The Presidents English.

Mr. Roosevelt cannot utter the
veriest commonplace without his
admirers falling into raptures over
his illustrious wisdom. For
instance, in fourth of July speech
he gave vent To- this sweetly solemn
thought: Dishonesty is the great
est crime against the nation man
can commit" Some of the Eastern
papers are featuring this bit of
childish drivel as if il were an
axiom worthy To live forever. ANY
body with the mental equipment
of katydid knows that the pres
ident's statement l. twaddle. The
greatest crime man can commit
against nation is treason. Only
by "A powerful stretch of the imag-
ination can dishonesty be twisted
into a crime against a nation. The
man who assassInated President
Mckinley committed greater
crime against the nation than all
the thieves who have robbed il
since the founding of the republic.
1t Ia evident that the president j.
more addicted to impressive words
than he is TO impressive thought.
He scenes to be totally uncon-
scious of the value of language.
and II n sentence sounds well. he
lets it go without any thought OF

realized that language was some
thing to be treated with respect.
the chances are that he would not

Making People Better by Force.

There is prevalent notion that
all the evils that curse human So
ciety can be cured by the enact
ment of additional laws, so that if
there is anything amiss in the CO.
munity. all that is necessary is to
make law forbiddino it.
Never was there a greater mis-
take. 1t is the experience of men
in every age that multiplicity of
laws is certain evidence of social
decay History tells us that in the
DAYS of ancient Rome when its
public men were noted for. their
courage, uprightness and justice.
the laws of the Twelve Tables,
consisting Of one hundred and
fifty text or statutory commands,
EN- braced all the penal laws of
that great and powerful Republic.
In the time of the Empire the
statute book had be come so loaded
with edicts. rescripts, senatus con-
sultums and other laws that there
resulted vast mass of chaotic
ana cOnnictlng rules OF Oruei
which the lawyers did not under
stand and the courts could not dis
entangle. Then indeed, the Empire
which ruled the world was totter-
ing to fall.

of the general knowledge Of his guilt,
this fragrant patron and exploiter Of
vice was four times elected mayor Of
his city. Nothing checked his uncon.

nothing disturbed his brazen sense of

in Minneapolis the corruption in.
