which we have heard so often: He is
unsafe.

admit this to he true. To every grade
of law breaker, high or low; to Il man
who would rob a till or a ballot box;
to the sneak or the bully: to the hypo-
critic and the humbug, Theodore Roose-
welt is more than unsafe; he is posi-
lively dangerous.
But let MS be serious with these peo-
pie. What are the coefiicients of safety

courage; the wisest coward that ever
lived is not fit to rule. And intelli-

From the Review Of Reviews 0ndJ:
The President is a man Of such varied
talents and activities, and his asnain6s-
tfation has already been so full of ex-
ceptional and divsrting incidents that it
Is quite too seldom remarked in THE news
papers that the chief claim to dhtfne-
in tba
ton is the high grade Of regular, or1b-
nary administrative work that asAarae-
terizes the various dspartnents almost
without exception. So indomisable Ca
paeity for work has probably never
been Known In any executive post in the
United States as Mr. Roosevelt shows
from morning until night every day. and
without apparent fatigue or impairment
OF energy.

personal courage have enabled him to
impart his convictions to his party.
