PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S MES
SAGE.

$40 servant OF the people has n
right 60 expect 20 be free from Just
and honest criticism. From Pres
idont Roosevelt's Message.
The special message OF President
Roosevelt as transmitted to the Con-
gress OF the United States Friday.
January 31st 1905 emphasizes the
fact that SO far as the two great po-
ltical organizations are concerned.
he IS a man without a party. We
have read carefully an OF this most
astounding deliverance. evlncing as
&c does intense feeling and bitter ha-
tired towards those who oppose not
only his plans. but his methods as
well.
IL seems to us that he has forgot
ten or purposely ignored the fact that
ne was nominated on a platform to
which he was pledged and on which
he IS i'm honor bound 20 stand until he
is elected by the spontaneous demand
of the people I'm accordance with a
declaration of principles framed by
Himself The men who denominated
the message as a sermon were not
far from the truth. President Roose
Welt is in the l!melight and he Is de-
termined that the people Of this
country shall know it,
He is absolutely beyond control.
even OF himself as it is possible for
IA human individual TO be. We have
noted his condemnation of the trusts
and of dishonesty in high places. but
the basic principle Of Republican
platforms demanding a free ballot
and a fair count has been left out
OF his decalogue. 1t seems to us
that his enemies have made heavy
inroads both upon his policies and
his temper. When Senator JeT Da-
Wis from Arkansas endorses his dis
sertations and declares that they
could readily be taken for mes
sage delivered by him while Governor
OF Arkansas, all has been said that
need be said.
We may be mistaken. but we be-
lieve that the political setting of
President Roosevelt's sun. so far as
the Republican Party is concerned
will date from the reading of that
message in Congress. The party
leaders now realize fully that some
thing must be done to check the i'm
petuous on-rush OF the occupant of
the White House.
Any person who has taken the
pains to note current events can see
that Mr.. Roosevelt is building up his
own party and 1t will not be long at
his past rate of progress before he
will as absolutely dominate the Re
publican Party as does Mr.. Bryan the
Democratic Party. Those Republicans
who do not intend to sit up and take
notice will be required to walk the
plank" so TO speak. Mr.. Roosevelt
is in the position to either nominate
his candidate or falling in this to
defeat the candidate who is nomi-
mated.

MIR. WILLIAM MONROE TROT.
TIERS DEFENSE.

We have received a communica-
ton from MT. William Monroe Trot-
ter. editor OF the outspoken Boston
Guardian. IL is addressed TO the
Transcript and is OF such length as
20 render IT'S publication in the col
umns of this journal prohibltive
Mr. William Lloyd Garrison alleged
that he had been placed in a false
light in the columns OF the Guardian
by virtue OF misleading headlines.
which conveyed the impression that
he was antagonistic TO Dir. Booker r.
Washington. IL was TO correct this
impression that he addressed COM
munication 20 the Boston Guardian,
OF which Mr.. Trotter IS editor and
he alleged that this distinguished
journalist refused TO publish his com
munication and re was forced TO seek
the columns OF the Transcript in or
der 10 transmit to the public all that
he was anxious 20 say.
The amusing part OF the affair IS
that Mr.. Trotter I'm addressing the
editor OF the Transcript used Ian
guage that placed him relatively in
the same predicament as that occu-
pied by the brilliant Mr.. Garrison.
Here is what Mr.. Trotter said:
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1908-02-08

Direct charges by so eminent a
