The American people are not over
looking the fact that most of the criti-
cism now being directed against Presi-
dent Roosevelt is due to the fact that
he has honestly and fearlcssly enforced
the laws, and that moreover he has
enforced impartially. Under this adj
ministration the rich man gets no Sne-
cial favors or exemptions, but is forced
to stand on the same plane with all of
the rest of his fellow citizens. If this
kind Of an administration in"urs the
condemnation of men who have grown
rich and powerful by breaking the laws

fore a consolation to the country to be
