ROOSEVELT Is TYPICAL.
He Represents the American People;
often Even Trying to Personify
Their Characteristics.

"AIr. Roosevelt represents the people,
says Lincoln StetIcns, ia the June Every
oodys. No one will deny that. We
| may differ ais to his wisdom, but we may
also differ as to the wisdom of the peo-
| pie And, since we have thought 50 little
about the common good, we might dis
agree over any act Of his; whether it
was for Or against the public interest.
But certainly MIR Roosevelt is not cor
rupt; ne is not diverted BY money, by
entertainment, by class consciousness,
nor BY any other OF those influences,
gross or subtle, which Keep 50 many OF
our representatives from doing their
duty BY the people who elect them TO
office. OF his honesty, loyalty, courage
and strength there is no doubt. The
man has tried to serve all the people all
the time.
His great fault ii that he not only
represents, he personifies the American
peolpe. There lies his political strength
and his philosophic weakness.
mo one accuses Roosevelt of putting
his ear to the ground, said keen cor
respondent one day. yet he senses pub
lie opinion unerringly, What he wants
to-day, the people may seem to be
against to-day, but in a day, or q week
OF two, they will be wanting what he

There's nothing strange about this.
"A great editor boosted that ii he liked

I'm common, he explained. My taste,
my mind, my whole makeup Is common.
That's why I'm genius. So with the
