CROOKED
COMBINATION

Is Elihu Root, Secretary of
State, denouncing Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United
Statesp
This question is inspired by a
remarkable paragraph in an article
entitle "The President and Big
Business" printed in the Saturday
Evening Post and written by Sena-
tor A. j. Beveradge, of Indiana {:
"The chorus of denunciation of
the President is swelled by wrong
doers whom he has not reached
and cannot reach as President, and
to whom nothing but his attitude
is hurtful. This is true of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company, a
State institutional of the Traction
Companies of New York City. An
other example: In the State Trust
Company Of New York loan of
- 900 900 60 per cent, in excess of
the legal amount was made tC an
Office boy, and this was only one
of many improper loans. For pre-
cisely this offense the President of
the indianapolis National Bank
was sent to the penitentiary after
the failure of that institution in
1898. The State Trust Company
was State institution exclusively
yet the heads of 1t all are denounc-
ing Roosevelt. -
Does Senator Beveradge know
the history of the State Trust
Company loan? Does he know
that the mau who committed the
otfense in question was Thomas F.
Ryanp Does he know that the Of
flee boy to whom this ~, 900, 900
dummy loan was made was Danny
Shea, and that Shea was Ryan's
office boy2 Does he know that the
great lawyer who devised this
scheme was Elihu Root, aud that
Mr.. Root was Ryan's lawyer?
Does he know that the Governor
of New York who failed to bring
the offenders to justice, although
he had full knowledge of the
transaction, was Theodore Roose-
welt?
Does he know that Theodore
Roosevelt, thoroughly informed as
to Elihu Roots part in this affair,
afterwards made Mr.. Root Secre-
tary of State in his Cabinet? Does
he know that Theodore Roosevelt
has continued to keep Elihu Root
in the Cabinet as confidential
adviser? Does he know that Theo-
dore Roosevelt gave his blessing to
Paul Morton, another member of
his Cabinet, when that eminent
gentleman entered the employ of
Thomas F. Ryan? Does he know
thot tbn Draci5apt;ol hanad;ot;or
was likewise bestowed upon Theo-
dore p. Shonts when that gentle
man resigned from the Panama
Canal Commission to enter the en-
pIoy of Thomas F. Ryan.
We assume that the Senator
from Indiana knows none of these
things, yet he would have us be-
lieve that the heads of the defunct
State Trust Company "are all de-
Roosevelt" :" If so they
are lost souls. For Theodore
could not only force
Elihu Root out of his Cabinet, but
could drive him forever from pub
lie life. And as for Thomas F. |
Ryan, he might count himself
fortunate indeed if the statute of
stood between him and

Williamson foundry. Bad feeling
between the men and company
had existed for some time. Re-
Gently the men suffered 20 per cent

the molders to cut their own sand

This caused the walk-out. A w.

CANTON, o., Ma rch S.-The

for the Democratic Governorsh in
nomination-John G. Welty and
Altee Pomerene-are first cousins.
Politicians are asking: "What
are the two women thinking an d
will they assist in influencing one
of the men to Withdraw and clear
the field for the other?"
Pomerene and Welty alwa VS.
have pulled as one in Democratic
politics. When Welty made two
races for the Democratic govern
ship, Pomerene pulled off his coat
and helped with all his might.
Their business and social interests
have been closely identified. Each
will swear that the other is man
to be admired. Their law offices
are so close together that they can
see each other from their office
windows. Their homes are within
stones throw of each other.

THE. ENTERPRISE
sE?UBEECAN NATIONAL TICKET

In a speech of characteristic
brevity, James Schoolcraft
Sherman, formerly accepted
the nomination for vice presi-
dent from the republican party
last week. The speech of &C.
ceptance placed the issues of
the campaign squarely before
the people, it does not wander
through foreign platitudes in
search of some logic argument.
In this respect this speech vast
ly differs from the one delivered
by Bryan. Mr.. Sherman comes
out first, last, and always. for
the Roosevelt policy. which he
declares to be the only logical
issue before the American peo-
pie today. "Shall the people
rule:" is no issue. Surely the
people shall rule and they have
ruled. The vital question is as
to whether there shall be a con-
tinudnce of the policy of law en-
forcement without regard to the
statutes of the offender; wheth
or or not the United States gov
eminent shall stand for a square
deal and for fair play. These
are the essentials of the Roose-
welt policy and they are the
points that are at issue. and
these are the points that Mr..
Sherman heartily endorses and
promises his support in bringing
them to a successful issue.
