FRIDAY. AUGUST 81, 1906

Why does President Roosevelt order
the naval reyeiw held off Oyster Bay for
his private and personal delectation,
where practically nobody else can see it?
Why not hold til reveiw off Coney Island
or Rockaway, in the North River or off
the Jersey coast, where million or wo
of the American people could have a
chance to see the great ships that are
our pride and CUP defense?
The reyeiw is to be held on Labor Day
when everybody will be at leisure.
Moreover, there will be in this city thou
sands of persons from the inerior visiting
New York to join in the welcome to Mr..
Bryan. Many f them have never see a
warship. The sight would gladden. their
hearts, and their bosoms would swell
with pride and pratrisOm as they gazed
upon the feet.
Mr.. Roosevelt is friend of the people.
He ought to be willing to give them a
chance to look upon the ships their MON
ey paid for. If the review were held
near the great city he shores would be
black with the immense multitudes atrac-
ted by the spectacle There would be
glad to see he lighting craft assembled
on that day An order from Oyster Bay
to the Navy Deparmen would be suff-
cent-New York Times.
