The fact that President Roosevelt

the new Presidents attitude on the
much-discussed question of the WIS

person Of the President. Plalniy
President Roosevelt does not feel in
need of any further protection than
Citizen Theodore Roosevelt had anu

The President is not led to this de-
termination by a spirit of bravado, but
