Seriously, while our spectacular Pres
ident is getting a good deal Of lauda-
tion Just now on account Of bis de-
mands OF congress for the passage OF
a stringent railroad law, when the agi-
tation is sifted down, all the bOmbast
and shouts for the galleries taken out
of It, that which remains is much like
other great performances Of this grand
stand player. Not entirely dissimilar
in fact with real service the same gen.
tleman performed at San Jaun hill
when the imaginations Of bis type
writer artist had been cut out. The
cold facts in the premises are that the
legislation demanded by Mr.. Roosevelt
on the railroad question really prom
ises no relief to the public, but instead
could only result in more confusion.
AS stated in an editorial published on
our fret page from the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal, there are already
plenty of laws on the statutes. What
is needed lie their honest enforcement.
In the first place, it is doubtless a fact
that the President is not trying 80
much to influence congress to pass a
law in line with his suggestions as he
ia trying to jolly the dear people to
believe him a great champion of their
rights, and to detract attention from
the fact that there are already ample
laws. but because of dissemination on
his part to push them, the President
is in danger of censure. The political
grand stand artist is the curse of Amer,
lean advancement along economic
lines. It is humiliation to any citi
zen next to a bordering on disgust, thai

digni6ed a position as President of the
United States, cannot develop sufh'
