LII Cno interest OF CnaC square
deal' which President Roosevelt has
so volubly advocated with tongue and
pen, but which he has done so little
to promote by his acts, I wish to say
a good word for the president.
When young man Of % he wrote
a book in which, in substance, he de
scribed Andrew Jackson as about the
most unworthy man who had ever oc"
cupied the presidential Office. Ac-
cording to Historian Roosevelt the
occupancy Of the white house by such
man as the 'Fhero of New Or
can government. That I do not state
this too strongly, I could prove by
such copious extracts from his "Life
Of Thomas Fl. Benton" that it would
require more Of your space to insert
than I could ask you to grant me-
But I gladly acknowledge that in his
speech at Nashville on Jackson, Mr..
Roosevelt made the amende honor
able. He told the truth about our
great Tennesseean as he had learned
it since he wrote that book, twenty
two years ago, when he was in the
roasting ear age Of his life, and for
so doing he has elevated himself in
the estimation of Tennesseeans. His
last words on Andrew Jackson have
been worthy Of the great Office he
holds.
His Attack on Davis.
Many years ago when Mr.. Roose-
welt was still a young man, he wrote
for northern magazine an article ON
Jefferson Davis, in which he charged
that "Mr. Davis in 1851 had advo-
Gated the reputation of Mississippi's
state debt, and not only was he
repudiator Of public debts, but that
he had repudiated his private debts. "
In other words, that Jefferson Davis
was dishonest in his private business
life. When this article appeared the
venerable widow of the Confederate
president wrote Mr.. Roosevelt a po-
lite letter, telling him that he had,
unwittingly, she supposed, done her
deceased husband injustice, that he
had never approved of the repudia-
tion by Mississippi of its debt, and
that never before had any one charged
that her husband had repudiated or
attempted to repudiate, or failed to
pay his private debts, and she con-
cluded her letter by respectfully re-
questing him to give her his authority
for the charges he had made.
Instead Of courteously replying,
giving her the name Of his author,
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote her: "Mr. Theo-
dore Roosevelt declines to have any
correspondence with Mrs. Jefferson
Davis. :"
I will here add that within a few
years after the close of the civil war,
when all manner of lies were pub
lished about Mr.. Davis, such for ex-
ample that "when captured he was
dressed in female attire" it was pub
