Toilette of Wisconsin had shown it to be popular program. The Standard oil Company and other trusts had been exposed before he framed the governmental machinery for exposing them. The conviction that big busi- ness was in league with corrupt poll hcs was in a million minds before Roosevelt announced 1t. In the words, a square deal" he was phrasing what we wanted.
 Thus Roosevelt understands us the crowd of us-and we understand him-and like him, like him tremend- ously. We call him Teddy" we send him pet lions and bears, we are enter tained by his hunting and riding, and amused rather than offended when he adds new portrait to his gallery of prevaricators. We love the uncertain ty (the shock to sensitive soulsD of never being quite sure of what he is going to do next! We even report to him with pride the champion fam flies of children in our various neigh borhoods. When he makes mistakes we forgive and excuse him much as we would forgive and excuse our own are So completely un- derstandable.
 There are two kinds of greatness, that of height, the greatness that in some particular rises to the sky and in depth is beyond ordinary human fathoming; and the greatness of breadth. Roosevelt's is the greatness of breadth.

suffered, and still suffers, can be cured by orderly processes. And Roosevelt's services in this regard have been notable.
 How, then, if he is not thinker, nor blessed with the power of vision, has he been able to do all that he has done?
 He Is Like Us.
 In the simplest possible way by being exactly like us, the people of the United States; by acting, not on his reason, but on his instincts, which are the instincts of the country; by trusting the multitude. No President we have ever had has been so close to the real, though inarticulate, feel ing of our people, north, south, east and west, as Roosevelt, Little locali- ties like New York and Boston hate him, but New York City is only a financial province of the country Gas Boston is a sort of atrophied intel lectual province) and not American in the largest sense.

The oan Bernardino Sun is still puzzled over the liquor sit uation down this way and does not see why orders to refuse shipments of liquor into Imper- ial county have been issued if Fl Centro has no blind pigs. There are "blind pigs" in other towns of the county, but El Centro has neither saloon nor surreptitious liquor selling. That is the req son for objection to headlines about "El Centro's Blind Pigs In Trouble" There is a distinction between the county seat and the county at large.

Nobody ever was rescued from

Nobody ever was rescued from drowning-in the newspapers who was not sinking for the third time." A twelve year-old Reno girl, heroine of the latest rescue, swan out to a drowning boy, and grabbed his hair as he "sank the third time" and dragged him ashore, says the scrupulously exact reporter. The superstition that it is always three times and out with a drowning person is as firmly rooted in the popular mind as t belief in the maleficent prop critics of the number 13 and the efficacy of charms for warts.

An anonymous writer in the Ameri- can Magazine for April undertakes to analyze the nature and account for the powers of the strenuous President. He says:
 It is probable, indeed, that no other man in the world could have been, at this time, more effectively serviceable to the country than Roosevelt. We needed just the qualities of unimagi- native commonness, energy and fear lessness which he possesses. If the evils that were growing up in the country had been palliated, smoothed over as Mckinley might have smoothed them over Gas Louis XVI palliated the conditions in France be- fore the ReVolution)I we might easily have had a social explosion in this country. On the other hand, vision ary radical might have brought the explosion by the violence of his rem edies. Roosevelt has been an ihstru- ment in letting off a Revolution quiet ly in the form of evolution. Through publicity and new laws the people see that the evils from which the country

but half of the country, and that half divided in its support of him; but Roosevelt whoops gloriously with -the whole crowd. He is just like us. As people we act swiftly and contin- uously and do our thinking after wards. We venture (where angels fear to tread) upon everything; and do few things we'll We, too, are i'm pulsive and our impulses are good but too often hasty. We have adopted rather than thought out our beliefs.
 So Roosevelt has represented us the mass of Americans. The reforms he has advocated are really our re- forms, not his. He has voiced them valiantly and fearlessly. It is his su- preme service that he has articulatel orr desires. And is not that what we elected him for?
 Ability to Voice the Crowd.
 For Roosevelt never leads; he al. ways IOllOWS. I1S dCISJ DuC uS dCJS only when he thinks the crowd is be- hind him. His understanding of us leads him rarely astray; and~when he does go astray, he instantly acts in thr opposite manner-and sets in agaip with the crowd.

counts open for the rise or fall i'm values,

one that was thoroughly unsatisfactory
from every point of view Prices wob-
bled around In an ajmless, nervous, and
htful manner, yet held within so narrow
a range that the extreme limit of fuctua-
tions in the principal stocks was only in
rare Instances more than point
