President Roosevelt is creating an
impression on the American people
which is distinctly unfavorable. His
recent effort to straddle the Sampson
Schley question was displeasing to
both sides of the controversy and was
clearly cheap and unsuccessful play
to the galleries. His attempt to force
through Congress an army bill which
would cenralize military authority is
an evidence Of overwhelming desire
for personal power-which is opposed
TO the spirit of our form of govern
ment. His unconcealed annoyance at
the frank and truthful statements of
General Miles before a Congressional
committee shows his lamentabie lack
of conservatism and the narrowness OF
his vision Buffalo Courier.
