Quaker friend who seems TO have such
admiration for President Roosevelt and
to all other QuakerS ard members OF
kindred denominations We commend the
following extract from Mr.. Roosevelts
Life of Benton Il book written by
him before he had imbibed his present
political aspirations, in which he sets
forth his opinion OF these people and
his contempt for the principles upon
which their creed is based. After de-
scribing the violence and lawlessness
of the men who settled the wilds TO the
west of the Allegheny Mountains he
says
But, after all this ruffiianism was
really not a whit worse in its effects
on the national character than was the
case with certain of the universe
