found necessary to cut down on the above
mentioned date two pitchers will be sent
to nearby clubs with good strong string
attached so that they can be yanKed pacK

Onslaught of the uplIfters.

There has been an inroad of these pro-
1essional graft developers in Washington
during the last few months. They all
made a bee line for the White House be-
cause they knew the President was honest
ana they believed every one else in Wash
lngton was of the contrary description
Ihey swarmed about the Presidents office

honesty they were about to uncover, an
pealed to him for help then Disguised
MIN by their extraordinary vanity and
their supernatural ignorance of the details
of public affairs.
Magaznists came and went, they pulled
down no pillars or temple, they started
not single man toward the penitentiary
they saved not a dollar of the public
funds. they failed to make a single def
mite charge which could be investigated
by any reasonable person. 1t was a cam

There was a revampihg of old stories

caldron of froth, few readable stories
which left a bad taste in the mouth-and

President Roosevelt Disqusted.

1t is a curious thing that the one man
I'm Washington who more than any one
else was Disguised by this wholesale Will
fication of public men, without a word or
syllable of actual proof, was President
Roosevelt, the patron saint of the graft
hunters themselves, and the man whose
honesty has become synonym of the
best American citizenship throughout the
world
Not one of the magazinists attacked
the president, none Of his pet policies
was roughly handled, none of his personal
friends was unkindly assaulted. but the
President has taken it upon himself to
rebuke the vilifers. and he intends to
do it, as he does everything. publicly,
frankly, and completely. Those who have
seen Theodore Roosevelt hit out from
the shoulder with pair of light gloves.
or who have heard the crack of his sin
gle stick beating down an opponents
guard, know that when he Is in earnest
he does his best. He is sick and tired Of
the magazinists and their filth campaign,
and as President of the United States,
as well as an individual he deems it his
duty to expose the unfairness and the
treasonableness of these wholesale insin-
uations against the integrity of the Amer
lean government.

In His Speech At Norfolk He Will
Denounce the Unbridled License
They Are Taking With
Public Men.

Chicago, April Especial raymond
sends the following from Washington to
the Tribune:
AS a reformer President Roosevelt has
been so completely outclassed by the
magazine reformers and professional graft
developers that he has been forced u
turn upon these gentlemen, and In nota-
BILE coming speech he will denounce their
unbridled license and unfair denuncia-
ton of public men as something which
falls little short of downright treason to
the republic.
The President is as honest a man as
ever entered public life. He has pursued
his course under the influence of the
highest ideals, and the unbounded popular
ity he enjoys throughout the country is
born of the universal belief that he repre-
sents the best there is in American citi-
zenship.
RooseveIt's High Ideals.
But Theodore Roosevelt has never
thrown mud at men, He has never de
nounced his associates or those higher un

err up as thieves or blaeklegs. He has
been ready to take most men at their own
estimate, and seldom has peen willing TO
talk of graft, or of cowardlce. or of dem
agogy, or of improper motives in public
life.
On the contrary, the Presidents ideals
nave led him to believe that the average
American citizen is good man, and can
be trusted when in public life just as
much as when he stands behind the coun

article for a not too scrupulous maya

Action Versus Mud.

Naturally enough the President will
contrast his own executive action with
the remarkable performances of the re-
cent tribe of magazine authors who have
made such sweeping charges of graft but
have not developed a single bit of evidence
on which the authorities could proceed.
In his Decoration day speech therefore the
President will lay stress on the fact that
these vague charges, this indscrimnate
throwing of mud. does not tend to lessen
public dishonesty nor to punish It. On
the contrary, he will insist that instead
of rendering service to the republic the
writers of this class have done great harm
to the country, so great that they are
almost liable to prosecution for treason,
and ought to be compelled either to stop

one. but the patient Will be obliged to re-
