The Preuident,s MeaaaRe.

Wheeling Register.
The special message of President
Roosevelt is remarkable for two
things-the attack upon inteEeatS
whioh were responsible for HE
election. and the appropriation of
ideas which were first advocated
by Mr. Bryan.
It was the very rasoals sitting In
nigh places, the very corrupt coF-
oorations and frenzied finanoieFs
that the President now denounoes
as a menace to the oountr'S pros
perity, that were his moat ardent
supporters and the most liberal
contributors to his campaign fund
when he was a candidate. Mr..
Roosevelt's denunoiatory sentenoeS
would have truer ring if he had
refused the aid of corrupt and sel-
fish corporations. which undonbt.
edly contributed with the belief if
not with the understanding, that
their interests would be protected
from attack by the man whom they
we're helping to elect. His ooun-
trymen would place a higher esti-
mate upon Mr.. Roosevelt if he
were less politician and more a
patriot.
It was Mr. Bryan who ir0t pub.
lioIy advocated most of the EefoEmS
which Mr.. Roosevelt now seekB to
bring about. The President 6houd
not be condemned for that, how
ever. but the iniustioe to Mr. Bryan
lies in the fact that he Was de-
nounoed as an anarchist by many
of the very persons who are now
lauding Mr.. Roosevelt for his ad.
vooating his identioal We've. To
attack Mr.. Bryan as too radical
and to defend Mr.. Roosevelt ie the
extreme of inconsistency.

Thou art gone, lovely mother, and
thy children lament thee;
They mourn thy departure, thy loss

Though they yield thee, submissive,

Yet they grieve that on earth they
shall see thee no more.
Thou hast Escaped to the regions of
peace and delight.
Which pain and affliotion can never
assail;
Where visions of glory have burst on
thy sight,
And rapturous pleasures forever pre-

Our faith now beholds thee, amid yon

OF gloriied mothers, who sing the
new song;

In harmonious concert with all the

MS step elastic, and his voice strong
what's the secret? 1t has been an in
hexible habit with him from early
youth to retire at eight o'clock In the
