That, too, was quoted as a proof of
this much talked of insincerity, which no
enc ever hears of in the world at large,
but which is heard OF constantly here.
And again, it was not insince.ity, but
ilnpulsivenes. Hunters visit suggested
to the presidents mind the idea that
he ought to decide that case soon, ard
thinking over the situation. he came
10 an instant decision. In went the APP
pointees name, and It reached The Capt.
tol before Mr. Hunter did.
ImpuIsiveness and Confidence.
II is this impulsiveness, this habit Of
doing things at the drop Of the hat,
which constitutes the chief fault in
Mr. Roosevelt as president. For he
often decides wrongly. On the other
hand, his decisions in the three cases
cited were made not at the dictation
Of any politician, but either IN fiat oppo-
sition TO them or in utter Indifference
10 them, and always in accordance with
what Mr. Roosevelt believed the inter-
ests Of the public. in this lies his chief
value as a president.
II is less easy to explain away other
defects, high among which ranks GER
tain divine rightness, which covers not
only himself but his friends. The pres.
idept is not more confident Of the abso.
lutte all-rightncss OF himself than he is
convinced that none of his friends can
err This is what has led him into such
colossal error as his persistent defense
Of LOOMS.
He has been criticised--here, Of course,
ID this unsympathetic and halt hostile
city for vanity and love Of posing,
and the chief counts in the indictment
are his having himself photographed IN
the act OF chopping trees, jumping his
horse over fences, etc.
It is not vanity; it is that sense which
Mark Twain describes as "the circus
side Of my nature" Tom Sawyer had
it and SO did the immortal Yankee who
stayed SO long in King Arthurs court.
II was not vanity which led Tom to get
himself in the limehght; it was appre-
citation OF dramatic effect combined With
natural preference for himself as the
star The Yankee at King Arthurs court
was glad to escape death BY surprising
the Britons with ain eclipse, but not
even the 10y Of escape was eminent in
bis mind over the delight az being tie
centre of the situation and such 4 stu
alton.
A trait that Is as far removed from
vanity as from mock modesty.

wears. he was also interested in we'll
financial institutions both in
