HAY on Roosevelt.

Secretary of State Hay was the chief
speaker at celebration of the tittieth
anniversary of the birth of the Republ;-
can party at jackson Michigan, July 4 u
at which in speaking of President RoosC-
welt he said in part:
Even on this narrow issue they will
dodge most of the details. Ask them
has the President been a good citiz n,
good soldier, good man in all pei
sonal relations? Is he man of iltelli-
gence, of education? Does he know
this country well? Does he know the
world outside? Has he studied law,
history, and politics: Has he had great
chances to learn, and had he improved
them? Is he sound and strong in mind,
b 1dv and soul? Is he accessible and
friendly to all sorts and conditions OF
men? Has he the courage and the car
dor, ard the God-giying ability to speak
to the people and tell them what he
thinks?
To all these questions they will al
sW er yes. Then what is your obi elton
to him? They will either stand speech
less or they will answer with the parrot
cry which we have heard so Of en-: He
is unsafe In certain sense we shall
have to admit this to be true. To every
grade Of lawbreaker, high or low, to u
man who would rob till or ballot box
to the sneak or the bully; to the
hypocrite and the humbug, Theodore
Roosevelt is more than unsafe; he Is
positively dangerous. He is prompt and
energetic, but he takes Infinite pains to
get at the facts before he acts. ln all
the crises in hieh his has been accused
of undue haste, his action has been the
result of loug meditation and well-rea-
soned conviction. II he thinks rapidly
that is no fault, he thinks thoroughly,
and that Is essential. When he made
peace between the miners and the opera
tors, it was no sudden caprice, but the
fruit OF serious ref -ction, and this act OF
mingled philanthropy and common sense
was justified by great practical result.
And as to the merger suits, now that
people have come to their senses they
see that his action in that case was
as regular as the equinox. He was
informed through legal channels that
statute had been violated. He did not
make the statute, but he was bound
by his oath to execute it. He brought
the proceeding which 1t was his duty
to bring. The courts, from the lowest
TO the highest, sustained his action. He
did what it would have been high
misdemeanor not TO have done. The
laws in this country are made to be
obeyed, whether il is safe or not. 1t Is
always unsafe to disobey them.

A. to Exports.

A Democratic contemporary, anx-
ious to make point against Repub-
lican policy, declares that exports
have fallen off enormously" and then
asks, "Does the Republican party stand
pat on thatP'
The Republican party is well con-
tent to "stand patn on the record of
exports under Republican tariff. If
our Democratic friend had not got
its facts, or supposed facts, out of
its inner consciousness instead of the
official statistics, it would understand
why. When the exports of the fiscal
wear lust closed are tabulated they
are likely to show the largest total
ever recorded For the first ten
months of the year they reached the
enormous figure OF 81 256, 000, 900, and
as The journal recently showed, they
were far ahead of those of our nearest
competitor, Great Britain.
The sh wing is particularly salts
factory as regaris the products OF
American shops and factories. For
the first eleven months of the year
the exports OF manufactures were
valued at S4l0,536,478 as compared
with 1878, 90 900 for the correspond
ing period of 1923, and 1911 900, 600 for
the corresponding period of 1901 2
These figures are about double those
of ten years ago, when the country
was under Democratic administration
When our Democratic friends are
looking around for campaign materials
they will do we'll to steer clear of the
statistics of our export trade.-Boston
