Ar. Roosevelt's Justification for His
 Pension Order.
 Even among Republicans there has been a curious display of interest in the effort of some leading lawyers ban ded into the Parker Constitution Club to show that the Presidents policy has been without, due regard for the Con- stitution. The members of the party in power possess so brilliant leader and so progressiyea candidate for the Presi- dency that if they have waited for the productions of the Constitution Club it has been without concern or anxiety. Possessing the king pin in this great electoral struggle, these thoughtful voters, who can fight well in campaign, but yet are good Ameri- cans in matters of national policy and law. have wished to see what could be evolved from profound minds to over throw a record of executive achieve ment seldom duplicated in the piece lful history of a democratic country during a space of less than a quaden- nium. They have welcomed an attack, q contest, a fanking movement, and as they survey the Constitution Clubs pension order pronunclamento they see what fogeyism can accomplish on that question.
 ] That history repeats itself is q pro- verb familiar to all. and the Constitu- tion Club handles the attack on the President capably until, like 0yn1a at Liat Yang. it proceeds to try to cap- tlre his base. For the famous order President capably until, like Oyama at rant q Cleveland precedent. When he anticipated the possible criticisms of his decision he had this good defence. Perhaps if MT Cleveland had been an Andrew Johnson variety of Chief { Magistrate President Roosevelt would not have thought it wise to take his course ir So important matter as a model for his own He used the CleVe- land dietun because it's maker was con- seryaitive, and he extended the scope of the principle by few years with q positive Knowledge of the want of his predecessors s sympathy with the old 4 soldier From The Providence Journal.
