President Roosevelt sent a speeia
message 40 Congress last week 10
which he re-afirms his policies ~ ian-
guage that cannotbe mistaken. ne
disclains his responsibility for the late
panic and hurds the blame back INTO
the teeth Of his enemies in language
that has stirred not only political but
business circles. ne places himself out
plainly as the enemy Of predatory
wealth and plainly shows that there
will be no surrender upon his part. In
fact he ont organs Bryan. The DEM
ocrats in Congress loudly cheered his
message and were joined By many Re
publicans. The Republican politician,
in the main, sat silent but deeply en-
barrsssed, and have since been as still
as the occasion demands. Many of the
leaders of his party applaud the Presi-
dents remarkable utterances and as
sert that he Is sincerely actuated by
the public good while others assert
that he is only making bold bid for
another nomination. The President
shows vehemeRce that indicates that
he is terribly in earnest which seems to
be contradiction of his past record.
lie has always bee ian intense partisan
and on many occasions hes shown az
offensive attitude to all who did not
agree with him in ultra views. He has
ever been one of those Republican pol
iticians who have shown little or no re-
gard for the interests of the people as
against the interests, of the rich aud
suffered the money power 80 run the
government to their liking. Every IN
formed person knows that Mr. Roese-
Welt was made President by the very
men he now denounces and the means
he now opposes We hope his con-
version is sincere.
