Two criticisms Of Theodore Roosevelt
are predominant in current political dis
Cussion.
That the country is getting too much Roosevelt
That the so-caled Roosevelt policies are accom-
plishing nothing to the advantage Of the people
The first is the ''reaetionary" or con
servative view; the second usually that
of believers in much more radical rene
dies for corporate and other evils than
those the President has proposed. Yet
both views are sometimes held without
Inconsistency. For example, the New
York Sun, which has certainly had too
much Roosevelt" propounds what it re-
CARDS as an important conundrum" in
this way:
In what way and to what extent has the indi-
viduai citizen the taxpayer the honest law-abiding
representative Of brains OF industry or social or1sr
profited by Nh Rooseyelts tremendous. mremitting
industryi"
That is precisely the question which, in
other forms. The Hearst newspapers are
asking. What are the Common people"
getting out Of government? Wherein does
individual profit lie in the cOnsummation
of RooseveItian policies? Whose wages
are higher? Whose living expenses lower?
Who can buy trust-made goods cheaper?
Who rides for a 2-cent fare? Whose
freight bills are less-because Roosevelt
IS President? Any satisfactory answer
to these questions is admittedly difficult.
if we look at national policy as having no
other purpose than fattening the indi-
vidual pocketbook But is not that too
narrow a view? Is not its perspective
false? We might as wen ask to what
extent has the individual profted BY the
bin Of rights, or the Constitution and the
laws, or, indeed, by the establishment of
government itself. since the cost of living
is higher and the struggle for existence
as deadly and as hard as ever?
The true answer to the Suns conun-
drum is that the individual citizen is ben
efited by the Roosevelt reforms in the
same way that he is benefited by the in
tangible operation Of the governmental
institutions under which he lives. The
average citizen knows little of the inyfsi-
bic protection Of the laws, the watchful
yet unseen guardian of his liberties. Yet
the law is none the less effective because
its influence cannot be measured in the
sum OF individual wages or by a per-
sonal yardstick
We must judge national policy bv some
standard Of more universal application.

Immigration to the South.

Undoubtedly the work of the Bureau OF
immigration has done a great deal in the
last few months toward turning the tide
OF immigration to the South, where the
opportunities for agricultural prosperity
through thrift and industry are very
large. But another great aid has been
the work Of Baron Won Pills. a director
of the Transatlantic Steamship Com
pany, who has been making a tour of the
South and has seen what field there is
for the disposition of emigrants from Ger
many. So impressed has the baron been
that he has determined TO establish a
direct line Of steamers between Charles
ton, S, C.. and Triest, the principal port
Of the Austro-Hungarian empire
TTiest is the great market for the trade
of the empire by the Adriatic. 1t is the
from the Black Sea, Turkey, and Egypt.
It's exports are various, including wine,
oil, fax, silks, glass, liqueurs, marble
&c. and its imports are principally raw
and spun cotton. dried fruits. camels'
hair, and so on. Formerly one of the
principal cities of the Romans, it passed
into the hands of Austria in 1885, II is
the seat Of some Of the best schools in
Europe. and it is the headquarters Of the

parts amount 70 S1S2, ,OOO,O 900 a year; its inn

The main fact in all this long period of

body Of corporations have not as yet been
charged with violating laws or disregard
ing the legal conditions on which modern
business is being conducted This over
shadowing fact should have more weight
than it is now receiving in the minds OF
the investing world. II should strengthen

are inclined 10 be fearful against any

security Of business as a whole. In manu-

ters OF the capital employed, and if only
