The Practical Mr.. Roosevelt.

Roosevelt is opposed to publicity
of campaign contributions before
election probable for the same rea-
son that he was doubtful about the
"practicar' wisdom of Hartman
visiting him at the White House
in 1904, when negotiations for the
raising Of that quarter-million-
dollar corruption fund were being
conducted. Then he did not think
1t would contribute to party success
to have the voters of the country
know of the relations between
himself and the railroad manipula-
tor until after their ballots had
been east. For the same reason
he now does not wish those self
same voters to know who are finan-
ciering the Republican campaign
until after the election is over and
knowledge can in no wise effect the
result. The Roosevelt of 1908 is
no less "practicaT' than the RoOse-
welt of 1904. Are the sutTragans
of these United States no less
gullible:-Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
