IL HIS speech at the laying of the
corner stone of the Office building of
the House of Representatives al
Washington, President Roosevelt took
a shot at magazine and newspaper
writers now engaged in exposing and
criticising men in public life, by
citing by way of illustration John
Bunyan's man with the muck rake.
The President seemed to have placed
emphasis on he fact that Bunyan's
man always looked down, and could
not be induced to look up; and. he
also stated that critics of public men
were very much like him. Even if
President Roosevelt, the man who
PIRATES so much about "a square deal, ="
did make the statement, nothing
could be more unjust and misleading.
Magazine and newspaper writer's of
today are not like the man with the
muck rake. and the Presidents
statement is merely an incentive to
further criticism of public men-he
being one of the victims. The facts
are, the class of critics to which the
President refers, are forced by public
men TO look down instead of up. II
we take into consideration the great
number Of exposures that have been
made in the management of our
government, and note the partial
immunity shown come officials who
should be wearing convict clothes
during President Roosevelt's admin
istration, and also take his personal
action into account in the case of
Paul Morton, we are necessarily
forced to admit there is more down
than up to write about. Magazine
and newspaper writer's in this coun-
try Of free speech and free press, do
not come up to the high standard of
their profession if they do not criti-
else public men. They have a more
perfect right to criticise public men
than they have to criticise the hum
biest citizen or plainest laborer1
Public men are public servants OF
public trusts, and when they will
fully and maliciously fail to do their I
sworn duty, there magazine and |
newspaper writers would indeed, be
practicing on a low plane If they |
should remain silent. Therefore, let |
the public press continue to voice its
ideals of what public men ought and |
should be, and if the public servant |
is true to his trust he will enjoy the
Of the people and be given
credit where credit is due. And the |
President of the United States will |
have no just cause to complain
against the criticisms of public men
if public men will perform their
duties.

The horrible disaster at San Fran
cisco last Wednesday Las filled the
whole world with sorrow. The loss
of life is estimated anywhere from 200
to 1000 and as many more have been
injured. Thousands of people have
been rendered homeless aud for a
while, famine and pestilenca stare d
the stricken ones in the face. Dam
age in the surrounding districts has
been great. The loss of property
will exceed 500. 100000. The fire
which followed the earthquake is un-
der control and from all over this
country and others, the most liberal
responses are being made to the cries
of the afil cted. Things are taking on
a more hopeful aspect and it is
thought that order will soon rise out
of the awful chaos and that greater
San Francisco, will rise, Phoenix like,
from the ashes of the stricken city by
the Bay.
