The Wsrships and CONGRESS.


OF course nobody would accuse Mr..
Theodore Roosevelt, president of the
United States. of playing small and
picayune politics. Being a great states
man, man who holds himself so
far above the ordinary mortal in
these United States, no one would
dare to suggest he did anything for
mere cheap political purpose. He is
essentially a reformer, at least so his
friends say-and We must regard him
as such. And yet how curious It is
that speaking roughly, six weeks ago
when Senator Foraker was making a
speech on the case of the unfortunate
negro soldiers who were discharged
from the United States army without
trial or a hearing he was inter
rupted by IA message in writing
from the president" 1t was a curious
coincidence that when Senator Fora
ker was closing his magnificent
speech last Tuesday in favor OF gov
ernmental justice to these negro sol.
diers another message from the pres
ident which would have interrupted
| him had the messenger arrived five
minutes earlier AS il was the gal

and also the host of men who came
over from the house 10 listen to
the speech, so tumultousiy applauded
/ Senator Forakers address that the
presidential message could not be lis.
tened to or even received until Mr..
Foraker had finished.
These things might be regarded as
mere condolences. But 1t is fair to
recall the fact when Gov. Hughes
had announced that he would make a
speech setting forth his position as
to the presidential nomination, Mr.
Roosevelt sent to the congress of the
United States a message which be
cause OF its radicalism and because
of the prominence of its author en-
tirely destroyed the effect OF the
Hughes speech. Newspaper men know
that however eminent the governor
Of a state may be, message from
the president of the United States, 4
1t has any qualities of novelty, will
take precedence. As result the ad
mirable address OF Gov. Hughes wa,
thrust aside while to Roosevelt proc
lamation was put to the front AnC
nobody in the press gallery OF the
capitol at Washington questions fol
one minute the fact that that mes
sage was sent at that psychological
moment in order to destroy the
chances of Hughes in New York. A,
