ANANIAS.

The frequency with which Theo-
dore Roosevelt involves himself in
controversies where his word and
that of another is at stake must
tempt the casual observer to the
conclusion that Roosevelt is some
what OF a liar. If these incidents
to which the country has been
treated for the last two years hap
pened only once in a while, the
chances are that people would be
prone TO think the President right,
but when these incidents become so
frequent, there must be smoke
somewhere. No matter how much
faith you have in Roosevelt, It will
hardly be possible for you to be-
Ileye that all men opposed to
Roosevelt in private life, in all pro
f%essions, are all liars and Roose-
Welt the only truthful man among
them.
First there was the Whitney
episode. Roosevelt was rather free
with his use Of English there. Then
there was the Morris incident, the
controversy with Bellamy Storer,
and lastly his verbal war with
Hartman. Ii will be remembered
that Roosevelt denied in the cam.
palgn of 1904 that corporations
we're contributing to the Republi.
can campaign fund and that state.
ment was given the lie during the
insurance Investigations. Your Pres.
ident is no. perfect, not by a darn
S ght, and is SO very impetuous that
if able to do SO he might tell him
self one thing one moment, and call
himself a jar the next. Mr.. Roose
Welt should remember that there are
a few, jus, a few Of course, outside
the White House, Who have just as
h.gh,ifn not q little b CHER, regard for
truth and yeracily than he has

AIDS AT WHITE HOUSE
ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT

r. T his own request, it is said, Lieut.
l Philip H. Sheridan has been re-
lieved as military aid at the white
house and returned to active service
in his regiment, as he is DESTROYS of
working out his future in the army
as a soldier in the field rather than
enjoying the life of comparative idle
ness at Washington.
Lieut. Sheridan was one of the
most popular aids at the white house
during the last two seasons, and it
was understood among his many
friends that he would be enabled to
retain the choice social position
throughout the coming season. Re-
Gently, however, it developed that
pressure was being brought by friends
of other young officers to land the
White House detail for them, and it
is thought possible that the president
may have decided upon a change in
order to give others an opportunity
to shine at the executive mansion. In
this connection it is now rumored that
. number of other officers will be re
lieved of the White House detail and
