President Roose
welt proposes do" not preudged him and does rot
intend to do But the Sentinel expects his administration
to be conducted strict republican lines and if So it will
not OF course meet the approval of the monarch the
daes which does believe i'll republican doctrines or mill
ces But this will be President Roosevelts misfortune
President Roosevelt and the Sentinel we're in accord about
tariffs subsidies etc. before he became practical politician
lie was extreme civil service reormer an extreme free
trader and opponent of subsidies bounes and all
sorts OF class legislation But the president knows that the
legislation that be demanded by the great moneyed inter-
ess which finance its campaigns and supply with attorney
generals federal judges secretaries of the treasury etc
President Roosevelt going butt his head against
stone wall lie is not going break with his party II NAV
against the grain but he will have to carry out the noc
dictated by Perpon Morgan, Mark Hanna and the other
gentlemen who have been for years managing the re-
publican party Tor the benefit of the business interests of
inc country The Sentinel will crcse him for so doing
1t believes that public official should carry out tbe no
OF the party which elected him in so far as thew are well de-
hned and II he can not conscientousy do this that it his
duty to resign
President Roosevelt, practical politician" will m
uouDted fulfill his contract and hence the Sentinel really
anticipates little nothing from his administration in th
way OF relief from tariff eNacons the repeal of special prv
ess or the reform of the civil service However there arc
OF degree ii not of kind the various inotie
to which the republican party stands committed The nri
PIE oil protection vicious in itself but application in
some cases more Objectionable than in others All n
echve taxes morally and economically wrong but tb
amer IN degrees OF injustice and burdensomeness 81 t
every sort OF special privilege All are wrong in prncin
m some are more nequtable and oppressive than others
We may therefore, perhaps indulge the hone that Ps;d
Roosevelt will go the full lengths with his mart, hut LII
seek TO moderate its and at least some of the
demands OF Morgan Hanna al for licenses to prev mon
ne people always well to hope the best and hone
nay exist without any strong degree OF confidence
In the meantime the Sentinel does not FORGET tb, :;
'ns Mckinley and Roosevelt the country really voted fo
extreme protection ship subsidies and the general Hs
oroeTam Of civilization Of the neonle for lie boe.
