THE PRESIDENTS TEACHER.

Seine % our Democratic friends. including
THE New-Iork Evening Post" have found
much focd for thought in the call Of Louis +.
Payn at the White House Mr.. Payn has long
been VIGOROUSLY in opposition 10 the President.
and IL is equally notorious that the President
has not been an admirer of Mr.. Payn. Mr..
Payn, finding his opposition vain and deciding
10 support the President-for his own benefit,
as he himself has explained, since he could
hardly elect Senators and Assemblymen who
recognized his local leadership if he did not
work for the national ticket-went 10 see the
President Then Mr.. Roosevelt If he had lived
up TO the austere standards of The Evening
Post" would have slapped the face of his Wis
itor and warned him not to dare TO cast
vote for the Republican electoral ticket In
stead of that he seems TO have acted like
gentleman toward Mr.. Payn. His critics do
not charge that he made any diShOnorable
promises 10 secure the Payn support, or did
anything but talk over the political situation
with a politician regardless OF old differences
and without requiring of the recruit a certif-
cate Of church membership. This, we learn
from The Evening Post" is compromising
with sim and is IAN unmistakabe notification
that Mr.. Roosevelt means to fight the cam
'paign without any inconvenent scruples. He
Twill spurn no allies. Stop At no artifce."
where Mr. Roosevelt could have acquired the
honest belief. with which even THE Evening
POST credits him. that il is proper TO get on
good terms for politics sake even with old enc
mics and 10 do so openly with conscious virtue.
Perhaps he learned this lesson in casuistry
from that eminent critic OF morals 1.-THE New
York Evening Post which in 1892 was so
anxious TO please Tammany and win Mr.. Gro
ker's support OF Mr.. Cleveland that II refused
10 print even as an advertisement its own pre-
vious editorial comments on the character Of
Mr.. Croker and Tammany. He may have been
strengthened in his belief that he may law
fully make use of all the fish that are hauled
into his political net by THE Evening Posts"
recent assurances 10 the conscientious that il
was nothing against Judge Parker that he
cepted the patronage, or rather appeared as the
l,roteEe, OF David Ii. Hill. With such notable
lessons in the nobility OF STOPPING 10 conquer
''Spurning no allies and fighting a campaign
without any announcement scruples," il IS not
surprising that the President politely accepts
all the support offered him. IT is n pity
that he had such teacher, Otherwise he might
have measured up 10 the mugwump ideal and
insulted everybody outside OF the Reform Club
who offered 20 vote for him.
