GIVE HIM TIME.

President Roosevelt is we'll beloved
by Republicans generally. They find
in him the most enhancing qualities;
and even when his action or speech is
not in accord with their usual views
they still discover in his variableness
delightfully."- human quality that en-
dears him more than ever within their
affections. But one old timer is having
MS faith sadly shaken-a man who has
been a Republican since the days of
Lincoln and who has fought the good
fight for the National life-and he
writes to The Tribune as follows:
/ am painfully disappointed IN the at
tiIude OF Roosevelt. a President who
can load his message down with sugees-
thing-look after the Jeps In San Fran
cisco-aRd Ignore the Americans In Utah
who stand for country and home. is In
eNplicable.
Our friend must not expect too much.
President Roosevelt has been busy with
many things and has not yet had time
to study the misrule of the hierarchs in
the intermouutain country. Besides,
selfish politicians may have had some
interest AT stake in misinforming MIN.
Let us trust that when all the other
problems which have been agitatiug the
country shall have been settled along
Rooseveltian lines, the President of the
United States can coVsider the case
of church and state in Idaho, Wyoming
and Utah
