BITTER CRITICISM.

The Boston Traveller can be about as bitter towards Roosevelt and his acts as any newspaper that comes un- der our observation, and can express it. self as freely and plainly as any of tn em. Like most of other Northern journals 1t has never ceased to con- demn the discharge of the negro sol- affair. and the recent action of Con- gross in passing a sort of compromise bill, by which the discharged soldiers may prove their innocence and re-en- list is little more pleasing to 1t than the original action of Roosevelt. but 1t looks at it as some reparation to tn ose whom it thinks were badly treat ed.
 But, however. our contemporary may regard the action of Congress it cer- tainly does not lessen its unfavorable opinion of the President: Public opinion and public contempt" it de- clares, have made an impression in this matter, even on the defiant occu- pant of the White House. and. despite the discredited testimony of dubious detectives and his constant fury and Iteration of guilt, he is glad enough to grasp even this poor legislative straw as he leaves office for good; but he can make up his mind the Browns vile incident will stand as an ugly blot in his 'scutcheon as long as he lives. What Mir. Taft would have done it is without choking them with cream; yet we question whether his alleged loyal ty to his political creator would make him deny justice to the black soldiers did the matter, come before him."
 We have been somewhat at a loss to understand why there should have been North regarding this affair. The Trav- eler says these negro soldiers were discharged and disgraced by the Pres ident as a sop to the South and an off, set to the Booker Washington lunch eon.' This may be a good Yankee opinion of the business. but it is only fair to admit that there have all along been diverse opinions in the South re- garding this much discussed affair, there being numbers who have all along contended that the troops were not fairly treated. However, we have no desire to discuss the matter. merely referring to 1t to show a specimen of Northern bitterness towards Roosevelt.

THE LAST DAY.

Today closes the Roosevelt adminis- tration. perhaps the noisiest and most spectacular the country has ever known. President Roosevelt within the last two years possessed in a remarkable de- gree the affection of the people and yet, the expiration of his term of service is hailed throughout the United States with general and genuine relief.
 Not since Andrew Johnson has a President retir,d to private life in such disrepute with so many members of both ranches of Congress. Certainly not since Andrew Johnson has there existed such bitter feuds between the President and the Legislative Branch of government. The Senate notorious ly hard to move was not content to sit quiet without administering a part ing rebuke. but it went out of its way to deal him the severest and harshest criticisms on the Steel Trust and Ten nessee Coal and Iron Company merger. Even if the report was not adopted 1t was one of the severest rebukes ever put upon a President. In the House the strictures upon him and his official &C., tions have been so severe that one speech was forbidden a place in the Record and that by Congress un- friendly to him and second was cen sored before 1t was allowed to go into the records.
 The Judicial Branch of government no doubt feels enmity of the same sort to the President, who has projected his views and his personality upon the privileges of the court as we'll as upon the privileges of the law-mak CTS. This is indicated by the more or less guard ed utterances with which the courts have now and then broken their usual conventions.
 Theodore Roosevelt personihed the idea of central, personal government That he wilfully and violently disre- garded the provisions of then Constitu-
  he let the pI emiscs of his own privil- leges when 1t suited him and trod reck- lessly upon those of the Legislative and Executive Branches, when 1t suit ed him. even his friends will not deny And what made his official career all the worse for the country was the fact that several governors of States king their cue from him. adopted his methods and followed his example in their own sphere of action.
 The country will sigh with relief when he steps down to the level of a private citizen where his indiosyncra- cies will not have behind them the prestige of the Presidential office

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1909.

There can be no doubt of the fact that the Republicans are much wor- ried on account of the regular and 'a- creasing deficit, but what are tbsy go- ing to do about it? They. b1 ought 1t .sa themselves .snd' must bear all the responsibility. If the executive and legislative branches of the government were to be transferred on the 4th of March from the Republicans to the Democrats we can imagine the former laughing in their sleeves at the hole they were putting the others in. but unfortunately for the R.'s it is they who are in the hole, and they must get themselves out or sink deeper. In the main the House and Senate will stand as it now does at least, the Republi- cans will have control and must bear the responsibility. .t seems cruel to turn such a problem over to the new President and his associates but they are in for it.
