There Is vast d1fTerence between
saying and doing. There is the same
difference between theory and prac-
tice.
Many man is long on theory-he
tells what ought to be done-but when
1t comes to doing it he stands back for
somebody else to take the initiative.
There are multitudes of that kind of
people.
Everyone is familiar with the person
who advocates accomplishing certain
object, but when some energetic per-
son goes ahead and accomplishes it,
this individual stands back and criti-
cises the way it is done.
The world has recently had a strik-
ing illustration of this. Some of the
promoters of international peace are
in favor of the disarmament of the
powers. President Roosevelt is not,
and he did not hesitate to say SO to
the recent peace conference. Conse-
quently he brought down on his head
all sorts of criticism. The peace ex-
tremists intimated that the president
is too militant-tEat he is personally,
entirely too much of a believer in war
and lighting
Yet, the greatest practical personal
act Of modern times in pro-
noting peace was that of Theo-
dore Roosevelt in bringing about
the end of the Russo-Japanese war.
He did not spend his time IN advocat-
ing impractical peace theories, but
when there came an opportunity to do
something practical in the cause of
peace, he was the man who did it. All
the peace theorists combined have not
done as much
Again a certain class of theorists
make a great plea in behalf of the
"down-trodden classes" They demand
the adjustment of capitalism and
some of them foment class hatred in
agitating their theories. They are es-
pectally bitter-Mr. Debs in particular
because President Roosevelt de-
nounces the agitator who fosters preju-
dice between capital and labor and
who incites hatred between classes.
Yet Theodore Roosevelt in COM
polling capital and combines to obey
the law and in advocating a fair and
equal chance for every man is doing
far more for the downtrodden and the
working classes than are a dozen agi-
tators who would do away with capt.
tai.
Is The theorist is all right, but he
SAOuAuu SLdHQ DUCK ana crlI1c1Se the
practical man who goes ahead and ac-
composites results. It is easy to theor-
ize and still easier to criticize, but the
hard thing is to bring things to pass.
The man who accomplishes results does
many times as much for the advance
ment of the world as the theorist who
simply tells how the results ought to
be accomplished but who does nothing
else

FROM OTHER PENS

ADJUSTING TRADE RELATIONS.
We may look for a general attorney to
readjust trade relations between this
country and other countries by means
of treaties. Our extreme protectionists
may be expected at first to resist this
movement. But when they come to
face the alternative of making conces-
sions in one way or another or becoming
involved in tariff wars with most other
countries they may find themselves
constrained to choose the former.-Cht-
cago Chronicle.

SOUTH NOT CoMMUNIsTIC.

The south is Democratic. but not

relied upon to support the Democratic
party so long as the party represents
Democratic principles. But there are

southern Democrats who will not COM
init themselves to communism and rad

party name they are promulgated

ROOT ON DEMOCRACY

Secretary of State ElIhu Root,
in an address before Yale college
students, declared there is dan
ger that the American republic
may become too democratic. He
urged it as an unfavorable indi-
cation that limitations upon indi-
vidual opportunity are still more
widely favored, and are still more
widely enforced, urging that
latter many centuries of strug
gle for the right Of equality there
is some reason tothink that man
kind is now entering upon a
struggle for the right Of Unequal
ity."
Secretary Root is a true aristo-
crat, and therefore can conceive
of no benefit that would accrue
from the alteration Of our strait
fed social life. His logic is that
certain evils have always existed
and viii always continue to exist.
The dementia of wealth that
caused a Pittsburg millionaire to
desert the wife of his youth and
buy a comic opera star is an in
durable malady. "A man Of bril-
liant intellect may put through a
scheme by which he waters the
stock of railway and steals
$50, 900, 900 and wrecks that rail
road. The people who are robbed
must look for no remedy, because
this man is intellectually their
superior. The inequality that
makes such thievery possible
must be continued. The sugges-
ton of a government and laws
that would change this condition
is rank socialism and tc be feared
as the vipers sting, according to-
Mr.. Roots argument.
He urges a continuance of pa
triotic idealism. Ubiquitous tar
ifs and exhorbitant freight rates
feature in the ideal conditions
which the secretary would con-
tinue. as do the Standard Oil
monopoly and other kindred evils
evils as regarded in their rela
ton to the lower and medal
strata of the American social
fabric, but the source Of spoils to
that stratum for which the secre-
tarv is acting as special attor-
ney. -Oklahoman,
