MORE ROOSEVELT LUCK

If MT. Theodore Roosevelt president of the United States, does not find his most helpful allies in his so-called ene- mics at times, we are unable to read the signs of the times aright. So per sistently have they combined on occas- ions that the very term Roosevelt luck'' has come to have a meaning dis tinctly it's own in this country, and ap- plicable to certain conditions frequent ly created by these very would-be crit. ics of the president.
 Just what strategic advantage, for instance, MT. willett hoped to gain through his recent personal attack on the president of the United States we are at loss to understand. There are plenty of openings in MT. Roosevelt's partisan armor through which we'll directed democratic attack might find an easy and effective landing, no doubt. Indeed, sensibly poised and vigilant opposition in congress would check ex- ecutive encroachments, whenever and wherever such things could be shown to exist Senator Rayner appears to un- derstand this--witness his recent speech anent the subject of the government s lately instituted libel suit against cer- tain editors. But what the minority ex. poets to accomplish by such speech as that delivered by the New York mem Der from Far Rockaway, we fail utterly to see ever so faintly.
 Instead of directing any measure of disfavor toward the president, 1t serves an exactly opposite purpose, and the man who does not believe it does not
 comprehend the fundamental makeup of the average American mind. People might be open to conviction in respect
 of the presidents temperamental or ad
 ministrative mistakes, but they are in
 tolerant of invective or ridicule, be
 cause they have pretty well made ul
 their minds, after seven and one-hal years of Roosevelt, that whatever h.
 may or may not be, he has had fin and wholesome effect on the country ! conscience, and has set up high stand ard of civic righteousness that is en l tirely worthy of emulation--even on tn
 part of congressman.
 Legitimate criticism is always in or der, of course. But members who ca find nothing better than cheap gibs

ECONOMY

Chairman Payne, of the ways an' means committee, who has been spend ing anxious nights and laborious day considering where spendthrift govern ment may find revenues to supply profigate purse, has sounded this not of alarm:
 'sI think it is about time that the house of representatives and every member in it began to think little of calling halt on the expenditures of the government. They have crept up to enormous amounts, and no one realizes that more than person who is engaged in trying to formu- late bill to provide revenues for the government. And want to say to the gentlemen on this side of the house in all seriousness that before they vote dollar or million dol lars or a hundred million dollars on any proposition they had better think twice. They had better study the appropriations that we are mak- ing, and the large expenditures we are making from year to year, and the revenues of the government. was always taught as boy to keep my expenses within my income. It is pretty good rule to follow, boy or man or nation; and think that when we come to consider these propositions we ought not to be wholly guided by gentlemen whom we have assisted into fat places in the government service. We ought not to be guided by the clamor of people who desire to continue their attachment to the pay roll of the United States, but we ought to con sider the people, as well, who are out of office, who pay the taxes, who pay these salaries, and we ought to consider whether it is not best to economize.''
 And in response to this most exec lent advice the house cut $6S,0OO ou of a pension appropriation bill of $16o 0o0,o0o, and proceeded to the discussio of naval appropriation bill of $40 oOo, ,ooo-$3o 100000 in just two of tn great war bills, or more. in all probs bility than the new tariff bill will yiel in revenue.
