He was a frequent contributor to

WHAT ROOSEVELT HELD BEFORE

President Roosevelt is an author as Is
4 volumes. One of these is upon our
very emirent North Carolina statesman
Thomas Hart Benton, who served as
senator from Missouri for some thirty
years. Hon. William Jennings Bryan
has been eXoUining this book and he
draws from it passages that show thai
the president held views as to Mani
fest Destiny" quite unlike what he sent
!GTth in his recent message to the con-
gress. We make room for a part of
what is cited Dy Mr.. Bryan. On page
&c Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Among such people Benton's views
and habits of thought became more
markedly western and ultra-Americar
than ever, especially in regard to our
Entertainments upon the territory of
nelghDorlng powers"
Again on page 266, the then compare
lively unknown writer said, and doubt :,
less it was his honest opinion:
"Of course no one would wish to see
these or any other settled communities

want no unwilling citizens to enter our
Union; the time to have taken the lands
was before the settlers came into them
