The President and the Muck Rakers,

The President and the Muck Rakers.
President Roosevelt's observations
regarding "the man with the muck
rake" which we publish in full in an
other column this morning, will doubt
less receive the attention of every one
of our readers. The address was de-
livered at Washington Saturday at the
lavine Of the corner stone of the new
Office building Of the House of Repre-
sentatives For some time it has been
well known that the President would
sneak in condemnation of the disgust
ing extent to which the abuse and Wilt
fication Of public men has been carried
Of late in certain quarters. The Presi-
dent handles the theme with the
emphasis and straightfOrwardness
characteristic of him when he writes
or speaks, and the utterance is CRATE
fully received by the masses OF the
American people.
Possibly some of the mudslingers will
endeayor 10 twist his speech into an
attempt at whitewashing, but in this
they can hardly be successful. The
American people well know that there
is no more consistent and honest re-
former living than Theodore Roosevelt,
no man more earnest and determined in
fighting wrong and corruption wher-
=, h. p,tt Of
fairness and decency has been outraged
by the attacks upon prominent and
reputable Americans, notably some of
the members Of the United States Sen
ate which the yellow newspapers, and
equally as yellow magazines, have been
indulging in.
The President points out the harm
which comes from such indiscriminate
and hysterical assaults. He shows that
cial profit out of the destruction of
character can only result in calamity
He deplores the sensational and lurid
and untruthful fashion," the "hysteri-
cal exaggeration," the "mendacity and
mudslinging' of writer's whom he does
not name, but who are well known to
the American public. 1t is a strong
and timely public utterance and cannot
fail to have a good effect. 1t cannot
fail to drive the man with the muck
rake. off the center of the stage
President Roosevelt has done another
splendid service for which he deserves
the hearty thanks of all patriotic, hon
est and decent citizens of the republic.

which he was nominated. AS the guest

day evening. amid great enthusiasm
he announced his candidacy for re-
election, and stated his views with a
fearlessneSs and courage that will
command the respect of all, and bring
into line the weak-kneed and trem-
Zling. In a manly fashion he assumed
the full responsibility of the Sturgis
enactment law while he acknowledged
that the enforcement of the law might
have been the chief cause Of Republic
can defeat i'm the spring elections in
the cities. He had no excuses or apol-
ogies to make. He should stand
Squarely- against the notification of
law. The Governor awakened the
widest applause when he said that he
would willingly forfeit both the conf
dence of his party and the respect of
the people OF Maine if they are To be
won and retained only by forgotten
promises and broken OathS, and that
he should use the law to enforce pro-
hibition with all the power, influence
and resources at his command.

The Masses Favor Law and Order.
Dexter GaZette)

The address of Gov. Cobb before
the Deering Republican Club last Fri
day evening had been looked forward
peoplc of Maine As had been antic-
ip2ted. the Sturgis law was the sub
ject of his speech. In clear cut and
fOrcible English he explained his po-
Sition and briefly narrated a history
of the measure. Having pledged him
self TO faithfully and impartialIy en-
force the laws of the State he has
kept his promise to the best of his
ability. Without claiming the law to
be perfect he believes that il is better
far than the open notification that has
been going on through officials delib-
cra!ely ignoring their oath of office
and administering the law as they
pleased, regardless of the laws of the
State. However people may differ in
their opinions they cannot but say
that Gov. Cobb has taken manly
stand and admire him for his courage
ana fidelity to law and the right
1t is impossible for human beings to
make laws that are perfect or that
will satisfy all. While the Sturgis
is most satisfactory to others. One
thing is certain; it has done much to
decrease liquor selling in our cities
and has led some Officials who We're
openly defiant before to do their duty
as the law provides. 1t is natural that
the friends Of the liquor traffic should
virulently oppose ana do their best
to emhitter the people against it.
This was TO be expected, but we be-
ieve the masses of the people who
desire law and order and wish for the
prosperity of our State are in favor of
tn, law and will give Gov. Cobb their
sympathy and support In the stand he
has taken. One thing is certain: The
liquor traffic can thrive and prosper
only at the expense of all other legit-
innate lines of trade.

A Governor Worth Having.


In making this law effective Cover
nor Cobb has been unwilling to do less
than he promised and has insisted upon
keeping his oath. Unmoved by the
panic among the politicians, undis-
mayed by the revolt in the cities, he
now voluntarily declares that he will
base his campaign on the issue of en-
forced prohibition.
What will the people of Maine do
about it? They will recognize that
an honest, courageous governor is
worth having. They will rally to his
support and will back him up in his
campaign against nullifscatton- The
moral principle involved in the duty of
enforcement of law is of greater i'm
portance than the questions of pro-
hibtion or local option.
