Misrepresentation of the public ut
terances of President Roosevelt has
been carried to such lengths that he
has finally deemed 1t necessary to call
the attention of his friends to a speci-
tic instance that of E. M. Shepard, one
time Tammany candidate for mayor of
New York, Mr.. Shepard in recent
public statement declared that Mr..
Roosevelt had said he would send from
one to fifty capitalists to Jail, and Mr..
Roosevelt has pointed out that What he
actually said was that "the fact that
man had wealth and business stand
ing" would not save him from punish
ment If he were caught violating the
law. Apropos of this correction, a
prominent New York paper says, edi-
toriallY. "Why should parsonage so

demonstrate the necessity of insisting
upon precisely such ''trite" and ''com-

deemed it wise to utter. Mr.. Shepard
and other public speakers in the New
York campaign may realize that were

to punish every violator of the law.
