Those over-anxious people who have
feared that president Roosevelt would
fall below that high dignity with
which he has hitherto invested his Of
fee now see that their fears were
wholly unfounded and II there are any
who still doubt, let them carefully
peruse the recent message to Con-
gress and they cannot but be pleased
with its poise. good sense and terse
writing. This message will make the
President stronger than he was be-
fore, as we believe that the country
is back of the Roosevelt policies and
that the further steps which he pro-
poses will be ratified by public senti-
ment. These views are the legacy Of
Mr. Roosevelt's administration to the
administrations which are to follow,
and while they may not find express
sion in Legislation this year, or next,
or even the year following, they con-
tain seed which is bound to bear forth
good fruit in wears to come. They
are, therefore, of permanent value and
deserve the careful and thoughtful
consideration of the American people.
