FRIDAY AFTERNOON. JULY 10, 1903.
ROOSEVELT AND ROOSEVELTISM.

Il LAS rot been many years since
M. Roosevelt entered the arenea of
American politics. He was, prior to
1898, a comparatively unknown man
in this country. The Spanish-American
war brought him into prominence
and made him Governor of New York.
He had occupied some official position
before that time, but did not attract
special attention.
The Republican party soon found,
after he entered the field, that they
had on their hands man who was
rather difficult to manage, and so
when the convention of that party met
in 1900 to nominate candidates for
President and Vice President, and hav-
ing nominated the late Mr.. Mckinley
for President, Mr.. Plat the great New
York boss and others, planned to
shelve Roosevelt by putting him on
the ticket as candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, elect him to that Office and SO
dispose of him. | +.
But subsequent events proved that
they did not so dispose of him. He
came into the Presidency upon the
tragic death of the late lamented Nc
Kinley, and from that time there has
scarcely been day or an hour in
which he has not been doing some
thing that attracted public attention.
Certainly for the past seven or eight
years he has been the most spectacu
lar figure in this or any other country.
That he is a man of decided ability,
intellectual and scholarly, no one
will deny. ..-r
But as a man to stir things up and
then leave them stirred, to shout him
self hoarse crying 'stop thief and
then let the thief go, no one has ever
equalled him. One would have thought
a few years ago that he was just going
to devour the trusts, sweep them from
the face of the earth, but we find these
same trusts still doing businesses at
the old stand" and all is quiet at the
department of Justice and at the
White House
~. Roosevelt has shown himself
to b, Gn infinite disturber, bringing
Our to1ntfy, IS the business people
b~iieTe, to the very verge of the worst
paAic it l. ever known, but is en-
tirvly licking in the ability to suggest |
a remedy for that which he disturbs. |
In other words. he has the bump of |
destructiveness developed to the last
degree, but has no ability for con-
StructiVe work.
He has however, gone much further
that that. No President who has pre-
ceded him has been so ready to break |
down all constitutional barriers and
centre power in the executive as he. |
Indeed. no President before him, eth
.er Republican or Democrat, would
have thought of the usurpations of
power that he has attempted.
Mr.. Roosefelt's policies, of which
he seems so jealous, if carried to their
Logical end, would entirely change
our form of government. And so we
are glad his reign is coming to an
erd, and think the American people |
may breathe freer, unless these same
Rooseveltian policies are to be per-
petuated by Mr.. Taft, if he is elected |
President OF this we shall have
cr,eth.ng to say later.

Navy Will Send Ship to Rescue.

Prompt steps have been taken by the
Navy Department to send relief to the
stranded passengers of the merchant
ship Aeon, now at Christmas Island
The supply ship solace is due at Sa-
Admiral Swinbournes fleet. She will be
sent at once to Christmas Island. about
100 miles distant, for the purpose Of
giving relief to the distressed party
and bringing them home. She is in
command of Commander William A.
Gill.
. Additional details regarding the dis
aster reached the Navy Department to-
day from Chaplain Bower r. Patrick. in
dispatch dated at Tanning Island,
about 100 miles distant. and at which
place the all-English cable touches.
Chaplain Patrick says the Aeon struck
on rock July IS, on the southeastern
point of Christmas Island. and is a total
wreck. He asks that assistance be sent
at once, and CONFIRMS the reports which
have already reached the United States
that the crew and passengers are safe.
Included in these. he mentions the
names of Mrs. William K. Riddle, the
wife of Lieut.. Riddle of Atlanta, Ga;
his own family and fifty others.
