the sentiment in favor of reopening

RO0SEVELT'S LATEST ~DISCOY
ERY.s

President Roosevelt having discoy-
cred that It is not right to vote
against a man because Of his reIi-
gious views. the discovery is hailed
as another evidence Of soIomonic
wisdom.
But really hasn't the same view
been advanced by every public man
Of consequence IN this country, be-
ginning with Washington.
Roosevelt says he delayed the de-
claration Of the discovery until after
the election from fear that it might
be considered as an attempt to in.
nuence the result. This eager desire
Of the President TO avoid tntrud.
Ing his views upon the country dur.
ing a presidential campaign is one
Of the most charming features of his
simple and childIike faith in hii
countrymen. How he overcame the
innate modesty that makes him shrink
away from undue publicity and prom.
inence, like the little wild yiole
hiding out IN the woods, VIII always
remain an impenetrable mystery.
Perhaps he was induced TO give tn,
letter to the public only after
protracted seige of persuasion b!
Cardinal Gibbons, who states that h,
knew in advance that it was com
ing"
1t is long letter, of course, bu
signally deficient in one thing. 1
falls to inform the public that tn,
Democratic leaders. following in tn,
line Of Democratic precedent for
century past, absolutely refused Il
become parties to any attacks grow
ing out Of religious differences.
1t also failed to state that thu
chief disseminators of the idea tina
religion and nativity are bars TO Of
fee IN this country are the Republi
can allies, the A. p A, Of the NortI
and West.
But, Of course, one could not ex
Dect the President to make too man!
discoveries at one time. The fac
that he has, after long labor 0
painful thought, brought forth
revised version of the very aucien
idea that a mans faith has nothing
to do with his availability for public
Office is hailed by his admirers al
sufficient to forever fix his admins
tration as the most important in his
tory.
So let it be.
