quently. Like prophet Nathan
of old, he is not backward in
saying "Thousart the man."
We have styled Theodore a
preacher of righteousness. He
is that on a grand scale, and
much more, he puts his preaching
into effect. Cries halt on evil
doers. This he can do because
he is chief magistrate of this
great nation. Rev. Noah, and
indeed many another preacher
can do no more then denounce
wrong doing: but Theodore can
do vastly more, does do more.
He causes the civil courts to in
dict and punish the rich offenders
as if they were people doing
wrong.
This seems fair and right, and
rather than call the President
bad names. Chancellor Day and
Senator Foraker should honor the
man for his manly courage, and
say Goods Speed" to him.
The corporation lawyers and
hired scribblers may go on de-
nouncing the President; but the
people are proud of him and hear
him gladly.
Long after the wrathful critics
are buried in eternal oblivion, the
name of Theodore Roosevelt will
shine in delightful brilliancy as
the great and good Chief Magis-
trate of a magnificent country.

HIS HEART TO HEART TALK.

Senator Charles w. Fulton of Ore
gon was "stumper" whose methods
were effective He would begin like
this:
We'll, must say I'm disappointed
at this crowd! Look at all the ugly
men? Not q good looking man in the
whole convention. How does it hap
pen that such lot of mis-shapen
features on the masculine side have
been able to attract so many beautiful
female partners? Here I've been a
bachelor for 40 years; but If / had
known you fellows could do as well as
you've done. I'd never have been q
bachelor for Is minutes" ETC.
BY this heart-to-heart method he
placed himself on the best OF terms
with his hearers, and then took a dive
into politics. The joke OF it all was
that his wife was probably sitting in
the audience listening to his remarks.
