mutual admiration society Of me too
Teddy and me TOO Elihu" Is the return
rhapsody Of Mr. Roots perioration at
all eNtraVagant considered from the
standpoint Of repayment of course2
Is u any wonder that he was the man
selected by the candidate 20 "lay il ON
strong man OF ability. too, Mr..
Root lie had defended Tweed. Why
not DEFEND the Republican party IN its
hour of non-actOn passlyty, negation
ana mere obstruction? Indeed, he and
the president have minds so much alike
mat they have been suspected Of "un-
conscious Identity Of cerebrauon," OF
thinking the same thoughts In the same
words.
] have heard that In October. 1909,
Mr. Root made a political speech Ia
Cooper Union i'm New York In which

business has prospered under It and Is
prospecting, IL is better to endure some
slight Inconvenience and Inequalities
for time than 20 incur the uncertainty
ana disturbance Of business which nee
essurily results from the process Of
making changes. The mere fact that a
different rate Of duty would be better
than the rate fixed in the statute does
not settle the question whether the
change should be made now or should
be deferred. Every tariff deals with
duties ON vast number Of articles ana
involves vast number OF interests Oft
en- conflicting, and whenever the law Is
taken up In Congress for consideration
with reference TO one change every
schedule In that law Is going TO find
some one urging change In that
schedule, and all the business interests
of the country are going 10 be left dur
ing the long continued discussion In
state Of uncertainty as to what will be
the outcome Of duties upon the things
they are producing, ana therefore In
uncertainty as 10 what competition
from abroad they will be obliged to
meet"
ROOSEVELT AND TARIFF.
And / have heard that the president
on his political tour through the west In
the spring OF 1903 made a speech in
which he used this language IT Il
tOrid INV has on the whole worked well
aud 10 business has prospered under ~
and prospcring now 1t may be better
Go endure some inconvenience for
time than by making changes 20 risk
causing a disturbance and perhaps par
| allze the interests and business Of the
country The fnct that the change In
given rate of duty may be thought
desirable does not settle the question
whether II is advisable TO make the
change Immediately Every tariff deals
with duties on thousands OF articles ar
ranged I'm hundreds Of paragraphs and
many schedules. These duties AFFECT a
vast number Of interests which are OFT
en- conflicting. II necessary for our well
| fare, then Of course Congress must con-
! slider the question Of changing the law
| as a whole or changing IN any given
rates OF duty but we must remember
| that whenever single schedule is COM
| sldered some one win appear to demand
a change in almost every schedule In
| the law; and when II comes TO upsetting
| the schedules generally the effect upon
the community would be ruinous"
Verify, two souls with but a single

not to force a single special interest
! TO take It's lips from the public breast

1t Is not therefore to be wondered at
that the peroation Of the greatest Of

these" II was almost as natural as self

MUTUAL ADULATION.

| what a magnificent piece OF humor
| Is this unbounded adulation OF our fell

"the chief OF these" How humorous 10
praise 50 highly our fellow citizen In
the White House who, in the long line
Of great men who have filled the seat
he now occupies, has himself found
: only about three in his opinion worthy
Of anything like unstinted praise
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln
and himself Verify, the other humor-
lists will have TO retire from business,
"The chief Of these is Mr. Root. The
temporary chairman said, speaking OF
