Secretary of the Treasury Franklin
Macveagh set forth in clear terms at
the Commercial club banquet in Chi

Roosevelt administrations was OF
methods and not of principles. To
quote his exact words. he said:
"As to the Roosevelt policies. they
are as safe in the hands of the
present administration as they
were in the hands of the last. The
President has his own way of arriving
at results. What is more significant
and interesting at present is not the
actual noninterference, but rather the
fine disposition the President shows
to respect all rights and to meet every
body half way in the hope and interest
of a homogeneous party of progress
disposition which can only be inter
preted as statesmanlike Cancellation,
and which it ould be fatal mistake
to consider as a change of actual
policy or purpose.

said he could not help it, as Savan-
