THE N

In u recent issue, the Kansas City Star
and Times paid President Roosevelt the fol-
lowing beautiful tribute:
at is commonly said in Washington
that there has not been another President
within the memory of the present generation
whose integrity of motive has been so I'M
i~versally recognized as that of Theodore
Roosevelt.
Ellis character is so transparent that
everyone admits the absurdity of question:
ing the honesty of his endeavor to give the
whole country the best possible administra-
foes who come in contact with him declare
without hesitation that he is square" In
fact, that is one trouble with him. II is so
natural for him to do the decent thing with
out regard to the exigencies of politics that
he frequently gives offense by compelling
men trained in more devious methods to live
up to his standards.
NATURALLY, there is little personal
sympathy between the President and the
typical politicians. His ways are not their
ways, nor his thoughts their thoughts. lie
would rather have an hours conversation
with an intelligent layman than a ten min
utes' talk with the politician. lie is not
close to the political leaders, many of whom
regard him as an interioper. The conse-
quence il that he has fewer friends in Con-
gress than many other Presidents have had,
"But all this time he has been enlarging
his hold upon the people. The average
American likes nothing better in public men
than a combination of courage, honest ant
ability"
