the same time photographers were al
lowed to picture the scene of the
tragedy, so that it might be disseminat-

If has the idea that this will make q

1t now appears clear that woman

Roosevelt Quoted Muck Raker.
When the June number of Every

dent that Lincoln Steffens was the
person whom President Roosevelt had
quoted in recent message to congress
us having spoken of the type of mix
lionaire whose "face has grown hard
and cruel while his body has grown
soft, whose son is fool and his
daughter a-foreign princess" This, pre-
else language is contained in an article
giving interviews with Roosevelt, Taft
and La Toilette on What the Matter Is
In America and What to Do About 1t. :"
The editors admit that the president
had examined advance proofs Of this
remarkable paper from the pen Of one
Of the guild he had once characterized
as muck rakers.
Steffens goes back oyer the career of
the president to show how he had al
ways been striking ut this and that
thing which seemed to him an evil,
but how he had been ever blind to the
root Of MI these evils-namely, the
business system under which we live
and which has taken the place Of rep.
resentative government. He gives
Roosevelt credit with having located
the enemy and with having reused the
conscience and the hopes and fears OF
the nation. steffens speaks in the
highest praise of Taft personally and
says he will try to. carry out the
Roosevelt policies, but that he will Try
to do 1t quietly" which is quite diff
ferent. Taft believes In the law and
public opinion as capable Of regulating
the most powerful business. Taft be
lieves in the courts and their ability tt
adjust the coming clash Of capital and
labor, but Steffens says that the secre
tary does not see how the various evils
are correlated by the power Of wealth
