WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE ON
ROOSEVELT.

Roosevelt is no Drawer than many
another man, who has fallen In the
struggle against Mammon. But he has
moral vision. A broader edu-
cation than any man has brought 10
the White House since Jefferson's day,
a life unstained by vice of any kind,
a clean mind, and boyish heart, SIM
pie, con6ding, just, have combined TO
keep Theodore Rocsevelts faith In
God and his belief in the common hon.
estv of the common man unseared."
Thus writes William Allen White in
his Roosevelt: A Force for Right
eousness," in the February McClure's.
Successful contemporary portraiture
is so rare an achievement that an ar
ticle like this of Mr.. Whites merits
unusual attention. Throughout he
displays the sureness OF touch ana
soundness of intuition that have dis
tinguished his earlier work; some OF
his passages indeed, seem inspired, so
brilliantly do they hit it off. What,
for instance, could be better than
this.
"a middle-aged, middle-sized figure,
struggling against pudginess, simple,
boyish, direct; impulsive for the right
and intolerant of wrong; human 10
the core, with his blind side for ms
friends and his sleepless eyes for MS
enemies-a group of gentlemen FOR
whom he never has to blush =
a happy mixture of the cheerful IDIOT
the seer of visions, and the captain
and crew of the "Nancy Brigg
man who does the undisputed thing IN
such a buoyant way!" 80.
Mr.. Whites analysis Of Roosevelt
career. and "the tremendous effect OF
his precepts and his consistent ex.
ample" is handled in this writer's
most brilliant and able manner.
