out the country, the first copies OF which

the press and literary bureau have been
busily reading the works Of the President
lately, and the quotations in the circular all

the Roosevelt pen during recent years.
The keynote" OF the Roosevelt policy is
taken from the Presidents solver Crom
we'll" on page ST. being: "In great crises ii
may be necessary to overturn Constitutions,
To disregard statutes" etc. This is given as
the first quotation in the pamphlet. II then
is shown that President Roosevelt, in the
course of bis writings, has taken occasion
to excoriate each OF our Chief Executives
from Jefferson 10 Lincoln, with the sole ex-
ceplion OF John Quincy Adams, it being
stated in the introduction to these quota
tons that the Presidents apparent disregard
Of our national presidents and traditions
