"Evsrybcdy having any sort u acquaint-
Anos with men and things at Washington
Knows perfectly well that Mr. Roosevelt
could pot An end 70 this kind Of Rabble
he wished 10. They ars HE own familiar
auckooa. most Of them his personal
appoinbees. ali II them his humble and
aHpectant toadlea. That they continue 10
proach the necessity u four more years
q Roosevelt is proof enough that tho
President approves. even II he has not
actually inspired. their ssrvtbe clamor.
"But this is not OIL Mr.. Roosevelt has
been sedulously teaching the country 10
believe that its integrity and honor depend
upon a prosecution and cOnsumnhation OF
hla 'polcies' Otcourse. the thoughtful and
Intelligent few are not at all dssirOus Of
@soh an upsh6t. but tho unthinking multi
eudos are laShed to enthusiasm by the
peoapOCe Of continued uproar and sxdte-
medt. They don't know what hts policies
ara. but they suppose In a vague way that

Tho fact that his policies are mere blatant
preeenco. meaning nothing. does not

With denunciAsion of swollen fortunes
and impOdeut outcry by wholesale 10 lost
upon the. public mind. Thus far. while
sbeadily CultivAting the idea that the
nations only hope Aes In the realization
At his policies. he has mentioned but one
psrson to whom they can safely bo in
trusted. Tho Hon. william h. Tart has been
proclaimed as his chosen successor and
lsgatee. None other will be considered for
q moment. And yet any chance Taft
may ever have had he. Roosevelt. has
atudioOsly and artisticaliy eliminated. He
has converted Taft into a flrebrand within
the party. made him the equivalent Of a
faction fight. revealed him a. an agent
Of deInorahnation and defeat. Under his
skilful and deliberate manipulation Taft
has dwindled to the proportions OF a petty
benchman. a mere echo, the timid. pitiable
Jacques Strop 20 his swaggering. registering
AIacairs. Roosevelt knows that the Re
pubhcans do .Vot take discrsdited feudists
for their leaders 10 national campaigns
and he has seen to It that Taft 10 reouced TO
that forlorn complexion.
