RoosEVEIaIs COUP DE ETAT
President RooseyeIts action in
bringing about an arbitration be-
tween Russia and Japan To de-
ternline peaceful settlement Of
the war in the far east was avon
derful diplomatic victory. 1t was
q master stroke Of diplomacy and
as soon as it became definitely
known the whole world paused in
respectful and applauding admita-
ton of the brilliant coup de etate
he accomplished. The people and
the press Of the world are ringing
praises Of the accomplishment
which they term the new world
brand Of diplomcy. Roosevelt's
work was characteristic of modern
American diplomacy. 1t is the
kind that acts and does things
while braided state officials of other
nations are attending tea parties
and thinking the matter over.
Considering the result of the
war in the far east and the plight
81 the Car, his kingdom, his army
and his navy, it is most probable
That peace will be decided upon
BIZ the two belligerents. In bring
ing about these peaceful oyertures
between the two countries, the
Roosevelt diplomacy does not mere
end with the acceptance Of the
Offices of good will by the japanese
and Russian governments, but Dip
lpmatic maneuvers will continue
toward the end Of bringing about
m established and satisfactory
peace between the two countries.
AS this new world brand Of diplo-
macy acts and does things while
other diplomats think so will it ae-I
eoplplish a task once begun and not
$500 " Aat uul4e. III mlglL De
said Of the American brand of
diplomacy as of a patent catharticI
Which is well known In this coun-
try because of its wide advertise
msnt: sit works while you sleep.''|
Rooseyelt's coup de etat empha-
&izes the growing respect and in
fuepce of the nitUed States in in
ternational diplomatic relations. II
shows that the United States is be-
coming world power OF great inn
portance day BY day and in keep
ing with the wonderful progress
and advancement Of the nation.
Should a peaceful settlement of
The war result from Roosevelt's ac-,
hon it viii indeed be a thing of in
finite good in the worlds civiliza-l
tion. The war has brought death
10 thousands, and countless or
Iphans and widows, shattered homes
DESTROYED millions of dollars of
properly, and caused delnoraliza-,
ton that will be felt for many
years to come. The war may bring
about good results in the recon
struction Of an autocratic govern
ment that has hitherto been a dark
blot Of shame upon civilization;
yet the strife has gone as far as it
can towards anything in that re-
spect. It could continue now with
only disastrous consequences. Its
end therefore is a consumation nee
essary for the worlds prosperity
and particularly for the prosper
ity of those peoples who are most
sorely afflicted by its consequences.
And Roosevelt, our own sTed-
.dy, did it in behalf of the Ameri-
can people. 1t is not surprising to
ms who know what kind Of stuff.
Roosevelt is made of. He is an
American from the crown of his
head to the sole of his foot, a typ
zeal American. There is only one
thing We can find fault with him
for-and that is his declaration on
the eve of his election to the pres
1dency not to again accept another
