could have understood Mr.. Roosevelt
rushing into print on this subject
during the campaign. That would
have been consistent with his restless,
emotional nature and his seeming lack
of comprehension OF his position. But
the contest Is over, and the only
reason for the letter seems to be the
presidents unconquerable desire to ex-
press his ill-digested views on every
possible subject. There Is no argu-
ment In 1t that needed expression,
there is no statement that Is novel or
inspiring. But 1t is likely TO lead to
a deal Of futile discussion, and stir up
more or less ill-feeling. AS II is dis
cussion OF matters lying beyond the
presidents province. and the burden OF

cussion, the unwisdom Of 1t is mani
