ANGLES LETTER.
MachiaveIianism.

President Roo>evelt's comprehensive
and sistesmsnlike message to Congress
has, of course, elected much newspaper
notice. as it affords ample facilities for
criticism. By comparison OF the
different treatments, students of journal
ism could note the difference between
i ,struetiye and helpful criticism, and
m ne caviling.
Two leading newspaper writers have
dealt with the matter at length, and in
a way to distinguish themselves. One.
in spite of the fact that he offered strong
opposition to the election of Mr.. Roose
Welt, has taxed his great skill in success
full effort to deal justly and intelligently
with the message; the other writer has
taxed his ingenuity to hurt the anthor.
These actions represent the extremely
good, and the bad i'll journalism.
The Boston Herald's comment upon
the message is such an artistic misrepre-
ssutation Of the spirit and purpose that
actuated the author of the message, that
it is much to be hoped that the readers
OF that and supplementary articles should
study an unabridged copy of the message
for themselves BY so doing they would
perceive, that the part of the message
which tells s0n the tariff | will com.
municate with you later" does not appear
in the Herald's reprint of the document
The omission is significant Since
many busy people would satisfy their
curiosity in regard to public affairs by
reading Of the Herald's edit urial entitled
"the Presidents Message, what could
be 50 eyilly unfair as dissection of the
original production, TO use words separated
from the qualifying phrases, in order to
make up a telling and certainly injurious
article. This mischievous method is seen
again in the makeup Of headlines, of
articles explaining the psnicky spell in
Wall street, Nothing in the valuable
compilation OF the messages of past pres
idenis is more stateSmanlike than is
Rooseyelt's dealing with the alleged
evils in the carrying trade. No business
man can believe that republican c3n
greSs viii take such action, on account of
the presidents expressions that rail
roads and shippers alike will be endang-
cred" Its safe to predict that every un.
toward event, from cyclones to an undue
increase in the population, will be charged
10 the Presidents advice to Congress.
Patrons Of the Herald pay for and so
are entitled TO correct information as to
the conduct Of public affairs: and be-
sides there really is no sense in playing
politics, or emitting spleen in that
fashion.
Cnlusi criticism Of our public men by
Influential newspaper writers cannot fsi!
to work harm TO our system Of govern.
ment. for If that sort Of thing becomes
a permanent feature of our politics no
really fs man will offer himself for
sacrifice. Theodore Roosevelt lacked
only the opportunity to be the Father
Of his country; but he is a mighty
good son, sNd the people know it,
Pair play is homie play" and IT

Cobb was unfit, or incapable of filling
the office. but because the senate Was
determined to dictate tn Governor Bell
