REJECTING ROOSEVELT REASONS.

There has been during the past few years a revolt against Theodore Roose welt which is deeper than all the hur- Iah business of a National convention may indicate.
 The changed attitude ef the A1neFi- can public toward MT. Theodore Roose welt is the most patent fact in the present political season. Were the fact not already plain beyond the ne cessity of proof, any man in fifteen minutes might substantiate for him self by asking questions on the streets. There were plenty of Roosevelt enthus. lasts when he stepped into the presi- dency. Then grief for Mckinley Tc- acted to some extent in the form of a considerable sentiment for the new president. The average man partici pated in it and the sentiment was laud. able. Now it has died out of the pub lie altogether, and a questioner in a crowd will have to canvass for some time to find a genuine pro-Roosevelt expression. He will hear a volume of adverse criticism.
 The explanation of the changed mind toward Mfr Roosevelt is simple. The wise skepticism of practical people came to their rescue. Mir Roosevelt's fictitious self lost its attractireness and his magnifed propensity for dis play naturally raised an interrogation as 10 the reality. The American gaze ing aspect as the moral censor and his superficial and strenuous statesman ship. to perceive the inner ambition. narrow egoGsm and blind impetuosity of the real MT. Roosevelt.
 Mir. Roosevelt is not touched with the broad purpose of American deyel- opment. He lacks the sweeping con- prehension which can regard the flu ture as having its foundation in the would disregard the bearings for the nations course established by past ex- perience. He would swerye the Unit ed States from their way and swing them into an ~imperialistic" career MT. Roosevelt is an expeimenter, and he bids the country follow him in ca reer of experimentation. The public mind declines the invitation.
 To his mird the Roosevelt personal fly fairly bulges with dangers. He revels in the thought of war. No man has ever heard from the Roosevelt lips the exclamation that 'war is h@." To him war looms as glorious opportunity for the exploitation of per sonal valor and he constantly breaches knight-errantry to the American sol diery. He frankly despises the sol dier who does not love war for its own sake, and iaments the fact that there was not enough Spanish war to go around" MT. Roosevelt writes books on war. He thunders war in his pres idential messages. War-loving and headstrong, impulsive and impatient of remonstrance. Mir. Roosevelt as the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy incarnates a menace which could not but affect the minds of civilized and Christian people which hate war and hold peace and its normal accom- paniments above mere military aggran- dizement and foreign conquest.
 MT. Roosevelt has given the people abundant cause to consider the heavy responsibilities of the presidential of- fce-the most important in the world, demanding of its occupant the highest ability. the broadest experience in the worlds affairs and fine discretion. MT. Roosevelt has demonstrated the necessity for, man of trained wisdom, sober opinions and discriminating con science to balance the executive action
